A day later.
Davis visited the Alchemy Chamber of the Royal Castle and took out a Cauldron, intending to concoct the Peak-Level Sky Grade Pill, Soul Emergence Pill.
He came and saw the mess spread out on the surface of the floor while a rich, acrid, and bitter odor spread around in the air, reminding him about a certain alchemist.
"Teacher Kevin Highwood left a few years ago, huh..." He sighed as memories of that jovial alchemy teacher flooded his mind. That nostalgic feeling only stayed for a bit before it scattered out of his mind.
He waved his hand clearing the dust and mess with his energy to the sides.
The Cauldron he summoned out looked grand with numerous turtle and shield patterns, making it look as if it had high defense, however, it actually did.
Although it was just a High-Level Sky Grade Cauldron, it was capable of supporting the concoction of Peak-Level Sky Grade Pills to a certain degree.
Furthermore, it can still be used to break some heads of some opponents and can even be used as a shield in certain situations since it can absorb the explosions from the resulting failure of pill concoctions.
However, Davis was worried since the pill he was going to make wasn’t any ordinary Peak-Level Sky Grade Pill.
It was an ancient pill recipe gained from Old Garvin that would attract even the attention of Emperor Grade Powers like flies, after all, who wouldn’t like to strengthen their souls to a great extent?
’Worrying at this point is useless, and my soul force has barely met the requirement to create a Peak-Level Sky Grade Pill, even so, I’m still confident in my chances...’ Davis thought as he narrowed his eyes.
Thanks to his previously strengthened soul, he was barely capable of making Peak-Level Sky Grade Pills.
In any case, he had learned a King Grade Pill Concocting Technique from Old Man Garvin and that is where his confidence arose from in his heart.
Mystifying Dozen Flame Control!
This Pill Concocting technique helped Old Man Garvin concoct thousands of pills in his lifetime, and now it was going to aid Davis in his path of pill making for a time.
Readying himself by taking a little bit of interval to focus, he took out the six main ingredients and a dozen supporting ingredients that he had already collected.
Those supporting ingredients like the basic spirit grass of required grade were all used to keep the balance in the concoction as there was a high chance to cause an explosion since there were more than three ingredients with opposite attributes thrown into the Cauldron.
Davis took a deep breath and started the concoction of the pill! He threw out a few supporting ingredients, making it mild for the upcoming main ingredient to dissolve.
He focused his soul force on the exterior and twelve flames instantly lit up below the High-Level Sky Grade Cauldron.
Six flames in the upper row and six flames in the lower row brightly burns, rapidly increasing the heat, dissolving the ingredients in the Cauldron.
It wasn’t just a simple case of twelve flames burning around but a case of controlling each flame with both precise control and intensity.
This was the King Grade Pill Concocting Technique he learned from Old Man Garvin!
Time passed as he threw the main ingredients one by one, complimenting it with those supporting ingredients to balance the energy, keeping the Cauldron safe from exploding.
Davis gritted his teeth and concentrated on the concoction even though his soul force rapidly depleted.
Soon, when he arrived at the last step, the formation of the pill essence, he was on the verge of completely depleting his soul force.
Even so, he stretched out his hand gathering the Pill Essence prepared in the Cauldon.
The liquid essence floated up and combined to form five individual pills.
*Tcha!~*
A pill that was on the verge of forming cracked and burst out into pill essence, spreading the energy into all corners of the Alchemy Chamber.
What if he was faced with a Seventh Stage Soul Forging Cultivator as an enemy?
Wouldn’t he be screwed then? Forget him, Evelynn would meet a fate worse than death by being with him at that time.
If they really turned a Seventh Stage Soul Cultivator into an enemy, then Davis can only buy enough time to let Evelynn escape by distracting the cultivator with his improved prowess in the future.
’Evelynn is still at the Infant Soul Stage while Father is at Mid-Level Adult Soul Stage... Two major realms higher than her...’
No matter how he thought, it would be instantly useful to Logan rather than Evelynn.
"Well, Father it is then..." Davis muttered as he clenched his fists. This would also create an opportunity for him to meet his father and commence his plan. He initially considered using it for his plan anyway.
======
Two days later, quite late in the evening where the sun had set down while the moon rose up into the skies.
Davis made his way to the Emperor’s Chambers and went into his father’s room after knocking for a while.
It was no surprise that it took his father long because when Davis went inside the room, he saw Violet sitting on the bed, guiltily staring at him from time to time while avoiding his gaze.
"Then, what did you come here for?" Logan spoke in an indifferent manner.
"What? Can’t I come to see you if I have nothing to talk about?" Davis questioned back, his tone quite rebellious.
Logan shook his head, "It’s not like that..." But he then turned cold, "Cut the farce... Claire sent you, didn’t she?"
"You think mother sent me to spy on you?" Davis laughed as he said, "I’m sorry but if I wanted to spy on you, I could do that while staying in my room while just using Soul Sense."
Logan’s face changed as he grit his teeth.
"And you still wouldn’t be able to find out..." Davis uttered as he sighed in a disappointed manner.
"Here..." Davis extended his hand and a container appeared on his hands, "Consume this and you’ll see your Soul Force rise in quality..."
Logan froze for a bit.
Seeing that Logan didn’t move, Davis shoved the container to Logan’s chest and explained about the effects of the pill.
Finally reacting, Logan held the container as he looked at Davis with a complex feeling in his heart.
Moments later, he took a deep breath, "I apologize for acting unruly just now..."
"I understand... Father, I don’t what exactly ignited the tension between you and mother but if you keep this up..."
Logan instantly retorted, "Look, I made past mistakes and you told me to rectify it and I did! And the result? This is it!"
"Are you blaming me?" Davis calmly asked.
Logan shook his head, "What you’ve told me was correct. If you hadn’t advised me at that time, then my children born from the women I slept with at that time would be facing unknown dangers and untold struggles right now!"
Logan clenched his fists as his body shook, "But the world never gives you everything, does it? The result was I saved them all but ended up offending your mother... It’s truly frustrating to see the woman I love deeply, treat me like shit..."
Davis blinked, his eyes calmly viewing his father’s emotions, ’Alright, it looks like he still has feelings for her... That’s good...’
His calm eyes changed and his facial expression turned into one of criticism, "And that’s where these women came in, right? They treated you good so you no longer feel like tolerating mother, right?"
Suddenly, the room went silent.
Logan became frozen stiff while Violet lowered her head even more.
