In the end, Delh still chose not to hold a ceremony to ept him as a disciple. She knew that Felix was still harboring a secret, and although they were mentor- mentees, they still respected each other.
She was very happy that they could acknowledge each other as mentor-mentees in public without having to hide it anymore.
Soon, Felix went to the secret room in Harmony Clinic to try the intermediate refinement process for the first time. Meanwhile, As had already contacted an elder of the family.
"Herbert, I just received news from the spy at Harmony Clinic. Felix Zeller had just been epted as Delh''s disciple!"
On the other end, Herbert wondered for a long time before replying, "Thisplicates things. If he was merely a genius at Harmony Clinic, your earlier assumptions would''ve been right.
"But since Felix was epted as Delh''s disciple, this is a little difficult to deal with! I can''t guarantee anything-but two things are certain. First, Harmony Clinic will stand firm behind Delh; second, many martial artists who owe her will refuse to back down, even when facing our family."
As gritted his teeth. He couldn''t have thought of this-that was the terrifying part of being an alchemist.
"Fuck! What kind of stupid luck does Felix have? He''s actually some kind of genius in alchemy!" he cursed in front of his elder. He was the only one who dared to do this in the Maximus family.
"Don''t worry. Felix is in Martial City. It''s much easier to do what we must do than in the capital. Now, we just need to wait for the right time—and it''lle."
Inside Harmony Clinic, Bern came by with Natalie, holding various items in his arms. They came to look for Delh.
"Congrattions, Delh! You finally got yourself a precious disciple," Bern congratted her.
As he did, Natalie offered her congrattions as well. However, she didn''t have a good impression of Felix. She couldn''t understand why Delh valued someone like Felix so highly.
After all, everyone in the pill cultivation world knew how strict Delh was about epting disciples. Otherwise, she would''ve epted many a long time ago. Why would she wait until now?
"Are you only saying a word of congrattions? Bern, you''ve truly grown less considerate with age!"
Even as he was scolded, Bern
smiled. "What do you want, Delh? You know how I am the best. Your disciple is like family to me! Of course, I wouldn''t forget a proper gift. just didn''t want to bring something you wouldn''t like and get scolded again."
Delh nodded. "That sounds about right. He stillcks a proper alchemy furnace. Why don''t you give him your Ice Dragon furnace? It''s just about right for him."
That being said, she had been eyeing the furnace for a long time now. Otherwise,
she would''ve given Felix an Ice Dragon furnace long ago.
The Ice Dragon furnace was a genuine pseudo-magical artifact. It was considered one of the top-level alchemy furnaces in Martial City.
These items were categorized into different levels. Artifacts were the mostmon, followed by true
artifacts, treasured artifacts, and et
magical treasures. Pseudo-magical artifacts were a cross between a treasured artifact and a magical treasure.
In Martial City, they were rare items. Even Bern and Delh only truly use alchemy furnaces that were pseudo-magical artifacts-showing how valuable the Ice Dragon furnace was.
"An Ice Dragon furnace? Delh, you know me so well," Bern replied with a bitter
smile. He was quite reluctant to give it up. It was a pseudo-magical artifact, after
all.
"Madam Goddard!" Natalie said.
"Forgive me for intruding, but the
elder gave me a Fiery Phoenix furnace to pair with the Ice Dragon furnace. When the furnaces are paired together, the sess rates of
refining pills increase significantly.
"The elder promised that when I find a partner, they also said that they would give
an Ice Dragon furnace to my partner."
A faint smile grew on Delh''s face.
