The Ruler Of All 27 Spital Ring

"Come, follow me. I'll take you to my teacher's quarters. However, I'm not sure if he's already out. He mentioned last time that the pill his concocting is immensely powerful and might take some time." Ku Wang explained as they walked up the stairs.

Zhu Long nodded and quietly followed Ku Wang. As he walked up the stairs, he noticed that even the stairs were decorated. They had a fire like pattern carved on them complimented a few birds as well.

'Ku Wang and his teacher must have some affinity with fire, since his teacher is an alchemist, it does make sense since his affinity is fire. And one does need a great skill in controlling fire in order to concoct a pill. Now that I think about it, even blacksmith must have a fire affinity, that way they can control the heat while creating a weapon... Now that I think of it, I haven't checked my affinity. They say that everyone has a certain affinity, I wonder what mine will be.' Zhu Long thought as he touched the handrail of the stairs, feeling the smooth carvings.

All cultivators have a certain elemental affinity. Those affinities consist of Fire, Water, Air, Earth, Lightning, which are the most basic one. There are also many non elemental ones which are extremely rare such as Darkness, Light, Time, Space and much more. When cultivators reach a certain strength, they have to cultivate such abilities in order to raise their cultivation to another level. They are called spiritual abilities as if one's soul is injured, they can no longer use them as they are connected directly to the cultivators spirit. Many geniuses have more than one spiritual ability and use them to their advantage.

After climbing the stairs, Zhu Long followed Ku Wang towards a huge door. A familiar paper was hanging on top of the door which caught his attention. He vaguely recalled what those papers were called and what their values are worth of.

'Those are inscriptions! This teacher must be a rich man.' He thought to himself.

Ku Wang turned to look at Zhu Long, he wish to say something, but ended up thinking about it first before speaking.

"Brother Lin, I hope you don't mind, but I'm not sure when teacher will be out. Until then, let's drink some tea." He said while pointing to the balcony where a small table and two chairs. His face seemed to be reddened a little embarrassed by the current situation.

'This guy is so peculiar. He gets embarrassed just because he was expecting his teacher to be out by now, but he had guessed wrong.'

Zhu Long smiled while acting like he didn't notice anything. He walked towards the balcony and said,"I don't mind Brother Ku. We can chat some more while we wait for your teacher to come out."

Ku Wang walked towards the chair opposite of Zhu Long. He touched a small ring on his finger and said," Say Brother Lin, isn't having tea boring? It's almost night fall soon, come, let's have some alcohol."

He pulled out a wine gourd out of thin air. "This is the best wine that I have, I hope you enjoy it!"

Zhu Long was surprised when he heard Ku Wang. He looked at the win gourd, it was as large as his own head. The gourd had a red color and a fire emblem on it. After thinking for some time, he could not help but ask, "I wonder, from where did Brother Ku take the wine gourd? It just seemed to pop out from thin air."

Ku Wang looked at Zhu Long with a surprised expression. He was astonished by the words that had come out of Zhu Long's mouth. "Brother... Brother Lin, do you really not know how I took out the wine gourd?"

Zhu Long smiled embarrassingly, he looked at Ku Wang's ring, though for some while and said in a serious tone, "Forgive me, I really don't know.. I was thinking that Brother Ku might tell me. If I had to guess, it would probably be related to the small ring on your finger."

Ku Wang saw how serious Zhu Long was. He only shook his head and took off his ring. He then looked at Zhu Long's hand and said, "I'm sorry brother, I thought that you knew what these rings was as you were wearing one yourself, but I guess that you really didn't know. Well, these rings are called Spital rings. When one inserts a small amount of qi within them, a space rift opens within them. Where we can store items. If Brother Lin didn't know that, I guess that you should try it for yourself to understand it better. Before you inject some qi you must put a drop of blood in the ring to claim ownership of this ring."

Zhu Long looked surprised, this seemed too mind boggling for him. A place to use as storage that rests on his fingers. Zhu Long shook his head and looked at the ring on his finger. He took out his chakram and cut his finger. He then dropped some blood of his own on top of his ring. Zhu Long then seemed to suddenly remember something.

'I'm a damn fool! How could I forget the most important part? I can't use qi!'

Zhu Long smiled as he looked at Ku Wang, who was sitting in anticipation for Zhu Long to claim ownership of the ring. But at that moment he was also surprised by the weapon that Zhu Long had used to cut his own finger. He was astonished by the shape of the weapon.

'Brother Lin has a really exotic weapon.' He thought to himself.

Ku Wang noticed Zhu Long's gaze, his face filled with humility, like he had done something embarrassing. He looked at Zhu Long and said, "Brother Lin, is there a problem? Did you forget the steps to claiming the ownership of the ring? There is no need to feel embarrassed about that, I'll tell you again. You only need to drop a bit of your blood on the ring and inject some of your qi into the ring, then you can get access to the items within it."

He tried to comfort Zhu Long, even though he felt that it was impossible for someone as powerful as Zhu Long to forget something as simple, that was the only possibility for him to give such an upset and embarrassed face.

Zhu Long smiled wryly, he fiddled with his finger a bit while thinking. After a couple of minutes of thinking, Zhu Long's face was stern and serious, "That's not the case... It's just that I forgot something very important..."

"Please tell me Brother Lin, I'm all ears..." Ku Wang said warmly.

"It's just that... I can't use..."
