Jadiel added, "But let's be clear. Even though the Stillwater Pill ends up as a fire attribute, it starts from water-based herbs. The pill is essentially nine parts fire and one part water. You think I wouldn't be aware of that?"

Larry felt his face burn with embarrassment.

He'd assumed the Stillwater Pill's formula was a closely guarded secret, something those who hadn't cracked it couldn't fully understand.

He'd never heard of anyone named Jadiel who had also managed to decipher it in the martial world.

Larry had genuinely believed he could use the Stillwater Pill to ace the "Creating Something from Nothing" task, banking on a little optimism. Now, he realized he'd been too naive.
