"Blood Crystal?"
She blinked in confusion, her gaze wandering.
"I don't have any Blood Crystals. I've never even heard of such a thing. It doesn't seem like they sell them in Beast Gathering City, either…"
An Jin pouted and slumped onto the table, looking utterly dejected.
Chi Li gave her an amused look, then turned and went into the adjacent room. He returned with a small mahogany box.
He opened the box. Nestled on a soft animal pelt was a single, translucent, blood-red Crystal Stone.
'Is that a Blood Crystal?'
"That person gave me two of these back then. I was saving this one for when I advance my spiritual power, but if you need it, I can lend it to you for now."
An Jin was both flattered and taken aback. "If I use your last one, what will you do?" she asked, feeling a bit embarrassed.
"That's why I said 'lend.'"
