Chapter 74: Minor Dimension
.
Ethan's first instinct was to be on guard, but as soon as he saw where he had ended up, he quickly calmed down.
'So this is a Minor Dimension?'
Ethan currently found himself in what seemed to be a vast stretch of land with nothing but grass on it.
Above his head, he could see a sky and even the sun.
For a moment, he thought he might still be in the same world, just transported to another part of the continent.
But he dismissed the thought.
The system had said this was some kind of dimension, in other words, a place separate from his current world.
Ethan didn't know if this dimension contained just this piece of land or if there was more, but he decided to explore.
With his current speed, he could cover miles of distance in seconds.
He chose a random direction and began to run in a straight line.
He ran without changing direction for almost half an hour before stopping.
He didn't stop because he was tired, but because no matter how far he went, he couldn't see anything on the horizon.
Ethan wasn't sure if there was an actual boundary to this place.
Seeing that searching for a boundary or anything else seemed pointless, he began to think about what exactly he could do in this place.
The only thing he could think of at the moment was that this so-called Minor Dimension was a kind of space he could enter.
He didn't know if he could bring other things, or more importantly, other living beings, but just the fact that he could enter was a good thing.
Although he had yet to discover any other uses for this place, he could at least use it as some sort of refuge, for when he needed to do private things, or things that could attract too much attention.
One example was his breakthroughs.
The breakthroughs he had in his previous stage were still relatively manageable, but the same couldn't be said for future ones.
He would risk blowing up their entire dormitory when attempting a breakthrough in too high a stage.
Of course, not that he would do it in the first place, and would instead look for a more suitable place, but even so, it was hard to find one away from others' eyes.
Here, however, it seemed he could at least do it without facing such problems.
Ethan really wondered if there was an information panel on this place.
In the storage screen, there didn't seem to be anything like that.
He wondered if he could learn something by checking his notification history.
Sometimes, the description of something was in the notification itself.
Pulling up the notification screen, Ethan quickly found the one about the Minor Dimension and clicked on it.
Just as he expected, the status screen changed, and a window appeared.

[----------------------------------
[Minor Dimension]
Grade: Low
Owner: Ethan.
Description: It is a small spatial pocket containing a small undeveloped world, which can be inhabited.
The land of the small world is extremely fertile and rich in natural spiritual energy.
Anything planted on it will grow at a rate many times faster than normal.
Since the world is sustained by the Qi present in the dimensional pocket, it is able to thrive for a long time without risking decay.
The user can choose who enters and who doesn't as well as what enters and what doesn't.
NOTE: The host should keep in mind that the Minor Dimension has a time difference of 100:1 compared to the outside world.

"..."
Ethan didn't even know what expression to make anymore.
He knew this place wouldn't be something simple.
The fact that it existed and that he could enter it at will was already a great advantage for him, but seeing that he could not only bring others in, but that there was also such a significant time difference in it, Ethan was shocked.
The implications of this were too great for him to take lightly.
Ethan didn't even pay attention to the fact that this was a small world, but focused only on the last part.
'A time difference of 100:1.'
'In other words, 1 day outside equals 100 days inside this place?'
The more he thought about it, the more his body trembled with excitement.
Earlier, he had been wondering how to deal with his pill production problem, and seeing the alchemy lab, part of that worry was eased.
But now, seeing this place, even the rest of his worries were blown away.
Not only could he dedicate 100 times the time to production compared to before, but given the fertile land of this place, he could actually grow all the herbs he needed right here.
This had also been another of his concerns.
Although he could obtain herbs thanks to Da Shu's help, the total price he spent on them each week was a figure large enough to make him cry every time he thought about it.
Although he managed to earn just as much money, it was still painful for him to see part of his wealth spent on herbs.
Not to mention, many of the various herbs he used for refining pills could only be bought in limited quantities since many of them grew only in certain seasons, as well as under certain conditions.
If he could successfully plant the seeds of all the herbs he needed in this place, then he could harvest a large amount every day since time flowed 100 times faster here than in the outside world.
He would practically never have a shortage of materials and could also save a large sum of money by doing so.
The more Ethan thought about it, the more his heart beat faster.
This was a huge advantage for his future cultivation.
As they say, time is money.
And now Ethan had time in abundance.
While Ethan was rejoicing as he thought more and more about what else he could do thanks to this place, Bai Yu, who was in Ethan's mind, was equally stunned when she saw him transported to a different place.
'Wait, isn't this...'
'A Minor Dimension?'
