Pandora's Box Opened-It Won't Drain Me Dry, Will It?
Lin Qing was skeptical, but she circulated her life force according to the signals transmitted by Ah Yin.
A wisp of extremely pure life energy slowly flowed into the green Primal Stone through the display case.
The instant that wisp of life force touched the Primal Stone, a vast aura of life rushed directly into his body along with that wisp of life energy.
It resonated strongly with his own life force, creating a buzzing sound.
This reaction was a stark contrast to the unremarkable stone from before!
"Feeling!!!"
Lin Qingmo's heart skipped a beat.
He had seen the Life Gold, and his Eight Spider Lances had even fused with a piece of Life Gold, evolving into the Emerald Eight Spider Lances.
He knew very well that the Life Gold was a special metal containing immense life energy.
Yet the life force contained within this Primal Stone was even purer, more vast, and more ancient than that of Life Gold.
This is definitely some kind of treasure related to life force, similar to the Life Gold, but of a higher level than the Life Gold!
Thinking of this, Lin Qingmo was extremely excited.
To avoid arousing suspicion, he suppressed his excitement and calmly walked to the display case in the corner, calling out to the salesperson.
The saleswoman not far away was a young girl, chatting enthusiastically with her colleague next to her.
Hearing the sound, he reluctantly walked over, a perfunctory smile on his face.
"Sir, what would you like to see?"
I figured the stuff here wasn't worth much, and I wouldn't get much commission from selling it.
Lin Qingmo's gaze fell on the green Primal Stone, and he said calmly, "I'll buy this stone."
The little girl followed his gaze, and the perfunctory look on her face instantly turned into surprise.
The way he looked at Lin Qingmo was as if he were looking at a fool.
"Sir, are you sure you want to buy this?"
"This stone has been here for almost half a year, and no one has bought it. It's just an ordinary decorative stone."
"If you're looking to buy gemstones, we have even better ones here—higher quality and at a fair price."
Lin Qingmo shook his head, his tone remaining calm and expressionless. "I'm sure, I'll buy this one. Let's pay."
Seeing his resolute attitude, the little girl stopped trying to persuade him, but secretly grumbled to herself.
Not very bright, spending a Gold Soul Coin on a worthless stone.
She opened the display case, took out the green Primal Stone, put it in a box, and handed it to Lin Qingmo.
Lin Qingmo took out one Gold Soul Coin directly from his Soul Tool and placed them on the counter.
He casually put it into his Soul Tool, turned around and left without the slightest hesitation.
After leaving the auction house, Lin Qingmo sped off towards the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
He has only one thought in his mind right now.
That means I should hurry back to my dorm and carefully study what this Primal Stone is all about.
Something that possesses such a powerful life force is definitely not simple.
In less than half an hour, Lin Qingmo had returned to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy and to his private dormitory.
The moment he stepped into the dormitory, he closed the doors and windows and deployed a Soul Power barrier, making the entire room airtight.
Ah Yin also emerged from his leg bone.
The branches and leaves of the Blue Silver Grass spread out densely along the walls, floor, and ceiling of the room.
His Soul Power flowed across each leaf, forming a sealed, isolated space.
After confirming that everything was in perfect order.
Lin Qingmo then took out the box containing the green Primal Stone from his Soul Tool.
The dark green Primal Stone lay quietly in the box, exactly the same as the one I had just seen in the exhibition area.
Its surface is rough, without any luster, and looks quite ordinary.
"Ah Yin, what do you think this is?"
Lin Qingmo tried to communicate with Ah Yin.
Ah Yin's Blue Silver Grass branches swayed gently, conveying intermittent thoughts.
She didn't know the origin of the Primal Stone, nor what it actually was.
She could only sense that the Primal Stone contained a life force so immense that it made her heart tremble.
It is even older and more advanced than her origin.
Just like, her Blue Silver Emperor Origin was merely an insignificant branch that had differentiated from the Life Origin within this Primal Stone.
"Life Origin even more powerful than Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor?"
Lin Qingmo frowned slightly, lost in thought.
Ah Yin is Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor, possessing top-tier vitality among Plant-type Spirit Beast in the Douluo Continent.
If even she felt her own origin was weak, just how advanced was the Life Origin within this Primal Stone?
Mentioning Soul Beast with life attributes.
The most powerful one he could think of was the Emerald Swan.
Bi Ji, Ferocious Beast of the Star Dou Great Forest, is actually a top-tier life attribute Soul Beast, the Emerald Swan, with nearly 600,000 years of cultivation.
"Could this thing be related to Bi Ji?"
A thought flashed through his mind, but he quickly suppressed it.
Thinking about it now is pointless.
Why not just break open the outer shell of this Primal Stone and see what's hidden inside?
Lin Qingmo for a moment.
"Bass!!!"
Eight Emerald Eight Spider Lances shot out from behind.
A dazzling emerald light flowed across the spear, its golden patterns gleaming, and within it flowed the primal energy of Life Gold.
After fusing with the Life Gold, the Eight Spider Lances had already evolved to an unbelievable level.
Even with the Clear Sky Hammer, Lin Qingmo was confident he could fight it head-on.
He poured his Soul Power into the Eight Spider Lances.
"Clang!"
The spearhead, with a sharp whistling sound as it tore through the air, pierced the outer shell of the green Primal Stone.
A deafening clang rang out.
The Eight Spider Lances were shaken so violently that they hummed wildly.
The violent recoil force traveled through the Eight Spider Lances, causing Lin Qingmo's back to tingle and ache.
But when he looked closely, he discovered that the outer shell of the green Primal Stone was completely free of any scratches!
"Not broken? How is that possible?"
Lin Qingmo's pupils suddenly contracted.
Incredible!
With the sharpness of the Emerald Eight Spider Lances, they can easily pierce even a steel plate as thick as a wall made of fine steel.
But this seemingly ordinary stone doesn't even have a single scratch?
Before he could recover from the shock...
The green Primal Stone suddenly unleashed an extremely terrifying suction force, firmly sticking to his Emerald Eight Spider Lances.
The Life Gold primordial energy contained within the Eight Spider Lances, along with the Soul Power he poured into them, surged into the Primal Stone like a floodgate being opened!
"What?! It's absorbing my life energy and Soul Power!"
Lin Qingmo's expression changed drastically.
He immediately wanted to retrieve the Eight Spider Lances.
At the same time, he circulated the Soul Power within his body.
But that suction force was absolutely terrifying.
No matter how hard he pulled, he couldn't break the Eight Spider Lances off the Primal Stone even a fraction.
The more he activated his Soul Power, the stronger the suction force became.
The Soul Power within his body was being devoured and absorbed by the Primal Stone as if it were free.
Lin Qingmo now genuinely panicking.
This thing is like a bottomless pit; won't it suck him to death?
