Chapter 320

Time flew by.

In the blink of an eye, a hundred years had passed.

Over the past hundred years, Zhang Xingyu finally transformed his core into an infant, becoming a Nascent Soul early-stage cultivator.

At this moment, a thumb-sized infant was floating above his spiritual sea.

The infant's appearance was somewhat similar to Zhang Xingyu's. His body flickered with firelight, and from a distance, he looked like a tiny flame.

Bing Fire Spirit Infant, a very common Nascent Soul.

According to the cultivator's spiritual root attributes, the Nascent Soul formed by a cultivator can be roughly divided into: Fire Spirit Infant, Water Spirit Infant, Wood Spirit Infant, Earth Spirit Infant, Metal Spirit Infant, Thunder Spirit Infant, Ice Spirit Infant, Wind Spirit Infant, etc.

According to the level of the cultivation technique practiced and the quality of the spiritual power, the quality of the condensed Spirit Infant also varies. For example, a cultivator practicing ordinary Bing Fire attribute techniques has their Spirit Infant called a Bing Fire Spirit Infant; a cultivator practicing the Samadhi True Fire technique has their Spirit Infant called a True Fire Spirit Infant; a cultivator practicing the Departing Fire technique has their Spirit Infant called a Departing Fire Spirit Infant.

Among these three types of fire attribute Spirit Infants, the Bing Fire Spirit Infant has the weakest power, and the Departing Fire Spirit Infant has the strongest power.

In the Central Domain Immortal Continent, the most famous sect for practicing fire attribute techniques is the Samadhi Divine Palace. In the Samadhi Divine Palace, most Nascent Soul cultivators condense True Fire Spirit Infants, and there are individual Nascent Soul cultivators who practice the sect's town-protecting technique, the Departing Fire Immortal Classic, and condense Departing Fire Spirit Infants. Therefore, the ancestors of the Samadhi Divine Palace are also called the ancestors of fire by other sects.

Zhang Xingyu shook his head. The joy of forming a Nascent Soul vanished at this moment.

He looked at his Bing Fire Spirit Infant with some disdain. This kind of bottom-tier stuff really didn't match the status of a genius like himself, who only appears once in ten thousand years.

A miscalculation, a miscalculation.

That spark containing the Heaven-rank spiritual fire, the Profound Extreme Heavenly Fire, was still lying quietly in his storage ring.

That book containing the Samadhi Divine Palace's town-protecting immortal technique, the Departing Fire True Classic, was still lying quietly in his storage ring.

How did he not think of it?

First use the spark to improve his spiritual root quality, then practice the Departing Fire True Classic, and the final condensed Nascent Soul would most likely be a Departing Fire Spirit Infant.

It's a pit. And the kind where he pitted himself.

While struggling, Zhang Xingyu reached out and pushed the stone gate in front of him.

The stone gate opened in response.

Zhang Xingyu turned to stone instantly.

Inside the gate was a large hall, and in the hall sat seven children of different skin colors.

There were those from Africa, Europe, Oceania, and those from Mars, Mercury, and Jupiter. The most peculiar one had light flickering on his body, most likely from the Light Kingdom in mythology.

That child from Mars had a tuft of fiery red hair on his head, a bright red birthmark between his eyebrows, wore a vermilion bellyband, and had four strings of shining bells on his little arms and legs.

Zhang Xingyu stared intently at this little guy.

To be precise, he was staring intently at a small bronze cauldron held in the little guy's hands.

This small cauldron was palm-sized, with three legs and six ears, and nine golden dragons with bared fangs and brandished claws were coiled on the cauldron's body.

The heads of the nine golden dragons were resting on the mouth of the cauldron, constantly spitting white flames into it.

Could this small bronze cauldron be the real Nine Dragon Divine Fire Cauldron?

Zhang Xingyu's eyes became scorching hot.

Greed grew wildly in his heart like weeds that had eaten growth stimulants.

Just then, the seven children had already surrounded him.

They pointed at Zhang Xingyu and occasionally let out giggles.

After a while, the Martian child holding the small cauldron asked Zhang Xingyu loudly: "Big dummy, where did you come from?"

The child's question woke Zhang Xingyu from his greed.

He shook his head.

That was close, that was close.

Treasures move the heart, he had almost fallen for the greed demon's trick.

He fixed his eyes on the children in front of him. The other six children were dressed similarly to the Martian child, only their skin colors and clothing colors were different.

He thought for a moment and asked: "Little friends, who are you? Where are your parents?"

The seven children looked at each other, not understanding what Zhang Xingyu meant.

The Martian child reacted the fastest and said: "Big dummy, you tell us first, where did you come from?"

"Me? Of course I came from outside. Xuantiandalu, Central Domain Immortal Continent, Tenggerila Desert. Know it?" Zhang Xingyu replied.

A look of joy appeared on the faces of the seven children. Their lips moved rapidly, and a series of questions were already asked.

"Are you really from outside?"

"Is the outside world fun?"

"Where is Xuantiandalu?"

"What's fun in the Central Domain Immortal Continent?"

"What is the Tenggerila Desert?"

The seven children spoke all at once, and Zhang Xingyu felt like a swarm of mosquitoes was buzzing in his ears.

He stood blankly for a long time before making a "pause" gesture: "Stop! Stop! Pause!"

The seven children were stunned for a moment, but they all closed their mouths in unison.

Zhang Xingyu looked at them and pointed at the Martian child: "I will introduce the outside world to you in detail later. Now, please tell me, what place is this?"

A minute later, Zhang Xingyu got the answer he wanted.

It turned out that this was the center of the Gourd World, and through this place, one could travel to the other several gourd spaces. These seven children were the original inhabitants of the Gourd World, each coming from one of the seven gourd spaces. They had no parents, and they had never been to the outside world.

Gourd World? Could it be the gourd that the old beggar used to hold wine?

It doesn't seem like it. I remember the old beggar used a gourd to hold wine. If it really was that gourd, how much wine would it have to hold?

Zhang Xingyu thought for a moment and asked again: "Then, how can one leave this Gourd World?"

The seven children shook their heads in unison: "This Gourd World cannot be exited."

The Martian child introduced that his brothers had tried all kinds of methods, but none of them could find a way out.

They once wanted to dig through this world, but after digging for a year, they didn't dig through.

They once wanted to climb the high mountain to climb out from the top, but after climbing for a year, they still hadn't reached the top.

After trying many methods, the little brats gave up.

If you can't get out, then just play happily in the Gourd World.

However, the seven children were genuinely happy about Zhang Xingyu's arrival.

With an outsider here, life would be much more interesting.

Zhang Xingyu shook his head, truly seven pitiful children.

He had a guess in his heart that these seven pitiful children were most likely the artifact spirits of this Seven Treasures Immortal Gourd.

After thinking about it, he took out a pile of snacks and handed them over.

Five-spice beef jerky, spicy dried tofu, garlic peanuts, pickled chicken feet, salt and pepper meat cubes.

The children gathered in a circle and ate happily.

Zhang Xingyu took out a bottle of spirit liquor and handed it over.

The Martian child took the spirit liquor, smelled it, and threw it back in disgust.

"We've drunk the stuff inside, it tastes terrible!" the Martian child said.

Zhang Xingyu nodded and put away the spirit liquor.

Kids, it's fine not to drink. Otherwise, he would become a sinner who poisons teenagers and children.
