Thinking this, Chen Changsheng was somewhat moved.
Without further ado, he immediately took out all the Spirit Stones, Qi Gathering Pills, and two jars of jade spring wine from his Storage Pouch.
With a thought, he first enlarged the Creation Immortal Gourd a bit, and its mouth also widened, just enough to fit a Spirit Stone.
Then, he first put a Spirit Stone inside.
"Hm? What's going on..."
He found that the Creation Immortal Gourd could indeed hold Spirit Stones, but after putting them in, they simply disappeared.
It was as if nothing was left.
Only the yellow glow on the surface of the gourd seemed to become a little brighter, but it was very subtle; if one didn't look closely, it was almost imperceptible.
"No, my Spirit Stones, were they just eaten like that?"
Chen Changsheng was a little flustered.
He had hoped this gourd could bring changes to the Spirit Stones, but he didn't expect no changes, only their direct disappearance.
What... what exactly was the wondrous use of this gourd?
"Let's try again."
He suspected that perhaps there were too few Spirit Stones, and they were Low Grade, while the gourd's grade was too high, causing it to simply consume them.
Immediately, he directly put ten pieces in at once, then shook it and looked inside through the gourd's mouth.
But he found that they had still disappeared!
Only the yellow glow on the surface of the gourd brightened a little again, and it was still minuscule, with almost no other changes.
"I..."
Chen Changsheng almost swore. If he hadn't personally witnessed the gourd's growth and changes over ten years and its ability to be refined into a Lifebound Treasure, he would have thought this gourd was simply a scam, and he might have even thrown it away.
One must know, these were 11 Low-Grade Spirit Stones! It was only because he was the Family's Young Clan Leader and had relatively abundant resources.
If it were any other Cultivator of the 'Chang' generation, these 11 Spirit Stones would be roughly half a year's salary.
And even though his Cultivation resources were relatively abundant, he couldn't waste them like this.
Who could afford this?
Moreover, given the Family's current situation, earning each Spirit Stone was not easy, and he couldn't waste them so casually.
"Forget it, I'll slowly research it later. Anyway, Spirit Stones can't be put in there anymore, otherwise, it will probably consume however many there are."
Chen Changsheng sighed.
He looked at the gourd again. This thing seemed good for holding Spiritual Wine; it looked quite decent.
If he wore it on his waist and took a few sips occasionally, combined with a Flying Sword, he would have the feeling of a Jianghu swordsman.
However, Chen Changsheng was also a little worried. If Spiritual Wine was put into it, would it also disappear like the Spirit Stones?
Thinking this, he became even more indecisive.
After all, he only had two jars of jade spring wine in total. This item was not produced in large quantities by the Family and was brewed from Spirit Rice.
One jar was worth more than twenty Spirit Stones, making it exceptionally precious.
"Or, should I try again?"
Chen Changsheng was still a bit unwilling, as this gourd was undoubtedly a treasure; he just didn't know its specific wondrous uses yet.
Suddenly, he remembered something and immediately went to another room in the Immortal Cave, where two jars sealed with mud were placed.
However, these were not Spiritual Wine, but rather sorghum wine brewed from ordinary grains, also aged for over ten years.
"I'll use this to try..."
Chen Changsheng really couldn't bear to use the jade spring wine, but he didn't care about this ordinary wine.
Then, he slapped open the mud seal on the wine jar, and a rich aroma of wine immediately filled his nostrils. He resisted the urge to drink a few sips first, picked up the wine jar, and poured it into the gourd.
The next moment.
A miraculous scene appeared, almost identical to when the gourd matured and fell into the pond.
The gourd, only slightly larger than a palm, could not be filled no matter how much was poured into it. Soon, an entire jar of wine was poured in.
Yet, there was still no sign of it being full.
One must know, this jar of wine weighed at least several kilograms, while this gourd, by its appearance, could at most hold a little over half a kilogram.
Although Chen Changsheng had already witnessed this scene when the gourd matured and fell, seeing it again still left him awestruck.
With a thought, the gourd immediately appeared in his hand. It was very light, completely without the weight of a jar of wine, and no different from a normal gourd.
Moreover, the wine had not disappeared. Looking into the gourd's mouth, although it was a chaotic blur and nothing could be seen clearly, nor was any wine scent emitted.
But as his Lifebound Treasure, Chen Changsheng could clearly feel that the jar of wine was inside.
At the same time, looking closely, he noticed that the yellow light on the gourd's surface had subtly dimmed a little, though it was still very faint. If he hadn't already refined it and could sense any changes in the gourd, a normal naked eye would barely perceive it.
"Could it be that this item can only hold liquids..."
Chen Changsheng muttered to himself.
Then, he instinctively tilted his head back and took a sip.
But instantly, an extremely rich wine aroma filled his mouth and nose, and the originally very ordinary mortal wine, after entering the gourd, actually contained an extremely vast Spiritual Qi, flowing down his throat into his limbs and bones.
The potency of the wine had increased by an unknown number of times.
As a Cultivator at Qi Refining Layer Five, who originally wouldn't get drunk even after drinking thirty kilograms of ordinary mortal wine, Chen Changsheng got drunk with just one sip.
He was so drunk that he felt completely muddled.
The next moment, he couldn't control himself, fell backward, and collapsed onto the ground, directly falling asleep.
He even dropped the gourd on the ground.
The entire Immortal Cave was filled with a rich wine aroma, drifting everywhere.
Chen Changsheng lay on the ground, completely unconscious from drunkenness, yet under the effect of this 'Spiritual Wine'.
He entered a profound and mysterious state.
In his dream, he inexplicably entered a Cultivation state, his Cultivation Technique operating wildly, refining the vast Spiritual Qi in his limbs and bones.
Within his Dantian Qi Sea, the misty Spiritual Qi, which had been somewhat ethereal due to his pursuit of Breakthrough, slowly solidified during this process.
At the same time, although Chen Changsheng was clearly drunk and asleep, in this state, he entered another state.
In a hazy daze, he was like an observer, quietly watching his body Cultivate, unable to control it.
But he could not only see the operation process of the Cultivation Technique, but also every detail.
What he had previously considered to be the incredibly solid "Chen's Basic Qi Refining Art" now appeared full of flaws in his eyes.
It was as if a sword-practicing boy, who thought his Foundation was solid, suddenly comprehended true Sword Intent at a certain moment.
The basic sword techniques he had repeatedly practiced according to sword manuals now seemed like the stumbling steps of a toddler in the face of true Sword Intent. The sword moves he once thought were perfectly standard were now as leaky as a withered branch trying to scoop water.
He had an Epiphany.
The next moment, Chen Changsheng, in a quiet state, even without his own knowledge, changed the original Meridian circulation route.
