Life After Prison by Silencieux novel Chapter 1948

Severin, for example, arrived at Bleurealm's Nontwo City as a fifth-grade high-rank alchemist. Eventually, he discovered a sixth-grade alchemy recipe. Despite wasting so much of time and materials in his numerous failed attempts, he was still unable to make any progress.

A breakthrough for an alchemist was no easy feat, and was vastly different from the stages within a level for attainment, for an abundance of materials were needed for practice. It was only when Severin ascended the Alchemy Tower that he broke free of that predicament and reached the sixth level, for the simulation that tested his abilities to refine pills had allowed him to accumulate experience with sixth-grade pills. That was why he was able to successfully became a sixth-grade alchemist.

Severin's reassurance seemed to have an effect as the worries on everyone's faces began to dissipate.

However, Felipe remained firm in his opinion that Severin should have refrained from accepting the challenge and ought to have maintained a low profile instead. "You must not be careless, Severin" he cautioned. "There is still half a year before the sect's internal tournament, and this tournament is the key to securing a specific trip to a secret place. Standing out at this point in time might attract the attention of the five core disciples, and this could do you more harm than good!"

Felipe maintaining emphasized caution against the core disciples, whose abilities and talents they had no knowledge of other than the rumors saying that they were all powerhouses. Supreme saints were everywhere in the Bleurealm, and royal saints were regarded as only slightly better than a dog. As a former elder of the Skyblue Sect, Felipe was well aware of the politics within the sect's internal affairs, hence his decision to advocate for caution upon their arrival at the Grandiuno Sect.

Severin shrugged helplessly and said, "I'm afraid I've already captured their attention when I joined the Grandiuno Sect and became the sixth core disciple. Besides, if I win, I'll obtain the sixth-grade high-rank pill recipe and two Pristine Spirit Pills. If I lose, then it'll be a tie at most. Either way, I won't get the short end of the stick!"
