In his previous life, Zhang Ruochen had seen a treasure called the “Sumeru Mixed Elements Bag”, which appeared to be just a palm-sized bag, but could hold a mountain.
The Sumeru Mixed Yuan Bag was an extremely precious treasure, and there were no more than ten of them in the entire Kunlun Realm. It was said to have been passed down from the Middle Ages, and was sacrificed and refined by a Saint.
There were also many refiners who wanted to imitate the Sumeru Mixed Yuan Bag, but all of them ended in failure.
Zhang Ruochen was the son of Emperor Ming in his previous life, and had seen a lot of things, otherwise, he wouldn’t have known that there was such a treasure as the “Sumeru Mixed Yuan Bag” in the world.
“Opening up an independent space inside a ring, isn’t it exactly the same as the characteristics of the Sumeru Mixed Yuan Bag?” Zhang Ruochen was somewhat surprised.
The black giant cat said, “‘Sumeru Mixed Yuan Bag’ is a spatial treasure that was refined by the Sumeru Saint Monk, and in your era, even if there are still spatial treasures left, the number is definitely very few, and each one of them is exceptionally precious.”
“The Sumeru Hybrid Pouch, it’s not surprising that it was actually refined by the Sumeru Saint Monk. I’ll try to see if I can refine a spatial treasure as well!”
Zhang Ruochen had to be a little excited, if he was really able to refine spatial treasures, if he took out just any one of them, he would be able to sell it at a sky-high price.
He cupped the Inscription Pen in his hand and mobilised the True Qi in his body, injecting it into the Inscription Pen.
The Inscription Pen immediately emitted a white glow, and a white ray of light, extending out from the tip of the pen, entered the interior of the jade trigger finger.
Zhang Ruochen controlled the Inscription Pen very carefully, carving basic spatial inscriptions on the interior of the jade trigger finger.
Inscribing an inscription pattern was an extremely detailed matter that consumed quite a bit of mental energy.
“Wow!”
The first inscription was successfully inscribed!
Zhang Ruochen picked up where he left off and quickly inscribed the second inscription successfully!
Third, fourth, fifth, sixth.
When all six inscriptions were successfully inscribed, a faint layer of light appeared on the surface of the jade trigger finger, and strands of white lines travelled across the surface of the trigger finger.
A moment later, the halo disappeared and those white lines sank into the trigger finger.
“The engraving was successful?”
Zhang Ruochen immediately injected a True Qi into the jade trigger finger.
On the surface of the jade trigger finger, another layer of halo and a pattern appeared. Zhang Ruochen probed his finger over it, and it felt like his entire hand was entering the ring.
“It really worked! The space inside the jade trigger finger is roughly one cubic metre. This spatial ring contains six inscriptions inside, and belongs to the third rank True Martial Treasure.” Zhang Ruochen was overjoyed.
One must know that this was the first time he had refined a spatial ring, and he had succeeded in doing so!
The black giant cat said, “Don’t get complacent too early, you’ve only learnt six basic spatial inscriptions right now, and you can’t control the size of the space you open up at all. When you learn the Zhang-type inscription pattern and the Shrink-type inscription pattern, by then, the space size of the spatial ring you refine will definitely be more than one cubic metre.”
“Moreover, you’re only burning out inscriptions on top of the jade trigger finger right now, and those inscriptions aren’t stable, and could dissipate with a light bump.”
“You have to use the method of refining a weapon, sacrificing the spatial ring with flames to make the inscriptions in the spatial ring more stable. If you don’t have a good grasp of the fire, it’s likely that the spatial ring will be destroyed.”
Zhang Ruochen nodded and said, “I’ll make a trip to the Inscription Guild right now and borrow Zorn’s Refining Furnace to completely refine the spatial ring.”
“Wait, this seat is also going out.”
The black giant cat stomped on all four legs and with a whoosh, flew out of the inner space of the space-time crystal stone.
Zhang Ruochen looked at the black giant cat standing in the room and frowned slightly, deciding to take it back into the Qiankun Divine Wood Diagram.
The black giant cat was so cunning that it could see Zhang Ruochen’s inner thoughts with a glance, and immediately fell on the floor and cried, saying, ”Young man, this seat has been imprisoned in the Qian Kun Divine Wood Diagram for 100,000 years, and even if I had once made a great mistake, I have already atoned for my sins. I am just a cat, I long for freedom, I long for a new life. Meow! Think again, if it wasn’t for this seat’s guidance, could you have opened up the chakra vein? If it wasn’t for this seat’s guidance, could you have refined a spatial ring?”
Zhang Ruochen thought about it and said, “Alright! For the time being, I won’t take you back into the Qiankun Divine Wood Diagram, but you must follow me at all times.”
“That’s natural.” The black giant cat was so excited that it danced around and rolled on the ground non-stop.
Outside the room, a footstep sounded.
“Ninth brother, are you still in closed-door cultivation?”
Ninth County Chief Yu Xi’s voice.
Zhang Ruochen pushed open the door and walked out, seeing the Ninth County Lord standing outside, saying, “Ninth sister, what’s the matter with you?”
Today, the Ninth County Lord was dressed very beautifully, with a white hundred-fold dress encrusted with silver silk threads, her long ebony hair pulled back on top of her head, her slender jade waist wrapped in a green-coloured belt, and she was holding an emerald-like turquoise sword in her hands.
When the Ninth County Lord saw Zhang Ruochen, she was instantly delighted and said, “I heard that your cultivation has broken through to the Yellow Extremity Realm Middle Extremity Position, so I wanted to come and compete with you.”
Less than two months had passed after the End of Year Examination.
The Nine County Lord would never have thought that Zhang Ruochen had not only broken through to the Middle Extreme Realm, but had even reached the Great Extreme Realm.
Zhang Ruochen said, “It seems that you, Sister Nine, have also made a breakthrough in your cultivation, reaching the Yellow Extreme Realm Grand Extreme Position?”
The Ninth County Lord shook her head and said, “How can it be that easy to reach the Yellow Extremity Realm Great Extremity? I’ve only reached the peak of the Middle Extreme Position now, but I’ve cultivated my sword intent to the realm of ‘the sword follows the heart’. I can already defeat a Grand Extreme Position martial artist now even though I haven’t reached the Grand Extreme Position yet.”
Zhang Ruochen nodded, being able to cultivate to the ‘Sword Follows Heart’ realm at such a young age was indeed not an easy task.
Of course, both the Nine County Lord and Lin Mishan were only at the beginning stage of Sword Follows Heart Walking realm, while Zhang Ruochen had still reached the high stage of Sword Follows Heart Walking realm, so there was no comparison at all.
With a single casual move, Zhang Ruochen would be able to defeat them.
Zhang Ruochen said, “But I don’t have time to spar with Ninth Sister right now, I need to go to the Inscription Guild first.”
“That’s fine! I’ll go to the Inscription Guild with you and just take my Cloud Rabbit Moon Carriage.” The Ninth County Lord’s pair of beautiful eyes blinked gently, as if she hadn’t come to look for Zhang Ruochen to spar in martial arts at all, but just wanted to have fun with Zhang Ruochen.
With that, she walked over towards Zhang Ruochen and took Zhang Ruochen’s arm without the slightest bit of avoidance, appearing to be very intimate.
Although Zhang Ruochen felt a little awkward, but when he thought that she and he were siblings, with the same father and mother, and had a close blood relationship, he was not so awkward.
“Meow!”
A black fat cat, as if taking a stroll, walked out from inside the room.
At this moment, the black fat cat’s size became much smaller, just a circle fatter than a normal cat.
“Ninth brother, you also have a cat, it’s so cute, what’s its name?” The Ninth Sheriff Lord immediately picked up the black fat cat and stroked its fur.
“Meow!”
The black fat cat purposely put on a good and cute appearance, turning a pair of round eyes, sticking out its tongue, and gently adding to the Ninth County Lord’s jade finger.
Zhang Ruochen glanced towards that one black fat cat and gently shook his head, saying, “Just call it Little Black!”
“Little Black!”
The Nine Sheriff Lord extended her finger and gently pressed the top of the black fat cat’s head.
She had no idea how angry the black fat cat was feeling at the moment, this seat is the Emperor of Slaughtering the Heavens and Killing the Earth, how can I be called Little Black?
Insult!
Definitely an insult to this Emperor!
“Forget it! Endure it! A cat under the roof has to bow its head!” The black fat cat’s mind thought so.
Riding in the Nine County Lord’s carriage, Zhang Ruochen once again went to the Inscription Guild and borrowed Zorn’s Refining Furnace to sacrifice the spatial ring.
The process of sacrificing the spatial ring was surprisingly smooth, and soon the spatial ring came out as a finished product.
Third rank True Martial Treasure Weapon, Spatial Ring.
Throughout the entire refining process, Zorn had been standing on the sidelines, his mouth emitting tsk tsk sounds as he sighed, “Your Highness, the Ninth Prince, is truly a born refining master, the first time you offer a vessel, you are able to control the flames to such an exquisite degree, it is truly something that one cannot help but admire.”
Zhang Ruochen was not arrogant and asked for advice with an open mind, saying, “My current control over the flames is roughly equivalent to the level of a several grade refiner?”
“The peak level of a first grade refiner.”
Zorn added, “You should know that you can reach such a level after only the first time you’ve sacrificed a True Martial Treasure Weapon, so I believe you’ll soon reach the level of a second grade refiner.”
A second grade refiner, in the Yunwu County Kingdom, could already hold a rather impressive status.
If one was willing to defect to a certain sect or family, they would immediately be treated at the level of an Elder, or even a bit more honourable than the status of a normal Elder.
Zorn sighed again and said, “My spiritual power, in fact, has already reached the level of a third-grade refiner, it’s because my control over the flames is still a little bit worse, therefore, it can still only be considered a second-grade refiner.”
The spiritual power of a first grade refiner was generally between the fifteenth and twentieth rank.
The spiritual power of a second grade refiner was generally between the twentieth and twenty-fifth orders.
The spiritual power of a Third Grade Weapon Refiner was generally between the twenty-fifth and thirtieth orders.
The spiritual power of a Fourth Grade Weapon Refiner was generally between the thirtieth and thirty-fifth orders.
Yunwu County’s number one Weaponry Refining Master was a fourth grade Weaponry Refiner, Kong Tong, with a spiritual power of thirty-fourth order, who could be called the number one person in Yunwu County’s spiritual power.
Kong Tong’s status in the Yunwu County Kingdom was not much weaker even compared to the Yunwu County King.
If the Yunwu County King was looking for her to refine weapons, he would have to personally pay a visit to her and negotiate with her on an equal footing. Because, Kong Tong was not only a fourth grade weapon smith, but also the president of the Yunwu County King’s Inscription Guild, her status was very honourable.
Zorn asked curiously, ”Your Highness the Ninth Prince, what kind of vessel is the trigger finger you refined? Could it be a defence-type True Martial Treasure Artifact?”
Zhang Ruochen smiled and said, “This …… is a secret for now!”
After saying this, Zhang Ruochen walked out of the refining room, pondering in his mind to purchase a refining furnace as well.
However, the best refining furnace in the King City could only be purchased at the Qingxuan Pavilion, and to go to the Qingxuan Pavilion, one would surely encounter that one sexually/sexy boss lady who could seduce a man’s soul.
Qin Ya was simply too flirtatious, too charming, too seductive, and she would also take the initiative to seduce him and lure him into committing a crime, thinking about this gave Zhang Ruochen a bit of a headache.
When encountering such a demoness, what man would dare to say that he would definitely be able to hold on?
“If I let the Nine Countesses go with me, the Boss Lady should be a bit more restrained.” Zhang Ruochen nodded.
