From the Heavens Descended an Immortal Sister

"Is that! A Space Ring!?"

Seeing Fang Ren take out more items from the ring, Long Ming was completely shocked, and his excitement made him involuntarily shout out right at the doorway.

Seeing this, Fang Ren quickly pulled him into the room and closed the door, then said with an embarrassed expression, "Elder Long, although there are some truths you may not be able to accept right now, I still need to be honest with you."

The identity of Master Qingan could only be concealed for at most another three days before he would have to reveal it himself; it was bound to come out sooner or later, so telling Long Ming today didn't matter.

"Master Qingan...?"

Long Ming looked blankly at the youth standing before him, and his aged face quickly filled with complicated expressions. This situation had far exceeded his expectations, and just as Fang Ren had said, his old heart truly couldn't take it all at once.

If all of this was true, then when he regularly asked Master Qingan questions on the Alchemist Forum, was he actually asking Fang Ren all along?

"Elder Long, just call me by my name," Fang Ren said with a smile. "That's just a nickname on the internet."

Gulp!

Upon hearing this, Long Ming swallowed hard. Fang Ren admitted it to him so directly, without any beating around the bush, that he was utterly dumbfounded.

"Young Master Fang, you really are... Master Qingan?" Long Ming asked in a daze.

Fang Ren smiled and pointed to the Space Ring on his hand, "Do I have any reason to lie to Elder Long?"

Long Ming took a deep breath, blinked his aged eyes, and said, "This is indeed beyond my expectations, I... I really didn't see this coming."

After calming down, he realized that he should have known all along—who in the world, besides Master Qingan, could casually produce an Upper Level Pill in fourteen minutes?

Fang Ren didn't say much, and took out a Space Ring from his Silver Box, saying, "Elder Long, you live in Zone One, a far distance from Tianjiang. It must have been a hard journey coming all this way. Please accept this ring on behalf of a younger generation as payment for the medicinal herbs."

Long Ming looked at the ring in Fang Ren's hand, immediately waved his hands and said, "Oh no no, how can I accept such a valuable thing, and besides, from Young Master Fang's usage, this should be the Space Ring that all the craftsmen in the whole world have been longing to make, right?"

Fang Ren nodded, "Indeed, this is a Space Ring. This one has been modified by me recently, it has over 20 cubic meters of storage space, very convenient for storing items."

"Over 20 cubic meters... and this thing is made by you!" Long Ming was blown away. Over 20 square meters was enough to hold a lot of things—a small armory, a couple racks of herbs... There was so much it could hold.

What surprised him even more was that Fang Ren made it himself. Upon seeing the Space Ring, Long Ming had wondered if he had recently become too engrossed in Alchemy and missed some news about the advent of the Space Ring.

He never imagined that this pursuit, which should have been the lifelong dream of craftsmen, was achieved by a 22-year-old Alchemy genius.

"Elder, don't be too shocked; this thing is just in the testing phase. I can't guarantee it is completely free of problems, so if you have any particularly valuable items, it would be better not to store them inside," Fang Ren cautioned.

Naturally, he couldn't tell Long Ming that this was a finished product, because someone like Long Ming would inevitably think along the same lines as Mu Huanqing, urging him to announce his invention at once for the benefit of human society.

"Just a testing phase and it's this amazing... If it's a finished product, wouldn't it have hundreds of cubic spaces? Then even a house could fit inside!" Long Ming exclaimed.

"That might not even be successful," said Fang Ren with resignation. "I've already had one ring break down before, destroying everything stored inside. So Elder Long, if you have important items, it would be better not to store them in there."

"No wonder you haven't made it public; that makes sense," Long Ming, clutching the Space Ring in his hand and with a look of attachment, continued, "To be one of the first to possess a Space Ring, I've really basked in Master Qingan's glory."

On his way here, he had doubted whether the agreement he made with the other Alchemists tonight was too impulsive and whether he would face some punishment for his impulsiveness... But now it seemed all his worries were for nothing.

What punishment for impulsiveness? What's not worth it?

This is simply one of the greatest fortunes in the world!

Not only had he met the real Master Qingan on this trip, but Fang Ren had also been forthright with him, and it looked like they would continue to have dealings in the future. He was thrilled.

"Alright, Elder Long, now you just need to drop a drop of blood on this ring, and then it will belong to you."

"I understand, I understand!"

Although Long Ming was old, in his youth he had read his share of Immortal novels, so the concept of blood recognition was an easy operation for him.

He didn't wait for Fang Ren to assist him, instead directly biting his fingertip and letting the blood fall onto the Space Ring that Fang Ren had just given him. The ring emitted a dazzling light as the blood moistened it, and Long Ming was utterly in awe.

"So this is what it feels like to open a space..."

Long Ming, feeling the space around his body, fell into a profound silence.

"Elder Long, how do you feel?" Fang Ren asked.

Long Ming immediately came back to his senses, his aged face taking on a very serious expression, and the next moment, he bowed deeply with his hands in a fist, "Who cares about Elder! You are my Elder indeed!"

"Hey! Elder, don't be like this, I really don't deserve this."

"No! You deserve it!"

…

Then Long Ming delivered a ten-minute-long lecture on the Space Ring, leaving Fang Ren utterly confused. Long Ming's ramblings went from thieves to emergency medical supply transport on the battlefield...

In short, no matter where his talk wandered, he always came back to the Space Ring.

Fang Ren was simply impressed and let Long Ming stay for a while before sending the old man away, because after learning his identity, Long Ming was practically desperate to take him as a Master... terrifying.
