"Yes, choose some ingredients that are over there, and naturally don’t forget that you have to pay for it." Elder Theren uttered as he pointed in a direction.
Davis nodded and picked some ingredients that were placed at a corner and returned to stand in front of the cauldron. They were all of Sky Grade and cost more than a thousand spirit stones.
Naturally, to make this Mid-Level Sky Grade Pill, he had to give his all since he could only make a crude-tier with his Soul Force.
Without holding back, he completely revealed his Soul Forging Cultivation and started the process of concocting the pill.
When the others felt his soul force, they were stunned before gradually shaking their heads.
"High-Level Adult Soul Stage, although good but not enough to concoct Mid-Level Sky Grade Pills..." Elder Garner shook his head.
"I remember this person take the Peak-Level Earth Grade Alchemy Exam just a year ago. He must be here to try his hands on the exam and his goal must be to test himself." Elder Theren uttered as he analyzed. He was an impartial individual, even to his own students. He treated everyone equally and judged them through his eyes.
If Davis’s soul wasn’t 3 times stronger, then his analysis would be on point.
As the two of them shared their opinions, Elder Seylas had his eyes narrowed.
Although he could clearly tell that this soul force was only of High-Level Adult Soul Stage, he could feel that its intensity was a few notches stronger as well.
With his cultivation at the Low-Level Mature Soul Stage, he could clearly see the difference between an ordinary High-Level Adult Soul Stage Cultivator and the High-Level Adult Soul Stage Cultivator in front of him.
Just at that time, Tina Roxley arrived beside the place where Elder Seylas sat and sent a soul transmission to him.
Elder Seylas’s face turned serious as he sent back a soul transmission, "What!? You want me to see through his guise!?"
"Mhm, do this and I’ll ask my teacher to give Elder Seylas a pill capable of aiding one to break through to the Gold Stage without much pain, a rare High-Level Sky Grade Pill."
Elder Seylas’s eyes flashed! That was a pill that he was bent on concocting but couldn’t due to his inability even though he could make those kinds of pills.
If he could break through to the Gold Stage, then his fires of life will rekindle, restoring his looks to be once again of middle-aged.
Elder Seylas was at Mid-Level Law Manifestation Stage, making his life-span reach up to 3,000 years.
He had started to become old when he was around 1,500 years old and right now, he was around 1,800 years old.
If he could somehow break through to Gold Stage, then that will enable him to look like a middle-aged man naturally until he was 2,500 years old.
After all, Gold Stage not only granted a lifespan of 1,000 years but it also gave immense vitality to the cultivator.
In the case of a mortal, let’s say that a person gets to live till 100 years. That person gets to live the remaining 50% of their lives as an old aged figure.
This also applies to the world of cultivators! When they reach the starting point of their remaining 50% of their lifespan, they will gradually turn old unless of course if they trained in a body cultivation system that is capable of igniting the fires of life in their lifespan.
But even so, Elder Seylas’s morals and values were getting in the way, so he hesitantly asked, "Are you sure? Inspecting a person’s identity when they are masked can be considered incredibly rude. This could even end up as a battlefield..."
"Don’t worry, since his Soul Cultivation is only of High-Level Adult Soul Stage, you can probe his identity even without alerting him. After all, aren’t you a Low-Level Mature Soul Stage Cultivator..."
"This..." Elder Seylas was still hesitant. He and the other elders treated this lass as their own daughter and it was difficult for him to turn down her request.
"You still owe me one... I’ll consider it over if Elder Seylas can do this for me." Tina suddenly said, causing his heart to waver.
"Alright, I’ll do it!" Elder Seylas decisively nodded but asked a moment later, "Why do you want to know his identity? And why do you want me to keep it a secret? Did he offend you by any chance?"
"It’s not anything like that. I am just curious..."
Tina’s brows furrowed but she still answered as she was familiar with this elder and even the other elders mainly because she frequently paid respects to her master.
But if one were to pry open her thoughts, one could see how deep her gaze was when glancing at Davis.
Elder Seylas shook his head, not believing her reason but he still decided to do what he had been told.
Waiting for the opportunity, he glanced at Davis.
Soon, when Davis was focused on the extraction of the essence from the melted ingredients, Elder Seylas finally took action.
A minute strand of Soul Sense instantly traveled and probed Davis’s mask. Instantly, he was frozen stiff!
Davis didn’t notice a single thing and gradually formed a batch of pills. He had beads of sweat forming on his forehead which told him that he was purely involved in the process of concocting the pills.
As he heated the flames and controlled the intensity of the soul fire, he was able to melt the ingredients and collect the essence above the cauldron with his soul force.
The final process gave him a headache but he was still able to pull through it with ease.
He had no idea that he had been probed because the difference in their soul force was not at all small to be detected, they could not be even compared.
Davis with his High-Level Adult Soul Stage Cultivation, could only contend with Low-Level Elder Soul Stage Cultivators and elude the senses of Mid-Level Elder Soul Stage Cultivators.
High-Level Elder Soul Stage Cultivator’s senses alone were enough for him to not notice, much less the senses of Elder Seylas, who was at the Low-Level Mature Soul Stage; the Sixth Stage in Soul Forging Cultivation.
"How is this possible!?" Elder Seylas came back to his senses and shouted inadvertently, his voice echoing throughout the hall.
