Chapter 324 Refine An Interspatial Bag
“Master Ou, please come with me,” Wu Hanning spoke gently and was calm.
Ou Yangming was slightly stunned. He looked up to stare at her eyes as though he wanted to spot something.
“Master Ou, what are you doing?” Wu Hanning furrowed her beautiful eyebrows as she was a little furious. If someone else had stared at her like a flirt, she would have many ways to make that person regret it.
On the opposite, the princess was displeased when Ou Yangming forgot his manners, but she experienced some unusual emotions for some reason.
In fact, as Her Royal Highness, Wu Hanning’s field of vision was unimaginable.
Even though Zuoqiu Hongyuan was reputable and was known as the strongest powerhouse among the younger generation, she never attached any importance to him.
This was because Wu Hanning knew she stood a chance in defeating him if they both gave their all and she fully unleashed her mental power.
However, she had an unconventional and favorable impression of Ou Yangming.
It was not love at first sight, but it was because the princess and the young fellow had great mental power. Ever since Wu Hanning started her cultivation path, while many powerhouses could suppress her in terms of martial art cultivation base, Ou Yangming was the only one who could make her feel inferior in terms of mental power.
She even had a feeling that Ou Yangming was the only person she could talk to and exchange views within the spiritual world.
Although no romance was involved, Ou Yangming was simply distinctive to her.
Ou Yangming was startled for a while, but he finally confirmed that His Majesty the Emperor did not seek Her Royal Highness’s agreement about the marriage, or the princess would not have acted so naturally.
He sighed a breath of relief and asked with a smile, “Your Highness, where are you bringing me to?” Wu Hanning answered in a deep voice, “Don’t you want to go to the imperial family’s secret realm? Father went to ask Forefather for instructions, and you’re allowed to go now.”
Ou Yangming raised his eyebrows because he realized that even His Majesty did not have the power to make the decision.
As they made their way to the destination, Wu Hanning asked out of curiosity, “Master Ou, you didn’t gain any benefit when you met Forefather at the secret realm, did you?”
“That senior showed me his power, but it brought me back to my senses.” Ou Yangming smiled bitterly and noted seriously, “I’m extremely grateful for him.”
“Oh, are you going there to thank me?”
“No.” Ou Yangming shook his head and explained, “I sensed a tremendous interspatial power in the secret realm, and I… I’d like to refine something inside.”
Wu Hanning looked strangely at him as she was confused.
Ou Yangming was a rare Advanced Blacksmith as it was uncommon for a young man like him to earn such a title. It was even more out of the ordinary that he successfully upgraded the princess’s longsword.
Nevertheless, Wu Hanning could not figure out what piece of unique equipment had to be refined in the secret realm. She warned the young fellow softly after some thought, “Master Ou, Forefather may have agreed to let you use the secret realm, but you mustn’t destroy the environment inside!”
Ou Yangming could not help but laugh. “Don’t worry, I don’t have the guts to do that!”
He knew very well how important a secret realm was for a formidable force, hence he was not daring enough to do something like that.
They arrived at the flowerbed after a brief moment. Wu Hanning nodded at Ou Yangming, and her heart shook a little when she watched him enter through the door. The princess furrowed her beautiful eyebrows as if her special sense picked up something, but she could not figure it out no matter how she tried to infer.
Ou Yangming pushed the door open and was greeted with the familiar field.
He bowed at the void and expressed clearly, “I’m Ou Yangming. Thank you for your pointers, senior.”
The elder uttered three sentences before he left and displayed an unbelievable might of summoning the wind and calling the rain, which crushed Ou Yangming’s arrogance.
It did not sound difficult at all, but it was an enormous change for Ou Yangming. In particular, his spirit seemed to have been reborn.
The favor was so huge that it would be difficult to be repaid, so Ou Yangming came to settle it.
There was no sound in the void as if the elder was gone.
Ou Yangming pondered for a while before he finally sat with his legs crossed. After casting all his worries aside, he began to fathom the realm’s environment.
The secret realm was a massive space, and it was so vast that it could not be accommodated by the flowerbed. In other words, the secret realm was a supersized interspatial bag, but it was unordinary because there was a field inside and a living person could cultivate in the space.
While the secret realm was a few levels above an interspatial bag, their intrinsic qualities were the same from Ou Yangming’s perspective.
When Ou Yangming released his mental power and began to apprehend the space in detail, an endless feeling of realization rose from the bottom of his heart.
The memories obtained from the crystal ball started to be compared with the environment here, where they were being confirmed and verified bit by bit. Along with the Air-striking Fist Technique, which Ou Yangming comprehended in the ring, he felt like he was suddenly enlightened. At last, Ou Yangming exhaled and retrieved a leather bag from his waist.
A Big Abdomen Ghost Spider was an incredibly rare and peculiar creature. The creature was born with certain interspatial ability and once it died, it would be one of the best materials for the refinement of an interspatial bag.
Nonetheless, it was not easy to successfully refine an interspatial bag.
After researching and gathering experiences for a long time, Ou Yangming was finally confident enough to try.
He gently lifted one of the leather bag’s corners and channeled his consciousness into it. It was pitch black inside as though it could fit the whole world, and he could not explore with his mental conception.
This was the uniqueness of a special material, but without such a noteworthy property, how could it be used to refine an interspatial bag?
Ou Yangming, who was well-prepared, reached out his hand and made strokes in the void. Each time he made a stroke, a rune was drawn.
This was not a simple pattern, but a unique composite that was formed through the combination of several runes.
It was another field in the path of runes, where even formation masters could not necessarily complete the runes combination.
This was because one needed to have a profound understanding and remarkable control over interspatial power. It was worth noting that the slightest deviation in the process would cause all efforts to go in vain. On top of that, the material would be destroyed, and the refiner would suffer a substantial and irreparable loss.
Being well aware of the dangers, Ou Yangming was exceptionally careful with every step he took.
Runes were finally drawn in the void and were sent into the leather bag, which vibrated and underwent a bizarre change.
Ou Yangming was delighted because everything that happened so far was the same as what was described in the crystal ball. The Space Runes combination, if in contact with ordinary materials, would surely ruin them, but it could merge and be successfully stabilized if it was in contact with a suitable material.
Needless to say, the refinement of an interspatial bag was not easy. Even the lowest grade interspatial bag could only be supported with the fusion of more than ten composite runes.
Based on Ou Yangming’s great mental power, it was not tough for him to depict composite runes, but it was not easy to successfully merge the combinations.
He wanted to enter the secret realm to show the imperial family’s strongest powerhouse his ability, but most importantly, the interspatial secret realm’s unique environment was slightly advantageous for the stabilization of an interspatial bag.
The slight advantage must not be underestimated because a small difference could sometimes be the deciding factor for a success or a failure.
Eventually, the second composite rune combination was drawn, and Ou Yangming composed himself before he sent it into the leather bag.
‘Careful, careful, be careful!’
This was Ou Yangming’s only thought at the moment, and a bead of sweat could be seen rolling down his forehead.
When he increased his energy, essence, and spirit to their maximum points, he could not control certain natural responses from his
body.
Ou Yangming knew if two rune combinations could not merge and support each other, the refinement would be a failure. Even if the young fellow succeeded this time, he would need to carry out the fusion more than eight times. Each attempt would be a test so huge that he could not afford any mistakes.
When two rune combinations with different sources and shapes touched, Ou Yangming sensed their mighty powers.
This was the power of space, that was much more powerful than any other power he had encountered.
Ou Yangming was also rather fearful because he suddenly realized that he underestimated interspatial power. If the two powers had not merged successfully and exploded instead, he probably would not survive.
The young fellow was walking a tightrope at the moment. If he took a wrong step or lost his balance, he would fall into the abyss and would be smashed into pieces.
Ou Yangming inhaled deeply and focused on the process.
Next, there was an abnormal change in the depths of his sea of consciousness.
A purple light gathered in the deepest part of the consciousness, then it was released into the leather bag along with his mental conception, where it arrived inside the two composite rune combinations.
Following that, the rune combinations, which were initially merging carefully, integrated smoothly as if the conditions were suddenly right.
They were connected yet independent, forming an odd yet firm and magical interspatial shelf.
Ou Yangming’s face twitched as he wondered, ‘What’s going on? How can the Military Fire manage Space Runes too…’
