This gourd was truly strange. It had no openings, and its color was cyan, as if carved from a piece of cyan-colored wood. There was nothing else remarkable about it. However, while the gourd was only the size of a thumb, it weighed several hundred pounds. Perhaps it was precisely because of its impressive weight that it had been preserved all this time and treated as some sort of treasure.
"What a treasure, it truly is a treasure!" Excitement appeared on Zhang Bin's face, for he could now definitively conclude that this was the gourd left behind by Ancestor Deception.
The gourd's origin was far from simple; Ancestor Deception had plucked it from a vine of unknown age. At the time, he hadn't thought much of it and simply refined the gourd into a Magical Treasure. Later, however, he discovered that it gradually lost its properties as a Magical Treasure, reverting to an ordinary gourd that emitted a faint life essence.
