Chapter 99 - Meeting The Elder
"What actually happens in the Alchemy and the Artifact Manufacturing Peak?" This was the thing that Davion was interested in. As for the other peaks, he didn't bother about them.
"As the names suggest, pills and artifacts are forged over here. You should know that to forge them we need a proper environment with a good quality of flames. All these conditions are fulfilled over here, so these two Peaks are responsible for them." Stella explained.
"It looks like I can buy pills and artifacts from here if everything goes well." He thought.
"So, what's your name? I forgot to ask you," She asked.
"Davion." He replied.
"Good name. As for mine, you should have already heard it earlier." She smiled
"Indeed," Davion nodded.
She then came closer to Davion and looked at Ryland who was on his shoulders and said, "I've been curious about this beast for some time. Can I touch it?"
She was about to touch one of his heads with her right hand when suddenly his red head bit her hand.
"Ouch! Why is it so aggressive?" She immediately pulled back her hand.
"Ryland, stop." Davion stroked his head and smiled, "It looks like he doesn't like you."
"My God! Don't tell me that Ryland holds a grudge against every girl after the incident in the Wild Northern Forest." This was what Davion was thinking right now.
"Davion, your beast is quite strong." Stella felt some pain in her hand.
"Hehe.." Davion didn't know how to react to this. So, he simply laughed it off.
In a few minutes, they finally reached the foot of the mountain. There were steps made from rock that went all the way to the top. The most surprising thing was that the aura of Heavens and Earth here was more concentrated than outside.
"This is the Core Disciples Peak where only the Core disciples live," Stella said with a voice full of longing as everybody wanted to be a core disciple in the future.
While climbing the steps he saw many courtyards on the mountain. They were covered by a dome that looked like a defensive formation. On the way, he asked, "Why is Elder Lilianna staying on this Peak? You had just said that there is a different Peak for the elders."
"I don't know much about it. The only thing I know is that she doesn't have a good relationship with the elders. There might even be some disputes between them. Thus, she didn't want to stay over there. But who knows?" She replied.
Davion nodded his head while he tried to use his Mind-Eye to see through these domes. However, he was disappointed that with his current level of Mind-Eye he couldn't see past them. It looked like these formations were set up by someone above the Golden Core Stage.
Half an hour later, they finally reached the top.
Stella then reminded him, "Elder Lilianna should be inside the courtyard. You can see her inside. But I suggest you wait outside. It will be rude to go in just like that. Even though there is no spiritual formation over here, she might have already sensed us with her Divine Sense."
"I understand." Davion nodded.
"It's good that you understand. Even though I don't know who you are and why you are here, I hope that I can hear some good news from you. I will be waiting below.
"Thanks." Davion earnestly thanked her.
"Good Luck." She waved her hands and left.
Davion slowly proceeded towards where the courtyard was. He saw a field full of flowers and herbs containing strong spiritual energy. After a while, he saw a white-colored beautiful courtyard in the middle of the field. As Stella said, he didn't see any formation here. But he didn't enter inside but rather stayed outside while watching the scenery.
A couple of hours passed by and the Sun was about to set. Davion was already feeling bored but he still stood there waiting for the Elder. Ryland had already taken a short nap and now he was eating spirit stones. This was one of the strange things Davion had found about him. Ryland not only ate beast cores, devils but also spirit stones. He even tried feeding his spiritual energy, but Ryland immediately passed out after taking it.
From this, he was sure that his spiritual energy was a unique type of energy that never existed in this world. It might not even exist in other worlds.
While he was thinking, he heard a calm female voice coming from behind.
"A Twin-headed dragon with a Royal Bloodline. Not only one but two."
"What?" Davion was shocked as he didn't feel anyone even with his Mind-Eye. So, he turned back and saw a beautiful middle-aged lady in white robes standing there looking at him. Especially Ryland who was on his shoulders.
The moment he saw her he felt that he had seen her somewhere as her face looked quite familiar to someone he knew. He racked his brains and finally remembered who she looked like.
"Leyla?" He muttered.
