YM778.TV Chapter 413 Spiritual Crystals
After hearing from Lothur what would happen next, most of those 2nd stage cultivators who went to his residence to meet the kart left with plans in mind.
They were mainly busy people, leaders, or pillars of their organization. As such, they were individuals who could not stay there for long and left as soon as they had resolved their most important questions.
Given the small area of that estate, there was no way for them to better understand the kart inside Lothur\'s property. So even if this young man left his vehicle at their disposal, the interest of those people would not keep them there.
Some would stay longer if they were in an area like the hippodrome the day before. But since this was not the case, almost all of them left Lothur and the young people present behind as they departed.
Thus, in the blink of an eye, only Lothur, Viktoria, Annaliese, Elke, and Johann had stayed on that property.
But even Johann would not stay there for long, only having exchanged some information with Lothur, arranged a meeting for the two to settle company matters and left.
"Looks like you got yourself quite a deal, eh?" Annaliese tapped one of Lothur\'s shoulders. "Last night, I thought things were going well. But with these patriarchs coming to you early in the day, it will be a matter of time before you become the biggest influence in the province."
Lothur smiled at his sister-in-law\'s humorous tone. "Most of the powers of the province are in the factions that are enemies of us. So that\'s practically impossible."
Elke sighed and said. "In any case, the Ritter family became relevant overnight and also had considerable funds. So what do you intend to do now?"
"For now, I will just take care of starting the Ritter Motor Company while continuing my routine at the academy and training my professions. These funds I\'ve obtained are good, but besides having to invest in this company, I need to plan before I make expenditures on cultivation and other things..." He was saying, but he remembered that he now had spiritual crystals.
Since he could not use this kind of resource, which was useful in strengthening cultivators\' souls, Lothur planned to let his women use it.
Elke and Annaliese could not use crystals until they reached the 2nd stage. So, for the time being, they could not use the crystals. But Viktoria could immediately cultivate that option.
"But I intend to let you use the crystals I won at this auction to strengthen your souls." He offered, seeing the surprise in the eyes of the three women.
Their families even had crystals, and some of the critical members of their forces made use of them in cultivation. But since these were scarce items and these organizations could not earn many, even prodigies like Viktoria had no easy access to such resources.
To get a sense of reality, Viktoria, the number 1 genius of Peters City, had access to only two spirit crystals a month!
So for these women, Lothur\'s 120 crystals, or 40 each, would be a gift of gigantic proportions.
Spiritual crystals were not just alternative ways to cultivate. Using them was a way to obtain power with great ease. There was almost no risk that using them would destabilize a cultivator\'s cultivation base. And there was no difficulty for someone to transform the energy in one into soul power.
In fact, as long as a cultivator above level 9 was given time, such a person could absorb the full power of a crystal without waste. This power would be fully transformed into points for the Soul attribute, giving its user an almost immediate quantitative increase.
Those three women knew all this and more about spiritual crystals. So they were all aware that these crystals would transform into powers for them in a matter of a few weeks!
"Are you sure about that?" Viktoria questioned her husband. "Isn\'t it better to invest this in your business or save it for the future? You already help Elke and I much more than we can thank you for..." She spoke of Lothur\'s unique ability...
Annaliese blushed a little upon hearing this, as Lothur was greatly benefiting her too.
It was just a shame that Viktoria thought that the improvements in her sister came from consequences concerning the Soul Bone that Annaliese absorbed and also from the God\'s Eye Patch.
He then said. "No, you\'d better use it. I will always risk being robbed if those crystals stay with me."
Crystals were precious because of their scarcity and special effect. So in a world where even prodigies like Viktoria had trouble getting many of these, there would undoubtedly be many cultivators, even 3rd stage ones, who would act for 120 of these items.
As long as no one knew about them, maybe Lothur would be safe. But since people from the hippodrome the day before might have seen something, this silver-haired young man would rather not risk too much.
With Viktoria and those women, it would not be safe either. But if they absorbed those crystals, something that could be done quickly, everything would be fine.
They would no longer have this valuable resource on their hands, and they would gain essential power for their futures!
So even though those crystals were worth a lot, Lothur did not hesitate to offer them!
"With them, you can temporarily improve your cultivation speeds." He finished his words while already handing Viktoria the crystals.
"Oh? All right then." She stored that in her spatial ring, planning to start using that later.
"Annaliese, you should be advancing stages soon, so I\'ll give you your crystals now." He handed 40 crystals in a small cloth pouch to his sister-in-law. "As for you, Elke, I ask you to wait. Then, when you reach the 2nd stage, I will give you these items."
After these words from Lothur, Elke did not think it was unfair. She just nodded and thanked him for his generosity. At the same time, he noted the statuses of these two women.
[Name: Elke Becker]
[Cultivation: level 7]
[STR: 13 -> 14.5]
[CON: 53.3 -> 63]
[DEX: 15.4 -> 16.9]
[AGI: 15.6 -> 17.1]
...
[Name: Annaliese Frost]
[Cultivation: level 9]
[STR: 37.5 -> 38.5]
[CON: 65.5 -> 74]
[DEX: 40.1 -> 41.4]
[AGI: 38.4 -> 39.4]
\'Anna is not far from reaching level 10. So in three or four days, she should be there already... But Elke will take a couple of weeks.\' Lothur considered in silence, knowing that these cultivation speeds of his women were excellent but unimpressed.
He was already used to his own reality, so none of this would attract his attention!
With that settled, Lothur, Elke, and Annaliese said goodbye to Viktoria, with this woman promising that she would go to the academy with them the next day.
The three then rode in a carriage to the Morning Star Academy while some of their observers went to tell their leaders what they had seen.
Lothur was planning something strange, and these powers could not just stand by!
\'Hmm, I feel like I should buy some defensive formations for my house using those coins...\' Lothur sensed that danger was near and pondered over this in silence.
