Zhao Lin was startled. 'The Spirit Beast Scroll used to react this way when it encountered a high-quality Essence Soul,' he thought, 'but this is just a 'stone' in my hand. It's not a living thing, so what would it absorb?'
'Is it trying to absorb the Spiritual Qi inside?'
His mind raced. He knew he absolutely couldn't let it happen here, so he hurriedly returned the Spirit Stone to He Shaoqun.
The Cultivation Realm had countless magical artifacts and Spiritual Objects. If anything unusual happened with him, it would surely draw suspicion—it wouldn't be as easy to muddle through as it was in this world.
He Shaoqun was stunned for a moment, then asked in confusion, "Senior Brother, are you done looking already?"
Though his heart was pounding, Zhao Lin's face remained as calm as ever. He smiled and said, "I like it a lot. I'm just afraid I won't want to let go if I keep holding it."
