9 Your Teacher is a Quack! (1/2)

At the end of the day, although Leon did not manage to find a mortal-grade pill cauldron, he did managed to secure a business deal and the written contract was signed shortly after. He did not have to concern himself with money and resources in the short term. At least, if he abides by the contract and continue to supply the Cromwell family with Awakening Pills on his end.

There are some worries about whether the herbs he is looking for would be available or not. He is after all, in a different world and the herbs maybe not be entirely the same or exist on this planet. As long as he can find them, he would be able to grow them in his world space and promote them to spirit herbs.

”Old man, do you have the Awakening Pill recipe?” Leon asked.

”Yes. Sebastian, please fetch my pill recipes from the pill room.” Dwight ordered a servant of his, whom been standing guard outside the tearoom.

”Right away, my lord.” Sebastian answered.

The was no reason for Dwight to not own a copy of the Awakening Pill recipe. It was the pill he had been trying to concoct all these years.

He had apprenticed himself to an alchemist when he was young. The alchemist had given him the recipe for him to study and to practice with.

”Come back when you successfully concoct the pill.” Was what his teacher had said to him. It was the final test for him before he graduates from his apprenticeship and become a full-fledged alchemist.

Dwight had practice concocting the pill, one failure after another with no sign of success in sight. It was a huge blow to him, whom had been bright and intelligent and with great expectations from his teacher.

Too ashamed and stubborn to seek his teacher's advice after his repeated failures, he continued to practice concocting the pill with an obsession.

Dwight had been able to concoct a few types of different pills under his teacher's supervision, but he was unsuccessful when left on his own.

It only took a few moments for the servant, Sebastian to return with a stack of recipes and handed it over to Dwight.

Dwight had a quick look through the recipes before pulling one out and passed it over to Leon with a nonchalant expression.

The reason for such a rule was to prevent all the ambitious people from hoarding the resources to practice the recipe and attempting to raise their own qualified alchemists. Although the herbs required to concoct the Awakening Pills is not rare, it is not that common either.

It would be very wasteful to squander it thoughtlessly. The prices would rise as the resource become less and it would be detrimental to the alchemists, which is already a costly profession if it was to happen.

Although Leon had not entered their circle yet, the old man had acknowledged him as a qualified alchemist. There was no problem in allowing Leon to peruse the recipe.

When Leon read the recipe for the Awakening Pills, his eyes widen in disbelief and looked at the old man in awe.

'How can anyone concoct a pill with such a trashy recipe? These medicinal herbs are already clashing, giving it a 10% chance of success, if he was to concoct it. If you follow the instructions to the teeth, then it would become impossible to concoct the pill. How can this old man be so intelligent yet so stupid at the same time?' Leon thought.

Whatever the case was, he was really in awe of the old man's dedication despite following a dead recipe.

The old man was unable to understand Leon's thought this time and after being stared at by Leon in such a weird way for a long time had started to make the old man uncomfortable.

”What's wrong with you? Why are you staring at me like that?” The old man asked uncomfortably.

'Perhaps, he wasn't interested in my granddaughter because he was into men?' Dwight thought as a chill ran up his spine. He subconsciously took a step back.

The old man's weird actions snapped Leon out of his thoughts. Leon was able to understand the old man's thoughts and was quickly enraged.

”Do you think I would be into you!? You, old bag of bones! Just for your information, I am straight!” Leon roared.

”Che! I didn't say anything! You are the one who said it! Who are you calling an old bag of bones!?” Dwight roared back.
