Charlie could instantly see the look on the two people’s faces. So, he had a stern expression as he said, “I asked Miss Fox to prepare some medicinal ingredients for me, and I plan to refine some pills tonight. Rosalie is the strongest among the three of you, so she will be following me so that she can help me in time if there is any need.”
For Charlie, refining higher-level pills was a great challenge.
The higher the level of a pill, the greater the loss of Reiki during the refining process, and that meant the more dangerous the refining process was.
If there was a deviation in the middle of the refining process, there might be a loss or even a serious backfire.
Although Rosalie could not help with refining the pills, she was the strongest among them. With her around, she could at least help Charlie eliminate outside interference as much as possible and act as an extra layer of protection.
The two men suddenly came to a realization and could not help but show regretful expressions on their faces. At this time, Rosalie also felt a little ashamed because of her wild thoughts just now.
The four of them then arrived at the top floor. Charlie brought Rosalie to the presidential suite, and after he had instructed her to close the doors, windows, and curtains tightly, he said to her, “Rosalie, I will be refining pills in the presidential suite later. Don’t let anyone in until I come out.”
Rosalie nodded and asked him, “Is there anything else you need me to do?”
Charlie smiled slightly and said, “No. Just don’t let anyone disturb me.”
Rosalie said without any hesitation, “Okay, Mr. Wade. I will keep watch at the door.”
Charlie suddenly remembered something and asked, “Rosalie, how does it feel to be a four-star martial artist?”
Rosalie still could not hide her excitement when Charlie spoke of four-star martial artists, and she said respectfully, “Mr. Wade, I... I haven’t had time to experience it yet... but it feels like a dream. Grandpa has been hoping all his life to become a four-star martial artist, yet I’ve already reached this realm when I’m only in my twenties... It... It’s really a bit unbelievable, and I’ve been in a bit of a daze all the way here. I may not be able to adapt to it for a while.”
She then suddenly felt a marble-sized object being thrown into her mouth. She subconsciously opened her eyes, and before she could speak up, she felt that the item in her mouth had instantly turned into a warm stream that quickly flowed into her elixir field.
Rosalie was instantly shocked, and she could not help but look at Charlie as she asked in horror, “Mr. Wade, did... did you just give me a pill?!”
Charlie nodded and said lightly, “It’s a Healing Pill. This pill can help you break through to become a five-star martial artist quickly. Didn’t you say that you haven’t gotten used to breaking through to becoming a four-star martial artist? You might as well get used to being a five-star martial artist at the same time, then.”
Rosalie was suddenly dumbfounded. She never would have dreamt that this was what Charlie meant when he said that he would save her some trouble earlier.
Just as she was feeling so flattered that she was at a loss for what to do or say, Charlie said faintly, “I’m going to refine the pills now. You should use this time to absorb and digest the pill. You will be able to break through the fifth meridian in ten minutes at most.”
Having said that, Charlie did not wait for Rosalie to respond. Instead, he turned around and entered the bedroom with the medicinal ingredients, leaving Rosalie standing there motionless in a state of confusion.
