In the center of Jukun City, stood a white tower, towering into the clouds and piercing the sky.

Inside a side hall of the tower, a figure flickered, and Su Liu's form emerged.

Beside him, a man dressed in a white Confucian robe was leisurely sitting on a chair, sipping spiritual tea. Seeing Su Liu appear, he didn't stand up and said slowly:

"You deliberately let those two leave, didn't you?"

"You saw it?" Su Liu glanced at the man in the Confucian robe and said noncommittally.

"Although that purple-clad cultivator possesses the Law of Space, with your strength, you could have kept them. Why did you do that? Those old fellows are not as easily fooled as Gongshu Tian. If this matter is known above, it may be detrimental to you," the man in the Confucian robe said.

"That purple-clad cultivator's identity is not ordinary. It would be more troublesome to capture him. Even if this matter is known above, they won't blame me," Su Liu said.

"Oh? Who is that person?" the man in the Confucian robe asked, somewhat surprised.

"Guangyuanzhai," Su Liu only said three words.

"What? Are you sure?" The man in the Confucian robe was finally moved upon hearing this.

"I have my own measure in doing things," Su Liu said.

"What about the Silver Fox? He's a notorious offender on the Zhuxiantai List. Even if you didn't want to keep that purple-clad cultivator, there's no reason not to keep the Silver Fox, right?" the man in the Confucian robe asked again.

"I said, I have my own measure in doing things. Since I didn't keep the Silver Fox, there's a reason for not keeping him. You'll understand later," Su Liu said in a slightly cold voice.

The man in the Confucian robe smiled wryly and shook his head. Seeing that Su Liu was unwilling to say more, he didn't ask any further questions.

...

Jukun City, in a secret room.

"This world is getting more chaotic. If this continues, who will dare to attend Yukun Tower's auction? I must report this matter later. At worst, we'll cancel our cooperation with Heishan Immortal Palace, otherwise Baizao Mountain's reputation will be ruined sooner or later," Jingyang Shangren said while activating the secret room's restrictions.

"Daoist Jingyang, calm down. You've always been too lazy to get involved in this auction. You can just ignore it in the future and enjoy a leisurely life in Xianyun Mountain," Han Li said with a laugh.

He seemed relaxed and casual on the surface, but he was somewhat fearful in his heart. If he had competed fiercely with the black-robed person for the "Myriad Soul Grass" at the auction, he would have been the one surrounded and captured by the Immortal Palace's people just now.

"Alas, Xianyun Mountain is not what it used to be," Jingyang Shangren sighed.

"Let's not talk about these vexing matters. Why don't we take a look at the treasure you bought with a great deal of money?" Han Li changed the subject.

"Daoist Li, the more I look at you, the less you seem like a Dan Master and more like a businessman," Jingyang Shangren raised an eyebrow and asked.

"Who isn't a calculating businessman when cultivating in the mountains?" Han Li asked with a smile.

"Haha, you…" Jingyang Shangren shook his head with a wry smile.

After saying that, he flipped his hand and took out an octagonal box the size of a palm. He pressed his palm in the center of the box, and the box body made a "pop" sound, separating into eight triangular leaves from the center, spreading out in all directions like a flower.

Han Li stood aside, a faint blue light lit up deep in his eyes, focusing on every spiritual紋 on the octagonal box and every subtle movement of Jingyang Shangren.

Jingyang Shangren turned the opened octagonal box upside down on the ground, and with two fingers together, he was about to point at the box when his movements suddenly froze and stopped in place.

Han Li realized that he had stopped moving and naturally understood what was happening. He then joked with a smile:

"What? Are you afraid that I'll learn your trick of opening magic treasures? Even if I can't understand what you're doing, even if I understand it, I can't get the same space magic treasure as you, right?"

"Hehe, that's true. Actually, this method is not a profound skill. It's just that it's highly targeted. Not many people in Baizao Mountain are willing to learn it. Even if you learn it, I'm afraid it won't be of any use in the future," Jingyang Shangren said with a smile.

"There's such a method? Isn't that like a chicken rib? Is there a story in this?" Han Li raised an eyebrow and asked.

Jingyang Shangren had already begun to fiddle with the octagonal box again, but stopped his movements after hearing this.

"It doesn't matter if I tell you, it's not a secret. I told you before that this thing that looks like a beast bone is a space magic treasure, but that's not entirely accurate. It should be said to be a Treasure of the Cave Heavens," he said after hesitating for a moment.

"Treasure of the Cave Heavens?"

Han Li was stunned upon hearing this and soon thought of another treasure, the "Mountain and Sea Pearl."

This Mountain and Sea Pearl was originally a sacred object of the Kongyu tribe, a top-notch treasure that could hold giant mountains and seas inside. If this beast bone was also such a treasure, then it would truly be priceless.

It was a pity that he couldn't carry it with him when he ascended to the Immortal World, so he left the pearl in the Spirit World.

Jingyang Shangren saw that Han Li was stunned for a moment and thought that he didn't know the origin of the Treasure of the Cave Heavens, so he explained:

"Different from ordinary space magic treasures, the space inside the Treasure of the Cave Heavens is often larger. The天地 Spiritual Qi can circulate on its own, so living beings can survive freely in it and can be used to plant Spiritual Herbs and raise Spirit Beasts."

Han Li was naturally clear about the difference between the two, but he still nodded to show that he understood.

"In the Immortal Territory, the price of the Treasure of the Cave Heavens is often very expensive, but the number is not small. If I use the Baizao Mountain's connections to buy it, it would be extremely easy. But Daoist Li, do you know why I am so nervous about this Treasure of the Cave Heavens?" Jingyang Shangren took the initiative to ask with interest.

"How would I know that? But seeing you compete with others without regard for Immortal Essence Stones, I know it must have a great origin," Han Li shook his head and said calmly.

"That's right. This beast bone is named 'Yuzhi', and it is one of the four Treasures of the Cave Heavens cast by Jie Jinyuan, the third generation master of our Baizao Mountain. The other three are 'Huazhi', 'Niaozhi', and 'Chongzhi', collectively known as the 'Flowers, Birds, Fish, and Insects' four branches. Including the branch I recovered, only the 'Huazhi' is still circulating outside, with no news," Jingyang Shangren nodded and said.

"You've given it such an elegant name. It seems that your mountain master is also a wonderful person?" Han Li said with a smile.

"The third generation mountain master is the most eccentric among all the past mountain masters of our Baizao Mountain, and he is also the most admired by the disciples in the sect, except for the founding ancestor. Legend has it that he had extremely high talent in the way of Artifact Crafting, and he had many whimsical ideas when he was still a disciple in the sect, and he was rebuked by the Elder of Passing on Skills for not doing his job properly. Later, he was unexpectedly valued by the second generation mountain master, who took him as a closed disciple and cultivated him with great care, and finally became a generation of ZTE hero of our Baizao Mountain," Jingyang Shangren also revealed a smile on his face and said.

"After saying so much, you still haven't said the origin of this strange name? How should this 'Yuzhi' be unlocked?" Han Li nodded thoughtfully and asked.

"I've already said that our third generation mountain master has a strange personality. Who knows what he was thinking? Maybe it was just a whim. Seeing that you're already impatient, I won't talk nonsense. I'll open it now," Daoist Jingyang looked at Han Li and said.

After saying that, he placed the octagonal box on the ground and began to draw around it with his fingers. Soon, a small magic formation with dense and intricate lines appeared on the ground.

Then, he took out the beast bone and placed it on the inverted octagonal box.

"Is opening this Treasure of the Cave Heavens so troublesome?" Han Li frowned slightly.

"If it wasn't troublesome, that ignorant Golden Immortal would have opened it long ago. How could it be our turn to pick up the leak?" Jingyang Shangren said unhappily.

"Daoist Jingyang is right," Han Li nodded.

"See, what's drawn on the ground is called the 'Eight Yuan Disentanglement Formation'. Some Treasures of the Cave Heavens cannot be opened by anyone after the original owner dies. Only by using this method can they be reopened, and then refined again, so that they can be opened and closed at will like a storage ring," Jingyang Shangren pointed to the符阵 on the ground and said.

"I see, I'm just surprised," Han Li said with a smile.

"Okay, don't interrupt. Next is the key to opening it. You can't interfere with me," Jingyang Shangren said with a serious expression.

Han Li then stood silently aside and watched.

Jingyang Shangren's expression became solemn as he pinched magic seals with both hands and silently chanted.

Han Li could vaguely see what he was chanting by observing the opening and closing of his lips, but he didn't know how the magic seals were running, and his brows furrowed.

After a moment, he pointed with both hands, and a white light flew into the beast bone.

The surface of the beast bone immediately bloomed with a layer of brilliant silver light, spreading out and turning the entire bone into a snow-white and translucent color. A gold fish纹路 the size of a copper coin also appeared at the end of the bone joints.

"Daoist Li, wait a moment. After I refine this thing, I'll open it," Jingyang Shangren raised his hand to take the "Yuzhi" and said to Han Li.

Han Li was still thinking about the operation of the magic seals, just nodded and said nothing.

Jingyang Shangren then sat down cross-legged, and with his hands together, he held the jade bone in his palm and began to refine it.

About three hours later, he stood up from the ground, sweating profusely, looking like he had consumed a great deal.

"Haha, Daoist Li, now it's time to reap the rewards and share the money on the spot," his face was ugly, but his eyes were full of joy as he said with a smile.

"Then let's see how lucky we are?" Han Li also rubbed his hands, looking like a财迷.

Jingyang Shangren swiped a single hand on the "Yuzhi", and the jade bone immediately trembled, becoming ethereal and transparent. The brilliant silver light blooming on it turned into a light gate about ten feet high.

Inside the light gate, a hint of emerald green could be vaguely seen, and gusts of breeze blew out from it.

"Please come in, Daoist Li," Jingyang Shangren smiled and stepped into the light gate first, his figure disappearing into it.
