Swallowing the Stars: Realm of Control

Chapter 21 Testing Ideas

Luo Feng frowned slightly: "Ice Spirit Seed? Clan Chief, what exactly is this Ice Spirit Seed?"

"It's a kind of medicinal herb that grows in extremely cold places. I've only ever heard of it by chance. Using Ice Spirit Seeds is the safest method."

Adamostel replied, "Although you have refined the spirit pearl, I do not recommend that you use this earth spirit pearl. You can exchange it for some treasures here. In addition to ordinary treasures, I also have 'treasure artifacts' that can be activated by Qi. As a half-Awakening Realm expert, you can use them."

"I estimate that, using the treasured longbow, your power would be barely enough to injure a Spirit-level Great Ferocious."

"I can exchange one Earth Spirit for a magical longbow."

Adamost clearly wanted this Earth Spirit Stone.

Luo Feng shook his head: "Never mind then, I don't have any plans to change my treasure for the time being."

With that, Luo Feng left.

Watching Luo Feng leave, Twenty-Eight and the others shook their heads.

Adamostel watched Luo Feng leave, a glint flashing in his cloudy, deep eyes: "This Dano is so stubborn, not entirely like his usual self. If it were the old Dano, he would definitely listen to me. It seems I need to find an opportunity to test him, or... test him directly."

Adamostel didn't think that extraterrestrial visitor was a fool who would easily die in Mount Damao; it was highly likely that he had already refined Dano.

He withdrew his thoughts, looked at Erba and the others, and said, "If you want to exchange for the Spirit Aperture Pearl, that's fine, but I need some time."

"I need to offer these earth spirit stones to the mountain god and then exchange them for some spirit aperture beads. You need to give me these first."

The five of them exchanged glances, and finally Twenty-Eight spoke up, saying, "We believe in the clan leader."

As he spoke, he took out two Earth Spirit Stones: "Clan Chief, I have two. I'll exchange one for a Spirit Aperture Pearl, and the other, the treasure you mentioned earlier, I need to exchange for a longbow."

Adamostel accepted it: "No problem, I happen to have a longbow here, you can take it with you in a bit."

"However, since you currently lack Qi perception and cannot absorb Qi to cultivate your body, nor can your body generate Qi power, you cannot activate this treasure. Once you awaken Qi perception and cultivate using the Spirit Aperture Pearl, you will be able to activate it once you have refined Qi power and signed this treasure bow with your blood."

The key prerequisite for gathering Qi is the awakening of Qi awareness; it cannot be achieved simply by using ferocious flesh and blood to help the body gather Qi.

This is different from Luo Feng's original self.

"We want to exchange them for a Spirit Aperture Bead." The other four also offered up the Earth Spirit Stones they held, their eyes filled with longing.

"No problem," Adamostel nodded.

He took the Earth Spirit Stones one by one and wrapped them in his special piece of cloth.

"Twenty-eight, come with me," Adamostel gestured.

He walked towards the aisle of the shelves, reached the inner door of the room, took out a key, and clicked open the lock.

Inside, there is an even smaller room.

They came here to exchange items, but none of them were qualified to open the package; it turned out that it contained some precious artifacts.

Twenty-eight followed them inside. There were only three things inside: a longbow, a long staff, and a silver sword.

Adamostel took the longbow and stroked it.

This longbow is light gold in color, and its body is not flat, with small pits and bumps, which are designed to make it easier to grip.

Beneath these tiny pits, one can clearly see numerous dark lines on the entire bow, with a faint shimmering light flowing through them, making it all the more mysterious.

Twenty-eight took it, his hand trembling slightly, gently stroking it, his eyes bright as if looking at a beautiful woman.

I looked at it very carefully, not missing a single little detail.

"Good stuff." Twenty-eight's eyes were full of joy.

He tried to draw the bow, but it was too hard. He used all his strength, but he couldn't budge it at all.

"This is a treasure. Without the power of Qi to activate it, you can't pull it. But once you do, the power of an arrow is such that no one below the Spirit-level Great Ferocity can withstand it," Adamostel explained with a smile.

Twenty-eight nodded: "Then I can only wait for my Spirit Aperture Pearl. Clan Chief, I'll leave the matter of the Spirit Aperture Pearl to you."

Once outside, the other four men's eyes lit up when they saw the bow in Twenty-Eight's hand.

"Brother Erba, with this bow, how strong are you?" one of them asked.

"If I have the power of Qi and can pull it, then the clan leader means that no one below the Spirit-level Great Ferocity can withstand it." Twenty-Eight smiled, his face full of self-satisfaction.

"That's amazing? From now on, Brother Erba, you'll be the number one hunter in the village."

The four of them praised it repeatedly.

Twenty-Eight simply smiled: "From now on, following me will be no worse than following Dano. He was just lucky to obtain the spiritual pearl left by his father. Otherwise, how could he possibly be better than me?"

"It seems like our luck isn't bad right now!"

He then looked at the clan leader and said, "Clan leader, we'll leave the matter of the Spirit Aperture Pearl to you. We'll take our leave now."

He glanced at his four teammates, who all bowed in greeting.

"Go ahead, you can come and collect it in three days," Adamostel waved his hand.

After watching the five people leave.

Adamost also quickly left the room, closed the door, and locked it.

His gaze turned to the hill behind his family's courtyard, towards the direction of a cave: "We need to test that guy. If we confirm it's him, we absolutely cannot let him escape. I need to ask the adults for something."

Thinking it over, he left the courtyard and headed towards the mountain god's cave on the back mountain.

After about half an hour, we arrived at a wild, open area in the mountains.

The terrain here is steep, with only low meadows growing on the ground and no trees at all. The whole area looks like it was carved out of a forest, with some bare rocks exposed in some places.

In this steep area, there is a path leading uphill. At the end of the path, you can see a huge cave.

Two guards stood watch outside the cave.

The entire cave was surrounded by shimmering, iridescent light, which was quite mystical.

Upon seeing Adamostel's arrival, the two guards appeared somewhat wooden, but remained extremely respectful: "Chieftain."

Adamostel said nothing and went straight into the cave.

Inside the cave, the lights were on.

The lamp wick was made of something resembling a luminous stone, illuminating the entire passageway.

The passageway looked quite smooth, as if it had been naturally shaped and then artificially modified, with no particularly protruding stones on either side.

Occasionally, light-emitting points are placed between the stone walls.

As you move further inside, the view gradually opens up, and you arrive at a larger platform space.

This is an inner cave space estimated to be over 300 square meters. The base of the space is engraved with circles of mysterious runes, which flicker on and off, adding to the mystery.

In the very center, there is something that looks like a lotus altar, or perhaps it is not an altar, but rather like a Bodhi lotus seat.

Besides the numerous mysterious runes on it, there is a faint, shimmering light above this "seat," and that space seems to be transparently connected to other places.

Besides this lotus pedestal, there is also a black stone with many intricate patterns on it.

Adamostel arrived here and gently extended his palm before the lotus seat. As the light from his palm rippled, he pressed it lightly on the lotus seat.

hum!

Instantly, the entire lotus throne shimmered with light.
