Once that was said, Sheila giggled happily and sat down at a side. Then she took out the alchemical pill Severin gave her a few days ago to attempt to raise her attainment.
When Severin and Sofia were away, Diane went over and sat with Sheila. She chuckled. "Take a guess why Severin wants Sofia to go with him to find more wood. I think he's going to do what we talked about this morning."
Sheila was shocked and quickly responded. "Oh, my god! Now? Here? On this island? Why do I have a feeling that it's going to be a thrilling experience?"
Diane joked, "Why don't you join them? You're a fan of thrill and adventure, aren't you?"
That had Sheila blushing shyly. "Forget about it. It sounds fun but embarrassing too. He has Sofia accompanying him. Why do I want to go? Don't you know three is a crowd? It's better for me to stay here and absorb this alchemical pill and increase my attainment. At least we won't feel vulnerable if we are in the same situation as this morning when we become stronger. Then we won't need Sofia to help us and we can settle it by ourselves."
Diane nodded. "Yes, we're considered very strong in the mundane world. But it's not enough if we have to deal with secluded sects or families in the future."
Sheila shared her information. "I agree. I was talking with Sofia yesterday and only found out that there are people who have reached stages higher than a saint. There are so many things that we don't know of and we have much room for improvement."
After a pause, she continued, "But we have our advantage which is Severin. His alchemy skill is excellent and he improves very fast. At least with the alchemical pills he gave us, both of us could improve very fast too. We will probably be warrior emperors or even saints in no time."
That had Diane thinking. "There are four months left from the due date Severin's uncle-master gave him. Let's see if we can be warrior emperors before then."
"Yes. Let's start training. Don't waste the time."
