Divine Emperor of Death
chapter-1001

Elder Belias Alstreim slowly turned his head and looked at the single vial that Alchemist Davis was holding, and realized that there were only three of those near-trash tier pills inside it. It was obvious to him about what had become of the other pills as they had dissolved into complete waste!

He controlled his expression from turning into a grimace and spoke in a cheerful tone.

"Hehe, Alchemist Davis. It is unfathomable to concoct pills of this level with your current cultivation. The fact that you were at least able to bring three of them into existence alone speaks volumes of your ability in the realm of pill concoction."

Normally, he would have berated if an alchemist made a trash-tier pill, calling that person useless, fit for nothing and whatnot, but since he also knew about the difficulty from Alchemist Davis's perspective, he was instead in awe that Alchemist Davis at least managed to create pills at Peak-Level Sky Grade!

Besides, he also felt that this result of creating trash-tier pills could be an unusual accident caused by the breakthrough. After all, a cultivator would need time to adjust with their new and improved energy through practice and control.

Davis simply nodded his head, not taking the other party's consolation into account.

Elder Belias Alstreim felt that there was no need to announce the results. After all, concocting three near-trash pills in a public platform such as this Alchemy Exchange would be an unforgettable black mark in an alchemist's history. He didn't want Alchemist Davis to form a heart demon or something that gives him a century worth of humiliation.

Instead, he wanted to curry favor as he could see Alchemist Davis's potential.

So what if it were near-trash pills!? The fact that a Low-Level Mature Soul Stage Cultivator was able to concoct a Peak-Level Sky Grade Pill is alone enough to be considered a tremendous feat!

Indeed, when Davis was truly in the Low-Level Mature Soul Stage in the past, he was able to concoct two Soul Emerging Pills. They were two Peak-Level Sky Grade Pills, and he concocted them without sacrificing their quality, making those two pills Normal-Tier in quality. That was a feat that took almost everything in him, causing him to faint by over-drafting his soul force!

But in this scenario, with his suppressed soul force that was at Peak-Level Elder Soul Stage, he managed to create three trash-tier Peak-Level Sky Grade Pills! If the previous scenario could be considered magnificent, then this scenario could be considered heavenly!

Elder Belias Alstreim turned towards the crowd and announced, "With this, Alchemist Davis has successfully concocted three Peak-Level Sky Grade Pills with his low cultivation, and it earned him the sixteenth place in this Alchemy Exchange!"

The crowd became marveled at Alchemist Davis's concoction that most of them didn't have an opinion. They didn't know whether to praise or mock him as they knew his cultivation was insufficient to be making a Peak-Level Sky Grade Pill. Nevertheless, some of them did indeed were able to see through the significance behind those trash-tier pills.

"Woah! Three pills of Peak-Level Sky Grade with Low-Level Mature Soul Stage Cultivation? Marvelous!!!"

"No, the breakthrough was at the last moment, so it couldn't be a major factor. Hence, it could be said that Alchemist Davis managed to make three Peak-Level Sky Grade Pills with... with just his Peak-Level Elder Soul Stage Cultivation!"

"Really!!!? T-hat... That's... something I've never heard of..." The woman who initially spoke trembled on hearing the man beside her, who seemed to be her husband.

The husband was in such awe that he did not notice his wife's eyes turning dreamy upon looking at Alchemist Davis's handsome face.

The people did not seem to be jeering at all, but instead, they seemed to be cheering for Alchemist Davis.

Dalila Leehan was about to ask what kind of pill was that utter black pill, but she refrained from being pesky since Alchemist Davis's results didn't seem to be that good. Right now, she recalled Nora Alstreim's words before she tried placing herself in his shoes, and she instantly felt the humiliation giving her a surge of chill up her spine.

She became horrified to feel that Alchemist Davis was experiencing such a disheartening emotion despite his potential, and so couldn't help but subconsciously feel pity. She became hesitant whether if she should pursue him for the deal they made and shortly decided that she would not bring it up by herself.

She didn't want to humiliate him further as she mused that he should be already feeling disheartened, humiliated, and disappointed by his own current inability.

Sophie Alstreim also looked as if she was feeling pity for Alchemist Davis. Moments later, she was already planning on how to console him so as to become acquainted with him, with her end goal being to become his woman. However, she didn't feel sure about it and lacked confidence.

"Sigh... I can't believe that I witnessed a few near-trash pills, but nevertheless, it is indeed a fact that Alchemist Davis managed to create Peak-Level Sky Grade Pills at his level."

"However, as a low-level alchemist at this point in time, he shouldn't have been allowed to participate in this Alchemy Exchange..."

"True..."

The Elders in the third tier seemed to be whispering among themselves.

Another Grand Elder added, but he seemed to be directly talking with the Dragon Queen.

"Dragon Queen, your young alchemist expert sure is one in a billion talent. We think highly of him, but since he failed to meet your expectations by becoming the last in this-"

"You all might want to shut your mouths..." Princess Isabella coldly uttered.

That Grand Elder became taken aback before he trembled from both anger and embarrassment as his cheeks came to possess a shade of red. His pride didn't allow a junior to berate him, but he knew what was better for him as the person he was dealing with him was not a normal junior but a junior who could spell his end, making him realize the consequences before he obediently shut his mouth.

The other Elders also realized and didn't dare to utter their opinions anymore as they didn't want to get on her bad side.

Princess Isabella was indeed in a bad mood, not because Davis had failed, but there were a few opinions that circulated in this third tier that Alchemist Davis had failed to meet her expectations.

What expectations? For alchemy, it was already fulfilled as far as she could consider!

She didn't know much, but even she could tell that concocting a high-grade pill with low-level cultivation was a tremendous feat! It was akin to having a battle prowess that crossed three levels, and perhaps more!

Yet these people were telling her that he painted mud on her face!

Who were they trying to please?

Her!?

She was surprised at herself that she hadn't made a move yet to slap them into the heavens for making derisive comments about the man she loved!

'Must be his influence...' Princess Isabella ruefully looked at Davis, 'Do not be offended of trivial matters, was it?'

Perhaps the only virtue she learned from Davis is patience!
