Chapter 819: Seven Flame Fan
“Could it be, Brother Lu, that you have another way to divide the spoils?” Han Li’s eyes flickered slightly as he said calmly.
“If the jade box and the medicine bottle are also ancient treasures, then the three of us each taking two treasures wouldn’t be a problem. But now, inside the jade box and the medicine bottle…”
“The contents inside the jade box and medicine bottle are unknown to us. Naturally, we should open them first and then divide the treasures according to their value,” the Marquis of Nanlong suddenly interrupted, speaking what seemed to be a fair statement.
The old man surnamed Lu furrowed his brow at this but soon nodded repeatedly.
“That is exactly what I mean. What do you think, Fellow cultivator Han?”
“I have no objections. Let’s go with what you two say!” Han Li responded without much thought.
“Fellow cultivator Han is so straightforward. Then this marquis shall see what’s inside.” Hearing Han Li’s prompt agreement, the Marquis of Nanlong was also satisfied.
He immediately reached out, and the white jade box flew into his hand with a “whoosh.” Then, he slapped the top of the box to open the lid.
But the moment his palm touched the lid, a flash of white light suddenly appeared, and a layer of misty white glow surfaced, instantly pushing his hand back.
“Eh! This box is sealed with a restriction,” the Marquis of Nanlong was taken aback. After pondering briefly, he forced golden light to flash on his hand as he tried to grab the lid again.
Once more, a white mist appeared, intertwining with the golden light on his hand momentarily.
However, after a short while, the mist clearly couldn’t withstand the golden light, and the golden hand slowly grasped the lid, forcibly prying it open.
The white mist immediately dissipated without a trace.
Han Li’s gaze sharpened as he immediately saw what was inside the box — an ancient jade slip, slightly yellowed with age.
Under the astonished gaze of the old man surnamed Lu, the Marquis of Nanlong hesitated for a moment before delicately pinching the jade slip out with two fingers and pressing it against his forehead.
In an instant, his spiritual awareness swept through the contents of the jade slip, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.
“The two of you should take a look as well!” The Marquis of Nanlong quickly moved the jade slip aside to avoid suspicion and then tossed it to Han Li.
Han Li’s expression shifted as he took the jade slip and immersed his spiritual awareness into it.
But moments later, he frowned slightly and handed the jade slip back to the old man.
Lu Weiying also quickly scanned the contents of the jade slip.
“‘Seven Flame Fan’—what kind of ancient treasure is this? I’ve never heard of it. Is this treasure very powerful?” The old man murmured, his mouth twitching before he finished reading.
“That’s unclear. But since the refining method is so carefully recorded on this jade slip, and most of the materials listed are spiritual materials, it should be quite formidable, right?” The Marquis of Nanlong said uncertainly.
“No matter how powerful it is, it’s useless. The refining of this treasure requires an overwhelming amount of spiritual materials. Although the slip also contains methods to consecrate these materials, it actually needs eighty-one types of fire-attribute spiritual materials to be fused and refined, plus numerous auxiliary materials. Some of these seem to have long been extinct in this world. This jade slip is basically rubbish now, only useful for research in artifact refining,” the old man surnamed Lu shook his head and then tossed the jade slip back to the Marquis of Nanlong.
The Marquis of Nanlong smiled and nodded in agreement as he casually placed the jade slip back into the jade box.
“Seven Flame Fan? Master, does this slip really record the refining method of that treasure?” Just as Han Li was about to dismiss the jade slip as useless, a voice suddenly rang in his mind with Silver Moon’s extreme excitement.
