The Purple-Robed Celestial Master has turned into a zombie?! Who can stand that?!

Chapter 91 The Black Gourd
Inside the spiritual field space, Zhang Tianlu poured two scoops of water on the Nine Demon Gourd Vine.

Look at this thick gourd vine.

The gourd vine is still in its growing and forming stage.

But the aura emanating from the gourd vine alone was enough to make Zhang Tianlu sense that something was unusual.

A terrifying demonic aura flowed throughout the entire gourd vine.

Just by looking at the gourd vine, you can tell it's of excellent quality; anything that grows from this vine is bound to be of high quality.

Zhang Tianlu was a little worried, so he asked the system.

The system claimed that its Nine Demon Gourd Seed was of the same quality as the legendary gourd vine on Mount Buzhou.

But the key issue is that the gourd vine on Mount Buzhou was growing on the pillar of heaven, and it was growing right after heaven and earth separated.

It absorbed a large amount of pure spiritual energy from heaven and earth, and even chaotic spiritual energy.

That's why it can grow healthily until the gourd matures.

But what I have in my hands is this barren environment.

With this mere one-acre cultivation bag of spiritual fields, basic soil, and spiritual spring, can I really cultivate something on par with the gourd vine on Mount Buzhou?
This is equivalent to someone born into a royal family, living a life of luxury from a young age, surrounded by dozens of teachers, conversing with learned scholars, and having no commoners among their acquaintances.

The other was born and raised in a farming family in a resource-poor area, and had hardly ever read a book.

Can two people like these reach the same level as adults?

Zhang Tianlu didn't believe it.

The system's response was as follows.

If this Nine Demon Gourd Vine were allowed to grow and mature in Zhang Tianlu's small spiritual cultivation bag without any interference along the way...

That's true. They'll almost certainly suffer from malnutrition, and the probability of them dying out is much higher than the probability of them maturing.

Therefore, the system suggests that you plant the seeds, but don't actually plant them.

If you really want the Nine Demon Gourd Vine to mature and grow gourds, you'll have to rely on the system to artificially accelerate its ripening.

The system's points are the universal ripening agent.

Its effects are comparable to those of chaotic spiritual energy.

Zhang Tianlu can use his points to accelerate the ripening of the Nine Demon Gourd Vine.

Gourds ripened using points are definitely fine; the system guarantees they won't suffer from malnutrition.

Zhang Tianlu: "In the end, we still need a lot of points to accelerate the ripening process."

Zhang Tianlu looked at the 2000 million points he had left in his account.

He asked, "How do we accelerate the ripening of this Nine Demon Gourd Vine?"

The next second, a notification popped up in front of him.

"Do you wish to spend 1000 points to accelerate the growth of the Nine Demon Gourd Vine?"

"Note: The point-based ripening process is not a one-time event; the number of attempts required to ripen the gourd each time is random!"

Zhang Tianlu finally understood.

The system instructed him to use points to accelerate the ripening of the Nine Demon Gourd Vine.

1000 points can be used to accelerate ripening once, but it's not guaranteed to succeed on the first try.

The exact number of ripening cycles required depends on the gourd's growth rate.

It could be a hundred times, or it could be a thousand times, or even ten thousand times.

Anyway, it requires a huge amount of points.

but……

If it costs 1000 points per attempt, I might give it a try.

Zhang Tianlu has 2000 million points.

It can ripen 2 times.

With 2 chances to ripen, surely that should be enough to ripen a gourd.

Zhang Tianlu then gave it a try.

Confirmed ripening process.

He then began deducting points, channeling them into the Nine Demon Gourd Vine within the Spirit Field to catalyze its growth.

This is similar to experience points in old farming games.

Each time Zhang Tianlu spends points to accelerate the ripening process, the first gourd on the Nine Demon Gourd Vine will grow a little larger.

Gradually, the points in Zhang Tianlu's account kept increasing.

Points are dwindling, while the gourd is getting bigger.

Finally, it grew into a black gourd the size of a palm.

Zhang Tianlu himself couldn't remember how many times he had forced the ripening of crops.

He glanced at his points balance one last time.

300 million points remaining?
Zhang Tianlu was startled.

Good guy!
What a trap!
2000 million points were directly burned through 1700 million.

There are 300 million points left.

It was like sucking himself clean in one go. But thankfully, the first Nine Heavens Demon Gourd was finally successfully ripened.

His hand reached out to touch the first mature Nine Heavens Demon Gourd.

This gourd is a black gourd.

The gourd's surface doesn't look like it grew naturally; it's pitted and uneven, as if covered with a layer of black sand.

A layer of demonic energy flowed on the outside of the gourd.

Zhang Tianlu's corpse claws touched the gourd, and he plucked the black gourd off.

As Zhang Tianlu removed the first Nine Heavens Demon Gourd.

The information about the Nine Heavens Demon Gourd appeared directly in his mind.

Magic Weapon Name: Devouring Heaven Demon Gourd
Supernatural power: It can collect all things in heaven and earth, and can put all people, demons, monsters, ghosts, gods and Buddhas in the three realms into the gourd and refine them at will.

Zhang Tianlu understood.

This first gourd is roughly the same type as the purple-gold red gourd that Laozi used to store elixirs in his Tushita Palace.

The purple-gold-red gourd in Laozi's hand was also used to collect things.

The one Zhang Tianlu has now is the same model.

However, it's darker in color, but I don't know how strong it is.

Zhang Tianlu pondered that he would have to find someone to try it out later.

They collected the first gourd that grew on the Nine Demon Gourd.

Zhang Tianlu was quite satisfied.

Although it's the same style as Laozi's.

but……

That is, after all, Laozi!
One of the Three Pure Ones

A figure of the Dao Ancestor level,
Are there any weak versions of the same magical artifact as his?

Just one item, identical to the one worn by the Three Pure Ones, is enough to outshine countless other magical treasures.

This Nine Demon Gourd Vine is indeed a good thing.

It has only produced its first gourd.

I've managed to get such a wonderful treasure.

Zhang Tianlu looked at the gourd vine, where many gourd seedlings were about to grow.

Upon closer inspection, aside from the first gourd that he had already picked, there was nothing else.

There are eight more small gourds solidifying behind them.

In other words, a total of nine gourds can indeed grow on the Nine Demon Gourd Vine.

Zhang Tianlu checked the ripening interface of the second magic gourd.

"System notification: This ripening process will deduct 5000 points!"

Zhang Tianlu was originally thinking about whether he should try to ripen a second gourd.

But then I looked at the price.

The price has been raised directly.

It only costs 1000 points to ripen the first gourd.

Now it's the second one, and it's increased to 5000 points per time.

What's the point of rushing this?
Zhang Tianlu gave up immediately.

just forget it.

I only have 300 million points left, so I'd better just keep them.

We'll talk about it later when we have enough points.

Anyway, the Nine Demon Gourd is here, so it can't run away.

Don't rush.

Zhang Tianlu then withdrew from the spirit field bag with the black gourd.

After exiting the spirit field bag.

In Zhang Tianlu's hand, there appeared a small black gourd, about the size of a palm.

Zhang Tianlu then refined it, turning it into his own exclusive magic weapon.

Then he pushed open the coffin and broke free.

As Zhang Tianlu emerged from the pass.

These demons and monsters live on Fenglei Mountain.

The six great ghost kings and several powerful demons hurriedly paid their respects.

"Greetings to the ancestor!"

Zhang Tianlu glanced at them and nodded.

"Everyone, get up."
