Divine Emperor of Death

Dalila Leehan came back to herself as her eyes darted around in hate for a second before she abruptly lifted her gaze towards him, and daringly opened her mouth.

"Its value can equal a High-Level King Grade Pill's price, but you have to prove that this pill is what you say it is! If not, I'll only pay for what it's current appraisal denotes, the price of a Low-Level King Grade Pill!"

"Fair enough..." Davis took back his provocative expression before he turned to look at the burly Yahu again.

He stretched out his hand to the right and all the pills that Grand Elder Lloyd Alstreim and Elder Belias Alstreim held returned to his hand without interference. The latter two weren't shameless enough to keep it with them, but they possessed disappointed expressions on their faces when it left their hands. It was as if they just let go of their daughters to be married off to a talented young man.

Davis reached out two of his fingers to clasp one pill before he threw it towards Yahu.

Yahu captured the reddish- pill with the swipe of his hand and turned the palm towards his face as he opened his hand. From this close, where the pill was just inches away from his lips, he could finally sense its potency.

'How deep... Its presence is actually limited to a tiny range, meaning that the leakage of this pill's essence is almost negligible. No wonder the Elders of the Alstreim Family didn't seem to notice that it is a King Grade Pill... Moreover, when stored, it could actually survive for a million... no! It can survive more than ten million years!'

Yahu became in awe of this pill when he gave a closer look at deep analysis! In his with eight thousand and five hundred years of life, he had seen many pills up to the Peak-Level King Grade, and even a few Emperor Grade Pills. Hence, he knew how to judge them even though he wasn't an alchemist.

His knowledge about pills would not be up to par with an alchemist, but as an elder who had lived his life roaming out before settling down, his miscellaneous knowledge might very well exceed them!

Yahu gave one last look at Alchemist Davis, etching his youthful face into his memory before he instantly sat on the stage in the lotus position and popped the pill into his mouth without any kind of hesitation!

The pill shot down his throat and settled right around the mid-dantian before the essence of the pill started to spread! Yahu was just about to suppress the essence of the pill before he was suddenly taken aback, his mind filled with shock.

'This... This is not a berserk-type pill!???'

Sensing the potent of the essence, although it was not gentle, he could feel that it was only mildly violent! It was still within the limits of what he could handle!

A kind of hope suddenly lit up in him as he frantically started to circulate his Body Tempering Cultivation Manual! The essence of the pill was quickly guided by him with a bit of difficulty, but he was certainly able to carry it all without wasting even a single bit of it!

It crashed into his meridian points as it flowed through his meridian pathways, but that wasn't just it! It seeped into his muscles, veins, and bones, making him undergo a qualitative change!

All of this happened in five short minutes that the martial energy that swirled like a typhoon around him started to undergo a massive change in quality!

*Hymmn~*

A low hum echoed before his martial energy arose like a tide, totally transforming into a martial might that leveled against the Grand Elders who were present here!

Yahu's white hair reverted into lush black. His burly body didn't have much of a change, but the old wrinkles over his face certainly did disappear. He came to possess this vagabond look but possessed a muscular body, making him instantly popular with the ladies who would like to be pressed down by an enormous body!

Everyone became shocked while staring at him, reveling in both disbelief and excitement! However, they were quickly flabbergasted as they saw Yahu... actually shed tears!

A burly man shed two drops of tears from his eyes, but when he opened his eyes, everyone could see that light of confidence shone like a bright star!

Yahu felt a bit, no, quite overly emotional.

Unlike people who had just entered the Peak-Level Martial Ascendance Stage, he had practically remained at that level for over a thousand years without any visible hope to step into the next stage, Martial Master Stage, even though he had peaked in his level, just lacking that one step.

That one tiny step... Even with those breakthrough pills produced by the Thousand Pill Palace, he had never been able to cross that tiny step!

But now, he had practically breezed through it!

He knew it was all because of that single pill! His gaze settled on Alchemist Davis as he stood up, but his body suddenly bulged as he clasped his hands with a huge thud!

"Yahu thanks esteemed Alchemist Davis for giving me this precious opportunity to be the Pill Warrior of this pill! Many thanks!"

Davis didn't seem to have an opinion towards Yahu's gratitude, but he turned towards Dalila Leehan and raised his arm, his palm moving with a symbolic money-asking gesture.

"Where's the payment?"

Dalila Leehan didn't react. She still seemed to be in disbelief over the fact that her Protector really had managed to accomplish a breakthrough, and that too in a short five minutes! Nevertheless, considering the time Yahu stayed at that level, she didn't find it suspicious, but instead, she found it ridiculous!

A person who had stagnated for a long time practically had no hope due to many reasons such as lack of talent, hidden injuries, lesser foundation, heart demon, and whatnot?

Yet, her Protector Yahu, who had all these to a particular level, didn't even take much time but was able to instantly breakthrough!?

For something like heart demon, it could be attributed to Yahu's soul prowess and willpower, but for others, only the pill could have attributed to this breakthrough!

Dalila Leehan slowly turned to look at Davis, and at the same time, the others were frantically waiting for Dalila Leehan to respond so that they can hurriedly curry favor with Alchemist Davis!

"Are you going to give now or later?" Davis prompted like a loan shark.

Dalila Leehan understood that she had spaced out! She blushed like a red apple, her cheeks becoming crimson in embarrassment before she had the urge to hide her face with her palms. However, she controlled herself and waved her hand.

An instant burst of heaven and earth energy brushed over the faces of the people present here before Davis received a colorless triangular-shaped, palm-sized crystal fragment into his palms!

"A High-Level Spirit Stone Vein Fragment... A good price, although it is a little. Nonetheless, good work on proving that my pill is authentic with your Protector." Davis smiled as he raised one of his blonde brows in a teasing manner before he sent a soul transmission.

"Regardless, you owe me now..."

Dalila Leehan blushed hard that she actually stomped the stage with her long legs and hatefully harrumphed, but it came off as charming. She no longer looked at Davis but stared at the skies, perhaps feeling frustrated that she completely lost.
