Alex left the association and walked out to the city. He hadn't got the opportunity to see the various sights of the city when he arrived last time, so he was planning to use this time to do that.
The city was truly very beautiful with flowers blooming on every single patch of land where there was dirt.
The city smelled nothing but fantastic with all the floral scent that the wind carried around. Alex walked through the streets looking at the various vendors and even bought a few things using his newly made fortune.
Clothes were the things he needed to buy the most as they would often tear up during fights or even just simple practice sessions.
Aside from that, Alex stocked up on wooden boxes, pill bottles, empty talisman papers, inks, formation plates, and various other items that he had lost when he came over to the Southern Continent.
Many of the things he lost were irreplaceable, but the ones that were, Alex replaced them.
"Let's go to a weapons store," he said to Whisker, who was sitting inside his robes, and walked along.
The artifact store sold swords, which was what Alex was looking for. As of right now, he only had midnight, and as such he was incapable of using the 21 Sword Array in any of his battles.
With the various other attacks he had, he didn't really need to use that attack, but it was nice having options.
Besides, he had always been planning on using that precise skill to help him learn more about the Dao of techniques, which was one of his goals for the recent future.
If he could learn that, it would open up various different opportunities for him in both normal cultivation techniques and Alchemy.
The 20 different swords Alex bought were all similar in size to the Midnight and as such were easier to make work together.
He looked at Armor and various other artifacts, but none looked as appealing to him. Armor was useless to someone like him who had the Blood armor, and mental defensive artifacts were in general quite useless for Saint realm cultivators as they could easily destroy it.
The materials to make actual mental defensive artifacts that stopped a Saint's attack were near impossible to find after all.
Alex looked at the other artifacts too and bought a few just because he had the money too. Even if he didn't use it, he could give it to his mother, aunt, or his father when he got back to them all.
After leaving the artifact store, Alex went to a restaurant of some fame in the city to try out their delicacy. He sat down on an empty seat and looked at the menu.
"Oh, most of the special ones involve rare flowers only grown around this city," Alex said as he read what was written. "And they say they are good for your health. That one is good for the liver, and this one for the heart."
He went through his knowledge base to see if the claims made in the menu were actually things that the flowers could do for real. "Eh, close enough I guess," he thought. The restaurant was exaggerating, but they weren't wrong in what the flowers and fruits did.
Alex didn't care about it though. He was here just for the taste anyway.
He quickly ordered his food and waited around for it to come. The waiter returned immediately with some appetizers, but the main course would take some time.
"Come, let's eat," Alex said. Whisker came out of his robe and went by the plate to start eating.
The appetizers were a bunch of Graddus fruits that were cut up and boiled in a broth made up of Star Ember flower petals along with Crystal Ginseng.
Every bite he took of the fruit not only had the enhanced taste of the fruit, but also the smell of the flower alongside it.
"Wow, this tastes so good," Alex said out loud. Whisker nodded in agreement and continued eating. Alex went for another bite, but just then he heard a scream.
"AAAH!"
He quickly turned around to see a bunch of girls that were screaming while pointing at him. "There's a rat in this restaurant. Eww!"
The other customers also pointed it out and started saying things. The staff had heard the scream as well and were already on their way to Alex's desk.
Alex looked dumbly at what was happening.
"We apologize for letting a rat into this establishment sir. Please forgive us," the staff said and started prepping some sort of attack to capture Whisker.
"Wait! Wait!" Alex quickly stopped the man. "This is my pet beast. He's eating with me."
The staff paused. "A pet beast? A rat?" he asked. He was a little confused. He could not understand why anyone would make a rat their pet.
"Yes, this is my pet beast," Alex repeated. "You don't have to apologize. You didn't make a mistake. He's just here because I want him to eat with me."
"Uhh…" the staff was a little confused as to what to say. There was something wrong here, but he didn't know how to approach it.
"Uh, dear customer," an older man came up to them. "If this is your pet beast, then would you mind putting it away? It is making the other customers feel disgusted to eat with it out."
Alex looked at them with a rather offended look. "I would not," he said. "This is my pet beast and he's like a brother to me. Please don't call my brother disgusting."
