Chapter 2454 Pure Soul Crystals
"f.u.c.k!"
I cursed out when I saw the tiny silvery-white crystal brought out from the ground from my string. The crystal is very small, the size of a rice grain, but it shocked me clearly.
It is a pure soul crystal, which is much much rarer and more precious than pure soul water.
I took it in my hand, and my already widened eyes couldn"t help but widen up further; its grade had faintly touched the level of the Grand Lord. If I were to be a little loose with the grading, I might say the crystal is of Grand Lord cla.s.s, and it is very shocking.
This ruin is a Grandmaster cla.s.s ruin, which means all the natural treasures inside it are Grandmaster cla.s.s.
It is extremly hard for any natural treasure to surpa.s.s the limit, but some treasures can do it, and this soul crystal is one of them, considering it had faintly crossed over the limit.
The first crystal was just beginning; a few seconds later, I found another one and then another one.
I continued excavating for more than ten minutes, going much deeper than I had gone when I was excavating under the tree, and by the time I had finished, I had forty-four pure soul crystals, with the biggest one being the size of the pea.
The number of crystals may seem small, but their value is far above the pure soul water I had taken earlier.
I immediately threw twenty crystals into the lake and felt great change appearing in it. The fountain released one heat wave after another, not behind to steam the water of the late but also to melt the crystal; by the time the heatwave stopped, the size of the lake had been reduced by a third, but its purity broke the charts.
It had reached very near to the purity of the pure soul water I had deposited inside, and if the water of the lake couldn"t be purified further, I would have thrown some more crystal in it.
My core could not bear any purer soul water; half of the pure soul crystals I had thrown inside hadn"t melted fully.
If my estimation is right, then these crystals would not completely melt and merge into a lake till I level up to the Master cla.s.s from the leader cla.s.s. When that happens, the purity of soul water will reach equal to the pure soul water I had poured inside, and that only when I reach Master.
I couldn"t help but wonder about the grade of purity I would get when I reached the Grandmaster cla.s.s. When I thought about it, I couldn"t help but a shake up in the excitement.
This ruin is really amazing; I have accomplished so much more than I had imagined, and there are still some things I have to get before I leave this place.
I still had to harvest the other half of the Garden and looked inside the small hour, it had made me very curious, but I bit down my curiosity and moved toward the half of the Garden. I will harvest the resources of the Garden before I target the house.
After that, I will leave this place; I could not stay in this place for more than two days. I am sure the Grimms would send others to see how precious the resources are of this place, especially the tree and the pure soul water, which, unfortunately for them, were taken by me.
Hun!
I had just begun harvesting the resources when I suddenly stopped with a huge surprise in my place.
"It is too easy," I said to myself; earlier, I had concentrated with 75% conscious power to manage thirty strings to harvest resources, and even then, I would feel an immense strain, but now, I am feeling nothing.
Seeing that, I increased my string by ten, making it forty, and harvested the resources for the minute, but there was barely any strain. Seeing that, I increased the strings by twenty and began to gather the resources.
With the sixty strings, I finally begin to feel the strain I was feeling when I had been harvesting the resource earlier.
It shocked me because harvesting resources are not just cutting but carefully harvesting them by applying different sort of methods, and now I am doing it at double speed. It is not just with my strings; even my avatar has become faster, able to do things more efficiently than earlier.
I did not have to think about how it happened; it is clear it was due to pure soul water and a pure soul crystal. The lake is connected to my soul, and more than half of it is generated from my soul, so when I add pure soul water and crystal, the level of water increases, and it benefits my soul directly.
I am ecstatic to receive such benefits; with it, I would be able to do things more efficiently. I know how much I need this huge, especially; the program has increased my responsibilities by tenfold.
It took me two hours and thirty-four minutes to harvest the other half of the Garden, slightly less than half the time I had needed to harvest the other half earlier.
I was able to do it faster not just because of the pure soul water and crystal but also because of the huge drop in the density of the death and metal energy. With the tree disappearing, there is no constant influx of the energies and thus less pressure.
There is still a huge amount of death and metal energies here; every part of this place contains these energies. It might take centuries till people other than the Grandmasters would be able to enter this place.
It is also regretful that batches of plants that will grow here from now will not be as powerful as before. It will also take them longer than usual time to reach the Grandmaster cla.s.s.
In a century or two, when the dense death and metal energy here lessen considerably or disappear, even reaching the Grandmaster cla.s.s for these plants will be difficult.
