The old man continued training throughout the night, becoming better and better at making that one single pill.
Alex provided him with all the ingredients and let him train to his heart's desire.
The old man improved at a steady pace, going from 14% to 18% to 25% to 36%.
In just 10 subsequent pills, he improved by a massive amount, now able to make pills over 50% in Harmony.
"That's enough training for one session," Alex said. "You won't make any decent improvement anymore, and any improvement you do make will only be because you're getting used to this one recipe."
The old man nodded. "I have some fundamental failure. I'm not really that good at flame control. I always have been, sadly."
Alex nodded. "May I ask if you have a Fire spiritual root?" he asked.
The old man shook his head. "Just Metal and Earth. Why, is it important?" he asked.
