Chương 1153: Rummaging through the spoils of war Part 2

"So this one is full of various mineral ores?" Liam exclaimed after examining the second spatial ring.

It seems that Elira had placed various items in different spatial rings. Perhaps to save some if she got caught or if she had to give up on some? Irrespectively, she had done a good job and everything was segregated properly.

Also, just like how the fairy did not skimp on the skill books, it looked like he also did not skimp on the ores. There were many precious materials stored inside the spatial ring.

Liam placed the ring aside and checked out the next one which contained various gems. While ores were something that he needed, he needed these gems more because with this he would finally be able to fully unseal his sword and bring out the full power of the soul weapon.

But not yet.

Liam placed this ring aside as well and picked up the next one. His eyes immediately widened because the fourth spatial ring was full of recipe scrolls.

Elira must have informed the fairy that he was somewhat of a magic swordsman build if one neglected the fact that he was also a soulmancer and a necromancer. So the fairy had given him a few item recipes.

Liam counted 10. One for the head, one for the shoulders, one for the chest, one for the waist, a shirt, pants, leg guard, arm guard, gloves, and finally a pair of boots.

Aside from these, there were a couple of recipes for a cloak and a robe. At most, there were about twenty-five recipes in total.

This might seem awfully small considering the options available in the system shop, but when Liam took a closer look, each one of the recipes was S-Rank. If equipped they would tremendously improve his combat power.

Until now Liam had never relied on items for improving his strength and power but now he was playing in a league that was much bigger and grander and with enemies who have had centuries of combat experience than him.

In front of enemies like this, he had to go all out. Otherwise, the chances of him coming out on the top would be slim. Even for just surviving the fight he needed to make careful preparations.

These old monsters had built an empire in a B-Ranked world and are still in power after countless years. It would be foolish to underestimate them. They would have harvested resources from this world for decades.

Considering the type of empire they had established, they would have also used the population of the world to their advantage, nurturing many outstanding individuals and others as talented manual laborers.

To stand against these many powerful beings was not a simple thing.

To begin with, he was not sure if he wanted to do that. Eldrin's plan sounded good but now that he knew his world was still whole, he needed to get there as soon as he could.

If he was correct, his current one and only enemy should be the PVP tower master Crawford. And Liam already knew how to gauge that person's strength.

As long as he was strong enough to beat him and then some more, he needed to get back ASAP!

Determination flickered in his eyes like an immortal flame as he placed this ring aside as well, picking up the next one.

Where were the items that he needed the most?

His eyes hungrily searched through. This ring had a pile of items that had some unique and useful features such as inbuilt defensive barriers and a few powerful attack skills.

"Lightning festival?" One particular amulet caught Liam's eye. It had a powerful skill inscribed on it. He wanted to test out how powerful this attack would be. It sounded cool.

With a grin, he placed this ring aside too, and took the next one and finally, he found what he was looking for.

Multiple scrolls of alchemy recipes!

He hurriedly took out all of the scrolls and laid them out in front of him. This was it. This was what he needed the most. He needed to heal everything that was broken inside of him. Otherwise, all of his plans would be for naught.

He went through all of the recipe scrolls one after the other and found the specific ones that he needed.

Mana Core Mending Pill.

Soul Healing Pill.

He took a look at both the recipes and started with the mana core mending pill. Maybe this will work?

However, Liam's gaze fell upon the rank of the recipe the next second. It was only an A-Rank recipe. Would this really be enough to heal him?

He learned both the recipes and first spent several hours trying to understand the procedure from top to bottom.

Thankfully, the fairy had already provided him with a few sets of the herbs required to make the pills. So he would be able to start right away.

And that was not all.

Liam had also asked Elira to get something else, a bunch of basic manuals. Liam searched through the remaining couple of spatial rings and quickly found what he was looking for.

Inside, there were several stacks of books. The first stack was a compendium of many known herbs found in the myriad realms.

The second was similarly one of ores and the third was of gems.

There were also books about mana cultivation basics, forging basics, alchemy basics, array formation basics, inscription basics, rune formation basics, sword mastery basics, and more.

All the foundations he needed to become acquainted with not just combat, but also with the various other disciplines were right there in front of him.

They only contained basic information and nothing advanced, but the basics were where masters started. Mastery of the basics was the key to advancing further. Liam knew that very well.

If he had perhaps attended an academy, he would have had access to all of this but considering that he never did, these books were priceless to him.

At least with this knowledge, he would finally be able to get a solid foundation, something that he had been sorely lacking just every other inhabitant of a newly integrated world.

Before he started concocting the pills, he first decided to access this basic theoretical information at least in the few things that he sorely needed.

Mana core formation, mana pathways formation, nether assimilation, nether pathways formation, alchemy, and the various properties of the herbs that constituted the first recipe, the mana core mending pill recipe.

Liam was surprised to find that the information regarding nether cultivation was also not difficult to obtain but then again the fairy must have been just that desperate or else perhaps in the myriad realms beings who thrived on nether were not really scarce.

Either way, it was about time he began, his fight against the enemy who stands even above these old monstrous elves!
