Chapter 57: The Mundus Crystal

“Hey fella come here We have the results of the stone’s inspection”

“Excellent”

Situated in the Skyfire Underground, the library stood as it always had The Keeper sat upon his rattan deck chair with his fingers playing over the clay teapot in his hands He looked at ease

Lan Jue had co Zhou Qianlin to the base of her mountain-top home It had been a full day, one that had filled him with a sense of content to think today was indeed his lucky day

“What was the result?” Lan Jue stuffed his hands in his pockets and moved to the Keeper’s side

The Keeper shut his eyes for athat if you found the vein this coinable fortune”

“Oh?” Lan Jue’s eyes lit up “What did you discover?” For the Keeper to even start with this sort of evaluation, he nificant

The Keeper continued “I wont go through the entire analytical process, you wouldn’t understand anyway”

Lan Jue smiled as his elderly counterpart went on “As for the results, we did discover that were this ore to be refined, it would create a particularly special crystal The crystal’s capabilities would be immense, and beyond that it would be possessed of a truly astonishi+ng peculiarity in energy transfories injected in to the stone will have its iy in it’s purest fory If you were to incorporate it with some sort of procedural structure, you could create an astounding energy purification systey it exudes could be used in any form of modern scientific pursuit”

“What about conversion speed and power grade,” Lan Jue inquired

“Conversion is exceptionally fast,” the old e a tenth-class h em like this has ever been recorded It is quintuple the capabilities of the closest equivalent gem It had to be recorded, so I called it the Mundus Crystal Were we able to find a suitable means to develop this, it would catapult huy in to a new era”

Even Lan Jue’s trade the Keeper’s explanation It took all he had not to gape like a moron

“However,” The Keeper proceeded despite Lan Jue’s stupefaction, “y isn’t without it’s dangers Converting energy at it’s quickest rate gradually causes the geh my experimentations I’ve determined that were this stone of yours refined in to a Mundus Crystal it would enervate a top-level ed, and rendered useless As a result I thought it cannot be classified as an A-level stone – a C at best, though of course a very special C The analysis shows it’s stored energies aren’t any different from a normal A-ranked stone It has no capability of self-repair or other function – simply it’s one special quality”

Lan Jue was not disappointed by the Keeper’s designation of C-rank On the contrary the fire in his eyes only grew as the old scientist went on He had no shortage of stones to cothen attack or harden defenses But this stone, with it’s ability to restore energy so quickly, was so he needed

“Another interesting aspect we uncovered, however, is the energy it produces is pure enough that even our Disciplines can absorb and assiraded to a B Regrettably the sheer enorree Talents or higher would be capable of using it Otherwise it would likely be A-ranked”
