Harris could only smile bitterly after Fellx’s suggestion. “There’s no doubt over his status as an
alchemist if he possesses a cauldron like that. He must have some skill as well. That’s the most
usible exnation aside from a possible connection to someone powerful.”
As the notion of a connection to someone powerful crossed Harris’s mind, be inhaled sharply and
added, “Wait, didn’t they mention earlier that our sect leader arranged for them to stay here? Are they
close with our sect leader? Could our sect leader have given him that cauldron?”
Felix shot a re at Harris. “You’re always overthinking things. Why would our sect leader give him
that? That’s a stretch, even from you!” After a brief thought, Felix added, “Don’t worry. He’s probably
just trying to bluff us. He hasn’t even taken out his materials yet. I’ll make it more challenging for him so
we won’t necessarily lose the challenge even if he does seed in producing a third–grade pill.”
“Ahem! What are the two of you discussing? You’ve been whispering between yourselves for quite
some time now How long do I have to wait until you’re ready to witness my demonstration?” Severin
interrupted. He had a serene smile on his face as he unveiled a set of materials for third–grade
medium–rank pills.
“Isn’t that material used for crafting third–grade medium–rank pills? Is that what you’ve chosen to
craft?” Harris inquired in surprise as he came closer.
Their challenge to him was to create a third–grade pill, and Severin could have chosen a less
complicated task by refining a low -rank one. They all know that medium–rank was far more
challenging than the low–rank
Felix seemed delighted with Severin’s decision because a third–grade medium–rank pill was
undoubtedly more difficult than a low–rank one. At that moment, he pondered for a while and then
asked Severin for his name. “May I know your name?”
response, Severin introduced himself. “My name is Severin Feuillet.”
Felix nodded and borated, “Very well, Severin. We agreed that we would only kneel in apology if you
could create a third- rank pill sessfully on the first try. We won 1 acknowledge your sess
otherwise.”
She, who had been observing quietly, protested animatedly, “You can’t du that! You never mentioned
earlier that it had to be done perfectly on the first try! Third–grade medium–rank pills are very
challenging, and not even an expert like you can guarantee sess on your first attempt. A one–out–
of–three sess rate is already good enough by normal standards. You’re being unreasonable for
demanding that be seed on the first try!”
“What did you say? Did you just use us of being unreasonable? It seems to me you need to be
taught a lesson!” Her remark was met with Felix’s rebuke as he clenched his fists and retorted, “Your
man only has himself to me for being arrogant and condescending. He shouldn’t brag about his
abilities if he doesn’t have anything to show for it. Why should we believe that our sect leader arranged
for him toe here if he’s not as good as our master?

She wanted to argue with them again. “How dare…”
Severin smiled and stopped her. “There’s no use arguing with them, She. I’ll be fine. All I have to do
is seed on the first try, right? It’s not a problem for me.”
Then, Severin turned to the two men and said, “Watch closely now.”
The two alchemists exchanged a nce and snickered. Harris even gave Felix a Hummbs–up for
coming up with that requirement. Their insistence that Severin mist seed on his first attempt achled
an extrayer of difficulty. Any anxiety or tension on Severin’s part would only increase the odds of
failure.
In other words, even a third–grade high–rank alchemist would have a very low chance of sess,
However, Severin’s movements were executed with sach fluidity that buth Felix and Harris were
astonished.
“My goodness! I’ve never witnessed a technique like this before!” Harris excialined.
