Apocalypse: Transmigrated General’s Daughter Uses Space to Survive

"I should have known. That beast must have wanted to enjoy time alone before you all found us. How cunning. He better pray that I don't lay my hands on it otherwise, he's going to regret it." Ye Xuan could tell that the tortoise was seething with rage but he still didn't understand what was going on even though he could guess a little.

However, he also felt that it wouldn't be beneficial for him to know too much at the moment, otherwise it might affect his cultivation.

Thinking of this, he didn't ask anymore about such things and turned to look at Chu Miao who was happily collecting herbs and stones.

Ye Xuan had never seen such a simple side of her. She was happy just because she was collecting some herbs and stones which he was sure she didn't know how to use.

He smiled in spite of himself and asked the tortoise, "what's the use of those colorful stones she is picking?"

The tortoise looked at Chu Miao and exclaimed that the two of them were as lucky as ever.

"Those are not stones, they are a type of ore used in the refinement of holy level and saint level weapons. If you want to refine a weapon of a high level, you can't do it without that ore.

However, it is so rare that even during the time ruled by gods, finding weapons that had reached the holy level was a matter of luck. Most of the gods used sacred weapons which are a rank lower than holy weapons.

Moreover, only a small piece is used to make one weapon, yet here she has found so many of those ores. She is a little rich lady now."

Ye Xuan nearly burst out laughing when he heard the tortoise speak like a human. What did it mean by Chu Miao was a little rich lady now?

However, thinking if what it had just said, if those things were used to make holy weapons, then his girlfriend was indeed rich.

He, however, didn't feel tempted to take some of the ores, he just thought that if his girlfriend liked them, she could take them all. However, he had to warn her not to take them out in front of others, lest it became a trigger for bloodbath.

Since he started cultivating, he had read widely about cultivation from books Chu Miao provided for him.

So, he understood the importance of different classes of weapons. Now that he was starting to realize that he may have lived another life as a cultivator, and from the clues given by the tortoise, he should have been a powerful one, then he should be even more careful.

As they were thinking about different things, Chu Miao came back after putting everything away into the soul ring.

Ye Xuan explained to her what the tortoise had said and the first thing she did was want to give some of the ores and herbs to Ye Xuan.

"No need for us to have such a clear line between us. I believe that if I ever need them you will give them to me. So, what's the use of giving them to me now? Just keep everything. I trust you."

Those three last words made Chu Miao feel warm all over, especially her heart.

She had not expected Ye Xuan to refuse something like ores that could make holy weapons and say that he trusted her.

She swore that she would never let him down in this life. Ye Xuan might not know the significance of those ores, but she did. After all, she still had her memories of her life in the ancient era.

However, during those era, there were no holy weapons because the materials for making them had already gone extinct by then and even weaponsmiths who could make them weren't available.

She remembered hearing about someone who had found a broken holy weapon in a secret realm, but even though it had been broken, it had been more powerful than the so-called spiritual weapons at the time.

So when she heard that the stones she just thought were colorful and collected them because she thought they might serve a decorative purpose were actually ores used in making such high-level weapons, she was overjoyed.

"Alright, let's go up before those guys start to worry and decide to come into the lake to look for us." Ye Xuan said as he took his girlfriend's hand and began to swim upwards.

As they swam, Chu Miao finally asked the tortoise the question that lingered at the back of her mind.

"By the way tortoise, what is that fog that appeared as soon as we got close to the lake?" She had been wondering about this because there wasn't a reaction from them when they passed through the fog.

"Oh! That's a barrier I set to prevent others from disturbing me. I was waiting for my master and preferred not to interact with others or deal with the trouble others brought along.

So, I set up that fog barrier to deter others from coming close." The tortoise explained the origin of the fog.

"But how does the fog deter others from coming close to the lake?" This was what Chu Miao didn't understand since there was not a reaction when someone walked into the fog.

"It had no reaction to you and master because it has the signature of your soul energy, so it won't hurt you. However, if it was someone else, then they would have turned into a sieve as soon as they walked in.

The fog has a high corrosive ability and depending on how strong a creature is, they will suffer varying degrees of corrosion.

If they are not very strong, then they wouldn't even last long enough to withdraw from the fog." The tortoise continued to explain the properties of the fog.

It had not expected its mistress to be interested in such a low-level barrier.
