405: Chapter 399 Space Characteristic 405: Chapter 399 Space Characteristic In the Northern Darkness, there is a fish called Kun, whose size is so large that it measures thousands of miles…
Chen Hai naturally knew about Zhuang Zhou’s “Enjoyment in Untroubled Ease.”
After all, he who always felt he was on the path of Tao Cultivation would naturally have a measure of admiration for a renowned predecessor like Zhuang Zhou.
The stuff in textbooks often lulled him into a drowsy slumber as he read.
However, when it came to books related to Tao Cultivation, even if he couldn’t understand what the sentences truly meant, he could still read with great energy and enthusiasm.
To hear Hongming tell it, this piece of unknown animal hide he had could have such an origin.
Even Chen Hai couldn’t help but gasp in astonishment, violently shaken by the revelation.
“Since it’s the descendant of Kun Roc, a Giant Kun like this should be quite powerful.
How could their species have perished just like that?”
Feeling somewhat puzzled by this, Chen Hai thought for a moment before opening his mouth to ask.
Having feasted, Hongming, who had just devoured twelve pigs in one go, seemed to be in a good mood.
Facing the question posed by Chen Hai, it gave an answer without delay.
“The skin of the Giant Kun is a spiritual material, containing the Space Characteristic.”
“Among all spiritual materials, the characteristics of time and space are the rarest and most unique.”
“The Kun Roc, the legendary ancestor of the Giant Kun clan, was indeed powerful with vast divine skills, but by the time I was born, the Kun Roc had long vanished without trace.”
“An adult Giant Kun is strong, but in the eyes of the truly powerful individuals, they are merely as such.”
“With no ancestors to protect them, their very skins were enough to make many cultivators greedy and attack them.”
“Moreover, the reproduction of the Giant Kun is extremely difficult; at their peak, there were only dozens to a hundred of them.”
“When countless cultivators covet their hides and aim to hunt them down, it would be extraordinary if their species were not driven to extinction.”
With a tinge of disdain, Hongming explained.
The era of its birth was already extremely ancient, and the universe it inhabited back then was completely different from the present.
Even it couldn’t understand, after awakening from its slumber in the sealed tomb, why the world it found itself in had turned out like this!
Thinking back on the events of those years, Hongming felt a mixture of emotions, a sense of inexplicable melancholy emerging in the depths of its heart.
“Spiritual material?
What’s the use?”
“According to you, Hongming, since this piece of hide I have comes from the Giant Kun, it should undoubtedly be considered a spiritual material.”
“By holding onto this thing, could I possibly even comprehend some Divine Secret Skill from it?”
Hongming’s words brightened Chen Hai’s eyes as he tentatively spoke, seeking confirmation.
The two Rat Demons lurking in Conggui Mountain might very well have started on the path of cultivation because of this piece of Giant Kun hide.
Since they could discern something from the Giant Kun’s hide, Chen Hai felt he should be able to do the same.
After all, he never believed that he was less perceptive than two rats.
“Spiritual materials, since they possess spirituality, using them as a focus for visualization during cultivation is indeed feasible.”
“However, this small piece of hide is, relatively speaking, incomplete compared to the whole Giant Kun, and saying it is but a hair of nine oxen may not even qualify.”
“Even with the help of this item to step onto the path of cultivation, there would be no real prospects whatsoever.”
“The greatest use of spiritual materials is most certainly in the realm of Artifact Refining.”
“A tool imbued with the skin of the Giant Kun could also gain some of the Space Characteristic.”
“The legendary Storage Bag is generally made from the skin of a Giant Kun as the main material and refined in the end…”
Hongming really knew quite a lot.
Its words not only answered the questions Chen Hai had raised,
but also roughly shared the basic functions of the Giant Kun’s skin known to it with Chen Hai.
“This piece of Giant Kun’s skin, can be used to refine a Storage Bag…”
Chen Hai couldn’t keep his composure and exclaimed out loud.
For a while, he had specifically studied some of the mythological tales passed down in Yanhuang Country.
The Storage Bag was mentioned in many mythological stories.
While Chen Hai envied such fantastically magical objects, he always thought they were simply made up by the ancients.
In the real world, how could such an unscientific thing as a Storage Bag truly exist?
But now, upon hearing what Hongming had said and realizing the Storage Bag wasn’t too far from his reach, maintaining his composure was completely out of the question!
“Kid, the piece of hide you have is indeed skin from the Giant Kun, no doubt.”
“But time erodes all things.
After a long period of wear and tear, the spirituality in this piece of Giant Kun’s skin has mostly dissipated.”
“With such a piece of spiritual material, even if you successfully refine it into a Storage Bag, the space inside will definitely be pitifully small.”
“Don’t even think about doing something like using a Storage Bag to take away a small mountain, don’t get your hopes up.”
Without mincing words, Hongming threw a bucket of cold water on Chen Hai.
Perhaps before it was sealed away, it had seen many powerful figures use Storage Bags.
As soon as it spoke, it was discouraging Chen Hai from fantasizing about refining a Storage Bag capable of taking away a small mountain.
The intention behind its words was to strike a blow to Chen Hai’s hopes, but unfortunately, its way of thinking was not at all aligned with Chen Hai’s.
Upon hearing Hongming’s words, not only did Chen Hai not show the slightest sign of disappointment, but he also became even more excited about the prospect of refining a Storage Bag.
“Hongming Brother, if you know how to refine a Storage Bag, could you tell me?”
“Please, consider this as me begging you!”
“As long as you’re willing to help me out, then it’s no big deal—after this, I’ll make another trip to Yuxing Pig Farm and buy a few more pigs to offer you as Blood Food!”
Not caring about pride or posturing, Chen Hai’s face was all smiles as he humbly beseeched Hongming—for the first time ever.
Compared to a Storage Bag, what’s face worth?
Absolutely nothing!
If he could obtain the refining method for a Storage Bag from Hongming, Chen Hai was prepared to completely forsake face.
“I’ve seen others refine Storage Bags and I know some of the general refining methods.”
“You think you can learn this Dharma Method from me for just a few pigs?
You’re dreaming—it’s a pure insult to me!”
“In Yuxing Pig Farm, there are still over a hundred large, fat pigs; if you buy them all to offer as Blood Food to me, perhaps I will consider passing on the Refining Dharma Method of the Storage Bag to you!”
Filled with disdain, Hongming replied, clearly dissatisfied.
Hearing this, not only did Chen Hai’s smiling face not show any sign of disappointment, but his smile grew even more intense.
“I’ll buy all those large, fat pigs, no problem!”
“A man’s word is his bond; once something is said, it must not be recanted.”
“Since I’ve already promised you about buying the pigs, now you should tell me the refining method for the Storage Bag, shouldn’t you?”
His face aglow with a warm and gentle smile, Chen Hai immediately gave his response.
