What the Focusing Crystal amplified was spiritual force...
Although this was a little unexpected, it made Grim ecstatic.
After advancing to rank 4, the limit of his spiritual force had increased to 49 points. At the very least, he did not have to worry about not being able to increase his spiritual force for the next thousand years.
However, the speed at which his spiritual force increased was as slow as a tortoise's!
Even with the help of the A.I. Chip, after many years of arduous meditation, his spiritual force did not even increase by a single point. In the foreseeable future, Grimm would need at least two to three hundred years of hard work to break free from the initial rank 4 stage.
At this point, he finally understood why there were so many Grade 4 Magi in the scattered Tower Forest who were still stuck at the initial stage after so many years. Either their potential had been exhausted, or their meditation technique had lost its effect. Otherwise, they would not have allowed this to continue for so long!
Hence, in a situation where spiritual force was progressing slowly, if he could use an external object to amplify the effects of his spiritual force … Wouldn't that be a form of strengthening?
After realizing this, Grimm immediately started to study the Focusing Crystal.
Firstly, it was not a natural product, but a biological crystal that was naturally produced by the Denizens of the Stars after thousands of years of wandering and evolving. This meant that the Focusing Crystal could only be harvested from the bodies of the Denizens of the Stars and could not be found in the outside world.
Secondly, every Focusing Crystal had its own amplification frequency and frequency.
In other words, the Focusing Crystal that Grimm had obtained had a limit when it came to amplifying spiritual force.
It was taken from the body of an initial rank 3 Denizen of the Stars, so the spiritual force it could amplify was limited to the initial rank 3. If Grimm used this crystal with his rank 4 spiritual force, it would not be a problem to limit his strength to below rank 3. Once the spiritual force exceeded the limit of the crystal, it would instantly shatter.
Hence, if Grimm really wanted the Focusing Crystal to help him, he would have to use all sorts of methods to hunt down rank 4 Denizens of the Stars, and the higher the rank the better.
This was obviously difficult to achieve!
Ever since he discovered the limits of the Focusing Crystal, Grimm's emotions had been on a rollercoaster, going through ups and downs. He was first ecstatic, then disappointed, and finally a little unwilling …
Could it be that this Focusing Crystal could only be used on rank 3 Magi?
With a heart full of unwillingness, Grimm gave the A.I. Chip an order.
"A.I. Chip, search for a way to strengthen this crystal … Also, search if there are any other Magi who have discovered the special uses of this Focusing Crystal."
[Beep. Mission established, searching for data …]
[Beep. The Focusing Crystal can amplify spiritual force. There are records in the Magus books. However, according to the records, Magi cannot directly use this ability …]
[Beep.]
"Crystal About the Focusing Crystal, the Focusing Crystal Crystal." Focusing on the Focusing Crystal crystal crystal crystal, "Focusing on Grimm," Focusing on Focusing Crystal Crystal crystal crystal crystal.
"Are you saying that I only succeeded last time because you changed my mental waveband and frequency to overlap with the natural frequency of the crystal? That's why I succeeded?"
"Chip!
Looking Grimm, he, Mag Magic Crystal crystal crystal crystal, to., Magic, Focusing. Grimm. by, Grimm. After all, not every Magus could be like Grimm. With the help of the A.I. Chip, he could adjust and change his spiritual force frequency at will.
If he were to spread the word that he was going to collect these crystals, he might be able to exchange for one or two suitable Focusing Crystals from those powerful Magi.
He might not be able to kill the rank 4 Denizens of the Stars, but that did not mean that the great Magi could not.
The Focusing Crystals would not be of much use to them anyway. If he could exchange them for some useful resources, they would be more than happy to do so.
However, if such news were to be released, it would easily cause him some unnecessary trouble.
Those powerful Magi were not fools. If they found out that he could not wait to collect the Focusing Crystals, they would naturally think that he had a way to use them. If that happened, some great Magi would come knocking on his door, and he would be in deep trouble!
Thinking of this, Grimm hesitated for a moment before contacting Magus Martin.
A moment later, he received a reply.
"Grimm, your portion has been prepared. I'll send someone to deliver it to you now …"
"Don't worry, Martin. I'll give my portion to you, but I would like you to help me put up a mission to purchase it. "
"What do you want to purchase?"
"I want to purchase one of the light blue crystals from the bodies of the rank 4 Denizens of the Stars. The higher the quality, the better!"
"Oh, you've noticed the strange effects of those crystals, right? Let me tell you, those things are only suitable for the Denizens of the Stars. Us Magi cannot use them. Collecting them is a waste of resources … "
"Help me out! I feel that there's some sort of secret hidden within them. I need a high-grade one to experiment on. "
"That's fine. However, while they are not suitable for Magi, they are still considered rank 4 items. The price you'll have to pay is not small. Also, only the great Magi have rank 4 crystals. If you use magic crystals to purchase them, they won't even look at you. In Exodar Camp, most of the rank 4 and above items can be exchanged with other items … If you can't take out something that they're interested in, it will be difficult to obtain a rank 4 crystal! "
A rank 4 item … Something that even the great Magi would be interested in!
Grimm pondered for a while before finally speaking.
"I have a complete skeleton of a rank 4 Holy Knight from another world …"
"The skeleton of a rank 4 Holy Knight? That's not worth much, at least in the eyes of the great Magi. The great Magi have killed many rank 4 creatures. If your Holy Knight is alive, the great Magi might be interested, but if it's just a skeleton, hehe … "
"I have some powerful magic essences with me!"
"Powerful magic essences can only be considered a rank 3 item …"
"The materials used to make them are a little special. After consuming a certain amount, even a normal person will have an affinity with the elements …"
"What? How is that possible? Has the effect been verified? "
"Without a doubt!"
"… …"
As if this news was a little shocking, Magus Martin only replied after a long time.
"Grimm, I've already spread the news. There's a great Magus who wants to talk to you. I … "Before Martin could finish his sentence, his message was interrupted by a strange voice.
From the sound of it, it seemed to be Magus Sines.
"Little fellow, why did I hear from Martin that you have some strange things in your hands? Can those powerful magic essences really bestow mana to normal people? "
"Yes, Lord Sines. The method I used to refine these powerful magic essences is a little different from other Magi, so it has a unique effect. If a normal person eats it for 10 days, 50 grams a day, they will have an affinity with the elements. "
"Good … Good … Good … That's great …" On the other side of the message, Magus Sines was so happy that he started to speak incoherently, "Tell me, how do you want to trade for these powerful magic essences? I'll give you 5 million magic essences. That should be enough, right? "
"Uh … Lord Sines, I actually want to use them to buy a suitable crystal from the Denizens of the Stars!"
"Why do you want to collect those things? Many Magi have already tried, but those crystals have already been solidified by the Denizens of the Stars. Other than them, no Magus can use them … "
"I want to study the principles behind its transformation and see if I can use artificial methods to cultivate some Focusing Crystals."
"Hmph, I don't care what you want to do with them. Prepare those powerful magic essences for me, I'll be back in a jiffy. I know very well which of those old fellows in Exodar's camp have those Focusing Crystals. If I find out that those magic essences don't have the effects you said after the trade, you'll be in big trouble, kid … "
After the great Magus Sines cut off the connection, Martin's voice once again entered Grimm's ears.
"Congratulations, Grimm. You've found a good buyer for your goods! "
"Why is Lord Sines in such a hurry to obtain these powerful magic essences? Could it be … "
"Hehe, that goes without saying. Lord Sines has already left the Magus World for 1300 years, and the bloodline he left behind in the scattered Tower Forest has already declined to the point of no return. Although the scattered Pagoda Forest Association is taking care of his descendants, there hasn't been a single Sorcerer among his descendants in the past 300 years. "
"Based on this trend, if no Magi are born in another 100 years, the status of this Magus family will be revoked, and they will become ordinary nobles in the secular world. Lord Sines has resources and magic crystals, but there isn't even a single acolyte in the family. Do you think he's not in a hurry? "
Grimm could not help but suck in a breath of cold air.
This was the truth behind the rise and fall of many Magus families in the Magus World.
Although there was a great Magus' ancestor 'taking care of the family, the development of the family in all aspects would not be too bad. However, the continuation of the family's bloodline would degenerate with the passage of time, until it became an ordinary family again.
The phenomenon of the bloodline weakening and degenerating was also a problem that had no solution!
After all, the birth rate of Magi would rapidly decrease as their rank increased.
Regardless of whether it was a male or female Magus, an overly strong life force was very disadvantageous to the birth of future generations.
If one side was too weak, then the terrifying radiation from the other's life essence would be enough to kill all the fertilized eggs that did not meet the requirements. If both sides were very strong, then the life essence itself would inherit the strength of their bodies. It was very easy to treat the other side's life essence as an enemy, and then start a life and death struggle for control of the life essence.
These instincts were obviously not controlled by the Magus themselves!
