Chapter 480: Chapter 107 Willing to Go Through Fire and Water for God Gu

"To find this item, you need to pay attention to the following points..."

"The appearance of the [Copper Human Lamp] will be covered with a layer of lacquer, which you need to scrape off the outermost skin to reveal its true form."

"The [Copper Human Lamp] has completely lost the spirit it once contained, and is now just an ordinary object, so it could be found anywhere, even in the cattle sheds of farmers. Actually, this is good news, because the antique won’t be identified as an Extraordinary Item... Hence, with the power of the Li Family, searching for it won’t be met with any obstruction."

"If you have sufficient funds, I suggest expanding the search to encompass the entire Five Continents... it’s best to offer a reward, as this is an antique that’s at least six hundred years old, which can be identified simply by its age compared to similar objects."

Gu Shen spoke seriously.

Sitting across from him was the future heir of the Li Family.

Li Qingsui stretched out her small hand, her index finger and thumb forming a circle, while the other three fingers were raised.

"This gesture... what does it mean?"

"No problem."

Li Qingsui said indifferently, "If, as you said, the remaining three Copper Human Lamps are just ordinary items without any Extraordinary Aura... then the Li Family will definitely be able to find them."

"No, it is not merely an ordinary object," Gu Shen rubbed his brow and added, "It’s an antique."

"Hmm... an antique, so what?" Li Qingsui raised an eyebrow.

"Valuable..." Remembering that money meant almost nothing to the Li Family, Gu Shen seriously said, "The last Copper Human Lamp I found was in the tundra’s snowfield... it was buried in a tomb."

"If it has not surfaced, then the difficulty will increase significantly." Li Qingsui frowned slightly and said, "Alright, I take back my previous statement... I can only guarantee that, if these three objects are on the surface, the Li Family can find them."

She snapped her fingers.

Uncle Gao connected the communicator and came over to Li Qingsui.

"The task is simple, find three antiques."

"Yes, that’s right... very important."

"The files for the three lamps have already been sent over, increase the reward, and expand the search area..." Li Qingsui instructed the Li Family’s Butler on the other end of the communicator, then raised her eyes to glance at Gu Shen and said, "Hmm... especially remind them to pay more attention to farmers’ cattle sheds and freshly unearthed ancient tombs..."

Gu Shen knew that the last sentence was Li Qingsui deliberately mocking him.

He shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently, "Perhaps you also need to instruct your subordinates to keep an eye on the scrap recycling stations."

Li Qingsui hung up the communicator and frowned.

"Since you have found one... why not use the same method to find the second?"

She stood on Divine Temple Mountain Top, looking towards that small house.

She was already aware of the events that had transpired.

"Utilizing the Li Family’s power to search the world for three ancient lamps, even if possible, would take a considerable amount of time," she said, lifting her chin. "Wouldn’t it be faster to use the ’Prayer Technique’?"

Gu Shen fell silent for a moment.

Before he could say anything,

"Of course I care about my sister." Li Qingsui spoke earnestly, "It’s not that I want you to sacrifice your lifespan... If possible, I can perform the prayer myself, I am willing to pay the corresponding price."

"It’s useless."

Gu Shen shook his head and said, "I have tried praying... The prayer for the second lamp, the balance simply doesn’t accept. Your sister has tried too, and that prayer has failed."

"Failed... why?" Li Qingsui could not understand.

"The reason I found the first lamp... was due to my Dream, which guided me to the direction of the Lamp of Sorrow. And the actual objective of my prayer at that time was not to find the ancient lamp, but to locate that specific snowfield in my Dream."

Gu Shen carefully said, "So now from the perspective of causality... the Prayer Technique didn’t answer the question about the ’Copper Human Lamp’ at the time, it only informed me of the exact location of that snowfield from my Dream."

If he had set off a little later, those people from the Late Bell Church would have moved the ancient coffin away, or Xiao would have emptied the tomb.

Then even if he reached that snowfield, he would have found nothing.

And if he had prayed directly for information on how to obtain the "Lamp of Sorrow," then the balance, having accepted the "feed," would have provided more meticulous hints... such as the time, place, and things to watch out for.

Being able to find the Lamp of Sorrow was actually a gamble.

It took thirty days to find a snowfield.

The bet was... that snowfield contained the thing he wanted!

"And when we tried again later, both Li Qingci and I attempted to find the remaining Copper Human Lamps using the Prayer Technique..." Gu Shen shook his head, saying, "Unfortunately, the balance did not take the feed."

Regret was evident on Li Qingsui’s young face.

She clenched her teeth, unwilling to accept this, "You can also perform Divination Skill, right? Try using it then!"

Gu Shen shook his head and said indifferently, "Do you think Divination Skill requires no price to be paid?"

"I’ll pay the price!"

The young Li Qingsui spoke earnestly, rolling up her sleeves, "Whether it’s a sacrifice of lifespan or something else, I shall bear these costs."

But upon seeing Gu Shen’s silently gathering strength in his fingers, her expression changed, and she immediately took two steps back.

"Smart move..."

Gu Shen scoffed, "It’s not a question of price... If the Prayer Technique doesn’t accept the feed, will Divination Skill accept it? Clearly, this is an item that even Forbidden Techniques cannot guide us to... If it could be divined or prayed for, then it would not have remained undiscovered for six hundred years."
