This time, Su Rui finally found a mysterious jade box emitting a faint glow deep within the damaged wall! His heartbeat quickened with joy, and he carefully removed the box from the wall, fearing to break the precious treasure.
The jade box appeared to be crafted from the finest black jade, meticulously carved with the images of the five elements: gold, wood, water, fire, and earth: a sharp knife, a lush tree, a rolling wave, a blazing flame, and a solid stone. Su Rui examined it for a long time, but still couldn't grasp the meaning of these images. He could only speculate that the jade box contained an item related to the five elements, perhaps even a rare and precious magical weapon!
However, opening the jade box was no easy task, as it was secured with a complex and intricate Luban lock. But for the resourceful Xiaotu, it was a piece of cake. Without hesitation, Xiaotu blurted out the method for unlocking the Luban lock. Su Rui, upon hearing this, was filled with confidence, eager to learn what secrets lay within the jade box.
He immediately followed the instructions on the small diagram, operating step by step. Not long after, there was a crisp "click," and the jade box was successfully opened! Just as Su Rui lifted the lid with great anticipation, a strange light suddenly shot out from the box! This light was a dazzling array of colors, mixed with vivid red and bright yellow, and like lightning, it penetrated Su Rui's brow...

As the red and yellow light shot towards him, a rainbow-like light flashed between Su Rui's eyebrows, but it disappeared in an instant. Then, the Jiuyi Cauldron, which had been quietly floating in his Niwan Palace, let out a cry of surprise.
"Don't panic. This is just a mirage, specially created by the Immortal Mansion's master to test the tenacity of his disciples' Daoist hearts. It poses no real threat. However, if our master cannot successfully pass this test, then this precious jade box may be difficult to preserve..."
After a moment of silence, Xiaotu spoke slowly in a low voice. He was filled with guilt at the moment. After all, this sudden mirage was beyond his expectations, putting Su Rui in such a dangerous situation.
