Although Gu Dong didn't know why he asked such a question, Gu Xinxin quickly responded...

"Yes! You said that the bracelet is very precious, made from something called Spirit Stone."

Previously, Gu Dong had given Gu Xinxin a bracelet, which she often liked to wear.

Because wearing it made Gu Xinxin feel very comfortable...

Upon hearing Gu Xinxin's response, Gu Dong pointed to this box, saying, "Inside this box are Spirit Stones!"

"Impossible!"

As Gu Dong spoke confidently, all the elders of The Valley of the Wicked quickly shook their heads...

While the young people showed a face of confusion.

Because they had never heard of Spirit Stones before, naturally, they didn't know what so-called Spirit Stones were...

And the elders of The Valley of the Wicked had heard of them, which is why they were utterly shocked at this moment!

Knowing they would inevitably question it like this, Gu Dong wasn't very surprised and simply asked with a smile: "Why impossible?"

Upon hearing such a rhetorical question, they exchanged glances and began to gather their words...

Then, one of them spoke slightly hoarsely: "Old Family Head, it's not that we don't believe you, it's just that we had read about Spirit Stones in the books of the Scripture Pavilion!"

Hearing this, Gu Dong laughed, "Then tell me, what did you see about the Spirit Stones?"

"Okay!"

Nodding, they began to explain.

It turns out that so-called Spirit Stones are a product of Spirit Veins.

Spirit Stones contain abundant Spiritual Energy...

They are absolutely scarce items...

Previously, because there were many Spirit Veins, they were not considered particularly rare.

But now, as Spirit Veins become fewer, they are increasingly rare.

They've even begun to disappear completely...

And thus, they had only seen them in books before.

After listening to their words, Gu Dong chuckled, "Yes, Spirit Stones are indeed precious! However, they have not completely disappeared! So, it's quite reasonable to have some here!"

Upon hearing Gu Dong's explanation, they nodded, "We understand this! To be honest, we doubt it now because they look completely different from the Spirit Stones we know!"

"Oh! You mean they look quite ordinary now, right!"

"Yes! Real Spirit Stones should be very transparent!"

"Let Xiaobei explain this to you."

Upon hearing Gu Dong pass the question to him, Hu Xiaobei smiled and said, "Since Grandpa has spoken, I'll talk! The Spirit Stones freshly mined from the Spirit Veins are indeed like that, transparent, but once they sit for a while, their Spiritual Energy falls into dormancy, so it's hard to differentiate them visually."

"Oh... That's how it is!"

"Exactly! These Spirit Stones were buried by Grandpa for decades, so these Spirit Stones have fallen into dormancy. It's not surprising at all that they look ordinary."

With such an explanation, Hu Xiaobei looked again at the nearby Seven-Orifice Exquisite Fruit that was about to die.

This Seven-Orifice Exquisite Fruit is a type of Spirit Tree that demands very high Spiritual Energy.

That's why, before, it really shouldn't have survived here.

But because beneath it, this whole box of Spirit Stones was buried, Spiritual Energy was relatively abundant, and it managed to survive.

Initially, it was small, and its demand for Spiritual Energy wasn't great, so it was doing well!

But as it grew larger, its demand for Spiritual Energy increased...

Thus, its roots began to search everywhere for more abundant Spiritual Energy.

Its roots are very sensitive to Spiritual Energy, so they quickly found the buried box.

Having found it, they sensed the abundant Spiritual Energy within this box.

But unfortunately, they couldn't open it, so gradually, it began to wither, and eventually, it was about to die...

During its withering, Gu Dong and the people from The Valley of the Wicked had tried to save it, but such treatments didn't target the real issue...

So although they continuously attempted to save it, it was truly meaningless...

Thus, its condition worsened...

To be honest, if Hu Xiaobei hadn't recognized what it really was now, it would be completely dead in just a few more months...

...

Soon, Gu Dong learned the reason behind everything...

Somewhat suddenly enlightened, he nodded and muttered slightly in amazement, "So this Seven-Orifice Exquisite Fruit grew because of this box full of Spirit Stones!"

"Yes!"

Receiving an absolutely affirmative answer, his eyes lit up, and he asked excitedly in a low voice, "So... now, with these Spirit Stones, can it continue to live well?"

Understanding Gu Dong's current apprehension, Hu Xiaobei smiled and said directly, "Of course! With these Spirit Stones, not only can I make it live well, but I can also give you a surprise!"

"Surprise? What surprise?"

"I won't tell you now, but Grandpa, you'll know soon!"

After saying this, Hu Xiaobei bent over and took out seven Spirit Stones from the box...

Seeing Hu Xiaobei take out so many Spirit Stones, they knew that Hu Xiaobei was preparing to do something.

Thus, without needing Hu Xiaobei to speak and order, they sensibly retreated a few steps...

Seeing them step back, Hu Xiaobei smiled.

Soon, Hu Xiaobei closed his eyes...

At this moment, Hu Xiaobei truly had a plan, and this plan was to form an Array...

The Seven-Orifice Exquisite Fruit Tree was already on the verge of death, so he had to quickly find a way to restore it.

To revive it, a great amount of Spiritual Energy is needed.

Such a huge amount of Spiritual Energy he couldn't provide, but these Spirit Stones could, so he now needed to set up an Array to stimulate their Spiritual Power, allowing them to pour crazily into the Seven-Orifice Exquisite Fruit Tree...

Setting up an Array requires many preparations, so Hu Xiaobei did not rush but quickly detailed various steps in his mind...

...

"What's Xiaobei planning to do!"

Gu Xinxin saw Hu Xiaobei close his eyes and quietly asked Gu Dong who stood by.

Upon hearing such a slightly surprised question, Gu Dong said, "Regarding this, we'll know soon! Rest assured, Xiaobei won't disappoint us."

"That's... really true!"

Slightly thinking, Gu Xinxin smiled sweetly...

In that instant, two adorable dimples appeared on her rosy cheeks...

Hu Xiaobei didn't know they were talking...

At this moment, he had thoroughly thought through all the details of the Array...

The instant he figured it out, Hu Xiaobei reopened his eyes.

Feeling Hu Xiaobei's calmness and composure, everyone was completely relieved...

They didn't know exactly what Hu Xiaobei would do, but they believed Hu Xiaobei would definitely succeed...

A minute later, Hu Xiaobei started forming the Array, meanwhile placing all the Spirit Stones he held into the newly arranged Array.

Watching this gradually forming Array, Hu Xiaobei's lips slightly twitched.

"Darn it, this really is an absolutely luxurious Array!"

Previously, Hu Xiaobei had formed Arrays more than once, but he had never used Spirit Stones...

Now, suddenly using so many precious Spirit Stones, Hu Xiaobei truly felt very distressed...
