Chapter 18: Pill Furnace
Just like how Li Lang planned, his little outing to gather materials had ended successfully without incident. The talisman he had bought at a high price proved to be worth it, as no Qi beast had neared him or his party throughout his time in the forest.
He led the group of kids back into the city before the effect wore off and had them carry all their gains back to his inn.
“Thanks, everyone. Here’s your pay for the day. Remember to come back tomorrow on time for the sodas.”
“Yes!” they shouted as they excitedly counted their earnings for the day.
Having been dismissed, they began to disband. However, before the last of them could leave, Li Lang suddenly thought of something and called out.
“You! Stay with me for a bit. I have another job for you.”
“Umm, S-sure thing B-boss,” Wei Ping replied.
“You wait here for a second while I put the herbs away.”
“U-understood.”
After stowing his harvest, Li Lang then brought his helper with him onto the commercial streets of Xiang Yang. He brought him along to help him carry the things he would be purchasing.
Having gathered the herbs, the next step of Li Lang’s plan was naturally to begin crafting the pills. He had spent so much time doing trial and error to figure out how to do it in the lab, and it was time for his efforts to bear fruit.
However, while he was successful at crafting the pill inside Ruby’s artifact space, it was a different matter when done in the real world. Outside the artifact space, he didn’t have access to any of the technological devices that could precisely control and measure units and temperature.
