GBP Chapter 4 Innate Treasure, Golden Gourd
Chapter 4 Innate Treasure, Golden Gourd
Gu Qing rushed to the cultivator district in the south of the city.
The items sold here are all for cultivators; ordinary people generally do not set foot here.
Based on the information provided by the system, Gu Qing arrived in front of an old man.
The stall was filled with all sorts of strange and unusual items, including weapon fragments, bottles and jars, minerals, and books.
Gu Qing picked up a fist-sized golden gourd, pretended to examine it, and asked.
"What kind of gourd is this? It looks a bit like it's made of gold!"
The old man frowned, his long, white eyebrows furrowing, and his face showed impatience.
"Boy, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand. This is a treasure that I found in an ancient ruin."
"Oh!"
Gu Qing smiled noncommittally and said, "Treasures from ancient ruins, even a single stone, are not cheap. I wonder how many spirit stones you plan to sell this ancient treasure for?"
The old man sensed the sarcasm in Gu Qing's words, but he was not embarrassed at all and calmly replied.
"I'm not lying to you. I really did find this in a cultivator's cave. Don't be fooled by the fact that it doesn't have any spiritual energy. It's definitely not made of gold. If you don't believe me, try cutting it a few times with a spiritual weapon. If you can damage it, I'll give it to you."
Magical artifacts all possess spiritual energy, but this golden gourd lacks spiritual energy and is like an inanimate object. However, gold cannot withstand the attack of a magical artifact.
He tested it with the magical artifact, but it didn't cause any damage. At first, he thought he had found a treasure, but the divine object concealed itself.
After a series of experiments, nothing was found.
The old man believed that this was made of a special metal that could not bear spiritual power and had no use other than being hard.
He had handled many similar items. If the design was exquisite, it was worth some spirit stones; if the appearance was poor, he was lucky to sell it for one spirit stone.
"So how much are you planning to sell it for? If it's more than one low-grade spirit stone, then I'll give you my price."
Gu Qing said with little interest.
"Alright! I'll sell it to you!"
The old man originally planned to ask for thirty spirit stones, but after some bargaining, he could sell it for at least ten spirit stones.
But Gu Qing could tell at a glance that this person was not easy to fool, so he didn't bother with any more words. Selling one spirit stone was not bad; it was better than having it stuck in his hands.
"All right!"
Gu Qing was overjoyed. She took out a spirit stone from her storage bag, tossed it to him, and hurriedly left.
[Ding! Congratulations, host, for intercepting Lin Chen's opportunity to rise to power and plundering his luck points.]
"so much?"
Gu Qing asked in surprise.
Lin Chen only has 100,000 units of luck. If he loses half of it all at once, wouldn't Lin Chen, the protagonist, be half-useless?
It seems that this golden gourd is of great importance to Lin Chen, definitely a treasure, or even a treasure that has been present throughout Lin Chen's growth.
Gu Qing became more and more excited as she thought about it, and hurriedly asked.
"What level of magic weapon is this golden gourd?"
[It is a rare innate treasure capable of melting and refining all things into the purest form of energy.]
"A rare innate treasure?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Qing's heart pounded with excitement.
Primordial treasures are supreme treasures that existed before heaven and earth, containing innate and indestructible spiritual light.
Innate treasures include innate spiritual treasures and innate rare treasures.
Innate spiritual treasures are magical artifacts containing innate laws, with endless wondrous uses.
Innate treasures are treasures with extraordinary abilities.
Both have their own unique uses.
This golden gourd has the ability to melt all things, so there will be no shortage of cultivation resources from now on.
"The protagonist's luck is truly amazing; he even manages to encounter innate treasures." Gu Qing said with envy, while also feeling extremely fortunate.
Fortunately, I have the Super Anti-Armor System, otherwise I could only watch helplessly as Lin Chen made a comeback with his cheat code.
[Host, there's no need to be envious. You possess a system, making you an anomaly. Your future achievements will definitely surpass those of these destined protagonists.]
An anomaly is a variable, a missing element, representing infinite possibilities.
[Moreover, the host currently possesses 52,000 units of luck, an overwhelming amount, making him practically a protagonist in himself.]
"So, will I be like the protagonist from now on, with all my wishes coming true and whatever I think of appearing?"
You have to understand that the protagonist is a completely unreasonable being.
No matter what rare treasure you're missing, just go out for a stroll and you'll immediately find out the news and obtain it without any danger.
Those ancient, unseen realms will be unlocked as the protagonist passes through them.
In short, whatever the protagonist needs, he will have; it's as if the whole world revolves around him.
[Perhaps it will be possible once the host's luck exceeds 100,000.]
Luck is a very mysterious thing, and even the system can't say for sure.
"Yeah, that's right!"
Gu Qing nodded in agreement. Luck is inherently elusive and mysterious.
If it can be accurately predicted, is it still called luck?
"By the way, how do I use the golden gourd?"
[It's simple. The host only needs to infuse it with blood essence or true energy, and then act according to their will.]
"So simple?"
Gu Qing was taken aback, somewhat disbelieving.
If the golden gourd were that easy to use, the stall owner should already know how to use it.
It makes no sense that you wouldn't check the items you're selling first.
With this in mind, Gu Qing went to the mountains outside the city and threw the remaining ninety-nine spirit stones on the ground.
Following the system's methods, infuse your vital energy and let your mind guide your actions.
The golden gourd appeared completely still, like a dead object, but a suction force emanated from its mouth, drawing all the spirit stones inside.
emm.
It really is that simple.
But if it weren't for the system reminder, Gu Qing would definitely have thought the same as the stall owner.
If there is no unusual reaction after infusing true energy, one will subconsciously think that it is an inanimate object.
We can either try a different method or give up entirely.
This is a normal person's thought.
No normal person would knowingly use an inanimate object as a magical artifact.
It can only be said that innate treasures are indeed extraordinary; they can be used without any refining required.
After waiting for a while, Gu Qing opened the golden gourd. The spirit stones had been refined into a purer spiritual liquid, without any impurities, and could be absorbed directly.
Gu Qing swallowed it in one gulp, and a surge of powerful energy overflowed within his body. Gu Qing immediately began to circulate the Yin-Yang Great Dao Song to refine it.
The spiritual liquid was absorbed by the Dao Bone, and Gu Qing quickly broke through to the peak of the first level of the Qi Condensation Realm.
"The speed at which my cultivation level is improving is too fast."
Gu Qing's eyes sparkled with excitement.
You must know that cultivation is difficult, as difficult as ascending to heaven.
The meridians in the human body are very fragile, and after they are unblocked, they need time to be nurtured.
Secondly, spirit stones contain impurities and need to be refined and purified before they can be absorbed and used for one's own purposes, which takes time.
With the aid of the Dao Bone and the Yin-Yang Great Dao Song, his cultivation level improved at lightning speed, as if all cultivation difficulties did not exist.
Now with the addition of the Golden Gourd, breaking through realms will be as easy as a rocket, making you incredibly powerful.
With that in mind, Gu Qing headed straight for the Monster Mountain Range, hunted monsters, and then threw them into the Golden Gourd for purification.
Moreover, there are system rewards for killing monsters, which doubles the fun.
What he lacks most right now is cultivation resources, as well as various martial arts techniques.
I don't know if the system can actually get it.
……
"puff!"
An overwhelming backlash struck, causing Lin Chen to spit out a mouthful of blood. It felt as if something precious had been stripped away from his body, leaving him panicked and disoriented.
"what happened to you?"
The broken sword in Lin Chen's mind trembled, and a woman's concerned voice came through it.
"I do not know."
Lin Chen touched his chest and said, his face pale.
While in the salary hall, he felt a suffocating sense of oppression, as if an irresistible force was stripping him of his very essence.
However, this feeling came and went quickly, so he didn't pay much attention to it, thinking it was a problem with his cultivation.
Now that I'm home, this feeling has returned, even stronger than last time, and I'm directly injured by the backlash.
"Strange, I'm not cursed, could it be..."
She thought of the interaction between heaven and man, and the warning from the heavens.
In this fantasy world, once you reach a certain level of cultivation, you will experience a connection with the heavens and the earth.
It can sense the malice of some people, as well as the theft of opportunities.
Of course, this kind of interaction between humanity and nature can be relatively shielded.
The warnings from Heaven are, in essence, a matter of luck or a cryptic warning from the ethereal Heavenly Way.
The warnings from Heaven cannot be blocked.
However, only those with great fortune receive warnings from Heaven.
If someone steals your opportunity, you will suffer a backlash from bad luck.
But she couldn't understand why Lin Chen was being harmed by bad luck.
How could someone with great fortune have their opportunities snatched away?
