Life After Prison by Silencieux novel Chapter 2121

In the opinions of the peak masters, acquiring Severin as an elder brought a deluge of benefits. Firstly, a seventh-grade alchemist stationed in their mountain could guarantee a steady supply of pills for their disciples. Secondly, resource allocation by the sect might slightly tilt in their favor.

As a result, the peak masters of all nine mountains rushed to persuade Severin into joining them.

Myles, the first of the peak masters who arrived, came to realize that his offer was becoming much less attractive in comparison to the other people's soaring bids. He anxiously approached Severin and said, "If you join the Seventh Mountain, I'll grant you the position of deputy peak master, two spiritual treasures, and two seventh-grade herbs! You'll also be given full access over our alchemy resources for your alchemy needs!"

The surrounding peak masters scoffed at Myles' cunning tactic to sweeten the deal. They knew full well that the Seventh Mountain had little resources because their focus was on swordsmanship!

Daniella had the same thought as well, and she felt compelled to roll her eyes at Myles before addressing Severin, "Since you are now a seventh-grade alchemist, your ability aligns perfectly with that of the Sixth Mountain's focus, which is alchemy. I will appoint you deputy peak master, and I assure you that you'll have no shortage of herbs for you to use in your training!"

It went without saying that the Sixth Mountain was the best place for a person to refine the alchemy craft. As the Sixth Mountain peak master and a seventh-grade medium-rank alchemist who oversaw the Alchemy Chamber, she could ensure that Severin would receive unlimited resources.

She knew better than anyone the things that truly appealed to a seventh-grade alchemist—it was either higher-level knowledge or better quality seventh-grade herbs. In that aspect, the Sixth Mountain was far better than all the other mountains combined.

As expected, Daniella's words drew groans of disapproval from the other peak masters. Myles, in particular, fumed with frustration because he had been first to congratulate Severin. "No! I was here first! Severin is obliged to come to the Seventh Mountain!"

Rowan, from the Eighth Mountain, chuckled sarcastically. "And what makes you think this operates on a 'first come, first served' basis? Shouldn't Severin have a say in this? Our mountain welcomes him with open arms too."
