"This sir, are you interested in this mask? It's a new arrival, a good item." The eunuch with two copper coins on his face smiled at Li Huowang and asked in a half-male and half-female voice.

"Yes, I want this. How many Yangshoudan do I need to exchange?"

Upon hearing Li Huowang's words, the eunuch's face lit up with a smile. "Oh, sir, you have a good eye. You can have it with thirty years of Yangshoudan."

"So expensive?" Li Huowang couldn't help but be surprised. He knew the value of Yangshoudan.

"Oh, how can we say that you have a good eye if it's not expensive? After all, this Four Qi item is rare here. Let me explain the use of this mask to you. Just put it on--"

"That's enough, I don't need your explanation. I want this." Li Huowang took the gourd around his waist and poured out thirty Yangshoudan.

"Sir, you're generous! This copper coin mask is yours." The eunuch respectfully took the Yangshoudan, his eyes full of greed for Yangshoudan.

Li Huowang put on the copper coin mask and felt a familiar weight, which made him feel a sense of relief. Then he looked at the eunuch in front of him. "With your wealth, are you worshiping the God of Wealth? Are you openly worshiping this thing? Doesn't the palace manage it?"

"Hehehe, sir, you're joking. Who doesn't worship the God of Wealth in this world? Who would complain about having too much money? Isn't that right? Hehehe."

Seeing that the other party didn't directly answer his question, Li Huowang didn't ask anymore and directly stated the purpose of his visit.

"Oh, you want to let the blind see. I'm not quite sure about that, but you can follow me. I'll have someone check for you."

Then Li Huowang followed him towards a row of wooden cabinets. As the wooden cabinets filled with small squares surrounded them, he felt like he was in a forest.

Especially as they walked further inside, the wooden cabinets became more old and covered with green mold in the corners.

Whether it was an illusion or not, when Li Huowang passed by those moldy places, he had a vague feeling of being watched.

Led by the eunuch, Li Huowang arrived at a wall on the left side. The moldy wall had large and small holes.

Just as Li Huowang was trying to figure out what was going on, the eunuch picked up a cinnabar pen from the nearby table, wrote some words on a piece of white paper, rolled the paper into a ball, and stuffed it into a small bamboo tube. Finally, he threw it into one of the holes in the wall.

"Sir, wait a moment. We'll have news soon. Don't worry, I estimate that we can make your eyes see again. There are many treasures in this library that the Jiantiansi has accumulated for hundreds of years."

"I'm not in a hurry." Li Huowang said and quietly waited by the wall.

After a while, seeing that the atmosphere was quiet, Li Huowang thought for a moment and asked the eunuch beside him, "By the way, do you know about the recent natural disasters? Is there any other news in the Jiantiansi?"

The eunuch listened to this and bowed to Li Huowang. "Sir, I can explain the matters in this library to you, but I can't help with the outside world. I haven't left this library since I was born."

Hearing this, Li Huowang felt a chill in his body. The Jiantiansi was using people as tools, and they were really going to extremes.

A eunuch who had never been to the outside world naturally eliminated the possibility of stealing, and it was even more terrifying that there were probably more than one such eunuch.

"A bamboo stick was thrown out of the hole in the wall.

The eunuch with greedy eyes took it and opened it. He seemed to be happy for Li Huowang and said joyfully, "Sir, I said there must be a way! And there's not just one!"

"Oh? Tell me!" Li Huowang guessed right. There must be a way to solve his blindness in the Jiantiansi.

"This one is called the Flowing Pearl Eye. As long as you bury the fist-sized magic eye in your forehead, not only will your vision become clearer, but it can also dispel evil spirits."

"Only one? Fist-sized? And it must be buried in the forehead?" Li Huowang couldn't help but feel a bit uneasy when he thought about Bai Lingmiao staring at him with her forehead eyes.

"Sir, isn't one enough? Don't you also lack one?" The eunuch stared at Li Huowang's blind eyes.

"No, that won't work. I need to circulate my energy through the Indigo Heaven Circle, so give me another option."

"Oh, then the second one is the Golden Bridge Mystical Scripture. It is said that after comprehending it, you can control life and death and turn people into bones. However, it requires a high level of comprehension and needs to be read diligently for years."

"Next."

One by one, the eunuch mentioned the options, but Li Huowang rejected them one by one. It wasn't that the items didn't meet his requirements, but they had other side effects.

After going through the options, there were only a few left. Just as Li Huowang was hesitating whether to choose the previous magic eye, the eunuch's words caught his attention.

"The eighth one is a relic of a high monk from the Great Qi Dynasty. As long as you consume this relic with rootless water, you can obtain the Eye of the Mind, which allows you to see even without eyes and know what's happening around you."

"This... seems interesting."

This novel is available on "pawread dot com".

He seemed to have hit a dead end before. In fact, Bai Lingmiao might not need eyes to see things. As long as she could move freely, it didn't matter how it was achieved.

Moreover, this so-called 'Heart's Eye' seemed to counter invisibility and illusions, potentially enhancing Bai Lingmiao's abilities.

"Sir, I'll take this one."

"Wait a moment, sir. I haven't finished. Not everyone can use this relic. It must be used by someone with a kind heart. The kinder the heart, the more powerful the Heart's Eye. If it's used by someone with an evil heart, they could be directly transcended by the relic."

"A kind heart? No problem, I'll take this one." If anyone had the kindest heart throughout their journey, it was undoubtedly Bai Lingmiao.

The eunuch, surprised, looked up at Li Huowang's blood-colored robe and the two rows of blood-stained torture instruments at the hem of his robe. He asked doubtfully, "Sir, do you truly have a kind heart?"

Obviously, he mistakenly thought that Li Huowang wanted to use it for himself.

"Can't I have a kind heart? Stop talking nonsense! I want this! Bring it to me now!" Li Huowang said, frowning.

Hearing this, the eunuch didn't say anything else. He turned around and led Li Huowang towards the wooden cabinet.

However, after only a few steps, he turned his head to look at Li Huowang and said hesitantly, "Sir, I'm really sorry, but there's one more important thing I forgot to ask. Don't blame me for being blunt, but this relic costs four hundred Yangshou Pills. Can you afford it?"
