Chapter 1665
“Hold on. You’re a fourth–grade medium–rank alchemist?” Wuhlricht was stunned for a moment. He heard that Severin was a
fourth–grade alchemist and automatically assumed that he was a fourth–grade low–rank alchemist. That in itself was already
very impressive. It was news to him that Severin was a fourth–grade medium–rank alchemist!
Severin answered nonchalantly, “Yes. I am a fourth–grade medium–rank alchemist.”
Why didn’t you tell me that sooner? I was always under the impression that you were a fourth–grade low–rank alchemist! Your
alchemical skills are incredibly high!” Wuhlricht was thoroughly taken aback after discovering Severin’s true grade.
There was a huge disparity between a fourth–grade low–rank alchemist and a fourth–grade medium–rank alchemist despite the
slight difference in level. A fourth–grade low–rank alchemist’s pills were usually more effective for those with an attainment of
level one to level three saints. Meanwhile, the pills crafted by a fourth–grade medium–rank alchemist were especially beneficial
to those who were between level four and level six saints. The difference was noticeable, as the latter group was poised to
become level seven to level nine saints. These were the most important groups for the sect, as there were expectations that they
would reach the exalted status of a king.
Since Severin was a fourth–grade medium–rank alchemist, his abilities would be significant in expediting the sect’s ability to
nurture many more such disciples. The sect’s progress would thus improve even more.
Severin then responded helplessly, “You didn’t ask.”
“Didn’t 1? I remember asking you just yesterday,” Wuhlricht responded with a bewildered frown.
Severin elaborated, “Well, your question was whether I was a fourth–grade alchemist, and I said yes. You assumed that I was a
fourth–grade low–rank alchemist.”
Wullricht seemed dumbfounded. “Do you understand how important it is for a sect to have a fourth–grade medium–rank
alchemist?”
“Very important, of course!” the elder chimed in
Wohlricht gave it a little more thought and leaned closer to Severin. Once he could ensure that no outsiders were present, voiced
his concern and said, “I’m now reconsidering my decision to let you enter the Paradise Secret Realm. It’ll be a huge blow to our
sect if something happens to you inside that place.”
Severin was taken aback and retorted with a wry smile, “Did you have to be so pessimistic? Weren’t you confident in my abilities
yesterday? Why the change of tone right now? I’ve heard about the Paradise Secret Realm before but I’ve never had the
opportunity to go there. I’m not going to miss out on the chance to experience it.”
Wuhdricht then explained, “I had confidence in you yesterday because I knew that your attainment level is quite high. Your
strength will lower the risk that any untoward incidents might happen. However, countless other talented individuals will also
enter the Paradise Secret Realm, not to mention the possibility of spiritual beasts that might possess an attainment level on par
with a level one or level two royal saint. It would be wise to have some degree of caution.”
Severin pave an exasperated sigh and commented, “You seem to imply that I’m essential to the sect, but wouldn’t the Skyblue
Sect still be a first–tier sect even if I’m not around?”
