87: Chapter 87 Heavenly Rank Magic Treasure, Immortal-Slaying Gourd

[Fifth simulation starting...]

[Generating companion Dharma treasure...]

[Detected that the host has consumed 1000 simulation points to activate "Wealth Can Communicate with Gods", probability of high-grade companion Dharma treasure is 80%...]

[Generation successful!]

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining a low-grade Heaven-Grade Dharma treasure: immortal slaying gourd!]

Chu Sheng stared at the palm-sized, purple-gold gourd on the light screen, stunned for three seconds.

Then, he suddenly sprang up from the ground.

This time he had learned his lesson; he bent his waist in advance, so his head didn't hit the cave ceiling.

"Heaven-Grade?!"

His voice was trembling, "Low-grade Heaven-Grade?!?"

The immortal slaying gourd floated quietly in the light screen, its entire body purple-gold, with mysterious runes flowing across its surface.

The mouth of the gourd was slightly open, and one could vaguely see a chaotic void inside, as if it contained a small world.

[immortal slaying gourd (Low-grade Heaven-Grade): A replica of an ancient exotic treasure, containing the Immortal Slaying Flying Knife, capable of severing a person's soul.]

[Usage method: Use essence blood as a guide and soul power as a medium to manifest the flying knife. One must chant "Please turn around, treasure," and the flying knife will strike the target.]

[Power: Can kill enemies no more than one realm higher than the host (based on the host's cultivation, can kill below True Firmament); can severely injure enemies two realms higher than the host (True Transformation Realm); upper limit is Dao Palace Realm.]

[Cost: Each use requires consuming a large amount of essence blood and soul power. Excessive use may lead to cultivation regression, loss of lifespan, or even soul collapse.]

[Special Effect · Nourishing: The immortal slaying gourd can nourish other Dharma treasures, enhancing their quality and spirituality.]

True Firmament!

The Second Elder is True Firmament!

Probably a watered-down True Firmament.

In the fourth simulation, when he was at Qi Induction, he had to fight for his life just to barely escape from the Second Elder.

Later, he was killed by the two of them, father and daughter working together, both at the Ju Zhen realm.

In the end, he still died at the hands of Xia Nihuang.

But that was Spirit Sea Realm, three realms higher than his own, likely out of range for the immortal slaying gourd.

But True Firmament?

"Please turn around, treasure..."

He muttered, the corners of his mouth curling up wildly, "I want to say these words to many people."

[Chu Sheng has already begun attempting to refine it.]

[The Duobao Heavenly Venerable trait takes effect, and the refining speed is astonishingly fast.]

[He bit his fingertip and dripped a drop of essence blood onto the gourd.]

[Purple-gold light shone brightly!]

[The gourd vibrated gently, as if cheering.]

[An hour later, preliminary refining was completed.]

[Although it hasn't officially recognized him as its master, it can already be barely used.]

[Chu Sheng held the gourd, feeling the terrifying killing intent within, and a sense of unprecedented security surged in his heart.]

["Old buddy," he patted the gourd, "From now on, we'll depend on each other for survival."]

[The gourd glowed slightly, as if responding.]

[Just then, the demon refining pot at his waist suddenly vibrated violently.]

[Chu Sheng looked down—]

[That bronze pot, usually so arrogant, was now trembling crazily, its body curled into a ball, desperately trying to burrow into his embrace.]

["Eh?" Chu Sheng was stunned, "What are you doing?"]

[The demon refining pot shook even harder, its mouth tightly shut, looking completely cowardly.]

["Hahahaha!" He laughed out loud, "You're afraid of it?!"]

[The demon refining pot shook aggrievedly: That's Heaven-Grade! I'm only Earth-Grade! So what if I'm a coward!]

[Chu Sheng finished laughing and patted the demon refining pot.]

["Don't be afraid, it won't bully you. And..."]

[He remembered the nourishing function of the immortal slaying gourd.]

["It can nourish you."]

[Chu Sheng opened the mouth of the immortal slaying gourd and carefully put the demon refining pot inside.]

[The purple-gold light enveloped the small bronze pot; the demon refining pot struggled violently at first, then slowly calmed down as its body began to absorb the nourishing power.]

["Stay there nicely," Chu Sheng patted the gourd, "Once you're nourished, you can come out and work again."]

[A grievance-filled hum came from inside the gourd, as if the demon refining pot was protesting, or perhaps enjoying it.]

[After dealing with the demon refining pot, Chu Sheng took the ring out of his pocket.]

[Mysterious ring, golden trait, containing a remnant soul.]

[He put it on his finger and injected a wisp of spiritual power.]

[The ring warmed up slightly, and the faint, elusive connection in his mind seemed to become a little clearer.]

["Senior?" He tentatively called out.]

[Silence.]

["Fairy?"]

[Still silence.]

["Miss?"]

[The ring vibrated slightly, as if in protest, or perhaps in response.]

[Chu Sheng smiled.]

["Fine, take your time," he stroked the ring, "Once you recover, we'll have a good chat."]

[The ring flashed and then went silent.]

[Chu Sheng stood up, walked to the cave entrance, and looked towards Qingshi Town.]

[In the night, the lights of the small town twinkled like stars.]

[He could feel that Han Li's aura was still there.]

[That annoying guy was still guarding the town entrance, waiting to catch his leverage.]

["Han Li..." he muttered.]

[He looked down at the immortal slaying gourd in his hand.]

[Kill Han Li with the immortal slaying gourd?]

[Too wasteful.]

["You're not worthy," he shook his head.]

[Then, he patted the immortal slaying gourd.]

["Let the demon refining pot out."]

[The gourd mouth opened, and the demon refining pot wobbled out, its body seeming a bit brighter than before.]

[Chu Sheng took the demon refining pot and opened the lid.]

[Inside, several Late Stage Yin Qi great demons were huddled together.]

["One of you, come out," he beckoned.]

[A Crimson Flame Wolf floated out reluctantly, hovering in mid-air, trembling.]

[Chu Sheng looked at it and revealed a kind smile.]

["Want to live?"]

[The Crimson Flame Wolf nodded frantically.]

["Then do something for me."]

[The Crimson Flame Wolf continued nodding.]

[Chu Sheng pointed towards Qingshi Town.]

["There's a person named Han Li there, Qi Induction Fourth Grade. Go kill him."]

[The Crimson Flame Wolf was stunned.]

[That's it?]

[Qi Induction Fourth Grade?]

[It is a Ninth Grade of Qi Induction great demon!]

[Making it go kill a small cultivator at Qi Induction Fourth Grade?]

[Isn't this using a butcher's knife to kill a chicken?]

["What? You're unwilling?" Chu Sheng narrowed his eyes.]

[The Crimson Flame Wolf shook its head frantically, turned around, and flew towards Qingshi Town, as fast as if it were fleeing for its life.]

[Chu Sheng watched its retreating figure and nodded with satisfaction.]

["Remember," he transmitted his voice, "Come back after you've killed him, don't cause trouble."]

[The Crimson Flame Wolf's figure disappeared into the night.]

[Half an hour later, a commotion came from the direction of Qingshi Town.]

[Chu Sheng stood on the hilltop, looking into the distance.]

[The tea shed at the town entrance had collapsed halfway, and several flames shot into the sky. Faint screams and exclamations could be heard.]

[Soon, a fiery red figure rushed out of the town and flew towards the Liuyun Mountain Range.]

[It was the Crimson Flame Wolf.]

[It had something in its mouth.]

[Flying to Chu Sheng, it threw the thing onto the ground, then shrank to the side, waiting eagerly for praise.]

[Chu Sheng looked down.]

[It was a human head.]

[Han Li's head.]

[The eyes were wide open, and the face still bore the terror and unwillingness from before death.]

[Chu Sheng squatted down, looked at that familiar face, and sighed softly.]

["You, couldn't you just live a good life? Why did you have to provoke me?"]

[He stood up and kicked the head into the valley.]

["In your next life, be a good person."]

Chu Sheng watched this scene, the corners of his mouth twitching.

But soon, he thought of a problem.

Han Li is dead, the Second Elder will definitely investigate.

It won't be hard to find the Crimson Flame Wolf.

It will be hard to find Chu Sheng.

"Avoid his edge?"

He laughed, "So what if he finds out? I've already turned the tables; Old Chu has the immortal slaying gourd, and I can slay True Firmament too."

"If the Second Elder dares to come, it'll be a perfect chance to test the power of the flying knife."
