Divine Emperor of Death Chapter 554 Visiting The Alchemy Powerhouse’s Branch

After Davis and Lucas discussed a bit, the former left while the latter continued to rest. A few hours later, Lucas headed back to his home and Davis accompanied him to make sure that he would not slip up on their fabricated story.

Indeed, after they arrived at Daniuis’s building, Daniuis questioned them the discrepancy he had noticed belatedly, like how Davis was able to cure the intruder’s concentrated poison.

Although Daniuis was not all that knowledgeable about poisons, he knew that were an uncountable number of poisons, making it impossible to be carrying an antidote for a certain type of poison at all times.

Neither did he believe that there was a single cure for all types of poison.

Daniuis’s doubt was within Davis’s expectations, and the latter knew that the former was only asking for all this was to look after their safety.

Hence, Davis answered, "My wife practices a bit of poison laws, and since I’m an alchemist, I aid her in practicing Poison Laws by concocting antidotes for her, which in turn helped increase my knowledge about poisons."

Daniuis was first taken aback to hear that his grand nephew’s wife comprehended Poison Laws before he nodded his head in understanding.

’So that’s why he knew which antidote to administer... Likely, Lucas was poisoned by a similar type of poison that grand nephew’s wife already excels in...’ Daniuis arrived at this own answer, forming a correlation to the situation.

This also explained the time Davis used poison on the members of the Tripartite Alliance.

However, he found a point that confused him.

’Strange... The intruder seems to be a Body Transformation Cultivator, and grand nephew’s wife also seems to be a Body Transformation Stage Cultivator...’

This coincidence irked his instincts that something was wrong, but since his son and grandnephew said otherwise, he took their word as the truth.

Davis had revealed about Evelynn’s Poison Laws because it would be found out in no time if she revealed her cultivation in the future.

Many of them haven’t still seen Evelynn use her cultivation, hence, they didn’t relate the remnant undulations that were left outside the building.

Since it was just a matter of time, Davis felt that he should inform them beforehand so that they don’t doubt Evelynn later on when they discover her cultivation.

Although this could be found out if they investigated deeply, he doubted that they would do it since it already became from their conversation that the intruder came for Isabella; the Conferred Queen and not them.

In their minds, his weakness and Lucas’s poisoning were just collateral harm.

The next day, Davis left alone to the east region where the Thousand Pill Palace Branch is situated at in the Ethren City. When he arrived at the location, numerous people were moving to and fro, carrying alloys and other construction materials into the place bustling with the atmosphere of festivities.

’Indeed, it looks like the alchemy convention will take place soon as mentioned by that merchant...’ Davis walked as he looked at the huge gate towering at the entrance with majestic vibes while on top of it was a big name board which had the words written in Sky Word Language.

[Thousand Pill Palace - Ethren Empire Branch]

As usual, Davis took in the sight while feeling a little bit of admiration as the undulations of the words rather hit him on the face as if it were a living technique. He then walked towards the huge gate but was stopped by the guards who promptly asked him to state his intentions.

’Oh, my Law Seed Stage undulations isn’t enough to grant me unimpeded entry?’ Davis became astonished at their cautiousness.

What he didn’t know was that these two guards held this position for over more than a hundred years, guarding the entrance of the Thousand Pill Palace Branch with their Sixth Stage Cultivation.

Hence, they more or less knew every face who had visited this place before. For first-timers and people who had low cultivation, they will always stop them from entering the Thousand Pill Palace Branch unimpeded.

"I have come to take the Sky Grade Alchemist Exam," Davis stated his purpose.

The two guards then sized him up with their eyes and didn’t bother with him anymore. They didn’t even care if he had his alchemist robe on...

Davis just shrugged and entered the wide paved pathway which led to the flight of stairs that elevated the place to various levels. Davis took the first flight of stairs and then moved right as the way boards indicated where he should go to matters relating to Sky Grade.

During this time, he saw the servants running over to another side while carrying materials above their wrists and a few other alchemists walking as they laughed with a female alchemist crowded at the center.

It didn’t take much for Davis to realize that the male alchemists were trying to woo the beautiful and elegant female alchemist.

’A classic face with gentle features and her body that is hidden by the alchemist robes conceals her bountiful curves... No wonder they’re all drooling over her...’

Davis then took his gaze away from her after reveling in admiration for the woman.

Not only was she beautiful, but judging by the number of stars she had on her alchemist robes, she was undoubtedly a Low-Level King Grade Alchemist! She had seven stars on her robes with the seventh star in bronze color.

In comparison to her, the male alchemists were just Peak-Level Sky Grade Alchemists when judged by their alchemist robes.

Davis guessed that she was unmarried, maybe even chaste. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be so many trying to court her quite openly.

Such an unmarried swan like her even when considering her age that could be at hundreds would still be popular no matter where she goes in the small territories of the First Layer!

He took many turns, passed by some buildings, small ponds and mountains after which he finally reached the place where the examination takes place individually.

In the hall of the building, he registered with the receptionist who was clearly a fledgling in Alchemy. She looked cute but naive with a gullible face but Davis knew the appearances can always be deceiving.

The receptionist sent him amorous glances with the intent of teasing him.

Davis became speechless before he started asking about the specifics of the examination. The receptionist explained patiently but also put in sexual nuances in her explanation which made him think that whether if her explanation was true.

Apparently, there were a few tests for one to become a Sky Grade Alchemist. They were the same as the one he took in the remote Thousand Pill Association in the Royal Xuan City.

One, Origin and Age Test.

Two, Theoretical Knowledge.

Three, Pill Deciphering

Four, Pill Concoction.

The only difference was the origin and age test.

Davis became inwardly worried but when he heard the receptionist say that it was optional, he relaxed. Revealing his age wasn’t a problem but revealing it along with his Soul Forging Cultivation is a great problem!

There were so many dangers that would come along with the implications, not just benefits. Hence, Davis didn’t want to reveal his age.

From the words of the receptionist, the Origin and Age Test only existed for the Thousand Pill Palace to authenticate the identity of the examinee. However, without completing the first test, it became almost impossible to join the Thousand Pill Palace.

Hence, taking the other three tests only allowed people to obtain the alchemist token plate recognized by the Thousand Pill Palace.

Davis wasn’t intent on joining the Thousand Pill Palace, hence he didn’t even consider taking the Origin and Age Test.

At this time, another male alchemist entered the hall, garnering both of their attentions.
