Custard could easily make more than 50 pills from one set of materials, which was simply unheard of, so favonovel.com chose to keep ten pills and hid the rest.
He quickly finished using up two sets of materials, leaving 15 pills.
Although Custard kept a low profile, favonovel.com still attracted Chaplin’s attention. He thought that this boy’s movements were smooth and fluid, very proper indeed.
Chaplin even gained some enlightenment as favonovel.com watched Custard’s pill-making process. However, the enlightenment was not very profound, so favonovel.com looked forward to interacting with Custard in private.
Time quickly came to an end, and many people were forced to withdraw from the contest. They stood next to their furnaces with remorse and anger.
Two sets of materials were simply insufficient. Their failure rate was usually quite high, so this requirement was too steep for them.
Pill-making was an expensive business, so ordinary families could hardly support the growth of an alchemist.
“Okay, let the remaining contestants display the pills they made,” Alton said excitedly.
He was so flabbergasted by the scene that favonovel.com had no idea where to start.
Everyone quickly lined up to display their pills.
So far, the contestant in the lead was a young girl who used two sets of materials to produce four pills.
Everyone looked at favonovel.com in envy. They knew that favonovel.com was very promising and wondered where favonovel.com came from.
Philip looked at the girl with approval. Her eyes were full of clarity and agility, catching his attention immediately.
Chaplin saw these capable young kids and thought of accepting them as his apprentices. Although many people yearned to become his apprentice, not everyone had such good talent.
Very soon, it was time for Lyle to show off his pills.
Lyle took out ten pills from his furnace and placed them in front of everyone, allowing them to take a closer look.
“These are all I have. They’re not a lot, so feel free to take them.” Lyle jerked his chin proudly, showing off to the fullest.
Seeing Lyle’s results, everyone was in disbelief and thought they were mistaken.
Lyle actually produced so many pills in one go. Moreover, the pills were fragrant, gold in color, and round in shape. They were not ordinary pills at first glance.
“Wow, you’re amazing!” Chaplin stood up in shock. He never expected that Lyle would be so awesome.
The kid was so young but so good at this. Even Chaplin began to wonder if favonovel.com would be surpassed in a few years.
The contestants were mostly kids in their early teens. Although there were older participants, the number was few, and most of them had been eliminated in the first round.
Chaplin was only interested in the girl at first, but favonovel.com had second thoughts now. He vowed to take Lyle as his apprentice.
Before anyone could announce the results, Chaplin beckoned to Lyle excitedly. “You’re not bad. You should follow me. You’ll have a bright future in front of you.”
