Pill Association (2)

Kai brought his mind back to the old man's question then answered quickly.

"I want to hear all the benefits of joining the Pill Association. I will make a decision after hearing these". Kai had thrown away all pretense since he had a feeling that the old man had already figured out that Kai was the alchemist in question.

"Ho?, straight to the point then...well I'll keep it simple. The benefits are that you will not have to pay taxes on any pills you sell within the city. You also get access to the association's ingredient stockpile and for the right price, you can even exchange for knowledge and pill formulas with the other members..."

Kai nodded his head, these were attractive, but there had to be a cost to all of this so he stayed quiet and let the old man continue speaking.
