Lord Leo brought out quite a few things: a dozen thick magic books, several wands, several sets of magic protective gear, a magic teacup, a magic lamp, and several magic glass balls.
In addition, there were five or six jewelry boxes of various sizes.
Leo Reeves picked out the jewelry boxes from the pile of items and opened them one by one.
It contains all sorts of magical jewelry with a strong magical flavor.
"These are gifts from this old man to you, sir. I will be entrusting Belle to you from now on."
“Lord Leo, there’s no need for that. Belle has signed an employee contract with the Dimensional Mall, so I will naturally take care of her.”
"As an elder, this is all I can do for my granddaughter. Please accept this."
As he spoke, he pushed the jewelry boxes toward her.
Lin Qianqian looked down at the largest jewelry box, which was divided into three layers that could be pulled out one by one.
Once fully opened, inside was a set of jewelry made of various colored magic stones.
This includes a Philosopher's Stone Princess tiara, a pair of earrings, a necklace, a pair of bracelets, a bracelet, and an anklet.
Lin Qianqian sensed a special aura from the green magic gem. After sensing it with her divine sense, she discovered that it contained a vast life force.
Pointing to the gemstones on the jewelry, she asked, "What kind of minerals are these? They look very unusual."
"Your Excellency has excellent eyesight. These are magic stones, which are crystals of various elements. You see, the red one is a fire element crystal, a fire-type magic stone. The blue one is a water element crystal, a water-type magic stone. The green one is a wood element crystal, a wood-type magic stone..."
As Lin Qianqian listened to his introduction, her gaze fell upon the princess's crown.
She looked at the green gem in the center of her crown, which was larger than a quail egg, and swept it over and over with her divine stone.
She was certain that the green gem in the middle, which was the size of a peanut, was different from the one on the side; this one was not a crystal of the wood element.
However, she didn't say it aloud, but instead examined the jewelry piece by piece.
The entire set of jewelry is exquisitely made and has a very exotic feel.
She accepted the jewelry, took out a bottle from her storage space, and handed it to Leo Reeves.
"There is a pill in the bottle called the Longevity Pill. If you take it when your life is nearing its end, you can extend your life by ten years. This is a return gift for the jewelry you gave me."
Regardless of his true purpose in giving her the jewelry, Lin Qianqian, a wealthy cultivator, had no reason to accept gifts from others for nothing.
As for the return gift being a longevity pill, wouldn't that be a loss?
The answer is definitely no loss. Putting aside the value of the jewelry, the unknown emerald on the princess's crown alone is extremely useful to Lin Qianqian.
Trading it for a longevity pill would be a huge win!
As for Leo Reeves, his purpose in giving her the beautiful jewelry was twofold: firstly, he genuinely wanted Lin Qianqian to take care of his granddaughter in the future.
Secondly, I want to buy some things from her that aren't on the list. For example, spatial items, like the one that covered the parliament building last time.
He was dreaming. That Bagua array plate was a semi-divine artifact; how could Lin Qianqian possibly sell it to him?
Regardless of whether Leo Reeves's ideas were beautiful or not, he was currently overjoyed by the unexpected windfall that had fallen from the sky.
He didn't know anything about longevity pills, but he understood the words "extend life by ten years".
As the magical world has developed to this point, it has explored many forbidden areas for humanity, even manipulating souls, such as necromancy and soul stealing.
However, it has encountered a bottleneck only in extending human lifespan.
The maximum human lifespan is 120 years. If you want to live longer, there are only two paths.
The first step is to break through to the level of a Dharma God.
The second method is to use unorthodox and unorthodox means, such as possession, body stealing, or transferring lifespan.
However, doing so not only comes at a great cost to the caster, but also leaves the beneficiary with enormous aftereffects, as if cursed, neither human nor ghost.
Everyone says this is a restriction imposed on human longevity by the god of magic; to achieve longevity, one must follow the righteous path and break through the limitations imposed by the god of magic.
But now there's a third way, requiring only one pill.
Although it only grants him ten more years of life, it is the key to unlocking the forbidden door.
If possible...
"Sir, what is the formula for this pill?" Leo Reeves asked tentatively.
"You don't need to think about it. Regardless of whether I have the recipe or not, even if I did, your world wouldn't be able to refine it because the medicinal herbs used are not from this world."
Lin Qianqian resolutely refused and told him the reason directly.
"All right!"
Leo Reeves was very disappointed. If this kind of pill could be made in the magical world, people would have tried and succeeded over thousands of years.
He composed himself and refocused his attention on the expansion box in front of him.
"My lord, as you have seen, this is a space expansion box, a common spatial artifact in the magical world. It requires high-quality materials, is difficult to manufacture, and is inconvenient to carry. Therefore, I would like to ask you to sell me a small spatial artifact."
As he spoke, he pushed the magic book, wand, and other items in front of him forward.
"Please take a look, sir, and tell me the value of these magical items. I wonder if they could be exchanged for a spatial treasure?"
Lin Qianqian glanced at the items in front of her, waved her hand casually, and walked towards the cashier with the pile of items.
The checkout counter was empty; hardly anyone was paying. After scanning all the items, Lin Qianqian put them away and returned to the meeting room.
She took a storage bag and an empty bead, and placed them in front of Leo Reeves.
Then, pointing to one of them, he said, "This is a storage bag, about the size of a room. This is an empty bead, slightly larger, but not by much. Which one do you prefer?"
When Leo Reeves first saw her take out two spatial items, he thought she could exchange those items for two.
I was so sad that I could only choose one of the two options!
Seeing him like this, Lin Qianqian scoffed, "How greedy!"
But she did it on purpose; she knew he had many other good things.
Not to mention the items in River City's treasury and private vaults, which she took most of.
Who would believe that the Rivi family, who have been entrenched here for hundreds of years, only have one treasure trove?
How could Leo Rivi, who has served as patriarch and city lord for so many years, only have one private treasury?
She deliberately presented him with two items, offering him a choice between them. If he wanted the other item, she would offer something even better to buy the remaining one.
During her more than twenty years in the orc plane, she successfully cultivated the Kongsang Tree, so now she has more than ten Kongsang Trees, not just the two she had.
Over the years, these trees have produced empty beads several times, and now she has quite a few empty beads in her hands.
When I returned to Blue Star last time, the Planting Research Institute sent over four of the less-than-ideal hollow mulberry trees to her for cultivation.
Thanks to her care, it's currently in very good condition in the space.
There is a tree with hollow pearls that will ripen and fall in the next couple of days.
So this trip to the magical world is a good opportunity to make a trade.
Leo Reeves looked at the options for a long time but couldn't make a decision. He didn't know which one to choose.
"Can I use magic to detect these two items?" "Magic detection?"
Lin Qianqian didn't understand what he wanted to do, but she still agreed.
"Sure, do as you please!"
