The Herb King

73 Awakening Pellets Sold Out!

There were only ten Awakening Pellets on display and the first one was already sold. Everyone became more anxious, but they were still unsure if it is really as effective as the owner said.

One hundred thousand gold coins isn’t a small amount of money and not everyone was as rich as that young man who didn’t even blink when he purchased the Awakening Pellet with effectiveness that was yet to be verified.

“Hello, Sir Aethelwolf! It’s good to see that your clinic already has a lot of people on its first opening day! Congratulations!” Prince Calvin smiled at Leric

Leric smiled and shook his head. “Most of our visitors this time are just curious individuals. The true customers have yet to come...” Once these people try out the effectiveness of their products, they would soon be known by everyone in the city. By then, many rich people who badly needed his items would come to purchase from him.

“It looks like you’ve thought far ahead, Sir Aethelwolf. I’m impressed by your vision.” Prince Calvin praised him sincerely. Aethelwolf is one of the few people he admired.

Leric merely chuckled at his words.

“I won’t disturb your further, Sir Aethelwolf. You still have a lot of things to do. I’ll look around the clinic on my own.” Prince Calvin smiled as he walked away. His father told him to buy one of each item sold by Aethelwolf. With the number of people inside, his products would soon be out of stock. It wouldn’t be good if he failed the task given by his father.

Seeing the second prince buying so many things at once, everyone no longer hesitated. If even the prince was there to buy the products, what was there for them to hesitate?

“Hahaha! I’ve become an Esper! The pill worked!” A loud joyful laughter echoed within the clinic, making everyone stare in the direction of the third floor.

.....

“Isn’t this the voice of that young man who bought the Awakening Pellet?”

“Did it really work? Did he really become an Esper?”

“I know who that young man is. He is Aaron Zachary Buffet, the son of Baron Renaud Buffet. He was appraised to have an inactive Hegel and was said to have no hopes of becoming an Esper in his life.”

“That means the Awakening Pellet worked!”

After a moment, the people inside the clinic immediately grabbed the remaining Awakening Pellets.

“That’s mine! I came here first!”

Leric ignored the commotion and just sat down on a chair with a smile on his face.

It didn’t even take a long time for the Awakening Pellets to be sold, earning him a million gold coins in just a blink of an eye! He couldn’t believe that earning money was actually this easy for Alchemists, but he then thought that it made so much sense. However, Leric didn’t know that most Alchemists struggle to even refine a single pill in one refining session. Only someone like him could refine three or more pills in just one session. His success rate in refining pills was a hundred percent, something that was unheard of in the history of Alchemy!

“Sir Aethelwolf, I’ve already gotten what I came here for so I won’t stay any longer. See you again soon!” Prince Calvin bid him farewell after his purchase.

There were also a few more acquaintances who came to buy his items and they all left after making their purchases. They were busy people and they only came to the clinic to show their support for Leric.

Leric didn’t see anyone from the Reynolds Household, but he wasn’t worried that they wouldn’t come.

“Samira, your family came late and all our Awakening Pellets are already sold.” Leric chuckled as he stared at Samira.

She pouted when she heard this, but there was nothing she could do. She had already spoken to them that they should be here to buy his products, but it looks like they were delayed by some matters.

“It’s fine. Anyway, I can just buy them from you if we really need your pills.” Samira stared at him cunningly. Her words made Leric speechless and he could only stare at her in silence.

Leric turned his gaze away from her and acted as if he didn’t hear anything she said. ‘This girl is becoming bolder the more I interact with her...’

Meanwhile, the frenzy of the customers didn’t die down and Leric’s temporary workers became busy throughout the whole day.

Suddenly, Aaron Zachary came downstairs. His appearance garnered everyone’s attention. They had all heard his joyful laughter earlier and they wanted to see if he has truly become an Esper.

It was actually easy to know if anyone was an Esper. One option is to make the world essence around them produce light. Even newly awakened Espers wouldn’t find it hard to do this.

“Sir Aaron, have you truly become an Esper?” Someone from the crowd could not help but ask.

Everyone focused their gazes on Aaron.

“That’s right.” The young man nodded his head with a wide smile on his face. He then interacted with the world essence around him and made them produce a blinking white light.

Seeing this, everyone’s doubts about the Awakening Pellet vanished. They soon regretted not taking action earlier on.

“Holy crap! It’s true! Only Espers can do that!”

“To think that I actually missed out on a miraculous pill...”

Upon hearing the crowd’s words, Leric suddenly said. “Don’t worry, everyone. We will display ten Awakening Pellets every day and there might be more in the future. The refining process of this pill is very difficult so we can only produce ten every day at most.”

Hearing this, everyone’s eyes lit up with hope. As long as the pill was available, they would have a chance to purchase it!

When Samira, Skylar, and Kathlyn heard his words, they could not help but grin at Leric. The guy refined thirty pills in just a few hours and if not for the limited ingredients, he would have been able to refine more. It was obvious that he was doing this strategy to make the public think that the Awakening Pellet is precious and rare.
