Life After Prison by Silencieux novel Chapter 1258

Diane nodded in agreement. "Yes. Being an alchemist is beneficial to a lot of people."

Sofia nodded in approval. "Many sects would give anything to snatch up alchemy geniuses and highly-proficient alchemists. After all, the pills they refine have very good effects on warrior kings, and even to those who are at the level of warrior emperors. However, it is difficult to become an alchemist, and even harder for an alchemist to make breakthroughs."

Sofia paused, "Many people end up plateauing at second-grade low-rank or second-grade high-rank. Going any further is incredibly difficult."

Sheila scratched her neck when she heard that and thought to herself, 'Severin became a third-grade low-rank alchemist so quickly. I bet all the other alchemists will be envious if they find out."

Time trickled by, and Severin eventually put away the alchemy furnace after two more sessions. 'I can't believe it… I wasted ten sets of materials. I'm glad I made some progress, but I guess I'll continue tomorrow.'

He went downstairs immediately after because it was almost time for dinner. He would not want to be a bad host to Sofia and make her unhappy.

"You finally realized that it's time to stop, huh? You've been cooped up in your room while you have guests around! Aren't you concerned for Sofia's happiness?" Diane rolled her eyes at Severin when he came down.

Severin smiled awkwardly and said, "I had no choice. There's no taking back lost time. I can't let my alchemical skills lag behind."
