Although the Red Rope Gourd is not a precious item, it has been fired through the lava segment and mixed with overly complex materials. Even Lin Beichen can only discern its function but cannot create an exact replica.
Lin Beichen examined it for a while and discovered that apart from some lava and Earth Vein spiritual energy inside, there was also a strange sense of space.
"So this is how it is."
Lin Beichen seemed to be deep in thought.
Previously, he found it odd that the jade stone inside the Red Rope Gourd was extremely thin — so thin that it was difficult to make even with current techniques.
It must be understood that, despite cultivators having refined skills, even the most refined skills require space to be exercised properly.
And the Red Rope Gourd is entirely intact without any signs of cracking or bonding, indicating that when processing this item, the method of cutting wasn’t chosen, but rather the growth attachment method was used.
Plants are alive. After cutting away a thin layer of the skin and attaching the jade pendant, it is accelerated by a special growth nutrient solution, and over the years, the jade pendant forms a layer of skin attached beneath the gourd surface.
Due to the special nature of this jade stone, it created the unique characteristics of the whole gourd.
Lin Beichen was overjoyed.
Although he had opened the Celestial Gate, he had not yet made a magical artifact for himself.
Ordinary items did not interest him, and rare items were hard to find due to his high standards.
So even though he had cultivated the decay and prosperity body, Lin Beichen had no real personal magical artifact.
But this item before him was different.
This Red Rope Gourd may not be a treasure worthy of entrusting a soul to, but due to its special nature, if refined properly, a special array can be added to it.
By using five elements spiritual energy and withered and flourishing spiritual energy, its inherent properties can be amplified, gradually causing it to transform.
Ordinary Red Rope Gourds can only be used to house a bit of spiritual energy, but with his techniques, this item can transform into a small storage space.
It is said that high cultivators can use a spatial seed to store everything, and at a high level of cultivation, they can even store an entire operating world.
Lin Beichen may not have such divine techniques, but he can continuously cultivate, grow stronger himself, thereby enlarging this space. The future capacity of the Red Rope Gourd relies not on the item but on Lin Beichen.
Releasing his spiritual energy, Lin Beichen entered the so-called Celestial Gate era, yet the era’s progress was still in its early stages, far from the grand competition of all beings.
"I can refine this item into a growing space where anything absorbed into it will be bathed in spiritual energy, gradually receiving nourishment."
"Can be enlarged, not merely a bit of soul?"
"Even the nine souls refined by the high cultivators are likely just nine artifacts resonating with the soul. It’s normal for Huang Henxin and others to be deceived not having seen real soul techniques."
After figuring things out, a faint smile appeared on Lin Beichen’s face.
"Forget everything else, let’s first take this item for my own use."
Lin Beichen thought silently and immediately injected spiritual energy into it.
Inside the Red Rope Gourd, there was a faint seal, but under the fierce bombardment of Lin Beichen’s spiritual energy, it dissipated within less than a second.
Soon, the entire Jade Gourd was covered with Lin Beichen’s spiritual energy and had already become part of him.
After today, regardless of who discovered this item, it has already become his.
And as Lin Beichen’s cultivation grows stronger, this item will become his personal possession.
Though it can currently only hold some small personal items, if he continually cultivates, one day, even if this item can hold a million-people city, Lin Beichen will not be surprised.
Inside the gourd were already some items.
But after checking, Lin Beichen found them to be old and useless books and miscellaneous things, clearly ancient collectibles from thousands of years ago.
"Although these can be considered antiques, there aren’t many of real value. I started the Celestial Gate era, and I don’t have to favor the ancient over now, thinking their cultivation methods are profound..."
Lin Beichen thought silently, but a trace of pride flashed in his eyes.
It’s not that he looked down on ancient people, but before the Celestial Gate opened, everyone could only expand themselves by various means.
Fighting against heaven and earth with flesh and blood — isn’t that ridiculous?
Without the blessing of Celestial Gate spiritual energy, a flesh and blood body is just a rootless wildfire; no matter how fiercely it burns, it’s still just a moment.
How easy is it to fight against heaven and earth?
Lin Beichen casually waved his hand, and a distant table instantly turned into shadows. Then, under Huang Henxin’s dumbfounded gaze, the table seemed to disintegrate molecularly, disappearing into the void.
Huang Henxin stared in bewilderment, unable to believe what he saw, his eyes filled with intense shock.
"Sir, what happened?"
Huang Henxin exclaimed excitedly, like seeing a ghost, unable to believe it.
Having witnessed many major events alongside Zhou Kuangtian over the years, none combined add up to the shock of a disappearing table.
