BXBX NOVEL Chapter 212 Shocking News
Though he was sure that all of these boxes could fit inside the emerald embedded storage device, he did not dare to take it out. After all, the bracelet belonged to Mu Shi, a scion of the Mu Family!
"If only I had a storage device with enough space…."
Ikasa lamented as he carefully stored the two large boxes carrying the Pyroclastic Geode in his storage ring. He then turned to Hong Niu with a request.
"Brother Hong, my storage device is not large enough to fit all these goods in it. Can You please deliver the remaining boxes to the Pleasant Dream Inn?"
Hong Niu readily agreed to Ikasa\'s request and immediately ordered his servants to pack the boxes. While the laborers worked, Hong Niu engaged Ikasa in conversation.
"Brother Ikasa, I don\'t know if you are lucky or unlucky."
"Why do you say so, Brother Hong?"
Ikasa asked, mildly surprised by Hong Niu\'s ominous words.
"I heard a rumor in my circle. They say that the Fortune Lotus Pavilion has acquired a Storage Ring made by Grandmaster Blacksmith Xi Fan of the Furnace Fire Empire. It at least has a capacity of 10 cubic meters!"
Xin Ruo sitting beside Ikasa gasped and even his eyes widened slightly.
A ring with 10 cubic meters had as much space as a large container truck on Earth! Only a Grandmaster Blacksmith could fit such a large storage space in a tiny storage ring.
It would be a lie to say that Ikasa was not tempted. He also desired to have such an extraordinary object but they were prohibitively expensive.
Also, the powerful sects, families or clans immediately snapped up any Space Rings appearing in the market. So, even if he could scrunch up the large sum, there was no way he could find a Storage Space Ring in the open market.
This time should be no different. Although the Space Ring was being auctioned, Ikasa had no illusions of winning the bid for it.
Yet, it was one of the things he deeply desired!
\'No wonder Hong Niu said words like that. I, myself, don\'t know whether I should laugh or cry at this news.\'
When there was no avenue of getting the ring, Ikasa had no reason to even think about it. However, now that he had a definite clue, he was unwilling to let this opportunity pass.
\'Maybe if I liquidate my unused assets like the Spatial Bracelet from Mu Shi…\'
Ikasa became lost in thought during the brief pause in their conversation.
The Servants had finished loading the goods while Ikasa and Hong Niu chatted. Confirming that everything was in place, Yan Xiao boarded the cart and guided the men to the Pleasant Dream Inn.
Ikasa also took leave from Hong Niu after obtaining valuable information about the Space Ring.
When their main purpose for visiting the Elm City was achieved, Ikasa felt like a huge weight had been lifted off his shoulders.
\'Now as long as Sang Yi and Zhong Xi pick a few good options for me to choose from, I can cross the second of my main goals from the list.\'
Ikasa thought with a smile as he matched steps with Xin Ruo on their way to the other side of the ground to pick up Luo Qiqi, Chu Qing and Bu Fan.

"Zhong Xi, remember this place. That is the largest brothel in Elm City run by the Su Family."
Sang Yi urged pointing to the large multi storeyed building built from white stone. The gold and red decorations on it combined with charming beauties waving at them from the entrance and the galleries left a deep impression on the one armed teenager.
The eyes of Zhong Xi were transfixed on the ample fair bosom of some beauty standing in the gallery. A tittering laugh escaped her lips when she saw Zhong Xi gulp down his saliva with a red face.
Noticing his embarrassment, Sang Yi patted the boy on his shoulders and drew his attention to the street leading to a large manor.
"If you follow this section of the Eastern street, you will end up at the Su Family\'s residence. In fact, most of the establishments on this street belong to the Su Family."
Sang Yi was usually not so talkative but he had quickly taken a liking to the one armed teen. He did not expect to find someone who was as straightforward as himself in Ikasa\'s group. So he was pleasantly surprised to be acquainted with Zhong Xi.
Suddenly, the backs of the two youths stiffened. It was not just them but every person on the street had gone stiff as a huge pressure pressed down on them.
Resisting the unintentional pressure, Sang Yi hesitatingly peeked at the sky.
A figure was walking in the air, moving towards the Su Family Manor. Magnificent green lotuses formed underneath her steps supporting her weight.
Sang Yi had no idea who she was but he guessed her to be a Chakra Sage from her ability to sustain her flight!
Soon, his guess was confirmed as the Chakra Sage Grand Elder of the Su Family came out to meet the approaching figure. His flight technique was not as spectacular as that of the lady, but the tiny pink swirls underneath his feet let him levitate in the air with stability.
"A Chakra Sage from the venerated Mu Family. May I know what brings you to the Su Family\'s humble Spring Mansion?"
An aged voice reverberated in the area, falling in the ears of every onlooker on the street. The voice was neither warm nor cold, maintaining a polite but firm tone.
A slightly larger verdant lotus formed under the feet of the Chakra Sage from the Mu Family. She came to a stop in midair, maintaining some distance from the Su Family\'s Grand Elder.
"Are you sure you want to expose our talks to them?"
Unlike the Elder, the Lady Sage did not show a slightest bit of humbleness. Her tone as she mentioned them while pointing to the pedestrians was clearly full of superiority and haughtiness.
Yet, not a single person dared to open their mouths to challenge her words. Such was the terror of a Chakra Opening Realm Expert and what\'s more this Expert came from the militant Mu Family!
The Grand Elder was well aware of the fact that he was no match for this lady from the Mu Family who looked young but was over 70 years old!
He could only obey her wishes and invite her inside the Su Family\'s Spring Mansion.
As soon as the two Chakra Sages disappeared behind the tall walls surrounding the Mansion, the people felt the pressure being lifted from their shoulders. Most of them breathed a sigh of relief and went back to doing what they were but not Sang Yi.
His mouth was wide open and blood had drained from his face as he realized the implications of the visit by a Chakra Sage from the Mu Family to the Su Family!
\'Were we exposed? Did we perhaps leave some clue behind?\'
Sang Yi thought with an anxious face upon seeing the relatively amiable exchange of the two Chakra Sages. In just a few moments he gathered his thoughts and came to a decision.
\'No, I need to immediately report this matter to Ikasa! Not just Ikasa but also the Ancestor and Clan Head!\'
Sang Yi abandoned the thought of searching for a shop on the street and dragged Zhong Xi towards their ride. Soon a carriage drawn by a Dual Horned horse raced down the Eastern Street towards the Pleasant Dream Inn near the southern part of the City!
