"Alright . . . Teacher, how long you think I would take to learn your Alchemy skills?
" Davis asked in doubt as he really wanted to learn Alchemy as quickly as possible .
nAlchemist Highwood thought for a moment before answering his question,
"One year! One year would all you need to surpass me if your talent is high in alchemy . If not, then five years at best .
"
n
"Haha, I'm glad that my son is recognized by your esteemed self, Alchemist Highwood .
" Logan laughed and joined in the conversation .
n
"If I handed over such a talent to the Alchemist Association, that would be such a sin!
" Alchemist Highwood said calmly, but he was glad to have Davis for himself .
n
"Certainly!
" Logan agreed with him .
n
"Prince Davis, let us get to the basics immediately . First, before practical, is theoretical . I want you to memorize all this as soon as possible before we try our hand in Alchemy .
" Alchemist Highwood suddenly uttered as he took out a space ring from his space ring .
nDavis saw the space ring and thought . 'Looks like he is eager to teach me too .
"
nHe then took the space ring and quickly probed it with his Soul Sense .
n' . . .
"
nThe contents of the space ring were books, all books . Ranging from books recording information of herbs, pills and treasures .
nThere were also a lot of books on Herb Encyclopedia, Pill Creation Process and Techniques .
nThe Herb Encyclopedia included information on the types of herbs, their characteristics, their variants and even their general location . It also included on how to pluck the herbs without damaging it, and the other features one would have to know if they were aiming to be an alchemist .
nThe Pill Creation Process explained the process of creating pills with the herbs and treasures, while the Pill Creation Techniques explained how to create a pill using the certain technique .
nThere were more than a hundred thousand books that contained a lot of information . If a mortal were to complete reading these books, it was unknown how long would it take for them to complete it .
nSeeing the huge amount of books in the space ring, Davis's eye twitched .
n'I thought so, I have to absorb a lot of basic information about herbs and pill making . '
nDavis had originally planned on reaching the Fourth Stage in Body Tempering Cultivation, and the Third Stage in Essence Gathering Cultivation in a year, but it seemed like he would not be able to achieve it now without much hard work .
n
"I thank the Teacher for his guidance .
" Davis bowed .
n
"Don't fret it . These are all just the information on Herbs and Pills which are of Mortal and Earth Grade, once you're finished with that, come to me . I'll test you . If you pass, then I'll hand over my entire inheritance to you!
" Alchemist Highwood replied with fervour . He was actually honoured to have Davis as his student because Davis would reach greater heights than him soon enough .
n
"Thank you, Teacher Highwood!
" Davis said with gratitude .
n
"Haha, that's just my Alchemist title . Don't call me that, my name is Kevin Wood .
" Alchemist Highwood laughed .
n
"Alright, Teacher Kevin .
" Davis smiled but was a little irritated by the number of books that he would have to read .
n
"Haha, don't disappoint your teacher, Davis . Make sure to learn properly .
" Logan then left him with a mocking smile on his face .
n
"And where do you think you're going, my Emperor?
" Suddenly a female voice could be heard, but as it was familiar to Davis and Logan, they quickly recognized it .
nDavis had a gloating expression while Logan's face went pale .
n
n
n
"Alchemist Highwood, I hope that you also teach our Emperor about Alchemy . The Royal Family will then be indebted to you .
" Claire clasped her hands and bowed .
n
"Hmm? Emperor Loret doesn't know Alchemy?
" Kevin Wood turned to face Logan in shock .
nLogan had an embarrassed expression on his face .
n
"Don't worry Empress, what is one more student to me? I'll easily make the Emperor learn about Alchemy .
" Kevin Wood said as he looked at Logan with a weird expression .
n
"I thank Alchemist Highwood for his understanding . I bid farewell then .
" Claire said as she left while glaring at Logan .
nDavis and Kevin Wood then looked at Logan with pity in their eyes .
n
"*Cough* Well then, it looks like I am also one of your students, Teacher Kevin,
" Logan said as he accepted Kevin Wood as his teacher indirectly .
n
"Hahaha, call me senior brother, daddy!
" Davis couldn't hold his laughter in .
n
"Scram!!
" Logan shouted in embarrassment .
n
" . . . .
" Kevin Wood was speechless
n. . .
nAfter that, Davis went to visit his Mom .
n
"Mom, how have you been?
" Davis asked . In this week, he went to meet her a lot of times .
n
"What is this? You come here almost every day now . Why are you suddenly worried about me?
" Claire was surprised before noticing that he was acting strangely nowadays .
n
"Ah . . . that . . .
" Davis mumbled .
n
"*Sigh* Did your Father tell you?
" Claire's expression looked forlorn .
nDavis avoided her eyes before saying .
" . . . Yes
"
n
"Do you now hate me?
" Claire asked wryly as she looked at her son moving his gaze away .
n
"Impossible! I would never hate you!
" Davis screamed at her as felt sad in his heart .
n
"Mom! So what if you're an outsider? Even I am like a part outsider! You are my mother for all I care! That doesn't matter at all! I promise that I will remove that lousy seal from your soul! Just you wait!
" Davis yelled as he told his heartfelt emotions .
n
"My child! I'm so proud of you!
" Claire hugged Davis as she felt warm in her heart .
nShe abandoned returning to her place just for Logan . She abandoned her marital career just for him . She abandoned everything and followed her love . She didn't regret her decision until Logan hid her only child away for 3 years . Every day without him was hell for her . Her cultivation stagnated, thoughts went into disarray as she almost started hating Logan .
nAnd then her son returned . That moment when she saw a scrawny kid in the Royal Castle, she almost immediately knew that he was her son . At that moment, all her regrets and dissatisfaction flew away from her like a kite with its string cut .
nShe showered him with love and care, even pampered him a lot . And now she felt that he has grown up so much that she can now finally rely on him . She was feeling totally content with her life now .
nHer only regret was her martial career and her close ones who were on the other side . But for her love and family, she now felt that everything she did before was worth it .
