Rise of The Demon General
14 Chapter 14. Black Space Ring and Black Aetherium Stone
Once Amon made sure by using his acute sight and hearing that Hei Gong was no longer breathing, he approached. He came to Hei Pho first, then unceremoniously removed the ring on her finger. It was her space ring.
Hei Pho herself had explained to him that a cultivator's personal space ring was tied to the person. If the cultivator was still alive, it would be difficult for others to look into or take something from within the ring, unless of course if the one doing it had much higher cultivation than the ring's owner.
But if the owner had died, the link would be gone and the seal removed. Hence, allowing another cultivator to access its content and establish his own link on the ownerless ring. This was what Amon was doing at the moment.
He sent his consciousness into the space ring. He found himself in a space the size of a room, a slightly smaller one than his bedroom, which was a very large storage space if according to him. If he had this kind of mobile warehouse function in his past life, it would be a very convenient tool. But such a thing was still only a dream in his past world.
Inside this space, he saw several of Hei Pho's private things. He sorted out the useless ones and threw them out of the space, leaving only the ones that he could use. There were many exotic plants and ingredients inside here, with more notes on poison. From the looks of the things inside this ring, Hei Pho's knowledge was more inclined toward poisoning than medicine.
There was even a tome titled 101 primal poison. Amon took a look at this tome and was surprised to find that he could not understand most of its content. He could only read through the first few pages, but even those he could not understand. While the later pages he couldn't make heads or tails of them, even the wordings seemed to elude him, as if the tome itself was refusing to show him its secrets.
This must be one of the legacies from when the Hei clan was at its peak. He doubted even Hei Pho understood everything within this tome. If her expertise had reached the level where she could understand even a quarter of this tome, he doubted that his poisoning during the dinner just now would have gone unnoticed. In fact, he had separated the poisoning components into two parts, one in the meal and one in the wine. Only by consuming both that the poison would take effect. Otherwise, he was afraid that Hei Pho would have found out about the poison before it was consumed. For himself, he didn't drink any wine as he was still a kid, that's why he was not affected by the poison.
There were also a few Aer stones. He counted them, there were 34 Aer stones. He did not know if this was a large sum or a small sum since he had not made any transaction in the outside world. But considering the poor status of the Hei clan, he would say that it was more likely the latter.
After sorting out Hei Pho's possession, he went to Hei Gong's body. He also wore a similar ring on his left hand's finger. Although Hei Gong appeared lifeless already, Amon didn't take any chances. His skin was bronze color as he activated Hardened Bronze Body upon approaching the corpse. His Swan dagger was also in a ready position in his hand.
With the other hand, he removed the ring from Hei Gong's finger. All the while being ready for a sudden movement, but Hei Gong remained still.
After getting the ring, he backstepped some distance away before turning his attention to the ring. It looked just the same as Hei Pho's ring.
When he dived into the ring's space. He saw the internal space to be larger than Hei Pho's one, by around twice. There was also much more stuff inside Hei Gong's ring. Belongings from the head of the clan were indeed different.
As he sorted through everything, throwing the unessential things away, he found several art books. He collected all those books first on one side as he organized the other things. There were also several weapons, which he also gathered to one side for review later.
Amongst Hei Gong's clothes, there was one that felt different. It was infused with aether, such an item was called engraved items, the same as his Swan dagger. They had better durability and sometimes possessed extra effects outside of their basic function.
This engraved suit he had found looked like it was made of interlocking tiny chains, like very thin chainmail, and very light. But the size was too big for his kid's body. Still, out of curiosity, he slipped the oversized suit onto his body. As he was admiring its fine and yet sturdy material, the suit suddenly tightened around his body. He was alarmed by it, afraid that he had triggered some defensive mechanism amongst Hei Gong's possession, but even after the suit stopped shrinking, he didn't feel any discomfort. He looked at himself, the suit had magically adjusted itself to his size.
After some thought, he decided to test the suit's defense by stabbing himself in the abdomen, where it was covered by the chainmail suit. The swan dagger produced a clang as if it had hit a solid metal. Amon was surprised, he did not even feel the impact. He made a stronger self-stab. It still didn't go through. In fact, there was not even a scratch on the chainmail suit.
I have found myself a good thing here, Amon thought. When he took off the chainmail suit, it reverted to its original size. Such a convenient function, there was no need for a tailor if such a feature could be incorporated into every clothes.
He took off his clothes before wearing the chainmail suit again. It adjusted nicely with his nude upper body. Amon then put his original clothes back on, covering the chainmail protection underneath.
He continued to sort through Hei Gong's stuff. A small thing caught his attention, he took a closer look and saw it to be a ring, one that was completely black. He took it up and observed it. This was not a normal decorative ring, this was also a space ring, Amon thought after his observation. He could feel another space inside this ring. Why did Hei Gong keep two space rings?
Curious, he sent his consciousness into this black space ring. When he arrived in the space inside, he was shocked to find that he could see into the far distance in all directions. Amazed by this discovery, he sent his consciousness to gauge the entire space. It took him some time due to his low cultivation, but after taking the measurement, he estimated that the size of this space was around the size of a small town.
He could not cover his astonishment. With this black ring, he could carry goods the size of a town everywhere he went? This was more than a dream in his past world. The tactical application of such a tool was limitless. He went back out and stared at the black space ring in his hand.
Odd, Amon thought. Why is this black space ring empty? Why did Hei Gong not use this black space ring instead? It was clearly much superior to the one Hei Gong was wearing. Was it because he didn't want to attract attention? This black ring was surely an uncommon treasure. It should be another of this clan's legacy. Perhaps he was afraid others would have bad intentions if they saw it. Amon kept the black ring aside first as he continued to organize the goods
He also found another tome. In this one, it was titled Demon Body creation method. This must have been the forbidden art that had been used to create his body. Accompanying this tome was two small pebbles. They glowed an eery black light. Amon assumed this must be the two remaining demon seeds.
After he was done cataloging, throwing aside all the unessential stuff, he had seven martial art books, three arcane art books, three cultivation art books, six engraved swords, three engraved axes, four engraved spears, one engraved shield, seventeen engraved throwing knives, several metallic materials which appeared to be valuable, 72 Aer stones, demon body tome, two demon seeds, and the last one which he found to be most extraordinary aside from the black space ring, was a black Aetherium stone.
An Aetherium stone, as he read in books, was a special cultivation tool that could expedite cultivation speed. If the Aer stone was the byproducts of failed natural Aether crystallization, an Aehterium stone was the actual successful natural aether crystallization. Unlike a cultivation pill which was one-time use. An Aetherium stone could be used indefinitely. They served as a natural catalyst that pulled and enhanced the surrounding aether, allowing much ease for the cultivator to absorb the aether using their cultivation art.
