Fairy Ziling was delighted.
Originally, the condition she wanted to propose was to make them powerful Elders and offer them beautiful concubines for Dual Cultivation, but after careful consideration, it seemed neither of them was fond of beauty, so she directly abandoned that idea.
"I..." Han Li hesitated, asking, "Just as Senior Brother Li said, how can a section of Heavenly Thunder Bamboo be given to two people? Would one of them become a Guest Elder for nothing?"
"Don't mention the three hundred Spirit Stones offered annually; three hundred Spirit Stones are nothing to a Core Formation Cultivator."
Zi Ling nodded, "Senior Han is right, but since the two of you are Senior Brothers, you can discuss how to distribute the Heavenly Thunder Bamboo."
"However, if one person disagrees, then this transaction will be considered null, and we will find other Core Formation Seniors in the future."
"Zi Ling knows that the two of you are not very interested in beautiful concubines, but others might be."
"What a clever girl!" Li Feiyu praised in his heart, "Han Li, what will you choose?"
Heavenly Thunder Bamboo was undoubtedly the most suitable Material for Han Li's Lifebound Treasure.
The ten-thousand-year golden thunder bamboo was not only incredibly hard but also inherently possessed Divine Devilbane Lightning , making its attack power unparalleled and a bane to the Demonic Path and ghost Dao.
Han Li's eyes flickered for a moment, and after a long hesitation, a bitter smile appeared on his face, "Miss Zi Ling, you are forcing my hand!"
After a while, he said, "Then so be it!"
"The Heavenly Thunder Bamboo will be given to us, and we will distribute it ourselves!"
Li Feiyu smiled faintly, it seemed Han Li made this decision at the risk of me discovering his secret, could he be planning to confess?
That's probably not the case; perhaps he intends to avoid using the Heavenly Thunder Bamboo Magic Treasure in front of me as much as possible.
After the deal was struck, Li Feiyu, Han Li, and Qu Hun flew together towards the Immortal Cave.
"Senior Brother Li, what are your thoughts on this section of Heavenly Thunder Bamboo?"
"If it has roots, it can be attempted to Cultivate.
If you are confident, you can take it to Cultivate, and then, after new young bamboo are cultivated, hand them over to me.
Of course, there's a one-month time limit; if it doesn't work, give this section to me, and I will try to Cultivate it."
Han Li thought for a moment, "That's a good idea.
Are you confident, Senior Brother Li? Why don't you try cultivating it first."
Li Feiyu chuckled, a strange smile on his lips, with a hint of inexplicable meaning.
"No problem."
Han Li really wanted to see if Li Feiyu was truly confident in growing it and cultivating new young bamboo.
Li Feiyu returned to his Immortal Cave, his Divine Sense sweeping over it, Gu Mingyang was still diligently Cultivating.
He entered his stone room, and then the secret chamber within the stone room.
Here, in addition to rare Spiritual Plants everywhere, there was also a thirty-zhang giant tree, entirely crimson, with thick branches, and every mulberry leaf burning with a faint golden flame.
That's right, this was precisely the fire mulberry tree cultivated by Li Feiyu, which now had a ten-thousand-year lifespan.
Crimson Crow rested with closed eyes on the ten-thousand-year fire mulberry tree, flames emanating from its body, absorbing the special fire Spiritual Qi emitted by the fire mulberry tree.
The ten-thousand-year fire mulberry wood could generate powerful flames, and its heartwood was a Material for refining top-tier fire-element Magic Treasures.
Over time, the flames on the ten-thousand-year fire mulberry wood were gradually turning golden, but the speed was extremely slow; even if Li Feiyu increased its age, it wouldn't change.
He guessed it might be related to the power of the sun, requiring the absorption of vast amounts of solar essence over a long period.
A fire mulberry tree emitting golden flames has a name called Fusang Tree, and it is rumored that True Spirit Golden Crows like to perch on Fusang Trees.
Of course, True Spirits wouldn't even look at an Acquired Fusang Tree like this.
However, after Crimson Crow perched on the ten-thousand-year fire mulberry tree, the speed of its flame transformation increased, perhaps influenced by the True Spirit's Aura.
They complemented each other, and Crimson Crow's Cultivation speed also greatly increased, getting closer and closer to a level seven Demon Beast.
Seeing Li Feiyu return, Crimson Crow made "ya-ya" sounds to greet him, then continued to Cultivate.
Li Feiyu smiled and nodded, walked to the corner of the medicine garden's secret chamber, took out the Heavenly Thunder Bamboo, condensed a drop of ten-year longevity liquid with his finger, and dripped it onto the bamboo's surface.
Ten years of human longevity liquid could increase a Spiritual Plant's medicinal properties by a thousand years.
Just as rain falling on the surface of the Heavenly Thunder Bamboo would not be repelled, it would also not reject the longevity liquid.
After absorbing the longevity liquid, the Heavenly Thunder Bamboo visibly revitalized, not only did the dry bamboo come back to life, but even its roots grew wildly.
Fine white lightning arcs spontaneously appeared on its surface, seemingly very joyful.
Li Feiyu planted it, set up a small Spirit Gathering Array, attracting a large amount of Spiritual Qi, and then dripped another drop of ten-year longevity liquid.
Seeing the Heavenly Thunder Bamboo growing vigorously, he left.
Spiritual Plants need time to digest the absorbed longevity liquid, and Li Feiyu couldn't instantly catalyze it into a ten-thousand-year golden thunder bamboo, so he could only wait patiently.
Besides daily meditation and practicing the Great Development Art, Li Feiyu would check on the Heavenly Thunder Bamboo's condition and water it with longevity liquid.
As for the cultivation of spirit insects, with the level five Demon Beast Realm Soul Devouring Golden Cicada and Golden-backed Demonic Mantis overseeing them, the other spirit insects couldn't cause much trouble.
Li Feiyu entrusted the feeding task to Gu Mingyang.
Gu Mingyang had a jade token refined by Li Feiyu, which carried his Aura, so the spirit insects would not harm him.
However, with such a large number of spirit insects, Li Feiyu had to refine large batches of spirit-feeding pills periodically for them to consume.
After the Gold Devouring Bugs reached seventy thousand, their rate of mutual cannibalism significantly decreased, and the number of eggs laid also became fewer and fewer.
Li Feiyu knew that rainbow skirt grass's effect on them would become increasingly minimal.
Seven days later.
The golden thunder bamboo had fully grown, several feet tall, dripping with emerald green, and enveloped in a faint layer of colorful light.
Li Feiyu smiled faintly, flicked his finger, and a stream of spiritual power shot towards the Heavenly Thunder Bamboo.
A faint golden lightning arc appeared on the surface of the Heavenly Thunder Bamboo without warning.
As the lightning arc swept past, that spiritual power instantly shattered.
Subsequently, Li Feiyu condensed a green bolt of lightning in his hand.
The Yi Wood Azure Lightning landed on the Heavenly Thunder Bamboo, and a large amount of faint golden Divine Thunder erupted, crackling and popping, with an astonishing Aura.
Even Crimson Crow, resting on the fire mulberry tree in the distance, was startled awake, its eyes filled with solemnity and vigilance.
Most of the Yi Wood Azure Lightning was repelled by the Divine Devilbane Lightning , but Li Feiyu discovered that a small portion was assimilated and absorbed.
After absorbing the Yi Wood Azure Lightning, the Heavenly Thunder Bamboo swayed slightly, its leaves rustled, and the colorful light enveloping it flickered continuously.
"I originally just wanted to test its power, but I didn't expect such a pleasant surprise!"
"Yi Wood Azure Lightning is a wood-element lightning Divine Ability, and Heavenly Thunder Bamboo itself is a top-tier wood-element Spiritual Plant.
Perhaps Yi Wood Azure Lightning is truly useful for Spiritual Plants."
Li Feiyu tried it on other Spiritual Plants.
Perhaps the power was too strong, as several plants were struck dead.
Later, he reduced the power and found that an appropriate amount of Yi Wood Azure Lightning with suitable power indeed had the effect of promoting the growth of Spiritual Plants.
Li Feiyu continued to catalyze the Heavenly Thunder Bamboo.
The next day, a brand new young bamboo, an inch long and full of vitality, grew beside the first Heavenly Thunder Bamboo.
He continued to Cultivate it, then tried the Yi Wood Azure Lightning on the first golden thunder bamboo.
The golden thunder bamboo was hard and strong; even when Li Feiyu used the most powerful Yi Wood Azure Lightning Divine Ability, it could withstand it and assimilate a portion.
A few days later, the color of the Divine Devilbane Lightning erupted by the golden thunder bamboo changed slightly, developing towards a pure golden color.
The purer the gold, the stronger the power of the Divine Devilbane Lightning .
With this discovery, Li Feiyu was overjoyed and continued to Cultivate according to this method.
