109: Chapter 109 Green Snake's Number One Darling

The green flood dragon ring didn't expect this day to come so suddenly.

Closing its eyes, it could still recall those years spent running under the sunset with the Green Snake.

It remembered the times it had faced life and death alongside the Green Snake.

It remembered the nights spent sleeping in the Snake Cave.

It remembered the Green Snake's repetitive calls of "Darling."

However, at this moment, the Green Snake had completely forgotten it, holding the heaven-accepting gourd and calling it "Darling" over and over.

That was the name the Green Snake usually called it.

It was a little jealous.

Alright, all of the above is fictional.

"heaven-accepting gourd darling, you have officially become my number one sweetheart!"

The green flood dragon ring and the Xiliang Sword were crying their hearts out.

The green tail white hair sword had long since been crying a river, thinking, "I was clearly here first."

Like the green flood dragon ring, the heaven-accepting gourd only had two skills.

However, their quality was surprisingly high: Storage Lv8 and Nourishment Lv9.

[Storage Lv8] The heaven-accepting gourd contains a world within it, capable of storing a large number of items or living creatures.

[Nourishment Lv9] The heaven-accepting gourd is a world of its own, capable of absorbing the surrounding power of heaven and earth to nourish the objects stored within.

Although it lacked any offensive capabilities,

there was no doubt that this didn't hinder its status as a top-tier auxiliary Magic Treasure in the slightest.

He took out the heaven-accepting gourd.

The heaven-accepting gourd was emerald green all over, as if it were still growing on a vine.

It was quite small, only the length of Xu Qing's hand.

The heaven-accepting gourd was refined from an entire heaven and earth spiritual root and a pocket dimension; it was simply a miraculous feat of Artifact Refining.

It made Xu Qing, this Artifact Refining snake, quite enamored.

Its Nourishment ability was just like the Naturally Formed Treasure Land Xu Qing had discovered at the bottom of the West River before.

"Can living creatures go inside too?"

Xu Qing formed hand seals with both hands, activating the heaven-accepting gourd.

The heaven-accepting gourd floated up, its entire body glowing with green light that poured from the mouth. It aimed at Xu Qing, and a massive suction force erupted.

Xu Qing felt his vision go dark, and then he appeared in an unfamiliar world.

He was standing on a mountain peak that towered into the clouds.

Spiritual Qi was abundant, and surrounding the peak were several smaller hills.

At the base of the mountain, a long river flowed, winding through the entire world.

Looking up at the sky, a sun was shining.

"How can there be a sun?"

Perplexed, Xu Qing flew up toward the sun overhead.

Soon, he saw the so-called sun.

At the center of the sun was a gourd, which was precisely the projection of the heaven-accepting gourd in this world.

The projection of the heaven-accepting gourd acting as the sun wasn't small; it was as large as the entire Green Snake.

Xu Qing flew to the mouth of the heaven-accepting gourd's projection and looked inside.

He was curious if this was some kind of nesting doll gourd.

A heaven-accepting gourd with a heaven-accepting gourd projection inside, and within that projection, a projection of the projection.

And within the projection of the projection, a projection of the projection of the projection.

With this mindset, Xu Qing peered into the gourd's mouth.

It wasn't an infinite nesting doll inside; there was just half a gourd of golden liquid.

The liquid was filled with thick vitality, spiritual power, and the power of heaven and earth.

The light emitted by the heaven-accepting gourd's projection was exactly the aura of these three powers dissipating.

This power sustained the life of the entire gourd world.

Undoubtedly, this sun formed by the heaven-accepting gourd's projection was the core of the entire heaven-accepting gourd.

Rather than saying the heaven-accepting gourd on the outside was the original body,

it was better to say this internal projection was the true body of the heaven-accepting gourd.

The external heaven-accepting gourd: "I've become the body double?"

No memes allowed here.

Xu Qing shook his head, looking at the liquid in the gourd.

Once this liquid was exhausted, all life within the heaven-accepting gourd's world would likely die.

However, the heaven-accepting gourd would constantly absorb the power of heaven and earth from the outside to replenish itself.

It should be able to meet daily consumption with a surplus.

Perhaps this liquid could even be taken out and used.

A liquid containing the power of heaven and earth, spiritual power, and vitality would surely have endless wonderful uses.

Xu Qing also understood the effect of the "Nourishment Lv9" ability.

It likely referred to this golden liquid.

Any item placed in this world would be nourished by the light dissipating from this gourd.

But the effect probably wasn't very significant.

However, if one put the objects they wanted to nourish into this gourd projection, soaking them in this Golden Creation Liquid,

the effect would likely be extraordinary.

That's right, Xu Qing's naming habit had flared up again, and he gave this golden liquid a nice-sounding name.

Xu Qing didn't hesitate anymore, taking out all his belongings from his Spatial Pupil and stuffing them into the gourd.

But he soon discovered something.

The Golden Creation Liquid was consumed too quickly. If he put all his belongings into this heaven-accepting gourd, it wouldn't be able to sustain the consumption of the Golden Creation Liquid at all.

He could only put in at most five Spiritual Artifacts for the consumption of Golden Creation Liquid to balance with the heaven-accepting gourd's own replenishment.

The Golden Creation Liquid used to maintain this world was not counted in that.

"This is already very good; a snake shouldn't be too greedy."

Xu Qing thought for a moment, then took out the green tail white hair sword and the ice evil ruyi scepter and threw them into the gourd.

The sword and the ruyi scepter were submerged in the Golden Creation Liquid, absorbing it bit by bit.

As for the Xiliang Sword and the green flood dragon ring,

one was a natal spirit artifact, nourished by the Golden Core and the incense Power Of Will.

The green flood dragon ring was a defensive protection Magic Treasure; Xu Qing wouldn't feel safe if it wasn't by his side.

He had already become shaped by his dependence on the green flood dragon ring.

He exited the heaven-accepting gourd and returned to the Snake Cave.

With a wave of his hand, the heaven-accepting gourd landed in his palm.

"Conceal!"

He formed a hand seal and lightly tapped the heaven-accepting gourd, causing its spiritual light to retract within.

It looked like an ordinary jade gourd ornament.

"Not bad, not bad."

"As expected of my sweetheart, I love it so much."

Xu Qing rubbed the gourd against his face.

"Golden Core, haha jie jie!"

"This Snake is now a Golden Core Great Demon too!"

"A single Golden Core swallowed into the belly, my fate is determined by me, not by heaven!"

Xu Qing felt the Golden Core inside him and laughed wildly with excitement.

There were only nine hundred and ninety-nine Golden Cores in the world!

And Xu Qing possessed one of them!

Having said that, the maximum number in the world was nine hundred and ninety-nine Golden Cores.

But in reality, the number should be lower than that.

After all, some golden core imprints were kept in certain people's hands and did not have masters.

For example, Xu Qing still had a spare [Gold-077] in his hand.

Therefore, he, Xu Qing,

was already invincible within a small range.

Jie jie.

He could stop laughing with 'hahaha' and start laughing happily with 'jie jie jie'.

Even laughing like this, no one would come to stew him into snake soup.

What freedom.

"No, I still need to be a bit more restrained."

"This Snake is an Auspicious Beast, an Auspicious Beast! Not a Vicious Beast, I can't let people slay me."

I can't be like the Crimson-Tailed Burning Flame Crane.

Wait a minute, speaking of the Crimson-Tailed Burning Flame Crane, he seemed to have forgotten something.

Right!

The Crimson-Tailed Burning Flame Crane's dress hasn't been made yet!

"Damn, I almost forgot!"

Xu Qing slapped his head.

If he forgot about this, the Crimson-Tailed Burning Flame Crane would probably eat him like a spicy snack strip.

"Artifact Refining, Artifact Refining!"

Xu Qing, who had just made a Breakthrough to the Golden Core stage, spat out Green Fire and took out the Materials given by the Crimson-Tailed Burning Flame Crane.

He looked just like a corporate slave.

Everyone mocks Mo Yufei, yet everyone is Mo Yufei.
