Chen Lin looked at the woman who had spoken.
She looked very young, but her bearing and expression revealed that she, too, was a veteran cultivator who had cultivated for ten thousand years. She carried the authority of a superior and was probably the leader of a major faction.
Since she had asked, Chen Lin did not refuse and held out the willow twig.
The woman did not take it, merely leaned closer to examine it.
Within this space, items obtained from Treasure Chests could not be stolen. Even changing hands might trigger an abnormal reaction. She was merely curious and did not want to invite trouble.
"This willow twig..."
After examining it for a while, the woman looked hesitant.
"Do you recognize this, fellow Daoist?"
Chen Lin immediately pressed her.
He had been willing to show it to her precisely because he did not know its use. With something of such uncanny origin, he would not dare use it recklessly even if it were a supreme treasure.
"No."
The woman gently shook her head.
Then she withdrew her gaze.
"Although I don't recognize it, I'm very interested in it. If you're willing, fellow Daoist, we could make a trade."
"What sort of trade?"
Chen Lin raised an eyebrow.
Everyone knew that items from Treasure Chests could not be traded. He did not believe she had the power to break that rule.
The woman smiled faintly.
Then she took a large bottle from an embroidered pouch at her waist.
Showing it to Chen Lin, she said, "I noticed that you frequently used variegated crystal marrow while cultivating. You probably don't have much left. I have a large bottle of innate myriad spirit liquid here. Its effects are no worse than those of variegated crystal marrow. If you agree, it's yours."
