Guest-Retaining Abode, Heaven Room Three.
"Honored guest, this is what your friend asked us to give you. Please keep it safe."
Xu Taiping had barely entered Heaven Room Three when a shop assistant handed him a wooden box.
"Thank you for the trouble."
Xu Taiping nodded, took the wooden box, and set it on the table without betraying anything.

"Go on. What are these things?"
Soon, the Voice Transmission Jade Slip lit up again-
"Although that Bronze Casket is only a Spirit Treasure, it possesses one divine power: whenever anyone tries to force it open, it destroys whatever is stored inside."
"And the owner of the Bronze Casket will know immediately."

"But don't worry. The restrictions on the Bronze Casket will lift once the competition is over. You'll be able to take it out easily then."
Xu Taiping was not surprised that the people of the Mystic Blade Sect could find such a treasure.
After Mo Yu's voice faded, Bai Yu leaped down from Xu
