Chapter 511: Chapter 496: Purple-seed Gourd

Which direction to search in, staring at the vast gray Evil Land, Li Cunxu found himself bewildered.

However, soon enough, Li Cunxu had an idea.

Make a wish.

He had the Red Luck Gourd, he could make a wish with it.

“No need to rush the wish, with the luck collected by the Red Luck Gourd being insufficient, the wish might fail, better to kill more of the Evil God’s Creatures and accumulate more luck.”

Thinking of the gourd, Li Cunxu also remembered the Ten Thousand Crows Pot in Ji Tiansao’s hand, unsure if it was a replica or the genuine article.

“The Emperor’s Artifact possesses extraordinary abilities defying logic, maybe I should attempt to acquire one, after all, I too have a good chance of obtaining one.”

Li Cunxu recalled the several gourds in his possession.

Gold Jade Gourd, Blue Outcast Gourd, Honest Gourd, Red Luck Gourd, Blue-seed Gourd.

Gold, blue, orange, red, blue are all collected, only green and purple are missing.

If he could gather the Green-seed Gourd and Purple-seed Gourd, he might be able to synthesize the Emperor’s Artifact: Seven-seed Gourd.

Li Cunxu didn’t know where the Green-seed Gourd was, but he did know about the Purple-seed Gourd, though it was hard to obtain.

Before the great catastrophe, the Purple-seed Gourd was always under the control of the Purple Gold Dynasty.

The Purple Gold Dynasty, a peculiar nation, though a human kingdom, it was controlled by the Purple Gold Dragon Race.

After the great catastrophe, the Purple Gold Dynasty collapsed, and an emperor-level Purple Gold Divine Dragon took the dynasty’s treasury. Among its many treasures, the Purple-seed Gourd was included, now residing in the Manghuang Mountain Range.

Trying to get the Purple-seed Gourd from the hands of the treasure-obsessed Purple Gold Divine Dragon is nearly impossible.

Even if one were to trade an item of equal value to the Purple-seed Gourd, it wouldn’t be exchanged.

The Purple Gold Divine Dragon is extremely obsessed with treasure, and if one were to trade something of equal value to the Purple-seed Gourd, it would result in robbery, not a trade.

However, fortunately, the Purple Gold Divine Dragon is close to dying.

The Purple Gold Divine Dragon is too old and has lived too long, surviving from the Dragon Race era to the Age of Giants, and from the Age of Giants to now.

Die of old age? No, the Purple Gold Divine Dragon won’t die of old age; it doesn’t have the opportunity to. Dying of old age is a luxury for it.

It cannot die peacefully because it is too greedy. Over the long years, it accumulated a powerful strength and robbed many emperor-level treasures, making too many enemies.

Now, the Purple Gold Divine Dragon is old and weak, its strength no longer at its peak.

Those emperor-level beings, naturally, intended to exact harsh vengeance.

Another reason is that the Purple Gold Divine Dragon has too many treasures, and treasures are alluring. Even without enmity, other emperors would attempt to seize its treasures.

But, what year did the Purple Gold Divine Dragon die?

Li Cunxu doesn’t remember clearly; the Purple Gold Divine Dragon was beaten to death by a group of emperor-level beings, something Li Cunxu wasn’t involved in and only had vague knowledge of.

The death of the Purple Gold Divine Dragon wasn’t particularly beneficial for Li Cunxu either.

With the Purple Gold Divine Dragon dead, its treasure would be divided among many powerful emperors, and who knows which strong person would seize the Purple-seed Gourd.

“With it divided among many powerful emperors, there will certainly be allies among them. As a Crystal Merchant, ask the alliance to keep an eye on the Purple-seed Gourd for me.”

This was the only method Li Cunxu could think of.

There was no other choice since the power disparity was too vast.

The gathering of emperors dividing the Purple Gold Divine Dragon’s treasures left no room for Li Cunxu to intervene.

As for whether asking the alliance would work? He could only hope for luck.

What Li Cunxu didn’t know was that asking the alliance to keep an eye on the Purple-seed Gourd caused the Purple Gold Divine Dragon, which was supposed to die in two more years in the game, to die earlier.

The Purple-seed Gourd was still manageable, but the Green-seed Gourd was truly troublesome, with no clues at all.

Furthermore, Li Cunxu gazed at the Blue-seed Gourd, quietly lying in his palm, the size of a pendant.

The Blue-seed Gourd had been in his possession for a long time, yet had not sprouted.

To sprout a Seed Gourd, it requires a King to sacrifice ten years of fortune to cast a Good Luck Blessing Spell.

But no king would sacrifice ten years of fortune for Li Cunxu’s sake unless Li Cunxu managed to completely control a king using another Planet Divine Jade, forcing him to do so.

Acquiring another Planet Divine Jade wasn’t difficult for Li Cunxu; after all, the Emperor’s Tool: Planet Divine Jade was in the possession of the Shendu Principal, whom he could beseech and quite likely obtain it.

The Blue-seed Gourd was obtained during the journey to Ice City, so why hasn’t Li Cunxu sprouted it after all this time?

There are two reasons.

Firstly: The underestimation of the Blue-seed Gourd.

The abilities of the Seed Gourds are limited and offer little help to Li Cunxu, especially post-King level, making them even more limited in utility. For this reason, Li Cunxu lacked the motivation to go through the trouble of sprouting the Blue-seed Gourd.

In fact, it wasn’t really Li Cunxu’s fault for underestimating them, as the capabilities of the Seed Gourds are indeed limited.

For example, many Seed Gourds are completely useless to Li Cunxu now. Out of the four sprouted gourds, only the Red Luck Gourd benefits him; the others are practically useless.

The Gold Jade Gourd had some use prior to reaching Gold level, but beyond that, it couldn’t keep up with Li Cunxu’s progress.

The Blue Outcast Gourd and Honest Gourd were barely used, and they serve little to no purpose.

The Blue Outcast Gourd’s capability is to produce Blue Outcast Liquid, which can make others forget the existence of something.

After attaining the title of Azure Heaven King, Li Cunxu felt the burden of fame and wished to remain low-key, intending to use the Blue Outcast Liquid on himself to erase himself from public memory. The previously accumulated Blue Outcast Liquid ran out after a brief half-night of use, achieving almost negligible results.

The Honest Gourd’s ability is to produce Honest Juice, which makes one speak truthfully upon consumption.

There are innumerable substitutes for Honest Juice, and its effects on a King are limited, requiring mass consumption. As for a Venerable King, its effects are minuscule; a Venerable King Strong Person could drink Honest Juice as ordinary water.

Secondly, Li Cunxu wanted to save the Blue-seed Gourd until he acquired the Purple-seed Gourd, and then sprout several Seed Gourds together.

It wasn’t necessary to control one King at a time, cast the Good Luck Blessing Spell one by one, and then plant the gourds individually.

If the Seed Gourds didn’t sprout, a year later they would absorb Li Cunxu’s luck unless transferred, but this restriction was useless to Li Cunxu anymore.

After sprouting four Seed Gourds, when he acquired the Blue-seed Gourd, an intuition told him that no matter how long he held onto it, it wouldn’t absorb his luck.

Li Cunxu thought it likely due to sprouting four Seed Gourds, meeting a condition preventing Seed Gourds from absorbing luck.

Li Cunxu put the Blue-seed Gourd back into his ring and ventured deeper into the Evil Land.

At the same time, a war correspondent hiding in an invisible space was broadcasting the situation in the Evil Land Continent live.

“War correspondent Xiaoying, broadcasting the current conditions of the Evil Land Continent to everyone.”

“Today, the Evil Land Continent remains a desolate wasteland.”

“Oh! There’s a battle ahead, let’s go take a look.”
