Cultivating Immortality: I Have a High-Martial World

Chapter 21 A Transaction Across Two Worlds: Nano Storage Bag?

"How long until we begin our time travel?"

Wang Xinyu's voice sounded a little nervous.

Lin Chen glanced at Wang Xinyu; from her eyes to her movements, she was exactly the same as before he transmigrated.

With a sigh, Lin Chen said helplessly:

"Well, I'm back..."

"Huh...what!?"

Wang Xinyu and the others exclaimed in surprise, and sure enough, they found that Lin Chen's attire had changed.

The previously tattered robe has been transformed into a green Taoist robe.

With his medium-length hair tied back, paired with his handsome, nascent face, Lin Chen truly exuded an ethereal and otherworldly aura.

"You...you're back already?"

Wang Xinyu was first taken aback, then said with some disappointment:

"Sigh, it seems we really can't travel through time with you..."

Lin Chen glanced at the reset countdown on his left arm and comforted him:

"It's alright... I brought back a lot of good stuff this time!"

After saying that, Lin Chen first checked the storage bag.

Then came a wave of disappointment...

As expected, the storage bag failed; the alternate dimension inside it didn't travel with Lin Chen at all.

"Luckily, I didn't put the supplies I was supposed to bring back in the storage bag..."

Lin Chen breathed a sigh of relief, and then took out the supplies from the cultivation world one by one.

Cold iron stone, spirit rice seeds, talismans, qi and blood pills...

"This is the second-tier exotic metal you mentioned before, known in the cultivation world as Cold Iron Stone..."

Lin Chen handed over the cold iron stone.

Wang Xinyu was taken aback when she saw that Lin Chen had brought back so many items from the cultivation world.

"Wait a minute... I'll call my dad right now!"

She knew that Lin Chen must have made great progress in exploring the world of cultivation.

This is a matter of great importance, and she alone is probably unable to make a decision.

Half an hour later, Wang Lishan rushed over.

Upon seeing Lin Chen return alive, he first breathed a sigh of relief, then said:

"Xinyu said you've made a major discovery in the cultivation world?"

Lin Chen nodded slightly and handed over the spirit rice seeds he had promised earlier.

"This is the spirit rice seed, also known as the spirit food I mentioned... Consuming it is extremely useful for enhancing a martial artist's strength!"

"Spirit rice thrives in moist, warm climates and can be harvested twice a year under suitable conditions. One mu (approximately 0.16 acres) of spirit rice field can produce about 1,000 jin (approximately 500 kg) of spirit rice..."

"Based on my deduction, for martial apprentices and martial artists, consuming one pound of spirit rice daily can increase their qi and blood growth rate two to three times faster!"

Wang Lishan was shocked when he heard Lin Chen's words!

Two harvests a year, yielding 1,000 catties per mu!

This spirit rice has an astonishing yield and can even make a martial artist's cultivation two or three times faster!

If this can be widely promoted, the number of warriors and martial arts masters in the Great Xia Kingdom will probably double in less than ten years!

He quickly picked up a seed of spirit rice, only to find that the seed had a golden husk and was much plumper than ordinary rice, clearly indicating that it was not an ordinary crop.

"Great, great!" Wang Lishan grinned from ear to ear.

But Lin Chen quickly poured cold water on his enthusiasm.

"However... based on my deduction, this spirit rice needs spiritual energy to grow..."

"But right now, I don't have a way to bring spiritual energy back to the world of high martial arts."

After hearing Lin Chen's words, Wang Lishan was stunned for a moment, then sighed and said:

"This progress is already quite good, considering you haven't been in the cultivation world for very long..."

"There's no rush regarding this spirit rice; we have plenty of time."

Wang Lishan knew that one couldn't become fat overnight, so he comforted Lin Chen with a word of comfort.

Then he picked up a piece of cold iron stone and weighed it in his hand.

"This... is this the exotic metal ore I mentioned before?"

"Judging by its quality, it is indeed quite good... Could this item be widely distributed across Earth?"

After listening, Lin Chen gave a brief introduction to the Cold Iron Stone, and then added:

"Cold iron stone is not rare. According to the cultivation world, the reserves of this stone are extremely large."

"The only problem is that this cold iron stone is difficult to smelt..."

Wang Lishan smiled after hearing Lin Chen's words, but said:

"What difficulties are there in smelting? With the technology of my Great Xia Kingdom, it would not be difficult to build a smelting chamber with a temperature of tens of thousands of degrees."

"The key question is, what is the value of this cold iron stone in the cultivation world? Can you purchase a large quantity of it...?"

Lin Chen blinked after hearing this, and immediately understood.

In the cultivation world, spiritual fire, earth fire, or fire-based techniques are needed to refine artifacts and purify ores.

But the Great Xia Kingdom is different!

The Great Xia Kingdom has advanced technology; it can create things not only at temperatures of 10,000 degrees Celsius, but also at temperatures of hundreds of thousands of degrees Celsius!

Therefore, refining cold iron ore and even forging weapons is not a problem.

As long as he can bring out enough Cold Iron Stones, the country can quickly produce heterometal weapons and deploy them on the monster battlefield!

"A fist-sized piece of cold iron is worth about two spirit stones..."

Lin Chen then gave a general description of the value of the Cold Iron Stone and the purchasing power of spirit stones in the cultivation world.

Wang Lishan frowned slightly after hearing this and said:

"Spirit stones? We can't provide you with that kind of resource..."

"But if we give you a batch of weapons and resources, could you take them to the cultivation world and sell them for spirit stones?"

Lin Chen carefully considered the feasibility of this move.

The weapons and resources of the Great Xia Kingdom mostly possess certain technological characteristics.

However, this is not absolute; some weapons and cultivation worlds share certain similarities.

For example, hand grenades are similar to the "Five Thunderbolts" magic weapon in the world of cultivation, both of which injure people through explosion.

The difference is that grenades do not require spiritual energy to control, and even an ordinary person using them could potentially kill a Qi Refining stage cultivator!

If Lin Chen becomes a weapon refiner, he can completely create the image of a "weapon refining genius".

They claimed that the weapons of the Great Xia Kingdom were forged by themselves and then sold in large quantities...

Thinking of this, Lin Chen nodded slightly and said:

"It's somewhat feasible, but a new batch needs to be manufactured separately. It can't have a serial number, and it can't have too many technological features..."

Lin Chen roughly stated his thoughts, and then said:

"And that might not be possible in the short term; I need to acquire a certain status in the cultivation world..."

"Besides that, I probably won't be able to bring too many weapons at once."

Lin Chen handed over the storage bag and briefly explained its principle and function.

The problem is that the alternate dimension inside the storage bag is independent, so Lin Chen cannot use the storage bag to carry things between the two worlds.

After hearing Lin Chen's words, Wang Lishan seemed to be thinking and said:

"Your storage bag is somewhat similar to the nanobags of the Great Xia Kingdom, only the principle is different..."

"I wonder if this nanobag will be able to help you transport your goods."

Wang Lishan handed over a palm-sized, high-tech-looking bag.

"This nanobag was made from the stomach of a monster called the Gluttonous Serpent, and it utilizes martial arts technology and nanotechnology..."

"Items placed in the nanobag are theoretically still inside the bag; their weight remains the same, only they are shrunk..."

Lin Chen's eyes lit up immediately upon hearing this.

According to Wang Lishan, the contents of the nanobag do not exist in another dimension.

Lin Chen is essentially carrying a bag, and the contents of that bag should also travel through time with him!

He studied the nanobags carefully.

The bag, about the size of a palm, is surprisingly elastic and can expand as it is stretched.

It can even hold several cubic meters of items at once without any problem!

Meanwhile, the nanobag has a large internal space, and Lin Chen estimated that it could hold ten cubic meters of supplies at a time.

This kind of storage space is equivalent to a more advanced storage bag in the world of cultivation.

However, nanobags also have disadvantages compared to storage bags.

For example, the items in the storage bag cannot be felt as heavy, but the storage capacity of the nanobag depends to a large extent on Lin Chen's physical strength.

If Lin Chen had enough strength, loading several hundred tons of supplies at once wouldn't be a problem.

However, at present, he can only carry a maximum of one or two tons of supplies.

"For me right now, this nanobag is more useful than a storage bag..."

Lin Chen's eyes lit up, and he immediately put the nanobag away.

He then took out two pills and handed them to Wang Lishan.

"These are Marrow Cleansing Pills and Qi and Blood Pills... They might be of great use to martial artists!"
