The Alchemy Convention took place for a week, so, Davis and Evelynn stayed there as accommodation for alchemists was naturally provided. They took advantage of this benefit and occupied a rather luxurious apartment that had more than five rooms, each bigger than the other.

Fortunately, while being all alone, Davis was able to hold his l.u.s.t back and didn't make a move on Evelynn as there was rather an exciting moment earlier.

With this, Evelynn diligently started to learn the Poison Attributed Cultivation Manual and was able to learn the Mortal Grade and Earth Grade sections of it.

Davis also didn't slack off and started to cultivate his Essence Gathering Cultivation as he felt that he was naturally closer to a breakthrough. Without encountering a mishap, he successfully broke through to the Mid-Level Law Seed Stage.

Although there was no Concealment Formation set up, he concealed the undulations by setting up Dark Concealing Shroud Art just a few minutes before the moment of breakthrough, so no one found his late-night explosion of Mid-Level Law Seed Stage undulations.

The next day, they roamed the Alchemy Convention again and inadvertently saw that Princess Isabella was intently learning about pills as well.

Her speed at learning was tremendous since the King Grade Alchemists seemed to personally explain the effects of the pills, enriching her horizons in the process.

After all, she was none other than the Conferred Queen and also a person who was rumored to be from an Emperor Grade Background, perhaps, a High-Level Emperor Grade Background where a Ninth Stage Powerhouse holds the helm.

There were also a few important guests, such as the First Prince, Hadre Ethren whom he came to know about in the Conferred King Tournament.

Davis and Evelynn just cast a wry gaze at Princess Isabella before continuing to roam around. After all, there were many kinds of events held like live pill concoction, compet.i.tions, group compet.i.tion, ma.s.s compet.i.tion for alchemists, and the likes.

Davis was aversed to take part in it even though there were rewards, because, he didn't want to gain attention. Besides, the pill compet.i.tion in the Alchemy Convention that had the most weight is held for King Grade Alchemists on the last few days

If Davis joined such a compet.i.tion, then he would just be embarra.s.sing himself, perhaps not even able to clear the first round of the compet.i.tion held for King Grade Alchemists.

Eventually, they became curious about Agis Stirlander.

Unfortunately, there was no sign of Agis Stirlander in the Alchemy Convention, leading them to think that he was still in the l.u.s.trous Skin Manor.

The second day ended peacefully and the next day appeared while the sun soon rose to the top, illuminating the world.

However, becoming bored of the Alchemy Convention, Davis and Evelynn headed to the gates of the Thousand Pill Palace Branch, wanting to return to their residence. With the events becoming predictable and not entertaining for them, they decided to leave.

Just when they neared the gates, they saw Agis Stirlander entering the gates of the Thousand Pill Palace Branch with a pale expression on his face, his posture lethargic as if he were severely drained of energy.

Davis and Evelynn instantly knew that he was not of devoid of energy but devoid of vitality and virility.

Agis Stirlander suddenly noticed the two and awkwardly chuckled.

He approached the two of them, slumping his shoulders, "What can I say? They sucked the vitality out of me?"

Davis just laughed while Evelynn pursed her lips, wondering why this man made such vulgar statements in front of a woman, especially a married woman.

"You still haven't gone to the Everlasting Apothecary Sect? Remember, one's health is always important!"

Davis blinked and had the urge to say that the appointment wasn't for him but didn't so in the end, "I'll probably head there tomorrow or a few days later."

"Alright, just don't delay too much. That said, I feel so tired! I'm gonna rest the whole day!"

They then chatted for a while before they parted.

======

The Alchemy Convention finally ended on the seventh day.

Agis Stirlander exited the gates and left towards his residence, feeling a little bit drunk as the last Banquet held was a little over the top. He wobbled through the streets and eventually returned to his residence.

It was a small-sized residence and has towering walls that covered the entire residence.

A guard instantly noticed him and opened the five-meter tall gate, letting him enter.

"Welcome back, Master!" The guard greeted him as he went on one knee.

Agis Stirlander nodded his head with an idiotic smile and pa.s.sed the garden, walking on the narrow pathway.

The cultivator's garden is different. There were no normal plants and flowers. All of them were filled with heaven and earth energy naturally and artificially nurtured with Spirit Stones.

None of the plants and flowers in this garden were at Mortal Grade. The worst is at Low-Level Earth Grade while the best is at Mid-Level Sky Grade.

As much as one could see and smell the fragrance, the entire pathway of the garden leading to the outer courtyard will leave one in admiration and respect.

Suddenly, Agis Stirlander froze as his eyes widened.

He looked towards the side and saw a silhouette appear from the dense foliage of the bushes. The bushes shook and the figure of a man in a rather stately purple robe was revealed to him.

Long blue hair, calm eyes, a straight nose, and thin lips. He had calm facial features that also defined his demeanor to be one of serene.

Agis Stirlander's pupils dilated when he saw the figure and he instantly kneeled down when he saw the person approach him.

"Your Highness! The Thir..."

Agis Stirlander instantly shut up when he saw the other party place his index finger over his lips.

"To what do I owe the pleasure, your Highness?" Agis Stirlander gulped as he asked. He instantly circulated his essence energy and dissolved all the spirit alcohol content flowing in his blood, becoming sober and fully awake.

If Davis was here, he would definitely recognize the person with the stately purple robe as the one from the portrait of the Southeastern Region Lord, the Third Prince, Alexi Ethren.

Agis Stirlander had no idea why the Third Prince would suddenly visit him!

"Don't be so formal... This is just an informal visit. I have a favor to ask of you." The Third Prince spoke in a calm and soothing tone.

"Your Highness! The debt I owe you is as heavy as the mountains! Without your help, I never would've survived and successfully entered the Law Dominion Stage!"

"Not to mention that without your teachings, I never would've returned to my roots a few years ago and brought my son's family back to this place with your grace!"

"This old life of mine is yours to command..."

Agis Stirlander echoed with a sincere expression on his face, a little servile as well.

A gentle smile appeared over Alexi Ethren's lips, "What do you mean old life? You're just eighty years older than me and I've just reached three hundred and twenty-one years old. We're young according to the standards of cultivators."

Agis Stirlander awkwardly chuckled, "That is... Your Highness, when compared with your life, mine is just as equal to trash that is lying beside the outer walls of the Royal Palace."

The Third Prince chuckled, "If I go by your logic, then wouldn't I be just trash compared to the Conferred Queen who has newly arrived in the capital?"

Agis Stirlander's lips trembled, "Your Highness! I didn't mean to..."
