Chapter 588: A Whiff of Truth
Adam took a sharp breath of the shop’s clean air before he tapped on the two bronze stars on his chest.
"I understand your doubts, senior sister, but you have nothing to fear. I’m an official alchemist and wouldn’t risk my rank and shop license with failed or dangerous products."
The girl scratched her forehead, clearly unconvinced, and he understood her even if it stung his ego slightly. Afraid she’d leave without buying anything, he moved and gestured to the third case.
"Perhaps this one will fit your tastes better. I made it with silver lotus roots rich in starch and vitamins." He saw the girl’s eyes brighten before he continued. "It won’t cleanse your organs, though. That’s why I didn’t recommend it first."
The girl nodded, grateful for the honesty before her lips twisted when she saw the price tag.
"I get you’re an official alchemist, but forty sect points are a bit..." She shook her head. Maybe he made a mistake with the pricing or just didn’t know. "No one will buy them at this price, sorry."
He watched her turn to leave, his lips twisting. Should he show his pills’ benefits more aggressively? He pondered as her footsteps echoed before he rolled his eyes.
’Why am I trying to sell them as if I were someone else?’
It felt so unlike him! Those sale techniques could go whistle for all he cared. He’d sell his product using his honesty and skills!
