"Mei Rulan correctly identified nine of the thirteen ingredients in the original recipe."
The woman lowered her head slightly, a gesture of acknowledgment.
"Her flame control technique was excellent. She managed to compensate for some of the incorrect ingredients through an extremely precise sequence. Her patience and attention to detail are admirable."
Lio Han observed Mei Rulan for a few seconds before commenting in a low voice, his voice audible only to those nearby.
"A rather refined technique. She has great potential to grow."
The elder nodded, his eyes still fixed on the alchemist.
"Yes. If she continues developing her control, her future will be promising."
Mei Rulan received her reward, a scroll containing advanced refinement techniques, and descended, her face still calm, but with a glimmer of satisfaction in her eyes.
