First Layer Origin Refinement Stage
After sending out Ranze, Compass Carburettor sat in the living room, taking out an Essence Stone from his spatial bag.
Grisha was already cultivating in a nearby room, so he didn't wish to waste any time, gazing at the Essence Stone that was the size of his thumb. It was oval in shape and sported a texture similar to smoothened marble. It was white with occasional shades of light yellow.
This mild shade of yellow was the actual Origin Essence contained within it. The rest of the Essence Stone just acted as a container that trapped the Origin Essence. Once all the Origin Essence in it was absorbed, it would just become a normal pebble.
Though, it was still a fairly luxurious item that the rich collected to use in building their houses. It was a blatant show of their wealth.
