Chapter 1592: Six Gourds

The six gourds have all fully matured, and after being nurtured during this period, they have all reached their peak; it is time to harvest them for refinement.

These six gourds have different properties; among them, the red gourd possesses the ability to scatter souls, capable of polluting a soul and even refining it into soul water.

The gold gourd possesses the ability to summon, similar to the Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix characteristic, but its range is far greater, and the targets it can affect are also broader.

The yellow gourd contains a special true spirit that can release a white radiance, capable of pinning down an opponent's Niwan Palace, sealing their primordial spirit and magic power, preventing the enemy from transforming, making it impossible for them to escape or resist, killing them invisibly.

The green gourd is very unique, forming a space of its own; its interior is a void of chaos, and ordinary objects that fall into it will be assimilated by the chaos within a short time.

The cyan gourd contains rich innate water and fire essence, appearing in the shape of a yin-yang taiji.

The blue gourd is quite peculiar, possessing the same effect of nurturing treasures as the Nine Heavens Clear Qi Pagoda, but with a wider range, not limited to Strange Treasures, and with a stronger nurturing effect, as well as the effect of storing laws.

As for the purple gourd, which is refined into the Purple Gold Gourd, it possesses the effect of nurturing Alchemical Pills and can also be used to capture people.

The seven gourds nurtured by the Gourd Vine are truly extraordinary; even without adding any materials, as long as they are refined a little, they can become powerful Strange Treasures.

During this time, Li Zhangsheng had already prepared the refinement plans for these six gourds.

Not long after, Li Zhangsheng opened the Universe Cauldron and tossed the red gourd into it, adding some Fusang Tree Branch along with it.

Once the Fusang Tree Branch was refined, it turned into a large amount of crystal-clear red liquid.

After the quenching was completed, Li Zhangsheng changed his Seal Technique, and this red liquid immediately divided into countless portions, each only the size of a grain of sand, rushing into the red gourd one after another.

From beginning to end, Li Zhangsheng did not let the red gourd melt completely, only allowing signs of melting to appear on its surface.

The next moment, Li Zhangsheng cast countless Silver Seal Scripts, which landed on the surface of the red gourd and slowly merged into it.

During this process, the red liquid inside the red gourd was also enveloped by the countless Silver Seal Scripts, finally condensing into shape and turning into grains of fire-red, crystal-clear sand.

After more than half a day, Li Zhangsheng opened the lid of the Universe Cauldron, and the refined red gourd rushed out.

The red gourd was three feet and three inches long, its entire body fire-red and crystal-clear; its method of attack was very simple, flying out a sky-covering amount of fire-red sand at once, possessing powerful fire-element damage while these fire-red crystal sands were tainted with the red gourd's trait of polluting souls, causing the opponent's body and soul to be injured simultaneously.

Judging from the feedback of his Mental Power, the Nine-Nine Soul-Scattering Gourd had initially reached the Superior Quality Langhuan Zhibao level.

"I shall call you the Nine-Nine Soul-Scattering Gourd!"

Li Zhangsheng had a flash of inspiration, and he did not know why, but he chose such a name.

He did not immediately refine the second gourd, but instead adjusted his breathing and meditated, restoring his state to its peak.

After half an hour, Li Zhangsheng threw the gold gourd, the tail feathers of an Emperor Rank three-legged Golden Crow, and a Demon Core into the Universe Cauldron.

The reason for choosing the materials of the three-legged Golden Crow was mainly because they best matched the traits of the gold gourd.

After some busyness, another half a day passed, and the gold gourd was finally finished, falling into Li Zhangsheng's hands.

Utilizing the materials of the three-legged Golden Crow, the gold gourd could summon wild Spirit Beasts within a range; the effect was quite similar to the Myriad Demon Banner, yet it did not have the power of life and death over the Spirit Beasts like the Myriad Demon Banner.

Additionally, the gold gourd also had its own flaws, which was that it could not summon specific wild Spirit Beasts individually; every time it was used, it would forcibly summon all wild Spirit Beasts within the range.

Of course, the effect was related to the user; even Li Zhangsheng could not forcibly summon Emperor Rank wild Spirit Beasts within the range, and even Demon Emperor Level ones might not be affected, mainly because the power was too dispersed to be of much help to him.

Based on the effect of the gold gourd, Li Zhangsheng named it the Summoning Demon Gourd.

In the following time, Li Zhangsheng successively finished refining the remaining four gourds, taking a total of more than ten days.

The reason the average time was significantly longer than before was mainly because the latter four gourds were quite peculiar, and their refinement required more energy and materials.

However, it was all worth it.

Among them, the yellow gourd contained a ray of radiance, over three zhang high; a thing appeared on top, seven inches long, with eyebrows and eyes, and two white lights could shoot out from the eyes, directly pinning down the opponent's soul.

Not only that, but one could also make the gourd turn around, which would cause the opponent's head to fall to the ground.

As for whether it could pin down an Emperor Rank Divine Beast, he would have to try it to know.

Given that the power was too strong, it was impossible for Li Zhangsheng to let his own Demon Pets test it.

Thus, Li Zhangsheng called it the Immortal-Slaying Gourd, and given that the ray of radiance resembled a flying blade, it was also known as the Immortal-Slaying Flying Blade.

Like the previous two gourds, the Immortal-Slaying Gourd was also a Superior Quality Langhuan Zhibao.

As for the green gourd containing chaos, it was the one with the highest quality and the longest gestation time among all the gourds.

Therefore, it was also the most troublesome to refine.

The result was very gratifying; Li Zhangsheng specially added Space Willow Tree branches, Ancestral Dragon Reverse Scale, and Dragon Horn, and after refinement, the chaos inside the green gourd became exceptionally stable, even reaching the Jipin Langhuan Zhibao level, making it the only Jipin Langhuan Zhibao among the seven gourds.

Given that the green gourd possessed a chaotic space, Li Zhangsheng called it the Chaos Gourd.

The innate water and fire essence in the cyan gourd was refined by Li Zhangsheng into a pair of Water-Fire Qilin; the two combined could contend with an Emperor Rank Divine Beast, but there was a certain time limit.

The cyan gourd was called the Water-Fire Gourd by Li Zhangsheng, and its rank remained a Superior Quality Langhuan Zhibao.

The blue gourd was also refined into a Superior Quality Langhuan Zhibao; during the refinement process, Li Zhangsheng raised the effect of nurturing treasures to the extreme.

As long as the treasure's rank was lower than the blue gourd, theoretically, it could reach the same rank as the blue gourd if nurtured in the blue gourd for a sufficient amount of time.

Theory is theory; the lower the rank of the treasure, the faster it advances and the better the effect, while those high-rank treasures that are not much different from the blue gourd would likely require time calculated in centuries, millennia, or even ten thousand years.

Therefore, the blue gourd was called the Nurturing Gourd by Li Zhangsheng.

Thus, the six gourds had been completely refined.

The only pity was that, including the Purple Gold Gourd, these seven gourds could not be refined into a combined treasure at all, mainly because their functions were too peculiar; apart from all being born from the Gourd Vine, they had almost no other commonalities.

Li Zhangsheng thought for a moment and only took the Chaos Gourd, the Nurturing Gourd, and the Immortal-Slaying Gourd, giving the remaining three gourds entirely to Ning Bizhen, which added a few more means for the two of them.
