After finishing the Stone Scripture and asking Du Huaiyuan some questions, Wang Linchi left.
Du Huaiyuan didn't try to keep him, let alone suggest they try to survive together. They were merely trading partners. Du Huaiyuan was already wary of Wang Linchi. Given the power disparity, if Wang Linchi were to join them, he would soon dominate. Du Huaiyuan didn't know if they would end up as his slaves. Du Huaiyuan naturally didn't want his life and death to be in someone else's hands.
Wang Linchi didn't have such complex thoughts; he simply felt Du Huaiyuan was no longer valuable and thus departed.
According to the Stone Scripture, in the era of Du's ancestors, meteorites from beyond the heavens were rare, but there were still channels to obtain them. That's why, in that era, many magical stone sculptures appeared, even becoming a trend for a time.
