Divine Emperor of Death
chapter-1008

*Whoosh!~*

Abruptly, Davis waved his hand and caught an object that came flying at him.

Everyone became startled!

"You have not disappointed me..." Princess Isabella domineeringly echoed from her seat as she rested her chin on her palm, her thick thighs stacked upon itself.

Davis inwardly chuckled at her performance and opened his palm, and saw the object. It was none other than the fifty milliliters of Million Emerald Vines Calamity's nectar.

He had given her some vials to strut off and to make people believe that she truly held the nectar, but obviously, most of it was with him.

Davis cast a look at Princess Isabella and smiled. Originally, he possessed no idea of publically faking a breakthrough, but because of many factors such as Isabella's provocation, his deal with Dalila Leehan, he simply did not want to lose as the urge to win increased over time.

Many times, he felt that winning or losing felt childish as he was influenced by many shows he watched on Earth. However, he also understood winning or losing isn't the same as in the modern world, as winning or losing most of the time ends up deciding one's fate. It could be in no way considered childish as their lives literally depended on winning or losing.

He took his gaze back after musing but looking at the people eyeing him, no, eyeing the nectar like crazy; he practically experienced a chill on his spine that made him instantly uncomfortable.

'What the... These people... this nectar attracts so much desire than a seductively dressed woman...'

He promptly kept the rewards in his spatial ring and could see the absolute disappointment in people's faces as their expression changed into reluctance and unwillingness. Some even gasped in disappointment as they heaved a sigh, knowing that Alchemist Davis had no intention to share the precious nectar with them even if they gave him a delicious deal.

Dalila Leehan also became disappointed. She knew that she had no chance to ask for the nectar and would not be entertained, perhaps even publically teased and humiliated. However, she remained extremely curious about two things and wanted to question.

But before that, she threw him an object.

Davis caught it before he realized that it was a messaging talisman to contact her. Noticing the grade of the talisman, he was a bit astonished as it was a higher-grade talisman that was able to connect two people from as far as three Territories apart.

He inwardly nodded and kept it in his spatial ring.

"What is the name of this potent Body Tempering Pill?"

Davis hesitated for a moment, thinking if revealing the name would invite trouble, but he suddenly had an epiphany.

'If I have all this power, not to mention, Fallen Heaven, why am I so aversed to troubles that I take so many precautions to avoid them?'

'I know that it is simply because that it's a drag, but... you know what... I won't take the initiative to avoid troubles. Let trouble come to me, and I'll just squash it myself!'

His hesitation was only for a moment before he smirked, "It is called the Enlightened Martial Surge Pill. As for the effects, it is the same as I explained before, only useful for reaching a breakthrough."

"I see..." Dalila Leehan furrowed her brows.

Even with her current knowledge, she had never heard about this pill before.

'I should ask my seniors and elders about the origins of this pill after I return. Perhaps, the Glorious Pill Palace from the mid-sized Territory might be in possession of it, and in that case, I can accept that such a pill has transcended what we are capable of...!'

Dalila Leehan inwardly nodded but hesitantly asked.

"From... From where did you obtain this Pill Recipe?"

"It's a pill recipe from my background. Do you have a problem with that?" Before Davis could reply, a cold yet stunning voice echoed from the third tier.

Dalila Leehan experienced a sudden chillness on her back before she swiveled her head towards the floating third tier, her gaze falling on the Dragon Queen. She froze on the spot as she met with her strange domineering gaze before she subconsciously lowered her head.

"I... I don't d-dare..." Dalila Leehan uttered in a low voice.

She felt as if an apex predator was staring at her!

Davis looked around, and it seemed some others were also cowering in fear.

'Holy crap! She's using the remnant aura of the Earth Dragon that remained in her body after the sacrifice of that diluted blood essence... Oh well, it works as a form of intimidation as well...'

Everyone who was looking for the opportunity to ask about this exactly became frozen on the spot, but now, they had no choice but to settle for the two pills instead. It was a no-brainer to them that these two pills would be sold to the highest bidders!

Some of the elders felt their faces burn since they had looked down on Alchemist Davis. However, their faces didn't burn for that reason, but they lost the chance to go down to the stage and ask for the pills. Even then, some thick-faced elders did indeed step down, actually starting to praise Davis into the heavens!

"Dalila Leehan, you have your answer, and the Alchemy Exchange has practically ended; I have no intention of staying here any longer. Therefore, I bid you all farewell." Princess Isabella stood up and stepped into the skies.

Since making connections with the Thousand Pill Palace was a failure, perhaps, mainly because of her sudden outburst, she no longer felt the need to remain here.

Davis also took to the skies, but a voice suddenly echoed, stopping him in his tracks.

"What about the two pills? Does esteemed Alchemist have any intention of selling it to the Alstreim Family?" Grand Elder Lloyd Alstreim politely asked.

"No! Please sell it to the Thousand Pill Palace. We'll pay a higher price than the norm!" Dalila Leehan echoed as she mustered her courage.

The effects of intimidation still remained in her psyche that she avoided connecting with the Dragon Queen's gaze and even subconsciously added a 'please' in her sentence. She didn't even realize that but looked at Alchemist Davis with an expectant gaze.

Davis looked at them from above before he shook his head, "I have my own uses for these pills. Obviously, I have my two gorgeous wives to take care of..."

He gave them a valid reason, so they would not pester him again, and as expected, both of them came to possess difficult expressions on their faces while many others were flabbergasted.

Some women who heard this became extremely envious as their husbands rarely helped them. They hatefully wondered why they weren't blessed with a generous and doting man like him?

In truth, Davis had no use for these pills because he had the nectar. As for the two pills, he mused that it might come in handy someday. Besides, there were chances that the experts from the Thousand Pill Palace could reverse-study the pill, managing to make out the recipe from the choice of ingredients he took in this stage.

The main ingredients were pretty much out in the open since people saw him taking those out, but the problem lay within the supplementary ingredients he quickly refined and used in a secretive manner. As long as they could not find the accurate combination, it would be extremely difficult for them to reverse-concoct the pill.

In any case, he didn't want them reverse-concocting a pill from just being in possession of these two pills. In that case, he would become the loser as he had nothing to gain!
