"The last two courtyards are where the laundry and warehouses are located. I discovered that in addition to the warehouses above ground, there was another warehouse underground, but it was locked and I couldn't get in."
"Dad, don't you have a key either?"
Ning Wenyi shook his head: "No."
"Let's go take a look."
Ning Yao and Ning Wenyi arrived at the warehouse.
The second-to-last courtyard was the warehouse, a huge granary and storeroom, but it was all empty and there was nothing to see.
The entrance to the underground warehouse that Ning Wenyi mentioned is inside the warehouse.
Warehouses are usually used to store valuable items, so the fact that the entrance to the underground warehouse is located here indicates that the items inside are also quite valuable.
However, this place should also be empty, with nothing inside.
"This is the place, it's locked."
Ning Yao stepped forward and saw that it was just an ordinary lock, so she took out a dagger.
The dagger came from the Mystic Artifact Pavilion in the Secret Realm; it could cut through iron like mud and severed the chains in just a few strokes.
After opening the door, the father and daughter entered the underground warehouse one after the other.
A cool breeze swept over her, and Ning Yao couldn't help but shiver.
It feels so familiar...
"What's wrong, Yao Yao?" Ning Wenyi noticed her unusual behavior.
Ning Yao shook her head: "It's nothing, just a little cold."
Ning Wenyi instructed, "Don't catch a cold, wear an extra layer of clothing later!"
"Yes, I understand, Dad."
Contrary to Ning Yao's expectations, the underground warehouse was not empty.
There were many boxes stacked in the corner, and the familiar feeling Ning Yao had just felt was coming from these boxes.
"Why are there so many boxes?" Ning Wenyi muttered to himself, then stepped forward.
"Yaoyao, this box isn't locked!"
Ning Yao nodded: "Open it and take a look!"
The father and daughter each opened a box, and the next second Ning Yao's pupils contracted sharply.
They're all spirit stones!
Fist-sized, and perfectly uniform!
While Ning Wenyi was still wondering, Ning Yao quickly opened several more boxes, and without exception, they were all filled with spirit stones!
Ning Yao's voice trembled as she said, "Father, open all the boxes!"
Ning Wenyi noticed her unusual behavior and was somewhat puzzled. After seeing Ning Yao's reaction, he swallowed his questions and went to open the box.
Something's wrong! This child is acting very strangely!
Could there be something fishy about this stone?
Soon all the boxes in the underground warehouse were opened, and they were all filled with spirit stones, thirty in each box, for a total of one hundred boxes.
"Honey, what's wrong? Is there something wrong with these stones?"
Ning Yao took a spirit stone and felt the spiritual energy flowing into the secret realm.
However, just when she thought these spirit stones were the same as those from Kunlun Ridge, the spirit stones in her hand changed.
It felt slightly warm to the touch, just like the spatial spirit stones that were originally in the secret realm.
Ning Yao's mind stirred slightly, and she immediately flashed into the secret realm.
The person in front of him suddenly disappeared, which startled Ning Wenyi.
The next second he realized where Ning Yao had gone, so he quickly ran to the door to close the door to the underground warehouse, then returned to his original spot and quietly stood guard.
Inside the secret realm, Ning Yao took the spirit stones that had been drained of their spiritual energy and entered the Spirit Weapon Pavilion to begin refining them.
She had a gut feeling that this spirit stone was not only different from the one in Kunlun Ridge, but also different from the one that originally existed in the secret realm.
Perhaps the storage space could be improved!
The refining process went even more smoothly than she had anticipated, and the result was even more unexpected.
The storage space previously provided to Ning Wenyi and others could only refine 60-70% of a single space spirit stone. This was not only due to her limited abilities, but also closely related to the quality of the spirit stone itself.
This time, the refining of the spirit stone not only fully developed its space, but also greatly shortened the refining time.
The only similarity is that this time the spirit stone space also needs to hold objects.
Ning Yao selected a bead and embedded the refined space into it, and the two merged perfectly.
Finally, Ning Yao tested it again and found that it could not only store items, but also contain living things. However, it was still not like the Thousand Illusions Secret Realm, where the space owner could freely enter and exit, nor could they bring people in.
Ultimately, it's still just a storage space.
Ning Yao boldly speculated: "If that's the case, does it mean that the higher the grade of the space spirit stone, the more advanced the storage space it can be refined into?"
"If the quality of the spatial spirit stone reaches the level of the Thousand Illusions Secret Realm, then can we refine another Thousand Illusions Secret Realm?"
No one answered her; it was merely her guess.
A gentle breeze swept through the secret realm, as if the realm had ceased to be still since we left Kunlun Mountain.
A gentle breeze occasionally caresses the face, the spring water sparkles, and the lotus flowers sway in the wind.
Even the light in the secret realm is no longer static, but has a more natural feel, as if it's shining through the clouds.
Just as Ning Yao was about to leave the secret realm, a leaf fell in front of her.
It's that sacred tree in the secret realm.
She reached out and caught the leaf, which immediately turned sky blue with specks of white.
Ning Yao held up the leaf, not knowing what it meant.
Soon the sky blue of the leaves was covered by dark clouds, with a few streaks of gold and silver spilling out.
This cycle repeats itself.
Ning Yao felt the face looked familiar, but couldn't quite place it, so she simply stopped thinking about it and left the space.
Ning Yao came out and left, then suddenly reappeared, startling Ning Wenyi twice.
Ning Wenyi looked pale and patted his chest.
"Dad, what's wrong?"
Ning Wenyi complained, "A sudden transformation, isn't that scary!"
Ning Yao gave an awkward smile: "I thought you knew about the secret realm and wouldn't be scared."
Ning Wenyi glared at him: "You must be used to going in and out every day. I've only been in once since the beginning, how could I be used to it?"
Ning Yao hugged his arm in a flattering manner: "Next time! Next time I have time, I will definitely take you to spend some time with me."
"You said it yourself!" Ning Wenyi said sternly.
"Alright, Dad, I'll give you a treasure."
Upon hearing that there was a treasure, Ning Wenyi was immediately drawn to it: "What is it?"
Ning Yao took out a bead, and Ning Wenyi asked, "What kind of treasure is this?"
"Storage space!"
Didn't you give me one?
"This is different; this is the upgraded version."
Ning Wenyi asked in confusion, "What is an upgraded version?"
Ning Yao paused for a moment, then said, "It's even more powerful than the previous one!"
"That's great! What's so special about it?"
"Give me the one from before."
Ning Wenyi took out the original one and handed it to Ning Yao, waiting for Ning Yao to upgrade his treasure.
Ning Yao took it and took out everything inside.
It all spilled onto the ground with a crash.
It's a mess, it has everything, and it's extremely chaotic.
The atmosphere in the warehouse instantly became a little awkward.
He opened the half-finished wine jar, wore unwashed socks, flipped through half a storybook, and secretly hid his private stash of money behind Madam Ning's back.
“Father, you…” Ning Yao hesitated, unable to finish her sentence.
Ning Wenyi's face flushed red and then turned pale; it was so embarrassing!
"You brat! Why didn't you tell me beforehand!"
Ning Yao was speechless: "I thought you would have settled everything by the time we arrived in Licheng, but who would have thought you..."
