Chapter 2315 To Northwest
“Now you know how it feels to lose the first rank, don’t you?” Killersky asked Alex. They had only just met 5 minutes ago after arriving at the Trueflame continent and this was the first big thing she had said after greeting them.
“I suppose I understand,” Alex said with a bit of a grin.
“It’s barely 70 points. Brother Dawnblade can get more than that if he tries again,” Aethersage said.
“I don’t doubt that,” Killersky said. “I just want others to know the pain I felt when my first rank was overtaken.”
The three only laughed.
“Did that bastard come fight you by any chance?” Aethersage asked. “You waited for him, right?”
“I did wait, but he never came. He certainly wasn’t happy about me calling him out and yet he was too much of a coward to come after me.”
“I see,” Aethersage said. “Did you bring your disciple along this time?” Alex asked her.
“Yes, she’s back in the place where I’m staying,” Killersky answered. “Forget about that though. What are you doing now? You guys mentioned you had a bunch of things to do here.”
“That we do,” Alex said. “I need to go to a beast-taming sect up in the northwestern corner of the continent. I’m wondering if I should go there first or enter the secret realm first.”
“You can enter the inheritance site whenever you want,” Aethersage explained. “You can always enter after you’ve gone to the beast-taming sect first.”
Alex thought for a bit and nodded. “That I should do first then. Just get it out of the way.”
Aethersage nodded and brought out a small dial of sorts from his storage bag. “Here. This is the formation artifact I made. It’s like an escape talisman to get out of a secret realm, but has much more power in it so even if something wants to keep us inside, we should be able to get out.”
Alex took the dial and looked at it. It was more formation than an artifact, but it was still crafted so that a regular person could just pour their Qi into it without having to worry about how to activate it.
For a normal formation, one needed to make sure the Qi flowing into their formation dial was of equal strength at every section. That needed meticulous Qi manipulation and was not something someone could just casually do without making a mistake.
Alex could never hope to do something like that immediately. He was only fortunate enough to have a strong Yang Qi that bypassed that restriction and activated the formation regardless of the equality of the strength of the Qi within the formation.
However, turning the formation dial into an artifact also allowed for something similar to happen. One could pour their Qi into the dial with no regard, and the artifact would spread the Qi accordingly to activate the formation at its maximum potential.
It was a simple concept that was executed brilliantly, making formations way more viable in everyday use than regular formation plates.
Alex didn’t believe he needed this. He had the Dao of Space and Teleportation after all. But still, he couldn’t always rely on himself, especially in a world where he was still very much one of the weaker individuals.
The world was full of surprises and he needed to be ready for anything.
After a bit of talk, Alex came to know that Killersky had already found one of her ingredients in the Molten Hearth Continent and was only looking for the other one here.
She had come a few weeks ago and had been searching for it but with no luck. She wanted to try the inheritance site just in case it had what she was looking for, but also because it was something she wanted to check out as well.
They then made the decision to separate. Alex would visit the various beast-taming sects and try to find his ingredients however long it took him, while the other two would enter the inheritance site to try and find their ingredients.
Alex went back to talk with Pearl and Momo to tell them what he had planned. “You’ll be leaving for several weeks?” Pearl asked. “Isn’t it better if we come with you?”
“I’ll be on the go most of the time. I won’t be staying in one place at all. It will be better if you stay here so I can move around freely.”
Pearl thought for a bit and nodded. “I guess we can do that. Right, Momo?” he asked.
Momo nodded. “Will Uncle Whisker not be coming for now?”
Alex shook his head. “He has some things to take care of for a few weeks. He will come by soon.”
“Where does he go?” Momo asked. “Uhh… I’ll let you know some other time.”
“Go without any worry, brother. I’ll take care of her,” Pearl said.
“Alright, I’ll leave now then. The sooner I go the sooner I can come back.”
After a few minutes, Alex left the place, making his way northwest.
The Beast Cloud Sect that was located there was one of the largest sects in the entire continent, and they were one of the biggest suppliers of beast-related ingredients and materials all over the continent. Silvermist Alchemy Court got most of its ingredients from there as well, which was why Alex decided to try his hands there first. There were a few other places he had in mind to go should this one fail, but he simply had no doubt that he would fail here. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓
The sect was just that large.
He arrived at the Beast Cloud city later afternoon, which was also the Beast Cloud sect at the same time. The sect didn’t have a specific ground and instead let their disciple live anywhere they wanted.
It was an interesting way of running a sect that Alex hadn’t seen before.
Upon arrival, he immediately made his way toward one of the major stores to see if they really had what he was looking for or not.
