Chapter 836 (2/2)

Therefore, Lin Jing always carried the gourd with him and never discarded or traded it away.

The only problem was, although the gourd was a Daoist Treasure, Lin Jing had tried many times without success.

For some reason, no matter the method, he simply could not refine and use it.

As a result…

The gourd was stored deep in the Space Ring by Lin Jing and was almost completely forgotten until the Xian Duan elder brought it up, reminding Lin Jing of its existence.

Lin Jing handed over the gourd.

The moment the Xian Duan elder saw the gourd, his eyes lit up, and he immediately took it.

After taking the gourd, the Xian Duan elder observed it carefully and immediately said,

“Earth Spirit Azure Gold Jade…”

“Indeed, the material of this gourd Daoist Treasure is Earth Spirit Azure Gold Jade.”

“You…”

At this point, the Xian Duan elder looked up at Lin Jing,

“This gourd is a Daoist Treasure, are you intending…”

“To smelt it for its materials?”

Lin Jing nodded, then said,

“Senior…”

“I have had this gourd for quite some time, but I have always been unable to refine and use it.

I strongly suspect that there is something inherently wrong with the gourd.”

“Since it’s useless as it is, it’s better to smelt it directly and retrieve its materials.”

Hearing what Lin Jing said, the Xian Duan elder looked at the gourd in his hands once more,

“I was only paying attention to its material just now, and I didn’t notice anything else.

Let me take a good look at this gourd to see if it really does have a problem.”

After speaking, the Xian Duan elder circulated his spiritual power, and immediately, a red spiritual power like blazing flames surged out from his body.

At the same time, Lin Jing could feel the Xian Duan elder’s profound and terrifying aura.

Lin Jing had felt this kind of aura before,

And not just once.

It was similar to the aura emitted by the Changyun Clan ancestor, Ye Mingyi, and the Elixir Alliance Hierarch, equally deep and terrifying.

It seemed that the Xian Duan elder was also a peak Mahayana cultivator.

After a thorough inspection, the Xian Duan elder withdrew his spiritual power, and his aura once again became calm.

Then, the Xian Duan elder said,

“You were right…”

“This Daoist Treasure has a problem, and it can no longer be used.”

“I could repair this gourd Daoist Treasure, but the repair would be troublesome, and the rare materials needed are also quite a lot.

It’s not worth it, and there’s no need.”

“If you smelt it, it would be just right to fill the gap for the needed Earth Spirit Azure Gold Jade for the Jinghong Furnace.”
