Chapter 198 Space Energy

"How is it? You've never seen such a big "Star Stone" before, right?"

Lou Gao saw Ling Yi's interested look on his face, walked up to him and said proudly.

"Star Stone?"

Ling Yi repeated it. He was indeed somewhat interested. His keen perception allowed him to sense that this sapphire emitting starlight contained an extremely powerful energy.

The most important thing is that Ling Yi, who has already started to study and create a storage soul guide, sensed a ripple similar to space fluctuations in the sapphire.

"Hmm~" Lou Gao continued, "This thing contains a mysterious space energy, but for thousands of years, no one has ever found a way to activate this space energy. Gradually, this "Star Stone" has become a useless ornament..."

"Most of the 'star stones' produced so far are the size of fingers or even fingernails. They are too small for gemstones and are useless. If it weren't for the spatial energy inside, they wouldn't even have much collection value."

After a pause, as if remembering something, Lou Gao continued, "By the way, I heard that there is a bigger one in 'Xingluo City', named 'Starlight Sapphire', and it is collected by the royal Dai family."

Listening to Lou Gao's introduction, Ling Yi did not comment, but just stared at the "Starry Sky Stone" that was the size of an adult's fist, as if he was thinking about something.

Suddenly, Ling Yi raised his hand, took off the bracelet storage soul guide on his wrist, held the two white jade stones inlaid on the bracelet in front of his eyes, and compared them with the "Starry Sky Stone".

Lou Gao, who was originally confused by Ling Yi's actions, saw three gems, one big and two small, one blue and two white, placed together, and an idea suddenly popped up in his mind.

“What the hell!” Lou Gao suddenly cursed and quickly moved forward, his eyes almost popping out.

“A…Ayi…you…you mustn’t tell me, this ‘Starry Sky Stone’…and…and the ‘Space Gem’ on the storage soul guide, is…is…”

Lou Gao stuttered and couldn't speak clearly, so Ling Yi interrupted him directly and said, "It should be the same type of treasure."

After receiving words of affirmation from Ling Yi, Lou Gao stopped stuttering and stood there with a look of ecstasy gradually creeping up his messy bearded face.

After more than ten breaths, Lou Gao looked at Ling Yi who was still comparing the two gems, and as if waking up from a dream, he asked hurriedly: "Ayi, how is it? Can the "Starry Sky Stone" replace the "Space Gem"? As a space medium for the storage soul guide?"

If it can really be replaced, then the value of "Star Stone" will usher in a surge. At this time, we can take the opportunity to buy a large amount at a low price, then...

wrong!

Lou Gao shook his head violently, raised his hand and slapped himself on the forehead, thinking that he was useless. He could already make a storage soul guide, so who would care about the little gem raw materials?

However, the most important thing at the moment is whether the "Star Stone" can replace the "Space Jade" and how to stimulate the space energy inside.

It has been at least thousands of years since the storage soul guide was excavated from ancient ruins, and it is not that no one has thought about studying its principles and craftsmanship, so as to create a new storage soul guide.

But unfortunately, like most soul guides, there are very few individuals and forces willing to invest energy in this area. As a result, there are not many research results on soul guide arrays over the years.

Another thing is the existence of "Space Gem". This kind of treasure containing stable space energy seems to have become extinct in Douluo Continent.

It's not to say that there are no other treasures containing space energy on Douluo Continent, such as the "Starry Sky Stone" in front of us, as well as the "Void Gravel", the skull of the "Sky-Escape Rat", the arm blade of the "Void-Breaking Mantis"... Whether it is mineral treasures or materials from soul beasts, people have conducted relevant research, but the results were not satisfactory, and eventually nothing came of it.

In this world where knowledge inheritance is not very important, this kind of failed experiment is even less worthy of being recorded, so much so that Lou Gao is not even aware that someone once considered using "Star Stone" as a substitute for "Space Jade", but it ultimately ended in failure.

No matter how unclear he is, over the years, Lou Gao has almost blindly trusted Ling Yi, even to the point of worship. As long as Ling Yi nods and says there is a way, he will definitely believe it unconditionally.

Ling Yi put on his bracelet storage soul guide again, took one last look at the oversized "Star Stone", turned around, pulled the hand next to him, and walked towards the exit of the secret library, saying as he walked:

"Find me a few smaller pieces of Star Stone later, and I'll study them first."

"I have already copied out the space expansion soul guide array pattern, but the space stabilization soul guide array pattern is still a little lacking. After all, I didn't have the "space gem" before. When I used other materials instead, those small spaces that were expanded basically opened and disappeared instantly because there was no blessing of space energy. There was no chance to proceed to the next step..."

"No problem!" Lou Gao patted his chest and said excitedly, "I remember that there are some "Star Stones" for sale in the high-end trading area on the second floor. I'll ask Silong to bring them over in a while!"

"Ayi, what do you think? If the 'Starry Sky Stone' can really replace the extinct 'Space Gem', should we first purchase all the 'Starry Sky Stone' on the mainland?"

Lou Gao followed Ling Yi and told him the plan he had just made in his mind: "More than 99% of these "Starry Sky Stones" are the size of little fingers and fingernails. They are really not very eye-catching among the gem collections. Even the one belonging to the royal Dai family is said to be only the size of a palm. I estimate that it can be bought for a maximum of tens of thousands of gold soul coins..."

"That's the White Tiger Dai Family," Ling Yi glanced at the excited Lou Gao and said coldly, "Do you think they are short of those tens of thousands of gold soul coins?"

“Uh…” Lou Gao paused after hearing this, and then said unconvincedly: “It’s not like we’re buying their blood-red ruby ​​tiger that’s as big as a real tiger. If it weren’t for the “Starry Sky Stone” that’s bigger than a pigeon egg, you wouldn’t be able to find a hundred of them even if you searched the entire continent. That palm-sized “Starry Sky Stone” can’t even enter the Dai family’s treasury—”

That being said, Lou Gao himself knew that as the royal family of one of the two major empires in Douluo Continent, the Dai family's wealth was astronomical. The [Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect] was known to be as wealthy as a country. In real comparison, the Dai family of the [Star Luo Empire] and the Xue family of the [Tian Dou Empire] were the ones that were truly as wealthy as a country.

Therefore, ordinary treasures cannot enter the royal treasury, and once they are in, it would be extremely difficult to take them out.

Of course, here in Douluo Continent, with a bird martial spirit, it is not too difficult to fly, but there is still a threshold.

"Let's look back later~"

Although Ling Yi was very interested in the larger "Starry Sky Stone" in the Dai family's treasury, he would not take it too seriously. What kind of status does the other person have? What kind of status does he have? Even if he is from the [Blacksmith Association], he is not ranked in the [Star Luo Empire].

Unless the [Haotian Sect] asks for it, the [White Tiger Dai Family] will happily give the things over. Otherwise, even if the [Spirit Hall] wants it, they may not necessarily pay attention.

Sorry, I'm late. I won't say much. I'll have lunch and then continue writing.

Chapter 199 Space Riot

What is space?

If this question were put to Ling Yi's previous life, both the young lady who studied fine arts and the young lady who studied physics gave their own opinions.

The answer to the former is to create a three-dimensional visual effect on a two-dimensional plane through visual shapes, lines, colors, etc.

The latter will list a series of relative physical forms, and use the gaps between or surrounded by these physical forms as a kind of empty existence, the transition zone between objects, which, although without actual form, can bring a very strong visual impact.

Well, it's a bit complicated and brain-burning. In order to keep up with the young lady's thinking, Ling Yi took the time to search the Internet while going to the toilet. In a nutshell, space is a form of material existence relative to time, which is expressed as length, width, height...

But in Douluo Continent, space is a kind of elemental energy.

Emmm...

How should I put it? Compared with the definition of space in other online novels, the space in Douluo Continent is indeed a bit low.

But it has to be said that this very low-level spatial attribute is still quite friendly to a novice like Ling Yi who is just starting out.

If they really had to start with some high-sounding laws, rules, or the origin of the universe and so on, Ling Yi would be at a loss except for recalling a few settings in online novels that seemed very high-sounding.

In Casting Room No. 3, Ling Yi was engraving a space-expanding soul guide array pattern on a piece of spiritual metal while thinking about random things in his mind.

After recording the array pattern with ease, Ling Yi placed a fingernail-sized "Starry Sky Stone" into the groove he had left in advance. He touched his chin and said, "The question now is how to draw out the spatial energy in the stone."

Muttering softly, Ling Yi chose to try the simplest method first.

"Om-"

A dot of blue fluorescence bloomed on the tip of Ling Yi's right index finger.

Ling Yi placed his index finger on a node of the space expansion array pattern engraved on the spiritual metal, and injected his soul power at a subtle and slow low-frequency rhythm.

The blue soul power was like water, gradually filling every corner of the array. When the entire array was fully lit up, a hidden space fluctuation appeared.

'coming! ’

Ling Yi exerted all his mental strength and stared fiercely at the place where the spatial fluctuations gathered - the center of the groove where the "Star Stone" was located.

The next second, a dark black spot appeared, and its position just overlapped with the "Star Stone"!

"Good! First step, success! "

Although he was happy in his heart, Ling Yi calmed his mind, and the soul power input on his right index finger was not disordered at all.

Next is the critical moment. All the previous experiments failed at this step.

Due to the lack of sufficient spatial energy, the tiny subspace that was stretched out could not even last a third of a moment and was annihilated in an instant.

Now, I just don't know whether the spatial energy in this "Star Stone" can be attracted and captured by the tiny subspace that overlaps and is located in the main space.

Fortunately, the spatial energy in the "Star Stone" was indeed activated and absorbed by the subspace that was smaller than a sesame seed.

Visible to the naked eye, the tiny subspace is like a deflated balloon, which is gradually expanding as it is filled with air transformed from the spatial energy in the "Star Stone".

Sesame seeds, rice grains, mung beans, soybeans, broad beans...

Almost every breath, the subspace grew larger. After about twenty breaths, a subspace the size of a baby's head appeared inside the "Star Stone".

Don’t ask why a “starry sky stone” the size of a fingernail can accommodate a space as big as a baby’s head. The answer is the power of space!

"Crack——!"

A sound so subtle that it was imperceptible to human ears suddenly appeared inside the "Star Stone".

Fortunately, Ling Yi, whose mental power was overclocked, sensed the movement.

"grass--!!!"

Before Ling Yi could finish only a third of a word, he took out a piece of ultra-high-strength metal plate that was one meter long, one meter wide and fifty centimeters thick from the storage soul guide and placed it in front of him.

"..."

It was silent, with no explosions, no cutting or tearing sounds, and apart from the fact that the metal plate in his hand suddenly became much lighter, nothing seemed to have happened in the entire No. 3 casting room.

The warning sign that was beating wildly in his heart faded away, and Ling Yi turned the metal plate over. What he saw was a semicircular pit with a radius of more than 30 centimeters, which appeared on the metal plate so blatantly.

"What the hell..." Ling Yi couldn't help but blurt out a national quintessence from his previous life.

You know, given the strength and thickness of this metal plate, even with the sixth soul skill of the strong attack system, it can only be inserted one or two inches. But now it is like a piece of tender tofu, and more than half of it has been bitten off by an invisible big mouth.

And it seems that if the scope of the impact just now was not limited, it would not have only "gnawed" the metal hemisphere with a radius of more than 30 centimeters, but swallowed the entire metal plate.

"Fuck! Fuck! Fuck--!"

Three consecutive sounds showed the excitement of the person who spoke.

Don't get me wrong, these ungraceful words were not said by Ling Yi, but by someone standing more than ten meters away on the building.

At this time, Tie Futu, Yang Xueli and A Yin, who watched everything silently, although not as loud as Lou Gao, also looked frightened. They looked at the workbench with a big hole in front of Ling Yi and the large metal plate that had just been taken out with fear.

In terms of metal strength, the alloy used to make the workbench is not as good as the metal plate that Ling Yi uses for protection, but it is not weaker than ordinary fine iron that has been forged a hundred times. Not to mention that as a workbench specially used by master blacksmiths and divine craftsmen, its firmness, that is, the thickness of the table top, is more than ten centimeters!

At this time, the pure metal workbench was like a table specially used in hot pot restaurants. A circular hole appeared on the table. All that was missing was a double-sided pot rack and a charcoal stove underneath...

"Brother Yi!"

Yang Xueli was awakened by Lou Gao's words. She quickly crossed the distance of more than ten meters in two steps and came to Ling Yi. She grabbed Ling Yi's arm and looked him up and down. While looking at him, she asked, "How are you? Are you injured? Speak——"

"Alright, alright~" Ling Yi held Yang Xueli's shoulders with his backhand and said in a gentle voice: "Don't worry, I'm fine. Look, I'm fine--"

As he spoke, he opened his other arm and showed himself to Yang Xueli.

"Brother Yi~" Ah Yin also came to Ling Yi at this time. He first looked at the gap between the workbench and the metal plate with fear, and then said to Ling Yi: "No, don't study this thing. It's too dangerous! The storage soul guide is not too expensive for you. Even if you don't buy it, we can find some ancient ruins and dig out some..."

As she spoke, Ah Yin thought of the scene just now and was still a little frightened. The power of space cutting was so great that she was only a three-ringed soul master now. Even when she was a hundred thousand year soul beast "Blue Silver Emperor", she had encountered such an attack and had no good means of defense except to dodge.

Just when Tiefutu wanted to say something, Ling Yi touched his chin again and said thoughtfully:

"Before the space energy of the Star Stone was created, the annihilation of the subspace was silent. But with the space energy, it has such a strong destructive power..."

"Do you think it is possible to solidify this destructive force?

The "Fierce Fire Thunder" I developed earlier, in terms of destructive power, is only as strong as a hundred-year-level soul skill.

If this kind of spatial energy riot is used to make a similar weapon, can a Titled Douluo withstand it?"

Iron Pagoda, Building Gao: "..."

Yang Xueli and Ah Yin: "..."

Chapter 200 Blood Spirit Asks for Gold

October, year 2609 of the Douluo calendar.

That evening, Ling Yi was conducting the 286th theoretical verification of the storage soul guide.
