"You truly hit the nail on the coffin, girl! Felix is a perfect match for you. If he doesn''t get the Ice Dragon furnace, who else would?" Delh eximed.


    Huh? A couple? Natalie''s expression quickly changed. Her? Coupled with that pervert? That was absolutely impossible!


    "Alright, alright, Nattie. Since Delh is asking for it for once, I cannot refuse. As for whether you get with him or not, that''s for you youngins to decide. We won''t care about the matchmaking," Bern said with a chuckle.


    Immediately, a silver-white furnace appeared. There were two dragons carved on each side—a total of four dragons. On the silver surface of the furnace, the dragons truly looked like they were real.


    "I''ve lifted the restrictions on it. Now, let''s allow Felix to try."


    The smile on Delh''s face grew even wider. "Ah, you old man, you''re still so kind. Let''s wait until hees out before letting him try it. He''s refining the Breath Concealment pill currently."


    Bern nodded. "Alright. Then let''s wait for him to finish his refinement-wait! You said the Breath Concealment pill?"


    Beside him, Natalie''s eyes widened in shock. The Breath Concealment pill was an intermediate-level pill. Could Felix truly refine it?


    "That''s right! My disciple is a super genius that onlyes once in a thousand years. Are you surprised that he can refine an intermediate-level pill? He could refine an intermediate-level pill just after three months of studying medical books!"


    What the hell?


    Bern pointed at himself. "Is he better than I was back then?"


    "Oh, nonsense! It''s only a matter of time before he surpasses you. I would never lie!" Delh dered.


    When she saw the stunned expressions of the grandfather and granddaughter, Delh couldn''t be happier! Her old acquaintances had always boasted about their disciples.


    Now, she finally got to experience this feeling! It was truly riveting!


    "My goodness, no wonder you were so eager to ept him as your disciple! If this boy was left alone, I don''t know how many alchemists would want to snatch him up!" Bern eximed.


    Natalie remained silent, unable to ept it. Didn''t that mean Felix would take away her title as the top alchemist of the new generation? She had been practicing alchemy for many years-yet she had only started refining intermediate pillsst year.


    Felix must just be exaggerating.


    "When will the ceremony to ept disciples be held?" Bern asked.


    Delh shook her head. "There''s no ns for that yet. Felix is in a critical stage, and he hasn''t been systematically taught alchemy. before. These are our top priorities now, and we can''t dy them just for the ceremony."


    ...


    Soon, three days passed by in a sh. The door to the secret room finally opened, and Felix appeared, looking quite depressed.


    "Madam Goddard, I''m so sorry. You prepared three sets of ingredients for me, but the first two attempts failed. However, the third attempt seeded."


    There was a huff as Bern spat out the tea he was drinking. "You rascal! This is your first time refining an intermediate pill, and you seeded on the third try! Are you still not satisfied?


    "My god, someone kick this show-off out of here!"


    Natalie had aplicated look in her eyes. Just for this reason, she had lostpletely. Back when she first refined an intermediate pill, she had used a lot of ingredients and


    finally seeded on the 15th try.


    Inparison, this was simply indescribable.


    "Oh, hello, Mr. Earnhart!" Felix quickly greeted Bern once he noticed him and Natalie there. Felix didn''t want to be perceived as rude after all.


    Even Delh, who knew Felix better, was shocked once again.


    "It''s alright, it''s okay! Sess on the third try is already incredible! How many pills did you make? Let me check the quality."


    Felix walked over, seeming even more dejected than before. "Madam Goddard, it seems like I''m not as skillful as I thought. The intermediate refinement process really pushed me. I only made six pills..."
