Chapter 2505: Chapter 2525: Since we’re here, we can’t come for nothing!

"You’ve been employed."

"Starting from today, this room will be your exclusive alchemy chamber, and the room behind it is your residence."

"This is the Kutuo Sea, not the outside world, so the medicinal pills we refine and sell won’t be that diverse. There are just a few necessities. With your current standard, you can be listed as a medium-grade resident alchemist in our pharmacy."

"Your daily task is to complete the specified amount of medicinal pills. Besides that, you have no other duties. If you refine extra pills, you can exchange them for corresponding rewards."

"Correspondingly, you will have the freedom to come and go in our pharmacy and to live here. Moreover, you will receive a handsome monthly payment, and when buying from the Wei Family’s businesses, you will also enjoy a 50% discount."

Lin Chen inquired, "A medium-grade resident alchemist, does that mean there is a higher grade?"

The old man replied, "The Jade Bone White Algae Pill, if you can refine this pill and ensure a pill success rate and quality above the middle grade, then you can be considered a high-grade resident alchemist. The treatment will be significantly improved, and your status will also be very prestigious."

Lin Chen blinked, "Do you have the pill prescription?"

The old man nodded, "Once you’ve refined a certain number of pills for the pharmacy, you will be able to see the pill prescription."

Lin Chen’s eyes lit up, "How many?"

The old man smiled, "Based on the number of pills you refine daily, it will take about three months. Although we’re cooperating, we also need to see your strength and sincerity."

Lin Chen agreed decisively, "Okay!"

The old man said, "I am Sang Daoqing, the general manager of the Wei Family Pharmacy. You can come to me with any issues. I look forward to the day when you become a high-grade resident alchemist."

The interview process was simpler than Lin Chen had expected. The conditions offered by the Wei Family Pharmacy might not be lavish, but there were no clauses restricting Lin Chen’s freedom, a true model of cooperation.

Lin Chen was initially quite surprised, but he soon came to terms with it.

This is the Kutuo Sea, not the outside world.

Even though I am an alchemist, it’s hard to cook without rice. Even if I want to refine pills to make money, I need to have enough materials. Moreover, since the businesses here have a monopoly, even if I had materials and could refine pills, would I dare to compete with them for business?

If I want to avoid the suffering caused by the Spiritual Energy Tides, my only choice is to cooperate with the Wei Family and refine pills for their pharmacy—I simply have no second option!

The standard I’ve shown is certainly good enough to be considered for recruitment, but I’m definitely not an expert, so it’s natural for them not to care too much.

The White Bone Jade Algae Pill!

Lin Chen had never heard of this medicinal pill before, and curiosity about it had already taken hold of him. If possible, he would definitely learn to make it.

I’m here now; I can’t leave empty-handed.

Just like that, Lin Chen smoothly settled in. He was just preparing to lie down to rest when someone came and delivered to Lin Chen a token representing his status, which allowed him free access to the Wei Family Shop and other properties of the Wei Family.

Besides the token, there were the materials for the first day’s medicines and the requirements for refining the medicinal pills.

Lin Chen checked them and found more than enough materials, clearly accounting for some loss.

With Lin Chen’s abilities, both the pill success rate and the quality of the pills would be much higher. Completing the task would be quite simple, and Lin Chen was confident he could refine quite a few extra.

If I can exchange the extra for rewards, what happens if I don’t? Can I keep them for myself?

However, these medicines aren’t really that precious or outrageously expensive. Outside of the Kutuo Sea, they wouldn’t be too costly, but in this place of exile, even the cheapest items can sell for a high price.

Lin Chen, having nothing else to do, began to refine,working until the overcast weather brightened. It was only then that he stopped.

The one hour when the Spiritual Energy Tides stopped for the day had arrived.

Lin Chen took his token, left the room, and stepped out of the Wei Family Pharmacy, ready to take a stroll around the island.

As the Spiritual Energy Tides approached, the entire Heaven and Earth seemed enshrouded in mist. With the attack of the Spiritual Energy Tides, the whole world was foggy and indistinct.

Now that everything had dissipated, though there was no strong sunshine, the sky was bright, the sea surface calm, and even the wind seemed to become gentle. This contrast was like the difference between hell and heaven.

When Lin Chen arrived, it was misty, and aside from the lamplight in many buildings, no one could be seen outside. But when Lin Chen came out, the place was bustling with noise and excitement.

Lin Chen blinked, wondering where all these people had come from.

Were they hiding underground?

Lin Chen stood at the entrance of the pharmacy, questioning the guard, "When I arrived earlier, there was no one around. How did all these people suddenly appear?"

The guard, knowing Lin Chen was now an alchemist of the shop, spoke more politely. In the Wei Family Pharmacy, the most valuable were these alchemists. Guards like himself were the least valuable; in this place of exile, there was an abundance of them.

"They were hiding in pits in the ground before. Now that it’s daylight, they all came out..."
