Chapter 669
Diane had caught a whiff of the smell from downstairs, and she decided to come up to see what was going on. After she entered the room, she discovered that the burnt smell was so much stronger than before and she could not help but frown as she asked, “What are you doing, honey? What’s with this burnt smell?”
Severin merely scratched his head embarrassingly as he said, “I’m learning alchemy, and I almost succeeded earlier!”
“Alchemy?!” Diane furrowed her brows.
Severin had taught her a thing or two about attainment during the past few days, and once she recalled some of the things that He explained to her, her eyes lit up as she asked, “Is it the same kind of alchemy that’s used to refine alchemical medicine? The kind that can improve a person’s attainment base many times faster than spiritual herbs?”
Severin nodded. “Bingo! Just as I expected from my smart wife! I’m doing my best to refine it!”
After hearing that, Diane could not help but lick her red lips as she said, “Can I eat it then? If the refinement was successful, that is…”
Severin shook his head. “I’m afraid not. Even first-grade low-rank pills contain extremely powerful energy, and your body won’t be able to handle it if you eat them. It will produce too much energy in your body once it enters your system. Think of it like a balloon. If there’s too much air in the balloon, then it will be very easy for the balloon to pop!”
Diane pouted in disappointment and said, “What level of attainment do I have to reach before I can eat. them?”
Severin said with a smile, “Profound master, at least. It’s good that you’ve already progressed to a level six grandmaster, but that still isn’t enough. In addition, you won’t be able to see the spiritual energy in the world if you don’t have the talent for attainment.

Diane nodded and said, “I get it now. Looks like I have to wait until a year until the day that I’m going with you to Mount Ermonie and meet your master’s junior. I’ll be able to start practicing once he gives me that. treasure, right?”
Severin nodded. “Yes, but there’s no rush when it comes to practicing. A grandmaster-level attainment forms the foundation, and if you can break through to level nine in the future, then your strength would already be so much stronger than that of ordinary people. Aside from that, you can also practice some. fist techniques and other similar things when you have the time so your foundation will be even more. solid!”
“Okay, I understand. I’ll go downstairs and leave you to your alchemy then!” Diane smiled and went downstairs immediately.
Severin cleaned the alchemy furnace and continued with the refinement. He did not dare to be careless. on that occasion, and although it was only his second time going through the motions, he had repeated the theoretical part of the process in his mind countless times. That, along with the experience he gained from his first time attempting the refinement, allowed him to complete the process slowly without a hitch.
“Rise!” He yelled softly, causing a small round pill to fly up from the alchemy furnace and into his hand.
“Haha, it’s a success! A true success!” At that moment, Severin’s calm expression turned into that of
