The Queen of Scrolls never admits defeat

It was only then that Moran learned that magic crystals also served as a form of currency among explorers.

Magic coins can only buy ordinary drinks or food here; important magical resources are priced in magic crystals.

This made her even more curious about the effects of the magic crystals.

Magic coins can be used to restore magic energy, so magic crystals can't just be useless crystals, right?
After copying down all the books on the list, she started reading one of them, a book about magical crystals: "The Carrier of Primal Energy: Magic Crystals".

After reading the book, Moran realized that the magic crystals were far more useful than she had imagined.

It is the carrier of primordial magical energy and magic power.

There are two types: ordinary magic crystals and original magic crystals.

A common magic crystal; when absorbed by the caster, it grants the caster a temporary magic power of 1 mana.

This temporary magic is similar to, yet different from, Moran's one-time magic used for card making and magic recovery.

Temporary magic can be accumulated indefinitely. The amount of temporary magic can be accumulated as many times as there are ordinary magic crystals. It is not limited by one's own rank, is independent of one's own original magical energy, and will not be restored after it is consumed.

A crystal of primordial magic; once absorbed by the caster, it can permanently convert a certain amount of other magical energy within their body into 1 Mana of magic power.

The magic power that has been permanently transformed can be restored through the magic system itself.

When a mage restores their mental energy through meditation, that mental energy is converted into magical energy to replenish the magical energy consumed during spellcasting.

Magic crystals, simply put, are an important resource for explorers to obtain and master magic spellcasting.

Magic is the most fundamental magical energy; only magic can be transformed into any magical energy, and any magical energy can also be transformed into magic.

Thanks to magic, explorers can learn and use all otherworldly magic, regardless of race or talent.

Many explorers, after reaching a bottleneck in their own magical system, will explore other worlds to acquire other magical talents, learn corresponding spells, accumulate corresponding magical energy, and then convert this magical energy into magic power through primordial magic crystals, thereby further improving their magic power level.

However, for witches who already possess magic, the effect of the primordial magic crystal is slightly reduced.

Aside from magic power, witches do not possess any other magical energy. The ability of primordial magic crystals to permanently convert other magical energies into magic power is meaningless to witches.

Fortunately, Senior Tracy discovered that when witches use Primal Magic Crystals in combination with Ordinary Magic Crystals, they can convert 1 Mana of temporary magic into 1 Mana of permanent magic.

For explorers, magic crystals are an important resource for upgrading magic rank and obtaining more magical energy. They are even more important than magic coins in terms of restoring magical energy, so it is perfectly normal for them to be used in the trade of important magical resources.

Unfortunately, there is currently only one source of magic crystals—rewards for completing world quests.

However, there should be two now.

Moran's Book of Cards can also be crafted.

It's acceptable to use 100 Mana to create a {Normal Mana Crystal Card} and gain 1 Mana of temporary mana. Temporary mana, which can be accumulated indefinitely, is more valuable than one-time mana with a recovery limit.

Using 1 Mana of permanent magic power plus 100 Mana of one-time magic power to create a {Primal Magic Crystal Card} would not be worthwhile if you only gained 1 Mana of permanent magic power.

I'd lose money even if I used it myself, let alone sell it to others; there's no market for it at all.

However, it would be good enough to make even one; Moran wasn't greedy.

She added a "Sky Well Explorer can use" restriction to the {Common Magic Crystal Card} and then listed it in the Witch Edition Card Shop and the Dawn Society Card Shop according to the previous pricing standards.

This is because only Skywell Explorers whose bodies have been modified by the world's forces during their journey to the Explorer's Camp can digest the energy of the magic crystals.

Finally, a push notification ad was thoughtfully added for every Skywell explorer with card magic, informing them of this good news.

From then on, for every {Common Magic Crystal Card} she sold, she could earn at least four Common Magic Crystals, and even more if the buyer was a race other than a witch.

No more worrying about not having enough regular magic crystals!

As for the Origin Magic Crystal, it's best to honestly complete world quests or sell valuable magical knowledge from other worlds to make money.

Earning permanent magic power through card magic is much easier than obtaining primal magic power crystals.

Having figured out the magic crystal, Moran switched to other reference books to study.

After reading all the recommended books in the "Essential Reading List for Exploring the Skywell" and the information about the Valen explorers' forces and camps that he had copied from Lan Qiqi, Moran still felt it wasn't enough.

Then he went to the Otherworld Archives and copied down all the non-magical materials to read.

These materials included exploration logs of other worlds written by Valen explorers themselves, translations of exploration logs from other world explorers, books on language, common knowledge, and local customs collected from other worlds, and popular science summaries that synthesized information from multiple popular other worlds. Moran was truly amazed by them.

The saying "The world is vast and full of wonders" is vividly demonstrated in these books.

Having seen so many strange worlds and races, Moran was incredibly grateful that when her soul was wandering in the universe, it was received by Valen and she was reborn as a witch, instead of becoming some kind of slime or green-haired race.

A small portion of the materials were written in a language from another world that Moran couldn't understand, but that didn't stop her from reading through them page by page, memorizing them with her powerful mental strength, and creating corresponding {knowledge cards}.

After finishing the non-magical materials, Moran copied down all the magic-related materials that were free for witches and made them into {knowledge cards}.

However, she only kept these {knowledge cards} for her own collection, so she could easily take them out to study later, and did not put them up for sale.

Finally, Moran also read through the "Collection of Books from Another World's Archives" to finish reading the summaries of all the magic-related materials he hadn't seen before.

She was reluctant to spend her Origin Magic Crystals to buy these spellbooks for the time being, but she needed to know what kind of spellbooks were available so she could buy them when she had Origin Magic Crystals or when she urgently needed them.

When Moran arrived at the otherworld database, her tent door was still standing alone in a corner of the witch's camp. When she returned, six more doors had appeared beside her tent door, bringing the total to number 339. (End of Chapter)
