Remodel? Easy! (Seeking Follow-ups, Comments, and Encouragement!)

The next morning, the gentle rays of the early sun spilled into every corner of Spirit Hall, and Lin Ze'an woke up early.

He first headed out to Yue Guan's palace, where he bowed respectfully and said, "Good morning, Master!"

Yue Guan was in the middle of his cultivation; seeing it was Lin Ze'an, he smiled slightly. "Up so early?"

At these words, Lin Ze'an nodded and proceeded to explain his plan to go out for training.

To his surprise, his master didn't say much, merely cautioning him to stay safe.

Then again, it made sense; since he was traveling with Hu Liena, he figured his master would likely follow in the shadows to protect them.

After leaving Yue Guan's place, Lin Ze'an headed straight for Spirit City.

He spent an hour browsing, purchasing a fair amount of materials, including rare metals and various medicinal herbs.

Once he returned home with an armful of supplies, Lin Ze'an shut the courtyard gate and began tinkering away in the yard.

Little Sprout sat to the side, gnawing on a medicinal herb and watching him with a puzzled expression.

"Little Sprout, watch closely," Lin Ze'an said mysteriously. "I'm going to show you my craftsmanship."

Elsewhere, Yan had also risen early to prepare for his cultivation.

Just as he was about to begin, a sudden, thunderous boom erupted from next door, followed by a thick plume of smoke.

Yan froze, staring at the neighbor's house in disbelief before rushing over.

"Lin Ze'an?!" He pounded on the courtyard gate. "Lin Ze'an! Are you alright?"

After a moment, Lin Ze'an's voice finally drifted out: "Senior, I'm fine! I'm just making something!"

Hearing that he was safe, Yan let out a sigh of relief. Without asking further questions, he turned and headed back to his own courtyard.

However, Yan's ears would know no peace for the rest of the afternoon.

As time passed, the explosions did not cease; if anything, they became more frequent.

Every little while, another loud bang would ring out, accompanied by black smoke billowing into the sky.

Finally, after a whole afternoon of hard work, Lin Ze'an straightened his aching back.

His face was covered in dust and a few stray tufts of hair stood up stubbornly, but his eyes shone with excitement.

"Finally, it's a success!" Lin Ze'an's face flushed as he excitedly held up the necklace.

Under the sunlight, the once ordinary-looking necklace now emitted a soft glow, and the gemstone at its center was clearer and more crystalline than ever before.

This was the very necklace Yue Guan had gifted him, capable of storing living creatures, but now it was brand new, its spiritual energy several times more potent than before.

Lin Ze'an stroked the necklace carefully, reflecting on his afternoon's experiments.

When he had agreed to go out for training, he had realized that bringing along a spirit pet that clearly looked like a soul beast would be far too conspicuous.

Since the necklace already had the ability to store living things, could he try to modify it into a more practical pet capsule?

If he could keep Little Sprout inside the necklace to carry with him, it would be both safe and convenient, and it could even allow him to catch enemies off guard.

Although limited by materials and technology, the final product was far from perfect.

For now, it could only achieve a simple storage function and could not provide the restorative effects of the capsules from Seer.

Even so, this was the greatest improvement Lin Ze'an could make to the necklace using his current resources and effort.

Furthermore, he had managed to upgrade the necklace by tapping into Mo Ruier's immense vitality.

If it were any other local of this world, even with the skill, they would never be able to craft a container capable of holding a soul beast or a spirit.

"Little Sprout, come and try it out!" He turned around and beckoned to Little Sprout, who was peering over curiously.

Little Sprout hopped over, tilting its small head to look at the necklace in Lin Ze'an's hand.

Lin Ze'an said softly to Little Sprout, "Don't be afraid. I've modified this necklace so you can live inside it from now on."

Little Sprout tilted its head, seemingly understanding his words, and nodded vigorously.

Lin Ze'an gently stroked Little Sprout's head and carefully activated the necklace's storage function.

As he channeled his soul power, the gemstone at the center began to emit a soft green light, which gradually condensed into a tiny vortex hovering in front of the gem.

"Now!"

Lin Ze'an gently lifted Little Sprout, aiming its tiny paws at the green vortex of light.

Though a bit nervous, Little Sprout bravely took a step forward, slowly walking into the light.

"Sprout..." The creature's voice faded as its body was gradually swallowed by the glow.

Watching Little Sprout disappear, Lin Ze'an stared at the necklace with intense focus, terrified that something might go wrong.

Just as Little Sprout's entire body entered the light, the necklace's gemstone suddenly erupted with a dazzling green radiance.

The light persisted for a few seconds before gradually dimming and finally vanishing altogether.

"Did it work?!"

Lin Ze'an carefully inspected the necklace, then attempted to communicate with the space inside it through his soul power.

Almost immediately, he sensed a familiar aura.

"Little Sprout!" he called out excitedly, simultaneously transmitting information and reassurance to Little Sprout inside the necklace via his soul power.

Following that, the human and the sprout conducted a few more tests.

From initial caution to later proficiency, the entire process became increasingly smooth.

"It's done!" Lin Ze'an let out a long sigh of relief, a brilliant smile blooming on his face.

The necklace's structure was now stable, its functions were operating normally, and Little Sprout could enter and exit freely without any interference.

However, just as Lin Ze'an wanted to perform one final confirmation, he suddenly felt a wave of intense exhaustion sweep over his entire body.

Throughout the entire afternoon, he had not only invested a massive amount of soul power into his experiments but had also expended a great deal of mental energy and focus.

At this moment, all that fatigue seemed to erupt at once.

He figured it was because he had forgotten to eat and had consumed so much soul power that what remained in his body was insufficient to sustain his physical functions, leading to hypoglycemia.

Thinking of this, Lin Ze'an sighed, slowly sat down on the ground, leaned his back against a small tree in the courtyard, and gasped for air.

He suddenly realized why there was no such thing as hypoglycemia on the Douluo Continent; it was because soul masters mostly referred to it as weakness caused by the overuse of soul power...

His small face, previously flushed with excitement, was now replaced by a deathly pallor.

Before his consciousness completely plunged into darkness, a leaf gently rested against his palm, and a warm, comfortable stream of soul power gradually flowed into him.

After a long while, once the depleted soul power in his body had been gradually replenished, Lin Ze'an finally recovered.

The moment he opened his eyes, he was met with the sight of Little Sprout, who was leaning in front of him with a worried expression.

"Little Sprout." He sat up, just about to say something, when he saw Little Sprout hop away, darting toward a pile of medicinal herbs not far away and frantically rummaging through them.

In the blink of an eye, the little fellow had gathered a few herbs and came hopping back toward him.

"Doudou!" Little Sprout tilted its little head up, a vibrant green herb clamped in its mouth.

It ran up to Lin Ze'an, and then—

"Nom!"

Under Lin Ze'an's shocked gaze, it actually shoved a handful of herbs directly into his mouth!
