Ming Li''s excitement grew even more when he heard that only Great Elders can enter it. It means that the items inside might be rarer than what he initially thought.
He immediately nodded and didn''t say a word trying to hide his enthusiasm.
Great Elder Gu did some incantations and dripped his blood on an altar full of symbols. When the drop of blood touched the symbols, a small rift appeared above it. Great Elder Gu then stretched his arms towards the small rift and used his energy to forcefully rip the space to increase the size of it. The space was slowly teared and the size of the rift became larger than a full grown man.

"We can only stay inside the inventory for quarter an hour, so be sure to decide quickly." Great Elder Gu said.
<div>
Great Elder Gu then wrapped Ming Li using his energy and guided him to enter the rift.

There were various items inside the holy inventory. Ming Li''s eyes glittered every-time he saw something that looks expensive. He could not identify all of the items inside, but the feeling that every item gave him was extremely strong.
It was like any item inside can easily slaughter him if it was used against him.
There were many books and weapons inside the holy inventory. There are also armors and random scrolls. Even the Ten Great Merchants Union does not know the use of all the items stored inside, that''s why they were reluctant on giving away any treasure inside. Each treasure might hold a deep secret that they have yet to discover.
Ming Li''s gaze swept over all of the item. He felt dangerous energy from some items, so he chose not to get close to them.
On the midst of his joyful search, he felt something unusual. On a desolate side of the holy inventory he saw a tattered book. When he saw the book his core thrummed with excitement. It was the same feeling whenever he see abundant amount of demonic energy.
<div>
However Ming Li felt different about the book. He can clearly see traces of demonic energy on it. It was different than normal demonic energy, it was something profound.
Ming Li stared at the book like he found a great treasure. When he opened the book, he saw some normal text, but along those normal text were some inscriptions written in demonic energy!
<div>
Before choosing the book, he glanced at several other treasures he had set his eyes on and sighed with deep regret. "Too bad I can only take one." Ming Li thought.
If he knew that there would be tons of rare treasure beyond his imagination inside the holy inventory, he would have fought for another item.
However a deal is a deal. So Ming Li could only stare at all those treasures and say his goodbyes. When he closed the book Great Elder Gu said "Is that what you picked?."
Again Ming Li gazed around and felt his heart starting to swell. He looked at Great Elder Gu with eyes full of pleading as if he wanted to tell him that he wants another item.
When Elder Gu saw Ming Li''s weird gaze he slowly shook his head without even knowing why.
It was like Ming Li''s longing for another treasure was transmitted to his body and he rejected it unconsciously.
Ming Li''s eyes became slightly wet with tears when he saw Great Elder Gu shaking his head. It was like a scene of being rejected by someone you love the most. Ming Li then slowly closed his eyes and breathed deeply. When he opened his eyes, he took a last look at the treasures then said "Yes, this is what I want."
Great Elder Gu was a bit dumbfounded on Ming Li''s weird reactions but he didn''t say a word. He was also curious why Ming Li picked something not noteworthy, but he also didn''t comment on that, since it would be beneficial for them if Ming Li didn''t pick something rare.
Ming Li then closed his eyes as he walked towards the rift. He already checked all the items and even checked the holy inventory itself to satiate his curiosity, and decided to avoid looking at other treasures to avoid greater feeling of loss when he leave the holy inventory.

After a bit he continued his steps and left the shop.
