Divine Emperor of Death

Unknown Territory, within a hidden estate in a particularly well-known, vibrant, and prosperous city, a silhouette seemed to be enveloped in flames as it sat cross-legged in a hall, but it didn't seem like the flames were harming it. Instead, the scene was as if the figure was being sheltered around softly by the flames, like how the fabric would be wrapped around a baby.

The figure's chest protruded, making it curvy, and from this, it could be seen that the figure was a female.

In front of the female figure was a three-meter tall and two-meter wide cauldron that was inscribed with numerous tortoise patterns such as the Black Diamond Tortoise that possessed a shell that was made up of shiny black diamond. There was also a Scorpion Tail Tortoise, which had the stinging tail of a scorpion but was not poisonous, and even one of the Flame Essences known as the Earth Tortoise Flame was etched on the cauldron.

Underneath this cauldron was six flames that heated up and refined the ingredients that were in the cauldron into one. At this time, the cauldron continuously shook as if it were going to explode before it gave a low hum and settled down as the flames receded.

The female figure stood up as the flames covering her also receded, leaving her features out on the open, visible to the beholder's eyes, if any were present.

Amethyst pupils adorned her eyes and willowy black eyebrows, a small yet straight nose, and cherry lips appeared on her exceptionally sculpted face. Black hair draped over her purple alchemist robe, and it almost did nothing to hide her bountiful curves as they were unabated. Her entire appearance screamed mature, but she was also reserved and refined with a look of confidence on her face.

Drops of sweat ran down her forehead as she heaved a breath. Her bountiful bosoms also heaved along with her before she took a handkerchief to wipe off the sweat from her forehead. Her movements were elegant and pleasant to watch.

She opened the lid of the cauldron and saw that there were six to seven pills, with the seventh pill being charred. It was a trash pill. She threw it away along with the dreg that was at the bottom of the cauldron and took the six refined pills.

Four of them were Crude-Tier Pills, but at least they were better than that trash pill. Another one was a Normal-Tier Pill that made the female figure heave a sigh of relief. However, one of the pills was glowing brightly, and the female figure could discern that it was an Advanced-Tier Pill.

Observing the Advanced-Tier Pill put a smile on her face as she opened her lips, "The Two Cauldron Flames Technique, although it uses more essence energy, it truly allows the user to control the flames to a higher degree, making me capable of refining at least a single Peak-Level Sky Grade Pill whose quality is at Advanced-Tier."

At this time, there seemed to be two figures who walked into the hall that the female alchemist stayed in to concoct pills. They didn't stop to ask for permission and just walked in like they owned the place.

Looking at the approaching figures, the female figure didn't get angry, but her eyes lit up, and a wide smile appeared on her face, "Master!"

"Hahaha! You've truly reached the peak of what I could impart to you in alchemy, Tina!"

A middle-aged man with a slightly youthful countenance. Lush black hair fell to his neck. He wore an alchemist robe that possessed seven stars. The seventh star was incredibly dull, displaying that this person is a Low-Level King Grade Alchemist.

"No, I still have many things to learn from you, master!" Tina echoed.

This woman was none other than Tina Roxley of the Roxley Family, situated in the Xuan Empire of the Tripartite Alliance Territory.

The middle-aged man ruefully shook his head, "With just your Low-Level Law Manifestation Stage Cultivation, you managed to successfully concoct a Peak-Level Sky Grade Pill, and what's more, it is an Advanced-Tier Flame Advancing Pill that considerably increases your comprehension of Fire Laws to Level Three Intent. With this, you will be yet again successfully able to advance in the law comprehension of Fire Laws."

Tina Roxley happily yet hastily replied.

"This achievement is due to the Mid-Level King Grade Flame Essence, the Earth Tortoise Flame gifted by my master, or else, I wouldn't dare to take this achievement as mine completely. The Flame Essence raised my comprehension to Level Two Intent of Fire Laws, so it can only be said that my current achievements are due to master!"

"Stubborn child..." The middle-aged man reprimanded, "But don't worry. I, Brandis Mercer, your master is also improving in the unending and eternal profession of Alchemy."

A few static undulations spread from his body, but that caught Tina Roxley wide-eyed.

"Congratulations on breaking through to the Mid-Level Law Dominion Stage, Master."

"Sheesh, don't congratulate me. It's too embarrassing..." Brandis Mercer laughed.

Tina Roxley shook her head, "Since master has chosen the path of tri-cultivation, it is inevitable that you would lag in terms of higher cultivation base when compared to others of the same age."

"Ai, don't mention it. I know my real talent, and without the benefits and the achievements that I gained from alchemy and the Thousand Pill Palace in these two thousand and five hundred years of my old life, it would've been really difficult for me to reach Peak-Level Mature Soul Stage." Brandis Mercer looked quite humble, but his heart was proud.

Despite his slow progress, he had reached Low-Level Law Dominion Stage, Peak-Level Martial Ascendance Stage, and Peak-Level Mature Soul Stage. He followed the path of tri-cultivation from a young age where he had no one to rely on. All he could do was start from humble beginnings and climb up the ranks, slowly yet steadily, and just a while ago, he broke through to the Mid-Level Law Dominion Stage.

"Excuse me... You two, master and disciple, seem to forget that a Mystic Diviner is gracing your lowly statures!" Another middle-aged man with an arrogant demeanor suddenly interrupted.

His eyes and brown looked sharp, and he wore a white robe and a mantle that made him seem incredibly grand and pompous. His expression looked arrogant, but it relaxed before he laughed out loud.

"Ah!"

A fist landed on his gut, making him bend his waist as he looked at Tina Roxley, "Aiya, martial niece. You can't treat your uncle master like this..."

Tina Roxley giggled and took back her fist, "If I can't bully uncle master, then who can I bully?"

"Sigh, your uncle master has no choice but to suffer..." The white-robed man wryly shook his head.

"Brother Aurelius, you're too easy on my disciple..."

"Tch... Who are you kidding? You're the one who is pampering your disciple, Brother Brandis."

"Says the one who gave half the wealth I needed to get the Mid-Level King Grade Flame Essence for my disciple." Brandis Mercer harrumphed.

"Heh! Unlike you, my Mystic Diviner profession rakes me in wealth like no other! I have tons of Spirit Stones to spend!" Aurelius sneered.

"Stop, you two! As soon as there is something to disagree on, you two start to fight like wildcats." Tina Roxley reprimanded, and the two became silent before they secretly laughed.
