The purple gold gourd was rather nice to look at. It had round, smooth curves and a luxurious appearance. It truly looked good as a hanging piece.

However, looking at the expressions in Aunt Caiyun's and Qing Qing's eyes, I knew that this thing is not ordinary. I have never seen it before, so I would never think that it was a rare treasure.

I set the purple gold gourd aside and asked Aunt Caiyun, "What did you ask me earlier? Can you tell me?"

"What do you want to know?" Caiyun's eyes were shining as she stared at the purple gold gourd. She didn't even raise her head as she spoke.

I quickly picked up the purple gold gourd and put it into my pocket. I used my hands to stop Aunt Caiyun from coming over and snatching it away. "Can't you speak properly? If you don't, I won't take out the purple gold gourd."

"Fine, you little brat actually dared to threaten aunty." Aunt Caiyun helplessly sat down and spread out her hands, "Let's begin. If there's anything you want to know, I'll tell you as long as it's something I know."

I pulled a chair over and sat beside her. "What's going on with Thunderclap Mountain? Why did so many cultivators enter but most of them died? Also, who caused their deaths?"

"As for the specific situation, the Jade True Monastery's Leader did not explain it clearly. After all, Daoist Yuji went crazy after escaping from the Thunderclap Mountain, and most of his crazy rumors were about Thunderclap Mountain. I only understand that there is a very powerful evil being living in the Thunderclap Mountain, and he has probably reached the level of the Ghost King."

Just as I was lost in my thoughts, I realised that Aunt Caiyun had already shut her mouth and did not speak. I curiously asked, "Is it over?"

"Mm, I'm finished. That's all I know."

The heck, didn't they just come for nothing? So many cultivators who entered Thunderclap Mountain and weren't able to return, as long as they had brains, they would all think that there was definitely a very powerful fellow living inside.

I shook my head disappointedly. I felt that in the entire night, other than the constant tormenting, there was nothing else I could do.

But unexpectedly, Aunt Caiyun and I were in completely different moods. I only saw her excitedly patting my shoulder, saying, "You brat, don't take the advantage and act good. The biggest beneficiary of coming to the Clear Void Monastery is you."

"Come on, I don't get anything here other than being dragged around like a dog by those young Daoists."

Qing Qing covered her mouth and snickered. She pointed at my bulging pockets and said, "Purple-gold gourd!"

"Isn't it just a broken gourd? It might be a magical item in your eyes, but to me, it's nothing." I placed the purple gold gourd on the table and said, "Here, you guys can take it to play with it."

With that, he turned around and left. The sky was about to brighten. Rather than staring at a broken gourd, it was better to just sleep on the bed.

Qing Qing pulled me back down and pushed me back onto the chair. She then held out the purple gourd to me. "The purple gold gourd is your greatest gain. It will be of great help to you, but you wouldn't be able to imagine it."

"What help? Why don't you tell me?"

Aunt Caiyun also smiled and walked over to me. She patted my shoulder and said, "The True Jade Temple Lord said that the golden-purple gourd can suppress demons and devils. This is a bit too much. However, there is one thing that the Master of the True Jade Temple is right about, the purple gold gourd is able to absorb souls, which is something that no other magical equipment can do. "

Still confused, I asked, "So?"

"That's why your master has good eyes. He saw that you have the Art of Soulreaper in your body." Caiyun's aunt ridiculed her master a few more times before continuing, "Although the Art of Soulreaper is in your body, it can't get enough energy and won't have any use. The purple gold gourd is the magic item that can provide you with energy."

After Caiyun and Qingqing's continuous explanations, I finally understood the relationship between the Amethyst Jade Gourd and the Art of Soulreaper.

The greatest function of the purple gold gourd was to absorb a person's soul and body and store them within the gourd. The use of the Art of Soul Awakening was the same, but the power of the early stage wasn't enough. It couldn't truly absorb souls and souls.

This would require the help of the purple gold gourd. After I let the gourd absorb the soul or body, I would then control the Art of Soul Awakening to absorb the soul or body stored within the gourd.

"But I don't know how to use the purple gold gourd. Furthermore, I can't control the Art of Soulreaper either."

Hearing what I said, Aunt Caiyun almost went mad on the spot, "Comprehension, this old man, I really don't know why he accepted you as his disciple. Isn't he trying to mislead others? Since he knows that you have the Art of Soulreaper, he doesn't tell you how to control it."

Qing Qing walked over and tugged at her clothes, saying, "Aunt Caiyun, if you knew, teach Little Tian how to control the Art of Soulreaper."

"The Soulreaper Art is an item with an extremely dense amount of Yin Qi. How would I know how to control it?" Caiyun shook her head, paused for a moment, and then continued, "Since the Art of Soul Awakening is in your body, as long as you put your heart into it, you will be able to awaken it yourself sooner or later."

I scratched my head and asked, "Is that really the case?"

The sky was bright, and we didn't sleep for the entire night. Under the happy escort of the Jade Maiden Temple's master, Xu Qing left and headed in the direction of Thunderclap Mountain.

The boredom on the way made me think of what Aunt Caiyun had said. I secretly tried to sense the Art of Soulreaper in my body, and after many failures, I suddenly felt its existence.

I've heard the name "Art of Soulreaper" come out of other people's mouths many times. I thought it was something similar to a book, but when I truly felt its existence, I realized it was just a weak ball of energy.

It was as weak as a newborn baby. Even the slightest movement could make it vanish into thin air.

Is this the Art of Soul Awakening? Why does it look so useless? As I thought about its existence, I curiously thought about it. Is it really as powerful as what my master and aunt Cai Yun said?

I didn't feel a thing about it, but I was glad that I could feel it. It was an incredible thing for me.

Just when I was immersed in the excitement of sensing the Art of Soulreaper, a hand suddenly patted my shoulder, bringing me back to reality. I turned to look at Aunt Caiyun and asked, "Why are you taking pictures of me?"

"Kid, you have been quiet all this time. What are you thinking about?"

I hesitated for a moment before deciding to tell her. "I've just tried it, and I can actually feel it. You think this is a good thing?"

"Really?" Aunt Caiyun immediately became excited. She shook my arm and said, "It's a good thing, it's a good thing! This is a great thing! Continue to use the Art of Soul Awakening and communicate with it. Try to awaken it."

F * ck, this isn't a daughter-in-law, is there a need to use love like that?
