65 Essence Gathering Pellet and Awakening Pellet 𝑓𝑟eℯ𝒘𝗲𝑏n𝑜𝚟𝙚𝒍.𝒄o𝐦
Samira stared at Leric who had apparently fallen asleep. She knew that he was very tired after a few sleepless nights. He had worked very hard for the opening day of his clinic.
While he was resting, Samira and the two maids stared at his face unblinkingly. It was rare to have this kind of opportunity so they cherished it.
Soon, they arrived at the mansion.
“Si- Aethelwolf, we have arrived.” Samira tapped his shoulder as she whispered in a gentle voice.
Leric’s eyes fluttered and he immediately sat up straight. He had actually fallen asleep! It was quite dangerous since there was a group of bandits monitoring their movements. Luckily, none of them took action. However, when he used his skill [Virtual Map], he noticed that the bandit he saw outside the battle arena was closely following behind them. It appears that the person was keen on observing their every action.
The group alighted from the carriage and entered the mansion.
Leric went to his room and the three ladies followed him. He didn’t have to worry about their safety since there were a lot of elite guards all over the mansion. ƒ𝐫𝒆𝐞w𝗲𝚋𝗻૦𝘷e𝙡.c𝑜𝙢
Leric didn’t say anything when he saw Samira and the other two entering his room. He’ll just treat them as spectators who wanted to observe his pill-refining.
He then retracted his gaze from them and took out a bunch of herbs and the Refined rank cauldron he got from Prince Calvin. It was a cauldron that surpassed the piece of junk that he took from his mom’s clinic.
.....
He is planning to display four types of pills for tomorrow’s opening day. The first two were the Recovery Pellet and the Vigor Pellet. Both pills were improved versions of the ones sold in the market and Leric was planning to sell them at a price that was only slightly higher than those pills!
Other than the two pills, the third pill is something that could speed up the process of gathering world essence. Upon consumption, one’s speed in refining world essence would increase by threefold! There was also a pill with similar effects in the market, but it could only increase the gathering of world essence by fifty percent. Whereas the one that Leric came up with could increase the process by three hundred percent! There was no point to compare the two pills at all since the difference in their efficiency was significant! Once this pill enters the market, everyone would surely do anything to get their hands on it! Leric named this pill, Essence Gathering Pellet.
Lastly, the final type of pill that he would display tomorrow is the most valuable among his creations. It is something that could help people awaken as Espers! Even the most ordinary person would become an Esper after consuming his pill!
It must be noted that not everyone was born with an active Hegel, the organ responsible for storing and gathering world essence, but Leric’s pill could stimulate an inactive Hegel! The only problem was that even after awakening as an Esper, their level wouldn’t increase without the help of resources. That means, they would still be held back by their inferior talent. Even so, this pill was still incredibly precious because it was something that didn’t exist in the market!
This time, Leric was planning to refine the fourth pill which he named ‘Awakening Pellet’. Among his creations, this was the most difficult to make and the ingredients were also a lot more expensive. Luckily, he still has the gold card he got from Samira. He was also able to get a discount when he bought the herbs because of his friendship with the Reynolds Household.
Leric’s expression suddenly became serious when he began sorting the herbs. These herbs are the ingredients needed to refine the Awakening Pellet. Each of them is sold in the market at a price that only rich people can afford.
The three ladies stood silently behind him. They stared at his actions with great attention, eager to learn more about Alchemy.
The three of them were not Alchemists, but Leric noticed that they could be trained to become one. If they constantly watch him refine pills, they might be able to successfully summon their Pill Fires! However, everything still has to depend on their abilities.
Meanwhile, Leric already started extracting the medicinal properties of the herbs. His face was extremely focused while doing this. His hands moved in a skilled manner, making the three ladies stare at him in admiration.
They couldn’t believe that even the process of refining pills could look so elegant and beautiful!
Time passed, and after about thirty minutes, the first batch of Awakening Pellets was finally born.
When Leric opened the cauldron, there are three pills sitting inside. In most cases, he would be able to refine three pills in one refining session, but the Awakening Pellet requires more energy so he was only able to form three pills.
Looking at the cyan pills, the three ladies could already tell that it was extremely valuable just based on the energy contained in them.
“A-Aethelwolf, what kind of pills are those?” Samira asked him curiously.
“Leric wiped off the sweat on his forehead before turning his head at her. He then replied with a mysterious smile on his face. “Have you guys heard of a pill that can turn an ordinary person into an Esper?”
Hearing his words, Samira and the two maids were dumbstruck. Could it be...
Looking at their stunned faces, Leric laughed in amusement. “One Awakening Pellet can turn a person into an Esper regardless of age or talent. What do you guys think about this pill?”
“This...” The ladies were at loss for words. It was a type of pill that could turn an ordinary person into an expert! If this pill was mass-produced, it was possible to create an army of Espers! However, when they recalled the herbs he used earlier, they could not help but feel that it was a pity. Those herbs were very expensive in the market and only a few of them are available every time.
“Among the four kinds of pills that my clinic will display tomorrow. The Awakening Pellet is the most valuable!” Leric muttered as he kept the three pills inside his storage space. With the ingredients he has, he could make about thirty pills! That was equivalent to the birth of thirty Level 1 Espers! However, Leric only planned to display ten Awakening Pellets for tomorrow’s opening day. He would sell them sparingly to make them more valuable and more expensive. He wasn’t afraid that someone would copy his pills since the techniques he used when refining them were something he learned with the help of the Status Screen. Perhaps they would be able to make a counterfeit product, but their efficiency would never be able to reach the standards of his pills!
