Chapter 24 - Pills?
After giving himself two days of uninterrupted sleep as a reward for ending the major Law of Darkness, Robin came out of his room with a yawn, "haah~ It's been a while since I had such a good sleep"
"Good morning, big brother." Zara came with a smile and greeted him
"Good morning~ How is your work on drawing going?" Robin smiled
"It's not bad, what are you going to do today, big brother? Is there something I can help you with?"
"...I don't know, whenever I finish a long research I feel empty" Robin started scratching his head
"..." Zara stood to the side waiting for orders, although Robin told her to call him Big Brother, she hadn't forgotten her standing yet.
"Never mind~ I'll go to the market for a walk, you can go back to your drawing," Robin said "Peon, bring all the money we have and come with me, we'll go shopping!"
......
Robin's first destination was that restaurant which he visited for the first time, involuntarily coming here from one of his followers became a festive habit after every good achievement
While he and Peon were engrossed in eating, he heard, "The spirit Revitalizing Pill is really awesome, it gives me an hour to two extra hours of work per day!"
"Haha, didn't I tell you? It is said that whoever wants to shine in his field must stay up all night, and that's what the pill does... literally! it clears your mind for two hours after you take it, even if you are about to fall asleep, it will turn you sober" The other guy laughed
"But frankly, I thought that its effect would be better given its price."
"Absolutely not! 20 gold to buy 2 hours of production isn't bad at all! you can make much more than that if you have something important to finish"
Robin, who was sitting busy with his food, was attracted by the conversation and listened to you with deep interest.. With one look he knew that the two talking guys were about the second or third level, they could be considered mortals, but since they ate in this expensive restaurant and talked about gold coins in this way, they are certainly not that simple
They are certainly from a large family, but they have no talent in cultivation, so they turned to politics or some kind of arts.
But this is not what captured Rubin, but rather the talk about that spirit revitalization pill... and its high price! Twenty coins are roughly equal to his monthly allowance as a young generation in the Burton family!
"Come on, I've found my next goal." Robin wiped his hand and said to Peon, who stuffed the rest of the food into his mouth and followed him.
On the streets, he asked about the largest pill shop in the city and went there directly.
"Welcome, is there a specific intention I can help you with?" One of the girls standing by the entrance said respectfully
" I want to know more about the Soul Revitalizing Pill, I heard from a friend that it is very good," Robin replied with a smile
"An excellent choice, the spirit revitalizing pill is made with a blend of natural herbs and its main ingredient is ginseng leaves, aged from 20~30 years, the ingredients are completely natural and do not negatively affect the cultivation or mental health in the future." The girl said calmly, that was general information that anyone interested could know.
Robin cursed in secret 'Of course it won't do any harm then, it's just some crushed plants, what's the difference between swallowing a pill and drinking tea?!'
"Ahem... then what about its effect across energy levels?" Ask Robin more
"The pill is particularly effective up to the third level, it can give its take a few more hours of resistance to sleep without fatigue, and it is ideal for politicians and young men who want to increase their training hours to increase their level quickly.
as for those from the fourth to sixth levels they are already able to resist sleeping for two or three days without a problem, so the pill wouldn't benefit them as much, But it will provide them with some clarity of mind as well, and this helps a lot when trying to break through to a higher level, and its price is just twenty gold coins for one."
"Hmm lovely, well, I'll buy ten of them," said Robin, the girl was so instantly excited and jumped to fetch him a bottle of ten 'looks like he's not a poor kid came to talk with beauties'
"Are there other pills worth mentioning here?" Robin asked
"Of course, sir! There are pills to increase a person's body affinity for one of the Five Paths of Natural Elements, pills are completely naturally formed, like a fire pill made of herbs that are dominated by the fiery attribute that can be found in the edges of volcanoes, and so on~
But the problem with these pills is that they are a bit expensive, two hundred gold coins per pill, and the extent of what they offer to its consumer decreases as it's level increases until it is almost useless at the eleventh level."
"Two hundred gold coins to increase the affinity by a bit?!" Robin yelled, the pill could be said to be more useless than the previous one. Would you, for example, eat water-bearing herbs, then you would be able to discover the laws in it? No! You'll still need the technique your ancestors left to practice! At the most, this kind of pill can speed up the comprehension of the Law Technique by a few days.
Robin quickly regained his composure, "Um, what's next?"
"Of course, we cannot forget the healing pills, according to the degree of purity and components of each pill, its effect and its price will vary, for example, the lowest one is 100 gold coins, it increases the natural healing speed by 20% for 5 days, As for the most expensive one we have at the moment, it is two thousand coins, it can increase the speed of recovery by 60% for 10 days!" She said to a girl proudly
But she did not notice the expressions of Robin, who stood stunned .. 'So technically, two thousand coins are paid so that the person heals himself within about 6 days instead of 10 days? These pills... are useless in critical situations! Maybe completely useless! If I have a few days to heal, why don't I just wait a few more days? Why would I waste my money on pills at these prices?'
"Is there any other?" Robin completely lost hope in this industry.
" There are many types of pills, my lord, I just mentioned a few that someone of your age and strength might like... there is also the compressed energy pill but it's a little too expensive, it can give its consumer instantly an amount of energy equivalent to a week of continuous training! the amount decreases in the higher level till it completely disappears at the 12th level. but it's still excellent help for those who are about to breakthrough"
'another useless pill.. the idea is good but whoever can buy the *little too expensive pill* is definitely above the 12th level.
Only now did Robin understand why he hadn't seen many pills in the Burton family or even the Bradley institution.
"Okay, thank you for your time, that's your account." Robin threw a bag of 200 coins at the girl, then left absent-minded, trying to digest all those information and how to use them... he wanted to get home as soon as possible!
The only thing that caught his attention on the way back was a shop selling carcasses and hides of beasts.. Robin pointed at the red-horned rabbits hanging at the entrance, "Bring me ten red rabbits, pick them fat."
