Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 574 Ive Gravely Misunderstood

A silver token only allowed him to meet the Adler Graylock after a year? Isn’t this basically scamming?

Of course, he knew that there was the gold token above the silver but in no way would so many people have bought that right?

When he worded his doubts, the receptionist lady replied, "Mister, the Appointment Token works on a first-come, first-serve basis and depends on the color of the token. Hence, even if there’s plenty of people who used silver token and bronze token to form an appointment beforehand if a person with a gold token walks over, then all the other people would have to let that person first as per the rules of the Everlasting Apothecary Sect."

"If a second person with a gold token forms an appointment, then that person would have to wait until the person who came with the first token had his appointment or case finished."

"Of course, if the apothecary wants to personally see you, then the tokens don’t matter at all!"

’Such a privilege is given to the Apothecaries? It likely gives even more benefits, hence it still hasn’t fallen after who knows how long...’ Davis silently mused before he cursed in his head.

Numerous people battle every day and get injured lightly or critically but for healing the injuries completely, who would they consult? It was the apothecaries!

"Like this, there are a few people with golden token who wants to see Esteemed Apothecary Adler Graylock in this month after which the apothecary had notified that he would be traveling to another city for tempering outside half a year or so before returning which he would then deal with the newly accumulated golden tokens, followed by silver tokens and bronze tokens."

’So that’s why it will be a year before I can meet him...’ Davis finally understood this capitalistic and profitable system.

’Should I buy the golden token? But even then it would cost me a month to invite the apothecary...’

’Perhaps, I should try influencing Adler Graylock to personally welcome me? Nah, that would attract too much attention. Let’s just make him normally welcome me, as if he had taken interest in my appointment over for some reason.’

Davis thought on this and decided to do it once Apothecary Adler Graylock walks into his range of Karma Threads which could actually extend to 60 meters now.

When he first unlocked the power of Karma Threads, it could extend up to 50 meters but now, it only increased by 10 meters.

Davis pondered over this and really thought that this denotes that his comprehension over Karma Laws has slightly increased, and not the manifestation of the increase in his Soul Forging Cultivation.

If it were really the manifestation over the increase in his soul force, then he would really have to say that the increase in range was slightly disappointing.

"Haha! Davis, you’re here!"

Hearing a familiar voice, Davis looked at the entrance and saw that it was none other than Agis Stirlander.

Davis became slightly astonished to see this person in the Everlasting Apothecary Sect, however, when he saw what the other party wore, he recognized that it was none other than the Apothecary Robe.

Slightly similar to the Alchemist Robe in design, the Apothecary Robe was white in color and sported a wide collar along with a bunch of stars engraved on the collar.

Agis Stirlander similarly wore a white apothecary robe that had four bright golden stars.

"You’re an apothecary?" Davis asked in confusion.

If he was an apothecary, why didn’t he just say so?

"Yes!" Agis Stirlander laughed and asked, "You still haven’t met my teacher?"

"Teacher? You mean Apothecary Adler Graylock?" Davis asked before he finally understood.

"Yes..." Agis Stirlander looked at Davis in scrutiny before finally realizing the situation, "Is perhaps teacher busy?"

By the side, the receptionist lady answered, "Yes, Esteemed Apothecary Agis Stirlander. Esteemed Apothecary Adler Graylock has just put in a word that he would be traveling to another city, hence, all the silver tokens who are in waiting line of pushed back to half a year or so and no golden tokens of Esteemed Apothecary Adler Graylock will be sold after this time."

"This..." Agis Stirlander revealed an embarrassed expression at Davis before looking at the receptionist lady, trying to use a few loopholes.

However, the receptionist lady just kept saying that Esteemed Apothecary Adler Graylock has refused all appointments below gold tokens.

Just when Agis Stirlander was about to reveal that Davis was a Peak-Level Sky Grade Alchemist worthy of respect, he saw that Davis wore no such robe indicating that he was an alchemist.

This left him confused so he didn’t inform the receptionist lady that Davis was of higher standing than them. He even slightly thought if the other party was faking his Alchemy profession, however, it certainly didn’t look like that in the pill convention since Davis seemed to be well versed in the knowledge of pills.

He had witnessed Davis’s knowledge before his eyes, hence, he no longer doubted that the other party was faking it. Besides, the Third Prince told him that Davis could be a subordinate of the Conferred Queen.

He felt that it was highly unlikely for the Conferred Queen’s subordinate to act like a scammer. Hence, be brought Davis to a corner and spoke in a hushed tone, "Why are you not wearing your Alchemist Robe?"

"Don’t bother about it..." Davis refused to explain and asked, "What now?"

Agis Stirlander blinked, not knowing what to do. Other than his teacher, he knew none of the others personally in the Everlasting Apothecary Sect. Who was he supposed to recommend when only a certain few are skilled in treating privates, like his teacher?

He had a single chance to meet his teacher but that was only for him. He wouldn’t be able to recommend a patient...

Davis pondered for a moment before he asked, "Aren’t you a disciple of Apothecary Adler Graylock? Why don’t you help me treat that friend of mine?"

"Aiya, how can it be?" Agis Stirlander ruefully shook his head, "Although I am indeed well versed in treating privates as I’ve inherited a small amount of knowledge from my teacher, it isn’t enough to treat a person who is at the Sky Grade; Above Fourth Stage."

"The body of a cultivator has many intricacies and has minute yet billions of changes with every breakthrough in stages and levels. How can it be possible for me to treat you... Ah, I mean that friend of yours..."

Davis became exasperated when he heard the other party mention him.

"Did I say the treatment was for me? That person who is in need of help is at the Body Transformation Stage, well inside your area of expertise..."

Agis Stirlander became taken aback before asking, "The appointment is not for you?"

Davis almost had the urge to facepalm.

How many times does he have to say that the treatment is not for him!?

He calmed himself down and repeated, "The treatment is not for me but my friend."

Agis Stirlander froze before he awkwardly laughed and let out a dry cough, "In that case, I’ve gravely misunderstood which is fatal in the profession of Apothecary. As an apology, I’ll treat that friend of yours for free."

"No need, I’ll pay." Davis shook his head

"I insist." Agis Stirlander strongly replied.

Their exchange lasted for over a few times as if they were in a loop before Davis reluctantly agreed.

"... Alright."

He then gave the silver appointment token back to Agis Stirlander and headed back to his residence together.
