All fifteen sisters who originated from Yukon knew that Lorelei had a huge passion for alchemy. She
was basically a very devoted alchemist, even considered to be an obsessive pill lover.
It was most likely thanks to Loreleiâs heart disease that she turned out this way. Although her illness
would not kill her, it limited her powers. She had already hit her peak after achieving the last stage of
Heavenly Deity⦠She was so close to achieving Heavenly King, but simply couldnât seem to reach that
cultivation. Her cultivation journey had been put to a halt thousands of years ago. Thus, she lost
interest in cultivation and started obsessing over alchemy, an infatuation that ended up a burning
passion.
It was scary how efficient one could be when obsessed over something. Moreover, Lorelei had been
fixated on alchemy for several millennia. In reality, the woman had already made a name for herself
back in ancient times. As a famous alchemist, multitudes begged her for medicinal pills.
Nobody actually knew the main reason of Loreleiâs promise to support Eustace in Yukon. The area was
filled with various kinds of spiritual herbs, and it possessed all the Chi and spiritual energy of the entire
universe.
That meant that the success rate of making pills within the sanctuary would be much higher than usual.
This was actually her real reason of coming Yukon. However, Lorelei realized that her alchemical skills
had reached its limit after being in Yukon for three thousand years. At this point, she personally
believed that she wouldnât be acheiving anymore shocking breakthroughs in her learning.
She figured that she was likely the strongest alchemist in this universe, and had only been trying to
achieve in making the Great Star Pill her entire life. Even then, she had managed to do this a while
ago. Now, she realized that she was horribly wrong. There were people out there who were better
when it came to alchemy.
Morten showed her that there were bigger goals in life, and that her alchemy skills werenât as great as
she thought it to be. Bjorne made her realize that a completely pure medicinal pill did in fact exist, and
wasnât merely fictional.

When Morten synthesized a pure Enlightenment Pill, Lorelei was exceedingly overwhelmed, so much
so that she hugged him. In the end, she even groveled before him, holding his feet out of respect and
nearly kissing his toes.

Morten couldnât understand what she was feeling.

She was unhappy that Mortenâs skills were greater than hers, but she was happy that her alchemy
journey hadnât ended just yet. Instead, a longer path seemed to lie ahead something that satisfied and
delighted her a lot.

It was similar to leveling up in a game.
Anyone would still be excited before reaching the top, doing missions and quests continuously, working
together with other players to fight off monsters, all these just to obtain the excitement of going up to
the next rank. However, when a player had reached the top, the fun was no longer there, and theyâd
lose the motivation to play.
The fun had to come from achieving a goal, an indication that the journey wasnât over.
Morten was speechless as he continued to stare at Lorelei. âDoesnât she just want to make pills? Why
is she being so dramatic? Look at her. Sheâs literally fallen to her knees.â
Morten
Alex
âGet up!â
âNo! If you donât promise me, I wonât get up. Forever!â
âAre you really doing this now?â Morten found this rather ridiculous. Bjorne was starting to wonder if
Lorelei had merged with the soul restriction spell he did on her. After all, he wasnât controlling her at this
moment she was doing all this voluntarily. This was in complete contrast to her self-centered behavior.
It was way too different.

âYou have to understand one thing. I promised to break the restriction spell on you after ten years.
Youâd be able to regain freedom by then.â
âBut now, if youâd like to learn alchemy from me, you need to recognize me as your master, which
means joining my clan. Youâd have to follow my rules and listen to everything I say. Are you sure about
this?â Morten asked.
Morten
Alex
Lorelei immediately replied. âYes, Iâm very sure!â
Morten looked at her. âAlright then. Iâll take you in since youâre being so sincere. Letâs make more
Enlightenment Pills tomorrow. Today, we can share these.â
