In the center of a courtyard, Wuhlricht cocked his eyebrows as he was about to make his move and pointed out, "Not everyone is as gifted as you, Severin. The Chaotic Constitution makes it training second nature to you. Felipe and I recently broke through to level one supreme saint not long after arriving at the sacred lake, and we'd have our solid past foundations to thank if we were lucky enough to progress to level two supreme saint in one go."
Felipe then said with a smile, "Don't take this the wrong way, Severin, but you need to attain a balance between work and rest. Secluding yourself all day will make you as dull as a statue."
Wuhlricht and Felipe's double act left Severin a little bewildered, but he knew that they were making perfect sense. During their time in the Skyblue Sect, everyone made rapid progress because Severin provided pills for everyone. That assistance allowed everyone, even the less gifted, to make near-effortless breakthroughs. However, Severin made almost zero progress in alchemy since his arrival in Bleurealm.
Though the Grandiuno Sect provided pills every month, the meager resources were not enough for supreme saints to make a breakthrough. Wuhlricht and the Great Elder were fortunate to have an Element Constitution, thus negating some of the difficulties that ordinary practitioners would face. It might even take several months for such disciples to achieve a breakthrough.
Severin could not help but smile wryly when he contemplated that. He had attempted to refine the sixth-grade pill Prima Spirit Pill that the Chorteaus were given back in Nontwo City, but it failed due to his unfamiliarity with the formula and the high costs of the materials.
'I should take this time to enhance my alchemy skills. It'd be best if I could become a sixth-grade alchemist. This way, Diane and the others can catch up with my pace and advance further,' Severin thought to himself.
His wives Diane, Sofia, Sheila, and Gilda all possessed a Spirit Constitution. Though they were considered prodigies within Bleurealm, their progress was hampered due to the increasing difficulty faced by those with higher attainment levels. The lack of resources was a huge factor contributing to that challenge.
