Even if Severin were to fail the assessment, he was determined not to let go of an opportunity to gain valuable experience. Severin shook his head and gazed at the vast array of material before him. "Let me secure a breakthrough to sixth-grade alchemist before moving on from there."
Severin opted once again to craft the Prima Spirit Pill and use it as the avenue to become a sixth-grade alchemist. He had limited experience with that pill, after all, and each failed attempt contributed to his understanding of crafting them.
After formulating his game plan, he located the materials and meticulously followed the steps. For his first attempt, he tossed the materials into the cauldron one by one, but the cauldron roared and emitted a puff of black smoke—signs of another failure. Undaunted by the setback, he remained undeterred and felt a renewed determination that only grew with every failed attempt.
The subsequent failures did not dampen his enthusiasm in the slightest, and Severin persisted as he rapidly honed his proficiency in crafting the Prima Spirit Pill. After countless simulations, his perseverance paid off and he finally achieved success.
Seven days later, a fatigued yet joyous Severin sat cross-legged in front of the cauldron. After consuming several energy-restoring pills, he expressed his satisfaction and said, "After thousands of attempts, my confidence in the success rate of the Prima Spirit Pill has soared to about fifty percent.
This fifty percent success rate might look average, but it marked Severin's official ascent to a sixth-grade alchemist. All that was left was to master the precise manipulation of properties during the crafting process.
Reflecting on the time that had elapsed since he entered the Alchemy Tower, Severin stood up and silently counted the months that had passed. He decided it was time to return to Pearl Light Isle and make an official breakthrough to become a sixth-grade alchemist.
