Chapter 1257


    Chapter 1257


    Severin was distraught because his attempts with several sets. of materials all ended in failure.


    However, he tried to look on the brighter side because the repeated failures were seen as


    stepping stones to his sess.


    “Refining third–grade medium–rank pills is difficult. I’ve failed more times than I’ve made progress.”


    Severin took out another set of materials. He looked at them and could not help but smile wryly. “Well, I


    suppose that slow progress is still considered progress. I hope I can achieve some measure of


    sess before the materials run out.”


    Severin then told himself to avoid thinking too much. He then


    threw a spring into the alchemy furnace again and continued with his refinement. He went through the


    process step by step


    in a meticulous fashion.

    It was almost past four in the evening, and the girls had finally returned home after a day out in the city.


    When Megan set foot in the living room, she immediatelyid on the sofa andined, “Don’t the


    three of you feel tired after shopping for a whole day? My feet are hurting from all that walking, but


    you look like you still have a lot of energy in you.”


    She smiled and said, “It’s because you don’t train much.


    You’re only a level one grandmaster. You can’tpare yourself to us, it’s because we’re profound


    masters! A bit of


    2/3


    shopping isn’t going to tire us out.”


    She then looked at Sofia and said, “In Miss Sofia’s case, a whole day’s worth of shopping is probably


    like a short walk for someone of her attainment.”


    Sofia smiled and said, “She is exaggerating, but she’s right in saying that I’m not that tired.” Having


    said that, Sofial caught a whiff of something and asked, “It smells good. What could it be?”


    Diane smiled and said to Sofia, “Severin must be busy with his alchemy making again. He’s been


    spending all his free time


    crafting.”


    She then added, “Honestly, I think he looks really handsome


    when he’s busy refining alchemy. Men look exceptionally handsome when they’re concentrating on


    doing one thing.”


    Sofia blushed and wanted to ask if Severin was just as


    handsome when he was focused on making love to She the previous night, but she decided not to in


    the end. She smiled subtly and said, “Perhaps that’s where an alchemist finds joy. We won’t be able to


    experience something like that even if we


    wanted to.”


    Diane frowned curiously and asked Sofia, “Isn’t your attainment level high enough that you can learn


    alchemy?”


    Sofia said with a smile, “Alchemy requires talent. It requires mental fortitude that no ordinary person


    can nurture, and it


    3/3


    also depends highly on one’s personality. Impatient people like me aren’t cut out for such things. Even


    if our mental abilities are strong enough, alchemy has a very high rate of failure. It would be a


    huge waste of materials if I attempted to replicate it.”


    Sofia then paused for a moment before continuing, “Besides, if alchemy is easy enough for everyone to


    learn, then there


    would’ve been more alchemists around.”
