Divine Emperor of Death Chapter 273 Another Year Of Seclusion

One was Tina’s mother, who had grown tired of this deviant and decided to end her own life right after giving birth to her little sister, Rina Roxley.

The other was her elder sister who mysteriously died a few years after the death of their mother.

Although the death of the elder sister was deemed as a mystery, she knew who exactly was responsible for her death because, right after her elder sister died, she noticed her father look at her with a gaze filled with lust.

That was the exact moment her hatred grew, festering in her heart even till this date. Needless to say, she could guess what had happened to her elder sister.

As for her grandparents, there was her grandfather alive but he was too busy with cultivation to care about these matters.

She thought that even if her grandfather came out, he would do nothing to discipline his son as she heard that they were one and the same, like kindred spirits.

As for her relatives, why would they even care about her?

"This family is rotten to the core!" She clenched her teeth as she murdered that scum numerous times in her mind. This family had already fallen to disgrace by placing their hands on black!

She deeply wished that if thoughts could kill a person only a single time, then her target would undoubtedly be her own father.

Her expression gradually softened as she thought of the person she cared for the most in her life.

It was her little sister, Rina Roxley. She had asked her master, Grand Elder of the Thousand Pill Association, Brandis Mercer to take care of her safety.

That’s why Rina Roxley who is currently a receptionist, was quite naive and ignorant of the situation. This ignorance was also the reason why she had wanted to see her father despite the numerous warnings that Tina Roxley gave, after all, this matter was something the latter couldn’t reveal no matter what.

If that matter were to fall in Rina’s naive ears, Tina believed that her sister wouldn’t be her sister anymore. It was entirely possible that she would go berserk and attack that madman out of fury as her personality was straightforward.

Her master’s presence was also the main reason why her own father hadn’t made a move against her right now.

Towards her master, there was only endless gratitude and gratefulness as he treated her like his own daughter. In fact, she treated her master like he was her father and taken it to be so from a young age.

"I have to get stronger!" Tina took a resolution for the nth time and decided to head out to train.

After the encounter with her disgusting father, her mind no longer cared about Mister Scythe’s significance in her life.

...

Gradually a year passed.

Davis’s alias became quite known to the upper echelon as it spread throughout the capital. All-day long, he involved himself in concocting Low-Level Sky Grade and Mid-Grade Sky Grade Pills.

People even came to his residence to request because Davis sold the pills for way less than the market price.

Of course, the requestors had to cough up the ingredients, otherwise, he straight away told them that they should scram.

His ironclad rule didn’t drive people away but brought more in as they believed that Davis wouldn’t cheat them as he had built up his reputation for quite a while.

During the third month, even the people from the Royal Xuan Family came to invite him while seeing that he was an unaffiliated alchemist.

Needless to say, Davis rejected not only the Royal Xuan Family but every power that came knocking on his door. Surprisingly, the Royal Xuan Family no longer came to bother him again but he knew that if he were to ask for a favor from them, they would undoubtedly make things difficult for him.

In half a year, he broke through to the Peak-Level Adult Soul Stage and was able to concoct Normal-Tier Mid-Level Sky Grade Pills.

As for why he didn’t break through sooner using Elder Severin’s Soul Essence, he wanted to use it to enter the Elder Soul Stage or use it to enter Mid-Level Elder Soul Stage. If he used it now, it would just be too wasteful.

As an unaffiliated alchemist who can make Mid-Level Sky Grade Pills with only a Soul Forging Cultivation of Peak-Level Adult Soul Stage, his name spread far and wide as he got more patrons.

Most of them were there to build good relations with him, seeing that he could cross levels to make higher-level pills.

Not only did they set up good deals for him, like freely giving him a medium-sized and big residences to show their sincerity, they even went far as to set up beauty traps as well.

And what he couldn’t believe was that the women who came for him all actively tried to gain his favor.

This caused Davis to get a headache but was incredibly glad that Natalya was there with him. Without her presence, it would’ve been difficult for him to politely decline all their advances.

Not only did she help him with a lot of work, she even had forgo her cultivating time and ended up helping him with a ton of work.

Davis advised her that she should hire some people, but she directly rejected that telling that she wanted to be helpful to him and protect his identity.

Although Davis felt bad for pushing all the work other than alchemy to her, he didn’t stop her. He kind of liked her enthusiasm and determination.

That said, at the end of the year, Davis was grinning from ear to ear.

He had raked in an amount of 7,000,000 Low-Level Spirit Stones just by purely devoting the entire year to concoct pills and sell them.

People thought that he was a madman to be kept up all day long with concocting pills but wasn’t surprised when they considered that he could cross levels to make higher-level pills.

They brushed it off as a genius trait and didn’t mention much about it but with this, Davis had completely consolidated his alchemy skills.

That said, when he decided that it was time to end his short career of concocting pills, his year-long pent up exhaustion kicked in as he slept for 5 days straight.

Although he did take rest from time to time, he didn’t fully take a rest a single time.

Natalya was worried sick over this matter and thought he was dead since he didn’t wake up for 3 days.

Only after she found him breathing did she heave a sigh of relief and leave him be as he continued to recover.
