After absorbing the Creation Level Great Yi Arrow Technique,

Qin Hao stood up and left the Heavenly Master Mansion, making his way to the vegetable garden in the back mountain.

He checked his current incense points.

After reclaiming the Star Glass Bowl, Qin Hao’s incense points had reached a new peak.

A whopping 20.2 billion incense points.

With such a terrifying amount of incense points, Qin Hao could once again work on ripening the gourd vine.

It had been a long time since he last ripened the gourd vine.

The reason he hadn’t done it for so long was the enormous cost.

Previously, he never had enough incense points, but now, he definitely did!

Qin Hao examined the new gourd on the vine.

The multi-colored gourd seedling,

which emitted a rainbow fairy light even before it had ripened, clearly indicated that it was an extraordinary item!

This time, he had to succeed in plucking this gourd!

Qin Hao stood before the gourd vine and began to hasten the ripening of the Innate Gourd.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for expending 10 million incense points to successfully speed up the ripening of the gourd vine once!"

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for expending 10 million incense points to successfully speed up the ripening of the gourd vine once!"

...

Previously, to ripen a purple gourd, the entire process took only 4 million incense points.

He didn’t even use 5 million.

But now, just one ripening of the new gourd cost 10 million incense points!

The difference was terrifying!

Even though Qin Hao had a lot of incense points now, such expenditure still made him wince in pain!

After several iterations, he saw the painfully slow growth rate of the five-colored gourd before him.

In the blink of an eye, 100 billion incense points were invested, yet the size of the new gourd had barely increased.

This was indeed the first Ten Thousand Tribulations Level gourd.

The 100 billion incense points were just thrown in for fun.

It was a good thing Qin Hao didn’t try to ripen this gourd when he had 100 billion incense points.

If he had invested all 100 billion incense points at that time, the minimal change in the little gourd would probably have made him cry out in loss.

But now it was different.

Qin Hao had plenty of incense points on hand.

So the loss of 100 billion was bearable.

He continued ripening.

In the blink of an eye, he had hastened the ripening of the gourd vine another 1000 times.

After another investment of 100 billion incense points, the gourd showed little change.

If you must say there was a change, it was that it got slightly fatter.

With 200 billion incense points spent, the growth rate was indeed quite heartbreaking.

Qin Hao couldn’t be bothered to do it slowly anymore.

He activated automatic ripening.

After all, he had so many incense points just sitting there; he might as well let the system handle it.

The incense points that should be spent will inevitably be used.

He wanted to see how many incense points the system could pump into ripening this new gourd.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for expending 10 million incense points to successfully speed up the ripening of the gourd vine once!"

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for expending 10 million incense points to successfully speed up the ripening of the gourd vine once!"

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for expending 10 million incense points to successfully speed up the ripening of the gourd vine once!"

...

After handing over the ripening task to the system,

Qin Hao became an emotionless gourd ripening machine.

Watching the incense points in his system’s backend plummet.

In the blink of an eye, they dropped from 19 billion to 15 billion.

Another blink, and it went from 15 billion to 5 billion.

Qin Hao’s mindset was somewhat explosive.

Fortunately, when the incense points dropped to 5 billion, his ears heard a crisp notification.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully ripening and obtaining a mature Innate Five-Colored Gourd!"

Before Qin Hao’s eyes, the five-colored gourd on the vine finally plumped up completely after ripening.

And above this five-colored gourd, in Qin Hao’s eyes, appeared the words:

Maturity: 100% (Ready for plucking!)

This meant that the new gourd on the vine was officially fully ripened by Qin Hao.

Qin Hao calculated the incense points he spent on ripening this five-colored gourd.

Initially bringing this five-colored gourd into existence had cost him 4.3 billion incense points.

Now, after ripening, with an original amount of 202 billion incense points,

he was left with only 50 billion.

That means he spent 152 billion on ripening!

This new gourd was worth a total of 156.3 billion incense points!

Heavensly-priced gourd!

Apart from "heavensly-priced," Qin Hao couldn’t think of any other adjectives to describe it.

The cost was indeed outrageous.

He hoped this new gourd wouldn’t disappoint him.

Qin Hao was quite confident in the Innate Gourd Vine.

After all, every gourd ripened from this vine in the past, whether yellow, purple, red, or the black and white inverted gourds!

The quality was guaranteed.

Each and every one was a premium treasure!

They were extremely helpful to Qin Hao.

One could say they were worth the cost.

Otherwise, Qin Hao wouldn’t willingly spend so many incense points on the gourd vine.

Now, this five-colored gourd should also meet expectations and not disappoint him.

Qin Hao reached out and plucked the newly formed five-colored glass gourd from the vine.

The gourd erupted with a burst of rainbow fairy light as Qin Hao took it.

The moment Qin Hao touched the glass gourd,

the complete information about this gourd appeared in his mind.

Name: Innate Five-Colored Incubation Gourd

Type: Growth Type Treasure

Level: Ten Thousand Tribulations Level

Status: Mature

Attributes: Incubation, Forging, Defense

Note: The Innate Five-Colored Gourd carries the innate laws of incubation, Five-Colored Chaotic Qi, and Divine Forging Qi. With inherent incubation laws, Five-Colored Chaotic Qi, and forging power,

After the gourd matures, it can autonomously bear Divine Weapons, Martial Arts, Cultivation Techniques, and Divine Skills!

The gourd expels Five-Colored Chaotic Qi, which can turn into innate barriers, possessing strong defense.

Placing Divine Weapons inside the gourd, after a number of days, can directly upgrade them by one grade!

...

Qin Hao looked at the introduction of the five-colored gourd.

He said, "Indeed, it’s at the Ten Thousand Tribulations Level!"

Similar to previous gourds,

each of the previous gourds had their unique Divine Skills.

For instance, the Yellow Gourd had Divine Skills like "Swallowing Sword" and "Sword Transformation."

The Purple Gourd had Divine Skills like "Storage," "Devouring," and "Huayuan!"

The Red Gourd had Divine Skills like "Fire Eating," "Melt Flame," "Fire Vomiting," and "Fire Control!"

The Black and White Gourd even had such flamboyant Divine Skills like "Five Elements Inversion," "Yin Yang Qi Domain," and "Yin Yang Mirror Image Engraving."

Almost each gourd had three to four Divine Skills.

The five-colored gourd is no different, also possessing two Divine Skills.

One is "Bearing Treasure," and the other is "Defense!"

Don’t let the simple names fool you; the simpler the name, the more practical the Divine Skill!

Just the first one, "Bearing Treasure," almost brought Qin Hao to his knees after reading about it.

As long as the gourd continuously absorbs spiritual energy, every once in a while, this five-colored gourd will autonomously incubate Divine Weapons, Cultivation Techniques, or Martial Arts of any kind!

And the grade could be anything.

It’s all down to luck!

In other words, with good fortune, Qin Hao might even obtain high-grade Divine Weapons and Martial Arts from this gourd!

Everything’s possible.

Moreover, bearing new treasures is just a passive ability.

The active ability is that Qin Hao can place Divine Weapons, treasures, Cultivation Techniques, or Martial Arts inside, and the gourd can automatically upgrade their grades.

It’s equivalent to an upgrader that does not require resources.

Previously, didn’t the system reward Qin Hao with the second part of the True Martial Star River Sword Map?

Qin Hao still needed six Creation Level Divine Swords.

Originally, he planned to refine zombies from the Purple Gourd, catch the Four Great Blood Emperors in the west, and use the Essence Pills to upgrade the Divine Swords.

But now, it seems completely unnecessary.

With this five-colored gourd, who needs Essence Pills?

Just place the Divine Weapons inside the gourd and wait for the Divine Swords to upgrade on their own! Why bother with the effort?

This five-colored gourd seems tailor-made for raising his Divine Weapons’ grades!

Of course, in addition to "Bearing Treasure," this five-colored gourd has another Divine Skill.

"Defense!"

Among the previous gourds, the Red Gourd’s Divine Fire could also form a fire barrier for defense.

But such defense is incomparable to the dedicated defense Divine Skill of the five-colored gourd.

To give an analogy, the defense of the Red Gourd is like a child using a piece of cardboard as a shield during a water-gun fight.

The defense of the five-colored gourd, however, is akin to summoning a top-grade military fortress shielded with Five-Color Chaotic Qi right in front of you!

Forget the water guns; even a Divinity Transformation Cultivator blasting away at the five-colored gourd’s defense until exhausted wouldn’t make a dent!

It’s said that a thousand Star Annihilation Cannons firing in turns for ten years wouldn’t breach the defenses set by the five-colored gourd!

Play is play, but don’t make jokes about the defense Divine Skill of a Ten Thousand Tribulations Level treasure!
