Chapter 64 Poison Needle

• As Sebastian immersed himself deeper into the world of advanced elixirs, it became increasingly evident why accomplished alchemists were so few and far between; the cost of spiritual herbs was simply beyond the reach of most individuals.

It made him wonder how anyone else could possibly succeed.
