Chapter 249: Frivolous Purchases (1/2)
Alex walks into the building with the different formation items. Only after entering did he realize that he didn't know the first thing about formation. He realized that what he knew about formations from the books and hearsay didn't even crack the surface.
There were items around him that he didn't even know the use for. People were talking about stuff he didn't understand at all.
'Damn, I thought knowing that it was just putting flags and items in a specific order was all it was, but it seems even they themselves are very specific. This is not any less extensive than alchemy, huh,' he thought.
'Still, I need to buy at least the most basic formation blueprint and required items. I want to start learning with it,' He thought.
Although, learning both Alchemy and formations might have him spreading himself too thin, but he had planned to focus on Alchemy more than Formations, so that should be fine.
He bought a basic formation blueprint called the Qi Gathering formation. It was a common rank formation that gathered Qi from 5 spirit stones in 5 points of the formations and gathered it all at the center of it. It was a common rank formation that would be about 2 meters in radius at most.
'This should be a good starting point,' Alex thought. 'I should go learn some better formation books from the library here in the capital in the following days.'
After getting what he wanted, Alex walked out of the building. He looked around at the other buildings and thought, 'Now that I'm already here, it will be a waste to not visit the other buildings right?' he thought.
He went to the talisman building and bought himself a few pairs of communication talismans that could work up to 2 kilometers away. These talismans came in pairs and were always linked to one another.
'Shame it's not like a smartphone. I will have to take one for each contact,' Alex thought.
He then walked to the Weapons and Artifact building. He surprisingly found that there were a lot of things to buy here.
”Oh wow, these storage bags allow so much extra space. I should buy a few,” he thought as he looked at the various storage bags in the sale. They ranged from the ones he currently had to ones that had nearly 20 times as much space.
Although, those cost a lot. So, Alex only bought around 5 storage bags that were about 5 times larger in storage capacity. These would help him hold a lot more items in fewer bags. He wouldn't have to carry around nearly 10 different bags as he did right now.
He was also surprised when he found disposable cauldrons. These were much worse than the ones in Alchemy hall, and that was perfect for Alex who was looking to make random pills that might explode at a moment's notice.
They were also incredibly cheap, so he bought around 100 of these. He wasn't sure if that was enough or nor however.
The next thing he did was buy a Common Mortal grade sword and armor. They weren't cheap but were cheap enough for Alex who held hundreds of spirit stones.
