Was it a mere cakewalk for her to refine some fifth-grade or even sixth-grade pills?

Canaan found himself even more astonished when he realized that Maria had doubts about the fairness of the panel, which included him and other judges.

Indeed. Since returning to the Jenkins family, Maria had experienced events that eroded her trust in anyone within the family.

“Meticulously crafting grade six pills... The process is incredibly time-consuming, not to mention the resources required. It pains me deeply..." Maria whispered pensively.

Meanwhile, Canaan's anxiety reached its peak.

He felt like urging her to refine the pills right away!

He would only be relieved if Maria started to refine the pills. Regardless of the number of medicinal ingredients needed, Canaan was willing to cover all the expenses. Such was his determination.

Why wouldn't Maria dream of winning the championship? Her primary concern was how to preserve those herbs. How absurd!

Unable to contain himself any Longer, Canaan uttered in a hushed tone, "I will reimburse you for all the expenses once the competition concludes!"

As the words left his lips, Canaan's face flushed with embarrassment. Being a righteous gentleman, he was unaccustomed to such negotiations. However, it appeared that Maria had caught every single word he uttered. She raised her head and bestowed upon him a smile.

“As a matter of fact, Isla has borrowed the medicinal materials from me for the competition. revealed Maria.

“I will take care of all your expenses! Just proceed to the competition!" Canaan urged, his legs and stomach trembling.

What could be troubling Maria?

She possessed the skill to refine grade six pills. How could the cost of herbs concern her?

Those herbs...

They were inconsequential compared to the pills!

“Thank you, Canaan."

Maria smiled, commencing the process of pill refinement.

But what kind of pills would she ultimately produce?

Naturally, Canaan couldn't help but be filled with curiosity. After all, it appeared that Maria was about to embark on refining the coveted grade six pills.

It had been two decades since the Jenkins family last undertook the refinement of such advanced pills.

Time passed gradually, weaving its intricate tapestry.

"I... I have finished. My pill is complete," Isla announced with a touch of excitement.

The first to complete the task was Isla and her creation was the remarkable Concentration Pill.
