Chapter 2128: Chapter 705: Fifty Children Establish Their Foundations, Goddess Furnace! Under Qu Zhenzhen’s gaze, all the green leaves and vines of the Xuanwood Vine transformed into sparkling dots, falling into the dark green fruit. This fruit seemed to undergo the alternation of life and death, with various anomalies appearing. Radiance shimmered like a sky full of stars, absorbing the essence of heaven and earth, shrouded in a mist of clear energy, surrounded by resplendent rays. But in the next moment, it seemed as if the heavens and earth were in silent oblivion, beginning to wither and decay, deathly still, causing the spiritual energy of the underground palace to become chaotic, fluctuating between light and dark. The Mount Sumeru Tree King cast a gentle golden radiance, shining upon Qu Zhenzhen, to prevent any accidental harm from the Xuanwood Vine Fruit. Like the all-encompassing Buddha Light, the Sumeru Light made Qu Zhenzhen feel serene and natural, her mind in a state of tranquility. It was as if she could discern a few strands of mystical Dao resonance from the life-death alternation of the fruit before her. As she watched intently, she noticed that this trace of Dao resonance resembled the patterns on the Mysterious Heaven Spiritual Vine, as if they shared the same origin, only clearer. Everything wilts, withers, decays, returning to the origin, from movement to stillness, then the cycle of life and death rotates, gaining new life, growing from infancy, flourishing, and then withering to silence. Growth and decay, destruction and prosperity, seem to outline lines of Dao patterns in the heavens and earth. Qu Zhenzhen’s pupils reflected the patterns, as the alternation of life and death of the fruit went from bright splendor to dim and dull. "Buzz!" No one knew how much time had passed when the fruit suddenly trembled violently, fissures appearing, bursting with dazzling splendor, illuminating the entire underground palace as if it were daylight. Then, the cracks rapidly spread, covering the entire surface of the fruit, accompanied by a delightful, crisp sound, as if the fruit had established some resonance with the heavens and the earth. As the fruit’s shell peeled away, it transformed into glistening light specks, drifting in the air like a brilliant rain, falling upon Qu Zhenzhen, the Mysterious Heaven Spiritual Vine, the Five Elements Soil, and the Bi Yun Peak Spiritual Vein. "Buzz!" The Mount Sumeru Tree King at the Bi Yun Peak’s summit seemed to sense something, its roots in the spiritual vein extending to absorb the scattered light specks. "Hmm~" Qu Zhenzhen opened her eyes, her expression dazed, feeling she had just been in a mystical state, with some Secret Art Technique imprinting in her mind. Looking at the crystalline light rain before her, she didn’t know why, she just felt extremely comfortable, the "Heavenly Longevity Technique" operating on its own with great speed. But thinking of the Xuanwood Vine Fruit’s maturation, she quickly awoke, looking ahead. She saw the fruit, with its shell peeled away, transformed into a cluster of dazzling brilliance. "What is this?" Qu Zhenzhen wanted to see clearly. As the light gradually faded, a gourd the size of a baby’s fist, exuding a jade green luster as if condensed from the spiritual essence of heaven and earth, appeared. "A gourd, the gourd my husband wanted!" Qu Zhenzhen looked at the small gourd before her, her face instantly filled with joy. "But this gourd is so small, can my husband use it..." Looking at the gourd only the size of a baby’s fist, Qu Zhenzhen felt a bit worried. Although she has cultivated the "Heavenly Longevity Technique," she has never left Bi Lake Mountain all these years. But with the increasing volumes in the Lu Family’s library, her children and juniors often entertain her with stories from the Cultivation World, so she knows the requirements for crafting Magical Treasures and artifact embryos. The gourd before her seemed to understand her words, growing slowly under the light’s embrace until it reached over half a foot in size, the light completely dissipating, quietly resting on the ground. Qu Zhenzhen reached out to pick up the gourd before her, but found it heavy; she had to use both hands to lift it. Upon close inspection, the gourd was a rich, vibrant green, full of life, like the tender buds of a mountain forest in early spring, vivid and lustrous. However, across this verdant surface were scattered some unknown purple-black patterns, similar to those on the Mysterious Heaven Spiritual Vine. Despite these patterns, it felt warm to the touch, neither like jade nor wood, neither like gold. "This gourd is truly beautiful." Qu Zhenzhen couldn’t help but praise. The Cultivation World loved using gourds as containers, for holding alcohol or Elixir Medicines, and so forth. But among all the gourds she had seen, Qu Zhenzhen had never seen one so beautiful. Not only was the color radiant and warm, but the texture was natural, fitting perfectly, and its shape was absolutely perfect, possessing an indescribable grace. The gourd’s body was round and full, tapering elegantly to form a slender neck, with curves that were smooth and harmonious. Looking at the gourd’s mouth, it seemed meticulously polished, smooth and round, encircled by a dreamy and delicate halo. When holding this gourd, Qu Zhenzhen even felt entirely comfortable, as if she was enveloped in a warm, cozy sensation. "Sumeru elder, do you know this gourd’s grade?" Qu Zhenzhen immediately asked Mount Sumeru. Though her theoretical knowledge was good, she could only guess that this gourd was of high grade, but couldn’t determine precisely. "Fourth rank... top-grade..." Mount Sumeru, after sensing briefly, spoke with an ethereal and mystical voice. Being a Spirit Plant, Sumeru was quite sensitive in this regard. "Only fourth rank top-grade, huh." Qu Zhenzhen said somewhat regretfully. While fourth rank top-grade already counts as a Heaven and Earth Treasure in the Cultivation World, Qu Zhenzhen felt it wasn’t quite sufficient for her husband. Nevertheless, looking at the gourd in her hands, her lips curled into a smile, and her beautiful eyes shone with joyful anticipation. Full of delight, she imagined Lu Changsheng’s expression of surprise upon seeing the gourd. Meanwhile, within the Mount Sumeru Cave Heaven. "What’s going on?" Ling Zixiao, who was in closed-door cultivation, sensed something and walked out of the Changsheng Hall. He saw the spiritual energy in the Cave Heaven surging wildly, the plants, air gaining a touch of freshness, and ethereal quality.
