Chapter 162: Storage Ring
“Hmm?”
In the Artifact Forging Room,
Yi Chen was surprised to find that while the liquefied Space Stones seemed to merge into one,
under the perception of his divine consciousness, there was actually an invisible barrier separating all their characteristics.
The spatial properties inside appeared to exist independently, unable to blend together.
Even if he melted these Space Stones into one, it would be completely useless.
It was like each Space Stone represented a small room.
When these Space Stones melted together, the small rooms became tangled and couldn’t combine into one big room.
After closely sensing with his divine consciousness, Yi Chen sighed in relief.
He found the reason.
The Space Stones contained a negative characteristic that could be called ‘independence’ or ‘barrier.’
Now that he had found the reason, it was simple; he just needed to see if he could strip away this negative characteristic.
As all the impurities vaporized, the crimson flame turned blue.
Yi Chen began to clear out those useless properties from the Space Stones as much as possible.
Some could be extracted, while others could not.
Fortunately, the negative characteristic that prevented the true merging of the Space Stones was among those that could be removed.
Once he extracted all the more significant negative characteristics, the blue flame transformed back into crimson.
The temperature continuously dropped,
and the liquefied Space Stones gradually solidified.
From over one hundred and twenty pounds, after removing various impurities, only about seventy pounds remained.
“Get some Purple Smoke Crystal, Xuan Gang, and Holy Water…”
He instructed Bai Ruo Xin while picking up the spiritual sword and swiftly striking.
Swish!
A stream of Sword Energy cut off a small piece of the solidified Space Stone.
This small piece was only the size of a grain of rice, weighing around one gram.
As soon as Bai Ruo Xin brought him the six materials he asked for, he enveloped the small piece of Space Stone with his divine consciousness.
A crimson flame then surged forth, quickly melting this small piece of Space Stone.
Under the control of his divine consciousness, a little Purple Smoke Crystal was poured in.
Once the impurities of the Purple Smoke Crystal vaporized and merged with the Space Stone, the crimson flame changed to a light yellow.
Under the refining of the light yellow flame, the characteristics of the two materials began to fuse together.
Once completed, the light yellow flame transformed back into blue, starting to strip away those negative characteristics.
Then, he added the second material, the third material…
This process repeated itself.
Although the main characteristics were based on the fourth-grade Space Stone, which was the primary material, the small amount of the other materials meant that the final product was actually classified as a second-grade spiritual artifact.
Since he used very little material, Yi Chen successfully fused all the materials in just over an hour.
Compared to the last time he crafted a second-grade spiritual artifact, which took at least half a day, this was a remarkable improvement.
Under the influence of the various auxiliary materials, the deep black color had turned into an antique bronze.
The crimson flame began to fade.
Once the liquid solidified, Yi Chen used his divine consciousness to shape it.
Under the control of his divine consciousness, the gradually softening material was stretched into a long strip.
Then, the two ends connected.
A beautifully crafted, simple-looking ring that resembled an oval gradually took shape.
Holding the ring in his hand,
Yi Chen infused a small amount of spirit power into it to activate the laws of space within the ring.
His divine consciousness entered it.
Inside, there was an extraordinary space measuring about ten meters in length, width, and height.
He displayed a joyful expression.
This result exceeded his expectations by a lot.
By activating the spatial properties of the Space Stone to their maximum potential with the various auxiliary materials,
one gram of Space Stone could create a storage ring with a capacity of one thousand cubic meters.
In that case, the seventy-plus pounds of Space Stone could create over thirty-five million cubic meters of space.
The dimensions could reach over three hundred meters in length, width, and height.
If the height were significantly compressed and the length and width increased, it could meet his concept of a treasure that could accommodate thousands or even tens of thousands of people to cultivate and comprehend the laws of the universe together.
“Here you go!”
Yi Chen threw the storage ring to Bai Ruo Xin.
“Infuse a bit of spirit power to activate this storage ring, and with your thoughts, you can collect items from the outside or take them out, but living creatures cannot be stored.”
To store living beings, he would need to use formations and some other materials to create an ecosystem inside.
At the moment, Yi Chen clearly couldn’t achieve that.
“You’re giving this to me?”
Bai Ruo Xin was taken aback.
Yi Chen nodded and then cut off about one gram of Space Stone to continue crafting the storage ring.
The main function of the storage ring was to carry and store various items, making it an essential tool for traveling outside.
Not just for Bai Ruo Xin.
He also planned to craft one ring for the leaders of the four armies.
He needed to forge one for the high priest as well.
After all, this old man was the head of the Political Council, one rank above everyone else in the Flame Mountain Tribe.
During this time, the Political Council had successfully organized the merger of the Sacred Water Tribe, exceeding his expectations, so it was only right to reward the old man.
Although the storage ring was only a second-grade spiritual artifact, the tribe’s top geniuses needed to at least reach the first level of the Heart Tribulation Stage to craft one.
According to Yi Chen’s estimation, it would take at least one or two more years for that.
For now, he could only personally forge a few rings.
Fortunately, each one only took just over an hour.
…
“This, this isn’t scientific!”
“Why would Yi Chen give a ring to Bai Ruo Xin? What is he trying to do?”
“Could it be that Yi Chen really has severe aesthetic distortion, completely reversing his tastes compared to those on the exile planet, just like us in the human federation?”
“It’s all over, I’m heartbroken! The man I love most has been taken away by that enchanting Bai Ruo Xin…”
The women in the live room all felt gloomy.
They never expected Yi Chen to spend an hour creating a ring for Bai Ruo Xin.
It was too romantic.
Especially coming from Yi Chen, who would never waste time; it was simply intoxicatingly romantic.
The problem was, the romantic interest wasn’t them—it was Bai Ruo Xin.
While feeling intoxicated, they also felt their hearts breaking.
“Are you guys misunderstanding something?”
“Yeah! I feel like Yi Chen has no other intentions; he simply gifted Bai Ruo Xin a spiritual artifact.”
“I think so too! This storage ring, based on what Yi Chen said, seems to be used to store items, so Bai Ruo Xin won’t have to carry around that big animal skin bag every day.”
“It can collect things from the outside; that sounds amazing! I just wonder how big of an item can fit inside.”
The men in the live room clearly had a completely different mindset.
From Yi Chen’s few words, they recognized the purpose of the storage ring.
Members of various tribes and intelligence organizations from different star systems stared wide-eyed, looking completely confused.
What was going on?
The Space Stone was fused together and was completely ruined; that was basic knowledge!
How could this human genius still create a treasure with storage capabilities?
