Divine Emperor of Death Chapter 546 Searching For A Poison-Attributed Cultivation Manual

Davis was like an opportunist who refused to let go of the small chance he got from a lottery ticket, hanging on to it without letting it go even though there was the chance that he might harm his loved one unintentionally through some consequences.

Evelynn shook her head, indicating that she did not mean it that way. Before, she paused for a moment since she felt flustered but did not expect for him to misunderstand her in that pause.

"You misunderstood me... What I meant to say was... Is that I believe that you will never leave me because of another woman."

Davis became stunned as the arm he held in the air froze, still pointing at her. He suddenly became exasperated with himself for a moment.

Disgust also simultaneously welled up within him, ’My inner and deep thoughts have leaked out...’

Indeed, it would be a lie if he said if he didn’t feel affection or desire for other women but those were thoughts that he couldn’t act upon as he felt the need to remain faithful to Evelynn.

If Evelynn gave her consent, by the standards of the cultivation world and himself, he would still remain faithful to her.

That’s why, when she said that he can be with another woman, his inner thoughts leaked out like a drain that was filled with filth, impure as ever, clinging on to her words which he thought she might have accidentally let out.

Davis put his arm down and heaved a long sigh. He looked at his wife with a complex glint and said as he stressed his words, "Even if you die, I’ll still look for your next reincarnation. As long as you never betray me, I will never leave you."

His words were filled with dominance and obsession but that garnered a positive reaction from Evelynn as she shyly looked away from him.

Somehow, she didn’t doubt his words.

Or it would be better to say that she didn’t want to doubt his words as he always kept it without failing her even till now.

Davis walked towards her and grasped her chin as they looked into each other’s eyes, impure thoughts welling up within them.

Before long, their robes were at rest, laying on the surface of the room.

Davis realized that he was already on top of their bed, his body pressing down on Evelynn’s naked body while their lips were connected, savoring each other’s taste.

A few seconds later, he left her lips and a trail of saliva separated them as their hearts throbbed.

Evelynn took unnatural breaths as she felt short of breath while her cheeks blushed heavily from the rush of blood, making her look amorous, like a woman in heat.

"You know... Being debauched with you isn’t necessarily bad..." Davis uttered with a lustful expression on his face.

For the next few hours, only sounds of extreme pleasure reverberated around the room.

======

The next day.

Davis and Evelynn walked out of the residence and headed around the city to look for an Essence Gathering Poison Manual.

They visited many Cultivation Manual stores but manuals at the Sky Grade quality were scarce and those that were poison attributed were pretty much nonexistent.

There were a few poison-attributed cultivation manuals at the Earth Grade but Evelynn didn’t need it since she was already at the Peak-Level of Earth Grade when her Essence Gathering Cultivation was considered.

After all, her overall prowess can be considered at the Low-Level ky Grade since her Body Tempering Cultivation is at Gold Stage.

When Davis asked for the reason why there were no Sky Grade Manuals, most of the store managers stated that the poison attributed cultivation manuals were not sold openly and if sold, it would be bought by the Royal Family for a fair price to curb unrest in the city.

He did not garner much suspicion from them since he only asked them in passing.

In fact, he did not straightaway check for poison attributed cultivation manuals but browsed the other manuals in the beginning before curiously asking about the former.

"Oh, the Royal Family takes them away? Although they do it in the name of protecting, what motives do they have for collecting those manuals? To seal them?" Davis spoke in a sarcastic tone.

The manager beside him awkwardly laughed, not daring to carelessly comment on the matter since it relates to the Royal Family. He had a long mustache and his eyebrows were sharp like a sword.

In short, he looked like a serious person but his attitude was easygoing.

"Then what if the poison attributed cultivation manuals appeared by illegal means? Does the Royal Family target them too?"

"This..." The manager pondered for a moment before opening his mouth, "I can’t be sure about that but there is an Alchemy Convention held by Thousand Pill Palace."

"Alchemy Convention?" Davis became confused.

What does that have to do with the question he asked?

The manager nodded, "The Alchemy Convention is hosted by the Thousand Pill Palace Branch set up in the east region. The Alchemy Convention is a form of gathering where many alchemists appear..."

"They exchange knowledge, pills, ingredients, cultivation methods, pill recipes and information on rare ingredients in exchange for the same or other commodities."

"You can try asking them if they know about poison attributed cultivation manuals."

Davis pursed his lips, "Are normal people allowed in that Alchemy Convention?"

"Of course, but since it is a gathering of the alchemists from all over the Ethren Empire, it would cost you a steep price to enter."

"I see..." Davis rubbed his chin and gradually formulated a plan in his mind.

To clear the Peak-Level Sky Grade Alchemist Exam and enter the Alchemy Convention. This way, he could gain some status and actively gain more information about King-Level Alchemy.

In any case, he felt that he should take the exam from the Thousand Pill Palace Branch and become a Peak-Level Sky Grade Alchemist. Clearing the exam would also grant him with a rather clear identity which he could use to roam around in the First Layer.

After all, he garnered that the Thousand Pill Palace was a well-known power since it had branches all over the human territories.

Besides, the Thousand Pill Palace too owned a territory for themselves and that established their rule and gave them a lofty status in the human territories.

It was especially so when one considered that it was a conglomeration of alchemists, gathered all over from the human territories. However, Thousand Pill Palace wasn’t the only alchemist based power in the First Layer. There were many others as well.

After browsing the store for a while, Davis left the store without buying anything, leaving the exasperated manager to sigh as if he expected this would happen.

Davis didn’t give up but visited a few more stores that sold Cultivation Manuals in the periphery of the East region. However, the stores they visited too did not possess poison attributed cultivation manuals, leaving them disheartened.

"Wait for a few days. We can try our luck in the Alchemy Convention or attend an underground auction." Davis placated Evelynn.

However, Evelynn just shook her head and said with a carefree smile on her face, "No haste..."

"Even if I don’t obtain a poison attributed cultivation manual for a century, it is absolutely fine."

Davis just smiled and brought her back to the residence. He knew that she had just said this out of concern for him. He imagined that she must have felt rather moved, seeing him strive hard for her to find a Poison Attributed Cultivation Manual.
