Chapter 453: Spatial Storage Treasures
Lin Mu was a bit surprised by the speed at which Refiner Ru had modified the belt. He had expected it to take a bit longer, but it obviously was not.
Lin Mu took the belt from him and checked it with his spirit sense. The belt was a low grade spatial storage treasure and did not have much space in it. There were roughly two cubic meters of space in the ring.
‘Hmm… this should be enough for Little Shrubby to use. Even if I would prefer a higher grade spatial storage treasure, I doubt there is any here… at least the ones that will be affordable.’ Lin Mu thought.
“Speaking of spatial storage treasure, are there any shops selling Mid grade spatial storage treasures or higher in the city?” Lin Mu questioned.
“Mid grade spatial storage treasures? Hmm… there are a few shops that can get you one if you place an order but I highly doubt anyone will have them in stock, they are just far too difficult to get, not to mention highly expensive.” Refiner Ru replied.
“How much do they go for currently?” Lin Mu asked curiously.
“Even the low grade spatial storage treasures cost anywhere from two thousand low grade spirit stones to ten thousand spirit stones. The mid grade ones can’t even be bought with low grade spirit stones and need mid grade ones.
Even if you have the equivalent amount of the mid grade spirit stones in low grade ones, I doubt anyone will be willing to sell them. As for the high grade spatial storage treasures, you simply can’t buy them.
The sect’s have a monopoly on them because all the refiners that are able to make them are part of the sects. If you want to buy one, you will either need to be part of sect, barter them with a resource that is of the same or higher value or… find one with luck.” Refiner Ru answered.
“Ah… I see. What about the peak grade ones? Have you ever seen one?” Lin Wu questioned again.
“In the two hundred years that I’ve lived, I have never heard of a peak grade spatial storage treasure being sold. But back when I was still learning from my master, he told me that his master once witnessed a peak grade spatial storage treasure being sold.
It was sold from a sect to the Emperor of the Great Zhou Empire. Nobody knows the cost though, so we can only guess. But there is no way it would have been cheap.” Refiner Ru answered.
It was now that Lin Wu realized he didn’t know what was the capacity of the spatial storage treasures. The belt had a capacity of two cubic meters while the ring that was repaired by Jing Wei had a capacity of about a thousand cubic meters. He knew that the ring was not comparable to spirit tools and was way beyond that, but due to being damaged, it was barely at five percent of its full potential.
“And what was the capacity of the peak grade spatial storage treasure?” Lin Mu asked.
It looked like even the old refiner was having a good time talking with Lin Mu, since he was taking an interest in the field he specialized in. He was an old man and was mostly busy in either refinement or cultivation, thus he did not get to talk with young people like Lin Mu who was also talented.
Lin Mu’s cultivation was another reason why he was willing to answer so many questions of his. Besides, Lin Mu was buying a lot of things that were worth quite a large amount, thus he did not mind answering some simple questions.
“I don’t exactly know, but the rumors are that it had about a thousand cubic meters of space. Seeing as low grade ones are anywhere from one to five cubic meters in size, mid grade ones ten to fifty cubic meters and the high grade ones hundred to three hundred cubic meters; it does seem close to it.” Refiner Ru answered after thinking for a bit.
“I see… that’s interesting.” Lin Mu replied, feeling amazed at the ring that old man Jing fixed.
“I should head out now, I have a few more things to do. How much do I need to pay right now?” Lin Mu asked.
“The mid grade communication jade slip is 150 low grade spirit stones, the spatial storage belt is 2200 low grade spirit stones, the harness will be 70 low grade spirit stones and finally the prosthetic arm will be about 1250 low grade spirit stones. So the total comes down to about 3670 low grade spirit stones.” Refiner Ru calculated.
“That is acceptable.” Lin Mu said before taking out a pouch from his ring.
Since he could directly move items in his ring without needing to physically touch them, he moved the spirit stones to one of the many pouches he had bought back in Wu Lim city. All the miscellaneous items that he had bought were now coming in handy.
~thud~
The pouch made a low thud as it was placed on the table and the shopkeeper took it to check it.
“It’s all there. Thank you for your patronage, sir Wu.” The shopkeeper said with cupped hands.
“I’ll contact you on your communication jade slip when the harness is ready. You can take the rest of the items.” Refiner Ru said.
“That’ll be good. I’ll take my leave now.” Lin Mu said before storing the new jade slip and the prosthetic hand into his ring.
He did not do the same for the belt as that would be a clear violation of the common understanding that spatial storage treasure could not be stored in other spatial storage treasures. Lin Mu tied the belt around his waist and left the shop. He casually found an empty area near the mercenary union and stored the belt in his ring there, before heading into the building.
“Ah, senior you’re back!” The male clerk said.
