Leylin left via a different path than Feng Meng in the story and didn’t clash with Demon tree, instead he had to face Beastmen, Which were pretty strong but manageable for Him.
He suffered quite a lot because of them though, Their numbers were not small , In the End he scrapped off with some injuries, nothing that his vitality can’t help with.
From Abyss bone forest, Leylin has already copied all the information that was available to him in the library, He bought a bunch of Potion Formulas too and Great number of spells. He didn’t plan to return until he needs to absolutely in the future, which will be when he needs Their Lab and Some Important Trades like the one from Dorotte About inscription.
“Transfiguration Spell”
Leylin changed his facial structure and his clothes completely to mask his identify, ‘ Although I have already mapped a general location of Inheritance ground, I lack the ability to extract benefit from it. It took 5 , Level 3 Acolyte to take down that snake. I need to reach Peak Level 3 and get some cannon fodder to be the bait and meat shield to do it as well as some Artifacts.
Leylin soon reach Grey Stone City, He rested there for 2 days and began his journey, He had to crush some ‘Bandits’ though. Along the way Leylin finally confirmed that He can also absorb energy from Humans. He made his way towards many hotspot for Wandering Magi and sold his potions and gained lots of Magic crystals, He was at many instance followed, gaining him the delight of more ‘ Mysterious energy’.
This ‘Mysterious energy’ has the ability to bypass any Bottlenecks, it means unlike regular Acolyte he doesn’t need Reagents or Any Inducer for Breaking Bottlenecks.He only needs a copious Amount of it at bottlenecks, Leylin doesn’t know if it also applies for breaking through to Rank 1 Magi, but even still it is an amazing entity.
‘Right now A. I. Chip has no ability to either Analyze or Understand this ‘Mysterious Energy’ but I guess as my level will increase, I could use this energy to strengthen any specific Stat of my body. ‘
Leylin kept killing wild beast but the increase in his stats has become very minute. The only way around this is to kill Stronger Beings.
With A. I. Chip He can scan which person can be dangerous to fight, he can even deduce the presence of Magic Artifacts so he doesn’t mess with people he cannot deal with. This doesn’t mean that he kills all the people he meets ,that are weaker than him though, but he doesn’t leave his enemies either.
Unlike Feng who rather diverge from trouble, he doesn’t left anyone who has malicious intent towards him. Although he cannot face multiple Acolyte at once, he still stalks them till they are Seperate and then kill them one by one.
Like one time when a Level 3 Acolyte with many others tried to ambush him , He escaped with his detection and then stalked them, It took him 1 whole week to kill all except the Level 3 Acolyte and then run way.
Throughout the journey he bought many Potions formulas as well as books that greatly enhanced his knowledge.
..
A.I. Chip, stat update!” Leylin ordered.
[Beep! Leylin Farlier, level 2 acolyte and Knight. Strength: 3.7, Agility: 3.8, Vitality: 4.1,Spiritual force: 5.7, Magic Power: 5.0. Status: Healthy]
“All my stats has received quite a boost , with my constant meditation it will take at most 1 and a half years to reach Level 3 bottleneck .This was the return I got after a number of life and death situations.”
Leylin destination now was the Ellinel Market, managed by the Redbud Family, one of the supporters of Abyssal Bone Forest. He went there to gain more resources and some slaves.
The market was extremely huge. It was the size of several football fields. The ceiling was studded with some kind of stalactite that made Leylin wonder if they were natural.
In the middle of the market, buildings built using grey rocks were lined up in a row. Surrounding them was a circle of wooden huts. As for the street stalls, they were actually rather sparse.
Magi and acolytes wore robes of various colours; white, black, and grey-robed people could be seen stepping in and out of the shops.
Here he went to the largest potion shop, selling his potions and getting direction for Gandor’s Grocery Shop.
Leylin came to Gandor’s Grocery Shop.
As he entered, the things inside the shop were very untidy, and various items were lying around. There were even many that the A.I. Chip could not identify.
“Who?” A voice sounded from behind the counter. Following which, a geezer, who appeared as if he was on the brink of death, popped out from behind it.
“The geezer from the Potion Shop recommended this place to me. I am just browsing a little ”
” I don’t allow people to ‘ Browse ‘ Here, Either buy something or get lost ” The half-dead geezer lips did not move but a mysterious voice could be heard from him
“Alright! I’ll simply pick anything I fancy!” Leylin said that but didn’t move because he knew about this nut-job quirkiness.
“No can do, it is I who will choose for you!” The half-dead geezer sniggered.
“Go ahead then!”
The half-dead geezer rummaged through a shelf at the back of the shop. The wooden shelf made a creaking sound. It looked like it would collapse any moment. Leylin was even worried about him since the shelf looked like it could collapse at any moment.
“I found it!” The half-dead geezer took a black coloured scroll from the shelf.
On this scroll were characters that Leylin did not recognize at all. Its corners were extremely frayed and looked like mice had chewed on it.
“This is a fragment of The great Magus Serholm’s spell. I’ll sell it to you for only 1,000 magic crystals, an absolutely worthy deal, what do you think?” The half-dead geezer eyes glittered.
“This could even be the inheritance of The Great Magus Serholm! Perhaps, you could advance to high-level Magus after you buy it…”
“A.I. Chip! Scan!”
Leylin already know this was fake, even still he scanned it . He knew this has a method to create a Magic Artifact. This is what he wanted from here, it will take 3 months for A. I. chip to decide this, He just wanted to check if it’s the real thing or the Geezer handed him something different.
