"Laura, I'm thinking about opening a clinic in the city. Is that difficult to do?" Felix asked casually.Laura chuckled. "Not at all. As long as you have a medical license, you can open one easily."Having just arrived in Martial City, Felix already had a rough plan. His primary goal was to strengthen himself, and opening a clinic seemed like the most stable way to achieve that. On the surface, he would treat patients, while in secret, he would purchase rare medicinal herbs for pill cultivation—it seemed like a solid approach."How easy is it to acquire rare medicinal herbs here? Is it just a matter of having enough emeralds?" Felix inquired.Laura could not help but smile knowingly. By now, she had guessed that Felix had to be from the capital. The questions he asked were things no native of Martial City would ever wonder about. Although Xena had provided Felix with a lot of general knowledge, deeper details about life in Martial City could only come from someone who had lived

"What's wrong?" Felix asked with a frown. Laura's reaction seemed overly dramatic, as he had only asked about the Maximus family, nothing more.Realizing her mistake, Laura quickly composed herself and apologized, "I'm sorry. I didn't expect you to ask about the Maximus family."In Martial City, they're a very special group with eyes and ears everywhere, both inside and outside the city. Whatever you do, don't mention them to anyone else. It's too easy to end up on their radar."Her explanation left Felix feeling fortunate to be guided by her. With matters like Harmony Clinic, he could figure things out by spending a bit of emerald. However, it would not be as easy to find sensitive information about the Maximus family because there would not be a second chance to learn that, and no one else would have warned him."The Maximus family is the top family in Bedford, located in the southern region of Martial City. They're extremely powerful and notoriously domineering. On top of that

When Felix entered the room, he noticed a pale-faced young man slumped over a table, fast asleep. Nearby, a middle-aged man was engrossed in a book, seemingly unaware of Felix's presence."Hello," Felix greeted, drawing the man's attention. The middle-aged man looked up, smiled, and stood. "Are you here to learn pill cultivation?"Felix nodded. "Yes, I am.""Prepare your silver needles," the man instructed. Felix was not entirely sure why but complied without hesitation.The man then woke the young man, who groggily grabbed a glass of water, took a sip, and lay on a bed in the corner. "You have ten minutes to cure him. If you succeed, you'll pass the preliminary assessment. Otherwise, you'll have to leave."Felix approached the young man and immediately realized the issue. Though the man appeared healthy, his internal organs were rapidly deteriorating—a clear effect of whatever was in the water he had just consumed. The symptoms were so severe that even a master healer would

Thankfully, the old woman's next words assured Felix that his concerns were unwarranted. She placed a piece of paper on the table and said, "This is the formula for one of the most basic pills in pill cultivation. "Once you've learned the basics, this pill can be crafted within a month with a 100% success rate. This pill will serve as your final test. The time it takes you to successfully craft it will determine your pill cultivation talent."She explained, her gaze locking onto Felix."Harmony Clinic categorizes pill cultivation talent into five grades: Heaven, Supreme, High, Intermediate, and Low. We don't accept anyone in the Low grade. "If you can craft the pill within a day, your minimum grade will be Supreme. You're considered Heaven grade if you complete it within half a day. High and Intermediate grades take between two and five days, respectively."Her gaze locked onto Felix as she continued, "Many people come here and purposely conceal their abilities. They could finish

From the conversation, it was clear that the old woman, Delilah Goddard, held a significant position within Harmony Clinic. She even called Dickson by his first name without hesitation."Has the kid started?" Dickson asked."Interesting. It's the first time I've seen you take an interest in pill cultivation. It's not really your style," Delilah replied.Dickson leaned back, propping his feet on the table. He was about to pick his nose again but stopped when Delilah shot him a sharp glare, forcing him to laugh awkwardly."Ordinary cases don't interest me, not even those with Supreme-grade talent. But this kid is different," Dickson said casually."Oh?" Delilah's curiosity was piqued. "What's so special about him? Hearing you, of all people, give an opinion on an alchemist is unheard of."Dickson glanced at the closed door of the room where Felix was working and did not answer directly. Instead, he posed a question of his own, "Delilah, among the alchemists you know or have heard o

Time was running out—less than an hour remained before the 12-hour mark, and Felix was still grappling with his decision. He muttered, "Alas, this is such a headache."He knew that if he did not complete the task within the next hour, his talent would forever be categorized as Supreme grade, and Heaven grade would be out of reach. Talent was a fixed trait, unchangeable by time or experience, so once determined, there would be no second chances."The gap between Heaven grade and Supreme grade is massive. Then again, becoming Heaven grade also means drawing a lot more attention," Felix thought.For ten hours, he had agonized over this, torn between the external threat of the Maximus family and the Grand Elder and the internal challenge of Harmony Clinic's resource restrictions. It was no wonder the choice felt impossible."Damn it! Sacrifices must be made," he murmured through gritted teeth, finally making up his mind. The resources provided to a Heaven-grade alchemist were simply

"Ma'am, I'm truly honored by your offer, and I'll never forget your kindness, but I've already sworn allegiance to a mentor. I'm afraid I must decline," Felix said with an apologetic bow.Delilah had expected as much. Felix's young age and his remarkable attainment of Physical Refinement Realm clearly indicated that he was not self-taught."It's fine," she replied with a smile. "Your mentor can't possibly be an expert in every field. The path of learning never ends, and truly talented individuals often have more than one mentor. I would only be guiding you in pill cultivation and nothing more."Before coming to Martial City, Gerald had mentioned that Felix could consider taking on a mentor for pill cultivation, as Gerald himself was not an expert in the field. However, Felix had too many unknowns to deal with right now and did not dare rush into such a commitment."I appreciate your understanding, ma'am," Felix said politely, bowing again.Delilah felt a pang of regret but decided

Felix panicked, wondering what the hell was happening. Before he faced any life-threatening dangers in Martial City, he was actually at risk of losing his dignity first.What made it worse was that the seductive middle-aged woman holding him in an iron grip was a Physical Refinement Realm martial artist, just like him. He would have to go all out if he wanted to resist, but could he risk that here?"Ma'am, what are you doing?" he protested. No matter how much he struggled, it was useless. Her hold on him was unshakable, leaving him completely immobilized."My, my!" Nellie Belmont chuckled, clearly amused. "You're an interesting one. Most men would kill for the chance to be with me, and here you are, acting scared. It's adorable, really—it's making me enjoy this even more.""Who is this crazy woman?" Felix thought, his frustration mounting. No matter how alluring she might be, there was no way he would allow himself to be caught up in this mess just because of his hormones."Ma'am,

Delilah said, "Your words have brought back memories. That old man is cunning and sly. While I don't consider him a real threat, removing him won't be a simple task. "He comes from the royal lineage and holds a high position as the general of the city's defense forces. His demise would not go unnoticed by the royal family." Felix was smart, but Delilah's tone hinted that there was more to the story. It seemed like she still had some limitations in Martial City, and there were certain individuals she couldn't risk angering."But don't worry," Delilah reassured. "I can easily transfer him out of North City to ensure your safety while you’re here." With that taken care of, Delilah got down to business. "I've already submitted your application for the Intermediate Alchemy Assessment. It will take place in five days at Harmony Clinic's headquarters. Unfortunately, I won't be able to accompany you. I made a promise to an old friend to refine some pills for him. Your presence has cau

Jeremy was known for his ruthless nature. With a flick of his hand, he sent an invisible force toward Mindy. She had no time to even scream before she collapsed in a pool of blood, her final sound unheard. Despite murdering his own family member, Jeremy acted as though it were no big deal and even managed to force a smile. "You can make one more request," he offered casually. Once again, Felix was reminded of the heartlessness of the inhabitants of Martial City. It was a place where strength equaled power. "Release Laura. From now on, she has no relation with the Larsson family."Jeremy waved his right hand again, and the ropes binding Laura snapped. She landed safely beside Felix. "Let's go," Felix said. With a deep exhale, Jeremy finally relaxed, only to come face-to-face with Jared. "Jeremy, I believe I'm owed an explanation, don't you think?" Jeremy narrowed his eyes at Jared. If this guy weren't the son of a high-ranking general in the city defense forces, he would ha
The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection Chapter 978
At that moment, Felix became aware of Jared's presence and realized the situation. Jared rose from his seat as well. "Felix, I had a feeling you'd show up to rescue Laura. "That's why I informed the head of the Larsson family beforehand, anticipating your attempt to deceive them by posing as Madam Goddard's disciple."Laura, who was in the process of getting hung, desperately wanted to say something. However, she had been silenced and could not utter a single word. The look in her eyes displayed a silent plea for Felix to leave as soon as possible and not to worry about her. If they both stayed, they would never be able to escape. However, Felix ignored her and remarked coldly, "So, you don't believe me?"Jeremy's eyes narrowed as if he were staring at something beneath him. "So today you're Madam Goddard's disciple," he scoffed. "What about tomorrow? Will another kid come along and claim to be Mr. Earnhart's disciple? And what about the day after that? It's absurd, and here

The locations of Harmony Clinic and the Larsson residence were in completely opposite directions. Jared speculated that at Felix's speed, there was no way he could make it to both places in time to save Laura. So, once Felix made his move, he was certain to go to the Larsson residence. To guarantee the success of this plan, Jared threatened one of Andrew's subordinates with life or death, forcing them to block all signals in the area surrounding Harmony Clinic.After all, Andrew held a high-ranking position in the city defense forces and had the power to make this happen. In Martial City, one of the four major cities under the rule of the royal family alongside Imperial City, various families held power and influence. However, they are all subordinate to the royal family, and their city defense forces are under their command.As time went by, in a courtyard belonging to the Larsson family in North City, Laura hung from a rope. Though she didn't show any visible signs of physical

It was clear to Felix that Laura was struggling to live within the Larsson family. Despite not sharing her troubles with him, he could sense her discomfort from the get-go. It was telling that she didn't even have skilled bodyguards by her side, especially considering the size and influence of the Larsson family in North City. It was unthinkable for them not to provide proper protection for their direct kin.Mindy said, "I am here to inform you that Laura has been confined to the water dungeon due to her involvement in an inappropriate relationship with a member of our household staff. She will face execution in 30 minutes. "If you have already had any relations with her, consider yourself fortunate. It is acknowledged that she possesses considerable physical attractiveness. However, if not, then it is indeed unfortunate for you."Mindy left without saying another word. Felix's expression became stern and disapproving. It was absurd to accuse Laura of having an affair with a me

Bern stood up and pointed a trembling finger at Felix. "No one stop me! I'm going to beat this little show-off into a pulp right now!"However, no one even attempted to stop him! Delilah was laughing wholeheartedly, and Natalie was dumbfounded.This was Felix's first time refining an intermediate pill; he not only succeeded in three attempts but also made six pills? It was so terrifying that it was hard to describe. Yet, throughout all this, he was more worried about the outcome."Sit down, Bernie! You know nothing at all! My disciple has high ambitions. And here I thought he was as easily satisfied as you!"Delilah's eyes sparkled with joy. This was indeed her beloved disciple. She was also surprised by the success rate of his first intermediate refinement."Felix, making six pills on your first try has already broken the record of the alchemists of Martial City! If you don't believe me, you can ask old Bernie here how many pills he had made on his first try."Bern calmed down,

"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?" Delilah exclaimed.Huh? A couple? Natalie's expression quickly changed. Her? Coupled with that pervert? That was absolutely impossible!"Alright, alright, Nattie. Since Delilah 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 Delilah's face grew even wider. "Ah, you old man, you're still so kind. Let's wait until he comes out before letting him try it. He's refining the Breath Concealment pill currently."Bern nodded. "Alright. Then let

In the end, Delilah still chose not to hold a ceremony to accept 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, Atlas had already contacted an elder of the family."Herbert, I just received news from the spy at Harmony Clinic. Felix Zeller had just been accepted as Delilah's disciple!"On the other end, Herbert wondered for a long time before replying, "This complicates things. If he was merely a genius at Harmony Clinic, your earlier assumptions would've been right. "But since Felix was accepted as Delilah's disciple, this is a little difficult to deal with! I can't guarantee anything—but two things are certain. First, Harmony Clinic will st

"Impressive! No wonder you're someone who practices Dragons Destroyer. If your family hadn't practiced it before, I would've been shocked by your terrifying martial arts talent. Haha! "This is just another benefit of having the true Dragonspine. Otherwise, how could you reach the Physical Refinement Realm so fast?" Atlas laughed.Felix shook his head again. "Is it necessary to say such things to comfort yourself? I can practice the Dragons Destroyer. I think that speaks for itself."Atlas's smile immediately vanished with those words. "Well, whether you want to or not, you'll come with me today! A mere Physical Refinement Realm martial artist means nothing to me!" "Alright, then let's see if you're able to make me go with you," Felix said as he stood up. The shutter door was pulled aside just as they were about to fight. "Two grown men with the door closed in broad daylight? What are you two doing in here?"Atlas turned around fiercely and was about to angrily spit out the wor
