"Prepare the Spirit Stones you can use; we'll need them soon," Li Zhirui said after a moment of silence.
Sensing that things might be going differently than he had expected, Li Darong carefully asked, "Has something happened to Ancestor Zhiyue?"
"Yes, Zhiyue was injured during her training outside and accidentally had her lower leg severed. I plan to borrow the clan's Spirit Stones first to buy Spiritual Objects to heal her, and repay the debt later by any means necessary."
Such a big incident could not be hidden, especially from Li Darong, the Clan Leader in charge of finances.
Without asking further, Li Darong reassured, "Ancestor, be at ease, I will gather as many Spirit Stones as possible."
"Thank you for your hard work."
Patting his shoulder in gratitude, Li Zhirui said, "I'll head back now. When you have time, mention this matter to the Elders."
