Chapter 31：Selling Pills At A Loss (2/2)

”Wow. Does that mean almost 600 outer sect disciple had yet to succeed in making a pill?”

He left and went to the sect market. He arrived there in less than 5 minutes. He got in a line and waited for his turn at one of the sect stalls.

He walked up and put out all the remaining 7 pills to sell them.

”I wish to sell these, elder.” He said to the elder working in the stall.

This was the same bald elder with wrinkles and streaks of white on his hair and beard. The elder took the pill bottles and checked the pills inside.

Once he confirmed they were indeed mortal-grade pills, he took out a pill tester and tested them.

12%,12%,12%,14%,15%,15%, and 16%.

The elder calculated and said, ”you can sell these for 226 points.”

”226? But elder I bought 7 sets of ingredients for 420 points, so why are the pills selling for half the price of the ingredients?” he was confused.

”Secondly, if we don't sell the pills for fewer points, a skilled disciple could use just 60 points to buy a set of ingredients, sell the pill for 60 points, then buy another set, and sell another pill, and on and on. This way the sect will soon go into a points crisis.”

”This way, the sect can run properly, without having to worry about the same 60 points clearing the entire sect garden.”

”So, do you want the points or not?” the elder asked.

Alex sighed, and said, ”Yes I do, elder.” He handed the elder his nameplate.

”You want to buy anything?” the elder asked.

Alex wanted to, but he had his own idea about what he needed to do.

”No, thank you.” He rejected the offer.

The elder handed him his nameplate back with the 226 points. Alex walked out of the market and walked along the night streets.

He didn't need to become an aid anymore, as he could make pills himself. What he needed now was contribution points to buy the alchemy ingredients. And from his experience, the best way to earn contribution points was by selling monster corpses, cores, and materials.

So, the first thing on his agenda was to go out and kill some monsters. And, to kill monsters easily and successfully, he needed to learn some battle techniques.
