The Rise Of Calamity

Chapter 246 - Organizing My Treasures



***

1 day after departing, we finally took a stop at one of the inns. Everyone except me and Olivia got their rooms in the inn.

In the room, I faced the window that allowed the rays of lunar light to bath me within the room as I sat in a lotus position. While one would think I was cultivating at this moment, they would be completely wrong.

Right now I have just sent my spiritual senses, which was the name of what I kept calling mental strength or fortitude, into my storage ring. The instant I looked in, I was immediately greeted by the thousands and thousands of shelves covering a quarter of the entire area inside the ring.

I breathed in a cold breath seeing this, but I was still not too surprised since I had already known how big it was. 

'How the hell am I supposed to find out how much crap I have in here without having to look through each and everyone one of them with my spiritual sense?' I asked, completely baffled by how anyone was able to make use of space this large.

[You could have just asked me, you know...]

'Asked you? You don't have a spiritual sense... Or do you?' I was even more confused now

[No dumbass. Just cover the place you want to have analyzed with your spiritual senses and I will do the rest]

Not waiting for another second, I covered an area of 2.25km with my spiritual senses, completely encapsulating everything that was within it with a golden light. The next moment, the familiar sound of a notification rang in my mind, making me focus on the message incoming.

[Ding]

[All items within the sensory range have been identified] 

A screen that looked eerily similar to something I used to use often in my past life.

'Did you just steal Bbay's layout before putting it into a blender and throwing every other sight you can buy things from like Dream(Wish) or Zamanon?'

[Yep]

*sigh* 

Putting everything Hela had ever said to the back of my mind, I started to look through all the different materials I had. After searching through it for a bit, I found it a little hard to navigate so I asked Hela to put them all into categories and labels.

The Lists of things went on and on, each one showing categories, sub-categories, and sub-sub-Categories. However, in general, this was a really good find.

In a single day, I was able to earn an amount of money that would have taken me months to earn, and at my current level of popularity, maybe even years.

In the city of Lagua, crime has seen an expediential decrease in crime and the only thing I could attribute it to was me. The thing what they the moment a face would appear on the notice board, as long as they were not above the silver tier I would always go for them. However, when they are in the silver tier, I usually try to avoid them completely, something I do not have to do now since, without any external factors, I was already in the gold tier.

'Why are there so many herbs here?' I asked with exasperation after looking throughout the storage ring again without the help of Hela.

[The last owner must have been an Alchemist, something you should try becoming when you go to the academy]

I had gotten so used to Hela's antics that I had already tuned her out without letting her finish speaking.

In the end, after looking through my storage ring a little more, I had finally decided that it might be better to just leave it be for now. While I could absorb all the manuals now, I didn't know what kind of effect it would have on me and therefore I chose to not do it now after Hela's constant pestering. To be honest, I was very tempted to use it, but after being pestered by Hela for almost 10 minutes about not doing it now, I chose to listen to her and not use it.

For the rest of the night, I had chosen to sit in a lotus position while gradually pulling in elemental particles from their air, condensing them, and then allowing them to become an ethereal gas and evaporate into my bio-mana heart.

***

3 days later, I was sitting in the lotus position once again but this time we were in a different inn in a different city.

Since there were only 2 rooms available when he had come, Yuri and June had to share a room while me, Olivia, and Rose shared the other. 

Seeing that I would have to share the same room as both of them, I decided to leave early and go into the forest where I could cultivate without anyone seeing me.

To anyone above the gaseous stage, feeling the elements around them was like feeling the wind on their skin, especially when they are related to that element in some way.

This was one of the main reasons I had chosen not to use any of the manuals that I had on me. 

While I trusted Rose to a certain extent, even revealing to her that I had more than 2 elements plus the light element, I did not trust he to the extent where I would tell her about divinity.

*"Move"* one of the whispers I usually heard before ever making a decision echoed in my mind.

At the same time, as I absorbed the ambient mana through my nose, mouth, and the rest of my pores, I could not help but feel a shudder shoot through my spine like an electric shock, making me open my rays immediately before flickering to a few dozen meters away from my previous position.

*BOOM* 

A loud explosion rang out causing flocks of birds to fly away as the trees around the area I sat shook violently.
