Holy shit, we struck gold, everyone!
Ji Jue was instantly overjoyed.
This was an precious material monopolized by the Star Core Association, something that could practically be called universally useful!
Used on the soul, it could restore one's own Spiritual Substance; used on the body, it could accelerate the healing of countless injuries. Those were merely its most basic and crude applications. Its true value lay in refined processing and honed techniques—used in curses, it could purify resentment and malice; used in Alchemy, it was a precious consumable that could accelerate catalysis and reactions throughout every process!
In short, anything that required time could, to some extent, be solved with Time Sand!
Because it was itself a kind of crystallization born from time.
And in the creation of constructs related to the Eternal Gate, it was an essential foundation for all manner of large storage constructs.
Such a tiny grain, if its quality were a little better, could probably fetch several million Federal Currency on the Association's platform with ease! Compared with other materials, that might not sound outrageous, but one had to understand that a single grain was useless for practically anything. To actually make a construct, the starting amount was measured in ounces.
To gather enough, money was not the important thing. The important thing was whether there was any stock.
Even with an Artisan's broad experience, Ji Jue had not seen many people wearing related constructs over the years. Only young masters from wealthy families like Lou Da Shao occasionally had one or two on them, and they guarded them like treasured darlings. Even when Ji Jue wanted to touch or borrow them for a moment, they would refuse!
Yet he had never expected that he would have a day of striking it rich himself?
