Life After Prison by Silencieux novel Chapter 1917

Severin exhaled after hearing the voice. Identifying the properties and uses of 100,000 different herbs within half an hour might be an immense challenge for others, but a fifth-grade alchemist like Severin had no difficulty completing it.

Upon learning that he could proceed to the next floor, Severin accepted readily and went to the second floor. The environment around him transformed, revealing a sizable cauldron and much plant material.

Severin then contemplated to himself, 'I suppose this assessment requires me to refine pills then.'

His question was finally answered as the voice instructed, "Craft ten types of second-grade pills within an hour. They must be all of elite quality."

Severin's composed expression immediately turned stern. "Now this is starting to be a challenge." Crafting ten top-quality second-grade pills in an hour demanded swift alchemical prowess and the ability to discern the most optimal combination of ingredients.

Severin did not hesitate at all in accepting the challenge. As of then, he had learnt the recipes for 20 types of pills, and the task—though somewhat tedious—was still rather manageable. He used his spiritual energy to ignite the cauldron and meticulously placed various combinations of herbs into it. With the use of several intricate hand gestures, the cauldron began to vibrate.

Before long, he successfully crafted ten top-quality second-grade pills, thus securing him entry into the third level of the tower.

Outside the tower, Severin's swift advancement to the second floor had caused his name to be inscribed on the stone monument. An observant individual quickly noticed Severin's name at the bottom of the rankings.

"Severin Feuillet? Who is he?" a disciple said, prompting everyone to look toward the stone monument.
