Although outwardly Leyvi praised Layla, inwardly he was quite skeptical. After all, the place in front of them right now was a museum. It was the largest museum in the Holy Cat City, The Land Before Time Museum. Leyvi chuckled when he saw the name. Who gave it such a long name?
Did Layla bring him here because she wanted a date? He doesn't see how a museum could have a hint about Alchemic Formula. Maybe there's a map that could point to a location where he could find some Alchemy Legacy like what happened to the three famous Alchemy Families? Leyvi's eyes brighten up.
Leyvi and Layla entered the museum through the grand entrance. The entrance was adorned with intricate carvings depicting the scenes of how the Holy Cat City came about. A carving of a majestic-looking cat surrounded by many smaller cats could be seen on the top of the grand entrance.
After the entrance, they reached an area with a large glass atrium serving as the centerpiece of the museum's exterior. Through the artistically designed glass, natural light flooded into the main foyer, creating a welcoming and awe-inspiring atmosphere.
"Wow, they must have spent a lot of effort on this museum." Leyvi praised as he walked into the interior building. Leyvi had never seen a place with so many artistic details.
Walking through the foyer, Leyvi and Layla saw many huge demonic beast skeletons suspended from the high ceilings and detailed descriptions with realistic drawings about the history of the demonic beast below it.
Leyvi read some of it and understood that all these huge demonic beast skeletons were once the great enemies of the Holy Cat City. They were at least at the General-level Demonic Beast equivalent to a Soul Formation cultivator. Leyvi was shocked. No wonder they were so huge.
General-level Demonic Tiger. It has awakened the bloodline of the White Tiger Auspicious God Beast, a mythical creature depicted in many historical writings. Unlike ordinary lower leveled Demonic Tigers, the usual orange and black stripes of fur on its body turned into orange and white.
The white fur was pristine and shimmered with a faint celestial glow under the moonlight. Adorning its white fur are intricate patterns resembling celestial constellations or swirling clouds. These markings signify its awakened White Tiger bloodline, suggesting divine origins.
Its eyes were a striking icy blue, glowing with an otherworldly luminescence that pierced through the darkness. They convey both intelligence and a hint of the ancient wisdom associated with celestial beings.
As a demonic beast that had awakened its bloodline, it no longer solely relied on its physical capabilities to fight, but also on special magical abilities granted by the bloodline it possessed, making them extremely powerful.
This general-level Demonic Tiger was once infatuated with the majestic demonic cat of the city's founder before it was rejected and held a long grudge toward the founder's demonic cat. A few hundred years later it came back with an army of demonic beasts consisting of 12 commander-level Demonic Beasts and thousands of high-level Demonic Beasts to attack the city.
A huge war occurred between the Human Cultivators and the Demonic Beasts causing massive destruction to the area surrounding the the Holy Cat City. In the end, the human cultivators won the war and all the demonic beasts that attacked the city were exterminated.
"This demonic tiger was so fearsome!" Leyvi exclaimed after reading the description. What made Leyvi speechless was the fact that the demonic cat's love story was the trigger for this huge war. Leyvi also criticized the demonic tiger in his heart for being so petty. Even if a cat rejected you, can't you find another female feline?
Leyvi went back and read the part mentioning the bloodline. A demonic beast can awaken their bloodline and gain magical abilities? Not only that, their appearance also would change when the bloodline awakened. Interesting. Leyvi wondered if his spirit beasts could awaken their bloodlines too.

When Leyvi used his spiritual sense at the Demonic Tiger's skeletons, he could feel the immense power still contained within it. "It's been so many years but the energy inside was still vigorous," Leyvi commented.
"Ahaha, this brother, do you feel tempted to steal this skeleton? If you can refine the energy within those bones, your body will be much more powerful." A young man suddenly stood next to Leyvi and interrupted Leyvi's focus.
The handsome young man was in his early twenties, with a lean and athletic build. He had shiny black hair flowing down to his shoulders, and his piercing green eyes seemed to see through any deception. He was wearing an elegant black and red flowing robe, decorated with flame-like patterns around the shoulders, with a black and gold sash around the waist further emphasizing his well-built body.
With a single glance, based on his clothing, Leyvi could tell this person was probably someone well-known from some famous place. However, Leyvi wasn't someone who knew people like this.
"I would be lying if I said I wasn't tempted, but action has consequences, I don't want to be on the receiving end of those consequences," Leyvi said after he was done observing the young man beside him.
The young man was stunned by Leyvi's honesty. Usually, people would pretend not to have that kind of thoughts.
"Hahahaha! I like your words. My name is Lin Wei, I am from the Longevity Academy." Lin Wei introduced himself while he elegantly brought out a beautifully designed folding fan and started fanning himself slowly, looking noble and amicable.
Leyvi's eyes shined. This is it! This is the image of a young master he has in his mind! Thank goodness there's actually a young master who knows how to behave properly. What a minute, he said he was from an academy, he didn't say he was a young master. Oh no.
"Are you a young master of some famous family?" Leyvi asked, hoping for Lin Wei to be a young master.
"Hahaha! I am indeed a young master of the Lin Family but I came from the East Region so my family wasn't well-known here. I came to the South Region to study alchemy at the Longevity Academy." Lin Wei confirmed Leyvi's hope.
Leyvi nodded with a smile. Good good good! It doesn't matter which family or which place you came from as long as you are a certified young master of a famous family.
"Ah, excuse me, I forgot to introduce myself. I am Leyvi Leyan, a nobody from a small sect in the south and this is my wife Layla Leyan." Leyvi was so busy thinking about the young master thing, he forgot to introduce himself.
"She is your wife? Haha. Sorry brother Leyvi, I thought she was your secretary or assistant at first." Lin Wei was honest.
"You are not wrong, she is my wife but she is also my secretary or to be precise, my family's manager!" Leyvi proudly said.
"Your family? But just now you said you were a nobody. Are you actually a young master of a big family too?" Lin Wei was curious.
"No no no, I am not the young master, I am the Master of the Leyan Family. I used to be an orphan, but now I have three wives and established my own family, the Leyan Family. Someday, our family will be famous too!" Leyvi wasn't shy about saying it loudly.
Some people in the surroundings mocked and laughed at Leyvi while talking to their companions, saying Leyvi was one of those delusional people thinking he could become one of the big families.
Lin Wei was stunned. Everyone could establish a family or a clan, but countless had disappeared without being able to rise. Even his family struggled for a long time before finally rose to prominence. However, for some reason, his instinct was telling him what Leyvi said might come true.
"Hahahaha! Brother Leyvi, I sincerely believe that one day you will achieve that. When that happened, don't forget that I, Lin Wei was the first one who believed in the Leyan Family." Lin Wei declared.
Leyvi liked Lin Wei more and more. Not only did he behave like the young master that he had imagined in his mind, but he also didn't look down on him for expressing his goal or his status.
"Are you alone? A young master like you should have someone protecting right?" Leyvi asked.
Lin Wei smiled. "I am alone. I am a young master, but not the favored one. That was why I studied in the South Region. However, you don't need to pity me, because I'm doing very well in the academy, and now I am one of the representatives participating in the Alchemy Conference!"
"Brother Lin Wei, I might still have to pity you!" Leyvi sighed and said like it was serious.
"Oh? Why is that?" Lin Wei was intrigued.
He didn't think he deserved any pity. He had a fate-changing encounter a few years ago so his progress has been extraordinary. After some time, he would return to his family again and shock them with his new achievements.
"Because my first wife, Anda Leyan will be the winner of the Alchemy Conference!" Leyvi bragged.
