Reputation Shocked
Without hesitation, he took out the wooden box enveloped by the silver flames from the Sumeru Ring, while simultaneously lightly fanning his hand above it. A breeze swept by, and the silver flames flickering on the box dissipated, revealing the silver-white wooden box unobstructed before him.
Following that, Liu Ming gently tapped the wooden box with one hand, and with a "creak," it slowly opened. A cyan light unfurled, revealing a very ancient tome lying inside.
The surface of this tome was inscribed with extremely abstruse, faint silver spiritual patterns, appearing to be endowed with some kind of restriction. It had, however, long lost its luster, and the corners were slightly curled, indicating its considerable age.
Liu Ming immediately took the tome out of the wooden box and began to read it with concentration.
A moment later, he smiled wryly, closed the tome, and placed it back inside the silver-white wooden box.
