Grey Shadow Hall attendants delivered the Formation Core Stone to the Osborn Clan's in the VIP room before the auction hall's final transactions had fully concluded, two of them carrying the display stand with careful, practiced efficiency while a third presented the formal transfer documentation to John.
Morgan had the storage box open even before the attendants had finished placing the crystal down. He gently ran his fingers along the surface of the Formation Core Stone, careful not to actually touch it. Years of working closely with high-grade materials had honed his spiritual sensitivity, allowing him to sense the quality of what lay within.
Satisfied, he guided the stone into the specially prepared container, which closed with a soft seal that immediately suppressed the crystal's outward spiritual energy signature to near nothing.
