Chapter 1097 Favourite kind of troubles
Speaking of five years, there was another matter as well. Vera had given him a prophecy, and told him that he needed to visit a specific planet in exactly five years. Those five years, he was sure, referred to Origin realm years, so that was something he needed to keep in mind.
With various different time flows to deal with now, keeping track of time in each realm would be something that required conscious effort.
At last, there was one final thing he needed to consider and decide before once again sealing the Inn. Should he send his clone out into the Origin realm, or keep it here within the Midnight realm?
There were benefits to both, which is why this was something he had been unable to instantly decide. He could only deliberate it over the next few days.
With all his decisions made, Lex began to act. Time was of the essence. He wanted to minimize his time as much as possible, but how long that was depended on how quickly the Infinity Emporium provided him with the embers.
Lex teleported back to X-142 and was about to head into the emporium when he paused, and itched his nose. After spending so much time in the Midnight realm, coming back to the Origin realm made him feel slightly nauseous.
Considering the fact that he was in the Nascent realm, making him feel anything was a considerable task. But this nausea was not random. It was only now that he had returned to the Origin realm that he realized how impure its spirit energy felt. It was not something he had noticed before.
But why was that the case? He had never noticed anything wrong with the spiritual energy here before, nor had he heard anyone complain. Sure, there were some places with higher and lower energy concentrations, but that was normal.
But his instincts told him that this was a matter he should pay attention to, but it wasn't dangerous.
Lex rubbed his nose, as if clearing something out, before returning to?normal. The nausea faded, but he could not forget that it had been there to begin with.
Lex walked into the Emporium, and could not help but notice that the energy here was much purer.
"You said there were two of these?" he asked.
"Yes, yes. Actually, there were going to be more, but for that you would need to actively participate in marketing. With just two, you have no obligation to do anything. Havalier Industries just hopes that if you participate in any more interstellar warfare, you can record a few videos for marketing purposes."
"This is excellent. I'll happily take one, and I think you deserve to have the other."
Powell was stunned, and looked at Lex in shock.
"No, no, this is yours, how could I..."
"Yes, it's mine. And I'm giving you one as a gift for helping me get such a good deal. Since it's mine, I can give it as a gift, right?"
"I... I guess," Powell said, trying to hide his own excitement. He was clearly a little awkward about this, but the fact that he liked the gift was enough for Lex. The emporium had been integral in his journey, so building better relations with Powell was not a bad idea. Moreover, it didn't cost him anything either.
"Now Powell, I'd like to stay and chat with you here about this, but I'm afraid I'm in a bit of a time crunch, as I usually am. The list of items I need this time are not easy, but I've brought an advance payment. Three drops of Mountain Milk."
Powell was startled, and then his eyes gleamed. How could he ever forget why he loved Lex so much? He was always a big spender.
"First, I need all the information you have on fairies. Secondly, I just came back from another realm, and I can't help but notice that the energy in this realm seems... polluted, for some reason. If you have any information about that, I'd like to purchase all related information. I need 1000 Fire tribulation embers. Oh, also, I need a comprehensive instruction manual about treasure manufacturing, formations, pill refinement..."
The list of things Lex needed this time was extremely extensive which was really troubling. But Powell wished he would face these kinds of troubles everyday!
