Bab 426: Alchemist?

Both the old man and I were stunned silent for a good half a minute, until I finally spoke.

"So, uh… I take it I succeeded?"

"A… A Golden Pill… to think I would be able to see… something of this caliber… in my lifetime…"

"H-Huh? Hey, don't die on me now!"

"SHUT UP!" The man suddenly roared, getting back to his (stumped) feet. "WHO'S DYING, HUH? YOU TRYNA CURSE ME, BOY?!"

"E-Er, no… I just thought…"

"Ugh, never mind…" The old man growled grumpily and sat down on his bed beside where I was. "Boy… do you really not have any alchemic experience?"

"Why would I lie about that?"
