Actually, there was another thought in Qing Xuan's mind right now—that he and Gao Ming Gao Jue from the Investiture of the Gods era were pretty much the same.

Although he had gained a physical body and could move independently of his main body, that main body was still his fatal weakness. If no one guarded it, even a few random lesser demons could reduce him to ashes.

But that wasn't what Nuwa was worried about. After all, this was her dojo, Phoenix Perch Mountain. Now that she had broken through to Mid-stage Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal, who would dare come here and destroy the Innate Gourd Vine?

What she was concerned about was whether the seven gourds, once they matured, would still have any effect on Qing Xuan. So she directly asked him.

"Little Gourd Vine, now that my gourds are ripe, will you lose essence because of this?"

Every time Nuwa called him Little Gourd Vine, Qing Xuan's face darkened with exasperation, almost blurting out, "What part of me is little?"

But right now, he didn't have the time to argue with Nuwa over that. Instead, he unfolded the folding fan in his hand and fanned it toward the gourd vine.

The next moment, the seven gourds on the Jianmu Platform flew directly toward Qing Xuan. They had clearly fully matured under the nourishment of Creation Power just now.

As the seven gourds flew to Qing Xuan's side and began to spin around him, Nuwa's face finally broke into a smile.

Qing Xuan had already answered Nuwa's question with his actions. Now all she needed to do was protect Qing Xuan's main body until the day he could successfully merge with it.

At that moment, Qing Xuan waved his hand toward Nuwa. The Purple Green Gourd flew right in front of her.

"This gourd is for you. Inside it is a banner that can summon anyone whose name is written on it. But the name must be written with the summoned person's essence blood."

Nuwa shook her head without the slightest hesitation. After all, these were the fruits of Qing Xuan's hard work. She couldn't bear to take what he treasured.

But Qing Xuan smiled and said, "Each of these seven gourds contains a complete Law. So each one is a Supreme Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure."

"But to me, they aren't that precious. Because if I want to, I can grow another one in just twelve Yuanhui."

As he spoke, Qing Xuan pointed his folding fan at the gourd vine. Above the Jianmu Platform where the Purple Green Gourd had hung, a small flower had actually bloomed again.

Even so, Nuwa still shook her head at Qing Xuan. "Then keep that one for yourself. In twelve Yuanhui, I'll come pick the new one."

Nuwa knew full well that Qing Xuan was just comforting her, trying to make her feel at ease about accepting the Purple Green Gourd.

Although the gourd vine could grow new gourds, they would never reach the Supreme Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure level.

In fact, without enough Nine Heavens Breathing Soil and Three Lights Divine Water, the gourds that grew might not even be Innate at best—just Houtian Spiritual Treasures.

Seeing Nuwa refuse so firmly, Qing Xuan felt helpless. Because to him, these gourds really were optional.

Just now, as he condensed his Outer Incarnation, one gourd had also matured at the same time. With the support of seven Laws, it had assisted the Creation Law in helping Qing Xuan complete his physical body's condensation.

So now, the Innate Gourd Vine already contained a complete set of eight Laws. These seven gourds were merely seven Innate Spiritual Treasures. Even if he gave them all away, it wouldn't harm Qing Xuan's foundation in the slightest.

At this point, Fu Xi, who was standing nearby, also spoke up. "Daoist Qing Xuan, don't insist. These seven gourds are like Companion Spiritual Treasures to you. How can you give them away so easily?"

Nuwa nodded repeatedly beside him, agreeing with her elder brother. There was no way she would accept this gourd.

Since things had come to this, Qing Xuan didn't press further. He simply turned the seven gourds into fan pendants on the folding fan in his hand.

Only then did Fu Xi seriously examine the folding fan in Qing Xuan's hand. And once he looked, he couldn't help but be shocked.

"Daoist Qing Xuan, has this spiritual treasure in your hand already reached the Innate Supreme Treasure level?"

Hearing Fu Xi say this, Qing Xuan also glanced at the folding fan in his hand. To be honest, he didn't know what grade this fan was.

After all, this fan wasn't something from the Primordial World. It was something Qing Xuan had brought with him when he transmigrated. In fact, it was because of this fan that Qing Xuan had transmigrated.

He remembered that at the time, on a whim, he had gone to browse the Ghost Market. By chance, he had come across this folding fan.

The fan bones were made from some unknown material. The fan surface was neither purple nor gauze, but it had no pattern on it at all.

That was precisely what had caught Qing Xuan's attention. But the moment his hand touched the fan, he felt the world spin.

In the last instant before losing consciousness, Qing Xuan even saw the stall owner's lips curl into a sinister smile.

When Qing Xuan regained consciousness, he had already become the Innate Gourd Vine. This folding fan had been warming in his Primordial Spirit ever since.

Now that Qing Xuan had used Creation Power to condense a physical body, his Primordial Spirit naturally attached itself to this body. So the fan naturally appeared in Qing Xuan's hand.

Now that Fu Xi asked whether the fan in his hand was an Innate Supreme Treasure, Qing Xuan unfolded the fan again. Just as he was about to speak, he saw that the originally blank fan surface now bore a picture.

But this picture only occupied a corner of the entire fan surface. And its content was none other than his own main body—the Innate Gourd Vine.

Unfortunately, this fan wasn't a system; it couldn't give Qing Xuan any explanation. So Qing Xuan had no idea what made this fan special.

He casually handed it to Fu Xi. Since he couldn't figure it out himself, he might as well let Fu Xi take a look and determine what grade the fan was.

Fu Xi reached out and took the fan, only to feel an immense weight—like ten thousand jun. Though he didn't drop it, holding it was extremely strenuous.

He quickly placed it on the stone table and unfolded it. But the stone table immediately cracked under the pressure.

This shocked Fu Xi even more. He hurriedly activated the Innate Bagua to deduce the Karma and history of this fan.

But no matter how hard Fu Xi tried, all he saw was a dense fog. He couldn't make out the fan's origin at all.

However, there was one thing Fu Xi could confirm: its grade definitely surpassed Supreme Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure. As for whether it had reached Innate Supreme Treasure, Fu Xi wasn't sure.

The grade distinction between Innate Spiritual Treasures and Innate Supreme Treasures was based on how many Innate Restrictions they contained.

Low-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures had nine to eighteen Innate Restrictions. Mid-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures had nineteen to twenty-seven Innate Restrictions.

High-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures had twenty-eight to thirty-six Innate Restrictions. Supreme Grade Innate Spiritual Treasures had thirty-seven to forty-five Innate Restrictions. Innate Supreme Treasures had forty-six to forty-nine Innate Restrictions.

If it reached fifty Innate Restrictions, that was the Chaos Spiritual Treasure level. If it reached eighty-one Innate Restrictions, that was the Chaos Supreme Treasure level.

But now, Fu Xi couldn't sense a single Innate Restriction at all. He couldn't help but speak with a puzzled expression.

"If it weren't an Innate Supreme Treasure, how could it conceal the Heavenly Secrets? Just now, when Qing Xuan held This Treasure in hand, Fu Xi could not only fail to see Qing Xuan's foundation, but he couldn't even make out his cultivation level."

Hearing Fu Xi say this, Qing Xuan couldn't help but think of one possibility, and silently said to himself: "Could this be my Golden Finger? The ability to block the probing of the Heavenly Dao?"

"If it's only this, then my Golden Finger is a bit too underwhelming. Compared to those systems next door, there's no contest at all."

Thinking this in his heart, he couldn't say it aloud, so Qing Xuan smiled and said: "Perhaps this is the unique trait of a Companion Spiritual Treasure. As for its grade, it may not be that high."

Since Fu Xi couldn't see through it anyway, he could only nod in the end. Then he returned the Folding Fan to Qing Xuan, but a fan-shaped imprint was left on the Stone Table.
