.
Before, Lin Dong had been the only one using it.
Now, however, the Ancestral Stone had practically become a shared bicycle within the chat group.
With so many people taking turns using it, how could its energy not be drained rapidly?
[Zhu Chen]: Brother Lin Dong, remember to lend me the Ancestral Stone once it's fully recharged. I really need it urgently.
Zhu Chen sent the message helplessly.
Since the stone couldn't be used for the time being, he could only reserve it in advance to avoid someone else borrowing it first.
[Lin Dong]: No problem. Anyone in the group can borrow it—except Tang San.
Lin Dong agreed without hesitation.
He had already promised to lend out the Ancestral Stone. A man's word was his bond—how could he go back on it?
However, there was one person he absolutely refused to lend it to.
Tang San.
Lin Dong felt that Tang San never said anything decent in the group, and his character was clearly questionable.
Especially during the last resource exchange—
Everyone else had contributed their best items.
Yet Tang San had tossed out a worthless cultivation technique to muddle through and even boasted that it was a top-tier method.
He was clearly treating everyone like fools.
[Zhu Chen]: Alright. I'll remember this favor.
[Lin Dong]: What favor? We're all brothers!
[Xiao Yan]: Haha~ Brother Lin Dong is right. Brother Zhu, you're being too polite.
Seeing their replies, Zhu Chen felt slightly moved.
These two were straightforward, honest, loyal, and righteous—true brothers without any scheming hearts.
At that moment, Xiao Yan sent two more messages.
[Xiao Yan]: By the way, Brother Zhu, what do you plan to do with the Ancestral Stone you're so eager to borrow? If it's for alchemy, just send me the herbs. I'll have my teacher refine them for you. He's a peak eighth-grade alchemist—there's basically no pill he can't refine.
[Xiao Yan]: If you don't have enough materials, you can also send me a list. I'll be entering the city soon and can check the pharmacies for you.
After sending those messages, Xiao Yan suddenly remembered Lin Dong's generosity and quietly added another line.
[Xiao Yan]: If anyone else in the group wants high-quality pills, you can also send me the formulas and herbs. I'll have my teacher refine them for you—except Tang San!
Xiao Yan knew that Wang Lin and Han Li were cultivators from immortal worlds and definitely understood alchemy.
But understanding alchemy didn't mean mastering it.
That was why he emphasized "high-quality pills."
Old Master Yao was a peak eighth-grade alchemist—his craftsmanship was guaranteed.
As for Lin Dong's Ancestral Stone, Xiao Yan lost interest once he learned it needed recharging.
Anything that required charging felt like machinery.
How could something machine-like compare to pills refined by hand?
Old Master Yao refined pills personally—quality assured, no tricks involved.
[Zhu Chen]: Thanks, Brother Xiao Yan, but I'm not borrowing the Ancestral Stone for alchemy. I'm using it to repair a cultivation method.
Zhu Chen explained.
Xiao Yan's enthusiasm was so intense that Lin Dong almost felt sorry for Old Master Yao.
When Lin Dong saw that Zhu Chen wanted to use the Ancestral Stone to repair a cultivation technique, his eyes immediately lit up.
[Lin Dong]: Brother Zhu, a technique that you're willing to repair must be extremely powerful, right?
[Zhu Chen]: Yes. Extremely powerful.
[Xiao Yan]: How powerful? How does it compare to Tang San's Crane Control and Dragon Capture Technique?
Xiao Yan asked curiously.
The Vermilion Bird Treasure Technique Zhu Chen had uploaded earlier was already stronger than a Heaven-Rank battle technique.
A method that required borrowing the Ancestral Stone to repair had to be even more impressive.
[Zhu Chen]: Are you here to disgust me? You call that a technique?
[Xiao Yan]: Haha~ sorry, sorry, my mistake. I meant—how does it compare to your Vermilion Bird Treasure Technique?
[Lin Dong]: Was that really a mistake? I think you did it on purpose—but I approve.
[Xiao Yan]: Cough, cough… let's stop here. We're still good brothers.
[Zhu Chen]: The technique I'm repairing this time is called Primal True Explanation. It's not a divine ability or combat art, but a method that assists cultivation.
[Xiao Yan]: A cultivation-assisting method? Isn't that basically the same as my Burning Technique?
