Chapter 93: Meeting the Marquis (1/2)

Sam went back to the mansion and entered the divine dimension after he assigned the task of renovation.

He needs to open another business too. He looked at the all the crystal bamboo plants which he planted in various elemental zones. The next business he wanted to enter was the alcohol business.

He planned to enter this business even before his encounter with Zeke, now that he has one more reason and that is to, counter Zeke's restaurants he is thinking of making it completely large scale.

Sam checked on all the herbs he planted. They are completely mature by now. These herbs are the ones he bought in Falcon Cliff city. He planted all the live herbs to have get the stock himself.

But now he is thinking on how to proceed in preparing the liquor. He can prepare it with the herbs if he wants to. All the herbs he has are mostly the ones which will help a person to purify his body and reduce the impurities which will impact the cultivation.

They aren't the ones which will act as elixirs and help them raise the cultivation. But he is a little worried about the taste and thought that he should need use some fruits to make the liquor. But finding the fruits suitable for cultivation aren't easy to find at all. So, he must think of the issue later, but opening a restaurant isn't that difficult.

He went to the first-floor library and went to a corner section. This is a section named Elixirs and this included pill recipes, potion recipes etc. This doesn't include the techniques and fundamentals of these processes, but it only contains pure recipes and the actions to be performed to make the Elixir and at the corner of the section there is a divine will called 'Spirit culinary'.

Sam took in the information to go through the recipes of various dishes which uses meat of various types of magical beasts and spiritual herbs.

This spirit culinary is a way to make the required elixirs in cultivation through cooking. This is also more efficient than other ways like Pills and Potions, which might have some side effects. The risks are minimum with spirit culinary.

After all, a human being's health is best when it was managed by diet instead of medicines. Just like in modern world, if a person takes heavy medicine for every small ailment his bodily functions will be damaged.

Sam only came out of the tower at noon. He spent a lot of time just to digest the recipes. If he wants to practice it, he will have to spend a lot of time. Even though, he is good at learning, things like cooking are the skills which are honed with practice. He isn't an exception.

At the same time Marquis is in his court room. He just finished his morning meeting with the officials, and everyone just left. An attendant came and gave him a scroll containing the info on Sam. Even though, the Falcon Cliff city and Blue flame city are far from each other, he still has ways to get in contact with the Count Falcon.

And he found that Sam is from the Falcon-Cliff city? Because, Sam intentionally conceal his tracks. He left a big clue to investigate and that is buying the mansion as well as using the Golden- Horse trading company.

So, Marquis easily got the info and when he looked at this, he was quite surprised. A fifteen-year-old boy, at Novice level 1 and well versed in multiple professions, with a battle-prowess off the charts. He is a genius. That is the only thing that came to his mind.

After reading the info, he only felt even more anger towards his eldest son. He still didn't know what his son did to this genius to be offended to this extent.

Yes, he still doesn't know even after contacting the Count because, the latter didn't reveal Zeke's attack on the candidates to the Marquis.

He doesn't want to get himself involved in between the father and son.

Marquis opened another scroll which has info of Sam when he was still in Starwood city. When he saw the details about how he took revenge on the noble families by destroying the younger generation's chances of entering the academy, he felt even surprised. This 15-year-old genius is quite vengeful. And when he saw the news that he is orphan, he felt that he could get to stop Sam from his revenge.

After all, if the other party has a powerful background, he must think twice. But now that the other party is an orphan, who only entered the cultivation world recently, he can use some carrot and stick strategies to get him to stop. As for, how the other party learnt all his skills, he isn't very curious about it. There are all kinds of people in the world and a very high-level genius who can learn on his own might be rare but isn't impossible. So, he immediately sent an invitation to Sam.

When Sam received this invitation, he was just about to go out and buy some restaurants to get a place to start his business.

Watt brought the invitation over to him and when Sam saw that it was from Marquis himself, he smiled. Even though, he knew that marquis will find him, but he didn't that it would be this early.

The invitation stated that he is invited for dinner. Sam could guess what the Marquis is planning. Even though, he is a rank 5 Artisan. He is a scholar Artisan who is mostly important to the Artisan association and his cultivation is still far from marquis.

Marquis cannot offend him, but he also didn't have to curry his favour.

Sam smiled in amusement and sent back the message the he accepted the invitation, but he also mentioned that he would be bringing a friend.

After sending the messenger away, Sam went on his way. After buying the two restaurants in front of Zeke's restaurant, he went to his new bought weapon shops, where the three Architects are working. He took one of them back to the restaurants and explained him on how he wanted them to be renovated.

After explaining them everything and was done with his work, he went to the Artisan tower. He went to meet Chaya and when she saw him, she felt quite surprised.

”Didn't we just meet in the morning? Why are you here again?” She asked.

”I need your help with something.”

”Oh, what is it?”

”I am invited by marquis to dinner. I want you to come with me.”

”Why is he inviting you and why are you inviting me?”
