Anda asked Leyvi about the ancient alchemy formulas again, "How do you get them?"
Leyvi was silent. He stared at Anda.
"Why are you staring at me like that?" Anda was confused.
"Oh, I thought you wanted to ride me again. I was about to answer your question last time, but you got horny suddenly." Leyvi chuckled.
"Hehe, my dear husband is so good to me how can I not get aroused." Anda giggled.
"I found them on ancient stone steles in the museum. It was on display. After you went into the short seclusion, Layla and I have been looking for clues for higher-tiered alchemy formulas and the museum was the best lead she found." Leyvi said, pausing for a bit.
"Hehe, Layla is the best. Thank me for bringing you such a good and unique wife. Next time I'll bring more variety of women for you." Anda was proud of herself. Seeing many women with different personalities and quirks around her husband was interesting. And she didn't expect that such an interesting one like Nala would fall for her husband.
Leyvi was stunned. You want to bring more women? If we include Nala and the maids in the harem, nine women are already around me. Anda, my sperm bank is going bankrupt at this rate. Having a lot of women is great, but he felt a little guilty that he couldn't love them equally.
Leyvi continued his explanation, "At first I was skeptical, I thought maybe it was a fake or incomplete formula, but it was actually real. The reason why the stone steles were there was because nobody could understand them. It was in an ancient language." Leyvi looked at Anda with a sly smile after he said the last part.
Anda's eyes brightened, realizing the implication, "Universal Language! That's awesome!" Anda had heard about the ancient civilization too and that nobody was able to decipher the language.
Other people couldn't, but her husband could. This will be their biggest advantage to thrive as a clan. How amazing it would be if their family was the one who uncovered the secrets of the previous civilization.
Wait! One of the tier-4 alchemy formulas described an alchemy product that allowed its consumer to retransform their spiritual sense if they had missed the window of the transformation period right after becoming a Core Formation cultivator for the first time.
Was this referring to the spiritual pressure? There was a window of transformation period for that? No wonder most people didn't realize this. The past civilization even created a product to help other cultivators overcome this since it was that easy to miss it.
This is a piece of good news. If there are more things about cultivation secrets hiding inside the ancient alchemy formula, it would benefit them more.
"Hehe, husband, let's go for one more round. I have tasted a Beast Tamer Leyvi, I have tasted Gentleman Leyvi, I have tasted Goofy Leyvi, now I want to taste a Historian Leyvi!" Anda giggled and climbed on top of Leyvi again.
A few rounds later,
Anda was tired. She did it so many times tonight due to excitement.
Leyvi chuckled looking at his wife. She kept getting aroused in the middle of their conversation.
"After everything settles down later, we will travel the Cloud Continent to search for more ancient relics. Maybe we can find more alchemy formulas or discover other secrets for our family." Leyvi told her his plan.
"Yay! More adventure!" Anda cheered. She liked traveling and exploring the world. "However this time we need to buy a super fast and safe airship, in case we need to run away and more life-saving treasures and artifacts."
Leyvi nodded. What happened last time was still horrifying to think about. "I wonder what the aim of doing something like that was. Killing so many people."
"Let's not think about that right now. We should focus on growing stronger and making the family more prosperous. After we get stronger, we can come back and beat up the evil people." Anda said, stroking his chest.
The next morning, the sun was shining brightly as the Leyan family gathered for breakfast. The mood was cheerful as everyone recounted the events of the previous night, with laughter filling the room. Layla, who had been quietly sipping her tea, suddenly set down her cup with a clink.
"Husband, Madam Anda," she began, her expression calm as usual, "I have news regarding the Alchemy Conference."
Leyvi looked up from his plate, curiosity piquing his interest. Anda paused mid-chew, swallowed, and asked, "What is it, Layla?"
"The Alchemy Conference is just around the corner, and many of the most renowned alchemists from across the South Region have already arrived in Holy Cat City. The air is thick with excitement and tension," Layla replied, her eyes gleaming with anticipation. She couldn't wait to see Anda shine.
Leyvi leaned back in his chair, a piece of toast dangling from his mouth. "A lot of places must be full now. Good thing we came here earlier. Haha."
"That's right. But the famous cultivation clans and sects won't have that problem here as they most likely have properties here as many events were held here. They are wealthy and have been around for a long time after all." Layla explained.
"Should we buy properties here too? We already have one in Bara City, but we got that for free though." Leyvi asked.
Anda shook her head. "Although we are rich now, we are nowhere near the level of wealth of other families that had been established for a long time. We can buy a property here but we might start with nothing again. It's too expensive."
"Ugh, that would be a waste, no need then. It's not like we are staying here for long." Leyvi said.
"Husband, do you know the programs during the Alchemy Conference?" Layla asked.
Leyvi looked at her, "I don't know the details but isn't it just a competition for alchemists?"
"Not just that," Layla said, her eyes sparkling with excitement. "There are also auctions, special markets, exhibitions, and seminars where new techniques and discoveries are shared.
It's the biggest event in the South Region's alchemy world. It's where the elite of the elite come to showcase their talents and make connections. Competition between young alchemists is just a part of it."
"Oh? Layla, why do you seem more excited about it than Anda? Haha." Leyvi teased.
Layla blushed slightly, "Well, as the manager of the Leyan Family, I have to know everything regarding the event. Plus, I heard there's a business aspect to it too. It could be a good opportunity for us to expand our network and perhaps find new ingredients for Anda's alchemy."
Anda nodded in agreement, "Yes, that's true. I checked the alchemy formulas last night and we need many rare ingredients, we don't usually see in the normal market."
Lilian's eyes lit up at the mention of rare ingredients. "New rare plants! Maybe I can find some for my garden!" She sent an excited sound transmission to Leyvi, Layla and Anda, setting her spoon down. Her heart fluttered at the thought of discovering new species to add to her collection. Her garden was already a sanctuary for various exotic flora, but there was always room for more.
"Hahaha. Do you want more? The Metallic Durian wasn't enough?" Leyvi teased.
Lilian nodded eagerly, her eyes sparkling with the excitement of a child in a candy store. "More, more!" she sent through her sound transmission.
"I'll make sure to keep an eye out for any rare seeds or saplings during the special market. Who knows what wonders we'll find," Layla said with a smile, already planning their shopping strategy.
The door to the dining room swung open and in breezed Nala, always with her sexy self-made outfit. "Good morning, everyone!" she chirped, taking her seat at the table.
Now that Nala was here, Anda was reminded of the question she had last night. "Nala, can you use spiritual pressure?" She asked. Nala was a middle-stage Core Formation expert after all.
"Spiritual Pressure? What is that?" Nala tilted her head in confusion.
As Anda suspected, Nala didn't know about it. Anda turned her head to Lilian and said, "Sister Lilian, use it on her just a little."
Lilian nodded and focused her eyes on Nala. Nala felt a sudden pressure upon her body, and she tried to rebalance herself on the chair.
"Is-Is this spiritual pressure? I've felt this before. I thought it was a martial skill." Nala replied while still under the small spiritual pressure.
"It is not a martial skill, it is the enhanced ability of our spiritual sense," Anda explained.
"WHAT? Is that true? Why I didn't know about this?" Nala was shocked. She never knew any of this. This was an extremely strong and useful ability to have after all.
She had seen this ability once and the person who used it overwhelmed many cultivators at the same time. She who was far away watching could feel the strong spiritual pressure reaching her.
It was terrifying.
