Having said that, he ignored Lin Dong and examined the Stone Talisman in his hand.
The Stone Talisman emitted a gentle white light. Even in his hand, it seemed to be struggling.

With a flick of his finger, a ray of light entered the Stone Talisman, and it immediately stopped struggling.
Only then did Lu Yunxiao inspect the Stone Talisman in his hand.
At first glance, it was merely a stone the size of two fingers.
