Chapter 249: Frivolous Purchases (2/2)

'These should help me a bit. The sword can be used as a decoy during fights, and the armor will help deceive my enemies into thinking my defense is good because of the armor. Although, it should help increase that a bit,' Alex thought.

He wasn't optimistic about getting an armor at the Auction house now. Especially, since he didn't have many True Spirit stones anymore.

Once he was done buying other things like boxes for alchemy ingredients and bottles for the pill, he was left with not a lot of spirit stones.

'Sigh, I might have to sell some of the pills in the auction houses,' Alex thought. He didn't have many pills that he had made for the purpose of selling, and the ones he did, he didn't think were worthy of being sold.

'I might have to find a place to specifically make pills to sell,' he thought. He remembered master talking about Alchemy guilds and halls that allowed rogue alchemists to make pills, so he would try going there someday.

Once he was done with that section of the city, he took a detour back to the hotel. Along the way, he saw a restaurant for cultivators and went in to see how it was.

Apparently, one could spend a little extra to go upstairs to get a premium service, but Alex didn't care. He sat alone by a window and ordered a simple stew.

It wasn't as simple, however. With every bite, his system kept on activating to give him notifications about his body accepting the meal and its Qi. It was almost annoying at one point.

The Qi was only at the 1000s though, so it was quite negligible. Still, the taste was heavenly. The vegetables in the stew were well cooked and the meat practically melted with each chew.

Finally, after 15 minutes of continuous eating, he finished the meal. He paid the money and left the restaurant.

Just as he was walking out, he saw a girl enter the restaurant. She was quite beautiful, but not captivating. Quite tall, but not taller than him. Lean and thin, but not anorexic.

Anyone who saw her would think of her as a true beauty, But Alex didn't. He only had a single thought, 'Have I seen her before?'

The girl quickly walked past him and he didn't dare use spiritual sense to check her face again. So,  he just forgot about it and walked back to the hotel.

He bought a few casual clothes for himself along the way, before reaching the hotel a few dozen minutes before it was 6 pm.

He walked up the 17 flight of stairs, wondering if a lift was even feasible in this place. Finally, he reached his room and walked in.
