When the buzzing stopped, the line in his mind was retracted.
Shao Xuan looked at the stone in his hand. Just a moment ago, it looked very ordinary, but now it was as smooth as a peeled boiled egg. The crystal had a slight coolness to it, very similar to the water moon stone.
Just as he was about to move, Shao Xuan suddenly felt his vision go dark. It was like standing up after a long period of squatting. The blood circulation in the body was blocked, and the brain was deprived of oxygen, causing dizziness.
He was a little tired, but after a few breaths, he felt much better.
Shao Xuan looked at the stone in his hand again. It looked similar to the water moon stone. Although there were slight differences in color and transparency, it was not much different.
Was it really a water moon stone?
Yang Guang was just right outside the window, illuminating the room.
Shao Xuan closed the window and closed the door. The room suddenly darkened.
If it was a water moon stone, in such a dim environment, it would definitely emit a sparkling light.
However, it turned out that it was not the same.
The stone in Shao Xuan's hand also emitted light, but the light it emitted was very dim. It could not illuminate the room at all. If there was an animal skin scroll with words written on it next to this stone, it might not be able to see the words clearly.
This kind of brightness could not be compared to a water moon stone.
However, knowing that it was similar to a water moon stone was still useful information for Shao Xuan. Shao Xuan did not immediately turn the other two stones into the same state. He planned to sit down and rest first. He had used a lot of energy to make the stone just now, so he felt very tired.
At this time, someone knocked on the door.
"Elder Shao Xuan, are you there? The chief wants to see you. "Someone shouted outside the room.
Shao Xuan responded and put the stone on the table. He opened the window and patted some dust off his hands. This was left behind when the stone was formed.
Getting up and opening the door, Shao Xuan followed the other person to the chief.
Shao Xuan placed the crystal on the table by the window. The Yang Guang outside the window shone in and shone on the stone. The entire stone seemed to be bathed in a layer of warm light.
On the other side, Shao Xuan was called to the chief's place. When he entered the house, there were already many people there, similar to the last time he came. Duo Kang, Guang Yi and other important members of the hunting team, as well as a few respected elders of the tribe, were all sitting there. There were a few more people from the hunting group, but the Shaman did not join in the fun.
"Shao Xuan, come over here!" Chief Zheng Luo pointed at the seat next to him.
In the past, this seat belonged to the Shaman. Even if the Shaman didn't come, no one dared to sit there. This was the first time Duo Kang and the others had seen someone sitting in that position, and the shamaness and the leader didn't even say anything.
As an elder, he had the right to do so.
This time, Zheng Luo had called Shao Xuan over to discuss the trade at the slave owners' territory. They would not go to the Royal City. Ever since they got into trouble there, they had not been there all these years. However, they still went to other cities a few times a year.
It was impossible for everyone to go, so they were here to discuss the list of people who would go, as well as some things to take note of. This kind of meeting would be held twice before departure. Today was an impromptu meeting, so they didn't inform them beforehand.
"I heard that there's more demand for white animal skins this year. Do you have any white animal skins left? Sort them out properly and raise the price when the time comes. "The chief told everyone what he heard.
After hunting, the tribesmen would hoard the fur they didn't need. White fur was their least favorite. First, it was easy to get dirty, and second, it was too conspicuous. Wearing it in the forest was like looking for death. However, white beasts were rare in the forest, and most of them appeared in the winter, or in the snowy mountains further away. Who would go there for no reason?
"Chief, do you still want spotted ones?" Duo Kang asked, rubbing his hands. Their family had hoarded a lot of spotted animal skins this year. Last year, the slave owners liked this color, so they sold it at a high price. As for the other colors, they kept it for themselves.
"Well," Zheng Luo thought about what he heard. "I heard that they don't like it this year."
Duo Kang stopped rubbing his hands, the smile on his face crumbling. "Why do they change every year?"
Zheng Luo ignored Duo Kang's annoyance and turned to Shao Xuan. "Shao Xuan, you came to the tribe late, so you didn't hoard much. You don't have anything to sell, but you can come and take a look. You can help everyone when the time comes."
Zheng Luo hoped that Shao Xuan could learn more about the situation here, but he was also worried that Shao Xuan wouldn't have anything to sell. If Shao Xuan went there and saw the other people in the tribe selling happily, Shao Xuan wouldn't feel good just by looking at them.
"Don't worry, I know." Shao Xuan smiled.
Duo Kang and Guang Yi looked up at Shao Xuan at the same time, but didn't say anything.
After the meeting, the chief invited everyone for a meal. The meat was the bone beast meat that Shao Xuan brought out. They ate, drank, and chatted.
Although there weren't many seasonings here, the tribesmen were smart enough to add some fruits and leaves to the soup. It tasted good. Shao Xuan had to learn from them.
"I haven't eaten it in so many years, it still tastes the same!" An elder said, smacking his lips.
Another elder also talked about how they hunted bone beasts years ago. He even told Shao Xuan where the bones could be used.
Shao Xuan stayed at the top of the mountain until sunset. It was getting dark before he returned to his house.
However, when he returned, he found many people surrounding his house.
"What's going on?" Shao Xuan asked.
"Hey, Shao Xuan, you're finally back!" Duo Li squeezed through the crowd and ran over excitedly, "Elder Shao Xuan, what's that in your house?"
Although the house wasn't locked, they didn't dare to enter. Even if the windows were open, they wouldn't dare to pick up the glowing thing. They weren't close enough to Shao Xuan to take things from him. Besides, Shao Xuan was an Elder, second only to the shaman and the chief. How could they just take things from an Elder's house?!
That was why they could only suppress their curiosity when they saw the glowing stone. Now that Shao Xuan was back, they were all excited.
"In the house?" Shao Xuan didn't quite understand. He looked towards the house and understood. Although there were many people blocking the view, they could still see the light coming from the windows.
Water moon stone?!
No, that wasn't it. The light wasn't exactly the same as the water moon stone. The color of the light was less cold and had a hint of warmth.
The crowd in front of him was curious. When they saw Shao Xuan coming over, they quickly made way and fought to ask their own questions.
Without answering the chattering Chacha, Shao Xuan opened the door and walked over to pick up the crystal on the table.
Even Shao Xuan was puzzled. It wasn't like this before he left. The stone wasn't this bright during the day. Why was it so bright at night? It was almost as bright as the water moon stone.
He looked at the other two stones on the table. They were still two very ordinary stones. They didn't shine at all and were inconspicuous.
Seeing Duo Li and the others craning their necks to look at them with expectant and curious eyes, Shao Xuan passed the crystal to them.
When the crystal was in Shao Xuan's hands, the others didn't dare to touch it. But when Duo Li took it, everyone started fighting for it. Especially those who were close to Duo Li. They all squeezed over, wanting to take a look for themselves.
It wasn't good to make a ruckus in front of Shao Xuan. Duo Li hurriedly spoke to Shao Xuan. After Shao Xuan agreed, he took the stone to a more spacious area outside the house and left with the noisy crowd.
Once the crowd left, the surroundings became much quieter.
Shao Xuan sat by the table and picked up the other two stones, wondering what was going on.
