To his surprise, Severin grinned and said, "Haha, you don't have anything to worry about! I'll have some fifth-grade low-rank pills ready for you in no time."
Severin then extended his hand to reveal five fifth-grade low-rank pills. "I only have five at the moment though, but they're yours to use."
"Fifth-grade low-rank pills? Are you already a fifth-grade low-rank alchemist? I must be dreaming," Wuhlricht pinched his thigh just to confirm that everything was happening in reality.
"Sects like the Horizon Sect don't even have a fifth-grade low-rank alchemist, right? Severin must be the world's one and only fifth-grade low-rank alchemist," Gilda exclaimed in excitement. Severin's rapid ascent to becoming a fifth-grade low-rank alchemist was nothing short of astonishing.
"This is excellent news! If you're able to produce hundreds of fifth-grade low-rank pills, we can help more people in our sect become level three or even level four royal saints! Haha! The sudden increase of royal saints will allow us to hold our own against the Horizon Sect," Wuhlricht remarked animatedly.
Given their strained relationship with the Horizon Sect and Severin being Gilda's child's father, the only way to rid themselves of their predicament was for the Skyblue Sect to grow stronger. After all, hiding the truth was untenable, and an all-out confrontation might break out if the truth slipped out by accident.
After pondering for a while, Severin added, "I would have to become a fifth-grade medium-rank alchemist if we are to surpass the Horizon Sect. The pills I'll be able to craft then would be effective even for level six royal saints. One pill might not have much of an impact, but two pills on the regular is bound to have a significant effect over time. You might even make a breakthrough to level nine royal saint."
