Death… And Me

Chapter 1171 - Glittering Crystal

Just a moment later, a fairy not much bigger than the fairies guarding the entrance came out in a rush. ”Whereʼs 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 wasnʼt 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 queenʼs 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 didnʼt need anything.”

Rean then rubbed the back of his head before saying, ”Well, the fact is that we already got everything we needed. Itʼs 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, thatʼs 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, ʼWell, they do seem to have Core Elder Etherianʼs support, so I guess they donʼt really need hers...? Perhaps?ʼ

Tulipa was also surprised to hear that. ”Nothing? Nothing at all? No can do! I canʼt accept this Glittering Coin without repaying the favor. Even if you donʼt want anything, Iʼll do something for you. Letʼs see... how about some extra luck from karma? Yes, thatʼs 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 couldnʼt touch the twinsʼ threads at all! In fact, it was the same thing for Rana, who tried to move their karma. Simply put, she also couldnʼt do it. Tulipa tried a few more times, but it simply didnʼt work. ”Whatʼs happening here?”

Rean and Roan looked at Tulipa, puzzled. ”Happening what?”

Seeing the clueless expressions on the twinsʼ faces, it was obvious that they didnʼt know anything about this issue. ʼMaybe this is why the queen sent them to me. Since she couldnʼt change their karma herself, she decided to help them more directly by sending them to me. But they donʼt know about the karma issue as it seems. I shall do the same thing as the queen, then.ʼ

Tulipa then shook her head at the twins and said, ”Donʼt worry, itʼs not an issue.” It wasnʼt a lie. Even if she couldnʼt change their karma, it wasnʼt as if it was a problem, so Roan also didnʼt detect any lies. ”Letʼs 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 didnʼt 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 didnʼt 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 fairiesʼ 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, itʼs 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. Itʼs very hard to make as it has to account for any race that will use it. Itʼs just that it isnʼt 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 wonʼt 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 didnʼt mind it as he knew it was the best choice.. ”I shall make good use of it in the future if thereʼs a need for it.”
