Da Si Nong: I really don’t want to farm

Chapter 374 My Storage Ring
The things Xu Yue provided to the laboratory were indeed produced on an assembly line.

Those made with modern technology are actually more standardized.

Especially the rune inscription.

Why did Xu Yue refine it himself this time?

The most important thing is to test the weapon-forging method.

He also wanted to see the difference between the two.

"Why are you back so soon?"

Zhang Ruoxi looked at Xu Yue and asked with some confusion.

"Didn't I mention it to you before? There's a special metal in that container that might be the key to maintaining spatial stability," Xu Yue said. "The lab successfully extracted some, and I brought back half to see if I can refine it successfully."

"Oh?"

Zhang Ruoxi glanced at the metal in Xu Yue's hand, but didn't handle it to understand it.

"Does this metal contain any harmful substances?" Zhang Ruoxi asked. "Won't it affect the child?"

“No!” Xu Yue glanced at the two sleeping children and said, “If he did, Academician Liu wouldn’t have just held it in his hand and played with it.”

"Whether it's there or not, wash your hands before touching the child," Zhang Ruoxi said. "Have you mastered the art of weapon forging?"

"I'm theoretically proficient," Xu Yue said. "I'll practice some more later, without incorporating these special substances yet."

Zhang Ruoxi nodded. She hadn't learned it yet, but she already knew a little about it.

With her current cultivation level of the second realm, she simply cannot learn it.

The farming method of refining weapons requires the use of earth fire.

Fire is created from the earth's energy, and the form is shaped by the power of the spirit.

The earth's energy can be transformed into fire, which can be done with the help of formations and does not require a high level of cultivation. However, shaping the spirit requires a strong spiritual force.

Zhang Ruoxi is clearly still far from perfect.

"If it really works out, I'll give you a storage ring," Xu Yue said with a smile.

“A ring isn’t a container, will it work?” Zhang Ruoxi asked with a smile.

Xu Yue had previously experimented with containers: jars, bottles, etc.

“Who says a ring can’t be a container?” Xu Yue said. “However, if you’re worried that making a ring into a container will lack aesthetic appeal, you can design it first.”

"Let's succeed first," Zhang Ruoxi said with a smile. "However, if it can really be made into a ring or bracelet to wear on the hand, then it will be convenient to operate."

Xu Yue smiled and then went downstairs.

He couldn't wait.

Where should we test it?
Xu Yue did not choose the villa below.

He was afraid that if he didn't control the fire, it would burn down his villa.

Of course, the main concern is that it might affect the weapon forging process.

Who's influencing this?
Two kids, I suppose.

When the two children cried, Xu Yue's emotions inevitably fluctuated.

Refining and shaping weapons requires a high degree of mental concentration.

Xu Yue ultimately chose the laboratory side.

Although people come and go in the lab now, the space is large enough that no one will disturb you.

However, before starting to forge weapons, some things naturally need to be prepared.

Gold, silver, copper, iron, and even gold.

All of these need to be prepared.

Refining weapons naturally requires materials.

With everything prepared, Xu Yue then set up an array in the laboratory office.

"start!"

The formation was activated, and a flame shot out, with an astonishing temperature.

Even the surrounding temperature-controlled array couldn't suppress it.

Xu Yue then set up another formation to isolate the fire.

The surrounding temperature then dropped.

With everything prepared, Xu Yue immediately began refining the weapon.

Throw an iron block into the flames and use your mental power to control it, making the iron block levitate and gradually transform it into an iron gourd.

The iron gourd was naturally covered with runes.

The formation dissipated, and the iron gourd fell to the ground, but Xu Yue felt a sense of exhaustion.

The mental energy consumption is too great.

After the iron gourd cooled down, Xu Yue picked it up, examined it, and then activated its runes.

"Crack!"

Xu Yue didn't use it either, and put some more things in.

Unfortunately, it still broke.

However, it lasts longer than something made using technological means.

This was somewhat unexpected for Xu Yue.

Why is there a difference?
Was it forged by the earth's fire, or was it because of the spiritual imprint left on that iron gourd?
Subsequently, Xu Yue tried some with materials such as steel, silver, and gold.

The duration of the effect seems to increase with the hardness of the material.

However, just like before, it was simply unbearable.

After gaining proficiency, Xu Yue did not immediately add the special metal.

He needs to regain his mental strength.

"Is your mental energy being used up a lot?"

Zhang Ruoxi looked at Xu Yue and asked.

"Hmm!" Xu Yue nodded and said, "No wonder the art of weapon forging can only be practiced by those at the fourth realm. With the spiritual power of those at the third realm, it's simply impossible."

“Even the spiritual power of a third realm would probably be insufficient to levitate objects, right?” Zhang Ruoxi said. “With my current spiritual power, I’m afraid I can only make some light things move at most.”

"Are you planning to incorporate that special metal into it tomorrow?" Zhang Ruoxi asked. "You should be more proficient by now, right?"

"Let's wait a few days," Xu Yue said. "I've been quite mentally exhausted these past few days. Let's wait until I'm fully recovered. Perhaps my mental strength will even increase."

Consumption and recovery, repeated in this way, might be able to break through the bottleneck.

"Ok!"

Zhang Ruoxi nodded.

Xu Yue returned home a few days ago, but he was somewhat listless. Although he recovered a lot the next day, he was not fully recovered.

A few days later, in the laboratory.

Xu Yue skillfully melted steel, copper, gold, silver, and other materials, and then added a little bit of a special substance.

After several days of experimentation, Xu Yue naturally made some progress.

For example, fusing substances like gold, silver, copper, and steel will undoubtedly last longer.

Whether these substances would become harder after being mixed, Xu Yue did not know, but judging from the time it lasted, it certainly did.

Therefore, the first thing Xu Yue fused was a mixture of multiple metals.

An alloy gourd is formed.

Xu Yue then activated it.

What should we decorate?
Xu Yue was still a little nervous at this moment.

Success or failure depends on this.

The physical capacity is not large; this gourd can be easily held in one hand.

However, the space has a considerable capacity. Xu Yue sensed it with his divine sense and found that it could hold at least several buckets of water.

Then let's fill it with rainwater.

The gourd did not immediately break when the spiritual rainwater was poured in.

done?

They continued to pour in the rainwater until the gourd was full, but it did not break.

Become!

Xu Yue smiled.

Opening that space requires primordial energy, so although this gourd has no stopper, the water inside definitely won't spill out.

Unless the gourd's physical capacity is filled with water.

However, it feels a bit off without Sai.

Xu Yue then crafted a stopper, which immediately made the room look much nicer.

and many more!

Xu Yue suddenly thought of a question.

He felt as if he had fallen into a mental no-go zone.

Who says that spatial magical artifacts need to be in the form of containers?

After all, the space containing the items is formed by the array, not the actual physical space of the container.

Therefore, a spatial interpretation may not necessarily be unacceptable.

The ring itself has no space, but runes can create space.

Xu Yue then crafted a ring and engraved runes on it.

This time he didn't integrate it with that special metal. Hmm?
There really is space!

"Crack!"

Needless to say, anything put inside will immediately break.

As expected, that special metal is still needed.

He then needed to craft a spatial ring.

It's just that the space is a bit smaller than that of the gourd.

So what usage habits dictate the size of the space?
It's definitely not the shape of a magic weapon.

Is it related to the amount of special metals?

Try it!

Xu Yue then crafted another ring, this time incorporating even more special metals.

Sure enough!

The space is much larger.

However, Xu Yue frowned again.

He felt that, in terms of considerations, a ring with a large space seemed less desirable than one with a small space.

Proportion!

Xu Yue suddenly realized the reason.

The type of metal used is important for the size of the space, but it can also affect the sturdiness of the ritual implements.

You can't have your cake and eat it too.

After pondering it for a while and trying it out a few more times, Xu Yue went back.

"Done?"

Seeing Xu Yue's excited expression, Zhang Ruoxi looked up and asked a question.

"What's done?"

Li Xiurong, who was holding her younger brother, casually asked a question out of curiosity.

“It’s done.” Xu Yue nodded and said, “It is indeed related to that special metal. The more special metal there is, the larger the space will be, but if the proportion is not well controlled, it will affect the sturdiness.”

Li Xiurong was completely confused.

"About the school lab."

Seeing Li Xiurong's confusion, Xu Yue simply smiled and offered an explanation.

Upon hearing this, Li Xiurong immediately lost interest.

After putting the child to sleep, I went downstairs to cook.

It wasn't that Xu Yue wanted to deliberately keep it a secret, but the fewer people who knew about it, the better.

Although Li Xiurong isn't a big mouth, it's better not to tell anyone for now.

"Hey!" Xu Yue took out a golden ring and said, "This is a storage ring I crafted."

"Can I use it?" Zhang Ruoxi asked. "If I can't open up my internal energy, I can't use it even if you give it to me."

“Try it!” Xu Yue said. “You can’t open that Douhu space because there are other reasons, such as it’s too far away from now.”

"it is good!"

Zhang Ruoxi nodded, then took the ring and looked at it, but didn't feel that it was any different.

I channeled my inner energy, but there was no response.

He then used his mental power to sense it, but found nothing.

She couldn't sense the space within the ring.

"Isn't it okay?"

Xu Yue frowned, then said.

"If your spiritual imprint and true energy were left during the refining process, would that be feasible?"

Xu Yue then came up with another idea.

"Let's talk about it after I finish my confinement!" Zhang Ruoxi said. "Why don't you try asking your third uncle tomorrow? If his internal energy works, then my true energy should work too."

“Then I’ll try asking my third uncle tomorrow,” Xu Yue said. “However, my third uncle is a martial arts practitioner, and he is somewhat lacking in spiritual power.”

Martial arts practitioners naturally possess much stronger mental strength than ordinary people.

However, compared to spiritual practitioners who specialize in cultivating spiritual power, they are far inferior.

However, the three martial arts practitioners have already begun to delve into the cultivation of spiritual power.

It's just that none of the martial arts practitioners at the fourth realm place an emphasis on spiritual power.

“If Uncle San is unable to perceive that space due to insufficient spiritual power, then you can consider asking Guo Tianyou and Liu Chengji to try,” Zhang Ruoxi said. “They are both third-realm spiritual cultivators, so their spiritual power should not be weak. Moreover, if magic power works, then my true energy should also work.”

"Ok!"

Xu Yue nodded.

"Is that special metal enough?"

Zhang Ruoxi continued to ask.

“That’s enough,” Xu Yue said. “If too much is added, the magic artifact itself will become too fragile.”

The next day, Xu Yue not only invited Xu Jianghe, but also Liu Chengji and Guo Tianyou, who were busy in Lijia Village.

"I called you here today to cooperate with an experiment," Xu Yue said. "Whether it succeeds or not, do not publicize it."

Xu Jianghe didn't say anything, he just nodded.

Although they were curious, they did not ask any questions.

However, Xu Yue later provided them with an answer.

"Use your mental powers to sense it."

Xu Yue then took out the spatial artifact he had refined the day before and handed it to the three of them.

"Magical weapon?"

Guo Tianyou sensed something was amiss, but couldn't quite put his finger on it.

"Then try inputting your mana or internal energy!"

Xu Yue then spoke.

The three did as instructed, but it seemed to have no effect.

"what is this?"

Xu Jianghe asked.

He also realized it was a magical artifact.

However, martial arts practitioners generally do not use magical artifacts.

For them, divine weapons are far more useful than magical artifacts.

"A spatial artifact!"

Xu Yue then noticed that there wasn't much water left in the water dispenser, so he took the water bottle off the shelf and poured the water from the iron gourd into it.

The bucket was slammed against the door, and the water inside the iron gourd seemed to be flowing out endlessly.

That palm-sized iron gourd contained so much water.

Xu Jianghe and the other two were stunned.

Such a magical artifact actually exists in the world?

It's incredible.

Although they were cultivators, they always believed that those spatial magical artifacts were just fictional creations from novels and movies.

I didn't expect it really exists.

“I’ve been refining a spatial artifact recently,” Xu Yue said. “However, once it’s finished, only I can use it; no one else can sense or open the space. The reason I’ve invited you here is to test whether you can use it if I imprint your spiritual mark on it and inject your magic power or internal energy during the refining process.”

Upon hearing this, Xu Jianghe and the other two's eyes lit up with anticipation.

That's a spatial magic treasure; who wouldn't want to own one?

That thing is so useful.

"To refine a spatial artifact, I need this special substance," Xu Yue said. "The school lab didn't extract much, and this is all I have. I hope it will be successful."

As Xu Yue spoke, he immediately activated the formation, and flames rose up.

Xu Jianghe didn't seem to notice anything, but Guo Tianyou and Liu Chengji exchanged a glance and both saw the shock in each other's eyes.

Xu Yue actually transformed the earth's energy into flames.

The flame was very hot.

Sure enough, metals like gold and silver began to fuse immediately when placed inside, demonstrating just how high the temperature was.

"What kind of formation is this?" Xu Jianghe said in surprise. "Using this to destroy evidence is simply...unbelievable."

Xu Yue was almost distracted by Xu Jianghe's words.

Used to destroy evidence of a corpse?

Huh?
It seems that it really isn't impossible.

At the temperature of this flame, a corpse would probably turn to ashes in no time.

Or another gust of wind could scatter all the ashes.

However, Xu Yue quickly regained his composure and continued refining the weapon.

Xu Jianghe clearly noticed Xu Yue's unusual behavior and quickly shut up, his face showing embarrassment.

I realized I had interrupted Xu Yue's weapon forging.
