Upon hearing these words, Ye Qing's face instantly changed. He finally understood the meaning behind the Netherworld Taoist's statement.

No wonder the Netherworld Taoist's expression changed when he mentioned the material of this box. A wooden box lasting nearly a thousand years, how could that be possible?
"A wooden box, how could it last this long?" Ye Qing furrowed his brow and said, "Isn't this box made of wood?"
