Chapter 60: Thorough Awakening
Chen Lingxi slowly channeled spiritual qi into the stone shaped like a throwing knife.
The spiritual qi flowed from his dantian, surged along the meridians of his right arm, and seeped through his palm into the stone.
A faint glimmer rippled across the stone's surface. It was incredibly weak, flashing just once before fading away.
The spiritual qi vanished like a stone dropped into the ocean, yielding no further reaction.
Chen Lingxi frowned. Pushing the spiritual qi a bit harder, he channeled it in once more.
The stone trembled slightly, and the faint light flared for another instant. Then the spiritual qi dissolved soundlessly into the depths of the stone, vanishing without a trace.
He tried seven or eight times. Every attempt ended with the exact same result.
The stone was like a ravenous beast that could never be fed. It swallowed every drop of spiritual qi he poured into it, yet refused to reveal even a hint of anything miraculous.
Chen Lingxi pulled his hand back and looked down at the stone resting in his palm.
