Chapter 163: Treasures in the Brocade Box

At this moment, Manager Tian began to introduce the items in the brocade boxes to Han Li.

"A set of Golden Centipede Mother-Child Blades, one mother blade and eight child blades, made from refined iron and gold, refined by a Core Formation stage expert for three days and three nights. As long as you hold the mother blade, you can control the eight child blades to attack the enemy simultaneously, making it impossible for the opponent to defend against, and it is incomparably sharp." He pointed to a set of pale golden strange blades in a box and introduced them.

Han Li didn't speak, reached out and picked up a child blade to look at it carefully for a while, then nodded and put it down again.

"Mysterious Iron Flying Sky Shield, a very rare defensive magic tool, refined from a large piece of mysterious iron from the Cold Yin Land. Not only is it incomparably solid and unbreakable, but once driven by magic, it can automatically defend around the body." Manager Tian picked up a miniature iron shield the size of a palm and said. Then he handed it to Han Li for him to examine.

Han Li took the shield in his hand, stroked the patterns on it, pondered for a moment, and asked:

"Can I try using it with magic!"

"Of course you can, Brother Li, please feel free to use it!" Manager Tian said very generously.

Since the other party said so, Han Li didn't stand on ceremony and slowly injected spiritual power into the object in his hand.

As a result, the iron shield instantly lit up with black light, expanded several times in the blink of an eye, flew off his palm, and began to circle slowly around him in the air. The size was just right to cover some vital parts of his body.

Han Li was overjoyed and distracted himself slightly to manipulate it. Sure enough, this object could fly up and down automatically as he wished, and it was very small and flexible.

After trying it out, Han Li was very satisfied with this magic tool. What he lacked most now were magic tools like this that could save his life. With this shield, he thought that his chances of survival in the Blood Forbidden Trial could be increased quite a bit.

However, Han Li didn't express anything immediately. He silently put the iron shield back into the box and continued to look forward to the other party's introduction below.

Manager Tian didn't have any dissatisfaction because of Han Li's behavior and still enthusiastically recommended the next item, a blue round bead the size of a pill.

"Heavenly Thunder Bead, condensed by a mysterious cultivator who accidentally intercepted heaven and earth thunder and lightning several hundred years ago. Each grain has great power. It is said that even if a Core Formation stage cultivator resists this thunder head-on, they will be turned into ashes. Originally there were seventy-three grains, but after being passed down to this day, there are very few left. This one was also obtained by our tower after a lot of effort."

After Manager Tian finished saying these words, he couldn't help but reveal a bit of pride, which showed the preciousness and rarity of this thunder bead.

Upon hearing this, Han Li was moved. It could actually kill a Core Formation stage cultivator; such a powerful thing was truly rare and hard to find! If he could get it into his pocket, the forbidden ground trip would be equivalent to having a trump card. It was just that its price was probably shockingly high; otherwise, it wouldn't have remained unsold until now.

After Manager Tian finished introducing the blue thunder bead, he didn't speak anymore, but instead gave Han Li a meaningful look, then picked up a cup of fragrant tea and tasted it slowly. Although there was still a tightly covered brocade box on the table that hadn't been introduced, he didn't mention it at all.

Han Li smiled slightly, knowing the manager's intention, and knew it was time for him to show his strength to the other party; otherwise, the treasure in the last brocade box wouldn't be easily shown to him.

For this trip, to be on the safe side, besides two thousand-year spiritual herbs, Han Li had brought all his spirit stones, including two mid-tier spirit stones and nearly a hundred low-tier spirit stones.

However, Han Li wouldn't easily use these spirit stones; what he relied on was nothing more than those two spiritual herbs.

To tell the truth, although Han Li knew that herbs of over a thousand years were extremely rare in the current cultivation world and should be worth a lot, he really didn't have much of an idea about how many spirit stones they were worth and what kind of magic tools they could be exchanged for.

But he believed that exchanging them for that small shield and the Golden Centipede Mother-Child Blades from the beginning was more than enough. As for the Heavenly Thunder Bead that he wanted to get even more, Han Li had no bottom in his heart.

He didn't take out both spiritual herbs at once, but took out a small wooden box that looked extremely precious from his storage bag, and one of them was placed in this box.

The reason Han Li did this was also because he deeply understood the principle that "people need clothes, Buddha needs gold." He knew that if the packaging was done well, the value of the herbs could be increased by another three points, so he wouldn't suffer a loss.

Han Li didn't open the lid of the box, but handed the whole box directly to the other party.

Manager Tian had been secretly paying attention to Han Li's actions, and seeing this, he didn't say a word, took the box, examined it, and then opened the lid unhurriedly.

"Eh"

After seeing the object in the box clearly, Manager Tian was stunned, but then his expression became displeased.

"Does Brother Li intend to exchange this Yellow Essence Mushroom for the treasures in our tower? This is not a rare item. Unless it's a top-grade one of two or three hundred years or more, it's not worth much at all." Manager Tian said coldly.

Han Li sneered a few times, didn't explain or speak, and just followed the other party's example, poured himself a cup of fragrant tea, and drank it with relish.

Seeing Han Li's fearless behavior, Manager Tian became suspicious. He gathered all his energy and lowered his head again to examine the spiritual herb in the box carefully.

"Hiss"

As Manager Tian looked, he suddenly gasped, stood up from his chair in excitement, took the box to the place with the most sufficient light in the room, and examined it over and over again, muttering to himself: "Impossible, is it really over a thousand years? Or does it just look similar?"

Han Li saw the other party's expression clearly and heard these words, and finally felt relieved. Only then did he confirm that the value of the thousand-year spiritual herb was only higher than he had estimated, and it seemed that there was great hope for getting the thunder bead.

After examining it for a while, Manager Tian suddenly realized his loss of composure, which had revealed quite a bit of his bottom line to the other party.

However, at this moment, he couldn't care about these things anymore. The object in front of him had already attracted all his attention. As long as this object was truly the thousand-year top-grade one he had imagined, he would be willing to pay any price to keep the thousand-year spiritual herb in the Myriad Treasure Tower, which would bring endless benefits to him and the Myriad Treasure Tower.

But now, the only thing that made him difficult was that he had only heard of this thousand-year spiritual herb and had never seen the real thing, so he couldn't absolutely confirm the exact age of the object in the box. However, even if the Yellow Essence Mushroom in front of him wasn't truly over a thousand years old, it definitely had a medicinal age of seven or eight hundred years, which he could confirm.

"Someone come!"

After examining it for a long time, Manager Tian still shouted and called a servant from downstairs.

"Go and invite Elder Ding, and say that there is a treasure here that needs his old man to identify." He ordered solemnly.

Then, during this interval, Manager Tian and Han Li chatted very tacitly, but both avoided talking about the herbs, seemingly forgetting the object in the box for a while.

But not long after, an old man with gray hair, supported by a servant, slowly came upstairs.

As soon as Manager Tian saw him, he immediately bowed and greeted him, and gave his seat to the old man, while he stood on the side, looking like this Elder Ding was truly highly respected.

However, Han Li had already seen that this person was also an ordinary old man like Manager Tian, without any aura of a cultivator.

"Manager Tian, you called out this old man who is about to enter the soil, is there anything else that even you can't identify?" The old man gasped slightly and said tremblingly.
