Lu Feng was baffled by the scruffy old man's words. "A ray of white light between the innate and the acquired? What kind of light is that?" Could even light be divided into innate and acquired?
The scruffy old man thought for a moment before saying, "That light has a history. Back when Pangu split Heaven and Earth, his first axe stroke cleaved Chaos apart. Only afterward did Yin and Yang separate and Heaven and Earth take shape. The radiance of that stroke was the first light in this world. It preceded Heaven and Earth, so it was innate light. Pangu fashioned it into the Innate Light Source and refined it into an Ancient Banner capable of releasing innate light."
"When he swung his axe a second time, Heaven and Earth were opening and Yin and Yang were separating at that very moment, so the radiance of his second stroke fell between the innate and the acquired. Though it couldn't compare to the first ray of light, it was still a wondrous treasure, half innate. If you could obtain it, you could naturally refine it into a powerful treasure."
"This gourd was also an innate creation, but it was picked too early, before it matured, so it can only count as half innate as well. If the two could be combined into one, you'd naturally have a wondrous treasure."

"So it's just a guess. That's hardly reliable!" No matter how the scruffy old man talked until flowers rained from the heavens, Lu Feng immediately lost interest. Then something else occurred to him. "This is an Innate Gourd?
