Chapter 389

Shhhhhhh——

There was a sound of debris falling to the ground.

The stone in Shao Xuan’s hand, still covered in mud, looked like it was being washed away by an invisible gush of water. Beginning at the top, the layer of outer “skin” was reduced to debris, with the silt falling altogether to reveal the smooth surface of the crystal.

Duo Li’s eyeballs looked like they were about to fall out of his head.

So the crystal was wrapped in stone? However, he knew best that cutting the stone would amount to nothing! The stone would only be broken into pieces!

“How is this possible?” Duo Li took the stone from Shao Xuan and peered closer. The crystal was still covered in some mud. He wiped it off with his hand, then covered it with an opaque animal skin pouch. There was indeed a glow, but it was not bright.

“You have to let it sit in the sun for some time.” Shao Xuan said.

“Oh…… Oh! All right, the sun!” Du Li went to stand in the sunniest area while holding the stone. He stood up straight, not daring to move.

When he saw this, Shao Xuan said, “Just putting it on the ground is fine.”

After placing the stone in a sunny place, Shao Xuan had everyone continue to fetch stones. The ones fished out of the riverbed were immediately kept away so that before night came, they could still rush back to the tribe.

Knowing that the dry river was full of treasure, the crowd became excited and quickened the movement of their hands.

Shao Xuan told them about the Drumming tribe and the Water Moon Stone. Everyone thought it was very strange, it was their first time hearing of such a thing. That was caused by the fire seed?

“If there is a tribe here that can produce heaps of Water Moon Stones, there’s only one thing that would happen,” said Duo Kang.

“That’s right. The slave owners would want them!” Guangyi added.

Therefore, they would only say to the outside world that they had dug it from the mountains, but would not that Shao Xuan transformed it. In this regard, the people who knew unanimously agreed on this decision.

Altogether, more than ten bags of stones were fished back to the tribe. There was no time to weave more mesh bags, they would come back to catch more later.

Back at the tribe, the stones were washed. Shao Xuan described how he did the transformation of the stone but not the complete picture. After all, the power to change the stone came from the outer shell of the totemic flame but not the flame itself.

The results also proved this to be true, as Shao Xuan expected. The others could not turn the stone. Even the shamaness could not. Both the totem power and the power of inheritance had no effect. 

The crowd gave up after trying, too. They realize that the fluctuations of Shao Xuan’s totemic power were not the same as theirs. It’s not new, but it’s not familiar. It felt weird, but it’s really something they couldn’t do.

They knew their limits, but it’s not to say that they were not disappointed.

“Since it’s like this, I’ll use my powers to make more. Even if I can’t trade these with the slave owners, it can also be kept for everyone to use.” Shao Xuan said.

The shamaness shook her head, looking at Shao Xuan’s tired complexion. “Just do what you can. No one can say that such a change has no harm to you. We have been living well even without these crystals, we will be fine.”
