"Regarding how to divide these things, do you two have any thoughts?" Lin Shiqi licked his somewhat dry lips and said.

"Let's see what's in these jade bottles and that jade box first," Lin Jiu said, grabbing a white jade bottle and removing the lid.

Han Li also picked up another jade bottle and opened the lid.

Two identical fragrances spread out from the two bottles, and the three of them felt refreshed and invigorated.

The two jade bottles each contained more than ten yellowish-orange pills, the size of a thumb, with a faint shimmering light on the surface.

Although Han Li didn't recognize the name of this pill, based on his alchemy experience, this yellow pill should be a cultivation-enhancing pill, and its efficacy was definitely far above the Tongyuan Pill.

"This is... the Huachen Pill, which is very useful for True Immortal cultivators to condense Immortal Apertures!" Lin Shiqi said with a slight joy.

"I'm afraid it was intended for Ping Yaozi himself," Lin Jiu nodded.

As he spoke, he put the white jade bottle back in its place, picked up the purple jade box again, carefully examined the silver talisman attached to the box, and waved his hand to cast several spells.

As a result, a layer of silver light suddenly appeared on the jade box, deflecting the spells.

"This..."

Lin Jiu uttered a soft exclamation, pondered for a moment, stretched out a palm and placed it on the jade box, chanting words in his mouth, and then a golden light burst out from his palm.

Han Li and Lin Shiqi exchanged glances, both seeing a hint of curiosity in each other's eyes.

According to common sense, the more tightly preserved the jade box is, the more unusual the things inside are.

Lin Jiu obviously saw this point, and was obviously planning to use a slightly forceful method to try to break the restriction on the jade box.

As a low incantation came out of his mouth, a dazzling silver light rose from the jade box, intertwined with the golden light emanating from the palm placed on it, emitting a series of crackling sounds, actually blocking all the golden light.

Lin Jiu frowned, and the golden light in his palm suddenly brightened, faintly revealing golden runes.

However, strangely, the silver light emitted from the jade box also intensified, making a clanging sound, and still showed no sign of being broken.

Lin Jiu's face darkened, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, rolling down his cheeks, but his palm did not leave the jade box, and the golden light it emitted began to become more and more dazzling.

But the silver light on the jade box also rolled erratically, gradually releasing a dazzling light.

A look of surprise flashed in Han Li's eyes, obviously not expecting the restriction on this small jade box to be so mysterious that even Lin Jiu, a True Immortal Realm late-stage cultivator, seemed to be somewhat helpless.

After a while, the golden light on Lin Jiu's hand was so dazzling that it was difficult to look directly at it, and the silver light seemed to have finally reached its limit, beginning to be covered by the golden light, becoming somewhat dim.

Lin Jiu was first delighted, but the next moment his face suddenly changed, and he immediately took his palm away.

The silver light on the jade box flickered a few times, and in the blink of an eye, it returned to its original appearance.

"Fellow Daoist Lin Jiu, why did you stop?" Lin Shiqi asked in confusion.

After all, judging from the situation just now, it was clear that the silver light restriction was about to be broken.

"The person who set up this restriction is quite cunning, actually hiding a self-destruction restriction in the deepest part. If I hadn't been prepared and stopped in time, this jade box and its contents would have vanished into thin air," Lin Jiu shook his head and said.

"There's such a thing!" Lin Shiqi's expression sank upon hearing this.

Ping Yaozi had already been killed, so where could they find the method to open it? Especially since this matter involved the Immortal Palace, it was even more troublesome.

Han Li also frowned.

"Based on my experience, it's not entirely impossible. It requires careful consideration and thorough preparation, and maybe a try... I'm powerless. If you two are willing, you can try," Lin Jiu shook his head and handed the jade box over.

A look of interest appeared in Lin Shiqi's eyes, and he was the first to reach out and take the jade box, his hand glowing with a yellow light, enveloping the purple jade box.

Silver light immediately appeared on the jade box, resisting the yellow light, and the two intertwined.

A solemn look appeared in his eyes, and the yellow light in his hand gradually brightened, chanting words in his mouth, and streaks of spells flew out, pouring into the box.

The silver light emitted from the purple jade box immediately brightened, resisting the intrusion of these spells.

After an incense stick's time, a layer of sweat had appeared on Lin Shiqi's forehead, and his hands were churning like wheels, forming strands of yellow light that enveloped the jade box.

Those yellow light strands, upon closer inspection, were actually composed of countless yellow runes.

Under the wrapping of these yellow light strands, the silver light on the jade box was suppressed bit by bit.

Seeing this, Lin Jiu's eyes lit up, and Han Li couldn't help but step forward.

At this moment, the silver runes on the jade box flashed, and suddenly burst into light, shaking away the surrounding yellow light strands.

The yellow light strands trembled and shattered inch by inch.

"What kind of ghostly restriction is this? It's simply故弄玄虚!" Lin Shiqi's face darkened, he snorted, but he didn't continue to try forcefully and retracted his palm.

Seeing this, Lin Jiu sighed with some disappointment and looked at Han Li, saying:

"Fellow Daoist Jiao Fifteen, why don't you give it a try? Maybe you'll succeed."

"Fellow Daoist, be careful, if you break it, it will be counted in the distribution quota," Lin Shiqi said with a dry laugh, handing the jade box to Han Li.

"I'll give it a try. But since the two of you couldn't succeed, I probably won't be able to either," Han Li said indifferently, reaching out to take the jade box and waving his hand to cast a stream of azure light, enveloping the jade box.

His hands pinched gestures sometimes quickly and sometimes slowly, and strands of azure light shrouded the jade box.

A silver light rose from the jade box, blocking the azure light.

The azure light and silver light intertwined, flickering uncertainly.

However, in just five or six breaths, the silver light on the jade box suddenly burst out, tearing apart all the surrounding azure light.

"Alas, it seems I'm also powerless," Han Li shook his head and placed the jade box back on the ground.

"Since this jade box restriction cannot be broken, it's not appropriate to force it. Now that time is short, let's discuss the distribution of the remaining treasures," Lin Jiu sighed and said.

"In this operation, we will follow Fellow Daoist Lin Jiu's lead. I don't know what your opinion is on how to distribute these things?" Han Li said.

Lin Shiqi also looked at Lin Jiu.

"There are many spiritual herbs, materials, pills... and Immortal Origin Stones, which are easy to handle and can be divided equally. The more troublesome things are this golden pill furnace, these magical treasures, and this jade box," Lin Jiu said, pondering.

"This is not difficult to handle. There are exactly three of us, one takes the pill furnace, one gets the magical treasures, and the remaining one takes the jade box, how about that?" Lin Shiqi said immediately.

"Fellow Daoist's suggestion is not bad, but who takes the pill furnace and who takes the magical treasures?" Lin Jiu asked leisurely.

"You two, I have always been very interested in the way of alchemy, so I'll take this pill furnace, how about that?" Lin Shiqi said, cupping his hands.

"That's really a coincidence, I'm also passionate about alchemy," Lin Jiu said with a flash in his eyes, smiling meaningfully.

Lin Shiqi's expression sank upon hearing this.

Han Li stood aside calmly, his mind racing.

There was no comparability between these three choices. The golden pill furnace was the highest in grade, appearing to be an Immortal Artifact, so its value was naturally the greatest. The so-called interest in alchemy was just an excuse.

He was now planning to use alchemy to break through his cultivation bottleneck, so he was naturally very tempted by this treasure.

However, he was now just watching coldly, without any intention of vying for the pill furnace.

Because when his divine sense swept over the pill furnace, he actually discovered that there seemed to be something hidden within it. This feeling was quite similar to the nameless black long knife he had obtained from Fang Pan back then.

Combined with the previous protection of Ping Yaozi by Gu Jie, the Golden Immortal of the Immortal Palace, it was difficult to guarantee that something had been done to the pill furnace.

If he were to increase the possibility of being tracked down by a Golden Immortal because of greed for this treasure, he would never take this risk. Therefore, he forcibly suppressed the greed in his heart.

However, with Lin Shiqi's True Immortal Realm mid-stage cultivation and divine sense, he may not have discovered it, but Lin Jiu, as a True Immortal Realm late-stage cultivator, was meticulous and discerning. Could it be that he didn't notice any clues at all?

"I've been trapped in a bottleneck for many years, and I urgently need this pill furnace to refine pills. If you two can let me have this treasure, I can take one-third less of the other things in the distribution," Lin Shiqi glanced at Han Li, forcing a smile and said.

"Ahem, since..." Han Li cleared his throat, seeming to be about to say something.

"To be honest, I've spent hundreds of years searching for a suitable pill furnace. I finally saw a satisfactory pill furnace this time, so please you two part with it. As for the distribution of other resources, I can take two-thirds less," Lin Jiu said preemptively before Han Li could speak.

Han Li's eyes lit up, as if he had been moved.

"Wait! How about this, I only want this pill furnace, and I don't want any of the other spiritual herbs and materials. I'll give them all to you two, how about that?" Lin Shiqi swept his gaze over the pill furnace and said, gritting his teeth.

"Hehe, I didn't expect Fellow Daoist Lin Shiqi to be so obsessed with this pill furnace. Now that you've said so, it would be a bit inhumane for me to compete for this pill furnace. I just don't know what Fellow Daoist Jiao Fifteen thinks?" Lin Jiu said with a light smile after pondering for a moment, turning his gaze to Han Li.

"Since the two of you have already made a decision, it is my consistent style to help others achieve their goals, so I will not take what others love. In that case, congratulations to Fellow Daoist Lin Shiqi. If this pill furnace had been in front of you when you were unconscious, I'm afraid you would have woken up sooner!" Han Li smiled slightly and cupped his hands to Lin Shiqi.

"Thank you, thank you." Lin Shiqi heard the sarcasm in Han Li's words, and although he was annoyed, the means Han Li had previously used had reduced this annoyance by more than half. In addition, a large stone had now been lifted from his heart, so he waved his hand and sent out a stream of yellow light, putting the pill furnace away without saying a word.

Looking at the precious materials all over the ground, he felt great pain, and turned his head away fiercely, not looking at them, and walked to the side.

"As for the remaining magical treasures and the jade box, I wonder which one Fellow Daoist Jiao Fifteen wants?" Lin Jiu looked at Han Li and asked.

"I have lost two sets of flying sword spiritual treasures in a row this time, and I am now lacking handy magical treasures, so I will take these magical treasures," Han Li pointed to the magical treasures and said.

"Hehe, doesn't Fellow Daoist Jiao Fifteen cultivate the water attribute law? Most of these magical treasures are of the metal attribute, which is not compatible with you. I happen to cultivate the metal attribute technique, which is quite compatible with these magical treasures. Speaking of which, the jade box restriction is so strange, and there must be extremely precious treasures inside, so let's give it to Fellow Daoist Jiao Fifteen," Lin Jiu said with a flash in his eyes, smiling.

"The things in this jade box may be very precious as you said, but the restriction on the box is really strange, and if you are not careful, it will self-destruct, which would be a waste of resources. I believe that Fellow Daoist Lin Jiu is the most likely person to open this box. I still want a few more practical magical treasures," Han Li said, shaking his head.
