Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 1367

Hank didn't like waiting and instructed the assistant, "Then bring me the raw stones he set aside."

The assistant was careful not to offend Hank and quickly sent the manager to fetch the stones. Jonty had also given prior instructions.

Once the assistant left, Brooklynn turned back to Hank. "Are you here to buy raw stones? My workshop has a selection of fine raw stone pieces. Why don't you come and take a look?"

"No need," Hank replied curtly and kept his gaze forward. He wasn't that dumb to follow some dubious Stone Spirit to her lair.

Brooklynn's eyes flickered with annoyance. Her gaze landed on the MIni Stone Turtle in his arms, and she pressed on. "I understand why you're buying raw stones; it's to nurture the emerald pendant, right? It's still in the early stages of enlightenment.

"Now that it hasn't taken shape, it needs raw stones with special spiritual energy. Ordinary raw stones won't suffice. You'd do better asking for my help.

"As the Stone Spirit, no one would know better than me how to nurture it."

Hank was briefly speechless. Despite her wariness, her words held some truth. "You know how to nurture it?"

Brooklynn's heart leaped at seeing him waver, but she maintained a composed demeanor. "Of course. Let me teach you instead of fumbling around on your own. Consider it repayment for Shannon's forgiveness the other day."

Hank had to admit he was tempted. He hadn't expected the Mini Stone Turtle to stand a chance at being enlightened, let alone communicate only through vague dreams of hunger. He was eager to figure out what it was.

"Could you teach me how to choose raw stones?" He was tired of running around with an emerald pendant in his arms. It was downright silly.

"Of course," Brooklynn replied with a flash of calculation in her eyes. "But every stone spirit has unique needs for spiritual energy. If you let me touch it, I can establish a connection and understand its current state."

She extended a hand toward him. With her abilities, she could create an identical copy of the Mini Stone Turtle as long as she made contact. Then, she'd find the opportunity to plan a seamless swap.
