Chapter 62

"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 .

Alchemist Highwood thought for a moment before answering his question, "One year! One year would all you need to surpa.s.s me if your talent is high in alchemy . If not, then five years at best . "

"Haha, I"m glad that my son is recognized by your esteemed self, Alchemist Highwood . " Logan laughed and joined in the conversation .

"If I handed over such a talent to the Alchemist a.s.sociation, that would be such a sin!" Alchemist Highwood said calmly, but he was glad to have Davis for himself .

"Certainly!" Logan agreed with him .

"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 s.p.a.ce ring from his s.p.a.ce ring .

Davis saw the s.p.a.ce ring and thought . "Looks like he is eager to teach me too . "

He then took the s.p.a.ce ring and quickly probed it with his Soul Sense .

" . . . "

The contents of the s.p.a.ce ring were books, all books . Ranging from books recording information of herbs, pills and treasures .

There were also a lot of books on Herb Encyclopedia, Pill Creation Process and Techniques .

The 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 .

The 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 .

There 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 .

Seeing the huge amount of books in the s.p.a.ce ring, Davis"s eye twitched .

"I thought so, I have to absorb a lot of basic information about herbs and pill making . "

Davis 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 .

"I thank the Teacher for his guidance . " Davis bowed .

"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 pa.s.s, 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 .

"Thank you, Teacher Highwood!" Davis said with grat.i.tude .

"Haha, that"s just my Alchemist t.i.tle . Don"t call me that, my name is Kevin Wood . " Alchemist Highwood laughed .

"Alright, Teacher Kevin . " Davis smiled but was a little irritated by the number of books that he would have to read .

"Haha, don"t disappoint your teacher, Davis . Make sure to learn properly . " Logan then left him with a mocking smile on his face .

"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 .

Davis had a gloating expression while Logan"s face went pale .

"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 .

"Hmm? Emperor Loret doesn"t know Alchemy?" Kevin Wood turned to face Logan in shock .

Logan had an embarra.s.sed expression on his face .

"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 .

"I thank Alchemist Highwood for his understanding . I bid farewell then . " Claire said as she left while glaring at Logan .

Davis and Kevin Wood then looked at Logan with pity in their eyes .

"*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 .

"Hahaha, call me senior brother, daddy!" Davis couldn"t hold his laughter in .

"Scram!!" Logan shouted in embarra.s.sment .

" . . . . " Kevin Wood was speechless

. . .

After that, Davis went to visit his Mom .

"Mom, how have you been?" Davis asked . In this week, he went to meet her a lot of times .

"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 .

"Ah . . . that . . . " Davis mumbled .

"*Sigh* Did your Father tell you?" Claire"s expression looked forlorn .

Davis avoided her eyes before saying . " . . . Yes"

"Do you now hate me?" Claire asked wryly as she looked at her son moving his gaze away .

"Impossible! I would never hate you!" Davis screamed at her as felt sad in his heart .

"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 .

"My child! I"m so proud of you!" Claire hugged Davis as she felt warm in her heart .

She 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 h.e.l.l for her . Her cultivation stagnated, thoughts went into disarray as she almost started hating Logan .

And 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 .

She 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 .

Her 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 .
