Just like that, fifty years had passed inside the tower since Kent entered Selcusion. On the outside, two years and a month had passed. Not too long, but quite a long time for people living inside the tower.
Not that they cared. Their ages advanced based on the time outside, so despite fifty years passing, they were all only two years and a month older.
Kent, who had entered the Alchemy Tower to advance his understanding of the Alchemy path, sat silently, a deep golden flame burning on his forehead.
It had already been a year since he reached his fourth enlightenment. The plan was to gain only three enlightenments. However, Kent was swept away when he started enjoying pill making every time he emerged from an enlightenment.
The first enlightenment was on purification. He got to witness a true Pill Emperor purify pills. It was a mesmerizing display that left him in awe. This made him fall in love with Alchemy all over again.
