Chapter 661: The Sudden Appearance of Qiankun Zijin Bamboo
Translator: Storm in a Teacup
The mountain path ahead was zigzagging . After walking for more than half an hour, they finally found a luxuriant bamboo forest before them .
On the surface, the plants were just ordinary wild bamboos with long branches and amazing color . Despite their beauty, none of them looked like Qiankun Zijin Bamboo .
Followers of the Blue Thunder Taoist Sect stepped forward and checked everywhere, but in vain .
“Master, we’ve checked every corner but found no such bamboo . ”
The followers were full of confusion . Their Master’s prediction could always be relied upon, but this time was different .
“Back off . Let me have a look . ”
After the followers stepped backward, the Great Yellow Immortal’s eyeballs disappeared, leaving only the white of the eye to be seen .
This was exactly his Yinyang Eye .
Relying on his unique eye, the Great Yellow Immortal looked around . All of a sudden, his eyes fell on some bamboo shoots .
Instantly, he showed an overjoyed look in his eyes .
“I’ve found them . ”
“Master, aren’t they the ordinary purple bamboo shoots?”
One follower asked wonderingly .
“Idiot! They seem to be the ordinary shoots but are in fact the bamboos we’re looking for . Look, there is a purplish layer of mist around them . ” In the eyes of the Great Yellow Immortal, those bamboo shoots were truly priceless .
As time went by, those shoots made a beeping sound while growing at a speed visible to the naked eye . More and more of their tips were breaking through the soil .
Ye Lingyue knew that the moso bamboos grew most quickly . But even the moso bamboos would take more than one month to finish growing . Now, those bamboo shoots as small as stalactite could incredibly grow half as tall as a man in just 15 minutes .
Within the forest, they might be at least a dozen of Qiankun Zijin Bamboos .
They were almost as wide as the arm of a child . They were incredibly exquisite as if carved by expert craftsmen . On the main bodies were teardrop-like golden spots which were glowing in the darkness . They were stunningly attractive and could easily enchant anyone moving closer .
“They are what I saw that night!” Ye Lingyue and Bo Qing had been watching what happened all the while . After seeing the bamboo shoots grow into Qiankun Zijin Bamboos, Bo Qing suddenly saw the light .
They were truly the fickle Qiankun Zijin Bamboos . Only at a certain time in the deep night would they turn into the form of bamboos, while they hid underground in the form of bamboo shoots in the daytime .
No wonder the floods of warriors and alchemists entered the Zizhu Mountain in high spirits but went back with frustration .
If it were not for the the Yinyang Eye of the Great Yellow Immortal, they couldn’t have detected the purple air . Then all their efforts would be a waste .
“Sister Black, the Qiankun Zijin Bamboos will, after getting ripe, break through the soil . Every time after that, they will move underground . Such a process will be repeated only nine times in two months at most . If we miss this chance, the bamboo will go invisible again at any time and reappear after another 100 years . ” Long Baobao whispered in Ye Lingyue’s ears .

Ye Lingyue planned to make the Qiankun Bag with such bamboos . In no case would she let this chance slip away .
She was hesitating about whether to rush forward and stop those men from cutting down the bamboos .
Bo Qing seemed to sense Ye Lingyue’s hesitation .
“Shisan, don’t worry . It’s not that easy to cut down the bamboos . Those guys might not achieve their end . ” Bo Qing was right . If it was so easy, he, as the “Treasure Collector” would have acquired the bamboo that night when he was bitten hard by the mosquitos .
Then he would have no need to flirt with the lustful old man .
“Are you sure?” Ye Lingyue was doubtful about Bo Qing’words .
As they were speaking, the followers of the Blue Thunder Taoist Sect had already taken out their knives, ready to cut down the Qiankun Zijin Bamboos .
Most of these men were around the Dan Realm . The waving knives in their hands gave off dazzling light .
Everyone was expecting those purple bamboos to break off with a loud sound .
Unexpectedly, those seemingly delicate bamboos stayed in situ with no trace of any cut .
The Great Yellow Immortal was stupefied .
“Don’t use the brutal force . Try the Spiritual Energy . ”

Actually, there were more alchemists in the Sect than warriors whose cultivation power could merely be relied upon to strengthen the body .
Hearing their Master’s words, some alchemists with a stronger cultivation base stepped forward .
“Whoosh . . . ”
Instantly, several fluctuating streams of Spiritual Energy were gathered in the air . They moved like a hurricane and were about to engulf the forest .
To everyone’s surprise, the Spiritual Energy hadn’t reached the forest yet when the bamboos with wide spreading branches and luxuriant foliage started to move in a strange manner .
The purple leaves were rustling and the bamboo poles bent like the bowstrings pulled back to shoot arrows .
With a whoosh, the streams of Spiritual Energy were bounced back by the bamboos in the blink of an eye .
Some followers standing not afar were not able to dodge the hit in time, thus being hurt badly . The unluckiest ones were killed right on the spot .
Just a short while before, the Great Yellow Immortal was beaming with joy when finding the Qiankun Zijin Bamboos . Now, however, his face instantly darkened .
Only then did Ye Lingyue realize that Bo Qing might have a similar experience that night . So his words really made sense .
Endless trials ended up in vain .
The Great Yellow Immortal was at a total loss .

If the situation went on like this, the Great Yellow Immortal could not even cut down these bamboos when dawn broke . Then Ye Lingyue and her companions would have no chance to snatch away the precious bamboos .
Suddenly Ye Lingyue remembered that Long Baobao had told her that the Long Family had the Qiankun Zijin Bamboo . The Long Family was a well-known weapon-maker and its members surely knew more than others about the collection of such treasures .
Bo Qing noticed the facial expression of Long Baobao . The boy always detested the Great Yellow Immortal . Now he was taking great delight in watching these men’s predicament .
‘The lustful old man is always leering at Sister Black . Just let the bamboos give the annoying guy a good beating!’
“Little boy, do you know about how to cut those bamboos?” Despite his reluctance, Bo Qing asked finally .
“Pretty brother, I’m only 7 years old this year . ” Long Baobao beat about the bush and glanced at Bo Qing .
His implication was that Bo Qing, as an adult, should not have asked a 7-year-old boy .
“ . . . ”
The blue veins stood out on Bo Qing’s forehead .
“Little Longbao, if you know about the way, just tell us, please . ” Ye Lingyue was amused by the boy’s reaction .
The two of them could not stay at peace for a moment .
Long Baobao took a look at Ye Lingyue and curled his lips .
“I will tell Sister Black only . Don’t eavesdrop on us . ”
