Chapter 1171: Glittering Crystal
Chapter 1171: Glittering Crystal
Just a moment later, a fairy not much bigger than the fairies guarding the entrance came out in a rush. “Where’s the Glittering Coin?!” She looked at Rean, who held the coin in his hands before saying, “Quick, quick, let me see it!”
Rean and Roan looked at each other and nodded before Rean passed the coin to Tulipa. She caressed the coin as if it was a long-lost child, completely ignoring the rest around her. It wasn’t before a few minutes that she finally came back to herself. “Ah!”
She looked at the twins and tried to regain her composure. “Ahem…well done in bringing the queen’s coin to me. It is of extreme importance for fairies like us. Tell me, what is it that you need? I doubt the queen would give it to you if she didn’t need anything.”
Rean then rubbed the back of his head before saying, “Well, the fact is that we already got everything we needed. It’s just that since we had the coin, we thought we might as well pass it to you. And it seems like it was the right choice. Well, that’s about it. We are leaving now.”
Paulo was taken aback. They obtained a chance to get something or some advantage from Tulipa! However, they completely let go of it. Thinking that, he reminded himself, ‘Well, they do seem to have Core Elder Etherian’s support, so I guess they don’t really need hers…? Perhaps?’
Tulipa was also surprised to hear that. “Nothing? Nothing at all? No can do! I can’t accept this Glittering Coin without repaying the favor. Even if you don’t want anything, I’ll do something for you. Let’s see… how about some extra luck from karma? Yes, that’s gonna be it!”
Before Rean and Roan could say anything, Tulipa had already begun using her Divine Energy and Soul Power. Soon after, the karma threads that connected the twins with all the things related to them appeared in her eyes. However, when she tried to move them…
*Ouch!*
She felt like she was electrified. She simply couldn’t touch the twins’ threads at all! In fact, it was the same thing for Rana, who tried to move their karma. Simply put, she also couldn’t do it. Tulipa tried a few more times, but it simply didn’t work. “What’s happening here?”
Rean and Roan looked at Tulipa, puzzled. “Happening what?”
Seeing the clueless expressions on the twins’ faces, it was obvious that they didn’t know anything about this issue. ‘Maybe this is why the queen sent them to me. Since she couldn’t change their karma herself, she decided to help them more directly by sending them to me. But they don’t know about the karma issue as it seems. I shall do the same thing as the queen, then.’
Tulipa then shook her head at the twins and said, “Don’t worry, it’s not an issue.” It wasn’t a lie. Even if she couldn’t change their karma, it wasn’t as if it was a problem, so Roan also didn’t detect any lies. “Let’s leave your karma aside. At first, you were supposed to come to me to get something that you just so happened to get already, right? Can you tell me more about it?”
Rean nodded and then shared everything through a Divine Sense Message to make things faster. Of course, he didn’t mention coming from the Mortal Realm or anything like that.
“I see…” Tulipa understood their situation before looking at Paulo. “Go stay outside. I have a few things to talk about with the twins.”
Paulo bitterly smiled in response, feeling excluded again. He was an elder, for crying out loud! He was the one who had been part of the Sacred Land for many years, not them. However, he knew that he didn’t have the right to complain. “Yes, Elder Tulipa.”
Rean and Roan then moved inside the tree, unsure what Tulipa had to talk about. After a while, Tulipa took out a piece of crystal from her spatial ring and gave it to the twins. It also shone with many colors, as everything that fairies made. “Here, you can have it. That way, my debt to the delivery of the Glittering Coin is paid.”
The twins were even more confused now. “Errrr…what is this thing?” Rean asked, completely clueless.
“What?!” Tulipa was surprised to hear that question. “Have you never heard about the fairies’ Glittering Crystal even though you know my queen?”
The twins immediately shook their heads in response. It was the first time they heard about it.
Tulipa sighed, feeling like it was quite a waste to give it to them. “Whatever…as I said, it’s a Fairy Glittering Crystal. In a certain way, it is similar to the coin you gave me, but it can be used by anyone instead of only fairies. It’s very hard to make as it has to account for any race that will use it. It’s just that it isn’t nearly as powerful.”
Tulipa continued, “Think of it as a pill. Once you swallow it, it will give you a boost of power equivalent to one cultivation realm. You two are at the peak of the Soul Transformation Realm, right? It means your strength would jump to the peak of the Saint Realm. However, the max it can do is increase your power to the peak of the Transition Realm. It won’t allow you to surpass it. Of course, to reach the peak of the Transition Realm with this crystal, you will need to be at the peak of the Elemental Transformation Realm first. It will always give exactly one realm of power.”
Rean and Roan had to admit it was an amazing gift. For them, who could already fight many stages above their real level, this crystal could put them on par with Elemental Transformation Realm cultivators for a short time. “How long does it last?”
“It depends on your cultivation,” Tulipa said in response. “The higher your cultivation, the quicker its power is spent. At your current level, it should last ten minutes.”
Roan then took the crystal and put it inside his spatial ring. After all, he was the strongest when it came to combat power. Rean also didn’t mind it as he knew it was the best choice. “I shall make good use of it in the future if there’s a need for it.”
