Divine Emperor of Death Chapter 263 Learning Sky Grade Alchemy

"That leaves it out of the question unless you have someone in your heart... So, to increase your strength, you must practice Body Tempering Cultivation from now on." Davis earnestly said after giving it some thought.

He then saw Natalya’s face change to a reluctant expression.

Davis knew what she was thinking, so he directly said "If you’re worried about your appearance, then you don’t need to fret. All you need to do is practice Body Tempering Cultivation diligently without making any mistakes. Other than that, you only have to maintain a solid foundation. Do it at correct intervals, and your appearance wouldn’t change one bit, in fact, it’ll only grow even more beautiful if you do it perfectly."

Davis advised from his cultivating experience.

Although he didn’t do it perfectly, he did cultivate his body with a solid foundation and circulated the manual at correct intervals.

The only side effect he experienced was quick growth, but he could tell that was because of his age. He didn’t hate this side effect since it was also to his advantage.

Maybe if he did it perfectly, he had a thought that he would still look like a kid right now, dropping at least half a feet in height.

He certainly didn’t want that appearance, so he could understand Natalya’s thoughts of wanting to look beautiful.

Imagine a hulking woman moving around with a manly aura... Which women who would want to look womanly want to look like that? Not Natalya and that much is certain.

Natalya turned hesitant on hearing his advice. She too wanted to strengthen herself but the pain involved in the process made her re-evaluate her choices.

It wasn’t like Natalya had never body cultivated before for she had already reached Mid-Level Copper Stage when she was 18 years old.

And right now, at 26, she was still at the same level.

The main reason was because of the pain involved in the process, plus at 18, she slightly noticed that her shape and muscles were growing strong and stiff.

From then, this matter demotivated her from Body Cultivating anymore and seeing that her family was well off when considered in a different sense, she chose to stop cultivating Body Tempering System.

As a woman, there was too much to consider when body cultivating and this was a bottleneck that most women weren’t able to break from in their hearts.

"Actually, forgot about your appearance." Davis suddenly said, causing her to come out of her reverie.

"If you stay like this, then you will never be able to protect yourself, much less your family."

Giving off an evil smirk, he added, "Maybe one day, the situation that had happened to you might occur to your little sister. At that time, you will just be like this, only being able to watch from the sides while not able to do nothing, just like a useless young lady born in a wealthy family!"

Davis’s tone increased a few notches, wanting her to realize her situation.

"I am not useless!" Natalya shouted back with a red face. She herself knew who she was but would never openly admit to it.

"Then prove that you’re not useless and produce some results in strengthening yourself... Otherwise, one might think that you’re nothing but a plaything..."

"You! Fine! I just have to prove myself by body cultivating, right? I’ll have you know that I will and can do it!" Shouting in a frenzy, Natalya stormed out of the room in rage.

Halfway through the hallway, her thoughts turned sad as she realized that he had called her a plaything.

’Is that what he thinks about me?’

At that moment, the affectionate thoughts she had for Davis disappeared and was replaced by resentment, fueled by a huge determination of wanting to prove herself that she was not useless as she seemed to be!

Davis smiled seeing that it had the effect he desired. What did he desire? Of course, it was provoking her into body cultivating.

’She just needed a push, that was all...’ Davis thought, not aware of the fact that he had just destroyed her feelings towards him.

However, he noticed her rude tone and boldness towards him now but wasn’t surprised when as he could realize that people will take a yard when you give an inch.

He shook his head and his thoughts quickly changed as he muttered to himself, "It’s time to learn Sky Grade Alchemy..."

....

One month passed.

During this time, Davis learned the basics of Low-Level Sky Grade Alchemy while Natalya tried to body cultivate which eventually ended in failure.

Natalya made a lot of mistakes with her cultivation and experienced tremendous pain as a result.

Even so, she didn’t give up even going far as to discard her useless pride to ask Davis for help.

Another month passed.

Davis completely learned Low-Level Sky Grade Alchemy and had his second try on concocting a Sky Grade Pill.

Actually, the first time he concocted a Low-Level Sky Grade Pill was when he was in the Grand Sea Continent, but now he doubted if it was truly a Low-Level Sky Grade Pill that he had concocted.

Since his knowledge had increased, if he were to grade that pill now, it would only be at Peak-Level Earth Grade Pill.

’Maybe it was ranked Sky Grade because of the rarity of resources...’ He mused and felt that it should be the case.

As for his second try, he was able to successfully concoct a pill with few difficulties.

Natalya had also kept up her Body Tempering Cultivation and reached Peak-Level Copper Stage.

Another two months passed.

Davis learned the basics of Mid-Level Sky Grade Alchemy in these two months.

He also guided Natalya with her Body Cultivating Session. Through this, she had reached the Low-Level Bronze Stage and before she could realize, her fascination and attraction towards him had also returned, giving her a headache from time to time.

Davis who was oblivious about her thoughts kept on learning alchemy.

...

Another two months passed, crossing about four months from the time he had started learning Sky Grade Alchemy.

This time, Natalya through her own efforts, managed to reach High-Level Bronze Stage.

Davis could see that she was getting the hang of it and was gradually learning to endure pain.

He was also surprised at the fact that she managed to break through to High-Level Energy Condensation Stage.

He thought maybe it was because she had remained at the Mid-Level Energy Condensation Stage for too long.

As for his alchemy growth, he had managed to completely learn Mid-Level Sky Grade Alchemy.

When he had his first try on concocting a Mid-Level Sky Grade Pill... Well, without any suspense, he failed.
