Talent level increased by one, a transcendent Star Wizard

Xia Jian was stunned by what Herder said.

This medicine was only a first-generation formula, and its effects on him did not seem as exaggerated as Herder had described.

After all, he had been eating it for a month, but he hadn't broken through to the initial level of knight immediately. In fact, the barrier in his body was still as solid as a rock.

But Xia Jian soon realized the problem.

Herder's two apprentices have been by his side for ten years, but they have only reached the later stage of apprenticeship in the last two years. They are still far from being in a perfect state.

In less than two months, his attributes had already increased to an astonishing 9.3!

Let alone two knight apprentices, if forced to, Xia Jian would dare to go toe-to-toe with Hilder.

Although Xia Jian's cultivation progressed very quickly, it was unimaginable for others.

This is no longer just advanced cultivation talent; it is the combination of a super-revised cultivation method and elixirs that has made Xia Jian who he is today.

Therefore, when a new elixir appeared, Hilder and his apprentice were overjoyed and reacted differently from their previous aloof demeanor.

For Hilder and his team, even a "small" improvement was enough for them to pay a huge price.

After seeing what Hilder and the other two looked like, Natsume gave up the idea of ​​selling a second formula drug.

Profitable and huge profits are two different concepts. I can't imagine that if the second formula were to be invented, the lords of this place would probably all come to talk to him.

For Xia Jian, this was not the situation he wanted to see; keeping a low profile was his survival philosophy.

Furthermore, Xia Jian had already decided to only have Hilder sell to some acquaintances in order to minimize the impact, and it would be best to keep it this way until he left.

…………

Xia Jian arrived at the stone table in the middle of the basement and began the drug-making process in an orderly manner.

Although it looks simple, it requires mental concentration, and making a bottle of pills is more tiring than practicing the Knight's Law once.

"It's a pity that the owner of this manor didn't leave more money; otherwise, there would be no need to make any medicine."

Xia Jian twisted her sore neck, pursed her lips, and muttered softly.

However, after seeing the letter today, now that the manor's owners are all gone, I don't know who to turn to for repayment.

Even though he got it for free, he still felt a little awkward about it, since he wasn't someone who liked to get something for nothing.

It just goes to show how unpredictable life is; he managed to encounter something so absurd.

"Let's make medicine instead."

Without dwelling on the matter, Xia Jian rallied her spirits and continued making medicine in order to earn more money.

…………

The day passed quickly, and Xia Jian only stopped when the maid called for dinner near dusk.

Looking at the dozen or so bottles of pills in front of him, Xia Jian felt a great sense of accomplishment.

Who would have thought that when I transmigrated, I was dressed in tattered clothes, I would become a knight-errant who has mastered an exclusive formula in such a short time?

Unfortunately, this business is not going to last long; at least not in the short term.

After wrapping the medicine bottle in a cloth, Xia Jian went straight to Herder after finishing his meal.

As a knight, Herder's schedule was very regular, and the evening was the perfect time for a pleasant jog.

Upon meeting Natsume, Herder, who had previously been strict with his apprentices, suddenly changed his attitude towards him.

"Young Master Dudley, did you buy those kinds of pills?"

Held rubbed his hands together and walked up to Natsumi with a lewd smile.

Compared to her previous indifference, Herder is completely different now.

To be honest, Xia Jian still quite liked the unruly Hilder from before; his "I'm a knight, I'm awesome" attitude was quite appealing.

"I did buy the pills, but they are being sold privately by one of my classmates. There are no plans to release them to the market yet, so don't spread rumors."

Xia Jian made up a reason, and it didn't matter whether Herder believed it or not.

After all, guessing takes time, and by then he might have already run away. Who cares what others think? Catching him without cameras is not an easy task.

Hilder's eyes widened as she looked at the small cloth bag Xia Jian handed her: "So much?!"

He's been dealing with this all by himself for a long time...

"Two of these bottles are for you."

Seeing that Hilder had misunderstood, Xia Jian rolled his eyes and immediately interrupted Hilder's reverie: "You should know other knights, right? Sell the rest of the pills to them."

Upon hearing this, Herder felt a sudden emptiness in his heart, and even had the thought of possessing it all. His eyes turned ruthless in that instant.

However, Herder was a worldly person, so she quickly came to her senses.

There's a difference between being full at one meal and being full at every meal. Besides, with such a capable classmate, even if Dudley steals something, he probably won't get very far.

Xia Jian saw everything, but he wasn't actually that scared; he was just a little nervous.

After all, Hilder once said that a newly advanced novice knight only has the strength of five people, and Hilder has only gained a little over 11 points in attributes after so long of training.

Even with the high boost from battle aura, I should still be able to run a distance if I can't beat someone.

Don't forget, this is an affluent area, inhabited entirely by citizens who pay hefty income taxes. The city guards patrol the area more times a day than they would go out in two months during the summer.

He carefully put the cloth bag away, then hesitated before speaking, "I do know a few knights, but this price..."

Training a knight is very expensive. Even with the generous compensation offered by the employer, more resources are needed to make progress.

Older knights know their own financial situation and may have some savings, while younger knights are mostly penniless, with little left over from eating, drinking, having fun, and training.

If the price of the pills is too high, not only will few people buy them, but they will also attract unwanted attention!

"Just like a high-grade Body Tempering Pill will do."

After a moment's thought, Xia Jian decided to sell it at a lower price.

For him, enough money is enough; after all, you can never earn all the money in the world.

Herder, upon hearing this, began to have his own thoughts.

Although he didn't want Dudley to sell at a high price, he didn't say he'd sell it cheaply either. So, could I try to manipulate things a bit?

"Don't try to make a profit on both ends. I'll sell as many as I say!"

Xia Jian stared intently into Hilder's eyes, displaying the aura of a "young master".

Even though a knight's status is not low, as the saying goes, "He who eats another's food is bound to be grateful," and ultimately he is still inferior to his employer.

After staring at each other for a while, Hilder finally gave in and lowered his head to show his agreement with Natsumi's approach.

Seeing this, Xia Jian breathed a sigh of relief.

The problem is that Herder might be a hothead who goes against his employer, which would be troublesome. In that case, he might have no choice but to start his escape plan ahead of time.

Making money is secondary; not causing him trouble is the most important thing.
