Divine Emperor of Death

"Esteemed patron, Xiao Meili is unable to give an estimate. It is Xiao Meili's fault."

Davis released a breath, "I see... It isn't anything to worry about, but do you know how much a Sky Grade Poison Essence is valued at?"

Xiao Meili hurriedly nodded her head, "A Sky Grade Spirit Attribute Source is usually valued at a higher rate, and the more valuable and rare it is, the more the price would be high. Since this Territory lacks Poison Essences, unlike the Poison Lord Villa Territory, we usually sell it at a price higher than the norm."

"So, a Low-Level Sky Grade Poison Essence would cost about the price of a High-Level King Grade Treasure...?"

Davis nodded his head in agreement. The price was right.

He wasn't hoping to find King Grade Poison Essences as he knew that they were incredibly rare and would be hard to find here. He would have better chances if he went to the Poison Lord Villa Territory in the north, but that would take too long.

Besides, Poison Essences were too dangerous. They are contagious and quick-spreading calamities that it might cause a widespread epidemic in the shortest time possible! Once poisoned, it would be difficult to find the required antidote that might save thousands and millions of lives!

Many powers outright prohibited to keep or sell Poison Essences because these malignant entities were too dangerous and would kill humans on sight! It was their instinct, and if they possessed a Will on top of that, it was said that Poison Essences were said to be crafty and deadly, making them terrifying entities to be dealt with!

Therefore, it was common that cultivators, especially top experts, would be sent to destroy the Poison Essences at the moment of their first sighting! They would additionally make sure none of the essences of the poison remains so that it doesn't return to bite them back.

Nevertheless, some people would still like to make a profit out of it, no matter how dangerous the matter they were dealing with ended up to be! Especially those cultivators at the Poison Lord Villa Territory. They love it!

In any case, since Xiao Meili seems to know nothing about Poison Essences, it looks like he would have to go and see what the Verdant Alstreim Treasure House had in store for them. Following her over to the fifth floor, they eventually reached a grand hall that seemed to be securely sealed with formations and experts guarding it.

A massive door blocked their path. It had the board [Spirit Attribute Source Hall] etched above on top of it in grand deep strokes, making one feel humble in front of it.

Xiao Meili brought them in and respectfully left as she bowed, leaving to call in another person who might be helpful in their purchase. Besides, she had her own worries. However, Davis stopped her and had her show them around as he didn't want to deal with another person.

Xiao Meili felt embarrassed and honored that she obliged and took them inside, "Xiao Meili will try her best to meet the expectations of our esteemed patron."

She had visited this place many times before on account of many customers wanting just to witness the majesty and grandeur of Spirit Attribute Sources. She had walked them around, mostly younger generation brats who spoke like they owned this place. Many had hit on her too, but they dared not go overboard considering the place.

Nevertheless, not one of them wanted to go near the disgusting Poison Essences that even she didn't go spare them a glance even though she had many chances to see them. She didn't want to have nightmares after a week of hard work's sleep.

They walked in the corridor, and over both sides, many doors were present, each leading to a particular and specialized room. All of the rooms seemed to be locked. However, there were see-through windows, a transparent kind of material that allowed them to see what was inside.

Davis and the others watched as they conversed.

In those sealed rooms, flames soared into the air, water flowed in a seamless manner without a ripple, breeze ran through while screeching, the dirt piled up as vitality grew, trees and branches extended towards the skies, blinding light caused one's eyes to squeeze, and darkness that eerily flew around in a hazy space appeared in their view.

Other than the Poison Essences Davis had wanted to see, he got to witness Fire Essences, Water Essences, Wind Elementals, Earth Essence, Wood Essence, Lightning Elementals, Light Elementals, and Darkness Elementals. They got to witness eight Spirit Attribute Sources!

Davis, Evelynn, and Nadia were in awe as they saw the Spirit Attribute Sources. Many of them were at the Earth Grade and Sky Grade, a few at King Grade. Their image was particularly striking that it caused them to be entranced with their beautiful and extraordinary image. It was utterly mind-boggling to them as they had never seen all of them gather in one place, locked up to be exact.

Davis particularly found that Wind Elementals were like beauties, taking form in women's shape, hazy and obscure as the wind.

Unlike the others, was that why they were called Elementals?

He read from ancient records before that it was derived from how the Sky belonged to the humans, and so the Wind Elementals would manifest themselves into humans. However, since there were also Wind Elementals in the form of magical beasts, many people debated whether if this argument was true.

Nevertheless, it was also true that Wind Elementals were majorly found to be taking the form of humans. It was the same for Lightning Elementals, except they weren't fond of taking the shape of a human but the punishing clouds and similar irregular shapes.

As for the Light Elementals and Darkness Elementals, Davis wasn't able to see through them as the light coming from them was too bright, or no light replaced with pitch-black darkness. The doors were sealed, so he wouldn't be able to send his soul sense unless he decided to penetrate them.

However, this part of the large building alone seemed to be further encased with Low-Level Emperor Grade Ores that made soul senses were stopped and deflected upon touch, even strongly rejected. Apparently, this kind of material was very hard to get that it cost a fortune.

It was said that a late Ancestor of the Alstreim Family built it!

These materials that made up the wall and the doors were applied in three layers, one inside and one from the outside, while the middle layer seemed to be made from High-Level Emperor Grade Ores that had the durability to withstand attacks from a Low-Level Ninth Stage Powerhouse!

This was all patiently explained by the gentle and adorable Xiao Meili.

Altogether, this didn't allow his High-Level Soul Sense to penetrate the walls in theory, but Davis was extremely interested to know that if his High-Level Supreme Soul Stage soul sense would be able to penetrate through the walls!

If it did, he knew that his prowess at this point would actually compare or be greater to an Eighth Stage Soul Forging Cultivator!

Seamless and undetectable soul sense extended from his soul sea, extending towards the walls.

But...
