Chapter 245: Life 73, Age 40, Martial Grandmaster Peak
Several years earlier, I had decided that having my storage space be the shape of a sphere wasn’t ideal. If my storage space continued to grow evenly in every direction, then there would eventually be too much ‘up,’ and it would be difficult to make efficient use of all the space. Additionally, if the space’s land was built upon a spherical base, it would constantly shift and move as the sphere’s radius expanded.
To alleviate these problems, I had long ago decided to try and turn the space into a cylinder with a fixed height and an ever-increasing radius. With this shape, while there might still be earthquakes and landslides around the edges as the space grew, most areas would be stable.
However, to figure out how to make this happen, I had to turn to the System.
“System, I want to purchase a complete mastery of my spatial fire seed.”
Purchase confirmed. Cost 10 billion credits. 727,305,430,897 credits remaining.
Knowledge flooded my mind.
As soon as I had absorbed this torrent of information, I turned my focus inward and gazed at the seed of the spatial spirit fire residing in my soul.
In the past, I had avoided using this flame for alchemy because of a lack of affinity, a lack of understanding of how it worked, and a lack of desire to draw attention to myself. With the new understanding that I had just gained, I knew that this had been the right choice.
A spatial spirit fire was inherently destructive. If I tried to use it to burn away toxins in medicinal herbs, it would have created small pockets of expanded space with each bit of toxin it destroyed. Without supreme control and an overwhelmingly high affinity, I wouldn’t have had any chance of stopping these pockets of space from ripping the medicinal energy to shreds.
