Chapter 1074 Gifts Received

"Alchemist Davis... If this Undaunted Purple Lotus Petal is a High-Level King Grade Ingredient, then doesn’t that mean...?" Ravalat Alstreim was unwilling to admit defeat and wanted to know the reason why Alchemist Davis would react a bit shaken to the inferior ingredient.

Davis perfunctorily smiled, "You are better off without having to know the reason, but I do dare say that just a petal of the Undaunted Purple Lotus doesn’t amount to anything special. It should be equal to the gifts you two presented."

Both Ravalat Alstreim and Kayan Alstreim smirked in acceptance. As two fellow leaders, they hated losing the most!

In the back, Weiss Alstreim chuckled a bit, not minding being equalized with these two. However, it would be a problem if Alchemist Davis rated his gift any lower. He didn’t mind the intricacies and just laid back over his seat, his eyes roaming around the beauties who sat around the hall,

Indeed, the Undaunted Purple Lotus Petal could be ranked equal to the Implacable Light Fruit and the Cloud Fang Grass. Davis didn’t even know if the petal he was given were an upper-tier, mid-tier, or a lower-tier petal. However, since Weiss Alstreim claimed that it is one of the five petals, it should mean that the petal he gave should be part of the upper-tier.

Following the three of them, another person arrived in front of him.

It was none other than Kayale Alstreim.

Kayale Alstreim’s expression was rather stiff; her cheeks were blushing from both embarrassment and shame. It wasn’t like she had never given gifts to people before, but this marks the first time she was trying to gift to a romantic target and that to someone who happened to be three times the lesser age as her.

While she was feeling confident, now that she stood in front of him and everyone’s gaze was concentrated on her, she felt her face heating up like the flames she conjured.

"Al!- A-Alchemist Davis! I have brought a g-gift to congratulate you!!!" She extended a jade box and deeply bowed to hide the embarrassment caused by stuttering.

While many people snickered, the members of the Burning Sea Brigade wore shocked expressions on their faces. They never expected their fierce vice-leader to have a side like this!

After all the scoldings and lashings she had given them, she seemed to have been finally tamed.

Somehow, they felt betrayed.

Davis amicably smiled as he accepted the jade box and opened it. A purplish arm-guard appeared in his view. It had intricate white-lines marking it, making it give off a sense of security.

He blinked as he raised his head to look at the still bowing Kayale Alstreim, "Is this a Peak-Level King Grade Protective Artifact?"

"Yes... It is able to defend against the attacks of Peak-Level Law Dominion Stage Cultivators..." Kayale Alstreim visibly blushed as she saw his musing expression. Her lips trembled a bit, wanting to know the answer to her underlying intent but noticing that he didn’t understand the significance, she secretly gestured to Kayan Alstreim.

"Haha, Alchemist Davis. It seems you have managed to earn the beauty’s admiration."

"Mhm?" Davis let out a confused sound.

Kayan Alstreim explained, "In the Alstreim Family, whenever a woman gifts an arm-guard to a man, particularly a Protective Artifact, it means that she has agreed to become that man’s woman."

"Oh, it is quite similar to how a mortal woman would present her man with a protective charm..." Davis nodded as if he understood.

"Uh... Yes..." Kayan Alstreim felt a bit embarrassed.

Now that Alchemist Davis actually mentioned it, he could find the similarity, but that wasn’t the point! He had made it clear that Kayale Alstreim is prepared to become his woman, but Alchemist Davis still hadn’t said anything about it!

Meanwhile, Davis felt a headache coming his way. He was looking for a way that he could politely decline, but looking at the shy and expectant face of the woman in front of him, he knew that he would have to trample on her feelings.

It was inevitable that he would offend by turning down a beauty’s favor, but since he had the upper hand in status, they would not likely pursue him even if he offended her.

Indeed, Kayale Alstreim remained expectant of his next few words, thinking that she would be accepted than any other woman present over here.

"In summary, you are saying that you want to become just like me?"

A melodious voice suddenly echoed.

Everyone’s eyes swiveled lightly as their gaze landed on the person whom they thought less of, a woman who was nothing more than decoration but poisonous. They wanted nothing to do with this woman, and initially, they were a bit startled but annoyed and upset to see her in the first place.

After all, her presence here meant that she would make it difficult for the women here. It was inevitable that she would make it difficult for the ones who had coughed up so much wealth to earn Alchemist Davis’s favor.

Evelynn had spoken up as she looked at Kayale Alstreim while the latter’s expression froze before she became her usual self.

"So what if I do?" She stood up straight and stared at Evelynn.

Evelynn smiled as she gestured, "You can please wait by the side until everyone finishes handing over their gifts."

The atmosphere quickly became tense.

Kayale Alstreim coldly stared at Evelynn as she felt provoked. However, knowing that her prospective beloved was looking at her, scrutinizing her actions, she calmed down and turned back.

She returned without saying a word.

The atmosphere returned to being normal. However, the character who remained invisible in their eyes was no longer irrelevant. Since Alchemist Davis did not stop her or put her in her place, it meant that she was being given utmost importance, just like rumors stated.

Somehow, the women present here became vexed. They felt that these were the worthy ones to be seated beside Alchemist Davis, and even though they had their beauty similar to Evelynn, they looked at her like she was some ugly woman, mostly because of their preconceived notion towards poison practitioners.

Since it was known that Evelynn practiced Poison Laws, she appeared more revolting in their eyes.

Nonetheless, almost everyone came forward to congratulate and gift him. Almost everyone present in the hall came forward to personally hand him their congratulatory gifts.

Ivy Redwood Silk.

Tempestuous Mist Flower Shard.

Great Sky Orchid.

Cherry Mantled Lingzhi.

Evergreen Tide Dark-Stone.

Jade Thorn Bamboo.

Disguised Golden Leaf.

Davis became high with joy as he received them one by one. After all, everything he got was free with no strings attached. They were the ones trying to please him, not the other way around.

It wasn’t just main ingredients like these, but he also received many supplementary ingredients! It could be said that his path to High-Level King Grade Alchemist was settled in stone with these people financing his training progress.

It was just that he lacked the necessary details to learn the content above Mid-Level King Grade Alchemy but mused that he could somehow purchase it from the Alstreim Family if he gave them enough incentives or schemed as he did with these youths, taking advantage of their greed.
