Chapter 2131: Chapter 706: Mystic Wood Gourd, Wedding Procession! "Oh?" Lu Changsheng was slightly surprised upon hearing that when the Xuanwood Vine matured, it intertwined with the Mysterious Heaven Spiritual Vine, and both Qu Zhenzhen and the Mount Sumeru Tree King gained some benefits. Who would have thought that the maturation of a Xuanwood Vine would cause such a big stir. But considering that a complete Xuanwood Vine is a fourth-rank Heaven and Earth Spiritual Plant, and that it has been nurtured using the Myriad Spirits Bottle for nearly twenty years until it matured, this effect is quite normal. Moreover, the revival and rapid growth of the Xuanwood Vine might likely be related to the Mysterious Heaven Spiritual Vine as well. "Here’s this cultivation techniques technique, I’m not sure how to explain it right now." Qu Zhenzhen said somewhat distressed. She captured a trace of Heaven and Earth rules and Dao patterns, mysterious Dao charm when the Xuanwood Vine Fruit matured and gained a secret art technique. It’s just that her cultivation level is too low, her comprehension is average, and currently, she can barely use it on her own but cannot articulate the secret art technique. "It’s okay, Zhenzhen. You can study it more when you have free time, and once you comprehend it thoroughly, you can articulate it." Lu Changsheng smiled and said, not too concerned about this secret art technique. He believed that this secret art technique was quite good, but what the Lu Family lacked the least were cultivation techniques. Lu Changsheng arrived next to the Mysterious Heaven Spiritual Vine, and reached out to pick up the Mystic Wood Gourd, placing it in front of his eyes and carefully examining it, brushing it with his fingers. It was very smooth, even carrying some elasticity upon touch, exuding a faint vitality and warmth. Lu Changsheng injected his own mana into it. But the Mystic Wood Gourd before him seemed like a bottomless pit; no matter how much mana was injected, there was no effect. A moment later, he forced out a drop of essence blood onto the gourd. Yet, after the Mysterious Heaven Gourd absorbed the drop of essence blood, there was still no reaction. "Interesting." Lu Changsheng chuckled lightly and put away the gourd. Preparing to research it well later, attempting to refine it through the "Divine Mechanism Hundred Refinement Technique." "Husband, how is this gourd?" Qu Zhenzhen and Lu Miaoyun looked at Lu Changsheng with anticipation. "Naturally, it’s an excellent treasure, thanks to my Zhenzhen and Yun’er for taking such care." Lu Changsheng smiled warmly. He could see that the gourd definitely belonged to the fourth-rank top-grade, a top-grade embryo! Although it wasn’t fifth-rank, but for him, it was entirely sufficient to refine a lifebound spiritual treasure—the Yin Yang Creation Gourd! "Hmm." Qu Zhenzhen, seeing her husband pleased, was also full of joy, feeling quite fulfilled. Lu Changsheng observed the Mysterious Heaven Spiritual Vine again, finding no significant difference from before. However, the Five Elements Soil seemed to have gained more vitality, its quality improved compared to earlier years. Gathering the Five Elements Soil slightly, he placed it next to the Mysterious Heaven Spiritual Vine and then Lu Changsheng and the two women went to the Mount Sumeru Cave Heaven. Aside from the vegetation and the air being fresh and ethereal, there was no significant change in the cave heaven. Lu Changsheng inquired about the specifics of Mount Sumeru. The latter indicated that the maturation of the Xuanwood Vine Fruit formed some innate pure qi, which could help perfect the origin source rules of its cave heaven. "Innate Pure Qi?" Lu Changsheng knew that there existed clear and turbid qi between heaven and earth. Pure qi, extremely pure and clean, contains endless vitality and the power of creation, able to form refined nature’s spiritual energy, aiding the growth of Spirit Vein and Spirit Plant. Like certain top-level Heaven and Earth Spiritual Plants and Spiritual Medicine, they might produce innate and acquired pure qi. Turbid energy, dark and murky, formed by various negative factors, contains countless dark evil, decay, disintegration, chaotic qi mechanism. Earlier, in the Myriad Demon Abyss where Lu Changsheng was, there was this dense acquired turbid energy. "Does innate pure qi help you, and what about acquired turbid energy?" Lu Changsheng inquired. "Yes." Mount Sumeru’s voice was ethereal and floated in his mind, indicating that it needed enough clear and turbid energy to perfect the cave heaven rules. It’s just that compared to turbid energy, it currently needed pure energy more at this stage. "Alright." Lu Changsheng nodded slightly, noting this down to see if there would be opportunities to obtain such innate pure qi in the future. ... In the following period, Lu Changsheng accompanied his wives in the Mount Sumeru Cave Heaven, waiting for his son’s wedding to commence. A few days later, Lu Changsheng researched the Mystic Wood Gourd. After refining through the "Divine Mechanism Hundred Refinement Technique," he applied a drop of essence blood. At this moment, the Mystic Wood Gourd conveyed an information. Not enough! Upon seeing this, Lu Changsheng’s essence blood started circulating through his body, flowing towards the Mystic Wood Gourd like a stream. As nearly one-third of the essence blood surged into the Mystic Wood Gourd, its emerald green jade-like surface turned into a bright red color, finally transmitting a sense of satisfaction. "Phew!" Lu Changsheng exhaled, looking pale and somewhat speechless. Thinking that recognizing this kind of treasure as a master is too difficult? Even possessing fourth-rank body refining, it consumed nearly one-third of his essence blood. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂 If it were an ordinary cultivator, they’d probably end up a dried husk and still be unable to satisfy this Mystic Wood Gourd, right? Just as the gourd’s bright red blood and purple-black patterns continued to intertwine, forming complex, tadpole-like runes, which then flew toward Lu Changsheng, transforming into a stream of information. "Mystic Wood Gourd, fourth-rank top-grade...." Lu Changsheng came to know the complete details of this gourd, its effects and functions. First, it can absorb various energies. Like toxic energy, evil qi, turbid energy, etc., can all be absorbed. Even others’ supernatural divine ability and spell can try to be absorbed and contained by the gourd, then decomposed. Second, it can nurture spirit pills, spiritual medicine, and the spiritual essence of magical treasures! The Mystic Wood Gourd carries a force of vitality and creation, where spirit pills and spiritual medicine can be stored without the worry of withering, even becoming more pure. Magical treasures and spiritual treasures can also be placed in the gourd for nurturing, with the wood attribute magical treasures having the best effect. Of course, this nurturing effect is limited. Or rather, the vitality and power of creation for nurturing spirit pills, spiritual medicine, and magical treasures are limited; if too many things need nurturing, then the effect becomes negligible.
