Chapter 1431 - Real Cultivator
"Indeed..." Davis nodded his head to Nadia, "This is rather incredible. I did expect it to happen, but the chances were very less. I mean, it took me a heavenly resource to get you to King-Tier, to have that kind of prowess, and even that was only possible due to your low cultivation at that time. So what kind of purity would it take for this already overpowered Lightning Elemental to increase its prowess?"
Davis couldn’t help but chuckle, "The answer is clear..."
"I’m glad that master’s faith in her hadn’t gone to waste..." Nadia smiled as she turned to look back at him.
Davis’s focus switched to Nadia as he looked at her face. Her rosy lips became a bit more relevant to him that he almost felt like plucking them with his lips. Nevertheless, with their soul connection, Nadia quickly became aware of his intent and blushed slightly as her smile faded. She avoided his gaze, making him smile before he turned to look at the incoming figure.
"Master, I could already cross a level to fight against other beings. It was just that I got suppressed badly and hungry that I was unable to muster much prowess when you made me submit."
Eldia, who couldn’t read the atmosphere, joyfully spoke as she replied to them.
Davis couldn’t help but laugh.
"Haha, you wouldn’t be ranked third if you couldn’t at least do that, Eldia. You’re one of the grand Lightning Elementals that people would give up their souls to obtain. Refining a Purgatory Extinction Lightning will aid Eighth Stage or Ninth Stage lightning-attributed cultivators in increasing their prowess and destructive powers to a tremendous degree."
Eldia danced around Davis, looking happier than ever as she heard him speak.
"What other change have you noticed?" Davis curiously asked.
Eldia stopped in front of him. Her humanoid figure stopped crackling before she raised her head as if she was thinking.
"I... Other than feeling that my extinction lightning has become extremely powerful, I think I will be able to reach a breakthrough to the next stage within... a year or two..."
Davis nodded his head. In fact, it was even better than his expectations. He felt a few years was in store, but one or two years were way better. Nevertheless, he had the confidence to shorten that as long as he could grow in cultivation, superseding her cultivation, but then she would become weaker than him at that point.
’Where can I obtain more extinction lightning resources...?’
Davis’s gaze became sharp as he turned to look towards the core region of the Dark Thunder Island.
’Ninth stage lightning...? I’m rather courting death for thinking that I could even try to enter...’
Davis inwardly chuckled before he looked at Eldia.
"Eldia, have you ever seen people in red robes...?" Then, he suddenly asked, "They have this ability to use this red-lightning which is called infernal lightning..."
Eldia’s lightning eyes flashed with a dark black hue as if she blinked.Dive into Stories, Embrace Enchantment: N♡vεlB¡n.
"Oh them... Whenever I see those red-robed people with patterns of lightning, I always hide on that island because I know that I could not match their prowess. They always appear to hunt beings similar to me and search for resources. I also know that they would appear in a particular time frame, so it was easier for me to hide at that time, running off to that island, but I didn’t expect that I would get caught by that fox-human..."
Her tone became sad by the end that Davis couldn’t help but purse his lips.
"Come on, Eldia. Do you still hold it against them? You said you would forget about that if I let you come here for some time, no? It was your words..."
"Master, it isn’t like that... " Eldia shook her head, "I don’t want to kill them anymore. It is just... when I think that I would’ve been a peak-level existence by now, I couldn’t help but get angered at them..."
Davis’s heart trembled as he heard her statement.
She could even worry about her future!?
The more he conversed, the more he felt like he didn’t know about her.
However, the sound of crackling lightning still echoed behind him without a change in the distance, making his brows twitch. He turned around, looking as if he didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
’She seriously became attached to me for a treat...?’

Three hours later
Davis was in the Purple Guest Palace.
There were a few places reserved for herb gardens to grow for decorative purposes. He took out the plants and other unneeded beautiful flowers surrounding the place and neatly made a four-meter square space free on the spirit soil.
He made the spirit soil highly enriched by throwing in some eighth stage magical beast manure and a few other enrichers before he took out the viridian fruit from the jade container, garnering its overexcited intent over the highly enriched spirit soil it senses and also because of his touch.
"You’re so impatient..."
Davis chuckled as he patiently extracted the seed from the root. Its intent actually became clearer to him before he found himself influenced by its ecstatic emotions that he had to stop passively using his Heart Intent.
He shook his head, feeling that it good that he didn’t leave this poor fruit spirit out there all alone. It was in the advanced stages of forming its own consciousness and just lacked the ability to talk. It was just like a baby.
This situation actually made him recall the Sage Tree. He had its pill essence derived from it, and the tree seemed like an actual sage from the descriptions, so he was convinced that trees or even plants could grow to have their own consciousness in this world of cultivators after seeing this viridian fruit’s growth process.
"Sigh... seems like I’m a real cultivator now..."
Davis planted the seed with care on the spirit soil and placed a few display cases around that housed... strands of viridian lightning.
Yes!
He had gone to plunder that viridian lightning from the hidden island with Eldia’s help and collected them inside these display cases. That was why it took him a few hours.
These display cases had a unique glass material where they were able to reflect the energy from inside to outside, so it made it suitable for the seed. He also kept the fruit on a display case so that it would provide the energy radiating from it back to its spirit new form.
Davis looked around and saw that everything perfectly fit into place.
The environment was artificially made suitable, and the seed of the viridian fruit was now good to grow!
Davis extended his hand and declared to his two followers.
"Nadia! Eldia! Witness the heavenly miracle I’m going to perform...!"
Pure white energy surged out of his palms as it descended on the spirit soul, seeping into the seed that was buried a bit deep.
*Pop!~*
The seed actually broke through the soil surface at this moment, enlarging into a tree sap!
Nadia and Eldia blinked as they witnessed this shocking sight. It was not new to them but to think that their master actually mastered the art of this miracle but never did they know that he did not rely on a mere stone in the first place. Even Nadia had been more or less fooled at that time.
However, it did not stop but continued to grow as the surrounding viridian lightning trembled as they ran out of energy, and before long, Davis took out a few more display cases that contained the viridian lightning and enriched the tree sap that had already grown a meter tall!
At this point, a voice echoed.
"Ahhh~"
Davis, Nadia, and Eldia’s eyes widened. Then, all three of their expressions froze as they felt that the voice undoubtedly came from this growing tree!
