Chapter 265
After he failed to concoct a High-Level Sky Grade Pill several times, without batting an eye, he turned his attention over to cultivation .
Since he had a lot of time to refine and make his cultivation stable, he thought of breaking into the next level of Essence Gathering Cultivation .
So, he used up a several hundred Low-Level Spirit Stones and reached Peak-Level Revolving Core Stage, only a step away from reaching the Body Transformation Stage .
Then, he took his chances and tried to break through into the Gold Stage but it proved futile even before he started .
He figured that it might take a year or more for him to walk that step once he actually tried .
Plus, he took his chances with Soul Forging Cultivation but that ended in failure too . He didn't use Elder Severin's Soul Essence to breakthrough because it was just too wasteful as it was a Mid-Level Elder Soul Stage Soul Essence .
Evidently, he painfully understood that as the cultivation stage increases, it takes more time for him to make it stable and robust enough to experience having a breakthrough .
He decided that it was almost time for him to start hunting down souls for the improvement of his Soul Forging Cultivation .
After all, he knew that his Soul Forging Cultivation can't be impeded because he possesses Fallen Heaven .
Plus, he had already possessed the knowledge of Soul Forging Cultivation which he gained from Old Man Garvin's teachings .
All he had to do was reach the bottleneck and digest on the insights and contents that he had in his knowledge .
However, he actually understood that even though he wouldn't be impeded, it doesn't mean that it would help him stabilize his Soul Forging Cultivation, nor increase his foundation .
That's why he needed knowledge in all fields of cultivation . More wealth meant that he could purchase more books to increase his knowledge!
That's why before hunting, he needed to put this pill profession of his to good use!
. . .
Davis gradually woke up after a long sleep of three days . His Soul Force was fully restored and he felt well-rested as well as refreshed .
Trying to concoct High-Level Sky Grade Pills for several times had exhausted him to a great degree .
He donned on the alchemist robe and went outside after leaving the residence in Natalya's care .
The reason he could leave without worrying about Natalya's safety was because he had bought a Mid-Level Sky Grade Defensive Formation, which curbed almost all Fifth Stage Cultivators from breaking the barrier .
What if Sixth Stage Cultivators attacked? He wouldn't have a chance to save her even if he was near unless they were weak in Soul Forging Cultivation .
Straightaway heading to the Thousand Pill Association, he entered the majestic structure with ease .
Like the last time, he spoke to the receptionist about the examination, but this time, he inquired about the Mid-Level Sky Grade Examination .
The receptionist answered all his questions professionally, even though she deemed that the other party couldn't possibly complete the examination .
The receptionist mentioned that there were three sections of the examination, unlike the lower level examinations .
The first test was a written test, followed by a test where one should tell the ingredients used in the pill and obviously, the last exam was to concoct a pill of the required grade .
Davis sighed thinking that it was a drag .
After this, the receptionist excused herself to inform her superiors of a candidate who was present to take the Mid-Level Sky Grade Alchemy Exam .
Davis stood in front of the reception when suddenly his eyes caught hold of a figure that he was all but familiar with!
Davis and Tina Roxley both looked and noticed each other at the same time, their expressions quite taken aback .
A moment later, he smiled wryly as he saw her walk towards him with a teasing smile on her face .
'It was a careless mistake . . . ' Davis berated himself .
He presumed that this woman probably knew that Mister Scythe and the man in VIP room 17 was the same person . She belonged to the Roxley Family and had numerous methods to check on him, even though he disguised himself .
Still, the only thing that the Roxley Family and she didn't figure out was his identity as a young man .
Tina smiled as she stood in front of him, her grin seemed to say that he messed up big time .
Her slightly V-shaped face adorned with a pair of sharp amethyst eyes, a small nose, and sweet lips made her look quite charming, to say the least .
Although she was blindingly beautiful, Davis was irked inside as he thought, 'This woman even followed me to this place? What exactly have I done to her? Why won't she leave me alone?'
He even doubted that this woman had set up people to monitor him, placed around his residence .
"This can't be a coincidence, right? It can be only said as fate . . . " Tina slightly raised her brows as she uttered, her eyes emitting a complex gaze .
Davis replied back in that deep voice he got used to, "Miss Tina, there's no need to go this far, right?"
Davis straight away drove into the matter, not mincing his words .
Tina's grin left her face, replaced with a look of confusion .
Just before she could reply, the receptionist came back with an elder who looked middle-aged and quite haughty .
The elder didn't even bother to look at Davis when his eyes suddenly got hold of another figure, "Oh! If it isn't Junior Sister Tina!"
"Junior Tina greets Senior Brother Wade Renfield . . . " Tina slightly bowed and uttered .
"Miss Tina, you have come! You can take the Low-Level Earth Grade Alchemy Exam you have requested for . . . " The receptionist spoke after, grinning with a resplendent smile .
Tina nodded her head, "Thank you, I'll take the exam as soon as I'm done here . . . "
She turned her head and looked at Davis, "I'm sorry, we can talk at a later time since I have an exam to complete . . . "
Davis just nodded his head, just watching her leave the reception .
He stayed silent for a while, incredibly embarrassed! If one were to take his mask off, that person would see a bright red face painted with embarrassment in front of them .
He didn't think that she was truly here for another purpose!
Davis felt like he had lost face, it was truly a blunder on his part but the good thing was that Tina didn't seem to mind anything about his question .
'Thankfully, she brushed it off probably because of this person . ' Thinking so, Davis turned to smile at Elder Wade, whose face was quite ugly at the moment .
