CHAPTER 282 - THE REPAIRED RING

"What’s changed with the ring? Hmm... Seems like it is the stuff he did to it before we arrived." Lin Mu muttered to himself.

"Yes, that is exactly it. Fixing a spatial treasure like this is quite difficult if not impossible for most spirit tool refiners. To be honest, I was not fully sure whether he would be able to do it or not. Even if he was able to fix just a little bit, I would have been impressed. But he exceeded my expectations and has nearly completely fixed it.

Of course, its capacity would definitely not be as much as it should originally have been." Xukong explained.

Lin Mu silently nodded in response as he then watched Jing Wei continue fixing the ring. A lot of things were happening all at once right now, and it would seem overwhelming to most people.

The flaming anvil came to a stop in front of Jing Wei, and on top of it, he placed the ring. Then he controlled the green gold marble to float over the ring and let it fall on to it.

~DENG~

As soon as the marble touched, the ring thought it made a loud sound. Although the marble was rather small in size, its weight certainly was not. There were at least a few tons of gold refined to make that marble and Even if most of it was lost in refinement, the small amount was still quite dense.

The green gold marble struck the ring, which then struck the flaming anvil which was made from Void star metal. The three objects hummed in response and a faint cracking sound was heard.

~Crack~

~Crack~

~Crack~

Lin Mu could see faint cracks forming on the ring now.

"What is he doing! Won’t that destroy the ring?" Lin Mu uttered with shock.

"That is exactly what he’s doing. He’s found a method to repair the ring without the materials which would have usually been needed. He’s making do with what he has right now.

Just watch and you will understand." Xukong spoke.

Lin Mu focused his attention onto the anvil and saw the fine cracks in the ring releasing something from them. He couldn’t identify what it was at first, but soon sensed it. It seemed to like spirit qi but of a higher quality, although it also felt impure to him.

The energy seemed like a corrupted form of a higher versions of spirit qi.

’Wait, could it be...? Immortal qi?’ Lin Mu guessed.

Lin Mu had already known that in order to break through to the higher realm after the Immortal Ascension realm, a cultivator had to refine the spirit qi into immortal qi. Thus Lin Mu guessed that it was that very immortal qi that was released from the ring.

"But if it’s immortal qi then why does it seem corrupted and impure?" Lin Mu muttered in confusion.

"Your guess is half correct." Xukong suddenly spoke.

"Oh, what do you mean Senior?" Lin Mu questioned while Jing Wei controlling the flames to revolve around the anvil and the ring.

"While that is indeed a higher quality qi than spirit qi, it is not immortal qi. Rather, this is the impure spatial energy. The one that you’ve seen in the ring is perhaps the purest form you can find anywhere in this cosmos. The most common type you will find is the impure spatial energy like this." Xukong answered.

Lin Mu did not respond to this, as his attention was captured by the next step that Jing Wei was talking.

He had now heated the green gold marble enough that it has started melting again. The glittering drops of the green gold dripped onto the ring and started coating it. Soon the ring was hidden under the green gold drops and Jing Wei took out a hammer.

The hammer was octagonal in shape and seemed to have some characters engraved on its sides. Jing Wei grabbed it with his right hand and firmly grasped it. The grip of Jing Wei was so hard that his muscles tensed up ripping his sleeves apart exposing his bare arm which was now filled with tight muscles.

Lin Mu could sense that although the muscles were not gained from body tempering realm cultivation, the strength within them was no less. Jing Wei raised the hammer high and slammed it onto the ring, which had been coated with the green gold.

~Deng~

The sound of metal hitting metal echoed in a room for a moment before Lin Mu suddenly felt spatial fluctuations.

The anvil that was made up of Void star metal had now cracked as well, along with leaking something from it. But unlike the ring, this energy was slate grey in color and was entering the places that had the cracks on the ring.

While the energy entered the ring, it also took the green fold drops that were coating the ring with it. The amount of liquid green gold that was covering the ring started to reduce and soon disappeared completely having been absorbed by the ring.

Still, Jing Wei did not stop there and raised his hammer again before slamming it back down. The blow this time was softer than before, but it was still enough to completely destroy the anvil that been made by the void star metal.

The chunks of void star metal fell to the ground and turned to ashes because of the heat." The ring was now floating in Jing Wei’s hand as he took fatigued breaths.

~Phew~

Jing Wei let out a breath of relief as he saw the newly repaired ring floating in front of him. The ring didn’t have any more cracks and seemed to have been fully fixed. But along with this, he could see the difference in the look of the ring.

The cracks that were once preset on the ring had been filled by the green gold and the spatial fluctuations could also be felt coming from it.

"Success!" Jing Wei yelled as he saw the precious artifact.
