Liang Yi carefully examined the green bamboo in front of him, its whole body a lush green and slender shape. The straight bamboo pole seemed to be encircled by a layer of radiance, radiating an astonishing life force.
Although it absorbed spiritual power from all around, in exchange, it invisibly released life force that nourished all things.
This strong life force nurtured the growth of all spiritual medicines within a thousand miles radius, not only accelerating their development but also subtly improving the quality of low-level spiritual medicines. Even players standing in the city would slowly regenerate their health due to its effect.
"This bamboo, I wonder if it has any bamboo shoots, I want to eat them, meow!" Mr. Orange had an odd focus, coming straight to a topic that was a blind spot for Liang Yi.
"Ah, this..." Liang Yi scratched his head, unsure of how to respond.
To divert Mr. Orange's attention, Liang Yi turned to Zhou Zuixi, who was admiring the bamboo with continuous praises.
"I remember this particular piece of Eight Desolate Spirit Realm Bamboo being somewhat special, right?"
As he knew, this was just a sapling transplanted here from the offspring of the main bamboo, the real body still at the Little Bamboo House headquarters.
In their previous lives, players had also seen other offsprings of the Eight Desolate Spirit Realm Bamboo. There were two bamboos in total. However, the other one, while also wonderful, lacked many functionalities and couldn't compare to the one in Medicine City.
But why this one in Medicine City had turned out like this, players didn't understand; could it have mutated?
"Have you seen other offspring of the Eight Desolate Spirit Realm Bamboo?" Zhou Zuixi curiously asked.
"No, I just feel that if an offspring is this powerful, the main Eight Desolate Spirit Realm Bamboo must be extremely strong," Liang Yi casually found an excuse.
"Then your feeling is quite accurate," Zhou Zuixi murmured. He knew about this from a casual chat with his father; he hadn't noticed anything unusual when he first saw this piece of offspring bamboo.
However, Zhou Zuixi didn't pay much attention to it and casually shared the inside story.
"This piece of offspring is enhanced by a joint effort from the Little Bamboo House, Medicine Valley, and Refining Sect. Just value-wise, it actually matches up to the main body."
"Enhanced by three parties?"
Hearing this answer from Zhou Zuixi, Liang Yi suddenly realized; no wonder this offspring was incredibly powerful, it turns out it was enhanced by a collaborative effort from three sectors.
Although this piece of Eight Desolate Spirit Realm Bamboo still hadn't broken through the acquired limits, it was still one of the top tier Acquired Magical Treasures.
If the main body was a Golden Level First-grade immortal plant, the normal offspring distributed would be of Fourth Grade orange level, but after the enhancements from three parties, it forcefully enhanced to Second Grade golden level.
"This move... this is an enhancement of +13!"
Looking at the towering bamboo in front of him, Liang Yi felt that it exuded an aura of luxury from top to bottom, truly a treasure nurturing life within a thousand miles.
"However, why is it now only the Little Bamboo House here? Didn't the other two demand anything?" Liang Yi looked at the bustling scene in front of him, filled with constant visitors like flowing rivers and flying horses, realizing that only Little Bamboo House and Wind God Commerce were the forces here, the other two not present.
"I remember back when the three families joined forces, each showcasing their strengths to forge this bamboo shoot and make it stronger, there was an agreement," Zhou Zuixi chatted as they walked.
"Little Bamboo House's condition was to set up shop here, given that the internal space could easily fit an entire city. Medicine Valley diverted eighty percent of the Life Force produced by the Eight Desolate Spirit Realm Bamboo to cultivate some extremely rare Spiritual Medicines, while the Forging Sect wanted to get a small portion of refining materials from the body of the Eight Desolate Spirit Realm Bamboo at fixed intervals."
"That really sounds like each took what they needed." Liang Yi nodded, making sense of the arrangement.
"As for the Wind God Commerce also being here, naturally, they paid a significant price, but this big dog merchant is so wealthy that he simply doesn't care.
Zhou Zuixi shrugged as he looked at the large bamboo gate adorned with the Wind God Commerce logo.
Although he is one of the City Lords of the four corners of the Immortal Dynasty of Xuanzhou, when it comes to wealth, he isn't even qualified to carry shoes for the Wind God Commerce. Zhou Zuixi even suspects that the president of the Commerce himself doesn't know exactly how wealthy it is.
"I remember that initially someone in our Xuanzhou Immortal Dynasty wanted to buy this Eight Desolate Spirit Realm Bamboo from these three powers, but unfortunately, they directly refused to sell. If you ask me, that's no surprise! Such high-level treasures can't be measured by mere money."
Zhou Zuixi recalled some moth-like civil servants proposing the idea, and he couldn't help but become infuriated. If it weren't for being in the court at that moment, he would have thrown a jar of wine at them long ago.
"Ha ha, those civil servants of yours are quite humorous, meow." Grandpa Orange laughed uncontrollably. They still thought about buying such a thing, what a joke!
"That's not humorous, that's stupidity," Zhou Zuixi smiled coldly.
The Immortal Dynasty of Xuanzhou has been powerful for countless years, but over time, with no external threats, the civil servants have become increasingly lax. Cultivators attached to the Immortal Dynasty, whether civil or military, have ways to increase their cultivation. The stronger the dynasty, the stronger the cultivators on this ship will become.
Although fighting is not the only path for military officers to advance, nowadays, civil cultivators in the peaceful Illusion Realm rise in rank much quicker. As a result, the status of civil officials starts to increase, and the status of military officers gradually decreases. This will inevitably lead to problems; the stupidity of once-strategizing for the dynasty civil officials was just a sign of what was to come.
But Zhou Zuixi was not overly worried, as his Emperor father had noticed this situation and he believed in his father's ability to resolve it.
If it can't be solved, then there's still his beloved brother, right? Anyway, Zhou Zuixi doesn't want to deal with such messed-up issues; who has the leisure and freedom he enjoys as Emperor now?
Following the crowd, the two men and a cat entered through a bamboo gate set up at the base of the bamboo. A flash of white light passed before their eyes, and they had already entered a lush green world.
This world appeared to be the interior of a building, only what's miraculous was that all these seemingly orderly buildings were made of bamboo.
And it wasn't built with bamboo; it seemed like the bamboo naturally grew in this form.
Medicine City also had ordinary civilians, but they were extremely few, ninety-nine percent were cultivators, and this was their favorite place.
Although cultivators constantly flew through the bamboo gate, the inside of the building didn't feel crowded at all. It seemed like it would feel crowded with a few more people, but such a sensation, like getting lost, never occurred.
The place to purchase Spiritual Medicines from Medicine Valley was established here, the largest branch of Little Bamboo House was also here, as was the Wind God Commerce naturally.
"Let's check out the latest intelligence first, then I'll accompany you to buy some wine," Liang Yi communicated with a look to Zhou Zuixi.
"No problem!" Zhou Zuixi grinned broadly.
