A silver token only allowed him to meet the Adler Graylock after a year? Isn’t this basically scamming?
Of course, he knew that there was the gold token above the silver but in no way would so many people have bought that right?
When he worded his doubts, the receptionist lady replied, "Mister, the Appointment Token works on a first-come, first-serve basis and depends on the color of the token. Hence, even if there’s plenty of people who used silver token and bronze token to form an appointment beforehand if a person with a gold token walks over, then all the other people would have to let that person first as per the rules of the Everlasting Apothecary Sect."
"If a second person with a gold token forms an appointment, then that person would have to wait until the person who came with the first token had his appointment or case finished."
"Of course, if the apothecary wants to personally see you, then the tokens don’t matter at all!"
’Such a privilege is given to the Apothecaries? It likely gives even more benefits, hence it still hasn’t fallen after who knows how long...’ Davis silently mused before he cursed in his head.
Numerous people battle every day and get injured lightly or critically but for healing the injuries completely, who would they consult? It was the apothecaries!
"Like this, there are a few people with golden token who wants to see Esteemed Apothecary Adler Graylock in this month after which the apothecary had notified that he would be traveling to another city for tempering outside half a year or so before returning which he would then deal with the newly accumulated golden tokens, followed by silver tokens and bronze tokens."
’So that’s why it will be a year before I can meet him...’ Davis finally understood this capitalistic and profitable system.
’Should I buy the golden token? But even then it would cost me a month to invite the apothecary...’
’Perhaps, I should try influencing Adler Graylock to personally welcome me? Nah, that would attract too much attention. Let’s just make him normally welcome me, as if he had taken interest in my appointment over for some reason.’
Davis thought on this and decided to do it once Apothecary Adler Graylock walks into his range of Karma Threads which could actually extend to 60 meters now.
When he first unlocked the power of Karma Threads, it could extend up to 50 meters but now, it only increased by 10 meters.
Davis pondered over this and really thought that this denotes that his comprehension over Karma Laws has slightly increased, and not the manifestation of the increase in his Soul Forging Cultivation.
If it were really the manifestation over the increase in his soul force, then he would really have to say that the increase in range was slightly disappointing.
"Haha! Davis, you’re here!"
Agis Stirlander blinked, not knowing what to do. Other than his teacher, he knew none of the others personally in the Everlasting Apothecary Sect. Who was he supposed to recommend when only a certain few are skilled in treating privates, like his teacher?
He had a single chance to meet his teacher but that was only for him. He wouldn’t be able to recommend a patient...
Davis pondered for a moment before he asked, "Aren’t you a disciple of Apothecary Adler Graylock? Why don’t you help me treat that friend of mine?"
"Aiya, how can it be?" Agis Stirlander ruefully shook his head, "Although I am indeed well versed in treating privates as I’ve inherited a small amount of knowledge from my teacher, it isn’t enough to treat a person who is at the Sky Grade; Above Fourth Stage."
"The body of a cultivator has many intricacies and has minute yet billions of changes with every breakthrough in stages and levels. How can it be possible for me to treat you... Ah, I mean that friend of yours..."
Davis became exasperated when he heard the other party mention him.
"Did I say the treatment was for me? That person who is in need of help is at the Body Transformation Stage, well inside your area of expertise..."
Agis Stirlander became taken aback before asking, "The appointment is not for you?"
Davis almost had the urge to facepalm.
How many times does he have to say that the treatment is not for him!?
He calmed himself down and repeated, "The treatment is not for me but my friend."
Agis Stirlander froze before he awkwardly laughed and let out a dry cough, "In that case, I’ve gravely misunderstood which is fatal in the profession of Apothecary. As an apology, I’ll treat that friend of yours for free."
"No need, I’ll pay." Davis shook his head
"I insist." Agis Stirlander strongly replied.
Their exchange lasted for over a few times as if they were in a loop before Davis reluctantly agreed.
"... Alright."
He then gave the silver appointment token back to Agis Stirlander and headed back to his residence together.
