What luck!Ji Fengyan’s eyes sparkled as she stared at that silk box. Despite not knowing what was inside, she was sure it contained a lot more spiritual energy than the Tree of the Flowing Bloodshed!Ji Fengyan maintained a calm demeanor even as she bubbled with anticipation inside.Lei Kai placed the silk box on the table with an extremely grim face. His hand involuntarily tightened around the box, and it took him a while before he slowly opened it.Inside the silk box laid a palm-sized golden-colored scale. The scale looked old and worn.
