Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 2529

Even high-level instruments required a certain amount of spiritual energy to activate.

In truth, Hector had been secretly trying to cultivate all along. No one, including Shannon and Thalia, knew, but Benjamin did.

Hence, Benjamin had been thinking about how to ease his cultivation journey. Now that Shannon was on a break and the world's chaos had finally settled down, he had finally found the time to refine what he had in mind.

"My true form draws its strength from the Divine Power, while the spiritual energy of the Dragon Vein's heart carries the condensed fortune of the cosmic force," Benjamin explained calmly.

"Even if it can't help you generate your own spiritual energy, it should still serve as a substitute, usable as if it were your own."

He paused, then continued, "Of course, that's just my theory. You'll have to experiment with it yourself to see what's possible."

After all, it wasn't like he had ever made anything like that before.

Hector listened, narrowing his eyes slightly before breaking into a smile. The way his brows arched and eyes curved held a faint resemblance to Shannon.

For once, they actually looked like siblings.

The crystal-pillar pendant sat nicely in his hand. Every facet was precisely cut, perfectly symmetrical, unmistakably Benjamin's craftsmanship.

Still, carrying it around like this was a little convenient. So, he requested, "Put a hole in it for me."

Benjamin paused mid-sip, then turned his head toward Hector with an unimpressed look. His dark eyes nearly rolled, but he restrained himself.

Reaching out with one long, elegant finger, he tapped the crystal lightly. A perfect, tiny hole appeared near the top, clean and centered.

Hector gave a satisfied nod. He pulled the red string off his wrist, threaded it through the pendant, and wrapped it around his wrist three times before tying it in place.

Unbeknownst to them, at the exact moment the red string passed through the stone, thin strands of supernatural energy quietly merged into the crystal, intertwining with the pure spiritual energy within.

Once the bracelet coiled nicely around his wrist, he lifted the glass and clinked it with Benjamin's.

"Thanks, bro," he said casually.

His eyes then narrowed at Benjamin before he added somewhat seriously, "Be good to Shannon. If you two fall out one day, I'm taking her side."

After washing up, Adam lay in bed with Thalia, leaning against the headboard while she recounted everything that had happened that evening.

When she mentioned a woman named Vanya, he raised an eyebrow in curiosity. "You didn't ask what kind of relationship Hector has with her?"

After all, she had been obsessing over Hector's love life earlier that day and even brought up arranging a blind date for him.

Now that a woman, beautiful and from a strong family background, had entered Hector's life, Adam had assumed Thalia would at least show some curiosity.

Then, she replied, "What's there to ask about? He doesn't like her."

Despite her confidence, Adam asked, "How are you so sure that he doesn't? Maybe he's just reserved."

Who knew, perhaps his son had turned out just like him, slow to realize he had developed feelings for someone?

Thalia glanced at him. "Because I'm not like you; my radar is way stronger than yours."

If anything, it was her motherly instinct.
