As for whether if the auction is a licensed or an underground entirety, it didn't matter to him as long as he could procure the required King Grade Medicinal Pills.

But as for the legal auction, he needed to make sure that procuring the required King Grade Medicinal Pill didn't backtrace to him. After all, the Tripartite Alliance could backtrack them by just using their intelligence but Davis doubted that point since cultivators mostly seemed to use their fist rather than their brains.

On the outskirts of the Royal Xuan Capital City, from the wilderness dense with large trees, blocking the line of sight of the people, there were numerous eye-sized radiances, reflecting the moonlight.

"Looks like even they have city guards in duty who are actively looking for us..."

Davis looked at the entrance of the city gates which had city guards on strict patrol, granting clearance to the people who were trying to enter into the city.

"Despicable! It's been two months, yet they still have not given up searching for us!"

By the side, Lucia fumed as she vented with a low voice. She wanted to get her father a suitable King Grade Medicinal Pill as soon as possible but didn't dare raise her voice in front of these mysterious people, afraid that they would abandon them.

Davis pondered as the others tried to offer their opinions or console Daniuis.

"Let's go..."

"What!?"

Everyone turned to look at Davis, wondering why had spoken like that.

The mask they wore were all different from the ones the wore previously, so it was relatively safe, but in the inspection near the gate, they would be required to take off their masks for identification.

Davis just chuckled, "Don't worry, these city guards are there to just scare us off. In reality, they are not trying to find us but capture other criminals. With us as an excuse, they can defy the incognito law which all vagrant cultivators need to follow for a few months, nothing more, nothing less."

Incognito Law or the Disguise Law was one of the unspoken rules of the cultivation world.

Wearing a black robe with a hood meant that one didn't want to be disturbed unless required or needed. However, cultivators took advantage of this unspoken rule and used it to do immoral deeds.

Hence, a part of the people who wore disguised clothes are mostly criminals or people who are wanted for their rebellion against the Empire's rules.

"We won't be lucky every time. If we are discovered here, it would be hard to escape." By the side, Daniuis shook his head.

"If they find us, they won't dare to attack unless a group of Seventh Stage Cultivators from the Tripartite Alliance are present..." Davis answered back.

"They will secretly relay our whereabouts to the Tripartite Alliance."

"I think we will be as lucky as the last time then..."

Daniuis turned flabbergasted from Davis's optimistic view.

'Is this fellow really trying to rely on luck or does he have something up his sleeve?'

Sure, they had lucked out many times previously during their journey but will it be the same again?

With only a silent pause, Davis moved to the side and the others who were originally part of the mysterious masked group silently followed him.

Daniuis's group only hesitated for a moment before following them.

Soon, on the paved pathway towards the Royal Xuan Capital City, there were two carriages being driven by, actually, no one.

The driver seat was actually an enclosed space, not handled for being pulled by magical beasts.

Davis sat in the driver seat as he drove the carriage by not using his legs to step on the accelerator but grasping the wheel with his two hands. The control design was somewhat close to a modern car's interior but entirely different.

Of course, the carriage didn't move by utilizing his essence energy but spirit stones. Davis only utilized a fraction of his energy to activate the wheel, a stark difference from using his essence energy as a fuel.

Spirit Stones were pure, condensed sources of heaven and earth energy while his essence energy was tainted with his own traits.

Perhaps if he later designed a carriage for himself, one that utilizes his energy to move, then that would be truly marvelous but also exhausting as his essence energy would be the only one depleting faster than he could replenish.

Hence, using spirit stones for transport became a viable and efficient choice.

Soon, the two carriages which looked like a noble's transport rode without rumbling and stumbling throughout the paved pathway leading to the gates. In a few minutes, they quickly arrived in front of the huge gates of the Royal Xuan City.

"Halt!" One of the guards casually signaled the carriage with his hands raised up. He wore a green helmet and cyan armor but when Davis saw it, his mind thought of something else as he pursed his lips.

In any case, the green hat legend didn't exist, so he felt that it was useless to make a joke out of it.

Their carriages were halted, however, there were a few carriages in front of them, just passing the check without any problems and moved forwards into the city.

The few guards who inspected the carriages then shot a look at Davis's carriage before their gazes simultaneously shot towards Daniuis's carriage.

There were four of them who stepped forwards from their positions, with two of them intending to check each of the two carriages.

At this time, Davis opened the door out of the triangular-shaped driver section of the carriage and got down. When his leg that was clad with black silk shoes came into the guards' line of sight, all of their attention was drawn to him.

His silk pants then came into their view, along with a luxurious purple robe that they found familiar, one that had 5 stars etched on it.

One of the guards suddenly realized who they were dealing with and suddenly bowed, trying to gain favor, "Esteemed Alchemist, forgive us for our impudence but we're tasked with the search of criminals who might threaten the safety of the city and the territory."

'Safety of the territory?' Davis held his laughter before waving his hands.

The guards instantly saw the words inscribed on the token and were all stunned into silence.

[Mid-Level Sky Grade Alchemist]

Davis held the token and flipped to display the rear of the token which had the words [Thousand Pills Association] inscribed.

If the Alchemist Robe could be said to clear their suspicion of them being criminals, then the token lifted their suspicion of the Alchemist Robe being fake.

"Everyone calls me Mister Scythe, but those who are all in dire need of pills call me Alchemist Scythe, you dare to stop me?" Davis spoke in a casual tone as if he wasn't bothered what was happening in front of him but his words said otherwise.

"Esteemed Alchemist, it is not a problem to give you entrance to the city, however, we request your understanding to search for any criminals who may have infiltrated your carriage."

The guard who wore the green helmet jumped down to the surface and bowed slightly with respect.

Davis inwardly nodded his head to the guard's statement. The words the guard said didn't sound offending but only blamed the criminals who could've 'possibly' infiltrated his carriage.

Nevertheless, he naturally wasn't quelled.
