"That's pretty nice… help me stand up, please. I need to go for a walk before I can even lie down."
The maids chucked when they heard him before then helped him stand up.
Alex walked for almost an hour before he felt like his stomach was a bit less strained. He then walked back to his room and stretched before he got onto the soft bed and covered himself with the thick banket.
"Ahh so warm and soft…"
Unexpectedly, all the softness prevented him from sleeping as he wasn't not used to it at all. In the end, he placed the pillow on the floor and covered himself with the blanket after lying down. This wasn't so comfortable, but he fell asleep extremely fast.

Meanwhile in one of the streets nearby…
"Boss Iron Fist, we found a rich guy in the streets today. He looks like a kid who came from another country. He had the space ring so he must be incredibly rich. What does boss say? Should we rob him?"
"Hahahahahahahaha, what do you think I will say? Make the preparations."
******************
On the next day, Alex first freshened up and then asked for a map of the place before heading out.
His first destination was the book store where he wanted to ask his guide about the stores he could visit. It was early in the morning but people were already off to work.
He reached the store and entered through the door. He saw two men inside and one person was doing something on his worktable while the other simply watched him.
Both of them turned towards him and all he did was smile embarrassedly, "Ah sorry for disturbing your work. I came to the wrong place."
After he was done, he left the shop and waited a few meters away. A few minutes later, the old man walked out of the store.
"What is it that you want, young master Tom?"
"I want to buy stuff and since I'm buying things in bulk, I want to go to the right place and not waste time in many shops. Show me where to go in this map and I'll go there alone."
"Young master can go to these two sects. Both of them will give you high discounts if you buy a lot from them.
They are called the Azure Dragon and the Scarlet Phoenix sects and they were founded by a pair of brother and sister. Even now, their disciples compete in pill making and Soul Magic.
While the Azure Dragon sect is the best in China for their Soul magic, Scarlet Phoenix is the best in pill making. Even this shop doesn't have the pill making methods of the Scarlet Phoenix sect."
"What about the Soul Magic?"
"He has it."
"Alright then, I'll get going."
Alex first wanted to go to the Azure Dragon sect and since it was extremely far from his current location, he had to go back to ask for a way to get there. After clarifying everything, he headed to the place that the old man told him to go.
While he was happily walking, a group of guys with tattoos on their face approached him with their heads covered in hoods.
"Hey kid, give the ring that you are currently wearing to this grandpa and we will let you go."
"Hmmm… who the hell are these people?"
"Did you not hear what I said?" Growled the largest man as he took a step forward.
Alex didn't respond and simply ran back as fast as he could. He wanted to kill them but since he wasn't a native, he wanted to take the safer approach.
"YOU RAT! STOP RUNNING!!"
Alex was fast, in fact he was so fast that they were slowly falling behind. He wasn't actually running but simply standing on a thick rope.
In just five minutes, he reached the so-called Hunters Pavilion and rushed inside.
"Hey! There are some bandits who want to rob me!"
"Esteemed guest should've just killed them. Elder Han! Please help this junior sister."
An old man with a long ass beard appeared right in front of Alex.
"What is the issue?"
"Bandits." Alex said and the lady interrupted.
"Elder Han, this person is a very important guest. I hope you take strict action."
The old man stroked his beard a few times before nodding slowly.
"Kid, do you have the ability to take care of those bugs?"
"Most probably I can…"
"Why didn't you do it then?"
"You see… I'm in a different country and if something goes wrong, I may not be able to go back."
"Ahahahahaha what a funny child. We are an underground organisation. Killing a few dogs is a small matter for us. I'll take care of them for now but if you want to avoid trouble, use the transformation pills."
"Understood."
"You can either wait here or join me. What do you want to do?"
"I'll join you."
"I commend your courage, kid. Alright, follow me." The old man said and strolled off so fast that Alex doubted if he was walking or flying.
He cleared his mind from useless thoughts and followed him using one of the many ropes. Han stopped in front of the group and so did Alex.
"Was it these guys?"
Alex nodded like he was complaining to his actual grandfather.
Meanwhile, the whole group of men seemed to have seen a ghost.
"R… RUN! It's the blood demon Han!"
"Blood demon Han? The man who wiped off an entire sect with one move?"
"You fucking trash, stop asking shit and run!"
Alex looked at Han, "You seem to be quite strong and well known here."
"They're exaggerating. Want to kill them all or do you want them dead?"
"Dead. Don't worry, I won't let them go anywhere so you can finish them off."
Before Han could say anything, a large number of ropes flew out of Alex's bracelet and zoomed over towards the men who were running.
