Chapter 638: Beggars Cant Be Choosers (2/2)

However, they were relieved at the same time.

They had been too hot-headed and got carried by the flow, offering many drops of blood essence without thinking.

If they followed through with such a transaction, they might just become sick and lethargic for many days to come.

”This… Will you have enough Fasting Pills to sell to all of us, divine doctor?” A clansman asked what everyone wanted to know.

”I do!” Leon nodded.

But before the clansmen could feel relieved, Leon quickly added, ”However, I do not have time to refine Fasting Pills for everyone. I merely trading for some drops of blood essences.”

”But none of you need to worry. There is naturally an alternative solution to combat the food shortage in the clan, and everyone will not need to worry about starving,” Leon stated reassuringly.

At the same time, Leon could not help but feel surprised in his heart. The feedback he got from the Fasting Pills was much greater than he had anticipated. He smelt an excellent business opportunity.

He could visit every tribe plagued by food crisis or diseases, requiring either of his medical or alchemy skills; he could easily barter for many types of blood essences to speed up the practice of his Everlasting Blood Mantra.

Nevertheless, the first batch of Tier-1 Fasting Pills was quickly sold out, netting Leon an income of thirty drops of blood essence as they were stored in a clear glass bottle.

The clansmen were giving free treatments after their blood essence was extracted.

Shortly after, Leon began refining more Fasting Pills ranging from Tier-1 to Tier-3 while increasing the batches to produce more en masse.

That being said, Leon only ended up spending an hour of pill refinement and sold 200 Fasting Pills varying between Tier-1 and Tier-3.

”Alright, that is all for now, everyone. Those who missed out, do not fret, for there will be something even better later,” Leon reassured while stowing away the bottles containing 600 drops of various blood essences.

”Dammit, I did get a chance to receive a Fasting Pill.”

”Haiz, the same could be said for the rest of us. Those 200-odd people were too lucky to receive a Fasting Pill, especially those that received Tier-3 Fasting Pills.”

”Right. The divine doctor explained that Tier-3 Fasting Pills could satiate hunger up to three days or longer.”

The crowd felt disappointed.

However, that was it. Since the divine doctor said there would be something better, then chances are, there was going to be something better.

The divine doctor has helped their clan greatly. There was no need for the divine doctor to deceive them now.

Leon eventually departed the market square with Darlene before he casually asked her, ”Were you bored while waiting?”

”Not bored.” Darlene quickly shook her head.

On the contrary, she enjoyed watching Leon work earnestly and seriously. There was a certain charm to it.

Leon smiled and gave the obedient Darlene a peck on the cheek before continuing to fly back in the direction of Lilith's location.

”Leon, you're back! Have you already handed out Fasting Pills to the clansmen?” Lilith asked with surprise at the central palace.

”Un, only 200 Fasting Pills, though. And I don't intend to refine anymore for the time being. There's actually a better solution—one that requires less effort on my part,” Leon stated.

The Fasting Pills were never the solution.

He simply wanted to test how warmly received Fasting Pills would be if it were to enter the market.

There was already another solution in his mind when the food shortage problem was first mentioned to him.

”What better solution do you have?” Lilith asked with surprise.

”Have already forgotten? There's a lot of Three-Legged Golden Crows left back at the Western Frontier. With the Blue Luan's frigid nature preserving their bodies, the meat will last a long time before spoiling. If I just bring a few bodies over, the food shortage will naturally be solved.”

After Leon told Lilith of his solution, she looked at him with a difficult expression before asking him slowly, ”This… is the better solution you mentioned?”

Her eye could be seen twitching, evidently not fond of the solution Leon mentioned.

”I know you have some misgivings about eaten the meat from Three-Legged Golden Crows, but there shouldn't be any problems for the Desolate Crow Clansmen to consume them,” Leon stated before adding, ”Besides, are you really going to be picky in this situation?”

”I suppose you're right…” Lilith muttered helplessly for a moment before quietly sulking, ”Beggars can't be choosers, huh?”

”Don't worry, I believe a lucky chance is awaiting your clansmen after this. But before that, I need your help finding a suitable location to deploy the Teleportation Array, Lilith.”
