Chapter 1999: Obtaining the Buddha's Hand Golden Gourd

I still don't know your name……hehehe……I forgot to ask the last time we met!

Actually, I didn't forget to ask, I was just too lazy to ask!

I never expected to see you again!

Wu Dabao rubbed the back of his head and smiled.

He Pingsheng said: "This humble one is He Pingsheng……"

"Oh……so it's Daoist He!" Wu Dabao's gaze shifted from He Pingsheng to the innate divine formation above, saying: "Daoist, have you found some heavenly treasure?"

"You go ahead and harvest the divine herbs, we'll meet again later!"

After saying that, Wu Dabao moved his body and flew out.

He had no intention of competing with He Pingsheng for treasure at all.

He Pingsheng said: "Daoist Wu, please wait!"

"I'm afraid I can't open this innate great formation alone; if Daoist doesn't mind, would you help me open the divine formation?"

Wu Dabao, who had already flown away, heard He Pingsheng's shout and turned back in the void, saying: "Good!"

He Pingsheng said: "I heard there is a fourth-grade divine fruit inside, called 【Buddha's Hand Golden Gourd】, have you heard of this divine fruit, Daoist?"

It's not that He Pingsheng is being generous!

He just thinks Wu Dabao is a decent person, so sharing some resources is no big deal.

After all, he doesn't lack these resources.

Wu Dabao was startled and said: "It's actually a fourth-grade divine fruit?"

"I've heard of it; supposedly this thing can be used to temper the body and enhance physical strength!"

He Pingsheng said: "After we open the great formation, we'll share the divine fruit inside; how about I give you three-tenths?"

"Ah?" Wu Dabao said: "No no no……this is too much, what merit or ability do I have?"

"Actually, Daoist He, this innate divine formation is naturally formed, its foundation isn't that strong; though it's a fourth-grade, you could open it yourself, Daoist!"

"I'm merely……adding flowers to brocade!"

"Hehe……how could I be so greedy as to take three-tenths from Daoist?"

"How about this: give me one-tenth and that's enough!"

He Pingsheng didn't say much more, just nodded: "Alright!"

The two exerted force together and opened the innate divine formation in just a few breaths.

He Pingsheng also didn't show anything special; he only used one-tenth of his divine power.

The great formation opened, revealing a verdant plant inside.

This plant is rather special; it's also a vine-type divine herb, with the main vine deep purple and leaves green with hints of pale yellow.

Its roots are deeply embedded in the rock, the vine climbs all along the mountainside, actually covering a mountain area of a thousand zhang in radius!

On the vine, every few leaves hangs a fist-sized, flat, round fruit, just like little pumpkins.

The fruit is golden yellow, shimmering with a faint golden light.

Occasionally, runes swirl out from it.

At a glance, in the bluish-green slightly yellow leaves, dense and thick are all these Buddha's Hand Golden Gourds.

"Holy shit……" He Pingsheng couldn't help but exclaim in shock: "So many?"

At least several hundred!

"That's right, it's correct!" Wu Dabao said: "This is the characteristic of the Buddha's Hand Golden Gourd!"

"Although this thing is not easy to cultivate, once cultivated successfully, it often bears countless fruits on a single vine!"

"Look at its roots!"

Wu Dabao pointed to the root of this vine, saying: "Isn't it deeply embedded in the rock?"

"This is a special kind of rock, named 【Filthy Rock】; only this kind of rock is suitable for the growth of Buddha's Hand Golden Gourd!"

"And not just any Filthy Rock will do; one also needs to gather heavenly timing, earthly advantage, and human harmony!"

"As for the specifics, I don't know!"

"But I know, this Buddha's Hand Golden Gourd is extremely rare!"

"Daoist He, you may harvest now!"

"Hmm……" He Pingsheng nodded!

He waved his hand, and divine power burst forth, a golden gourd flew over.

Just then, behind the green leaves, another golden light shot out violently, flying toward He Pingsheng.

He Pingsheng was caught off guard, thinking it was Wu Dabao's sneak attack, and directly used Void Swift Movement to dodge.

Pfft……

The golden light landed on the rock, and instantly a large area of rock split open.

"Poisonous!" Wu Dabao shouted in fear, saying: "Daoist He, be careful!"

Bang……

While speaking, Wu Dabao had already erected a defensive shield.

At this moment, He Pingsheng realized it wasn't Wu Dabao who had launched the attack.

"It's poisonous bees!"

He Pingsheng's pupils shrank slightly, his Divine Sense had already blasted out.

I thought there were no demonic beasts here, but who knew that behind these dense leaves lay a nest of bees.

And this nest of bees is not simple either; they are all third-grade demonic beasts!

Though small, their poison is enough to kill an ordinary Divine Spirit realm cultivator!

But He Pingsheng didn't care; he himself was a poison refiner, and wouldn't be poisoned to death by this third-tier poison.

"I know you can understand my words." He Pingsheng waved his hand, took out the Five Campaigns Military Umbrella, and opened it with a bang.

The great umbrella expanded to a thousand zhang, enveloping the entire leaf within.

Crack crack crack...

Then silver lightning condensed and emerged, continuously writhing.

He Pingsheng continued: "I have no intention of destroying your dwelling, nor will I take away the main body of this Buddha's Hand Golden Gourd!"

"I only take the fruits here!"

"You can continue your cultivation here in the future!"

"We'll keep to our own waters; I hope you don't bring disaster upon yourselves, otherwise I'll destroy this melon field!"

As He Pingsheng's words fell, a childish voice came from behind the leaf: "You've taken all the melons here—how are we to survive!"

"How about this: you take half!"

"Leave some for us!"

He Pingsheng thought for a moment, then said: "Can..."

Then, before he could go to take them, the golden gourds on the vine shot out with a whoosh.

About three hundred fell beside He Pingsheng.

He Pingsheng wasn't polite either; with a wave of his hand, he collected them all.

The childish voice asked again: "We believe you certainly can't see the innate divine formation here—how did you find this place?"

He Pingsheng hadn't spoken yet when the voice said again: "Was it an old bramble vine that told you!"

He Pingsheng said: "How do you know?"

"Damned thing!" the voice said: "This damned old bramble vine is using a borrowed knife to kill... we will certainly not let him go when we turn back!"

"Fellow Daoist, you must keep your promise—now the golden gourds are yours... please leave quickly!"

He Pingsheng said: "Good!"

He whooshed away, flying into the void.

Wu Dabao also flew up following him.

They saw that in the valley below, another innate formation quickly formed, enveloping the fourth-tier Buddha's Hand Golden Gourd.

The creation of heaven and earth is miraculous indeed.

"Fellow Daoist Wu, I previously promised you one-tenth; how about this—give you fifty!" He Pingsheng took out fifty golden gourds and gave them to Wu Dabao.

Wu Dabao happily accepted them.

He Pingsheng asked: "Fellow Daoist Wu, do you know how to use this?"

Wu Dabao said: "There are two uses!"

"One is to directly refine the body by combining it with body-refining cultivation methods; the other is to use it to refine a special divine pill."
