Chapter 1043 Where Can I Find...?
"Insolent!" That woman who spoke earlier rose and waved her sleeves, causing her twin peaks to tremble, "Don't you see that this room is only for women? Didn't you see the sign placed on the outside?"
"Let me spell it for you... Men... aren't... allowed... here!"
The white-robed person took a step forward regardless of her yapping and walked towards a woman who seemed to be astonished by his presence.
"You! Do you want to die!? You dare offend my Burning Sea Brigade!?" The woman went stumped in anger that she started to spout threats.
The white-robed man finally stood in front of the woman who sat alone in the corner and looked at her as his eyes flashed with a strange light.
"Sophie, Alchemist Davis is outside..."
"What!!!?"
The voice of disbelief echoed from the pompous woman, while the sudden news dumbfounded Sophie Alstreim. The next moment, she came out of her reverie and spoke, "What you are saying... is it true, Claudius?"
Claudius Alstreim nodded his head with a solemn expression on his face, but it was replaced with a wry smile, "But Alchemist Davis headed towards a private room with two women... Ah, one seemed to be his magical beast, and the other his wife who controls Poison Laws according to a few others..."
"Poison..." Sophie Alstreim recalled learning that Alchemist Davis had two wives, one proficient in Poison Laws and the other wife in Ice Laws, and also rumored to specialize in Yin Laws.
The woman from the Burning Sea Brigade no longer spoke and seemed to take out a messaging talisman to confirm the veracity of the news. Quickly, her expression changed as she looked at Claudius Alstreim.
"The one who is called Claudius, where is Alchemist Davis?"
Claudius smiled before he pointed at her, not at her but behind.
That women's expression changed, "Doesn't this room belong to that pervert...? Gyren managed to earn Alchemist Davis's favor already!?"
Claudius Alstreim shook his head, "No... He initially seemed to have not even recognized Alchemist Davis and instead offended him at the inn entrance. Although nothing seemed to have happened to him, he seemed to be severely punished by the two leaders and kicked out."
The woman's expression relaxed before she sneered, "Serves him right! He knew that we were going to stay in this room and planned to harass us with a few others. Fortunately, Leader Kayan already knew of his plan and told us to stay put so that he could teach him a lesson!"
"But who would've thought that he would've offended someone he shouldn't!" That woman couldn't help but giggle in a musical voice.

"Hehehe... Let's dig in!" Once the dish server left a plethora of dished that dug on their voracious appetite, Davis licked his lips and started to partake in the feast.
The room was spacious, able to fit Nadia's natural form. With a single lick, she wiped clean the plates as she took it into her mouth, gorging on it and savoring it with fervor. However, the long table was full of dishes that seemed like it wasn't going to be exhausted at least for ten minutes!
Normally, a feast took time to prepare, but since there was already a feast going on, Davis quickly got the dishes he had ordered, and naturally, he ordered the entire menu except the dishes that granted sexual effects on him or them.
Fifteen minutes passed.
Davis lay on the couch by the corner, burping and easing his stomach with his palm as he felt full. The quality of meat that he had eaten belonged to Lord Beast Stage Magical Beasts, and it completely made him satisfied, making him feel full in utter satisfaction. Evelynn also relaxed beside him, occasionally licking her lips to savor the lingering spices that remained.
"Master... If Magical Beast learned to cook 'dishes' like these, how good would it be..."
Nadia dreamily relished and gave one last look towards the dish and noticed that there were remnant pieces of meat still there, but looking at the small size of it, she transformed into her human form before sinking her teeth into it bit by bit. She found this method of eating to be delightful as well.
Davis couldn't help but laugh at her.
As they were relaxing, a knock could be heard from their door.
Davis released a satisfied breath and moved his lips, "Enter..."
The door creaked open, and a near-breathtaking beauty entered his view. She wore a half-body fur coat that seemed to be made from fox fur over her humble yet tantalizing red robes that accentuated her features.
She entered and closed the door before bowing with her hands, clasped respectfully, "Jaisi hopes that Alchemist Davis enjoyed our inn's culinary skills that reflected in our dishes."
"It was indeed, perfect!" Davis didn't bother to keep up his demeanor as he slumped over the couch and gestured with a wave of his sleeves.
"Jaisi is honored to receive Alchemist Davis's praise." She then noticed that Alchemist Davis and the others hadn't touched any of their alcohols. She slightly narrowed her eyes before she spoke up, "If Alchemist Davis doesn't mind, this entire feast is on us."
"Is that fine?" Davis frowned, "Wait... You're the owner of this Inn?"
Jaisi Alstreim smilingly nodded her head.
"I see..." Davis continued, "But I'm sure that there were many dishes that had Peak-Level Lord Beast Stage Meat... Wouldn't it cost a few hundred thousand High-Level Spirit Stones?"
"Please accept this token of 'gracing us with your presence'." Jaisi Alstreim gracefully bowed again, "Your esteemed presence will allow us to attract more patrons in the future. If possible, we hope to serve you again~."
She sent a blue-colored token to Davis before it floated in front of him. A VIP Status Token of this particular Inn, meaning that he only needed to pay thirty percent of what he ordered or bought from here.
Davis nodded, "Then, I'll accept your token."
Grasping the token in his hands, he started to feel that being low-key would not allow him to enjoy these perks but instead, would sometimes bring him trouble. After all, if no one recognized him as a talented man from a 'powerful' background, people were bound to suppress him for no reason other than to show their force or status.
It was how the cultivation world spun, mostly receiving enjoyment from the misery of others.
"Esteemed Patron, do you need an additional feast? We can-"
"No need." Davis shook his hand before he asked, "Do you know where I can purchase authentic and high-quality King Grade Treasures like Pills, Formations, and Inscriptions, especially Spatial Talismans?"
Jaisi Alstreim became confused.
Does Alchemist Davis lack all these things?
'That's right!' She understood, 'Although the Dragon Queen may possess these things, Alchemist Davis wouldn't necessarily be in possession of all these...'
"Of course. All that esteemed patron mentioned can be found in the Verdant Alstreim Treasure House owned by one of the Grand Elders." Jaisi Alstreim politely explained and mentioned the way to the Verdant Alstreim Treasure House that was further west.
Davis politely returned with a word of thanks.
With just a nod of agreement to Ancestor Dian Alstreim, he could probably enjoy the unreserved attention and treasures of the Alstreim Family. However, Davis did not choose to tread in that direction as it goes against his ideals.
His reasoning was simple as he didn't want to owe the Alstreim Family. Jaisi Alstreim's small VIP Token was just her way of securing a future for her Inn. It didn't warrant him to reciprocate, but he would be required or expected to return the gratitude if he used the Alstreim Family's treasures. That's basic common sense and etiquette in the cultivation world.
Therefore, as long he upheld his ideals, he wouldn't act shameless and return nothing if he were to take treasures from the Alstreim Family.
"Also, where can I find poison?" Davis suddenly inquired.
"Uh?" Jaisi Alstreim let out a sound of incomprehension as her expression changed.
