Divine Emperor of Death

True Vitality Pill

A pill that is capable of enhancing one's current vitality up to four times if the person who consumes the pill is in the Gold Stage.

]

Davis laughed as his heart turned warm. That silly woman said that this was her gift to him and proceeded to hide the information and property of the pill to him.

He could see her wish of wanting him to live a long life.

But was that truly the case? He remembered that one's vitality was also connected to one's sexual prowess.

At that time when she gave him this pill, she displayed a provocative gaze...

The moment he made the connection, his jaw dropped in shock. This was a blatant provocation!

Was she telling him that he didn't have balls to pounce on her or was she telling him that they should have a fulfilling erotic life in the future?

Or maybe... He had just truly been overthinking.

"Hmph..." Davis snorted. In any case, he had already decided to show her no mercy after marriage. 

He imagined that she would be like a cat covered in a sheet, not daring to come out to face the winter.

And the other pill he managed to come across was...

[

Diluted Sage Tree Pill Essence

A little bit of essence extracted from the Emperor Grade Sage Tree Pill. Capable of enhancing one's innate talent in laws to a certain degree.

]

Davis narrowed his eyes as he read the description. 

This pill was dubious as hell! But at the same time, he was astonished at its effects. He couldn't help but suspect its claims.

Unfortunately, the description didn't provide the source or the recipe of the pill, otherwise, he would be able to somehow verify its claim of being able to increase a person's talent in a certain law.

'Does that mean it grants a random law to that person? Or...' Davis thought but had no way of finding out until consumed.

Still, the name 'Sage Tree' gave him the feeling that the tree possessed the wisdom to an enormous degree.

'Maybe it's a tree like that mythical 'world tree'...' Davis thought as he moved on, not worried about the authenticity of the pill.

Since it was in the Immortal Inheritance, how can it be fake? He refused to believe so unless the Earth Dragon Immortal was evil or a scheming existence.

After he had found the three pills which Evelynn took away, he also came across some empty formations which he garnered that those treasures were taken away by the generations of the Ruth Family.

As for the treasures that were taken away, most of them were pills related to Body Tempering Cultivation, making it easier for the consumer to increase their cultivation above the Fifth Stage.

There was even some single drop of diluted Blood Essences in vials, placed individually in some formations.

Some of the formations which encased those vials were again empty, but he knew that those were also taken away by the Ruth Family members. 

There were even some Sky Grade Weapons which were taken away.

Ultimately, he couldn't understand a single thing about something.

'They possessed an entire arsenal of Sky Grade Weapons, had access to Sky Grade Body Tempering Cultivation Pills, even diluted Blood Essence which could instantly provide a boost to their cultivation base but they failed to reign supremacy in the Grand Sea Continent?'

Sure! They were feared and revered but with their overall prowess, he figured that they should've been able to rule the Grand Sea Continent with an inheritance in their backyard like this.

'Internal Struggle?' He mused. If so, then it would surely make sense for their failure or even the lack of ambition to conquer the Grand Sea Continent.

The Ruth Family had more than a thousand years of history. There should have been more than a hundred generations born into this family, so he could imagine the amount of unity or solidarity they had built even if they squabbled or backstabbed each other at one point.

There were even some rumors that Isabella Ruth's mother had been killed in a matter over an internal squabble. 

'Maybe it was true after all...'

As for the truth, he would have to ask her to know about it but wasn't interested in it in the first place to go out of his way to ask.

That would be just rubbing salt on her wounds if it were true.

After he rushed across the entire Sky Grade Treasury, he felt quite excited because he had managed to find 3 out of the remaining 6 ingredients that he would have to find for the Soul Emergence Pill.

One was the Evergreen Dusk Herb that he found in that Magical Beast Mountain.

The other three ingredients were the ones he found right here. 

This was an unexpected surprise! He didn't actually expect to find those ingredients in this place. They really had the same names and properties as listed in the pill recipe otherwise, he wouldn't have dared to believe that these were the same ingredients.

Although there was a slight difference in how the ingredients were cultivated, he garnered that it wouldn't make much difference since the resulting end effects were the same.

The three ingredients were in a sealed state, their potency not one bit lost from the time they had been sealed. Even the pills that Evelynn choose were sealed in a jade container.

Davis went around as he picked the three ingredients that were sealed in a jade container.

[

Pyro Scalewood Herb

An herb cultivated in the presence of the Flaming Eagle and the Pyro Scalewood Tree.

Has the effects of providing a potent increase to one's yang energy as well as one's vitality

]

[

Lunar Seed Fruit

The fruit gained from artificially cultivating the Lunar Seed with the corpses of numerous Yin Type Magical Beasts.

]

[

Enriched Sunflower Grass

The Sunflower Grass upon contact with the Sun's blinding rays during the hottest day of the decade gains the characteristics to heal the soul when used.

]

Once Davis collected all three ingredients, he didn't dare to open the jade containers afraid that their potency might be lost just by opening even for a little bit.

He carefully placed the jade containers inside his spatial ring and turned his attention to the other treasures that attracted his attention.

'Hmm... I still have 6 choices left here, right... I'll bring souvenirs for Father, Mother, Claire, Diana, and Edward... That leaves me with no more than one chance to choose a treasure...'

Davis considered if he should bring any others a souvenir while some figures flashed past his mind but decided against it.

His current mood was like he came to a foreign country to sightsee and buy souvenirs for his return.

In any case, it was just Sky Grade Treasures, and he still had King Grade and Emperor Grade Treasures to pick up.

Shaking his head, he went around and selected a few drugs... Oops... Pills that enhanced Body Tempering Cultivation.

In this place, he could see that Soul Forging Cultivation pills were rare.

As the Earth Dragon's cultivation method tended to be towards Body Tempering Cultivation, it had more pills related to that type of cultivation.

Once he procured the pills for them, he felt glad as his parent's Body Tempering Cultivation will increase from their bottlenecked state.

Despite knowing that he was not their true son in a sense, they poured him with endless resources like the diluted essence from the Sky Grade Tyrant Body Pill, and even the Fallen Extinction Lightning which the previous Loret Emperor died to eventually get his hands on.

If he couldn't at least give some to his family, then his words of caring for his family would just be nothing but a fart.

As for the last treasure, Davis held his chin as he thought a lot. There were too many treasures and he wanted to take all of it but the Earth Dragon told the inheritance was not his...

'What a stingy jerk...' Davis cursed for the nth time as he moved towards a location.

Once he arrived at the location, he took the item in the formation, causing the formation to automatically collapse.

======

"Since you already chose the nine treasures, move on to the King Grade Treasury." The Earth Dragon's voice echoed causing a Davis to snort in derision.

He went to the other end of the entrance and saw a huge bronze-colored gate blocking his way with Earth Dragon patterns etched all over it.

Davis thought that the little dragon which Isabella took care of would truly come to resemble the Earth Dragon's Image that was etched on the gate.

He moved forward and pushed the gate, making it let out grating sounds that would cause one to experience a headache.

Davis moved inside and panned his head all over the scenery in front of him.

It was too beautiful!

A garden spread out over the surface, entwining a huge land of flower beds and colorful trees with a pond in the middle.

Purple colored crystals shaped the surrounding scenery, reflecting off the colors from the illuminating crystal hanging above the cave ceiling.

The heaven and earth energy in this place were a few notches greater and purer than the outside world, even when compared to the Tripartite Alliance Territory.

To the far end of the left, Davis looked at the spread of spirit stones piled up like a mountain.

It's energy even flow towards slapping his face and nose with a unique smell.

Mid-Level Spirit Stones! 

Its shape was similar to Low-Level Spirit Stones but its size was a little larger, approximately finger-sized.

Not only were there Mid-Level Spirit Stones, there were more number Low-Level Spirit Stones which were thumb-sized in shape.

He sent his senses towards the mountain of Spirit Stones and his mouth bulged into an "O" shape.

Below the mountain of Spirit Stones, inside the cave ground opening were more Spirit Stones but that wasn't what made him stunned.

Numerous triangular shaped stone... no, crystal fragments spread out near the openings and even deep down over the ground.

Spirit Stone Vein Fragments!

These were the things that produced Spirit Stones!

There were both thumb-sized and finger-sized crystal fragments spread all over the place, each maintaining a certain distance from each other.

Although these were the things that produced the Spirit Stones, without a source they can't produce anything.

Deep in the underground, at the center of every Spirit Stones Vein Fragments was the source they the vein fragments needed.

A colorless finger-sized diamond-shaped crystal! The Spirit Stone Vein Core!

"Is this all mine?" Davis blinked as he asked out loud in a daze.

"No..." Came the answer which instantly dampened his mood. It was like a bucket of cold water that had been poured on his head.

"Ohh..." With a nod, he walked past the clear area where a circular diagramed formation was drawn on the ground.

Looking at the herbs, flowers, and trees that were all at the Earth Grade, his heart turned sour. 

With this, he would be able to prepare numerous pills which would enhance the loyal experts like the hidden protectors in the Loret Empire.

Shouldn't this all belong to him as a part of the full inheritance? Davis cursed the Earth Dragon under his breath again.

He came at the end of the cave and pushed open the doors again.

Entering it, he looked at the wide yet straight path that went towards who knows where...

He followed the route and saw the first formation and without any suspense, just as he guessed, it was a treasure, a King Grade Treasure!

Davis looked at the projection of a sharp-edged sword decorated with dragon patterns all over the body. Its handle was shaped to be a dragon's maw while the sheath also had dragon patterns all over it.

Below the formation was a description of the sword and its power. 

Davis couldn't help but lift his eyebrows in astonishment.
