Chapter 387- The Rock Glows

When the rustling stopped, the thread from his mind retracted. 

Shao Xuan looked at the stone in his hand once again. What was an ordinary rock was now crystal, as smooth as a hard-boiled egg. The crystal was slightly cold, like the Water Moon Stone he knew. 

He was about to move when he felt his vision go blurry. It was probably because he had been squatting for a long time. 

He was tired, it would be better to rest first. 

He looked at the stone in his head. It looked like the Water Moon Stone although there were minor differences. 

Was this really the Water Moon Stone? 

Sunlight was streaming into the house. 

He closed the windows and the door to darken the room. 

If it was the stone, it should glow in the dark. 

However, nothing much happened. 

While there was a faint glow, it was too faint for it to be useful. He wouldn’t be able to read a scroll in this light. 

This glow was far from the Water Moon Stone. 

However, it was useful to know that it had similar properties. He did not immediately transform the two other stones for it took some energy just for one. 

He planned to rest but someone knocked on the door. 

“Elder Shao Xuan, are you there? The chief summons you,” yelled the person outside. 

Shao Xuan answered him and put the rock on his table. He opened the windows and patted off the powder left from the stone on his hands. 

He stood up to open the door, leaving to look for the chief. 

The crystal sat on the table. Sunlight streamed in and poured on the stone. 

On the other side, many people were already present at the chief’s house when he arrived. It was the same bunch- Duo Kang, Guang Yi and the other important people. The shamaness was not there. 

“Saho Xuan, come here!” Chief Zheng Luo pointed at the seat next to him. 

It used to be the shamaness’ seat, no one would sit in it if she wasn’t here. This was the first time Duo Kang and the rest saw another person sit there. 

As the Elder, Shao Xuan was qualified. 

This time, Zheng Luo held this meeting to discuss the trade with the slave masters later. They were not going to go to the royal city because they had caused trouble there some time ago. As for the rest of the cities, they would still visit them. 

Not every person would go. This meeting would confirm the people leaving and the things they had to take note off. Two more meetings would be held before they left. It was a last-minute meeting so they did not inform in advance. 

“I heard the demand for white fur has been increasing this year, do you have any? Prepare them well, you may increase the price later,” said the chief. 

The hunters usually stored the animal hides they didn’t like- white fur was the least useful one to them. White was stained and dirtied easily, plus it would be too bright to be worn in the forest. Wearing it for a hunt would just be impractical. However, white animals in the forest were rare too. Most of them appeared near winter near the snowy mountains. Who would want to go there? 

“Chief, do they still want the spotted ones?” Duo Kang asked, rubbing his palms. This year, his family had kept a lot of spotted furs because it was all the rage among the slave masters last year. The price was high. As for the other colours, they kept them for themselves.
