Rise of The Anti God (Web Novel)
chapter-67

Damien visited his new villa and was surprised to see that there were four huge rooms in the ground floor itself and three spacious rooms in the first floor. It was a two storied building as a whole.

If he were to compare with the earth's standards, he would say this was a dream house. Even the quality of the furniture were top notch and there was no shortage of luxury in the villa. The rooms were open and airy and the windows were designed in such a way that the air inside the room felt cool and refreshing. He also didn't fail to notice an yellow colored top quality Earth Grade cauldron kept in the kitchen.

'At least that woman knows to pick a good house for me.' Damien was planning to buy a small house before, but after he met the empress, he decided to improvise and get one for free. He wanted one since he would have more freedom to do his own work and move about freely.

But he decided to sleep in the Dark Forest while keeping Valentina company since he anyway would be tired after all the hunting during the night.

——

The afternoon of next day after the training session with Lily, Damien had put up his own sign board outside his villa advertising himself as a peerless Rank 4 Alchemist and a physician. Rumors had already spread around the city of a Rank 4 Alchemist known as Mr.Azrael who was able to concoct the mythical Supreme Tier Pills.

His main tagline was 'Guaranteed Supreme Tier Pills up to Rank 4! Swear on my little brother! '.

Seeing such a tagline, who wouldn't get interested? Most of them were impressed that Damien went even as far as swearing upon his little brother to show that he was confident in his skills. But some cultured ones squinted their eyes and a knowing smile appeared on their face as if they understood something.

Luna asked curiously why he kept such a tagline saying he didn't even have a little brother. But Damien only got pissed off at her for saying his little brother was nonexistent. He only said that an imp like her wouldn't understand.

Soon enough, a crowd of people had already gathered in front of his villa under the hot sun. They didn't even hope that Damien would stick around in the Rong Empire with his ability and already thought that the Xeton Empire or other empires probably carried him away to their own empires.

They also didn't expect Damien to be a physician as well, but didn't find it surprising since some alchemists had some medicinal skills as they already needed to have some medicinal knowledge to study alchemy.

If Olivia Rong knew Damien was going to stick around and popularize himself, she would have vomited blood in anger. All her plans to monopolize the first few Supreme Tier Pills went down the drain. She misunderstood Damien to be someone who didn't like to be in the spotlight since he even requested for an anonymous recommendation letter and the way he hid his identity.

In the end, if she had waited, she wouldn't even have had to pay any extra compensation and would have been able to buy pills from Damien at the price he would have set for everyone else.

In Damien's villa,

"So you are saying you are not able to recover your ethereal energy properly?" Damien asked a elderly patient sitting before him as he analyzed his ethereal core.

"Yes, Dr.Azrael. Ever since I took the Ethereal Nourishing Pill, I have been having this problem."

"Your cultivation is at the first level of the Earth Ethereal Realm and it seems like you have only recently broken through. The Ethereal Nourishing Pill is used to nourish one's ethereal core points and should only be taken after you have stabilized your cultivation base. But because you didn't, your ethereal core points are clogged thus unable to properly rejuvenate ethereal energy in your ethereal core."

"Yes, that has been the problem but all the doctors I have seen said that they don't know the perfect way to unclog it without causing damage to my cultivation base. I was hoping you have some remedy for this."

"Hmm, such a simple problem, if I couldn't solve it, then I don't deserve to call myself a physician. Don't worry, I can easily unclog it for you, but you need to seal both your cultivation base before I start."

"Of course, I am really thankful to hear that you can fix me. Please pay a visit to our Ron Family whenever you have time to spare. I guarantee that you wouldn't be disappointed with our hospitality."

"Hmm, I will keep that in mind."

…

…

"Alchemist Azrael, will this pill really heal all minor injuries within seconds?"

"Of course, you may try it out whenever the situation calls for it and you will understand why it is a Supreme Tier Pill."

"Thank you, Alchemist Azrael, I won't doubt your words. Here's 1000 Yellow Spirit Stones for your trouble."

——

Hours passed as Damien was seeing affluent customers and patients who either wanted him to concoct Supreme Tier Pills or wanted to get treated by him. It was evening when he finally closed shop and stopped accepting any more requests for the day. After all, he can't neglect his daily hunting in the Dark Forest and also see Valentina.

'50,000 Yellow Spirit Stones...I am damn rich now!' Damien shouted inwardly while he counted his total earnings for today.

He couldn't help but imagine how much he would be making in the future especially when he is able to concoct Rank 5 pills and above. If he knew how mythical a Supreme Tier Pill was, he would have done this earlier.

Some had thought he could have made more money had he sold his pills at the Rong Imperial Auction house. But Damien didn't want to waste his time by going here and there when he could make as much money as he wants since he basically controls the supply and demand of Supreme Tier Pills.

Damien was even tempted to focus more on his soul cultivation but he knew it was more hard to advance his soul than his ethereal energy. Still, he wasn't disheartened since he could focus on absorbing soul essence along with one's life essence.

'Time to see that cute cat.' Damien smiled as he thought about Valentina.

——

It was night when Damien was finally finished with his hunting and even managed to kill ethereal beasts around level four of the Nascent Ethereal Realm with his ethereal arts.

And for ethereal beasts with cultivation above that, he found that he had to exhaust more of his ethereal energy reserves in order to kill an ethereal beast at the fifth level of the Nascent Ethereal Realm.

He was now waiting at the meeting spot or the place where Valentina was living.

"Big Brother Damien!" An excited high pitched voice sounded from behind as he turned around smiling to see a small figure rushing towards him clad in a cloak too big for her.

Valentina got close to Damien and lifted her head to look up at Damien and smiled at him. Damien chuckled seeing her cute smile and patted her head, "Were you waiting for me this whole time?"

"En. I had no idea when you would come, but I knew you would surely come today." She replied innocently.

Damien felt a little bad he didn't mention the time he would be visiting her since he wasn't sure how his schedule would be like after becoming a Rank 4 Alchemist.

"Well, as promised, here's the thing you have been waiting for." Damien gave a broad smile as he took out a small, exquisite rose red dress with flutter sleeves and a circle skirt that was clearly made for a young lady and handed it to Valentina.

Valentina let out an excited gasp as she held the dress and felt it all over seeing how good the fabric felt. She cutely giggled and jumped with excitement as she stared at the dress.

Damien laughed seeing her adorable actions and asked, "Do you like it?"
