Chapter 554 Visiting The Alchemy Powerhouses 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.

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.
