Chapter 232: Thousand Pills Association

On the note was where Davis also found that Old Man Garvin made a cultivation chamber for him in the lake that produced that soul restricting fog all year long.

As for those spatial rings, sadly, it had less items that weren't anything useful to him.

But in one of those spatial rings which he speculated that it might have belonged to Severin's, there was a haul of armaments that were useful to him, in terms of selling and gaining wealth.

Although the other spatial rings also had some armaments, there were only one or two of them in each spatial ring.

Unfortunately, he found no Cultivation Manuals, Battle Techniques or anything of that sort. He assumed that it was because of the restriction imposed by the three major powers over the Tripartite Alliance in the Tripartite Alliance Territory.

This caused them to be unable to bring around any items of value that they might possess; overall.

Other than Soul Arts, Techniques and Spirit Formations, Old Man Garvin didn't leave him anything behind.

He didn't leave anything relating to Body Tempering Cultivation and Essence Gathering Cultivation either but Davis guessed that the spatial ring meant for the descendants should have these.

Likely, he also felt that the complete Inheritance of the Peak-Level King Soul Stage Cultivator should also be in that spatial ring.

As for Davis's Soul Forging Cultivation path, other than the method and comprehension, Old Man Garvin wasn't inclined to influence his Soul Forging Cultivation Path in the slightest.

Davis clenched his fists as he saw outside the clear windows which were made of some other material than glass. It was almost evening, awaiting nightfall in a few hours.

The people walking outside seemed powerful as most of them were above the Second Stage in at least a single Cultivation System.

Even though they were powerful, none dared to cause trouble as there were patrol guards at every end of the streets.

The patrol guards themselves had a cultivation of the Revolving Core Stage, causing Davis to groan in amazement.

He could even spot some of the people who were in the crowd having Fourth and Fifth Stage Cultivation Base.

In a single glance, he could tell that the Mid-Level King Grade Empire had so many resources to spare that even their low-level guards reached the stage of Revolving Core.

The way it seemed, Low-Level Spirit Stones seemed to be traded and used as a currency a lot around here, though the purple coins seemed to be the main currency because of its liquidity.

'It was no wonder why this capital flourished with more high-level cultivators.' Davis mused.

Davis smiled and relaxed his fists. He went down and conversed with the receptionist of the Inn, gaining some information.

He walked out and joined the crowd as he moved across the streets.

Yes, he moved across the streets since no one was allowed to fly.

Only Sixth Stage and above experts were allowed to fly, otherwise, one should be prepared to get arrested by the guards. People of ample status could also fly regardless of their cultivation base.

And depending on the situation, the one who got caught could even be executed in broad daylight, sometimes depending on the circumstances.

He did learn this from the city gate guards who let him enter the city at the beginning.

After that point, when entering the city, he was afraid that they would request him to remove the mask.

But when they let him pass, he was quite surprised and guessed that they respected people's privacy.

Although he could guess that this wasn't the case, the way they let him go easily without checking made him think that way.

Moving along the road, he crossed multiple streets.

During these few minutes, he saw people who wore masks and by their figures, it seemed most of them were women.

Davis still couldn't understand why they would let so many people walk around with masks with energy imbued in it that helped cover their facial features.

Maybe it was just that they won't care unless the person in question caused any trouble or they had incredible confidence in guarding the city.

Davis shook his head and continued to walk ahead.

Ten minutes later, he finally arrived in front of a building.

The mansion-sized building had a dazzling board fixed on top of it, and the words that were inscribed on it emanated a calm and gentle feeling to the one who saw it.

[Thousand Pills Association]

Apparently, there existed another territory which was known as Thousand Pill Palace Territory. Davis learned it from the map of the 52 Territories drawn by Old Man Garvin.

And this Thousand Pills Association was precisely a branch of that territories' major power.

Davis chose this place to begin his alchemist career because he learned that this was the most reliable place to buy all sorts of pills, ingredients, becoming an alchemist, even when considering the whole Tripartite Alliance Territory.

Smiling behind the mask, he went inside, talked to the one who greeted him and took the examination as the procedure seemed simple and efficient.

A few hours passed before he was graded a Peak-Level Earth Grade Alchemist.

The examination was so simple that he just had to create a pill in front of three judges who verified his integrity and skill as an alchemist.

Davis who was not so confident in showing his talent as a Low-Level Sky Grade Alchemist carefully considered his options before deciding to concoct a Peak-Level Earth Grade Pill.

He mainly chose to do this because his Sky Grade Alchemist Knowledge could be considered half-assed. What if he failed suddenly? 

Wouldn't that be embarrassing?

Besides, it seemed like the examination for Sky Grade Alchemists included both written tests and practical tests. Since it was like that, he chose the examination for a Peak-Level Earth Grade Alchemist.

He chose the ingredients and paid-up some spirit stones for it, ensuring that both the ingredients and the pill made were his alone.

With that, the 8 Low-Level Spirit Stones he had left were also used up.
