The Herb King

Three days later, Henry who was responsible for the construction of Leric's clinic came to the Reynolds Household to tell them that they had already gathered the materials and his company was now prepared to start the construction.

Leric was elated upon hearing this news. He even shared some words with Henry before the latter went back to the construction site to oversee the situation.

According to the man, Leric's clinic would be completed in just a week! This was beyond his expectations since he was used to the slow process of construction in his past life. Some buildings might even take a few months or even a year to be built, but Henry told him with great confidence that his clinic would be done in just one week!

Leric didn't doubt his words at all. In his past life, people had to use machines and manual labor when constructing something. However, in this world, people could casually do things by simply controlling world essence, making life a lot easier and more comfortable. The only flaw of this world was its lacking power in technology. If the power of technology and the magic of this world are added together, how frightening would the world be?

"Sir Aethelwolf, we have new visitors! This time, you know who they are!" Lord Harold grinned as he came back to the mansion with a group of people.

There were four people standing behind Lord Harold and all of them were acquaintances whom he met in Vale City.

The owner of the herb shop, Johann, and his granddaughter, Anna. Other than them, the pot-bellied weapon shop manager, Chris, and the owner, Sir Enrique Maynard, were also there.

Looking at them, Leric smiled. "It's good to see you guys again!"

"Hello, Sir Aethelwolf!" The four respectfully greeted him. This man was a Level 4 Alchemist so they didn't dare to be rude.

"How's your body, Sir Johann?" Leric asked the old man.

"I've now recovered my full strength thanks to Sir Aethelwolf." Johann grinned from ear to ear, showing the wrinkles on his face.

After hearing that, Leric nodded his head and turned his gaze to Enrique Maynard. "How about your, Sir Maynard?"

Enrique flexed his muscles as he chuckled. "I'm now back to my peak state, Sir Aethelwolf!"

"I'm happy that the two of you have recovered. Lord Harold, would you mind if I take them to the guest hall?"

"Not at all! I'll call father and let him join you guys later. He will surely be happy if he sees you guys." Lord Harold jogged to Lord Julius' room, eager to tell him about the arrival of the visitors.

Seeing the excited Lord Harold walking so hastily, Leric could not help but chuckle. He then brought the visitors to the guest hall.

The maids were already prepared and they immediately brought over some refreshments.

"Sir Aethelwolf, if I may be so blunt, what are you planning to do here in Dominion District?" Anna asked while looking at Leric's handsome face. The other three also stared at Leric curiously, waiting for his answer.

Leric smiled at her and replied. "I made a deal with the Reynolds Household and they are now building a clinic for me. It should be done in a week. I hope you guys will come and support my business. I plan to display some rare pills at the opening of the clinic. Perhaps you might fancy a pill or two." How could he forget to promote his clinic to these people? They were elites of the Leone Empire and their social network was nothing to scoff about.

Hearing this, they immediately nodded their heads.

"Of course! How could I miss the opening day of Sir Aethelwolf's clinic?"

"This old man has some free time so I'll be there, Sir Aethelwolf."

"Sir Aethelwolf, are you also planning to display some beauty pills at the opening of your clinic?" Anna asked with a red face. As a young woman, there was nothing more important than maintaining a youthful face and radiant glowing skin.

Beauty pills were only 2nd-Grade pills, but the creation process was closely kept by Alchemists. In fact, only a few handfuls of Alchemists knew how to refine such pills, making the value of beauty pills skyrocket.

Leric stared at her with a contemplating look. This world didn't have cosmetic products, making the sparse beauty pills in the market even rarer and more expensive. It might be a great idea to venture into this business since he knows how to create cosmetic products using herbs. Not to mention that the creation process wasn't even that difficult. Leric could already smell the great opportunity in this business.

"Now that you mentioned it, I actually know how to make beauty products. To be specific, I have a special item called soap that could make one's skin look more glowing and smooth. You will also have a fragrant scent after using it. Other than that, I also know a few more beauty products." Leric casually said, but his words were like the chiming of bells in the ears of Anna.

"There's actually such a thing!?" A shocked voice came from behind them and the group unconsciously stared at Samira who had apparently come with his parents and grandfather.

Samira immediately grabbed a chair and placed it beside Leric. She then sat down and looked at him with anticipation. "Sir Aethelwolf, do you really know how to make this 'soap', and is it really as magical as you said?"

The eyes of Anna and Madam Antonette shone with expectation as they looked at Leric.

Seeing them act like this, Leric smiled and nodded his head. "Of course! In fact, I can promise that there will be a lot of soap to be displayed on the opening day of my clinic."

"Really? How much is it? One thousand gold coins? Ten thousand gold coins?"

Leric's face twitched when he saw the three ladies looking at him like hungry wolves. He then thought for a moment before deciding to give them his answer.

The value of 2nd Grade Pills is roughly about a thousand gold coins. Meanwhile, the price of beauty pills of similar levels are sold at varying prices, but the most expensive ones can go for ten thousand gold coins!

The ingredients to make one soap isn't difficult to find. The creation process is also a lot easier with the help of world essence. After calculating in his mind, the ingredients in making one soap would only cost him about one silver coin!

"Since you guys are so eager to know. I will tell you more about this. There will be three kinds of soap that my clinic will be selling. The first is the ordinary kind of soap which would be sold at the price of ten silver coins. The second type of soap is slightly special and the ingredients are also rarer and more expensive, making its price soar to ten gold coins. As for the third type of soap, its value is comparable to 2nd-Grade pills so its price would be five thousand gold coins." Leric said after doing his calculations.

The eyes of the three ladies lit up upon hearing his words.
