The moment the three balls of light were swallowed into the Mountain River Gourd, the gourd hanging in the air trembled.
Faintly, cracking sounds could even be heard.
Fine cracks had clearly appeared across the surface of the Mountain River Gourd.
They were almost impossible to detect.
But they could not escape the eyes of Lin Baichuan, its master.
