Chapter 248: 114. Legacy of the Black Bone_6

After returning to Sector 7, he first visited the “Time Grinds People” bookstore and bought the entire self-study material for the Independent Alchemist Exam from the bald old man.

He has already stored all the books in his mind using Deconstruction, but he still had to make it look believable. If others were to find out he had only bought one book and passed the Independent Alchemist Exam, they would surely find it strange.

In order to avoid drawing attention, Noland Lee spared no expense in purchasing the entire study guide, spending 30 ,ooo Aggregation Coins.

Afterward, he left the small alley where the bookstore was located, passed by the gate of “Money Dream, ” and entered the Alchemy Marketplace opened by the Golden Commerce Guild in this sector.

Pushing through the bustling crowd, Noland Lee stopped in front of the Alchemy Club named “One-to-One Exchange”.

This Alchemy Club was run by Golden Commerce Guild, providing comprehensive services for legal alchemy enthusiasts.

They have everything from alchemy material, alchemy facilities, alchemy rooms, to test sites for alchemy items.

All services and materials can be purchased with Aggregation Coins.

Noland Lee went inside, opened a membership account with his Identity Card, deposited 100,000 Aggregation Coins as club fees, and rented a small Alchemy Room.

Following the leading of a staff member down the corridor, Noland Lee arrived at the third floor of the club.

“Mr. Ray Lee, this is the Alchemy Room you have rented.”

The service staff unlocked the mechanical Password Lock on the door and introduced the layout of the Alchemy Room.

Although small in size, it was fully equipped.

The modern Golden Federation has bid farewell to the past coal stoves, stone crucibles, and manual mixers, replaced by constant temperature alchemy furnaces, full-metal floating crucibles, and mechanical arms that automatically stir the pulp.

Even the lamps hanging from the ceiling have evolved from candlelight and coal lamps to stable and bright “Glow tubes”.

As long as there is still money on Noland Lee’s membership card, he can use these modern alchemy facilities.

In addition, the Alchemy Room also includes a small partition that provides modest accommodation and shower services for those immersed in alchemy research.

From the first to the third underground floors of the club, there is a colossal alchemy material warehouse filled with diverse materials.

Similarly, as long as he has the money, Noland Lee can freely use those materials.

After the service staff left, Noland Lee threw his backpack onto the corner desk, looked around the room with his hands on his hips, and checked everything using Deconstruction.

No formations or tools that should not exist were detected in the room. Noland Lee was quite pleased.

It makes sense, if the Alchemy Club were to monitor the every move of its customers, it wouldn’t be any different from stealing alchemy research outcomes.

The Alchemy Room contains no monitoring devices or formations, which is completely normal.

“Starting from today, I’ll officially begin exploring the mystery of alchemy. Whenever I’m free, I’ll be here. Now, which project should I start with? Should I attempt to draw an Alchemy Mark, or draw some simple alchemy formations, or perhaps modify my firearms with alchemy to increase ammo capacity and firepower…”

As Noland Lee rubbed his hands and paced the room in thought, he suddenly clapped his hand on his head:

“That’s right, the ‘backpack’ problem is what I should tackle first. Right now, I can only use a normal backpack to hold things. Not only is the capacity limited, but I’m also constantly worried about the items in the bag being affected in a battle. To carry more goods and supplies, I should first transform my backpack using alchemy, that’s the priority.”

Noland Lee conjured the alchemy books in his mind and rapidly flipped through:

“As I recall, in ‘Basic Alchemy Array Theory’, there are several alchemy formations for constructing Folding Space. When I first read this part of the book, I knew I would definitely need it… let me find it, which page was the Folding Space alchemy formation on…’

Noland Lee snapped his fingers:

“Oh- found it. The standard small capacity Folding Space requires 20 alchemy runes and more than a dozen types of alchemy materials. The Alchemy Formula is also in the book. As long as I follow the instructions, I can transform a normal backpack into an alchemy backpack with 0.5 cubic meter Folding Space. The only downside is that this kind of Folding Space can only last for about a week. I need to regularly use Alchemy Array to solidify the Folding Space… wait a minute.”

Noland Lee thought of something, paused his thoughts, and began to search Coudal’s panel and memories.

He had not had time to delve deeply into Coudal’s panel information before, just scanning through it hastily.

But he vaguely remembered seeing a skill similar to Folding Space in Coudal’s Passive Skills.

The Folding Space provided by that skill is very peculiar.

It uses human blood as a carrier and opens up a very concealed storage space in the body.

Coudal relies on this skill to store a large number of Alchemy Beetles and Insect Flute in his body.

Noland Lee was deeply impressed by Coudal’s scenes of releasing alchemy beetles, and at this time couldn’t help feeling very curious.

He stood in place, slightly furrowed his brows, lost in his search.

After about two minutes, his eyes lit up, and his expression showed a hint of excitement.

“I found it, the ‘Blood Storage Alchemy Array’ under the Living Alchemy technique, an alchemy technique that opens storage space in the blood, storing living and non-living things. The storage space shaped by this alchemy array is far more sophisticated than the Folding Space shown in ‘Basic Theory’.. “
