Prime Originator

After settling the Realm Spirit's name, Leon shifted his attention to the Tier-7 Golden Grail again.

Given his present runic attainment and divine artifact knowledge from the Divine Realm, there was no way to understand the Tier-7 Golden Grail's function from a glance.

However, there were other ways to find out.

"According to some folklores and stories in Gaia, the grail is often depicted as a holy object with the miraculous powers to heal all wounds, grant eternal life, and realize one's wishes…" Leon recalled.

Tier-7 Divine Artifacts don't have the capacity to grant eternal life or realize any wish; if they had such powers, they wouldn't be limited to Tier-7 Divine Artifacts but something higher.

"Power to heal all wounds?"

Leon paid particular focus to the most realistic power the holy grail was said to have in the folklores and legends.

After staring at the empty Tier-7 Golden Grail for a moment, he summoned a block of ice into it and watched the ice slowly melt in the grail.

Shortly after, the water brightened as if the Tier-7 Golden Grail infused it with holy powers.

Nevertheless, it only lasted a moment before the holy light died down, ultimately disappearing; the water returned to normal as if nothing had happened.

However, Leon knew that something about the water was different.

In that brief instant, he seemed to have vaguely sensed the power of the Profound Light Law at work.

He scooped a bit of water from the grail and studied it closely, sweeping his divine sense over it before ultimately tasting it personally.

A warm yet soothing energy flow quickly travels throughout his body, making him feel comfortable and relaxing.

'Such a strong recovery ability!' Leon exclaimed in his heart.

Although he had no injury to recover, his years of alchemy allowed him to understand the effectiveness of the healing water.

'This healing water is comparable to Tier-4 recovery pills!' Leon concluded.

He had only placed the block of ice in the Tier-7 Golden Grail for a short while, yet it could quickly produce Tier-4 healing medicine.

'This Tier-7 Golden Grail is extremely valuable and useful to me. However, I wonder if the quality improves with time…'

Leon had that thought before his eyes flickered.

'I should test it!'

After filling up the Tier-7 Golden Grail to the brim, Leon placed it in a secured spot inside his Worldspace.

'I'll check on it later,' Leon decided.

No matter whether the Tier-7 Golden Grail could produce healing water of higher quality with time or not, he did not have to worry about refining more healing medicine for the time being.

"Let's see if there are any pleasant surprises among the Tier-6 treasures," Leon moved on to the rest of the treasures.

He found more weapons, plenty of armor, and miscellaneous tools used for cooking, forging, pill refining, and several other storage rings in the treasure pile.

The weapons did not interest Leon much after he found the Tier-7 White Spear; thus, he threw all the weapons into the Worldspace and moved on.

The Tier-6 pieces of armor, clothing, and miscellaneous tools, were also thrown into the Worldspace one by one shortly after.

"A Tier-6 Pill Cauldron?" Leon suddenly paused on the item.

"This should let me refine pill more smoothly and quickly, but other than that, there isn't much use for a Tier-6 Pill Cauldron until I have better spirit herbs to refine higher-tier pills."

That being said, Leon placed the Tier-6 Pill Cauldron in an easy-to-locate spot in the Worldspace like the Tier-7 Golden Grail, Tier-7 White Spear, and Tier-7 Interspatial Ring.

A short while later, Leon almost finished sorting through the treasure pile, leaving 8 Tier-6 Interspatial Rings and 5 Tier-5 Interspatial Rings last on the list.

"There should be a fair bit of goodies in these storage rings, right?" Leon presumed.

He quickly picked up a tier-6 Interspatial Ring and swept its subspace with his divine sense before revealing his astonishment, albeit for a different reason.

Several more treasures were found in the storage ring, ranging between Tier-4 to Tier-6 in quality, but more importantly, black metal ingots filled half the storage space, which was akin to a city.

Leon took out a black metal ingot before giving it a more in-depth inspection as he studied the engravings on the black metal ingot.

"These engravings don't seem to have any special runic meaning behind it, nor is it empowered by the rune language; it's just a simple engraving… On the other hand, this sturdiness is something else."

The black metal ingot's toughness quickly drew his attention.

"This black metal ingot looks like meteorite iron, but its weight and toughness far exceeds that of regular meteorite iron…" Leon analyzed the rectangular object.

A regular meteorite iron ingot would only weigh around 20 jins, but the black metal ingot in his hand weighs around 2000 jins, a hundredfold increase from the standard meteorite iron ingots!

"This black metal ingot is incredibly dense!" Leon's eyes flickered.

The black metal ingot was comparable to Tier-5 or Tier-6 mineral used for artifact forging, and yet there's even a city's worth of it inside the storage ring!

'In case you are wondering, Master, this black ingot is pure starcore iron, mined from the core region of dying stars. It's a Tier-6 material used for forging Tier-6 and Tier-7 Divine Artifacts, but also commonly used as currency in the Celestial Alliance.'

Tak-si informed him.

'I see. So this thing is black iron from a star's core… In that case, a city's worth of starcore iron isn't much, considering the sheer size of the stars,' Leon thought.

Nevertheless, it's not like the Celestial Alliance could go around destroying stars and mining starcore iron as they please.

'Is a city's worth of starcore iron considered a lot in the Celestial Alliance, Tak-si?'

'Definitely, Master! Even Celestial Kings would not have this much wealth unless they had an extraordinary background!'

'I see. So it's considered a lot,' Leon casually replied, but his eyes glowed.

Considering there are another 7 Tier-6  and 5 Tier-5 Interspatial Rings for him to look through, he might have just obtained unimaginable wealth.
