Chapter 1619 A Talking Elbow

Inside Zhang Xuan's body, there were only a few things that could communicate with him mentally.

The doppelgänger, that goof, had been locked away in a folded space long ago because it always stole the spotlight as soon as it came out; the Cruel One had been quiet ever since learning that its sternum was sealed in the Saint Son Hall. Besides, without Zhang Xuan's permission, it couldn't even release its divine sense, let alone speak.

As for Little Talisman, it was stored in the storage ring, and its voice couldn't get through either. Nor was it the Dragon Bone Divine Spear.

But the sudden voice inside his body was clear and loud, like a tender infant, unmistakably not an auditory hallucination...

Something had slipped into his body without a sound, and he hadn't even noticed?

With a stir of his mind, he quickly looked inward, scanning his body, but found nothing. He could no longer hold back: "Who is it, playing tricks?"

"Playing tricks? I'm Little Gourd!"

The voice answered hastily.

Zhang Xuan's scalp tingled: "Little Gourd?"

"Yep, it's me!"

A gourd wiggled its bottom in his dantian.

"The Voidgourd?" Zhang Xuan was stunned.

This thing—he had known it was spiritual before, burrowing into his dantian and refusing to leave, fond of absorbing lightning... Why was it suddenly talking?

And... Little Gourd? Did you think you were a Calabash Brother?

"That's right. I've absorbed countless thunderbolts and awakened. Hurry and bring that celestial meteorite over..." The Voidgourd continued wiggling its bottom.

"Eat it?" Zhang Xuan frowned. "Do you recognize what this thing is?"

He had guessed earlier that this Voidgourd was not simple, but he never expected it could talk. It was so eager for this stone—could it recognize what it was?

"I don't know, but I know I can eat it!"

Said the Voidgourd.

"Eat it?"

Full of doubt, Zhang Xuan took the celestial meteorite out of the jade box. As his finger touched it, the Library shook, and a book appeared with a line of text: Celestial Fallen Crystal, an object that flew out of a spatial rift, can be used to smelt weapons, value uncertain.

"Celestial Fallen Crystal? Value uncertain—what does that mean?"

Zhang Xuan frowned.

This was the first time the Heavenly Dao Library had been so vague in identifying an item.

Before, as long as he touched something, it could trace its origins back eight generations... Now it only said 'uncertain'...

Value uncertain—was it high or low?

"It seems the Library isn't as reliable as before..."

He couldn't help shaking his head.

Ever since his cultivation reached the peak of Saint Realm Ninth Layer and he encountered more and more experts, the Library hadn't been as dependable as before.

It couldn't even identify a single crystal—this once-infallible tool was no longer so useful.

"I must go to the Diviner Guild..."

Knowing that seeking a diviner to upgrade the Library was imperative, Zhang Xuan shook his head. He was about to toss the Celestial Fallen Crystal to the Voidgourd to eat but stopped himself.

"You say you're the Voidgourd, but can the Voidgourd really eat this? What exactly are you?"

Zhang Xuan couldn't help asking.

If it were just a gourd hiding in his dantian, that would be one thing, but now it had come to life and could talk—he couldn't rest easy.

"I'm a gourd, who else? Don't worry, by entering your dantian, I've already acknowledged you as master... I won't harm you. Otherwise, I'd die too. I'm living well, and I still want to court a female gourd later—only a ghost would want to die..."

Said the Voidgourd.

"No, I still can't rest easy. How about this: I'll give you this Celestial Fallen Crystal, but you leave my dantian and enter the storage ring!"

After a moment's thought, Zhang Xuan said.

"Don't worry, after I eat the Celestial Fallen Crystal, I'll fall asleep again and definitely won't bother you..." As if accustomed to its spot, the Voidgourd was unwilling to leave.

Zhang Xuan frowned.

He had no way to deal with this gourd. Earlier, once it burrowed in, he couldn't get it out. Even after reaching the peak of Saint Realm Ninth Layer, he had tried and still couldn't extract it.

If it insisted on staying, wouldn't that be like having a time bomb inside him? It said it wouldn't cause trouble, but who knew if it would act recklessly?

Better get it out first!

"Go sleep in the storage ring, or else don't even mention this!" With a flick of his hand, he closed the jade box again.

"Fine..."

Seeing that he wouldn't give it food, the Voidgourd was helpless. With a slight shake, when Zhang Xuan looked again, it had vanished from his dantian and somehow entered the storage ring.

"This..."

His pupils contracted, and Zhang Xuan was startled.

His dantian was inside his body; the storage ring was an independent folded space... Without going through him, its owner, it could freely shuttle and enter directly—its mastery of space was even stronger than his...

What the hell was this thing?

"Whatever it is, if it dares to cause trouble, I'll just smash it with a Heavenly Dao Volume!"

He snorted.

Earlier, when Luo Xuanqing was learning knowledge, the Library had generated another new Heavenly Dao Volume. This thing could easily suppress even the Cruel One, so suppressing a gourd should be easy.

If he really brought down the book, it would probably turn into a ladle.

With that assurance and the thing no longer in his dantian, he relaxed. He looked up at Luo Qianzhen nearby and smiled: "Can I take this thing?"

"Our clan's ancestors studied it many times but never figured out what it is. If the clan leader wants it, take it!"

Luo Qianzhen nodded.

"Thank you..."

Hearing that it was allowed, Zhang Xuan relaxed. With a thought, he sent the jade box into the ring.

Seeing the jade box, the gourd excitedly rushed over. Its body twisted, and the Celestial Fallen Crystal inside the box vanished, presumably eaten.

Then, as it had said, it fell into a deep sleep and didn't move again.

"A talking gourd..."

Seeing that the thing wasn't causing trouble, Zhang Xuan sighed in relief while also rubbing his forehead.

He had too many weird things on him now: a talking talisman, a talking gourd, a talking spear... Fortunately, the elbows stored in the ring as food didn't talk. Otherwise, if a talking elbow appeared, he'd be scared to death.

Ignoring the gourd, Zhang Xuan continued looking ahead. Before long, he indeed found some good stuff.

There were spiritual liquids, pills, and some special heavenly treasures.

He had to admit, as the second-ranked clan on the continent, the Luo family's collection was indeed rich.

He took some items that would allow him to break through in a short time and never worry about spiritual energy again, then walked out.

After all, these were things painstakingly gathered by the clan's ancestors. As an impostor who wasn't a Luo family member, it would be too unkind to empty the place.

Even so, he took quite a lot of good stuff.

If the treasures given by Xing Jian Sheng last time had amazed him, this time he took at least ten times as much. If he weren't the clan leader, Luo Qianzhen would probably have kicked him out long ago.

"I plan to go out soon to seek opportunities and break through as soon as possible. If anything happens in the clan, send me a message, and I'll return immediately!"

After putting away the items, Zhang Xuan said with satisfaction.
