The Rise of a Master It Starts With Rejection novel Chapter 959

Delilah was utterly stunned upon hearing Felix's confession, her mouth agape in disbelief. However, she didn't think that Felix was lying.

"So, you already know alchemy?"

To achieve such speed, there was only one explanation: Felix was already skilled. No matter how exceptional his talent, it wasn't possible to cultivate pills within ten minutes for the first time. Merely understanding the instructions would take at least an hour.

"Yes."

Upon receiving confirmation, Delilah stood up immediately. "Come on. Let's head to Harmony Clinic. If I'm to teach you properly, I need to understand your current skill level."

Felix had no reason to refuse. Since he had chosen to trust her, he felt it necessary to reveal some secrets. After all, with Delilah's abilities, harming him would be as easy as lifting a finger, and there was no need for her to beat around the bush.

At Harmony Clinic, Felix spent half an hour studying the book Delilah had given him. The book had already been bound to him by blood. He then said, "Madam Goddard, with what I've learned from your teachings, I can only refine basic pills for now."

To be honest, Felix was a little surprised. The names and effects of the pills in the book were identical to those in Gerald's teachings. He had expected there to be significant differences.

The distinction lay in the scope of knowledge. Gerald's book was quite concise. On the other hand, Delilah's book was vast and comprehensive. Not only did it include detailed annotations and insights, but it was also far more robust in content.

"Oh? You can already refine basic pills? What about Windseeker Pills? Can you make those?"

Felix nodded. "Yes."

Delilah immediately made a phone call, instructing someone to deliver the herbs required for refining Windseeker Pills.

"The most critical aspect of being an alchemist," Delilah began, "is pill-forming rate. Pill-forming rate essentially refers to your control over the process.

"Think about it: with the same set of ingredients, someone might produce six pills from one batch, while another only produces three. Over time, this gap will grow exponentially.

"The key to pill-forming rate is talent. Hard work can help, sure, but it can only improve your yield by about 10% to 20% at most."
