Lin Chuan saw Klein close his eyes briefly. Once he opened them again, Lin Chuan said:
"Congratulations."
"Mm." Feeling the increase in his spirituality, Klein nodded slightly. "I've finished digesting the Seer potion."
Then he turned his gaze to the spot in Lin Chuan's hand where the badge had been and asked curiously:
"What are those? A lump of jelly and something shaped like a horn... are they the Beyonder characteristics extracted from shattering the badge?"
Lin Chuan calmly put the characteristics into the Boundless Void and explained:
"More or less, but it's probably not quite what you're thinking."
"With Beyonder Items-or Sealed Artifacts, rather-whether you can destroy them and obtain the corresponding characteristics depends largely on the material of the object the characteristics have merged with."
At this point, he used his connection to the corruption to check on the Sealed Artifact he had left in Moon City, formed from a Secrets Suppliant characteristic and a lantern.
The lantern was unchanged, and the contingency he had left behind had not been triggered. The people of Moon City had been cautious enough and had suffered no harm...
Satisfied, Lin Chuan withdrew his attention and continued:
"In these cases, you generally don't need a particularly powerful attack. Simply destroy the vessel, and the characteristics will separate out."
