The Lord Demon King is Unfathomable!

Initially, when Luo Yan discussed basic particle-related issues with Miranda, he only intended for her to consider it a long-term project without expecting any immediate results.

After all, this world does not have so-called scientific thinking, and there isn't a complete theoretical system to support the idea that everything is made up of basic particles.

The huge gap between technology and theory cannot be bridged by one person's efforts alone; it requires many breakthrough developments, and only then can a quantitative change lead to a qualitative transformation...

However, what Luo Yan did not expect was that this "Madman" who was once targeted by Novel would surprise him once again.

He discovered the basic particles that compose Extraordinary Power...

How did he do it?

Curious, Luo Yan canceled the outing he had planned with Sarah, Alakdo, and the others, and followed Miranda to a room deep within the castle.

This place, which once served as a castle armory, had been transformed into Miranda's Magic Workshop on Kao Planet.

In a corner of the room stood a massive machine, shaped like an enlarged version of a balance scale, with brass metal braces connecting two circular trays.

The two trays were etched with differently patterned Magic Arrays, linked together by lines of Netherworld Language. On the left tray lay a blood-red crystal, while the right tray held a transparent crystal.

Luo Yan noticed that the crystal was not entirely transparent; a large portion of it consisted of milky-white crystals.

"This is..."

Miranda quickly said.

"This is a device for converting Blood Crystals into Demon Crystals, the thing you asked me to study!"

"You did it?" Luo Yan's expression slightly moved.

Although Blood Crystals could be used to power the Teleportation Array on Kao Planet, because they belong to a completely different system of Extraordinary Power, there has always been a problem with too low a utilization rate of energy.

It's like pouring alcohol into a cylinder meant for kerosene; even if it works, the effect is not very good.

If Blood Crystals could be converted into Demon Crystals, it would not only solve the problem of low energy utilization rates but also allow the energy collected on Kao Planet to match the energy system on Aus Continent, thus making these unsaleable items tradable commodities.

However, after hearing Luo Yan's words, Miranda's face showed an embarrassed expression as she coughed lightly and said,

"Not yet... But I can feel that we are very close to the final product. The castle of theory is just a few bricks shy, and what you see before you is one of them..."

Miranda quickly changed the subject and waved her hand, another milky-white crystal drifted from the tray and landed closer to Luo Yan on the workbench.

"This is it!"

Luo Yan remained silent, with Youyou floating over to the milky-white crystal and curiously circled it a few times before muttering softly.

"This is just quartz... nothing strange."

And it's even of a poorer quality.

It is well known that the Magic Power of Aus Continent has a particular "preference for the finer things," so quartz of the same chemical composition and weight can store vastly different amounts of Magic Power, depending on its quality.

And an important factor determining quality is rarity.

The more transparent a natural crystal, the rarer it is; conversely, the more opaque a crystal, the more common it is.

Unlike Youyou, Luo Yan did not immediately jump to a conclusion but stared at the milky-white crystal for a long time.

At that moment, he spotted a clue.

Just under the smooth crystal surface, a series of tiny bubbles were suspended!

These fine bubbles filled the interior of the crystal like clouds, making it appear like a low-quality crystal mixed with mineral impurities.

But in reality, it was not so.

Every crystal sent here from the Great Graveyard had been produced by the Rock Soul Tribe and carefully selected by the Mole People of Iron Teeth City from the finest goods!

An interested expression emerged in Luo Yan's eyes as he picked up the crystal, trying to infuse it with Magic Power.

And just as he expected, Magic Power easily merged into it, filling up the seemingly poor-quality crystal's interior.

"Interesting..."

Seeing that the Demon King had finally realized this crystal's uniqueness, Miranda also revealed a radiant smile at the same time, continuing with a hint of bragging in her voice.

"When I tried to convert the energy from Blood Crystals into Magic Power and infuse it into regular crystals, the unconverted portion of that energy underwent an unexpected transformation. It didn't directly turn into Magic Power but became a transitional state material... it can't be stored in Blood Crystals, nor can it be stored in what we consider valuable crystals, and it can't even remain in our perceptible world for a long time!"

Looking at an excited Miranda explaining, Luo Yan asked with great interest.

"How did you prove this?"

Miranda didn't directly answer his inquiry but instead asked with a smile,

"What happens when a grain of sand passes through a crystal?"
