    ——(POV third person)——


    Li Huang looked at Li Long with a smile and waited for him to react.


    "What do you want?" Li Long said as he thought that Li Huang probably wanted more money or some rare cultivation resources.


    Li Huang could easily read from his grandpa''s eyes that he thought he is asking for something. He shook his head like a disappointed teacher and spoke.


    "I want to give you your birthday gift…" Li Huang said and looked through his storage rings for the oilmp. It was a weird feeling to browse a storage ring''s contents when it is inside another storage ring.


    After he got this new storage ring, he put all his storage rings in this one to sort themter but he is yet to find the time to do so, so he had to search for it manually.


    "My birthday gift?" Li Long said with a raised eyebrow as it wasn''t his birthday. Thest time that Huang gave him a birthday gift, was 7 months ago so it shouldn''t be his birthday.


    Li Huang found the oldmp and sorted the best herbs in a ring and took both of them out of the storage ring.


    "This oilmp is one of the treasures that I found in the trial." Li Huang said as he handed the double-nozzle oilmp to grandpa Long.


    Grandpa Long looked at the oilmp with interest as he could see from a nce that this was a priceless treasure. As someone who would use multiple oilmps a year for his training, he became something of an expert when It came to appraising thesemps.


    Seeing the interest in grandpa Long''s eyes, Li Huang continued his exnation.


    "This oilmp can be used to burn medicinal herbs that are resistant to fire and need a higher temperature, like [red snake tongue]." Li Huang said with a smug look on his face. Unbeknown to grandpa Long, Li Huang was cheating with the information that the [Peeping eye of heaven] gave him to appear more knowledgeable.


    "How many times can you use it when you have [red snake tongue] in it?" Li Long asked as he didn''t think there was something that could handle a herb like [red snake tongue]. When he needed to use such a herb in meditation he would ask one or more grand elders to help him. They would use their Qi to form a furnace that would let them create an environment that would be suitable for this herb, but the drawback was that they couldn''t lose focus so they couldn''t meditate when they were using their Qi to control the furnace.


    Hearing this, even Li Huang''s eyes were smiling.


    "When I found this oilmp, it was lit and there was some oil in it…" Li Huang said and paused to make it more dramatic.


    "…That herb inside it was the [red snake tongue]." Li Huang said and let his words sink in.


    Li Long was truly shocked by this. The fact that this oilmp was lit shows that it has been burning [red snake tongue] for as long as this trial existed and that isn''t easy toprehend. Even if the time in that formation passed slower, it is still beyond impressive that this oilmp is not destroyed.


    "Are you sure?" Li Long couldn''t help but ask. As much as he wanted to believe that, a part of him told him that there shouldn''t exist such a powerful oilmp.


    "Why don''t you sniff the oilmp to make sure?" Li Huang said. The smell of the oil wouldn''t go away easily, even though the oil was stored separately in the storage ring.


    "Do you want me to die?" Li Long said with a frown. He couldn''t believe that Li Huang would suggest such a thing.


    Li Huang frowned for a moment but when he closed his eyes he went through the information that the peeping eye of heaven had on the [red snake tongue] and the next instant that he opened his eyes, he knew what grandpa Long meant by his words.


    Inhaling the [red snake tongue]''s odor is dangerous and could cause death. This is the main reason that they burn the herb in the first ce. While getting burned, this property of the herb would be removed and you can get the benefits without having to think of the harmful parts.


    "Haha, I was joking. Here is the oil that was in the oilmp." Li Huang covered his embarrassment with augh and showed the oil that he stored in a vial. He was d that he was cautious at the time and didn''t try to smell anything before he made sure that it was safe.


    ''Good thing that I stored the oil separately or else it would be a problem when I took the oilmp out.'' Li Huang thought. He took a mental note to make sure no such thing happen in the future.


    Li Long checked the oil and he could easily see that it was aged and that cleared any doubt that he could have. This oilmp was genuine and a treasure that one couldn''t buy with money.


    "HAHA, this is the best gift that anyone has received in the world! Thank you, Huang." Li Longughed as he patted Li Huang''s shoulder.


    After the disappearance of Li Huang''s parents, Li Long has done everything in his power to find them but he couldn''t find even a single clue and he always had this feeling that he might die without finding them. To make sure that he is alive he started using deep sleep so that he can preserve his life span for when it matters, like when he thought Li Huang was in danger.


    Now that he had this treasure, he could train easily and without dy as it wasn''t like you could buy the regr oilmps if you had the money. There was a limited production of thosemps and one could only buy a few, even if one had enough money and connections. The price of the herbs is nothing inparison to the limitation of the oilmps.


    "Wait a moment grandpa, I''m not finished yet." Li Huang said. His voice brought Li Long back to the real world.


    "Do you need anything? Just name it and I will get it for you!" Li Long said as he thought that Li Huang wanted to ask for something. He didn''t have any problem with giving Li Huang whatever he asked for as he had gained enough that whatever Li Huang asks for, is small inparison.


    "I meant that your gift is notplete yet." Li Huang said. He couldn''t believe that his grandpa would think that he is going to ask for something.


    He handed his grandpa a small box. This was the same medicinal box that he found in the test space where he found Han Junhui''s body.


    Li Long''s eyes were shining like a child who was waiting to open his gifts.


    "What is it?" Li Long said with excitement as he slowly opened the box to see its contents but as soon as he got a glimpse of the herb, he closed the box and looked at Li Huang. He wanted him to confirm that his eyes were not deceiving him.


    It wasn''t hard for Li Huang to understand those eyes and what Li Long wanted to hear.


    "Yes, it is the [Phoenix Ash]." Li Huang said.


    Li Long didn''t think that after the oilmp, Huang could have such a thing ready for him. In fact, if it wasn''t for seeing this herb in the books he wouldn''t be able to identify it as it has been many years that this herb was seen. Whoever found them used them for themselves or gifted them directly to someone so no auction was held.


    "With this, you can break through to the next stage." Li Huang said with a grin. Now that they are on the brink of war, this one stage could make a huge difference.


    "Indeed." Li Long couldn''t help but mirror his grandson''s expression. If he could break through to the next stage before the war with the Xu family, their victory would be set in stone.


    "These are other high-grade herbs that I found…" Li Huang said as he handed the storage ring that contained the best herbs to grandpa Long.


    "You know that you are my favorite grandchild, right?" Li Long said as he put a hand on Li Huang''s head.


    "Of course, you are my favorite grandparent too." Li Huang said.


    Looking at each other, they bothughed and walked out of the training ground to rest for the night.
