After stepping off the Moon Chasing Warship, Wang Ruoxie, Xueyao, and Ling Yu entered the Royal City of the Fire Cloud Kingdom.
"The Fire Cloud Kingdom truly deserves its place as one of the top three kingdoms in the Eastern Domain. The Royal City is far more prosperous than that of the East Victory Kingdom."
Xueyao glanced around and exclaimed in admiration.
"Indeed, among the Sixteen Eastern Domain Kingdoms, the East Victory Kingdom is considered a weaker kingdom, while the Fire Cloud Kingdom ranks in the top three. Both its foundation and number of powerful cultivators far surpass those of the East Victory Kingdom."
Wang Ruoxie nodded slightly and said.
Even from the surrounding passersby, it was evident that the overall strength of martial cultivators in the Fire Cloud Kingdom was far superior to that of the East Victory Kingdom.
The bustling crowd was teeming with martial cultivators at the Element Transformation Realm, many of whom were even at the late stage of that realm. Some even exuded the aura of a Half-Step Innate Realm.
Even an Innate Realm cultivator could occasionally be spotted among a hundred people, and sometimes one could see those at the late stage of the Innate Realm.
Moreover, the spacious streets were filled with endless streams of pedestrians, and from the shops lining the roads, constant selling and bargaining could be heard, creating an exceptionally vibrant and lively atmosphere.
"It's just the Royal City of a mere kingdom. No matter how prosperous, how far could it possibly go?"
Ling Yu sneered in disdain.
Then he looked at Xueyao and said, "Xueyao, after the Eastern Domain Trial Conference ends, you can come with me to the Great Yu Imperial Dynasty. Then I'll show you the Imperial City of my Great Yu Imperial Dynasty."
"We'll see then."
Xueyao replied casually. She indeed had this plan, after all, the Great Yu Imperial Dynasty is the only imperial dynasty in the Five Domains of Yun Province, a place teeming with powerful cultivators and more opportunities, making it the best place to travel.
However, after spending these days together, she had lost any goodwill towards the arrogant and conceited Ling Yu, and if not for his life-saving grace, she wouldn't even want to continue traveling with him.
"Have you heard? The Myriad Treasures Pavilion is hosting a grand auction tomorrow."
"Naturally, I heard. It's said that there will be not only a large number of treasure resources at auction but also genuine storage treasures."
"The Myriad Treasures Pavilion is truly generous, even auctioning storage treasures."
...
Hearing the conversations of the surrounding people, both Xueyao and Ling Yu's eyes lit up slightly.
However, Wang Ruoxie's expression remained unchanged, not because he didn't understand what storage treasures meant, but because, for him right now, he could very well refine one himself if he truly desired it.
After breaking through to the Innate Realm, he could refine Earth Artifacts and Fourth Grade Pills, and an ordinary storage treasure was akin to an Earth Artifact.
Moreover, the storage treasures he refined, even the smallest storage ring, had not only storage space but defensive capabilities.
"Junior Brother Ruoxie, it seems our luck is quite good. We've just arrived in the Fire Cloud Kingdom and come across an auction, and they even have storage treasures for auction."
Xueyao said to Wang Ruoxie with subtle joy in her eyes.
"Does Senior Sister Xueyao want a storage treasure?"
Wang Ruoxie chuckled upon hearing her words and asked.
"Of course, I want one. A genuine storage treasure, not only does its storage space far exceed that of a storage pouch, but it is much safer. Unfortunately, even in the entire Eastern Domain, no artifact master can create a storage treasure."
Xueyao nodded and continued, "Therefore, storage treasures are rare and extremely valuable, far beyond the value of an average Earth Artifact."
"Xueyao, if you want it, I'll buy it for you once the auction starts."
Ling Yu said to Xueyao. Though the storage treasure tempted him, he was willing to forgo it if it meant winning her heart.
"No need, I'll buy it myself."
Xueyao shook her head in response.
Hearing Xueyao's words, Ling Yu frowned slightly but said nothing further, just resolved inwardly to acquire the storage treasure the next day.
He just didn't believe she would truly refuse it.
"It seems it's time for me to refine some storage treasures."
Wang Ruoxie mused silently. Earlier in the True Inheritance Pavilion of the Celestial Sword Sect, he exchanged his sect points for refining materials worth over ten million, which happened to include a Void Nether Stone. If all went well, he could at least refine five storage treasures.
At that time, he would keep one for himself, give one to Xueyao, and the remaining three could be auctioned at the Myriad Treasures Pavilion.
As for Ling Yu, forget about gifting; even if he wanted to buy one, Wang Ruoxie would refuse without hesitation.
Although he deemed Ling Yu's persistent opposition and sarcastic remarks unworthy of concern, it did not mean he would entirely disregard them. He wouldn't shy away from reciprocating if given the chance.
Afterwards, the three of them found an inn to stay in.
Upon entering his room, Wang Ruoxie immediately took out a tripod furnace from his storage pouch, along with materials for refining storage treasures, including the Void Nether Stone.
The tripod furnace was an upper-grade Spiritual Artifact, not only better assisting in the refining process but also enhancing the success rate to some extent.
Of course, with his Artifact Refining Technique and the help of Primordial Fire, his success rate was far above that of ordinary artifact masters, even if it wasn't one hundred percent.
Without delay, Wang Ruoxie began refining.
The difficulty of refining storage treasures far surpassed that of typical artifacts, not only because the materials were hard to come by but because engraving spatial runes made success more elusive.
However, with Wang Ruoxie's current cultivation at the seventh layer of the Innate Realm and soul power far surpassing peers, he successfully refined the first storage treasure, a storage ring, after only one failure.
This storage ring had a storage space of a hundred cubic meters, far exceeding the storage pouch he carried.
Additionally, he used soul power to set a restriction within the storage ring, granting it a recognition feature, making it impossible for others to access the storage space without soul power surpassing his own, even if they acquired the ring.
Subsequently, Wang Ruoxie successfully refined three more storage rings and one storage bracelet.
All five storage treasures had a storage space of a hundred cubic meters and the recognition feature.
Most importantly, he inscribed nine defense runes within these five storage treasures, forming a small defensive array that endowed them with formidable defensive power.
When the defensive array was activated, it could withstand all attacks, fending off up to nine strikes, with the strongest capable of resisting a full-force blow from a Half-Step Meridian Passage Realm cultivator.
This meant that wearing one of these five storage treasures granted nine chances to survive, as long as one didn't encounter a Meridian Passage Realm martial cultivator.
"The storage bracelet will be given to Senior Sister Xueyao, and the three storage rings will be put up for auction at the Myriad Treasures Pavilion. I presume the final price will not disappoint me."
With a faint smile in his eyes, Wang Ruoxie then donned one of the storage rings himself, moving all his belongings from his storage pouch into it, along with the four remaining storage treasures.
Afterward, he left the inn, heading in the direction of the Myriad Treasures Pavilion.
