Urban Extraordinary Immortal Doctor-Chapter 883: Refining a Storage Spiritual Artifact

After advancing in his realm, Fang Bai did not rush to leave the underground space.

Having reached the Surging Essence Realm, Fang Bai, facing a large amount of Essence Stones in the underground space, first used the Space Stone and Gold in his Spatial Ring, along with his Divine Sense and the spatial formations he knew from his previous life, to start crafting a new Spatial Ring.

Fang Bai found a clean spot and sat down cross-legged, his left palm extended flatly upward, and began to circulate Fire Primordial Qi.

A moment later, with a light "boom," the Fire Primordial Qi gathered at the end of Fang Bai’s left palm turned into a cluster of crimson flames.

Although it was just a small cluster of red flames, it was condensed from the extremely pure Fire Primordial Qi within Fang Bai’s body. The temperature of the flame far exceeded that of ordinary fire.

At this time, if someone were to stretch an iron rod as thick as an arm into this cluster of crimson flames held by Fang Bai, the iron rod would melt into molten iron in just a few moments.

The ability to condense Fire Primordial Qi outside the body into a tangible flame was one of the benefits of advancing to the Surging Essence Realm.

Fang Bai glanced at the flames rising in his palm with a look of joy on his face, then he took out a Space Stone and a piece of Gold from his Spatial Ring in succession.

This Space Stone was incidentally acquired by Fang Bai during his time in the Stone-Solving Yard; it had been kept in the Spatial Ring ever since. Now that he had the ability to craft storage Spiritual Artifacts, this Space Stone would be very useful.

As for the piece of Gold, Fang Bai planned to refine it into Fine Gold and then use it along with the Space Stone to craft a Spatial Ring with a larger storage space.

So-called Fine Gold is Gold that has been refined several times until highly pure. With his current strength, Fang Bai could already produce Fine Gold.

Fang Bai placed the piece of Gold into the crimson flames in his palm and fully stimulated the Fire Primordial Qi, making the flames more vigorous and the temperature higher.

After a dozen moments, the piece of Gold had turned into a liquid, its impurities continuously removed by the high temperature of the flames.

Soon, a palm-sized piece of Gold shrunk to the size of a peanut, turning into a piece of qualified Fine Gold.

After refining the Fine Gold, Fang Bai began to refine the Space Stone.

The Space Stone is an extremely unique type of stone, harder than many steels, and much more difficult to refine than Fine Gold.

It took Fang Bai half of two hours to refine the Space Stone, after which he mixed the Fine Gold into the refined Space Stone, and the two different materials quickly fused together.

At this time, Fang Bai began to release his Divine Sense.

After advancement, Fang Bai’s Divine Sense also became more wondrous, which not only manifested in a broader scatter range but also allowed him to manipulate some objects at close range.

For instance, at this moment, Fang Bai’s Divine Sense acted like a pair of invisible hands that, according to Fang Bai’s will, gradually shaped the melted Space Stone and Fine Gold into the form of a ring.

After the ring took shape, Fang Bai reduced some Fire Primordial Qi, waiting for the temperature of the flames to decrease. He then controlled his Divine Sense to engrave strange and mysterious runes on the surface of the formed ring.

The mysterious runes engraved by Fang Bai exuded infinite subtleties and contained the laws of space. They could not be understood by those who were not Array Masters, and even mediocre Array Masters found them difficult to perceive.

The runes on the surface of the ring were the spatial formation.

The spatial formation is the final crucial phase in crafting storage Spiritual Artifacts, and extremely important at that. Without the spatial formation, the Spatial Ring Fang Bai crafted using the Space Stone and Fine Gold would be no more than a defective product.

The realm of the martial artist, the skill level of the array master, and the grade of the space stone directly determined the storage capacity of the crafted spiritual artifact.

In his previous life, Fang Bai was an immortal rank array master in the nine Heavenly Domains of the Immortal Realm, hailed as peerless in crafting spiritual medicine and spiritual artifacts. Unfortunately, even a skilled chef can’t cook without rice. His rank as an array master was high enough, but the space stone he had was of low quality, and Fang Bai’s current realm wasn’t very high either. Thus, the spatial ring he crafted was only considered a low-grade spiritual artifact.

Despite this, the spatial ring he had just crafted had a storage space several times larger than the one he wore on his finger.

This underground space was abundant in essence stones. Fang Bai estimated that there were at least several million pieces, and the grade of these essence stones was slightly higher than those found in the cracks of the rocks.

Unfortunately, Fang Bai only had two spatial rings on him, which could hold at most a few hundred thousand essence stones, making him feel somewhat regretful.

"Forget it, let’s take some now, and when they’re almost used up, I’ll come back and get more!"

After filling the two spatial rings with essence stones, Fang Bai thought to himself.

The Antarctica Continent was very remote for ordinary people, and a trip there was not easy. But for Fang Bai, this was no problem at all; with his power, coming and going as he pleased was as easy as enjoying a leisurely trip.

"Brother Fang, if you don’t come out soon, I’m going to leave!"

Wu De, who had been waiting at the edge of the crevasse for several two hours, finally grew impatient. He leaned over, gathered his essence energy, and shouted.

Before his voice had died away, he saw a white figure shoot up like a cannon from the bottom of the crevasse, landing beside him.

"Little brother, you’ve finally come up!"

Seeing Fang Bai come up, Wu De couldn’t help but beam with joy. He circled around Fang Bai and eventually his gaze settled on the spatial ring on Fang Bai’s left hand, chuckling, "How did it go? Did you reach the very bottom of the crevasse? Did you find anything major?"

The spatial ring Fang Bai had just crafted was tucked away inside the original spatial ring to avoid Wu De making a fuss after seeing it.

"Nothing much, just essence stones underground, but in a substantial amount!"

Fang Bai said with a smile, knowing that Wu De must have harvested quite a few essence stones between the crevasses, so he didn’t plan on sharing the essence stones he had mined.

"How substantial?"

Wu De’s eyes lit up, and he rubbed his hands together excitedly.

Fang Bai’s long howl from underground earlier had clearly been filled with surprise and excitement. Wu De surmised from this that there must have been a significant number of essence stones, otherwise Fang Bai wouldn’t have cried out excitedly.

"Probably a few million pieces!"

Fang Bai did not conceal the number of essence stones from Wu De. He knew Wu De’s spatial ring could only carry tens of thousands of essence stones at a time, and Wu De didn’t use as many essence stones during cultivation. He definitely couldn’t compare with him, so most of the essence stones in the underground space of this crevasse would ultimately end up being used by him.

Moreover, reaching the bottom of the crevasse was thousands of meters down, and it wouldn’t be easy for Wu De to make the trip.

"Several million pieces? Haha, I’ve struck it rich...truly rich..."

Wu De danced excitedly, saying, "With so many essence stones, they’re enough for Taoist Master me to cultivate to the Heaven Level realm. No! I should be able to reach an even higher realm!"
