Bai Yaoyao was genuinely intrigued. After setting up a mental power barrier, she slipped back into her space.
She gathered up all the jade.
For her second attempt, she used a slightly larger piece and again tried to fuse half a cubic meter of space into it. This time, the fusion succeeded, but the jade shattered after barely a few seconds.

But the instant she poured spatial force into it, it exploded into fragments. It was even worse than the second piece.
Bai Yaoyao's face darkened. I got this from a museum, and this is all it's good for? You fucking museum people displayed a fake?
Looking at the thousands upon thousands of pieces of jade before her, Bai Yaoyao felt a headache coming on.
Condensing spatial force drained a tremendous amount of ability energy and mental stamina. If she was unlucky and picked a few more lousy pieces...
