Lu Ze smiled as he held the Jade Box, gently opening it.
Inside the Jade Box, a bead the size of a longan and resembling a cherry lay quietly. It was a deep crimson, shimmering with a radiant light.
As Lu Ze opened it, a wave of pure Spiritual Power spread out, refreshing all who felt it.
"Junior Brother Cheng, what is this?" Lu Ze asked, feigning ignorance.
The old man smiled and said, "My family doesn't have many valuables. This Spirit Pearl Fruit is the only thing barely presentable. Please, allow this old man to offer it as a token of my gratitude."
"Aren't you afraid we'll take your stuff and not get the job done?" Zhangg Xiu spoke up, his words brutally direct.
The old man chuckled. "You needn't worry, Senior Brothers. This old man and my people have already scouted the Snake Nest several times, so we are quite familiar with it.
Although there are many, there's only one mother snake, and her Cultivation is barely at the Intermediate Apprentice level.
