Translator: Storm in a Teacup

Bo Qing rolled his eyes and tried to refrain from arguing with the little boy.

Long Baobao then moved closer to Ye Lingyue and whispered.

“Sister Black, neither Spiritual Energy nor Yuan Energy could conquer Qiankun Zijin Bamboo. The bamboo corresponds with the element of wood and wood can only be conquered by fire. So only weapons or martial arts related to the element of fire are able to cut down Qiankun Zijin Bamboo. If Sister Lan is with us, she can easily cut off those bamboos with her whip.”

Members of a well-known weapon-making family would surely know about the interaction among the five elements.

Bo Qing knew nothing about such interaction since he had no knowledge about weapon-making or pills.

Ye Lingyue was enlightened by Long Baobao’s words.

“If I want to transplant the bamboos instead of cutting them down, could you offer me a better method?” Ye Lingyue asked further.

Unlike others, Ye Lingyue did not want to use Qiankun Zijin Bamboos just once. What she needed was loads of such bamboos that could be planted and reused.

“Surely. You only need to uproot the bamboo shoots when it’s bright. But Qiankun Zijin Bamboo is picky about the growing environment and can’t be easily transplanted. Moreover, it grows quite slowly. Are you planning to take the bamboos back for the watching purpose only?” Long Baobao was curious.

“I have my own plan.” Ye Lingyue smiled and didn’t answer directly.

“Tut-tut, boy, I thought your intelligence has no match. But I am proved wrong now. The old bastard has also found out the right method.” Bo Qing pointed at the the men ahead of them. When Ye Lingyue was talking with Long Baobao, the Great Yellow Immortal pondered for a while and then took out a special spiritual artifact.

The artifact was shaped like a fish spear and could not be compared with the Thunder Bell. But the light golden red glow indicated that it was also a weapon used for Spiritual Melting.

Long Baobao looked nervous.

But Ye Lingyue was not surprised at all.

Swindler as he was, the Great Yellow Immortal did have something to boast of since he could become the leader of a sect with dozens of alchemists. He must know something about the interaction among the five elements.

The Great Yellow Immortal gathered force in his hands and then there were flames flickering on the artifact. With a quick flick of his wrist, the artifact dashed forward.

Burning with a glaring light, the artifact pierced into the Qiankun Zijin Bamboo.

The bamboo pole shook all of a sudden and the originally luxuriant foliage, when hit by the Spirit of Fire, withered away quickly and burned to ashes.

The crack in the pole became bigger. In the very end, the bamboo broke into two halves with a bang.

Long Baobao clenched his fists while watching what happened.

The Great Yellow Immortal might have found out a way to cut off the bamboo, but it was surely the most uncouth and wasteful method.

In this way, he could at most make use of half the bamboos. What a terrible waste!

“Sister Black, shall we take action now? If this goes on, the bamboos will all be wasted.” Long Baobao was doubtful. Before entering the mountain, Ye Lingyue was eager to find Qiankun Zijin Bamboo. But when they finally spotted the bamboo, she didn’t do anything.

Suddenly, Ye Lingyue frowned and signaled her companions to keep silent.

Several figures flashed across the sky.

The Great Yellow Immortal also noticed something remarkable and looked up.

There were fewer stars in the sky now since dawn was approaching.

At this very moment, more than twenty people stood in the air.

These people rode on the clouds, showing an imposing manner. Men were dressed in long dark blue downs and kerchiefs while women wore light blue dresses and jade hairpins, their long hair hanging down over their shoulders. All of them carried on their backs sheaths of all sizes and stepped on duelling swords or short swords shaped like willow leaves.

On their backs were also black and white marks shaped like the Eight Diagrams. Those marks were quite dazzling at night.

A moment earlier, the Great Yellow Immortal rejoiced at the acquisition of the Qiankun Zijin Bamboo. After seeing the marks, however, he showed a worried look.

Hunyuan Sect!

These young men and women were all from Hunyuan Sect, one of the Three Sects and Nine Factions.

Ye Lingyue knew something about Hunyuan Sect.

When she reached the Dan Realm, Ye Lingyue used the Chaos Yuan Art taught by Nie Fengxing to create the unique Chaos Yuan Pill. Nie Fengxing was one follower of Hunyuan Sect.

Ye Lingyue had killed the elder brother of Chen Anzhi, the second young master of Kai Jiang Manor in North Qing. Chen Anzhi was another follower of Hunyuan Sect.

It was said that Chen Anzhi had a high status in the Sect. When attending the folk election for the Dan Palace, the Demon Wolf disguised itself as Chen Anzhi and used the Sect’s Chaos Heaven Fire Cauldron to make the Blood Chaos Pill.

Ye Lingyue guessed that Wu Chong must have acquired the cauldron after killing the Demon Wolf. How lucky he was!

Actually, Ye Lingyue was far luckier since she had grabbed the Spatial Piercing Bow, which was much more powerful than the cauldron.

When Ye Lingyue was lost in thought, one follower of Hunyuan Sect stepped out.

The man was around 25 years old and had delicate features. He might have a say among all those young men and women.

“How dare you grab the bamboo under the nose of our Hunyuan Sect!”

The man was young but quite aggressive. His words showed that they had already regarded Zizhu Mountain as their own.

Hunyuan Sect was located on the borders of North Qing and had a good relationship with the royal family of the North Qing.

Different from other sects which prioritized self detachment, Hunyuan Sect encouraged its followers to integrate into the mortal world.

Hunyuan Sect had accumulated great power by admitting a great many nobleman every year, including members of the royal family. A lot of its talented followers came from the nobility.

Some of them would, after making achievements in cultivation, return to the North Qing to serve as officials. This situation went on for long. Now the Sect and the North Qing were already fully integrated with each other.

In this case, the Sect’s followers took it for granted that Zizhu Mountain which lay on the borders between Da Xia and the North Qing belonged to the latter. In their view, all the treasures within the mountain belonged to Hunyuan Sect, the biggest sect in the North Qing.

The man’s words certainly incurred the dissatisfaction of the Great Yellow Immortal and Ye Lingyue.

Ye Lingyue was none other than the new female lord of Zizhu Mountain. Before she could claim her authority, a sect far away from the capital even dared to show off.

Ye Lingyue sneered but did not say anything.

It might be better when members of Hunyuan Sect joined the scramble. She could just let the two groups with a similar number of people fight each other for a while. When they were both tired out, she could grasp the chance to take away the bamboos.

Bo Qing thought in the same way as Ye Lingyue.

The Great Yellow Immortal, however, could not stay calm any more.

He shook his beard and sneered.

“Bastards, don’t you know who I am? How dare you talk to me like this! Then let me send all of you to hell!”
