Lu Ning ran his hand across the spatial bracelet, and the next moment, pale crystals appeared in his hand.
These crystals were obtained by Lu Ning while casually killing monsters along the way, and Yan Bing and the others also had some.
However, because they were in a hurry to get somewhere and didn't deliberately seek out monsters to kill, he didn't have many crystals, only a few dozen.
However, it should be enough for conducting experiments.
Lu Ning did not rush to use the Pale Crystal, but sat down to recover his mental energy.
He planned to wait until his mental strength recovered, then use it to pry open the Tower of Ruins, and in conjunction with the power within the pale crystal, attempt to materialize a high-risk soul weapon once more.
Lu Ning now understands.
The reason why pale crystals can be exchanged for all sorts of items is because they contain a rich spiritual energy.
Of course, this is not ordinary spiritual power; otherwise, it could be exchanged for in the Tower of Ruins using Soul Crystals.
However, the truth is that Soul Crystals don't work.
Having been in the Land of Ruins for so long, the exiles have naturally already tried to find that, apart from this pale crystal, no other items with spiritual power can be exchanged.
Lu Ning and Ya En had been puzzled before, but now Lu Ning understood.
The spiritual energy inside the pale crystal was not ordinary spiritual energy, but rather the same pale spiritual energy as that in his current spiritual sea.
This spiritual power is probably special; only this kind of special spiritual power can be used to exchange items within the Tower of Ruins.
However, by using his own mental power to manipulate the Tower of Return to Nothingness, Lu Ning can significantly reduce the amount of mental power he can exchange.
Therefore, while exchanging for a high-risk soul weapon would likely require an astronomical amount of Pale Crystals for a normal exile, it shouldn't be a significant amount for Lu Ning.
As time passed, Lu Ning's mental strength recovered quickly, and he was fully recovered in no time.
When Lu Ning's mental strength was fully restored, he stood up, a look of anticipation appearing in his eyes.
Then, he began to use his spiritual power again, his pale spiritual power flowing, and began to pry open the power of the Tower of Ruins.
It is still manifesting a high-risk soul weapon of the Light element.
As before, when the ball of light appeared in front of Lu Ning, Lu Ning's mental energy decreased at a visible rate.
At this time, Lu Ning began to use the Pale Crystal.
Instantly, the pale crystal shattered, turning into wisps of pale mist.
The mist drifted in the air for a moment before being absorbed by the Tower of Ruins.
With the use of the Pale Crystal, Lu Ning clearly felt that his mental energy consumption had slowed down considerably.
As each pale crystal was consumed, the light grew stronger, and the process of manifestation proceeded smoothly.
However, Lu Ning soon frowned.
The pale crystal in his hand was already more than half gone, and so was the mental energy in his mind.
Even so, the high-risk soul weapon still did not manifest a physical form.
It doesn't even have a physical shape yet, so it's probably still a long way off before it can be fully realized.
It seems these dozens of pale crystals still can't materialize a high-risk soul weapon.
However, Lu Ning had already guessed this beforehand, so he was not disappointed.
Lu Ning began the next experiment.
The thought flashed through his mind: "Modify the manifested soul weapon and help me manifest a mid-risk light-type soul weapon."
Yes, Lu Ning plans to see if he can change what he wants to materialize during the materialization process.
If that doesn't work, then all these pale crystals will be wasted.
After all, if the realization fails, the Pale Crystal won't be returned to you.
As Lu Ning's thoughts shifted, the golden sphere in front of him rippled and then grew larger at a visible speed.
When the golden sphere grew to the size of a human head, the light disappeared, revealing the golden liquid inside.
The golden liquid flowed and began to change shape, and in a short while, it transformed into a pair of exquisitely carved golden bracelets.
Lu Ning could clearly feel the sacred power of light emanating from the bracelet.
The white mist above indicates that these bracelets are mid-level soul artifacts.
However, this bracelet is much more spiritually polluted than the previous bone spear, and it is approaching the level of a high-risk soul weapon.
Clearly, the spiritual energy consumed within the pale crystals was not wasted, and the manifested soul weapon is stronger than ordinary ones.
Lu Ning put the bracelet away, but some pale crystal remained in her hand.
Since the manifested target has become a mid-level soul weapon, the pale spiritual power consumed previously was sufficient, so there was no need to consume pale crystals again. Therefore, these pale crystals were left behind.
Lu Ning put away the bone spear and bracelet, and then tried to exchange them for some other items.
For example, the braised pork belly. Lu Ning took a bite and found it delicious.
For example, things like mobile phones and computers.
Anything Lu Ning desires can be redeemed.
However, the more powerful the item, the more mental energy is required to exchange for it.
Some everyday items, because they don't have much power, consume relatively little mental energy.
In the end, Lu Ning exchanged for several more portions of braised pork, hot pot sets, and other ingredients, which he then put into his spatial bracelet.
Otherwise, if we leave here, we won't have anywhere to eat.
After finishing the attempt, Lu Ning turned around and walked away.
There was a large door behind them, which was also covered by a pale light curtain, clearly the exit.
Lu Ning passed through the pale light curtain once again. This time, he was not covered by the light, but left the Tower of Return to Nothingness directly.
As the scenery changed, Lu Ning found himself in the plaza outside the Tower of Return to Nothingness, surrounded by exiles, a bustling and crowded scene.
As soon as Lu Ning left the gate, he heard Ya En's voice: "Lu Ning!"
Lu Ning was just looking for them when he turned around and saw Ya En and the others walking over.
However, the way they looked at Lu Ning was somewhat strange.
Lu Ning noticed their strange looks and felt somewhat confused.
Before he could ask, Yan Bing blurted out, "Why did it take you so long to come out?"
Lu Ning was taken aback and asked, somewhat confused, "Have I been inside for a long time?"
Osiris nodded: "Yes, they've been inside for about two days, haven't they?"
"It's been that long?"
Lu Ning was somewhat surprised; he felt that he hadn't been inside to try and exchange anything for very long.
Then it dawned on Lu Ning that the time consumed in that pale light when he went in was the time spent inside.
Seeing that Lu Ning was also surprised, Yan Bing and the others exchanged glances, all looking somewhat strange.
Ya'en frowned and asked, "Lu Ning, you don't know either? But the time inside the Tower of Ruins is the same as the time outside, right? We all came out not long after we went in."
At this moment, Yan Bing seemed to remember something, a glint of light flashing in her eyes as she looked at Lu Ning, and asked, "Have you made any discoveries? Or gained anything?"
Ya'en and the others were taken aback and looked at Lu Ning.
What discoveries or gains can one make in the Tower of Ruins?
They don't quite understand.
Lu Ning nodded: "Yes, a little. Let's go back first and talk about it then."
Ya'en and the others exchanged glances and nodded.
"Then let's go back first."
