Chapter 568: Agis Stirlander (1/2)
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 lust 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, competitions, group competition, mass competition 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 competition 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 competition, then he would just be embarrassing himself, perhaps not even able to clear the first round of the competition 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 Lustrous 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.
