Acquiring Treasure on Mount Buzhou

Just then, a clap of thunder echoed in the sky, and the mist in the valley was instantly shaken away.

In front of the cliff in the valley, there was a gourd vine, radiating a vibrant life force.

Before Chen Xuan could react, Tongtian pulled him and the others to the foot of the cliff.

Taishang Laozi's figure flashed directly, and he arrived under the gourd vine.

"This Purple-Gold Red Gourd looks exactly like the gourd I use to hold pills. So, this Purple-Gold Red Gourd belongs to me."

Without waiting for everyone's agreement, he reached out and plucked the Purple-Gold Red Gourd.

Taishang Laozi was the first to pluck a gourd, and Yuanshi Tianzun was ready to make his move second.

But before Yuanshi Tianzun could act, a Daoist in a red robe rushed out first. It was none other than the Red Cloud Ancestor.

The Red Cloud Ancestor arrived in front of the gourd vine, plucked the Purple-Red Gourd without hesitation, and then transformed into a red light, disappearing into the mountain hollow.

This made Yuanshi Tianzun's face darken, and he coldly snorted before saying, "Fellow Daoists, who among you will take this innate gourd next?"

Originally, Yuanshi Tianzun just wanted to be polite, but he didn't expect Eastern Emperor Taiyi to actually step forward.

He directly went up and plucked the Purple-White Gourd, then cupped his fists towards the Three Pure Ones and Goddess Nüwa, transformed into a red light, and left Mount Buzhou.

This made Yuanshi Tianzun even more furious, and he also remembered the Demon Race.

This also made Chen Xuan secretly wonder if his second senior uncle's deep prejudice against the Demon Race in the world was due to this incident.

Fortunately, Goddess Nüwa stepped forward at this moment, "Please, two senior brothers, pluck the gourds first. The ones left will be mine."

Tongtian smiled and shook his head, saying, "Let Second Senior Brother and Junior Sister Nüwa pluck first. Just leave two for my disciple and me."

It seemed that Tongtian was unwilling to compete with others, but in reality, he was telling others that one of the gourds on this gourd vine belonged to his disciple.

Yuanshi Tianzun didn't pay attention to this and directly stepped to the foot of the gourd vine.

After looking at it, he said, "This Purple-Green Gourd can nurture magical treasures, which coincides with my Yuqing Artifact Dao."

The Purple-Green Gourd was plucked by Yuanshi Tianzun, and then Goddess Nüwa plucked the Purple-Cyan Gourd.

Finally, only one Purple-Yellow Gourd and one Purple-Black Gourd were left on the gourd vine.

Tongtian smiled and said to Chen Xuan, "Which of these two do you want? Don't say I'm bullying you, I'll let you choose first."

Chen Xuan smiled and shook his head at Tongtian, "Master, you choose first. Or you can have both, disciple only wants the gourd vine."

After saying that, Chen Xuan actually moved.

Chen Xuan came to the foot of the cliff and directly pulled up the gourd vine.

A large clump of soil was still attached to the roots of the gourd, leaving a considerable deep pit in the original spot.

Chen Xuan held up the gourd vine, with two gourds still hanging on it, and came to Tongtian with a smile on his face.

"Master, these two gourds are yours. I'll take this gourd vine back and plant it, maybe it will grow seven more in the future."

Tongtian shook his head helplessly at Chen Xuan, "Even if the gourds that grow again are acquired objects, how can they compare to these innate objects?"

After saying that, he plucked the Purple-Yellow Gourd and pushed the rest to Chen Xuan.

Chen Xuan didn't stand on ceremony, and with a smile, he put it into his sea of consciousness.

He also planted the gourd vine under the Nine Revolutions Golden Pill Tree. The gourd vine instantly wrapped around the Nine Revolutions Golden Pill Tree, bursting with vitality.

At the same time, Tongtian chanted incantations and pointed at the Purple-Yellow Gourd in his hand.

Immediately after, the Purple-Yellow Gourd transformed into a young boy, who knelt before Tongtian and respectfully bowed.

"From now on, you shall be called Water-Fire Disciple. Stay by my side and be my disciple."

The Water-Fire Disciple naturally bowed and thanked Tongtian repeatedly. Then, under Tongtian's introduction, he paid respects to Taishang Laozi and the other elders, as well as his senior brother Chen Xuan.

No one would have expected that Tongtian would transform a congenital spiritual treasure into a disciple. This was absolutely no different from wasting a heavenly treasure.

As for Chen Xuan, he didn't take this matter to heart. After all, a congenital gourd was truly insignificant compared to the Pagoda of Many Treasures.

Furthermore, Chen Xuan's attention was entirely on Goddess Nüwa. He didn't know what he said to Goddess Nüwa, but he made her giggle incessantly.

This couldn't help but make Yuanshi Tianzun speak to Tongtian, saying, "Third Junior Brother, you should discipline your disciple more often. Otherwise, what will happen if this continues?"

Tongtian glanced at Yuanshi Tianzun with disdain, "Didn't Second Senior Brother say that he would be responsible for teaching him for these three hundred years, so that he wouldn't learn bad things from me?"

Seeing that Tongtian and Yuanshi Tianzun were about to clash again, a Plate-Horned Ox walked over from not far away. On the Plate-Horned Ox sat a round little fatty.

From a distance, the little fatty saw Tongtian and flipped off the Plate-Horned Ox.

He ran to Tongtian in a few steps and knelt down with a thud, "Disciple Duobao, greets Master."

Seeing Daoist Duobao in front of him, Tongtian couldn't help but calculate with his fingers. He immediately knew who the little fatty in front of him was.

He waved his hand and helped him up, and said, "I didn't expect you to transform so quickly. Then from now on, follow me and be my disciple."

Seeing that Tongtian had taken a disciple in such a muddled way, Yuanshi Tianzun immediately became unhappy.

"Third Junior Brother, is it that simple for the Three Pure Ones to take disciples? You haven't even tested his character and you've already taken him in?"

Seeing Yuanshi Tianzun's gloomy expression, it was estimated that if Tongtian argued with him again, they would start fighting again.

So Chen Xuan didn't bother to get close to Goddess Nüwa and hurried to Yuanshi Tianzun.

"Second Senior Uncle, this Daoist Duobao was personally transformed by Master a thousand years ago. He encountered some danger during his transformation, and I happened to meet him..."

Then Chen Xuan recounted in detail to the Three Pure Ones what had happened in the past two hundred years.

This couldn't help but make Goddess Nüwa's face show a hint of sadness. Before the Three Pure Ones could speak, she pulled Chen Xuan over.

And she said to the Three Pure Ones, "Three Senior Brothers, Junior Sister wants to take Chen Xuan to her residence to teach him for a hundred years. Do the three Senior Brothers have any objections?"

Seeing that the Three Pure Ones did not object, Goddess Nüwa bid farewell to the Three Pure Ones and took Chen Xuan back to her dojo.

Chen Xuan didn't even have the right to refuse, and could only turn back and shout to Taishang Laozi, "Senior Uncle, this Plate-Horned Ox is the mount I found for you.

The Diamond Cutter is still tied to the Plate-Horned Ox's nose. Senior Uncle, please keep it for me first, and I will ask for it when I return to Kunlun Mountain."

Finally, Chen Xuan's voice completely disappeared, leaving only the smiling Three Pure Ones and the bewildered Daoist Duobao.
