Nuwa's golden gourd, ranked third, can gather a myriad of demons from all over the world. In so respects, it is comparable to the Plain Colored Cloud Boundary Banner. As everyone knows, the Plain Colored Cloud Boundary Banner, also known as the Gathering Immortals Banner, is Innate and one of the Five Directions Banners, remarkably powerful! This shows just how formidable the treasure crafted from the golden gourd must be.
As for the Treasure Sword in Lu Ya's hands, fashioned from the Orange Gourd and ranked second, just imagine—the Treasure Sword is certainly not sothing that the Purple Gold Gourd can match. Even if made by a sage personally, it would be impossible; that Purple Gourd hasn't even matured yet. Waiting for it to do so could take who knows how many years, and it's likely soone else would have picked it by then.
Next is the Red Gourd in Xin Yun's hands, the top-ranked, suprely powerful. Although it was never refined by Hong Yun, this also has advantages, as Xin Yun could refine it however he wishes. With the help of the Sky-opening Axe Soul, it definitely won't turn out to be trash.
If the Gathering Demons Gourd and the Treasure Sword are already considered treasures of the post-Innate level, then how about this fully matured Red Gourd that's several grades above the two great treasures? Xin Yun was very much looking forward to this.
With these thoughts, Xin Yun decisively made up his mind. Although the Red Gourd was currently just the least of the First Level post-Innate Spiritual Treasure Embryos, its developnt potential was imasurable. It definitely had the possibility of becoming a post-Innate treasure, depending on the future crafting thods.
Perhaps so might wonder why the Po Kong Clan, so powerful and in possession of the Red Gourd, lacked the corresponding crafting thods. Isn't that a bit far-fetched?
Actually, the power of the Po Kong Clan lies in Mount Buzhou, which is practically their ho turf. Thus, the gourds essentially grow in their own backyard, and obtaining the Red Gourd is only natural.
Secondly, it's not that their family lacks the ability to craft such a treasure with imnse potential, but who would dare to refine it rashly without a truly suitable thod? They can only temporarily utilize its innate capabilities, making do until a perfect crafting plan cos to mind. It's not too late to refine it then.
Lastly, given Po Kong's current strength, refining sothing too powerful would actually be detrintal—just like Xin Yun's Kongtong Seal. What's the use of being powerful? Without the ability to control it, isn't it just junk!
No matter what, the Kongtong Seal is an Innate Spiritual Treasure that can automatically harness the energy between heaven and earth to operate, using incredibly little energy. This Red Gourd, however strong, is still a post-Innate Spiritual Treasure, unable to draw external energy, consuming more than ten tis the energy of Innate Spiritual Treasures. If refined too powerfully, Po Kong simply wouldn't be able to use it.
After pondering for a long while, Xin Yun finally reached a decision, looked up resolutely at Po Kong, and said, "Alright, I've decided. I'll exchange for this Red Gourd!"
"Ah!" Po Kong's mouth fell open in astonishnt upon hearing Xin Yun's words. He had expected Xin Yun to take all the items listed, but unexpectedly, Xin Yun was only interested in this one!
The Red Gourd was indeed a treasure, but Po Kong didn't cherish it much. There were six others growing on the vine—having one more made no difference, nor did losing one. The key issue was that Po Kong didn't like gourd-shaped artifacts, and its power wasn't particularly impressive. Although it had huge potential, there were many such treasures available. What's one less?
The Red Gourd was indeed powerful and precious, but for the Po Kong Clan, there were plenty of similar treasures, so-called "wealthy and unbothered," they simply didn't care. Besides... even if those four swords were weaker, they were still Innate, while the Red Gourd was just a post-Innate treasure. Exchanging post-Innate for Innate was a good deal no matter how you looked at it.
After thinking for quite a while, Po Kong furrowed his brow and pointed to the remaining four treasures, saying, "How co... you're not interested in these four? Let tell you, these items..."
Before Po Kong could finish speaking, Xin Yun interrupted him with a smile. To Xin Yun, exchanging four replica swords for one Red Gourd was a huge win. After all, the Red Gourd was without a doubt a top-tier, famous artifact. If refined well, there was no need to outdo the Gathering Demons Gourd; matching the Treasure Sword would be enough!
With that thought, Xin Yun shook his head and said, "No, I know these are good items, but I'm only interested in this Red Gourd. Keep the others for yourself."
"But..." Po Kong looked at Xin Yun hesitantly, smiling wryly, "This Red Gourd, though not bad and with limitless potential, is still a post-Innate object. It seems not to asure up to your four swords."
Hearing Po Kong's words, Xin Yun smiled faintly and replied, "Personal preferences differ, I suppose. I rather like this gourd. As for these others, although they are strong, I don't want to use them to exchange for those four swords."
"But..." At Xin Yun's words, Po Kong beca anxious and said urgently, "What about the difference in value? All I have is these items, do you expect to go ho to retrieve sothing else?"
Smiling and shaking his head, Xin Yun laughed and said, "Let's do it this way. I'll use the four swords to exchange for your Red Gourd, plus... a few additional conditions. How does that sound?"
Hearing Xin Yun's proposition, Po Kong thought for a mont and then tentatively replied, "Add conditions? What kind of conditions do you have in mind? If they aren't too demanding, I'll agree to them!"
