The wooden box was palm-sized, purple-red in color, with straight grain, a fine texture, and bare on all four sides without any decoration or magic runes, resembling an ordinary jewelry box.
Zheng Qingyuan thought he would see a pocket watch upon opening the box.
But what appeared before his eyes was an hourglass.
The hourglass lay quietly on the red velvet cloth, with ochre wooden bases at both ends. The bases were connected by three slender black columns, engraved with dense spell runes, as fine as mosquito legs. Two water-drop shaped transparent glass globes were clamped in the center of the three columns. One was empty, while the other was filled with uniformly grained translucent sand.
"The contents inside are Time Sand."
