At first glance, the Treasure Vase looked utterly unremarkable.
It looked as though it had been molded from dry, decaying yellow earth and fired in a kiln.
It was extraordinarily crude, like an ordinary, everyday vase painstakingly crafted by someone who knew nothing of the craft.
Yet densely packed patterns covered it, like peculiar designs engraved into its body, brimming with an indescribable dao resonance.
Now those patterns shone with black light, like streams of pitch-black water flowing over the bottle.

One of them, slightly weaker and closest to Li Qingyue, even had their hair
