The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection

For the past six months, Felix had almost never left the house, let alone North City. Everyone who knew him could only stare helplessly.

All of a sudden, Nellie's phone rang. She frowned after listening to the call.

"Felix, the front desk said that the sixth prince, Zayn, wants to see you."

The sixth prince? Felix thought about it and then replied, "Alright. I'll come over."

Deborah nodded. She knew that the two of them had grudges, but so what? Even if Zayn was a royal, he was also required to follow the rules. Besides, Felix was now in the middle stage of Transcendent Realm. Thus, it wouldn't be easy to kill him, either.

Felix arrived at a café in Rosewood. Only Zayn sat on the entire second floor of the establishment.

"Felix! You're about to take the advanced pill assessment, right? Well, with your skills, there shouldn't be any hiccups. Congratulations!"

Felix was confused.

What was Zayn up to? While there was only a conflict between them, he knew that Zayn wasn't someone who let grudges go easily. Could time really have softened Zayn's heart?

Moreover, Felix had only just come out of his training, yet Zayn knew of the news immediately. Zayn truly had many spies around him.

"You're too kind, Your Highness."

Zayn poured a cup of coffee for Felix, his smile growing brighter. "As the saying goes, disagreements often lead to friendships. The matter with Nerissa is in the past now. Felix, I came here to let you know that we should let bygones be bygones and to propose cooperation."

Since Zayn was showing him courtesy, Felix smiled politely. "May I ask what sort of cooperation you are proposing, Your Highness?"

"It isn't a secret that your refinement success rate is very high. Many people in Martial City know about it, right?"

Felix nodded, not denying it. Deborah had told him that if he kept it a secret, people would speculate. Besides, no one would've expected that his success rate was 100%.

"When you become an advanced alchemist, your success rate for Ascension Pills will definitely be

"Please stop beating around the bush, Your Highness," Felix said.

Zayn slowly put down his coffee cup and got to the point, explaining, "I'll provide the materials, and you will refine them. Give me one Ascension Pill for each material. How about that?

"If there's more than one, you can keep the remaining, no matter how many. I only want one pill each time."

At first glance, it seemed like a favorable deal, but how could Felix agree? Everyone around him required the Ascension Pill, and not even one could be spared! Besides, did Zayn take Felix for a child?

Once Felix lost his benefits, Zayn would turn his back against him again. How could he help boost his enemy?

"I apologize, Your Highness. I'm not that confident in my skills to be able to produce an Ascension Pill in each batch. This means the deal is off."

Felix gave a curt bow and said, "Goodbye."

Materials? Since he was supported by Harmony Clinic, how could he be lacking materials? How ridiculous!

Surprisingly, Zayn didn't stop Felix from leaving. Instead, he took out his phone. "What did I tell you, Ean? He refused," he reported.

The voice on the other end was low. "Let's destroy him, then. No matter how high Felix's success rate in refining the Ascension Pill is, wenoveldrama
