Blushing slightly, she raised her hand towards the judge closest to her.

"Great!" the judge commended. Canaan's spirits Lifted once again and he joined the judges in striding towards Isla.

As anticipated, the pill emerged from the furnace, gleaming as white as milk and as perfectly round as jade beads. Isla handled it delicately

The quality of the Concentration Pill exceeded all expectations. It seemed to surpass the efficacy of the one Isla had refined at 85% during the second round of the competition.

Canaan felt a mix of astonishment and delight. Naturally, the assessment of the pills required the use of specialized equipment .

The judges brought forth the necessary apparatus and commenced the analysis of Isla's creation, the "Concentration Pill."

“Humph! Barbara sneaked a glance at Isla from the corner of her eyes as she refined her own pill.

“After all, she was once a servant in my grandmother's household. Making efforts to refine something like the Concentration Pill is the pinnacle of her capabilities. She is hardly worthy of being compared to me," Barbara murmured with a hint of disdain.

Just as this notion crossed Barbara's mind, the judges boomed, Loudly announcing the final test result.

“The Concentration Pill refined by Isla has achieved an astounding efficacy level of ninety percent!"

The resounding voice of the judges reverberated across the square.

The announcement brought the once bustling crowd to a sudden hush. Even the two fierce competitors in another contest couldn't resist pausing to witness the spectacle.

A Concentration Pill boasting an efficacy of ninety percent?!

Although classified as a first-grade pill, its quality rivaled that of second-grade pills!

“What an extraordinary talent! This girl is truly gifted!" exclaimed a mesmerized onlooker.

Regardless of her humble background, in this moment, Isla had gained the recognition of the entire Jenkins family with her near-perfect Concentration Pill!

“While talent is undoubtedly important, her unchanged innocence and genuine character are the most precious rarities in this world," Goodwin remarked with a smile, his admiration evident.

The face of Mrs. Jenkins grew dark, for never had Mr. Gregory praised Barbara in such a manner.

Simultaneously, Barbara's countenance mirrored the gloominess of her grandmother.

In truth, during the second round of the competition, Barbara herself had refined a Concentration Pill with an efficacy of 89%, an achievement that was highly commendable.

But now, it appeared that a well-trained medical alchemist in the Jenkins family had been bested by a humble servant!

Barbara found it hard to swallow.

"I must compose myself. It's not the end. I did not lose to her yet! I possess extensive knowledge of the art of refining grade-five pills. In contrast, she only knows how to make a Concentration Pill. The truth is, I am superior to her," Barbara declared confidently.

“If I get the opportunity, I will implore my grandmother to expel her from the Jenkins family," Barbara asserted, her tone revealing her vicious intentions. She felt better and soon regained her composure after mumbling those malicious words.
