Huo Lian nodded without answering Huang Xiao. He had yet to fully recover from his shock.
"Spirit crystal! This is a spirit crystal, and definitely not a low-grade spirit crystal. It should be mid-grade-no, at least mid-grade, and very possibly high-grade!" Lu Mu shouted. "And such a huge piece! This is simply astounding!"
Lu Mu had originally thought that even if this inkstone vein contained some astonishing treasure, it would probably just be inkstone crystals. Even a large number of them would have been understandable.
But who could have imagined that such a massive spirit crystal would appear in this inkstone vein?
The spirit crystal was cylindrical, over ten feet long and probably more than a foot in diameter. A spirit crystal of this size was certainly a rarity in all the world.
Spirit crystals like those Meng Hengjing and the others had obtained at the Guangjin Consignment House's auctions were low-grade, and generally only the size of a fist. Even the larger ones probably would not exceed the size of a human head.
Spirit crystals the size of a head rarely appeared even at the Guangjin Consignment House's auctions. They might only appear at the major year-end auction, and could be considered exceptionally precious treasures.
As far as Huang Xiao knew, most of these spirit crystals were fist-sized. Who knew how many years it took to condense a spirit crystal the size of a fist?
Even if the spirit crystal before them was low-grade, it would still be worth a fortune.
Besides, such a massive spirit crystal certainly could not be merely low-grade. As Lu Mu had said, it was at least mid-grade, perhaps even high-grade.
So far, Huang Xiao had only come into contact with low-grade spirit crystals. He had never had the chance to see any others.
