The next day Ron went to the market, his goal was to find a good blacksmith for his knife, but that won't be easy because first of all in the eyes of the adults he is just a child and when a child took out a knife with that caliber bad things tends to happen.
In this place noble children from big families possess cultivation that surpasses normal adults but those children name was well known and they can not easily offended not like Ron who is nobody.
That's why he needs to find a way for him to hire a blacksmith, his been thinking this question since yesterday fortunately today he had a good idea, with this idea he can solve their money problem and also hire a blacksmith for his knife.
he casually walk to the the market as usual the road was divided in to two in the right side unique mouth passing by and in the left lively vendors are shouting for their products and as he walk few of their conversations caught Ron's attention, it's about the contest and its a buzzing topic around the town. Ron got curious of course but he didn't mind it for now.
He is on his way to the alchemy shop and when his nearby he quickly put his disguise, he wore a long black cloak and a hood that cover his entire face along with the bamboo hat and transform into his Snake Thunderbolt Transformation, with his transformation his hair turns white and he got taller his childish appearance disappeared and replaced by his mysteriousness.
In his current power he can maintain his form for 10 minutes if he didn't consume soul force by attacking and with his form no one can determine his real age.
In this place disciple rank like him won't be able to transform as he can it is because of lack of soul force, knowledge and experience and it is also hard to find a good soul beast to integrate with that's why it is very common for them to reach their transformation when they reach foundation stage, that time they have enough soul force to integrate with the beast.
But in Ron case its different, he has his own system and he has a deep knowledge about this world. He can easily transform himself and utilize his soul force efficiently.
He was now standing in front of the Alchemy Store not like the other vendors the store is stravagant it has its own building and it is very spacious, the store has a big door at the front and as he walk inside, He was astonished to see the different varieties of hearbs that was displayed all around the store the hearbs was in the store raks and it is line vertical so that people can go around and observe the hearbs.
This hearbs can be use to concoct a pill, but a ton of time was needed to formulate a formula for a pill, Ron is investigating how much the extent of industry of pill making in this place, he was thinking that it is not that advance his hunch form because of the awakening stone, that stone is so precious a hundred of it can make a normal person into a cultivator yet he found one in the street and bought it for 100 bronze.
As he look at the store raks display his eye bulg for several times, In his way he had spot few rare hearbs yet the price is surprisingly low. if he has just enough money he will swipe all this hearbs clean.
And when he got to the pill corners he sigh, as he expected their display only includes basic pills like the cleansing pills he stole and the recovery pills.
by then he knew that he can proceed to his plan, he took out a letter and walk towards the counter.
The lady in the counter was very attentive she saw the mysterious man walking towards her and when he place the letter infront of her she just smiled, her smiled though was not the beautiful, because her face was disfigured maybe because of an accident.
She can estimate that the man had reached foundation stage and all cultivators who reached foundation stage considered as an elder in this city but she can't help to doubt, the man face can't be seen and his clothing is very suspicious.
" hi what business do you have with our store?" The lady ask cautiously
" hi. im sorry for my dressing but my master dont want to reveal our identity." Ron said, he intentionally changed his voice.
although in his transformation he doesn't have ears he can read the mouth of the girl with ease.
" I see. You've integrated a rare beast soul so you might have a big background am I right " the lady said as she carefully watch ron's expressions.
" I might have, I might not have" Ron said in a blank expression.
The lady frown, She is not the store owner for nothing as she can easily deduce her customers expression but this man infront of her was different
