Chapter 20: Sectless and Masterless
The next morning, Li Lang headed straight for the Alchemist Guild first thing in the morning. It took him some time to reach the central district where it was located, but even in the morning, there was a large crowd.
Like his previous trip, Li Lang got into line and patiently waited his turn.
An hour passed by quickly and he was greeted by an elderly man with a kind smile.
“How may I help you today, young sir?”
“Um, I have these pills I would like to sell?”
“Oh, and where did you buy them?”
Li Lang placed the bamboo bottle on the counter. It was the same container he used for his sodas.
“I made them.”
The clerk paused for a brief moment before speedily taking out a pill from the bottle. He brought it up to eye level and carefully examined it.
“Who is your teacher?” the old man asked, somewhat sternly. “The quality is subpar, and just barely acceptable to be sold.”
Li Lang had expected this response, as his auto-analyzer had indicated the same. To be precise, the pill only had 74% effectiveness compared to the one he made using his lab equipment. It may be even lower when compared to what a proper alchemist could refine.
“Umm, I’m self-taught.”
