"But with such a disparity in prices between ranks,I will have to kill atleast five hundred and fifty more tier three creatures to afford the mid ranked manuals..."
With the thirst of more knowledge, Zach's mind was made up,he had already broken through into the high stage of core condensation realm. And with the high levels of spirit qi and the help of his formations,the foundation stabilizing pills and the low ranked spirit qi crystals, it won't take him that long to hatch his nascent soul.
He was not afraid of lacking behind interns of battle experience and battle sence,since he was fighting creatures with a strength equivalent to core condensation realm every day,not mentioning the masses of tier one and tier two tier creatures.
It took him two month and a half to clear out an area of one thousand two hundred metres from the city wall seven times . The area cleared stretched for a kilometre along the ruined city wall.
On his third clear,the ratio had risen once more,for every five hundred tier one creatures,there were a hundred and fifty tier two creatures and three tier three creatures.
On his fourth clear,the number of tier one creatures was constant,while that of tier two creatures rose by fifty,while that of tier three creatures rose to four.
On his fifth clear,the number of tier one creatures was still constant, while that of tier two increased to two hundred and fifty, while that of tier three creatures rose to five.
On his sixth clear,tier one creatures remained constant,tier two creatures increased to three hundred,while tier three creatures increased to five. It was during this clear that Zach faced his first tier four creature,that dropped ten low ranked spirit qi crystals.
On his seventh clear,there were no more tier one Kadmus creatures. The had not just undergo a quantitative change but a huge qualitative change. There were now five hundred tier two creatures,ten tier three creatures and two tier four creatures.
The seventh clear was all Zach could handle. Beyond that and he may have to bid goodbye to the world.
Seated in his hideout that was now protected by low level mid ranked formations.
A month ago,Zach had purchased the mid ranked spirit tool forging manual. He prioritized the spirit tool forging manual,as he was after the knowledge on spatial storage tools. And for a month,he had forged a hundred of these,all low ranked,the only downside was that he was forced to unlock close to three dozen iron chest for the required materials,as well as use some of the precious materials he had gathered in the ruins to compensate for those that he lacked. Resulting into several hills of resources around him.
He had forged the spatial storage tools mainly from wood,and since the wood was from common trees,Zach had to refine them several times. Each spatial storage tool used up a unit of refined wood plus other materials,and Zach had to refine three units of common wood to produce the needed unit for the spatial storage tool.
They all resembled crudely made wooden chests. And were covered in runes,the different between these runes and those used for formations were they arrangements.
Each of these chests had an eight metre cubic space within.And currently,Zach had them stacked together.
The spatial storage chests were not the only spirit tool he forged,he had discovered a park at the border between the outer region he was in. The park was a haven for a spirit tool forger like him,as it was filled with nothing but spirit plants,all the grass here was actually low ranked spirit grass.
The spirit plants ranged from low rank spirit plants to mid rank spirit plants. There were
herbs,fruits,nuts,vegetables,spices,trees,even the water flowing in the stream was rich in spirit qi.
Zach had been surprised after discovering that there were actual living common animals in the park.
Zach had wanted to rush in and harvest everything,but he could not,as the park was home to a tier six Kadmus creature. It had a hundred minions at tier five wondering the pack,and hundreds of tier four Kadmus creatures outside the park.
Zach had been resulted to creating a diversion so he could sneak into the park and snatch a piece of fallen and dried up mid stage spirit tree and some rare mid ranked spirit herbs.
He had also made away with a bronze chest.
As for the diversion,he had laid out several arrays. Each array had three formations,a spirit qi gathering formation,a spirit qi channeling formation and a detonating formation.
The spirit qi channeling formation channelled the spirit qi gathered into the detonating formation.The detonating formation would go off at an interval of two minutes each, attracting the creatures.
With ten formation arrays,Zach had enough time to move in,snatch what he needed and leave the border region before the creatures returned. With the mid stage spirit tree,he forged a mid stage flying disk. It had a ten metre radius,and since the piece of tree was not enough to forge a flat disk,Zach designed it as a spider web. The gaps in between were covered with refined common wood.
The only place with a complete floor was the centre of the disk,where the control formation were located.
Due to its spider web design,the floating spirit disk came out as a low leveled mid ranked spirit tool. But after Zach added a formation array,an upgraded version of his first original array and several more formations.The low leveled mid ranked spirit tool depicted the power and efficiency of a high leveled mid ranked spirit tool.
The formation array was a combination of the defence and offence formation,the masking and camouflaging formation and the spirit qi gathering and spirit qi channeling formations.
As for the independent formations,he added a durability formation to increase the flying disk durability,a sensory formation,a shielding formation to shield from rain,wind or fog and smoke,a speed increase formation,a weight reduction formation and the lastly,an identification formation,this was the only low rank formation as Zach did not have the required materials for the creation of identification tokens. He could only make three of them.
