He was just about to pick up a piece for a closer look when a notification suddenly appeared on the panel, freezing his hand in midair.
[Eleven high-grade spirit stones detected.]
"Huh?"
Chapter 122: Star Cores? Spirit Stones?
Gerald was genuinely stunned by the information on the panel.
Spirit stones were, after all, the most basic yet most precious hard currency in the cultivation world.
The spiritual qi within them could be absorbed directly to advance one's cultivation, and they could also be used to set up array formations or even power magic artifacts and puppets.
But he soon recovered from his shock.
Once Gerald calmed down, he began examining the Blue Gold stone in his palm. The longer he looked, the more something seemed off.
The stone's material was indeed highly similar to the spirit stones described in the cultivation novels he had read, but cultivators could directly refine high-grade spirit stones, allowing the spiritual qi within to flow naturally into their meridians as they circulated their cultivation techniques.
Yet when he tried circulating his technique to absorb it, the stone remained completely unresponsive. The Blue Gold light inside paid no attention whatsoever to the guidance of his yuanqi.
Honestly, this panel's appraisal results were sometimes pretty unreliable.
His wand had been identified as a high-grade magical artifact, dragon blood as demonic beast blood, and Acromantulas as demonic beasts.
Gerald pondered to himself.
This panel probably applies cultivation terminology to everything. Whenever it encounters a magical creation resembling a cultivation item, it automatically sorts it into the closest category.
These eleven Blue Gold stones probably aren't spirit stones.
But what's certain is that they contain an enormous amount of energy. It's just that my yuanqi can't convert this energy directly into cultivation.
Still, Gerald was not discouraged.
