Innate Spiritual Treasure, Eight Treasures Glazed Cup

Houtu shook her head at Nuwa and said, "A loss is a loss. Would this Ancestral Witch refuse to acknowledge a debt? That Nine Heavens Breathing Soil is located in the middle section of Buzhou Mountain, thirty thousand miles southeast of the Ancestral Witch Hall."

"However, there is still a spiritual root growing atop that Nine Heavens Breathing Soil. At a guess, it will take another thousand years to mature."

Houtu's words made Qing Xuan frown. He directly asked Houtu, "That spiritual root on the Nine Heavens Breathing Soil—is it a green lotus flower?"

Houtu's eyes widened as she looked at Qing Xuan. "You know about it too? What a pity. You won this round for nothing, gaining no benefit at all."

At this moment, a smile actually appeared on Houtu's face. It was as if she had just lost several million and casually picked it back up again.

But right now, Qing Xuan had no time to care about all that. He directly grabbed Houtu's hand and shoved the Pangu Marrow into it.

"Take this. Hurry up and take me to see that green lotus. If we're any later, someone else might pick it."

Houtu had originally thought that since she lost, she would have no further connection with this Pangu Marrow. She never expected Qing Xuan to give it to her. For a moment, she stood frozen in place.

Nuwa smiled gracefully beside her, then tugged at Houtu and said, "Keep it. This was prepared for you by Little Gourd Vine."

"As repayment, hurry up and take him to find that green lotus. Otherwise, if someone really does take it, you won't have any thanks to offer."

Houtu hadn't expected that this drop of Pangu Marrow from Qing Xuan was sought out for her sake. For a moment, she couldn't help but feel grateful toward Qing Xuan.

She bowed to Qing Xuan and said, "Thank you, Daoist Little Gourd Vine. This great kindness, Houtu will remember in her heart forever."

Qing Xuan was petrified on the spot, his face full of black lines. "Wait, if you're going to thank me, thank me. But what's this 'Daoist Little Gourd Vine' business?"

"My name is Qing Xuan. My main body is indeed the Innate Gourd Vine, but I am not called Little Gourd Vine. Remember that."

Nuwa rolled her eyes at Qing Xuan, then took Houtu with one hand and Qing Xuan with the other, saying, "Don't worry, Little Gourd Vine. Daoist Houtu has it memorized. Let's hurry and find that green lotus."

At this moment, Qing Xuan really wanted to raise his hand and smash the sky, just to vent the dissatisfaction in his heart.

Seeing Qing Xuan's deflated expression, Houtu couldn't help but smile again. Then she led Nuwa and Qing Xuan directly toward the location of the green lotus.

They were currently walking down Buzhou Mountain, so the Pangu Pressure they felt was very limited. Moreover, the distance from here to the green lotus was only ten thousand miles.

Unfortunately, even going downhill, they couldn't use escape techniques. To cover that distance in a thousand years would naturally be no small difficulty.

Seeing the travel speed of Qing Xuan and Nuwa, Houtu couldn't help but shake her head. "Walking like this, by the time we get there, the green lotus will probably have already matured and been taken by someone."

"Here's the plan. The two of you sit on my shoulders. I'll use the Witch Clan secret technique, Shrink Ground to Inch, to travel."

As she spoke, Houtu once again manifested her Ancestral Witch True Body and had Qing Xuan and Nuwa sit on her left and right shoulders.

Once the two were seated, Houtu took a single step, covering several miles. This was still on Buzhou Mountain; otherwise, that one step could have crossed tens of thousands of miles.

Even so, in less than a day, Houtu had brought Nuwa and Qing Xuan to the area where the green lotus was located.

Houtu withdrew her Ancestral Witch True Body and pointed ahead not far away. "It's in the pool up ahead."

Qing Xuan couldn't help but sigh. "As expected of Pangu Descendants. On your own father's turf, you always have privileges that outsiders don't."

He muttered under his breath, but the speed of his steps didn't slow in the slightest. He headed straight for the pool ahead.

Arriving at the edge of the pool, Qing Xuan's first look was at the water in the pool, wondering if it was the Three Lights Divine Water he had imagined.

Unfortunately, the result was a great disappointment. Although the water in this pool was not ordinary, it was incomparable to the Three Lights Divine Water.

However, the green lotus at the center of the pool was exactly as Qing Xuan had imagined. Just from the Creation Qi emanating from it, Qing Xuan was certain—that was the Twenty-Four Grade Creation Green Lotus.

But the Twenty-Four Grade Creation Green Lotus had not yet matured. Supported by its lotus leaves, it emitted waves of green light.

A few droplets of water on the lotus leaves were indeed the genuine Three Lights Divine Water. This made Qing Xuan's eyes light up.

"The water droplets on my gourd leaves are Three Lights Divine Water. The water droplets on the green lotus leaves are also Three Lights Divine Water. Could it be that the dew on all Top-grade Innate Spiritual Roots is Three Lights Divine Water?"

"That's not right. If that were the case, it shouldn't be that only Yuanshi Tianzun has Three Lights Divine Water. At the very least, Zhen Yuanzi, Queen Mother of the West, and Yao Chi—all of whom possess Top-grade Innate Spiritual Roots—should have Three Lights Divine Water too."

"And there's Daoist Zhun Ti. His main body is the Geng Jin Bodhi Tree. There's no way he doesn't have Three Lights Divine Water either. So why is it never mentioned in the original trajectory of the Primordial World?"

Just then, Qing Xuan saw a burst of treasure light emanating from beneath the green lotus. Looking closely, it turned out to be a treasure cup.

The cup had eight sides corresponding to the eight directions, each side bearing a design: Treasure Umbrella, Golden Fish, Treasure Vase, Wondrous Lotus, Right-coiled White Conch, Auspicious Knot, Victory Banner, and Golden Wheel.

All the Three Lights Divine Water dripping from the lotus leaves was collected into this treasure cup. Qing Xuan instantly called out the cup's name.

"This is the Eight Treasures Glazed Cup? An innate spiritual treasure specifically used to hold Three Lights Divine Water?"

As he spoke, the folding fan in Qing Xuan's hand had already opened. The Purple Gold Gourd hanging from the fan pendant instantly flew toward the green lotus and collected the Eight Treasures Glazed Cup into the gourd.

The Purple Gold Gourd flew back into Qing Xuan's hand. He quickly took out the Eight Treasures Glazed Cup and poured the Three Lights Divine Water he had collected into it.

As the Three Lights Divine Water entered the Eight Treasures Glazed Cup, the cup actually emitted a three-colored light.

Qing Xuan could sense a trace of the Creation Law on the Eight Treasures Glazed Cup, which allowed the Three Lights Divine Water inside to slowly and continuously increase.

Although the speed was very slow, it was genuinely real. This was exactly the same as the description of the Eight Treasures Glazed Cup in the original trajectory of the Primordial World.

Immediately, Qing Xuan held the Eight Treasures Glazed Cup in his palm and said, "You two find a place to amuse yourselves. I'm going to refine this Eight Treasures Glazed Cup first."

After saying this, he sat cross-legged by the pool, placed the Eight Treasures Glazed Cup in his palm, and began to refine it with his Natal Heart Fire.

The Eight Treasures Glazed Cup was merely a High-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, containing a total of thirty-two Innate Restrictions. It wasn't top-tier among High-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures, but it was still a rare find.

In the blink of an eye, five hundred years passed. Qing Xuan had finally refined twenty-nine of the Innate Restrictions within the Eight Treasures Glazed Cup.

As for the remaining three, they were the hardest to refine among innate spiritual treasures. Each one could take as much time as all the previous ones combined.

So Qing Xuan naturally had no time to refine those last three Innate Restrictions. After all, there wasn't much time left before the Creation Green Lotus matured.
