    Wuhlricht nodded and said, “Those in thete and peak stages of level nine saint will probably only


    need


    one pill, while those in the early and middle stages will likely require two.”


    Felipe chimed in with enthusiasm. “We might be a first–tier sect, but the gap between our sect and the


    upper–ss first–tier sects is still rather big. This is especially so in terms of the number of royal saints,


    as


    other sects far outnumber us. Now that Elder Severin is a fourth–grade high–rank alchemist, we will


    soon


    see the addition of many royal saints in our ranks. This way, that gap I mentioned will narrow


    considerably even though we’re still some way off from catching up to them.”


    Wuhlrichtmented admiringly. “Severin is full of surprises. I’m still in awe of his alchemical talent.”


    Following a pause, he continued, “But it’s important for us not to divulge the fact that our sect now


    boasts a fourth grade high–rank alchemist, especially while Severin is away. If other sects are aware of


    his status, our envious counterparts might want to get rid of him. We would have to face some


    catastrophic losses


    to our sect if they seed.”


    The elders all recognized the gravity of the situation and nodded in agreement. After all, not a lot of


    first- tier sects were lucky enough to have a fourth–grade high–rank alchemist.Original content from N?velDrama.Org.


    “Haha, there are several reasons why Elder Severin is more powerful than fourth grade high–rank


    alchemists from other sects,” Felipe began with a chuckle. “First of all, he’s young, and he has a lot of


    potential to be a fifth–grade low–rank alchemist in the future. Secondly, his efficiency in crafting


    pills is on par with two or three alchemistsbined, and he also boasts a higher sess rate than


    them.”


    Wuhlricht nodded in agreement. After a moment’s contemtion, he said to Felipe, “Take these pills


    and give these to disciples that you feel will benefit most from them. Prioritize those who are on the


    verge of breaking through to level one royal saint and tell them to train. However, you must also warn


    them not to let anyone know that they’ve broken through. It’ll be even better if they conceal their


    attainment for the time being, or else it’ll be somewhat rining for the sect to have a sudden addition


    of over fifty level one


    royal saints.”


    “Understood!” Felipe took the pills and flew off.


    After everyone left, Wuhlricht took off and slowly made his way back to his residence. When he arrived,


    he noticed Gilda sitting alone on the swing with a sorrowful expression and a heavy heart. He


    approached her worriedly and asked, “Did your breakthrough not go as nned? Don’t beat yourself


    up over it. Setbacks tend to happen sometimes, so cheer up. Just keep at it and give it another try once


    you’re ready.


    From Wuhlricht’s point of view, Gilda was in a somber mood because of two factors: she had focused


    on her attainment at the expense of seeing Severin and the others off, and that attempt at making a

    Gilda forced a bitter smile as her eyes welled up with tears. “I don’t know what to do, Dad. I can never


    be with Severin. Please tell him that I’m not worthy of him when he returns.”


    Wuhlricht inhaled sharply and asked, “What’s going on, Gilda? Didn’t you two get along well during the


    last few days? Did you get into an argument?”


    Gilda clenched her jaw and needed some time topose herself before she confided in him. “I can’t


    do it, Dad. I can’t go through with terminating the pregnancy. Maybe you can help me while Severin is


    in the Paradise Secret Realm? That way, he’ll never know that I’m pregnant and I can still be with him!”


    “Wha?!” Wuhlricht gasped. “You’re pregnant?!”
