"You two split them."
"One item each. Take your pick."
Li Bai stood to one side, studying the box with interest, then the piece of cold iron.
"You choose first," Xu Yuan said.
"They're both yours," Jiang Xueyao said.
Xu Yuan hurriedly shook his head. "The fighting here is more dangerous. I want you to have some way to protect yourself. You have to choose one."
Jiang Xueyao thought about it and realized he was right.
She couldn't just follow him around as a burden.
"Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain sounds impressive, and that young attendant was extraordinary too. I'll take the box."
Jiang Xueyao beckoned, and the box opened to reveal a Rainbow Robe.
"Clothes... I really did pick the right one. You couldn't wear this."
Jiang Xueyao draped the robe over herself. It fit perfectly, not an inch too long or too short.
"Zhen Yuanzi knew you'd choose that, so he sent it."
Li Bai spoke.
"Who's Zhen Yuanzi?" Jiang Xueyao asked.
"The immortal you didn't meet. Some old fellows here are utterly shameless. They can count on their fingers for a moment and know the past and future," Li Bai said.
Jiang Xueyao was stunned.
She felt the robe's power for several breaths, then raised her hand and swept it through the air.
Her long sleeve spun like a black hole, slowly unfurling before snapping shut.
"Heaven and Earth in the Sleeve... a Primordial Dao Treasure."
Li Bai murmured the words.
After using it, Jiang Xueyao stood motionless, her face full of shock.
She had been stunned all over again.
When she used that move, she had felt as though she could gather heaven, earth, and everything in them into a single sleeve.
"My Primordial Chaos Umbrella can capture people too. Isn't that a little redundant?"
Xu Yuan
