Chapter 77: It's A Good Thing I'm Using A Storage Ring
"Storage ring?"
Before he came to participate in the mystic realm, the sect master had given two storage pouches to Chen Tian and Sub Bingxin, respectively. Although the space wasn't as large as Chen Tian's bronze storage ring, only about ten square meters, it could store many items.
It could be said that it was a necessity for cultivators. However, he didn't need one, as the storage he had was 100 times better than any storage pouches.
Storage rings were of a higher grade than storage bags. In comparison, storage bags were much larger than storage rings, so it was much easier to carve formations. Furthermore, because the materials were not too scarce, they could be mass-produced, but there was not much space.
As for storage rings, because the size of the ring was very small and the engravings of the array formation were very strict and there could not be the slightest deviation, they were rarer than storage bags and not something that ordinary cultivators could use.
Furthermore, storage rings needed to be bound by blood to their owners. If the original owner did not take the initiative to remove the connection, others would not be able to use it. Of course, if the original owner died, the connection with the storage ring would also be severed.
A storage ring was much more useful than a storage bag, and it was also much larger. It was impossible for this woman's storage ring to not have any treasure. Chen Tian was indeed tempted, but if he killed someone because of a storage ring, then it wouldn't matter from his perspective.
However, Su Bingxin was a kindhearted person. Although the female cultivator had offended him before, she didn't deserve death. If Chen Tian killed someone and stole their ring, what would Su Bingxin think?
However, there should be quite a lot of treasure in the ring. Someone had already fed him food. It would be bad if he didn't eat it. Kill her and take the ring? Or let them go? He wasn't a saint.
The main thing was that Su Bingxin was by his side. He had to consider Su Bingxin's feelings.
"That's right. For other people, perhaps there are only these two methods, but for me, it might not be the case." Chen Tian suddenly thought of something and said enthusiastically.
"Can you open it?" Su Bingxin asked.
Chen Tian thought for a moment and said, "I have a way to open the ring without killing her."
"What is it?" Su Bingxin asked curiously.
She also knows that the only way to open a storage ring is by either the owner opening it or if the owner is dead.
"I can use my spirit sense to open the ring," Chen Tian said. "But it's a bit risky. If I'm not careful, I could damage the ring or even destroy its content."
"It's worth a try," Su Bingxin said. "We can't kill someone, and don't forget that we are being watched by the sects." Su Bingxin reminded Chen Tian that they were being tested and being watched by everyone outside the mystic realm.
"Yeah, that's another problem, but not for now."
"What do you mean?"
"Just think about it; there are over 30,000 people participating in the Immortal Sword Sect's assessment. Do you think that the Immortal Sword Sect has the time to observe two nobodies?"
Chen Tian's words surprised Su Bingxin and made her realize that he was right. "So what are you saying?"
"I'm saying that for them, we don't have a chance. We're just two ordinary people. We don't have any special abilities or talents. We're not going to be able to compete with the other disciples.
And I could bet that more than half of them are watching the Immortal Sect Disciplines that also entered the mystic realm with us."
"Well, maybe there is one person that is watching us, and that is that old bastard," Chen Tian added with a darkened face.
"Let's open this ring and collect the Golden fruits, then leave. Let me give it a try."
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Tian bent down and removed the storage ring from the female cultivator's hand before using his spirit sense to try to sever the connection with the ring owner.
He was being cautious not to make any mistakes, Chen Tian knew that even a minor error could potentially destroy the content of the ring. With great precision, he started to manipulate his spirit sense, aiming to sever the delicate connection that existed.
Fifteen minutes later, Chen Tian slowly opened his eyes and extended his left hand.
"It's done!"
Now, as long as he willed it, the items in the ring could be taken out at will.
Su Bingxin, who had just finished collecting the Golden fruits, also walked over. When she saw Chen Tian taking out and putting in items to familiarize himself with the ring, her face was filled with shock.
She knew it was not easy for someone to break the connection between an item and its owner. Su
Bingxin approached Chen Tian cautiously, her eyes wide with astonishment.
"You really did it."
Chen Tian smiled and nodded. "Of course, if I said I could do something, I always followed through."
"Did you take all the Golden fruits?"
"Yes, the Golden Fruit has been harvested. Let's go."
"Wait a moment." Chen Tian stopped her and took hold of her hand.
Su Bingxin could feel her heart skip a beat as Chen Tian held her hand. There was a moment of silence between them; their eyes locked in an intimate gaze.
Chen Tian's touch sent a gentle warmth coursing through Su Bingxin's veins, and she couldn't help but feel a rush of emotions.
"Hh?"
"This storage ring will come in handy in the future. I already have one, so take this ring."
Chen Tian carefully placed the ring on her finger, Su Bingxin understood his purpose.
"No, I can't accept that it's..." Su Bingxin tried refusing; she knew that storage rings were very rare and valuable items, and she didn't want to burden Chen Tian with such a gift.
But Chen Tian insisted, holding the storage ring gently in his hand. His eyes were filled with sincerity and a touch of shyness. "Bingxin, please accept it. It's not just any gift; it's a symbol of our bond as dao companions."
Su Bingxin felt her cheeks grow warm as she looked into Chen Tian's eyes.
She hesitated for a moment, contemplating the implications of accepting such a precious item. But then she realized that Chen Tian's gesture came from the heart, a genuine expression of his feelings for her. Su Bingxin smiled softly, her blush deepening. "Chen Tian, I... I'm deeply touched. Thank you."
Chen Tian's face lit up with joy, and he gently took Su Bingxin's hand, slipping the storage ring onto her finger. It fit perfectly, as if it was meant to be there all along. "It's my honor to give this to you, Bingxin."
"Mmm." Su Bingxin couldn't help but feel overwhelmed by the warmth and affection radiating from Chen Tian.
"Let's leave," Su Bingxin suggested.
"Wait a moment." Chen Tian came to the first Sword cultivator and started searching.
Although the sword cultivator's cultivation level was not bad, his family clan was obviously not that powerful. He still used a storage bag. Then, Chen Tian transferred the treasures in the storage bag into his own storage ring.
The storage bag was not worth much, so Chen Tian had no need to snatch it away.
"Alright, let's take a look elsewhere and see what else we can find."
.....
An hour later, the fainting crowd gradually regained consciousness.
"Ah!" A scream was heard. It startled those who had just woken up.
"What's wrong? What's going on? Is there an enemy attack?" Everyone instantly entered a state of alert.
"My, my, my storage pouch is empty!" cried a young woman with a trembling voice.
Soon, thirteen cries of agony rang out.
"My heavenly treasures! My many days of hard work!"
"My Pure Bone Flower!"
"Who the hell stole my refined gold crystal ore!"
"It must be that beggar, Chen Tian!"
"Yes, yes, it must be him! We can't let him off no matter what!"
Even though he said that, when those green robes appeared in his mind, he immediately felt a deep sense of fear and powerlessness.
"It's a good thing I'm using a storage ring. Otherwise, I'd probably lose all the heavenly treasures I've painstakingly gathered…" The female cultivator subconsciously touched the ring on her hand.
"Ah!" A scream that was even more miserable than the previous fourteen screams resounded through the forest.
"My ring!" After a heart-wrenching scream, she fainted again.
Chen Tian and Su Bingxin, who had already left, were completely oblivious to this sight.
