Life After Prison

Chapter 1927
Emery could not bear to witness her concede her position, but her pride had taken a hit of vulnerability when she faced the
undeniable reality. In the past, she had been hailed as the Sixth Mountain’s prodigy. The gap between herself and Celeste would
be minimal, if not entirely absent, if Celeste did not have the Forest Constitution. Being spoken in the same breath as Celeste
had imparted Emery with not just confidence but a touch of arrogance too. It was intensified all the more by her countless
admirers.
Having struggled for three years without breaking through the fifth level, the news of Severin’s achievement in just half a year hit
Emery hard despite her laughing off previous comparisons between her and Severin, While she might lag in attainment talent
compared to a core disciple like Severin, she deemed herself to possess a superior proficiency in alchemy.
As she contemplated her chances of being the first to reach the sixth–grade alchemist and possibly even
challenging Severin for the position of the core disciple, Emery re–entered the Alchemy Tower with the
same resolve she had just half a month ago.
Previously, she aimed to harness her formidable alchemy talent to raise her crafting recipe count in the
fifth floor’s assessment. She had surpassed her expectations, as she completed 990 and had only ten
more to go before she could the sixth floor, She hoped that the achievement would put her far ahead of
Severin at least, but the outcome was hardly to her expectations
As she took a deep breath, she gritted her teeth and declared, “My talent is far superior to yours.”
Disregarding her fatigued condition, she went back into the Alchemy Tower and resolved to reach the sixth floor. That was the
only way for her to redeem her reputation as the Sixth Mountain’s prodigy, and
she refused to admit defeat that easily!
After Severin had regained his spiritual power, he prepared to ascend to the sixth floor. The space on the sixth floor mirrored the
previous ones, with simulations of pills and materials surrounding him. However, the assessment was much more challenging
than the fifth, though not in the way that the fifth floor required him to use only spirit beast material.

The sixth floor had no specific time limit, but one had to craft ten different types of perfect sixth–grade pills. Crafting such pills
was an arduous task for a fifth–grade alchemist like Severin.
He took a deep breath and displayed determination in his eyes.
Having acknowledged that it would be foolish to attempt the assessment as a fifth–grade alchemist, Severin decided to focus on
honing his alchemical experience, which he decided to do so via the
simulation process in the Alchemy Tower.
The materials and the cauldron simulated by the Alchemy Tower resembled the refinement process, and brink of becoming a
sixth–grade alchemist.
Having previously attempted to refine the sixth–grade Prima Spirit Pill in Nontwo City, Severin encountered failure due to
challenges in obtaining alchemical materials and unfamiliarity with sixth–grade pills.
The experience gained within the Alchemy Tower was tangible even though the crafting process was a mere simulation. By
repeatedly refining a specific pill inside the Alchemy Tower, Severin could continually augment his experience!
