Chapter 253: Opening Pandora’s Box, Won’t I Be Sucked Dry?
Lin Qing was skeptical as he circulated the vitality within his body according to the signal transmitted by Ah Yin.
A wisp of extremely pure life energy slowly poured into the Green Rough Stone through the display case.
The moment that wisp of vitality touched the rough stone, a vast life aura rushed directly into his body along that same thread of life energy.
It created a strong resonance and hum with his own life force.
This reaction formed an extreme contrast with the seemingly ordinary stone from just a moment ago!
This feeling!!!
Lin Qingmo’s heart thudded violently.
He had seen Gold of Life before; in fact, his Eight Spider Lances had already evolved into Emerald Eight Spider Lances after being fused with a piece of Gold of Life.
He knew very well that Gold of Life was a special metal containing massive life energy.
But the life aura contained within this rough stone was even purer, vaster, and more ancient than Gold of Life.
This was definitely some kind of treasure related to vitality, similar to Gold of Life but of a higher Rank!
Thinking of this, Lin Qingmo was beyond excited.
To avoid being noticed, he suppressed his excitement and walked calmly to the display case in the corner, calling for a salesclerk.
The salesclerk not far away was a young girl, currently chatting animatedly with a colleague next to her.
Hearing his voice, she walked over reluctantly with a perfunctory smile on her face.
"Sir, what would you like to see?"
She thought to herself that nothing in here was valuable, and selling them wouldn’t earn her much commission.
Lin Qingmo’s gaze fell on the Green Rough Stone, his tone flat: "I’ll buy this stone."
The girl followed his gaze, and the perfunctory look on her face instantly turned into surprise.
She looked at Lin Qingmo as if she were looking at a fool.
"Sir, are you sure you want to buy this?"
"This stone has been here for almost half a year without anyone buying it; it’s just an ordinary decorative stone."
"If you want to buy gemstones, we have better ones over here with good quality and fair prices."
Lin Qingmo shook his head, his tone still flat and without a hint of emotion: "I’m sure, I’ll take this one. Let’s settle the payment."
Seeing his firm attitude, the girl stopped trying to persuade him, though she grumbled inwardly.
He’s not right in the head, spending 1,000 gold coins to buy a broken stone.
She opened the display case, took out the Green Rough Stone, placed it in a box, and handed it to Lin Qingmo.
Lin Qingmo took 1,000 gold coins directly from his spirit tool and placed them on the counter.
Casual as could be, he put the box into his spirit tool and turned to leave without any hesitation.
Leaving the auction house, Lin Qingmo sped away in the direction of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
He had only one thought in his mind right now.
That was to get back to his dormitory as quickly as possible and properly research the Origins of this rough stone.
Something that possessed such a majestic life aura was definitely not simple.
...
In less than half an hour, Lin Qingmo had returned to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy and his private dormitory.
The moment he stepped into the dorm, he closed the doors and windows and deployed a Spirit Power Barrier, making the entire room airtight.
Ah Yin also emerged from his leg bone.
The vines and leaves of the Blue Silver Grass spread out densely along the walls, floor, and ceiling of the room.
On every leaf, his spirit power fluctuations flowed, forming an Isolated Space.
After confirming everything was secure.
Lin Qingmo finally took out the box containing the Green Rough Stone from his spirit tool.
The dark Green Rough Stone lay quietly in the box, looking exactly as it had in the display area.
The surface was rough and lacked any luster, appearing completely ordinary.
"Ah Yin, what do you think this thing really is?"
Lin Qingmo tried to communicate with Ah Yin.
Ah Yin’s Blue Silver Grass vines swayed gently, transmitting intermittent thoughts.
She didn’t know the Origin of this rough stone either, let alone what it actually was.
She could only feel that the rough stone contained a life force so majestic it gave even her palpitations.
It was even more ancient and of a higher order than her own Origin.
It was as if her Blue Silver EmperorOrigin was merely an insignificant branch split off from the life Origin within this rough stone.
"A life Origin even more powerful than a 100,000 yearsBlue Silver Emperor?"
Lin Qingmo’s brow furrowed slightly as he fell into thought.
Ah Yin was a 100,000 yearsBlue Silver Emperor, the pinnacle of vitality for plant-type Spirit Beasts on the Douluo Continent.
If it made her feel that her own Origin was weak, then just how high-grade was the life Origin inside this rough stone?
Speaking of Spirit Beasts with the life attribute.
The only stronger one he could think of was the Jade Swan.
Bi Ji, a Vicious Beast of the Star Dou Great Forest, was a top-tier life attributeSpirit Beast with nearly 600,000 years of cultivation, whose true form was a Jade Swan.
"Could this thing be related to Bi Ji?"
The thought flashed through his mind, but he quickly suppressed it.
There was no use thinking about it too much now.
It would be better to just break open the shell of this rough stone and see what was hidden inside.
Lin Qingmo pondered for a moment.
Shing!!!
The eight Emerald Eight Spider Lances shot out from his back.
Brilliant emerald light flowed across the lances, and the golden patterns on them shone brightly, with the Origin energy of Gold of Life flowing within.
After the Fusion with Gold of Life, the Eight Spider Lances had long since evolved to an incredible level.
Even against the Clear Sky Hammer, Lin Qingmo was confident he could go head-to-head.
He poured his spirit power into the Eight Spider Lances.
Clang!
The tips of the lances let out a sharp whistle as they tore through the air, stabbing toward the shell of the Green Rough Stone.
There was a deafening clang.
The Eight Spider Lances were actually vibrated into a frantic hum.
A violent recoil traveled through the Eight Spider Lances, making Lin Qingmo’s back go numb and ache slightly.
But when he looked closely, he found that the shell of the Green Rough Stone didn’t have even a single scratch!
"Not broken? How is that possible?"
Lin Qingmo’s pupils suddenly constricted.
Unbelievable!
With the sharpness of the Emerald Eight Spider Lances, even a wall-thick plate of refined steel could be easily pierced.
Yet this seemingly ordinary stone didn’t even have a scratch?
Before he could recover from his shock.
The Green Rough Stone suddenly erupted with an incredibly terrifying suction force, firmly sticking to his Emerald Eight Spider Lances.
The Gold of LifeOrigin energy within the Eight Spider Lances, along with the spirit power he had injected, began pouring into the rough stone like floodgates being opened!
"What?! It’s absorbing my life energy and spirit power!"
Lin Qingmo’s expression changed drastically.
He immediately tried to retract the Eight Spider Lances.
At the same time, he circulated the spirit power in his body.
But that suction force was simply too terrifying.
No matter how hard he pulled and tugged, he couldn’t break the Eight Spider Lances free from the rough stone even an inch.
The more he pushed his spirit power, the stronger the suction became.
The spirit power in his body was being devoured and absorbed by the rough stone as if it were free.
Lin Qingmo truly began to panic now.
This thing was like a bottomless pit—it wouldn’t suck him to death, would it??
