Chapter 283 - The Repaired Ring- II

Jing Wei himself had not expected that he would fully succeed and that too up to an extent like this. The techniques that he had devised were mostly guess work, and he had used incomplete theories that had been present in his clan's records for a while now.

Jing Wei even had used something which he had thought was wrong and would have been laughed at if it was ever revealed to the world. Even he himself had laughed at the technique when it was theorized and had rejected the person who had made it.

'Seems like you were way ahead of me Luo'er, I regret the day I let you go. If I ever got the chance to go back in time, I would rebel against the very heavens to save you.' Jing Wei thought with a little sorrow.

Jing Wei pushed his thoughts back as he focused on the treasure in front of him. He knew that this was the start of a new era of spirit tool refinement.

The spatial storage ring in front of him was for sure the highest quality spatial storage treasure in the entire Great Zhou empire. But this put him in a bit of a shock, as he knew that what he had made was still an inferior product.

Jing Wei knew that even with all the skills he had used, the ring was barely at five percent of its full potential since he was still restricted by the materials. He had already tried many materials, but barely any of them were suitable and even less were available.

Jing Wei held the ring in his hand and probed it with his spirit sense, wanting to get a true gauge of its capacity.

~Gasp~

"A… thousand…" Jing Wei muttered.

Duan Ke and Lin Mu had already come close by now and heard what Jing Wei had said. Even if he had just muttered it, both of them had high enough cultivation to listen to.

"A thousand what?" Lin Mu asked.

Although Lin Mu did not know what Jing Wei was getting at, Duan Ke knew exactly what he was talking about.

"Really grandfather, a thousand meters?" Duan Ke asked with apprehension.

"Yes… take a look." Jing Wei said as he handed the ring to her.

Jing Wei meanwhile was lost in his own thoughts as he pondered over the entire process of refining. He was learning from the mistakes he had made during the refinement as well as the new insights he had gained.

Duan Ke held the ring and checked it with her own spirit sense and found it to be true as Jing Wei had said.

"A size of more than a thousand cubic meters… Truly a masterpiece." Duan Ke muttered in amazement.

"Wait, the ring has a storage size of a thousand cubic meters? But mine…" Just as he was about to continue that sentence, he held his tongue.

Lin Mu remembered what he should and should not say. One of the biggest things being the truth of the ring. If the size of the ring Jing Wei had repaired was just that much size, then his own ring was incomparable. The size of it was incomprehensible to even Senior Xukong.

Duan Ke's hand was trembling slightly after having confirmed her grandfather's words. She looked at the ring with a longing for a bit before handing it to Lin Mu.

"Here, take it," Duan Ke said.

"Huh, oh yeah." Lin Mu said awkwardly as he took the ring.

He could sense the spatial energy from the ring better than anyone here. He actually felt it the moment the ring was completed and even the mysterious ring had reciprocated in response. Lin Mu knew that if he wanted to, he could rip the ring from their hands or perhaps even destroy it if he wanted to.

He couldn't exactly tell why, but these were the innate feeling he was getting in his mind. He slid on the ring to his index finger of his right hand, next to the mysterious ring. The ring was slightly bigger than his finger's size, but Lin Mu didn't worry as he now knew how it functioned now.

Lin Mu branded the ring with his spirit sense, and the ring automatically shrunk to fit his finger snugly. The contrast between the two rings was a bit appealing. The mysterious ring was sliver with five spurs, while the new spatial storage ring was golden with irregular green patterns that looked like cracks with a flat top and a green gem on top.

Lin Mu peered into the ring and saw its capacity for himself. He actually felt a bit uncomfortable seeing the space inside the ring as it was much more smaller than the mysterious ring and neither was there any free spatial energy shimmering around.

But while Lin Mu was appreciating the two rings, the pair of grandfather and granddaughter could only see a single ring on his hand that was the new ring with the green gem and green patterns. Lin Mu looked back at Jing Wei with a grateful expression.

"Thank you for repairing it. I can see that you had to spend a lot of effort and resources and fixing it, I am truly thankful for it." Lin Mu spoke.

"No, thank YOU for giving me the opportunity to do this. I've learned more from this than I've done in the past few centuries. You don't know what this means for us… for our clan…" Jing Wei spoke and trailed off.

Lin Mu saw that Jing Wei was moving to a more emotional state, thus decided to change the topic a little bit.

"Umm, will the courtyard be fine? I mean, there is a pretty big tear in the barrier," Lin Mu said with concern.

"Hahaha, oh that? You don't have to worry about that, it will fix itself after a couple of days. Though it was definitely worth it." Jing Wei said in a jovial manner as his state of mind shifted.
