He felt a familiarity in the old man's aura, although slightly different, Chen Xuan was certain he belonged to the Human Race!
"Greetings, Lord Priest!"
Surprisingly, even though the old man was from the Human Race, Shi Lin showed him great respect.
Slightly bowing in ritual salute!
Following the Human Race's etiquette.
"Little Lin'Er is here!"
The old man showed a kind smile and even stretched out his withered hand to touch Shi Lin's head.
And she cooperatively bowed her head slightly.
Chen Xuan was stunned at this scene.
Shi Lin of the Royal Family, to show such humility before a mber of the Human Race.
"There's a big problem here!"
"Who is this old man?"
A huge question arose in Chen Xuan's heart.
An old man from the Human Race holding such high status among the Stone Race, it's hard to believe.
"Hmm, you've made great progress, there's also great hope."
The white-haired old man withdrew his hand from Shi Lin's head and said with a smile.
"Thank you, Lord Priest, for your guidance!"
Shi Lin replied respectfully, without Lord Priest's guidance, she wouldn't have been able to purify her Crystal Stone to this extent.
"The greatest reward for this old man is to see a genius lead the Stone Race out of its plight!"
"By the way, is he the one the Third Ancestor has taken interest in?"
For the first ti, the old man's gaze fell on Chen Xuan.
Instantly!
His innate discretion activated to the extre, intuition told him this old man was not simple.
Monts later!
The old man nodded with satisfaction, "Quite good, didn't expect such a pure Crystal Stone from a lesser na, hope has grown a bit more."
The Third Ancestor discovered Jiang Tian by chance.
Afterwards, he specially brought in a Priest, and the two studied for a long ti.
In their conclusion, his and Shi Lin's Crystal Stones were highly compatible and his own was exceptionally pure.
Thus, Jiang Tian's strength soared in a short ti.
This was due to the Third Ancestor secretly providing him with nurous resources.
Jiang Tian was unaware of this, believing that Shi Lin provided everything, thus feeling extrely grateful to her.
"Yes!"
Shi Lin replied softly, then waved to Chen Xuan, "Co and greet Lord Priest!"
Though reluctant at heart, knowing the closer he got, the greater the risk, he had no choice but to step forward and salute, "Greetings, Lord Priest!"
Exactly the sa, the old man stretched out his hand once more.
Chen Xuan instantly tensed.
Even prepared to activate the copper coins given by Liu Sheng at any mont.
The old man placed his hand on his forehead, a warm force surged, then moved to his chest.
Chen Xuan simulated the expected reaction of the Crystal Stone.
Monts later, the old man withdrew his hand, appearing slightly surprised.
"How is it, Lord Priest?"
Shi Lin imdiately asked.
"Quite good, much purer than before, better than expected!"
"Really!?"
Shi Lin was overjoyed, this was excellent, and she felt more confident.
"Go ahead, with the Third Ancestor's intervention, there's a greater chance."
With that, the old man smiled and walked away.
Shi Lin watched him leave until he completely disappeared from view, then said to Chen Xuan, "Follow inside!"
They entered the main hall.
It wasn't as lavish as imagined, but had a primitive feel; everything in sight was made of stone.
And the lighting was quite dim.
With Shi Lin leading, they turned left and right until they reached the deepest part of the hall.
A massive altar appeared.
On the altar sat a bald, burly man, eyes closed.
Shi Lin kneeled with both knees, "Greetings, Third Ancestor!"
Though Chen Xuan was inwardly unwilling, he had to endure and kneel down.
Seeing this, the Third Ancestor slowly opened his eyes, "Rise!"
A resounding voice echoed in their ears.
Chen Xuan, constantly observing Shi Lin, noticed her entire deanor change after hearing the Third Ancestor, akin to an ardent believer.
Upon seeing this, Chen Xuan quickly mirrored the sa expression.
Once they rose slowly, the Third Ancestor looked at Chen Xuan, and monts later, a smile surfaced on his face.
"Not bad!"
Shi Lin was even more excited now.
With the Lord Priest and the Third Ancestor both approving, there was trendous hope.
Yet at this mont, Chen Xuan wondered internally whether the praise was about the Crystal Stone simulation on his chest or sothing else.
He constantly felt that the Third Ancestor's gaze seed peculiar.
"Still, it's slightly lacking!"
His words left Shi Lin slightly taken aback, swiftly inquiring, "Ancestor, is there a solution?"
Lacking slightly? Unacceptable!
It must not lack!
She must produce the finest Crystal Stone, for it is the hope the Stone Race places in her.
Long ago, Lord Priest prophesized she might be the greatest hope for the Stone Race in millennia.
However, the Third Ancestor did not answer her but instead asked Chen Xuan, "For the Stone Race, are you willing to sacrifice everything? Including your Crystal Stone!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan, without a mont of hesitation, sincerely like a devotee, replied, "Reporting to the Third Ancestor, Jiang Tian is willing to give everything, all for the Stone Race!"
Fearing disbelief, Chen Xuan further vowed,
"Jiang Tian swears by the na of the Ancestor of the Stone Race, if there's any reluctance, let him turn into stone, to be used by the people!"
Facing his stance, the Third Ancestor nodded with satisfaction; before him, no one could lie, especially not soone of a lower surna.
