The courtyard had 2 bedrooms.
Adrian took one while the two kids shared another.
Their servant John would sleep in the living room.
It also had a concealment formation which was important to Adrian. He didn't want anyone to know he was practicing alchemy.
After finally settling down, it was already evening.
John went to get their meals while the kids went to take a bath.
Adrian was also a little tired and decided to take a shower as well.
After everyone had freshened up, they had dinner together.
Both Olivia and Jayson were finally excited to have proper meals.
All they had been eating for the past two months were roasted meat.
Adrian was amused watching the two kids stuff their faces with food.
When they were done, everyone retired to bed for the night.
Tomorrow was going to be a brand new start for them so they were all looking forward to it.
After putting the kids to bed, Adrian finally went back to his room. As he sat on his bed, he began to take inventory of his possessions.
He had about 100,000 low-grade qi stones.
For an ordinary person, this would be a staggering amount but for the heir of one of the great families, this was simply pitiful.
Alchemy was a path that required money.
The price of herbs was certainly not cheap and a large amount of resources were needed to nurture a single alchemist.
He brought out Melvin's storage ring from the blood star and started to inspect it.
After being killed, the seal on the ring was automatically broken which saved him some effort.
Inside the storage ring, he found a sizable amount of rank 1 herbs. These herbs were the most common and basic herbs used to practice alchemy.
He also found a few rank 2 herbs. Among the rank 2 herbs was a box.
Adrian could guess the content of the box.
He brought it out and opened it to find the rank 3 silvereye grass.
He wasn't too surprised as he had already guessed the contents of the box.
Rather, his gaze fell on the herb as he picked it up and admired its dazzling silver.
He finally knew where it got its name from as his gaze moved to the leaves on the stem.
The shape of the eyes was distinct as they looked as if they were staring right back at him.
He put the grass back into the box and kept it inside the pendant.
He peeked back into the storage ring and his gaze finally landed on the thing he was the most excited about.
He brought out the cauldron and stared at it with an excited look in his eyes.
It was a peak silver rank cauldron that was covered with runic inscriptions.
This was what he has risked his life for and it seemed like it was well worth it.
He even thanked alchemist Melvin in his heart and promised to use it responsibly.
He put it in the pendant and returned his attention to the storage ring.
He could only find some books on alchemy as well as about 20,000 low grade qi stones.
He wasn't surprised at this since he knew that Melvin had probably spent most of his fortune on the silvereye grass.
After taking inventory, he decided to finally rest as he laid down to fall asleep.
Adrian woke up bright and early as usual and went outside to do some exercise and practice his techniques.
He was going to start his alchemy training today and he wanted to be in peak condition for it.
After about an hour of practice, he went inside to take a shower and freshen up.
By the time he was done, Jayson and Olivia were already awake and were waiting for him in the living room in order to have breakfast.
John had already started to prepare their food earlier and it was soon served to the three siblings.
After the meal, he took out one of the books from Melvin's storage ring and browsed through it curiously.
It was a book detailing the basics of alchemy for beginners and telling them everything they needed to know to get started.
