Divine Emperor of Death

Davis then engaged in the transaction and sold the Pill Recipe. 

The Low-Level King Grade Alchemist paid him 400 Mid-Level Spirit Stones grudgingly and bought the remaining set of ingredients and concocted the Citrine Cloud Talon Pill and verified that the Pill Recipe was authentic on the spot. 

As a result, Davis gained 14 High-Level Spirit Stones out of the transaction which if converted to Mid-Level Spirit Stones, could be more than 14,000 Mid-Level Spirit Stones, possibly reaching 42,000 Mid-Level Spirit Stones or more depending upon the exchange rate.

However, Mid-Level Spirit Stones can in no way compare to High-Level Spirit Stones in terms of effectiveness. After all, only the High-Level Spirit Stones and above are able to support Law Dominion Stage Cultivators to increase their cultivation.

Hence, it could be said that Davis had made a profit of the Pill Recipe. In any case, he wasn't interested in making and selling pills since he had just wanted to get an identity for himself this time.

This transaction was just icing on the cake.

'14 High-Level Spirit Stones, plus the 5 High-Level Spirit Stones from the spatial ring of the Grand Elder's loot exactly replenished the amount of High-Level Spirit Stones I had used to fuel the Earth Dragon's Abode when I used it in the Grand Sea Continent.' Davis wryly thought.

However, he felt that it was worth it.

That enormous spending had put a smile on the faces of his loved ones after all.

After asking the correct date of the Alchemy Convention and its specifics, he left the Thousand Pill Palace Branch and returned to the residence.

However, once he entered, alarm bells rang all over the residence, indicating that an intruder has arrived!

Davis momentarily narrowed his eyes before he wryly shook his head... because he knew that he was none other than the intruder, 'Looks like Princess Isabella bought the new formation I requested for...'

After the false alarm went off, Davis thought of playing a prank on them as it tickled his whimsical side but he saw that no one came to look for the intruder except Princess Isabella.

"You came back..." Her lips curved imperceptibly as she pointed over to a small pillar in front of the entrance that wasn't there before., "Make your energy flow within that recognition pillar. The Peak-Level King Grade Formation should then recognize you as a member."

She then threw a jade token plate to him which Davis caught in his palm.

"You can also make yourself the master of the formation with his token plate, hence, you no longer need to make your energy flow within that recognition pillar."

"Thanks!" Davis echoed as he beamed back at her, "What are its uses?"

"Upon finding an intruder, it can automatically unleash a sealing formation at the intruder, however, I haven't activated this function yet since you were outside."

'Oh, she was waiting for me? Hence, she only activated the detection formation?' Davis nodded his head and asked, "Only these two?"

"No, it can also activate a defensive formation over the entire residence, capable of defending against the attacks of Peak-Level Seventh Stage Cultivators. However, I tried using my Earth Dragon's Destructive Sword on it and the barrier caved in two strikes... Hence, I concluded that it is not capable of defending against attacks of Peak-Level Seventh Stage Cultivators who are closer to breaking through to the Eighth Stage."

Davis nodded his head. He didn't doubt Princess Isabella's words.

Some stores would've definitely let their formations be looked at and tested by the customer. It was especially so if the manager recognized that it was the Conferred Queen who was browsing their store.

So he didn't find it strange.

As for Princess Isabella's prowess, he knew that it should be near Eighth Stage as he had witnessed the finals of the Conferred King Tournament.

Her two strikes with the Peak-Level King Grade Sword and her own prowess combined to create a power that is at the Eighth Stage.

He also wasn't worried that Princess Isabella's two strikes would've damaged the formation because it is impossible to truly destroy the formation unless the formation plate is destroyed. What got destroyed by the two strikes was the defensive barrier and not the core of the formation which hosted the three formations.

Generally, the formation plate which is the core would be quite hidden from plain view, making a normal cultivator incapable of finding it.

Davis lifted his feet off the surface and flew closer to her, "Excellent, you've purchased a great formation. What is its name?" 

"..." 

Princess Isabella blinked, "Regal Unbending Eyes Formation..."

"I'll see you later then..." She turned back and left.

Davis who had covered half the distance between them stopped mid-flight. He blinked and looked at the waving edges of her robes, wondering what he had done wrong to make her leave.

'Oh, is it because she is angry that I made her purchase the formation?' 

'Indeed, it had probably cost twenty percent of her entire wealth to buy this Regal Unbending Eyes Formation. It is only her right to be at least upset at me....'

However...

If given a second chance, he felt that he would ask her to do the same!

After all, the safety of his people was one of his top priorities.

Davis shook his head and suddenly thought of something.

'Speaking of formations, I forgot about the spirit formation scrolls which Old Man Garvin gave me...'

Unfortunately, he didn't have the time to learn spirit formations with all he experienced in the past. The time he spent with Evelynn wasn't something he regretted, but relished it.

Those four years made him feel alive, further motivating him to reach the apex so that he could maintain the status quo, or perhaps even stand above all!

He pursed his lips returned to his building, wanting to see her face.

======

In the kitchen, Evelynn eagerly cooked for Davis with a smile on her face. She dipped a cup-spoon on the Tiger Bone Soup and scooped it and tasted it with her tongue as she took it to her luscious lips.

*Slurp!~*

She inclined her head and felt that the taste was rather great than the last time she cooked. Feeling that it was enough, she waved her hands and the soul flames that cooked all the other dishes disappeared.

At the same time, a hand suddenly wrapped her waist in an embrace!

Evelynn widened her eyes in shock before she felt the familiar feeling from the person behind. She heaved a sigh and smiled happily before it turned wry, "Husband, don't do that... Don't hide that mark I placed on your soul. I might accidentally poison you..."

Davis lifted her up as if she weighed nothing and twirled his legs, swinging her around in his embrace. He ignored her latter sentence and laughed, "Haha! Then how can I startle you like this and see your reaction? You're just too cute!"

Indeed, Davis had placed a soul mark on Evelynn and had her do the same, so even if an illusion or some kind of mystery appeared between them, they would be able to recognize each other. However, it wasn't impregnable as illusions could still confuse them.

"Mhm~" Evelynn pouted in embarrassment, "Even though I realized that your soul mark disappeared from my senses... I know you were going to do something like this... but I let my guard down while cooking..."

Davis blinked and then grinned, "You were expecting this to happen somewhere in your heart, weren't you?"

Evelynn avoided his gaze as her cheeks faintly blushed.

Davis rather felt entranced when he saw her expression. He reached his lips for her earlobe and lightly bit on it, making her squeal.

*Ahn!~*

Davis took her earlobe into his mouth and twirled it as he played around, licking and tickling her senses.

Subconsciously, Evelynn narrowed her eyes in pleasure and felt her body go limp in his embrace.

Davis felt her body warm up even more. He smelled her unique aroma along with the delicious dishes in front of them, but she alone invoked his appetite further.

He let go of her earlobe and turned her face to him. Her amorous face looked as if it had already melted in pleasure.

"I'll eat you first then..."

Davis lewdly smiled.
