“Larry only got hurt because he was trying to save me,” Sloane continued, “so I still need to stop by every couple of days to give him meridian treatments. Can you talk to the head coach for me about the team?”

“Sure. I’ll go with you after class,” Lucas said after a brief moment of thought. “Once you’re done with the meridian, I’ll take you back to the training center.‘

Sloane didn’t refuse. She took something out of her bag. “These are the pills that’ll be going up for auction next month.”

Lucas picked up one of the boxes and opened it. Inside was a round, dark brown pill that gave off a strong medicinal aroma.

“This is a muscle restoration Pill,” Sloane said, lifting one of the boxes. “Regular medicine doesn’t do much for complex injuries, but if you pair it with this, recovery can be at least three times faster. I found a rare ingredient for it the last time I visited Septoherb.”

A flicker of excitement flashed through Lucas‘ eyes. He gripped the pill box tightly and asked in a low voice, “Sloane, that rare ingredient you mentioned–can it be cultivated?”

Sloane assumed he was interested in mass production. “Yes, it can. But it needs very specific conditions and an ideal environment. Even then, the medicinal potency might be a little weaker than the wild version.”

She went on, “Still, if cultivation is successful, it would definitely solve the scarcity problem and allow for large–scale production.”

Lucas shook his head, his expression serious. “I’m not planning to release these pills to the market.”

“Why not?” Sloane looked puzzled.

Lucas didn’t explain right away. Instead, he said, “I’ll buy all of these pills from you. We’ll stick to our original agreement on profit–sharing. I promise you won’t lose out.”

Even though she had no idea what Lucas was up to, Sloane agreed. “Alright. We’ll do it your way.”

Lucas gathered all the pill boxes. “A friend of mine is in urgent need of this exact formula. If we can cultivate the ingredient, it’d be a lifeline for them.”

Sloane’s eyes shifted as if something had just clicked in her mind, but she didn’t press further.

Smiling, she said, “I’ve got a unique cultivation method for medicinal herbs. If you need it, I’m sure we can work out a price.”

Lucas looked at her, pleasantly surprised. “Great. If I do, I’ll make sure you’re well compensated.”

Sloane stood and picked up her bag. “I trust you on that.”

Lucas stepped out from behind the desk as well. “Heading back to the training center? Let’s go together.”

“Sure.”
