That was all well within expectation, as Wilbur did not sense any of that powerful energy anymore.
He was just a little unwilling to give up.
Seeing as Cameron and the rest were not back yet, Wilbur sat down on the ground and began to meditate.
There were some new lessons he had learned that he felt the need to digest.
It was later in the evening when the three adventurers returned.
They did not dare to disturb Wilbur's meditation. Instead, they opened their backpacks and placed the seven gems they had found on the ground.
Gems were just like jade. They were a form of rare minerals.
They had been forged through thousands of years and were considered a marvelous sight to behold on their own.
The gems they had found had also been absorbing the essence of the crystal skeleton and contained some mysterious energy.
Wearing the gems as an accessory would be sure to improve any regular mortal's physical health, and even help them live longer.
One of these gems alone could sell for up to a billion dollars.
That was what wealthy folk were after.
However, none of the three adventurers even dared to take those gems for themselves and merely waited for Wilbur to wake up.
It was also then that Wilbur opened his eyes. He saw the crystals on the ground and picked one of them up, running through it with his spirit energy.
The gems did qualify to be contributed for grace points, but it was of little worth.
He gave it some thought and then turned to the three adventurers. "You can each have a gem, and I'll take the rest. How's that?"
Cameron and the others could hardly contain their glee. They would honestly have been content with just one gem for the three of them to share.
Getting one gem each would make them rich.
"Thank you, sir. Thank you so much."
The three adventurers thanked Wilbur profusely. Wilbur picked up four of the gems, handing the remaining three to them.
"Let's go. I don't think there's anything else here anymore."
Cameron and the others nodded happily, following Wilbur outside.
