Chongming Xianzong

Chapter 14 Hunyuan Gourd
Three months later, in a remote cave in Baisha County.

"Phew! Good times will come after bad times." Kang Dabao felt the spiritual power around him was more abundant than ever before, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

"Is this the fifth level of Qi training? Damn, I finally broke through." I still have to thank Niu Guier. If I hadn't found a realm-breaking pill in his storage bag, I would probably have to work hard to break through.

As for the problem of elixir, there is no need to worry too much. He took out a Jingmai Pill from Gu Laoliu's storage bag. I don't know if he had exchanged it with Taoist Wu in private.

This was extremely good luck. If he hadn't encountered this kind of melee, it would have been difficult for him to win against the fourth son of the Liu family relying on his previous ability of not being able to use the Golden Eyes to See Through Illusions.

The injuries are actually mostly healed. After all, this is not a web game where you can't recover all your health by leveling up.

There were even more other losses. Just buying a white-shelled tortoise cost nearly sixty spirit stones.

With the help of the beast-taming techniques handed down by the sect and with the help of various resources, if they are raised properly, they can reach adulthood of the first-class upper grade in less than eighty years, and their lifespan can be as long as five hundred years.

After careful selection, he specially picked someone who could take care of him in his old age and see him to the end of his life, and who could also protect Emperor Chongming.

After I got it, I have been playing with it every day for nearly ten years. I am just short of giving it a name and raising it as my son.

It was not until the end that he was about to advance to the first-level intermediate grade, but in the end he still died under the flywheel of the second son of the Liu family. How could he not feel heartbroken.

The Mountain-Splitting Hammer was also a good first-grade, mid-quality magical weapon, but it was not saved and was destroyed.

But the benefits are even more astonishing.

As the saying goes, a man cannot become rich without unexpected wealth, and a horse cannot become fat without night grass.

Kang Dabao sorted out more than 2,200 spirit stones from the messy storage bag.

Among them, the four brothers of the Liu family alone contributed 70% of it, and this was even after they spent a large amount of money to purchase a Tianleizi.

Bai Bian is an elder of the Bai family in Baisha and a well-known late-stage cultivator in the vicinity. He has a great reputation, but compared with these evil cultivators, his wealth is really rather shabby.

No wonder the world is getting worse and worse, because it is so easy to make money through illegal means.

It is said that the four heads of the Liu brothers can be taken to the Baisha Jiumo Division to receive a reward of two thousand spirit stones!

But after thinking about it, I decided it would be better to go there after some time.

So many well-known cultivators in the surrounding areas died this time, including old cultivator like Bai Bian from the Bai family who had complicated relationships in this area. If you rashly go to claim the reward, you might get into trouble.

Anyway, I have enough spiritual stones now, so there is no rush to get them. Even if I need them urgently, it would be safer to ask the second and third brothers to go with me.

There are about seventeen or eighteen miscellaneous magical instruments in total, and the most valuable ones should be the two flying swords of the Liu family boss and Bai Bian.

They are all top-grade, first-class items. These two flying swords alone are estimated to be worth nearly two thousand yuan. Unfortunately, they are difficult to cash in within a short period of time.

Either you go to the black market and get ripped off, or you keep it and sell it slowly in a few more distant places.

One solution is to keep it among the three brothers and share it.

But firstly, these were things with origins in the circle of cultivators, and they would be hard to explain if they met someone they knew. Secondly, whether the three Kang Dabao brothers could use these strange magical weapons from this group of evildoers easily was another matter.

Roughly speaking, the harvest from this trip is worth several thousand spirit stones, which is quite generous. Even when Master was still alive, the sect was not so wealthy!

However, the biggest gain this time should be this gourd.

He carefully stroked this palm-sized treasure. It had black glaze, a red base, a silver-plated stopper and a purple-copper mouth. It was not beautiful at all.

Actually, this is what he saw in a mortal tavern when he was doing business. Suddenly he felt that he was missing a gourd to hold water, so he exchanged it with the old man in the tavern.

I have been using it to drink water and there has been no abnormality, so how come it suddenly became a treasure?

This is not my fault. The blood of a monk is still blood. Who would have the habit of dripping blood on everything they get from the outside world?

After being covered in dust for a long time in Kang Dabao's hands, the veil of this treasure was finally unveiled by accident.

From this perspective, the Liu family boss, who used ruthless means to really scalp Kang Dabao, can really be said to be a benefactor of Kang Dabao.

During this period, apart from healing his wounds, he was studying this gourd.

As for that piece of black bone, damn it, I was even on the verge of life and death, but I didn’t react at all.

Bah! What a divine object, it's just a waste, a waste of my time. I wish I could go back and stew it for my old donkey to nourish his body.

But what kind of treasure is this gourd? ! For the first time, Master Kang felt so frustrated about his dull talent. It was obvious that it had reacted just by being rubbed with blood before, but now it had been subjected to blood sacrifice, fire refining, and spirit forging.
With his limited knowledge of cultivating immortals, he tried every method he could find, but there was still no response.

The head of Kangda Sect was so anxious that he was jumping up and down like a monkey. He was begging for food with a mountain of gold on his back! How could he not be anxious?

It was not until nine days of dripping blood and essence that Kang Dabao finally got a glimpse of the key. A wisp of green smoke slowly rose from the mouth of the gourd.

"The Hunyuan Gourd creates green smoke."

Kang Dabao knew the real name of the gourd and the purpose of the wisp of green smoke. He realized that this was the origin of this treasure. It could have been used twice, but now it could only be used once.

It is not a means that can be triggered actively, it can only save a life in a critical moment.

He didn't feel sorry for using it on the eldest brother of the Liu family. No matter whether the opponent was practicing Qi or building a foundation, he could eventually take his life.

I just can't figure out if the Liu family boss can kill someone who is practicing Qi, I guess he can kill someone who is building a foundation, but I don't know if he can really practice Jindan, or...
Thinking further would be a bit presumptuous, so Kang Dabao quickly stopped the idea. It would be better not to use such means if possible.

The essence of this treasure is flawed and its source cannot repair itself. Once it is used up, it will become waste.

Thinking of this, he took out a ceramic bowl from his storage bag, turned the gourd mouth downward, and a stream of spiritual dew slowly poured out from the gourd mouth. Kang Dabao held the bowl steadily, not wanting to let even a single drop of it splash out.

Normally, Kang Dabao would never dare to drink such things with no origin.

For some spiritual objects, even if you know they are good things, the way to deal with them is completely different for a Jindan or a Qigong practitioner. This is the reason why the saying "one man's honey is another man's poison" applies.

If you swallow it rashly, there may not be any good results.

However, as soon as he saw the bowl of spiritual dew, Kang Dabao couldn't control himself. All rational thoughts disappeared and he drank it in one gulp.

As soon as you take it in your mouth, you will feel relaxed all over, all the pores in your body will open up, and the foul air will be released.

The whole person appears to be radiant with spiritual light and an endless sense of holiness.

He continued regulating his breathing like this for another three days. Although Kang Dabao, a Qigong practitioner, had not yet started fasting, he did not feel hungry when he opened his eyes. Instead, his golden eyes were much brighter than before.

"This spiritual dew not only increases my cultivation speed, purifies my spiritual energy, but also improves my talent for pupil skills. There is such a treasure in the world!"

Kang Dabao circulated his spiritual power for a week and felt that his fifth level of Qi training had been completely stabilized. It didn't seem like he had just broken through, but rather had been doing so for many years.

Not only that, the speed of cultivation has also increased by 60%, which is comparable to the speed of cultivation of three spiritual roots.

He couldn't help but be happy about such a good thing.

"It's a pity that we only get one bowl in twelve years, otherwise I would let the second and third brothers drink this spiritual dew when I go back this time." Master Kang began to covet more.

If we could produce a bowl of this spiritual dew every day, my Taoist Chongming Sect would be able to take off!

What's the point of dominating Pingrong County? Even if you become the number one sect in Yunjiaozhou, you still have a chance. You may even be able to become a Jindan ancestor.

By that time, his title as the founder of the revival of the country would be set in stone!

"I don't know how to restore the origin of this gourd?" Master Kang thought hard.

But this was something that could not be discussed with anyone, so Master Kang had no choice but to hesitate.

This is because all of my hair was almost cut off by the eldest brother of the Liu family. Now that my scalp has grown back, I don’t know if and when my hair will grow back.

Although he knew that his appearance was not outstanding, Master Kang was still obsessed with his shiny black hair. He felt that he was no worse than those young men from big sects. It was indeed sad that it was gone now.

After daydreaming for a while, Kang Dabao calmed down and started preparing for the return trip.

Let’s go home first. We’ve been away for so long, it’s time to go back to the clan.

The battle three months ago involved a lot of people, and he had not had time to pass on the news to Yuan Jin and Jiang Qing, so the two of them must be worried.

To be honest, I am a little envious of Niu Guier's magic skill of controlling paper figures. Although it is of little use in fighting, it is good for delivering messages.

Thinking of this, he opened his storage bag and started searching again.

　The book has a golden finger, and it won't be particularly amazing in the early stage, so you can rest assured.
