The Genius Mage Chapter 24
Advertisement
If the young members of the clan were all useless trash, then even if the clan was strong now, it would definitely decline in the future.
Any faction with a long history placed the cultivation of the younger generation first.
Therefore, the moment the level 10 alchemy potion was released, it immediately stirred the hearts of all the major factions in Spark City.
Even if it was only a bottle of level 1 potion, even if it was useless to cultivators above level 11, its value still surpassed ordinary level 2 and level 3 potions.
In the Davis family, Kaki rushed into the house and looked for his father. "Father, a bottle of level 10 potion appeared in the auction. Moreover, it's a breakthrough potion. Have you heard of it?"
Kaki's father was a middle-aged man named Houston. He looked like he was in his forties. His eyes were sunken, and his nose bridge was high. His face was three-dimensional. It could be seen that he was very handsome when he was young, even now... he also had the aura of a handsome and mature man.
Such an outstanding appearance gene. Unfortunately, his daughter Kaki did not inherit it.
Kaki's appearance could only be said to be average. She was far inferior to Audrey. This was probably one of the reasons why she liked to target Audrey so much.
Kaki said excitedly, "Father, the effects of that level-10 alchemy potion are too powerful. However, if I were to obtain it, I would be able to break through to become a level-8 or even a level-9 fighter in a short period of time. If that's the case, I have hope of becoming the number one genius in the family.
"Father, if I become the number one genius in the family, it will also be of great help to you.

"Father?" Kaki looked at her father with great expectation. In the family, the relationship between father and daughter or father and son was the closest. The interests of the two were one.
If Kaki became the number one genius of the family, her father Houston's position in the family would also rise. If he wanted to compete for the position of patriarch, he would have a greater chance of winning.
This was because the number one genius of the family represented the future of the family. Therefore, this point held a very high weight in the family.
On the other hand, if his immediate children were trash, and he did not have any other outstanding descendants, then even if he had already taken the position of patriarch, he would not be able to sit still. So sooner or later, he would be replaced by someone else.
Audrey, for example, was a typical example of the opposite.
Due to her incompetence, Calder had run into walls all over the family and was in a dire situation.
Kaki held her father's hand, her eyes filled with anticipation. That bottle of level-10 alchemy potion was something that could change her fate. She really wanted it.
Houston said somewhat helplessly, "Dear daughter, father can understand your feelings, but I'm afraid it'll be challenging to bid for that bottle of level-10 alchemy potion."
If it were possible, he would definitely want to obtain that bottle of alchemy potion. This was a temptation that no one could resist.
However, it was precisely because of this that it would be extremely difficult to obtain it.
"Right now, everyone in Spark City is focusing their attention on that bottle of level-10 alchemy potion. This includes the number one family of Spark City, the Cameron family. They represent the official faction of the Empire's City Lords, the Carol Association, which represents the dark forces. Even the forces of other cities have rushed over to participate in the auction after hearing the news."

"Although your father has some financial resources, it will be very difficult for me to win that auction for a bottle of level-10 alchemy potion."
Houston sighed softly. As the elder of the third branch of the Davis family, he held the resources of the entire third branch in his hands. In terms of financial resources, he was certainly not weak.
However, this time was different. His competitors were not ordinary people. They were all people with great backgrounds.
It would be difficult to compete with them for the level-10 potion.

An encounter which would spark a chain of events that would irrevocably shape the world around them. That young lady’s name is Rosalind. This is her story. Disclaimer/Trigger Warnings (Please Read!) THIS WORK WILL MOST LIKELY CONTAIN BOTH HOMOSEXUAL AND INCESTUOUS UNDERTONES. IT WILL ALSO HAVE OCCASIONAL DESCRIPTIONS OF GORE THAT CAN GET REASONABLY GRAPHIC. PLEASE DO NOT READ THIS IF YOU ARE UNDER THE LEGAL AGE IN YOUR COUNTRY TO CONSUME SUCH CONTENT AS MENTIONED ABOVE, OR IF YOU ARE TRIGGERED BY HOMOSEXUALITY, GORE OR INCEST. Notes on Relation to Lily Ex Machina While this story is intended to be a sequel to my first work, Lily Ex Machina (LxM), I will be writing it in a manner that does not require readers to have read LxM to understand it. While having read LxM will likely enhance your enjoyment of this work(I hope), I am intending for this story to be able to stand on its own legs. As such, certain worldbuilding elements that I have expanded upon in LxM will likely be repeated in Seeking Elysium(SEly). As such, for newcomers, it should not be an issue to follow this story without prior knowledge of LxM. On the other hand, for my returning readers, I do beg your forgiveness for forcing you to read through stuff you already know. I’ll do my best to try and make it interesting, but no guarantees of success, I’m afraid. On the other hand, if you’re a newcomer to this series and enjoy SEly, I do hope you’ll take the time to read Lily Ex Machina as well, if only to get more information of the backstories of some characters. Update Schedule I will only post completed volumes on RRL; if you would like to follow the story while it is ongoing, you may do so at my website. I update twice a week, on Wednesdays and Sundays. Supporters on my Patreon get access to chapters a day earlier.
