Eternal Cultivation of Alchemy

Chapter 247: City Tour



Chapter 247: City Tour

'This feels much better. Why would the developers have to do something so stupid like making Focus Mode permanent?' he thought He really disliked the complete change in senses from when he was out of the game to inside the game.

He stood up from his bed and looked at the time. It was around half past 3. 'Maybe I should go out and check the city,' Alex thought.

"Hey brother Wan, you want to go see the city?" Alex asked.

"The city? Uh… I already did it in the afternoon. You were asleep the entire time I left and came back," Wan Li said.

"Oh, then I will go check it out. Is there anything good I should check?" Alex asked.

"I don't really know; we didn't cover a very large area," Wan Li said.

With the sheer scope of the city, Alex could understand why. "Alright then, I'm leaving," Alex said and walked out of the room.

Wan Li was in the room, so he didn't really care about locking the room.

"Hmm… Yu Ming, you are out? Are you going somewhere?"

Alex saw his master walking up the staircase with a bunch of elders.

"Yes, master. I was thinking of going out to visit the city," Alex said. "Where are you coming back from, master?" His master and elders didn't look like they were coming back from a normal visit to the city.

"We are coming back from the sect meeting that was held by the competition holders in the city. They gave us some more information about the upcoming competitions," Ma Rong said.

"Oh, it must be something important then. Do I need to stay and listen?" Alex asked.

"No, I will tell you guys later tonight. For now, just go and visit the city. Remember to not leave very far away and come back to the hotel by 6 am," Ma Rong said.

Alex nodded and bowed to the elders before leaving. He walked down the 17 flight of stairs and finally left the hotel.

The hotel was situated in the western quadrant of the city. He remembered the location and started walking towards the north.

Along the way, he saw the general festiveness of the city. There were many people out on the streets. The vendors shouted the best they could to attract the people on the streets, while the people looked around for fun things to buy.

Alex was a little overwhelmed seeing so many people in the city. When he had entered the city this morning, it was just that, morning. That couldn't compare to the late afternoon when most people left to shop.

He looked around him and saw an unnatural amount of young people in similar robes. "So many sects are here today," he thought as he looked at the myriad of different robes.

He walked along the roads as he looked for more things.

"That looks nifty." He would buy it.

"Master might want that." He would buy it.

"That should fit Senior Sister." He would buy it.

"Ah, I really like that." He bought that too.

The items were quite cheap and didn't even cost a single spirit stone in total. He was buying items not very useful to normal cultivators.

He saw a weapon and artifacts shop and looked at the armors on display. 'Should I buy an armor? I do need them quite a bit,' he thought, but soon decided not to.

"I should buy one at the auction house; Those are probably better," He said to himself. So, he left the place and walked to other places.

He entered an area that was made for cultivators. There were places that sold cultivation methods, different techniques, formation blueprints, formation flags. Talisman inks and papers, Alchemy ingredients, pills, puppets, etc.

The stuff around him was on another level. He could even feel a high cultivation base walking right past him from time to time.

'Damn, so many experts. I need to be careful here,' Alex thought. He looked around but didn't really see anything that was worth buying. Still, he walked into the alchemy buildings to see if they sold any new types of pills.

He walked in and started looking through the glass cases that showed the different names of the pills and transparent pill bottles within.

Unfortunately, nothing there caught his eyes. The pills were mostly Earth Grade pills and almost all of them were common rank pills. The True Rank pills and Heaven-grade pills were hidden in the back room probably.

He wanted to buy recipes, but unfortunately, nobody sold any that he already didn't have. 'Master must've already bought everything available for free in the market,' he thought.

As for the alchemy ingredients, he found a few that he didn't have and bought them. It cost him a few spirit stones that he was willing to let go of.

After finding nothing else to buy, he walked out of the alchemy building. Talisman and Artifacts didn't really interest him. Formations, however, seemed quite… intriguing.

'That formation Song Zun had… it somehow used the Yang Jade to strengthen his body enough to not take damage from a sword that was being used by me. He didn't have much attack himself, but the defense was very high.'

'I might not be able to get the same formation for me, but… there might be others that do the same thing. I will need to understand formations to even begin to understand what I have in my mind,' Alex thought and made his way to the formations building.

However, before he could even make it to the building, he saw someone coming out of the building. It was a man around the same height as him.

That didn't catch Alex's attention, however, what did was the yellow robe he was wearing.

'Tiger Sect.'
