Chapter 3, Cryptocrystalline

Earth-level five stars? If this thing is spread, it will inevitably cause a huge uproar. As long as someone knows, then Chang Shu will only have the fate of being reduced to bones.

Certainly, such exquisite hidden crystals would be rare even in the palace, let alone in the current Changshu... He has not even had the opportunity to come into contact with them at all

Magic accessories of the same high grade are rare and hard to come by for a novice magic sculptor. Not only are the advanced magic arrays carved upon them treasures that are extremely valuable and difficult to behold, but more importantly, the magic sculptor's concentration is highly focused when crafting a piece. The stronger the mental power of the magic sculptor, the more intricate the carved arrays will be, and the greater their power. For a novice, having the opportunity to examine such a treasure closely would have a profoundly far-reaching impact on their future path in magic sculpting.

Chang Shu is well aware of what this thing means to him at present

The battle yesterday was truly spectacular

In a world that values martial prowess, it is no wonder that a child like Chang Shu would harbor such fantasies

At present, I still do not know the whereabouts of my mother, nor do I understand the true nature of this pendant. Furthermore, my father, the man named Chang Yin, remains an enigma regarding his identity. However, suddenly possessing a precious treasure has temporarily pushed all other thoughts aside in Chang Shu's mind

When Chang Shu arrived at school, the sun had just risen. Last night, he had unknowingly fallen asleep in bed, still dressed, and his sleeping posture was not correct. However, he felt quite energetic, showing no signs of the usual grogginess that one experiences right after waking up.

Earth-level five stars ... ? ... What kind of concept is this

The items that were originally on the coffee table were pushed aside in disarray, and the things were placed on the coffee table. After opening the package, the contents inside were revealed

He opened his bleary eyes and, after a moment, suddenly sat up straight, anxiously looking around. When he saw the ugly sphere lying quietly not far from him, he finally let out a sigh of relief

When everything was completed, Chang Shu's forehead was already covered in sweat, glistening under the light of the lamp

At this moment, the academy is already quite lively, with students coming and going like waves, exuding a great deal of vitality

Alas, she is not only beautiful but also exceptionally capable... Whoever marries her in the future will truly be fortunate

This cannot be considered a skilled craft. Chang Shu's original intention was to rely on the energy-absorbing properties of the hidden crystal to completely envelop the pendant, preventing any potential fatal accidents caused by energy diffusion, and naturally, he could not care less about the pendant's aesthetics. In just a moment, the originally exquisite pendant, which emitted a faint, strange luster resembling purple-golden tassels, was transformed by Chang Shu into an ugly sphere that appeared uneven and dull, likely to be kicked aside by anyone who might see it on the street.

Indeed... I never expected that Feng Xueqing has already reached the level of a four-star warrior... It is truly astonishing. This time, she will surely have a share of the guaranteed admission quota, right

The liquid that is subsequently dripped is a type of "modulator," which essentially functions to lower the melting point of a substance without altering its inherent characteristics, allowing it to be shaped into the desired form by the magic sculptor. Of course, since there are "characteristics," this "modulator" is naturally not omnipotent. After all, many materials possess inherent qualities such as heat resistance or hardness. In the face of such materials, this elementary modulator is naturally ineffective. After all, many materials possess inherent qualities such as heat resistance or hardness.

After firmly telling himself this sentence, he finally left the house—regardless of whether his mother was still there, his life had to go on

Unknowingly, fatigue crept in... Chang Shu fell into a deep sleep, carrying her fantasies with her...

Only after he was certain that the patterns had been completely enveloped by the microcrystals did he let out a long sigh of relief and lean back against the bed However, in just a short time, his back was already soaked

As his gaze swept across the room, upon seeing the food and drink laid out on the central table, he couldn't help but pause for a moment, and then a hint of disappointment washed over his face—he had expected a celebration, but instead, it turned out to be a farewell.

Mother, I will definitely live well and I will surely find you!

After a considerable amount of time had passed, Chang Shu suddenly came to his senses. He quickly turned around and hurried to his room, where he rummaged through a pile of items in the corner with great speed. He hastily packed them together and then rushed to the door, not bothering to check if anyone was outside. He forcefully closed the door and secured it with a bolt before returning to the coffee table.

His hands could not help but tremble slightly as he found a pair of pliers from beneath the black cloth, grasping a piece of gray, transparent crystalline substance. He then carefully placed it into a metal container resembling a spoon. Next, he found a small gray bottle among the various jars and bottles nearby, opened it, and cautiously dripped a few drops of a transparent liquid that looked like water but was much more viscous than water into the spoon. He then placed the spoon on a fixed stand and carefully moved it beneath the lamp. He again found a small gray bottle among the nearby jars and bottles, opened it, and cautiously dripped a few drops of a transparent liquid that looked like water but was much more viscous than water into the spoon. He then placed the spoon on a fixed stand and carefully moved it beneath the lamp.

The sky is clear, and the sun has already peeked over the mountain top. It is early autumn, and the wind feels somewhat chilly

A series of discussions reached Chang Shu's ears, causing him to feel a slight surprise. ... Immediately, a trace of envy flickered across his dark eyes ... . ... A four-star martial artist, for someone of their age group, is indeed a remarkable powerhouse.

The object placed in the spoon is called Hidden Crystal, which is one of the materials for reprocessing magical accessories. Hidden Crystal has good energy absorption properties and is typically used in the production of defensive devices. A fine layer of Hidden Crystal is intricately applied to the surface of defensive devices, not only enhancing their depth and aesthetic appeal but also providing an additional effect of energy absorption. Of course, the Hidden Crystal in Chang Shu's hand can only be considered low-grade. Its effects are very limited, merely capable of absorbing some energy without any energy storage capability. The truly exceptional Hidden Crystals are not only many times more dazzling than this gray crystal in appearance but also possess extremely strong energy absorption effects, along with the ability to gather and store energy. Many high-grade items are even entirely carved from Hidden Crystal, complemented by powerful formations, resulting in formidable power that is beyond what Chang Shu can currently imagine.

The substandard hidden crystals and the elementary modulators were purchased after a long period of saving money. Generally, he does not need them, but he wanted to conduct some research, which is why he kept them for such a long time. Unexpectedly, they came in handy today

The next morning, when the sounds of roosters crowing and dogs barking came from outside, Chang Shu also woke up from his dreams

Only after the bracket was securely fixed did he pick up the pendant again. His eyes were fixed on the heating spoon, gently tracing the patterns on the pendant.

However, Chang Shu currently has no inclination to refer to any formations ... ? ... What kind of power do earth-grade items possess ... ? Those with formidable strength can sense the aura emitted by earth-grade artifacts from a great distance ... ... Chang Shu does not know how his mother stored them in the past, but at least he currently has no way to conceal the aura emitted by these earth-grade items of five stars or above without making any preparations.

Inside, there were some metal objects and various bottles and jars placed in a disordered manner. After he rummaged through them haphazardly, he made an effort to organize his hurried breathing.

There is no need to say more, she is now the top expert in our academy!

Although he is mature, he is still just a 17-year-old child. Now, he has begun to imagine what it would be like when one day his strength is sufficient to wield this precious treasure and look down upon the world.

Magical accessories are generally divided into three grades from high to low, namely Heaven, Earth, and Man. Each grade is further subdivided into ten star levels. The appearance of the 'Purple Gold Magic Pattern' signifies that the grade of the magical accessory in his hand is Earth grade! Moreover, only magical artifacts of at least Earth grade five stars or above are likely to exhibit the 'Purple Gold Magic Pattern' resembling a tassel!

It is important to note that the three national protective artifacts of the Huaxing Kingdom are merely of the Earth Grade, ranked at three stars

Chang Shu's hands began to tremble slightly, and beads of sweat had formed on the tip of his nose. At this moment, he no longer had the inclination to ponder why such an object had appeared in his home. ... As a relic of his father, what kind of story lay behind this object ... ! ... What he wanted to do now was to securely hide this object away!

Looking at the hideously deformed sphere in his hand, Chang Shu was momentarily lost in thought, but after a long while, a look of joy emerged on his face

Exactly, exactly ... ...

After a moment of silence, Chang Shu took a deep breath and clenched his five fingers tightly

Chang Shu eagerly placed the pendant on the table, then rummaged through a nearby black cloth to find a small brush. After carelessly stirring the already neat bristles a few times to shake off the dust, he dipped it into a spoon, picking up some translucent liquid, and then carefully began to apply it to the pendant.

Amidst a sense of urgency and impatience, the hidden crystals in the spoon gradually melted. Moments later, they transformed into a gray, viscous liquid filling more than half the spoon. The liquid emitted a faint blue smoke, and just by looking at it, one could tell that its temperature was certainly quite high

Picking up the somewhat cold sphere, Chang Shu slightly furrowed her brow. After a moment of thought, she jumped off the bed and searched around for a piece of cloth. Then, she carefully wrapped the originally red string around it. Only after securely wrapping it did she hang the pendant around her neck, gently placing it against her chest. After considering it for a moment, she used the string from her underwear to carefully tie it tightly, securing it around her neck. She looked at herself in the mirror for a while, and after confirming that nothing was visible from the outside, she finally sighed in relief and settled down.
