Chapter 27: Cruel Fantasy
Xiao Yu continued explaining, “This is a mystical gem that possesses soul power. It is utilized to replenish the loss of spiritual power and your capability to use innate skills. Furthermore, it can repair any equipment and can also be absorbed by your body which can help regain most of your strength.”
“That is to say, after using our skills to their limit. When absorbing the power of the soul gem, can we quickly restore that missing spiritual power, thereby restoring the ability to use our skills once more?”
“You can treat it like a magic potion you heard of in games.” Xiao Yu nodded, “In addition to repairing weapons and restoring spiritual power, soul gems can also be used to recharge most magic items. Such as the Blast Flame Ring. Under normal conditions, this ring needs forty-eight hours to recover its energy, but if it is charged with the power of the Soul Gem, it can greatly shorten its recovery time. However, recharging magic items consumes a lot of energy, so it’s not cost-effective. So unless you absolutely need to, it’s best not to use it too lightly.”
Han Kexin exclaimed: “wow, this small stone actually had so many uses; I think it will probably become our most crucial consumable in the near future!”
“Soul gems are practical consumables. In fact, with future development, soul gems may be used as world currency. This lower soul gem is more than enough to exchange for a piece of a low gray weapon.”
“What, it is that valuable?” Han Kexin opened her eyes wide. In her impression, weapons were very precious, rare treasures. “So, we can get three pieces of gray equipment?”
Xiao Yu did not deny it, “yeah, but obviously, soul gems cannot be used as currency for transactions in the immediate short term. These three soul gems appeared just in time, as our spiritual power consumption is huge. Those soul gems will help us.”
Finally, Xiao Yu grabbed one of the three lower soul gems, Han Kexin took one, and Jiang Xiaowen received the remaining one. The three of them all had a significant amount of energy to refill. They could quickly replenish their consumed spiritual power by extracting power from the soul gems. The lower soul gems were absorbed in a matter of minutes. The three immediately recovered about 30% to 40%, which was enough for Xiao Yu to maintain the “eye of insight” for half an hour and for Han Kexin to use two blood sacrifices. In contrast, Jiang Xiaowen could barely use “Dream dust” once.
Tens of minutes passed as the surrounding burning flames faded away.
