"What ancient runes, old turtle, what are you talking about?"
Lu Fan had no idea what the old turtle was saying.
But the old turtle said, "Except for ancient runes, runes in the ordinary cultivation world definitely do not have such terrifying power! Little ancestor, please tell me quickly, is this magic gourd really left to you by your mother?"
"Nonsense! Why would I lie to you about this?" Lu Fan said.
"That's strange! How could such an ancient treasure end up in your mortal world? And it's still with my mother?" The old turtle expressed his doubts.
Lu Fan actually couldn't understand this logic.
In his memory, his mother was a gentle and kind woman who didn't like to talk!
My mother's family was also an unknown and poor rural family.
But who left this magic gourd behind?
Could it be that there had been cultivators in my mother's family before?
"My dear, you've made a fortune! You've definitely made a fortune!"
"Based on my thousand years of experience, I might as well tell you that the black gourd in your hand is definitely the most precious treasure among all the treasures!" said the old turtle.
"Really?" Lu Fan asked quickly.
"Of course! Although I, Old Turtle, don't know what this black gourd is, just based on the ancient runes on it, I, Old Turtle, can guarantee with my head that this gourd is definitely a treasure!"
Hearing what Lao Gui said, Lu Fan's eyes also showed a glimmer of hope.
Along the way, Lu Fan really has to thank this magic gourd.
If it weren't for this gourd, he and his sister would have starved to death... or been killed by someone...
"Little ancestor, the treasures in the world of cultivation generally require the injection of one's own spiritual power before they can be unsealed! Why don't you try using your spiritual power to see if you can unlock the secret of this treasure gourd?" The old turtle suddenly asked a crucial question.
Upon hearing this, Lu Fan asked, "Are you saying that I should infuse my spiritual power into this gourd? Perhaps I can unlock its secret?"
"Yes!"
Hearing the old turtle say this, Lu Fan lowered his head and glanced at the black gourd in his hand.
After thinking about it, he said, "Okay! I'll try it!"
After saying that.
Lu Fan immediately put into practice the "Evergreen Technique" he had been practicing!
As it was turning, wisps of spiritual power emerged from his dantian and then passed into the black gourd!
It's strange.
The moment Lu Fan's spiritual power entered the gourd, the lines on the gourd began to become noticeably brighter...
Keep injecting!
Lu Fan then injected all his spiritual power into the gourd.
As Lu Fan injected all his spiritual power, he felt as if his whole body was being drained.
Just when he was about to give up, suddenly, all the runes on the surface of the gourd flashed strangely, and then the runes on the treasure gourd suddenly changed, and finally formed a nine-square grid shape!
"Uh? What is this?"
Looking at the gourd rune changing into a nine-square grid shape, Lu Fan's eyes suddenly widened.
Including the old turtle in Lu Fan's sea of divine power, he also saw this scene and was surprised.
"Treasure! It's definitely a treasure!"
The old turtle suddenly shouted with joy.
"Old Turtle, why did the runes on this gourd change?"
Lu Fan asked quickly.
The old turtle stared at the runes that transformed into a nine-square grid and said, "If I, the old turtle, am not mistaken, this nine-square grid should be the nine functions of this magic gourd that you have activated, little ancestor!"
"Function?" Lu Fan was stunned.
"Yes, little ancestor, why don't you try using your spiritual power again? See if you can unlock the functions of these nine-square grids?" said the old turtle.
Lu Fan's face turned dark now.
"My spiritual power has been exhausted..."
Lu Fan was telling the truth.
He had just injected spiritual power into this magic gourd, and had already exhausted all the spiritual power in his body!
At this moment, Lu Fan's face was slightly pale, and there was no spiritual power in his body!
Seeing Lu Fan like this, the old turtle suddenly said, "I'm sorry, little ancestor, I forgot that you are just a rookie at the third level of Qi training."
Lu Fan: "…"
"But don't be discouraged, little ancestor. When your cultivation becomes stronger in the future, you will definitely be able to unlock the secret of this magic gourd!" The old turtle comforted at this time.
Lu Fan didn't say anything, but just stared at the nine spaces that appeared on the magic gourd without blinking!
There were nine blank spaces, each with a strange rune engraved on it!
"I don't know, if unlocking these blanks, can the true function of this treasure gourd really be revealed as the turtle said?"
Lu Fan murmured, with anticipation in his heart.
"It seems that I have to practice harder! Only then, maybe I can really crack the secret of this magic gourd!"
Picking up the magic gourd, Lu Fan gulped down a few big mouthfuls of the gourd water!
Then, he began to sit cross-legged and practice.
…
City God Temple.
Ever since Lu Fan took in those refugees, there is now a team of about a thousand people in the City God Temple.
Whenever there are too many people, trouble will arise!
for example.
As more and more refugees arrived at the City God Temple, many of them began to complain about their food and drink, and even more refugees took the opportunity to cause trouble.
now.
In the area where female refugees live.
I saw a group of women arguing there.
"You damn bitch, who let you take my place? Do you know that this is our territory?"
Following the direction of the voice, I saw a richly dressed young woman yelling at a group of shabbily dressed women.
Looking closely, these are the young rich ladies who came to Lu Fan from Qingyang County!
"You poor bastards, why don't you take a piss and look in the mirror? You don't even pay a penny, and you want to live here? I really don't know why our young master wants to take in garbage like you."
"Come here, throw all these poor things out, don't let them in!"
As the rich woman said this, several women immediately threw out the luggage of these poor refugees.
"And you, you ugly freak with a scar on your face! Get away from us right now! Stop disgusting us! If you dare to come here again, we'll beat you to death!"
A rich woman suddenly pointed at Li Qinghuang, whose face was covered with scars and looked extremely ugly.
Li Qinghuang did not talk back when being scolded.
She just looked up at these rich women, then silently took her luggage and left the thatched hut!
After finding a sheltered place, Li Qinghuang put down his luggage.
She touched her ugly cheek and murmured, "Old Mu once said that this disguise pill would be effective for fifteen days. Now two days have passed, and there are still thirteen days left!"
After she finished speaking, she looked up at the gloomy sky, and her eyes flashed with the scene of her parents and more than 400 people in Prince Yan's Mansion being buried in a sea of blood... Then her nails pierced into her palms, and drops of blood flowed out from her palms, but she had no consciousness at all.
