X-Dragon Era-Chapter 457 - 334-336 Reflection of Innate_3

Sighing, Xin Yun shook his head. No matter what, the Red Gourd couldn’t be wasted. Although the future was uncertain, it was still just a child for now, at the Innate Perfection stage. As for what would come after, that would depend on Xin Yun’s efforts.

Lost in thought, Xin Yun moved and landed in front of the little one. Feeling Xin Yun’s approach, the little one twisted her head around in fright, her green, Ying-ful eyes fearfully looking up at Xin Yun.

With a sigh, Xin Yun reached out with his index finger, gently pressing on the little one’s forehead. A burst of True Spirit instantly entered, merging with the little one’s True Spirit, and from that moment on, the Spiritual Treasure was successfully refined.

As Xin Yun’s True Spirit entered, the little one’s spiritual intelligence blossomed. From Xin Yun, she instantly understood many things. With a single thought, she turned over and knelt down, repeatedly kowtowing.

After refining the Spiritual Treasure, Xin Yun’s True Spirit merged with that of the Spiritual Treasure. If Xin Yun lived, the Spiritual Treasure lived; if Xin Yun died, the True Spirit of the Spiritual Treasure would also vanish into smoke and clouds. This was what was meant by a Companion Spirit Treasure, or rather, a symbiotic relationship!

However, even in a symbiotic relationship, there were still roles of primary and secondary. Naturally, Xin Yun’s True Spirit was dominant. Otherwise, it would not have been Xin Yun refining the Spiritual Treasure, but the Spiritual Treasure refining Xin Yun. Not to mention whether Xin Yun would be willing, this little one simply didn’t have the capability. Even if Xin Yun were willing, it wouldn’t be possible.

Refining a Spiritual Treasure was an extremely dangerous affair. If one attempted to refine a superlative Spiritual Treasure and made even a slight mistake, it could backfire, and instead of refining it, one would be refined by it, leaving nothing but smoke and remnants.

Fortunately, the Red Gourd was just a newborn infant, incredibly frail, and posed no danger in the refining process. After all... it was merely an embryonic Innate Spiritual Treasure.

After bonding with the Spiritual Treasure, Xin Yun and the Spiritual Treasure could be said to share one mind. Whatever thoughts each had would be instantly sensed by the other, just as if they were one’s own. When controlled, this connection was as natural as moving one’s own arm, incomparably superior to mere refining.

Spiritual Treasures had affinities. These affinities referred to the character of the Treasure. Some Treasures could make one angry, crazed; those who used such Treasures were influenced by them to become extremely violent, killing at the slightest provocation. These were known as demonic treasures.

Some Treasures, on the other hand, could calm the heart and mind, preventing the rise of inner demons. These were known as Buddhist Treasures. And there were Treasures that could lead one to desirelessness, leaving the mind as pure as an unsoiled mirror – the so-called Treasures of the Immortals. Once bonded with a Spiritual Treasure, one’s character was bound to be influenced by the affinity of the Treasure, and even sages could not avoid this.

Take the Leader of Tongtian, for instance. In truth… he was influenced by the Green Sword and became unbelievably extreme. Swords, signifying misfortune and great calamity, were not only easy for harming others but also for harming oneself. In fact… Leader of Tongtian later suffered greatly, killing many, but his own losses seemed even greater.

Having bonded with the Spiritual Treasure, Xin Yun instantly knew that this little one was not a boy, but a little girl. Looking at those green, Ying-filled eyes, Xin Yun could hardly imagine just how beautiful she would become in the future.

Although she was a little girl, her temperament was not necessarily gentle or tender. She was still a child, her personality not yet formed. How she was nurtured would shape her character, so... the future was a mystery, and it was impossible to know for sure at this time.

Of course, the so-called bonding did not mean merging two beings into one. In truth, they were still two separate individuals, but... they were two individuals with minds perfectly attuned. Other than that, he was him, and you were you; they would never become one and the same.

Moreover, due to the bond, both parties were absolutely loyal. As the adage goes, "If he thrives, so do I." The more powerful the Spiritual Treasure became, the more formidable Xin Yun would be. Conversely, the more formidable Xin Yun became, the more powerful the Spiritual Treasure would be; they would thrive or suffer together.

A typical case of a Companion Spirit Treasure was the Spirit Pearl that incarnated as Nezha. The Spirit Pearl was originally Nuwa’s Companion Spirit Treasure. Later, when Nuwa ascended to sainthood, and the Spirit Pearl wanted to go out and play, it was reincarnated in Li Jing’s home at Chentang Gate and became the Third Prince, Nezha! In truth, before this, Nezha’s original self—the Spirit Pearl—was an Innate Spiritual Treasure bonded with Nuwa.

Bending down gently, Xin Yun picked up the delicate little one and smiled, saying, "Little one, you don’t have a name yet. What should I call you?"

Hearing Xin Yun’s words, the little girl pouted her lips, pondering hard for a while, and then firmly said, "I don’t know what to call myself. Why don’t you give me a name?"

Looking at the little one’s eyes, brimming with green Ying, Xin Yun truly adored her. Even the purest of gemstones could not compare. Thus, her name was decided.

With that thought, Xin Yun smiled and said, "Your eyes, brimming with green Ying, are truly beautiful. So... let’s call you Green Ying. For a nickname, Green. How does that sound?"

"Hmm..." Nodding vigorously, the little one joyfully said, "Such a nice name, I like it very much..."

Hearing the little one’s words, Xin Yun laughed heartily. Yes... it was indeed a nice name. There was no way the little one wouldn’t like it. He dared to say so because he thought it nice, just because he liked it.

In a bond with a Spiritual Treasure, not only the person but more importantly, the Treasure Spirit was influenced. It could be said... whatever Xin Yun liked, Green couldn’t possibly dislike, and what Xin Yun disliked, Green couldn’t possibly like. This was mutual influence.
