"Come, come, anyone who can open this box can pick any item from my stall. If you can't, then just pay me a Dao treasure!"

An old man with grey hair at his temples, wrinkled face, and shrewd eyes shouted loudly.

"So many treasures!"

Hearing the hempen-robed elder's words, everyone was eager to give it a try. They didn't want to miss such a great opportunity.

"I'll do it, I'll do it!"

To be able to come to the Heaven City Square to choose a treasure, one must be either rich or noble. There was no lack of Dao treasures at all. Everyone was eager to sign up for the challenge.

"Don't squeeze, come one at a time!"

Seeing that everyone's interest had been piqued, the smile on the hempen-robed elder's face grew even wider. Pointing at the man standing right in front, who was wearing a luxurious robe with a square face and a thick black beard around his mouth, he said, "You are big, let's start with you."

"Alright!"

The Chinese-robed man revealed a trace of happiness as he quickly stood at the very front of the group.

Put down your wager. Remember, you only have about an incense stick's worth of time to open the wooden box in my hand. You can pick any treasure in my booth, and if you can't break the seal on the wooden box within the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, then the treasure you wager will be mine. The hempen-robed elder squinted his eyes and said.

"Alright, no problem!"

The Chinese-robed man had an extraordinary strength and was completely capable of breaking the seal. He took out a Dao Treasure and placed it on the stall. He took over the hands of the hempen-robed old man.

"Open for me!"

The Chinese-robed man let out a loud shout. A powerful Dao Insight burst out from his body and gathered in his hands. He wanted to forcibly tear apart the restrictions on the wooden box and open it.

However, this wooden chest seemed very fragile, but even with all of his strength, he was still unable to shake the restrictions on the surface of the wooden chest.

"Bloodline Ignition!"

Breaking the seal, the red-faced man did not give up. He burned all the blood vessels in his body at once, transforming into the strongest beast soul form.

Under the beast spirit state, the force that the man exploded with was enough to shatter mountains and cut off rivers. However, no matter how hard he tried, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't shake the restrictions or open the wooden box.

"High-grade Dao weapon, break!"

Since his brute force couldn't break the seal on the wooden box, the man took out a high-grade Dao Artifact and used all of his strength to attack the wooden box, but he was still unable to break the seal on the wooden box.

Slowly, the time it took for an incense stick to burn had passed. The half-dead man in the Chinese gown had broken through and lost to the hempen-robed elder a Dao treasure.

The Chinese-clothed man was defeated. An old man who had a deep understanding of array formations and forbidden patterns walked up, pressed down a Dao-treasure, and began to break the seal on the wooden chest.

"Blood as a medium, break the seal!"

The old man quickly spat out a few mouthfuls of blood. He poured a large amount of restriction energy into the blood and fused it with the restriction on the wooden box.

Suddenly, rays of light from restrictions appeared on the wooden box, giving him hope of breaking the restriction.

However, in the next moment, the flowing light of the restriction became dimmer and dimmer. The droplets of blood that had been fused with the restriction were constantly shattered by the wooden box's restriction, eventually disappearing without a trace.

"Puff puff puff!"

The old man didn't give up. He coughed up more blood at all costs and continued to use it as a catalyst to break through the restrictive barrier.

However, he vomited a few mouthfuls of blood. He seemed to be on the verge of collapse, unable to break the restriction on the wooden box. In the end, he failed.

The two of them failed consecutively, and it was as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over everyone's heart, letting them know that this wasn't a pie but a trap, and they all calmed down.

"Is there anyone else? Does anyone else want to try? "

When the hempen-robed elder saw that the previously enthusiastic crowd had all become obedient, he smiled and said.

"Let this old man have a try!"

At this moment, an old man with white hair and a face covered in red walked over with large strides. He placed a Dao treasure on the stall.

"Gan Hou, the Marquis of the Qilin Divine Kingdom, a Nirvana Realm expert!"

Looking at the white-robed old man, many people recognized his identity. He was a duke from the Qilin Divine Kingdom, a Nirvana Realm master. His strength was terrifying.

"I hope you can succeed!"

The hempen-robed elder handed the wooden chest to the marquis as he spoke with a smile.

"Humph!"

The marquis looked at the ordinary old man arrogantly, took over the wooden box, and after fumbling around with his old right hand, he pulled out a fish-bone dagger, which was an ancient treasure, and swung it towards a corner of the wooden box.

"Hmm …"

The attack of the Sun Wai Marquis could be said to be extremely terrifying. However, even though the river was cut in half, it was still unable to shake the wooden chest's restrictive barrier. This made him reveal a trace of astonishment.

"Clank, clank, clank …"

The face of the marquis darkened as he increased his strength to one hundred percent. A terrifying knocking sound could be heard as the fish bone dagger continuously struck a corner of the wooden box, causing a loud vibration that shook the air.

The marquis was a Nirvana Realm expert, and the fishbone dagger in his hand was an ancient dao treasure. If he were to attack with all his might, even a high-grade dao tool would be broken. However, he was unable to damage this wooden box.

"The dao of gold!"

After a long and arduous battle, the Duke of Qian Dian had finally condensed a terrifyingly powerful golden dao diagram. Large amounts of golden dao patterns were released from the dao diagram, merging into the fishbone dagger, stimulating the power of the ancient dao treasure and launching a fierce attack.

However, just like the two earlier, the Duke of Qian Dian had tried his best to break the restriction on the surface of the wooden chest, but was unable to do so.

At this time, an incense stick of time had passed.

"Three Heads, Six Arms!"

Time was up. Breaking the seal had failed. The Duke of Qian had felt humiliated, but he did not stop breaking the seal. Instead, he changed into his three-headed, six-armed form, trying to break the seal with his six arms.

"Hmph, time's up. Scram for me."

When the hempen-robed elder saw that the marquis had broken his promise, he refused to let him go. The smile on his face instantly disappeared, and an old hand broke through his wide sleeves. He stepped on the air and formed a large hand, grabbing towards the marquis.

Having received such a sudden attack, the grumpy Gan Hou flew into a rage. With the fish bone dagger in his hand, he thrust it into the sky.

However, the hand formed by the hempen-robed elder was too terrifying. It directly crushed the attack of the fishbone dagger and grabbed ahold of the pale-faced Duke Gan. Like a chick being thrown at, the elder was thrown out of the streets.

"Hiss!"

Witnessing the scene in front of them, everyone around the booth sucked in a breath of cold air as they looked at the hempen-robed elder with reverence and fear.

"Is there anyone else who would like to try!"

The hempen-robed elder's old face once again revealed a harmless smile. He looked at the crowd that was completely stunned by his strength and said with a smile.

However, at this time, everyone was well-behaved and no one dared to try again. The noisy area around the booth immediately quieted down.
