How could the Philosopher's Stone be used?
Crunch, crunch, crunch...
After replenishing himself with some high-energy food, Green imitated the Mountain Barbarian Brute and chewed up a small piece of Philosopher's Stone before swallowing it. He then narrowed his eyes and quietly sensed the time-shortening effect it had on his body's passive evolution.
