The Wizard's Journey Begins in a Courtyard House

Chapter 10 First Attempt at Alchemy: The Storage Ring

Under the yellow flames, the black iron ring began to melt rapidly, eventually turning into a ball of molten iron that floated in the air.

Seeing this, Li Qin did not extinguish the flames, but continued to refine the molten iron.

Soon, the impurities in the molten iron began to burn off completely, and at the same time, the volume of the molten iron shrank by one-fifth.

The colors also became deeper.

Upon seeing this, Li Qin immediately extinguished the flames in the air.

He then began to use magic to control and shape the molten iron in the air.

Finally, the molten iron transformed back into a black ring.

Next, Li Qin used the water he summoned to cool the shaped ring.

At this point, Li Qin had completed the creation of the ring, a process that took only a few minutes.

This is the power of magic.

Li Qin took the ring in his hand and examined it carefully.

He discovered that both its shape and color were extremely similar to the one he had just seen.

However, the previous ring was solid, but this ring is hollow.

"Very good, now that the carrier is complete, the next step is the most crucial one: to use the Seamless Stretch Spell on the space inside the ring."

Finally, the corresponding alchemical runes are engraved on the ring to ensure the spell's effectiveness remains constant.

Li Qin's originally calm expression turned serious.

This was, after all, his first time crafting a refining item by hand, so he naturally took it very seriously.

"Space expands!"

As Li Qin released the Seamless Stretch Spell onto the ring;

The next second, he clearly sensed that the space inside the ring began to expand rapidly.

In the blink of an eye, the space inside the ring had become extremely large.

Li Qin roughly estimated that it was about 10*10*10 meters in size.

He felt that if he wanted, this space could be expanded further, but that might lead to some unexpected events.

For example, the expansion of space can lead to collapse.

Upon seeing this, Li Qin immediately stopped expanding the space.

This keeps the internal space of the ring at approximately 10*10*10 meters.

"The real key moment is yet to come."

At this point, the ring in Li Qin's hand had been transformed into a temporary storage ring.

Before the Seamless Stretch Spell used by Li Qin expires, the space inside the ring will remain in an expanded state, but once the magic expires...

The space inside the ring will then return to its original state.

Li Qin naturally took action, and he certainly wouldn't create a temporary solution.

What he wanted to forge was a permanent storage ring.

"Change rapidly!"

As Li Qin pointed at a receipt on the table;

The original paper ticket was transformed into a carving knife.

This is precisely the effect of transfiguration.

Li Qin picked up the conjured carving knife and began carefully engraving alchemical runes on the ring.

Soon, three mysterious and beautiful inscriptions appeared on the originally smooth ring.

"With these three inscriptions—Constancy, Confusion, and Positioning—the storage ring is now completely successfully crafted."

The effect of the constant rune is to keep the expanded space indefinitely.

The effect of the Confusion Rune is to make people unconsciously ignore the ring;

In this way, even if Li Qin wears this ring, it won't seem out of place to others, thus avoiding any suspicion of anything unusual.

The positioning rune is to prevent the ring from being lost;

Even if the ring is lost for some reason, Li Qin can retrieve it using the Flying Spell.

Li Qin put down the carving knife in his hand, then held the ring in both hands and examined it carefully.

Finally, a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

Although it was his first time actually doing it, thanks to his complete inheritance and the enhanced spirit after his divine power, Li Qin successfully completed the crafting of the storage ring.

"Let's try it out first and see how it goes."

Li Qin immediately put the ring on his right index finger.

The size is just right.

Then Li Qin's hand brushed over the pile of small denomination coins on the table.

The coins vanished instantly.

However, Li Qin clearly saw that all the coins that had just disappeared were now inside the ring's space.

He then ran his hand over the receipts and household registration information again.

These items were instantly absorbed into the ring space.

Next, Li Qin began to experiment with the storage ring's effects in the room.

After numerous experiments, Li Qin determined that the storage ring could only collect items that the right hand could reach, but this was not the case when it was released.

Li Qin can place the items in the ring anywhere within a three-meter radius around him.

This makes the storage ring much more flexible in its use.

Just as Li Qin was about to try to refine other alchemical items, he suddenly heard a loud sizzling sound.

Li Qin subconsciously looked out the window.

They discovered that it was already broad daylight, and everyone in the courtyard had gotten up.

"I can't believe how fast time flies."

Immersed in his interest, Li Qin didn't even notice the passage of time.

However, since it was already daylight, he couldn't stay hidden in the room any longer.

"Completely cleaned up!"

Li Qin first cast a cleansing spell on himself, and instantly his whole being became clear and transparent, inside and out.

Their clothes were also clean and tidy.

However, the patch on top is somewhat unsightly.

Although Li Qin could use magic to make his clothes look brand new, he couldn't do that.

He has lived in this courtyard house for nearly a year.

Although I rarely interact with the people in the compound because I usually leave early and return late, we still got to know each other.

Everyone in the hospital knew about his situation.

The fact that someone who doesn't even have a stable job can wear brand new clothes only makes people think of crooked ways.

Given the nature of these people in the courtyard, they would immediately turn around and report Li Qin.

Li Qin didn't want to cause trouble for the time being, so he chose to keep a low profile for a while and then slowly make changes after his work was settled.

That way it won't seem out of place.

After cleaning himself up, Li Qin glanced around the room.

The original owner was a clean and tidy person. Although the room was not big and the things were quite old, the room was still clean and tidy.

However, Li Qin, who was used to modern society, still felt that it was rather dirty.

"Completely cleaned up!"

As he chanted the incantation, Li Qin waved his hand towards the room;

next second.

All the dust in the room, whether on the tables, chairs, floor, or even in the crevices of the walls, disappeared.

The room was still the same room, but it felt brighter.

Besides being small and poorly lit, the reverse-facing rooms also have poor ventilation.

In addition, this courtyard house is quite old, so the rooms have always had a lingering musty smell.

However, as Li Qin cleaned the room thoroughly, the unpleasant smell disappeared.

"Now this is a place where people can live."

Li Qin clapped his hands in satisfaction.

Before finding stable employment, he would need to stay in this room for a while, and Li Qin naturally hoped the environment would be better.

This will at least make me feel better.

Moreover, doing this was just a small favor for him, so naturally he was happy to do it.

After doing all this, Li Qin slowly walked to the door and took a deep breath.

"I've arrived, a brand new era! I've arrived, you beasts!"
