In less than half an hour,
Li Chang'an had inspected every jar.
Under the Immortal Gazing Technique, the function, rank, value, and other details of every Gu worm were laid bare before his eyes.
Yet he put on a troubled expression and sighed. "The Fifth Prince spoke truly. The seals on these jars are indeed formidable—I cannot see through a single one."
The Fifth Prince smiled. "Hundred Gu True Lord was an extraordinary figure of his generation. It is perfectly normal for us to be unable to see through the methods he left behind."
"The Fifth Prince is right."
"Fellow Daoist Lin, have you decided which jars you wish to buy?"
"I have."
Li Chang'an did not delay, lest unforeseen complications arise.
He immediately sent out dozens of streams of mana, marking the several dozen jars he wanted.
Of course.
Aside from the jar containing the Blood-Origin Soul-Devouring Gu,
The other jars did not matter. They were merely meant to throw others off the scent.
If he wanted only that one jar, the Fifth Prince might very well grow suspicious.
Afterward, Li Chang'an took out more than ten valuable Tier 4 Treasures and used his mana to send them before the Fifth Prince.
"Fifth Prince, how about using these treasures for the trade?"
"They are merely Gu worms, hardly worth anything. If Fellow Daoist Lin needs them, just take them all."
The Fifth Prince smiled, appearing exceedingly generous as he gave all those several dozen jars to Li Chang'an.
As for the treasures Li Chang'an had offered, he did not accept a single one.
"How can I possibly accept this?"
Li Chang'an showed surprise and insisted on making the trade.
But the Fifth Prince refused.
After some mutual pushing and declining, Li Chang'an could only put his treasures away.
