Death... and me

3029  Shall We Check?

Rean crouched and plucked a few of the Red Star Mushrooms, much to Little Fisha and Foliana's confusion. Didn't he say he didn't want anything?

Rean noticed their expressions and laughed. "Hahaha! Don't worry. I'm not taking them for myself. Just wait a few minutes, and I will give it back to you, Foliana."

Foliana quickly shook her head. "It-It's fine. If you want them, just take them. I don't know anything about alchemy anyway."

Foliana then looked at the Herb Garden and couldn't help but wonder. "Now... what do I do with this place? There is no way I can fit such a huge garden in my Spatial Ring."

Rean immediately threw several Spatial Rings to Foliana. "Here, take them. They are fairly easy to craft anyway."

Foliana was taken aback and quickly caught the Spatial Rings. They were empty... but each one of them had hundreds of times more space than her own. "This... aren't they expensive?"

"I don't know," Rean shrugged. "I crafted them myself but never tried to sell them. They definitely aren't as valuable as the weapons I make, though."

Folaina swallowed hard and just accepted. However, she didn't take the herbs. "Then let's make a trade. I will keep the Spatial Rings, and you can take the herbs. I don't like to be on the receiving end all the time."

Rean pointed at the herbs. "You do know there are a few herbs here that are over twenty thousand years old, right? I'm not kidding. They should easily fetch a few thousand Rank Five Spiritual Stones."

"Hearing it only makes me afraid of them, to be honest," Foliana spoke back.

Rean understood. Such herbs would definitely make her target number one for many old monsters out there if they found out about it. She wasn't confident she could hide their existence at all. That said, Rean gave her an idea. "Well, we are staying on this planet for a while, and you have our CD number. I can keep them for now, and you can simply call me if you need them in the future. How about that? Of course, if I use them, I can simply pay you back."

"Yes, please!" Foliana sighed in relief. Well, she had no intention of asking the herbs back anyway.

Rean waved his hand, and all the herbs in the garden, as well as the puppets, disappeared in a fell swoop. Inside the Dimensional Realm, Sister Orb couldn't help but complain. [You do know we are suffering with space at the moment, right? I can organize a garden close to the Pristine Elemental Liquid, and the puppets should do a good job there. However, we will be pretty constrained here after that]

Roan immediately asked. 'Isn't there any new upgrades in the system to increase the Dimensional Realm size?'

*Pin!*

As if hearing Roan's words and Sister Orb's complaints, the system came back to life. [New upgrade available: Celestial Expansion.]

Roan's mouth twitched. Couldn't the system have added it from the start?

Rean almost laughed right there and then, but he didn't mind. It wasn't the first time the system added an upgrade because they were in need of something. "Foliana, I'll be right back."

*Zush!*

Rean then disappeared from right in front of Foliana and Little Fisha, scaring the two females.

Inside the Dimensional Realm, the twins took a look at the upgrade.

[Celestial Expansion: 01 Celestial Point]

[Effect: Allows the expansion of the Dimensional Realm. Size is determined by the hosts' cultivation.]

"This one is very different from the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm upgrades..." Rean commented.

"Indeed," Roan agreed. "The Soul Gem Dimensional Realm was directly linked to the Unification of the Universe itself. This new Dimensional Realm has nothing to do with it, so it is different... I think."

"That also explains why it is so cheap," Rean added. "After all, the size has nothing to do with how many Celestial Points we have."

[It is quite good.] Sister Orb joined the conversation. [In the Nascent Soul Realm, it already gives you a kilometer of radius. Compared to the few tens of meters we have a the moment, it is a great upgrade. I can even make a bigger herb garden and take more of the Pristine Elemental Liquid from the pond.]

The twins nodded. They had 07 Celestial Points, and the Dimensional Realm space was being quite bothersome. It wasn't a bad call.

[Celestial Expansion: 01 Celestial Point]

[Confirm Upgrade?]

"Yes!"

*Zush!*

This time, there was no such thing as huge events. The Spatial Wall of the Dimensional Realm simply expanded to a kilometer in radius as if it wasn't anything impressive.

"That was fast..." Rean mentioned, seeing the little piece of land they were standing on in the middle of space.

Roan couldn't be happier, though. "The simpler, the better." he then moved to the Spirit Cleansing Liquid and collected one of the Algae. "Now then, I'll concoct the pill. Should be ready in a few minutes."

Rean nodded and was about to exit the Dimensional Realm when Tony called his attention. 'Hey, Rean.'

"What is it?" Rean asked back.

Even now, Tony was able to see what was happening outside. He just couldn't see what happened in the Dimensional Realm. 'Who's the girl?'

Rean looked at the images being transmitted. "Hum? Weren't you looking until now?"

'Well...' Tony felt embarrassed. 'I was quite bored after you took care of the guys at the entrance, so I stopped paying attention. Only now I noticed her.'

"I see." Rean didn't mind and simply used his Spiritual Sense to tell the whole story about her. Then, he took the chance to ask. "Why? Does she interest you?" he didn't forget Tony had to find someone compatible and that he liked.

'Hum... perhaps,' Tony gave an ambiguous answer. 'I'll keep an eye on her for the time being.'

Rean didn't mind. "Suit yourself." Finally, he exited the Dimensional Realm, appearing in front of Foliana and Little Fisha Again. "Hey there, sorry for the wait."

Foliana and Little Fisha didn't even know what to say. They had never seen people disappearing and reappearing like that before. "Su...Sure..."

Rean smiled and began to make his way out of the room. "Well then, shall we check the other rooms?"

And as always, any Golden Tickets and Stones are welcome. ;)
