Nodding stones

On a Western Desert rocky beach, a rank three Gu Master pursues Han Li and shouts for him to put down three nodding stones. The elder treats those three nodding stones as materials to refine rank five Gu and as very valuable goods if sold. He spends two years of lifespan for emergency primeval essence rather than let Han Li escape with them, and he holds back a killing stone fist partly for fear of shattering the nodding stones. ^{ch. 823}
