Chapter 350: The crystal’s use
Translator: Misty Cloud Translations Editor: Misty Cloud Translations
Sima You Yue looked at the ground that had been shattered, and subconsciously gulped.
“Yue Yue, is this okay?” Ling Long asked.
Sima You Yue walked over and squatted beside the soil. This soil had been pounded into dust.
“It’s fine now.”
She squatted down and stretched forth a hand to feel it, then took out something to keep it away.
Ling Long changed back into a tool spirit, then sat down on her shoulders, asking, “Yue Yue what are you taking it for?”
“This soil is harder than the average stone. I’ll keep it away and ask Fatty if he needs it when I’m back. I feel that this soil is really above average.” Sima You Yue replied.
Mo Sha, who was observing from the side, didn’t think that Sima You Yue would be that sharp. This soil that had been changed by the Devil’s crystal stone was indeed a very rare ingredient for Armament Masters.
Sima You Yue kept all the soil away, and a ten metres square that was about two meters deep appeared. In the middle of it, was a 50 centimetre tall black crystal that was diamond-shaped.
“This is a devil’s crystal stone? It’s huge!” Sima You Yue patted away the dirt that remained on the devil’s crystal stone to reveal what it originally looked like.
Mo Sha never expected that it would be such a large piece of devil’s crystal stone as well. In the past, the biggest one he saw was around the size of a person’s head. However, this one was twice the size of that one.
“Mo Sha, just what is this item used for?” Sima You Yue asked.
‘The devil’s crystal stone isn’t too useful to others, but for a person from the devil’s realm, it’s even rarer than your rare crystals.” Mo Sha said.
“What’s a crystal? What use does it have?”
Mo Sha thought about how this continent didn’t have a single crystal, and it was rare that he was in a good mood, so he explained, “In the primordial lands, the cultivation techniques of those people were quite different from yours. They absorb spiritual power, not spiritual qi. They could obtain the spiritual power they desired from those crystals. It’s a lot quicker than you guys who absorb just a little bit of spiritual qi.”
“Absorbing crystals?” Sima You Yue blinked in confusion, as if she couldn’t even picture what that would be like.
“In the primordial lands, only the average citizen would trade in gold. Spiritual Masters normally use crystals for trade. The higher grade it is, the bigger its value. There were some who didn’t even use crystals to trade for items, but just absorbed the spiritual power inside to strengthen themselves.” Mo Sha said, “Those rare crystals have so much power that it scares people. A little bit of it is thousands upon thousands times better than an average crystal.”
“The devil’s crystal stone is a rare crystal. It’s just that it can only be used by a denizen from the devil’s realm?” Sima You Yue understood.
‘That’s right.” Mo Sha nodded, “Once I fuse back with my physical body, I will need a large amount of devil power. This devil’s crystal stone just happens to make up for that.”
“That- when you fuse back, will my senior brother disappear?” Sima You Yue asked with a tinge of worry.
Although Wu Lingyu was no one special, he was still her senior brother. Seeing how Old Man Devil took such good care of him, he would be extremely sad if he were to disappear from this world.
Mo Sha suddenly felt unrest in his heart. His expression chilled as he asked, “You care about him that much?”
“He’s my senior brother at the very least.” Sima You Yue didn’t know why Mo Sha would suddenly become angry.
“Then why don’t you care whether or not I will disappear?” Mo Sha was dissatisfied. Even though the other half was his soul as well, seeing that she cared only for Wu Lingyu and not himself, it made him want to exterminate the other half of his soul in Wu Lingyu.
“Worried about you?” Sima You Yue looked at Mo Sha, saying, “You’re so strong, do I need to worry about you? Senior Brother’s soul is really weak. Since yours is so strong, the one who will lose out won’t be you for sure.”
“You believe in me that much?” Hearing her explanation soothed him somewhat.
“Of course.” Sima You Yue nodded without thinking.
Mo Sha brightened up considerably, saying, “We’re fusing, not taking over each other. You can relax.”
“Oh.” Sima You Yue replied.
Why did this guy’s mood change faster than a woman’s?
“Someone’s coming.” Mo Sha used his black mist to keep the devil’s crystal stone and took it into the devil’s snare bracelet with him.
Shortly after, a group of people flew over from far away.
“Young Master Sima, are you okay?” Guo Pei Pei stood on the top of a flying beast and said to Sima You Yue who was standing in the pit.
SIma You Yue lifted up her head and looked at the whole gang who had come over. She waved at them saying, “I’m fine.”
Sima You Le and the others hopped off their flying beasts, looked at her standing in the pit and asked, “Did you find the Devil’s crystal stone?”
Sima You Yue took out a small piece of the Devil’s crystal stone that had been left behind on the ground and said, “Yup, it’s this thing.”
“Such a small piece of stone. Why did you dig such a big hole?” Fatty Qu and the others landed as well. They looked at the black piece of stone in her hand and asked.
“Didn’t I dig it for you?” Sima You Yue asked.
She took out a piece of the morphed soil that hadn’t been ground into dust and said, “See if this thing is useful?”
“Let me see.” Fatty Qu took the soil. The moment he touched it, he knew that it was far from average, “This soul is extremely hard! It’s clearly not stone, but it’s as hard as stone!”
“See if you can break it?” Sima You Yue asked.
“Okay.”
Fatty Qu took out an item and placed the soil in. After that he hit it. However, a few minutes passed by and that soil looked completely undamaged. Even the thing he used to contain the soil had been broken.
Fatty Qu wasn’t sad at all when he saw that his tool had been broken. Instead, his eyes grew large as he said excitedly, “This is something really good!”
Someone from the Guo family saw everything and asked, “What soil is this that it’s actually so hard!”
“The devil’s crystal stone changed the properties of the soil.” Sima You yue said.
Fatty Qu tried again a few more times. He even used his full strength from top to tie, but he had no way of breaking apart that soil.
“You Yue this thing is great, but if it can’t break it apart then it’s useless!” He turned to Sima You Yue and lamented.
“Let me try.” Guo Pei Pei said.
Fatty Qu handed it over to her, then she placed it on a boulder. With Sima You Yue’s reminder, she used her full force.
“Peng-”
That boulder was grounded into dust.
Everyone walked over and Fatty Qu went to the centre of the dust, but everyone saw that unblemished soil.
“Even a spirit paragon’s attack had no effect on it!”
At this point, even Guo Pei Pei was shocked. She took the soil once again and observed it closely. “I’ve seen the material needed for the average arms, but I’ve never seen anything as hard as this. I’ve used all of my power, but it didn’t leave a scratch on this.”
“Ha ha, treasure, treasure!” Fatty Qu said ecstatically. “If i’ve able to infuse spiritual qi into it, I’ll definitely be able to increase its strength!”
“You should first think of a way to grind this into dust. Otherwise, you won’t be able to use it.” Ouyang Fei reminded the overly elated Fatty Qu.
Eh-
“I’ll think of a way eventually!”
Guo Pei Pei looked at the soil in her hands, then turned to Sima You Yue and asked, “Young Master Sima, this soil is extremely hard, so how did you dig it up?”
