I Only Wanted A Class In The Apocalypse

1016 The Spiritual Crystal



“This… Isn’t lord aware of how valuable these legendary fruits are?!!” and as if what I revealed shocked him, he couldn’t help but frown for a few moments, before taking the two gems again and extending his big hand over to me.

“I can’t… I can’t take advantage of lord’s not knowing about these gems,” he said, and I had to push his hand back.

“Dude, I got enough from these,” I lied, “but I need to understand their value. A big deal is going underway and few folks are asking for these gems at a low price.”

“This… This is a daylight steal!!” I had to lie and give him such an excuse so he’d close the page of returning these two gems over to me.

“That’s why I need your help here. All I know about these is that they are produced by absorbing death energy and can replenish any lost strength.”

“Lord… Is the lord aware of how cultivation works?”

“It’s by absorbing the natural spiritual energy from the world and storing it inside the meridians and dantian,” this was my current understanding of how cultivation worked.

“Well… In general that can be true. But the spiritual energy we absorb is getting refined through our dantians. The meridians act like veins, and dantian is like hearts… And here comes the true value of these legendary fruits.”

“As they do… What?”

“They work to refine the dantian and meridians, make dantians more effective in working their magic over the absorbed spiritual energy. They also will turn the meridians more spacious, making them able to store much more energy, allowing us to absorb more.”

“So in theory, they can’t restore the lost bases or repair the damage caused by what I did…”

“Lord, they can’t restore anything, but surely they can heal any damage,” he paused before adding in a serious tone, “and the results brought by a single one of these are enough to make any cultivator crave for these, and place them in a very high regard.”

“How so?” If they can’t restore bases or even add more, then why would anyone want them?

“Because they can shorten the time of our cultivation. If we needed a year to just jump a small base higher, then with these we can cut time into half. And not only that, give anyone without cultivation one of these and he will step into the cultivation world instantly!”

“What?!!!”

“That’s how magical these legendary fruits are,” he laughed, “and that’s why we all crave to get these. But lord… In our universe… The presence of such fruits is almost non-existent.”

“This… Are you saying that they are priceless?”

“Even the strongest leaders of us won’t find these fruits this easily, and that means they are more than just priceless.”

Well… Just the effect of allowing anyone to step into the cultivation path was enough to turn these gems into legendary stuff in my eyes.

I needed to test such a theory. And if it was proven to be right, then things would be much different from now on.

I got only these gems back from my necromancer world. What about the leaves? Seeds? Flowers? Water? What about the world itself?

If all had such magical effects, then I swore I’d empty this world and others empty from their products.

I’d turn not only a few tens of thousands, but millions and tens of millions even into cultivators.

“Lord can’t just sell them cheap. It’s an insult, not just a waste!”

“I got it,” I knew I had now a wild card, one that I should properly use.

I got my bones, got these awesome gems and other products from my necromancer world… All of these were priceless and held great value to me and others.

But I also was terribly weak and lacking tons of stuff. So at some point, I’d have to accept such losses and do trades, like the ones going on with Silverlining.

I wasn’t in the situation to select and refuse to not continue doing such trades. I wasn’t in the position of keeping my treasures and good stuff for myself alone.

And yet… That also didn’t mean I’d settle with just any offer like a stray dog!

“Thanks,” I said in gratitude, “now can you tell me more about how your people cultivate?”

“I… I have a question to ask the lord first… How did you get our power? Are you perhaps related to us?”

“Well… It came as a coincidence.”

“Luck is also one form of power… Interesting indeed,” he kept nodding and muttering to himself for a few minutes before he finally made up his mind. “I’ll teach lord our ways. After all, it’s an honour that our mighty saviour and lord belongs to my clan, hahahaha! I just want to see the faces of other clans when they get to hear this, hahahaha!”

“I’m glad you are excited about this, however I do lack in everything,” I was excited that he agreed to tell and teach me his clan’s secrets.

I was worried he’d be too damn loyal to his clan and refuse to tell me secrets even if the price was his head!

“First I gotta test the purity of the lord’s base,” and as I was lost in thoughts, he said this weird stuff.

“What do you mean?”

“Well, everyone isn’t the same. And the main difference lies in the purity of one’s cultivation base. It’s a complicated concept, but there is a simple technique to test it,” he got out a small crystal and handed it over to me.

It was small enough to fit my hand perfectly fine. A pure white crystal that seemed like a normal rock. It was transparent, and I didn’t feel anything special about it.

“What is this?”

“It’s called spiritual crystal, something common in our universe,” he said before explaining, “I want the Lord to do two things here. First drop a blood drop over it, then wait for a minute and then start to ingest it with your spiritual energy.”

“And?”

“I’ll explain when things happen,” he calmly smiled, giving me such an answer which wasn’t. It seemed this matter was too complicated, and I wasn’t looking for any headache.
