Chapter 59: Sunrise in the Bamboo Sea

Sunrise in the Bamboo Sea

"Senior Brother Li, I don't know what the origin of this Nine-Infant Snake is? Why did it suddenly appear in the bamboo sea? This Green Jade Bright Hall has always been calm, at most demonic beasts of the early Foundation Establishment, how did a Nine-Infant monster snake suddenly appear?"

After a series of adventures, although no one died, two or three of the disciples of the Golden Wave Sect and Pinghai Sect were injured in the previous battle. If it weren't for Li Pingyan’s sword strike that injured the Nine-Infant Snake, causing it to get angry and chase, those cultivators would have become food in the monster snake’s mouth. At this time, the group went back to pick them up. The two were naturally very grateful to Li Pingyan. After a little dressing, everyone flew to the Golden Wave Sect together. Not only were their companions injured, but most of their protective magic treasures were activated and used, and they needed to go back to repair them. Even the Qiankun bags they carried, after decomposing the monster snake, couldn't hold more precious materials. It was time to go back to the market to reorganize, and then come here to explore.

Green Jade Bright Hall was the name of this bamboo sea. According to everyone, between the Golden Wave Sect and the Profound Heaven Sect, the mountains stretched for tens of thousands of miles, all of which were mountain ranges dominated by green jade bamboo. There were no mortals living there, only a few scattered sects, but the scale was not large, because this place seemed to be a bamboo sea, quiet and incomparable, but in fact, the bamboo leaves had not been cleaned since ancient times to the present, and invisibly formed a layer of green jade miasma on the ground. The ground seemed to be sprinkled with a thin layer of fallen leaves, but once stepped on, it was hard to say that it would sink into the swamp formed by the rotten bamboo leaves. If you want to get out, it won't be so easy.

"Such ground is the most popular for snakes, insects, rats, and ants, just like the big snake just now. If it walks on flat ground, its body is heavy, and wherever it goes, it is a deep snake track, but in this Green Jade Bright Hall, the bamboo leaves are blown by the wind and fall, and any traces are turned into nothing in the blink of an eye." Li Pingyan stood on the bamboo tip and pointed to the ground to Ruan Ci, "There are only two kinds of demonic beasts in this Green Jade Bright Hall. The first is the poisonous insects that can hide in the green jade miasma, and the other is the birds and beasts that can build nests on giant bamboo. In fact, most of them are birds. Only one kind of black and white flying bear is a beast. This bear is quite cute. Many female disciples of the Golden Wave Sect take it as a spiritual pet, but it is very rare and hard to find. We didn't meet it this time."

Ruan Ci said, "No wonder you rest on the bamboo tips. Compared to the green jade miasma on the ground, I think the demonic beasts in the air are easier to guard against."

Li Pingyan said, "Not bad. Most of those demonic birds live in the upper part of the giant bamboo, but not the treetops. Seeing that we have many people and great power, they won't take the initiative to invade. Besides, their diet is more fond of insects, and they are considered to be in peace with us. As for this Nine-Infant Snake—"

Although everyone also asked about the origin of the Nine-Infant Snake, it was not convenient to interpret it while flying. At this time, because of taking care of the wounded, they stopped to rest. Li Pingyan introduced the situation here to Ruan Ci first, and only then did he talk about the Nine-Infant Snake. He obviously valued Ruan Ci very much. Meng Lingyue and several Pinghai Sect junior brothers and sisters sat in one place, not speaking, leaning their heads on their knees, listening silently to Li Pingyan, "As for this Nine-Infant Snake, it is quite reluctant to say it is nine infants. According to the classics, the adult body should have nine heads, looking at the sky and the ground, can control the essence of water and fire, and is already an immortal body. As long as one head is left, the other eight heads can grow back. And each head has different powers. It is a Grotto-heaven level monster. This one we met today can only be considered a juvenile of the Nine-Infant Snake. Not only does it not have the ability of immortality, but among the three heads, only the one looking at the ground has fire lingering in the whistling, thinking that it already has some supernatural powers, so my first sword seriously injured the head looking at the ground."

"This kind of snake is born by sensing Qi when the Yin and Yang Qi of heaven and earth meet. There was a record in the sect that a senior saw a Nine-Infant Snake with Golden Core cultivation born near the Green Jade Bright Hall. That was tens of thousands of years ago. I think this Green Jade Bright Hall is naturally a place for snakes and insects to live, so occasionally Nine-Infant Snakes are born. This time we met it. Although it is dangerous, it is also our luck—the flesh and blood of this Nine-Infant Snake is a rare precious material. I think it can be sold for a good price in the market."

This Li Pingyan was handsome and extraordinary, and his actions were even more dashing and crisp. He was obviously the leader among a group of disciples. His words were concise and to the point. At this time, a few words made everyone happy. Although they had experienced many dangers, they were also a practice, and Ruan Ci and Li Pingyan were very generous. They didn't contribute much, but they could still share a lot, which was really very cost-effective.

"After all, the Jin Bo Sect is a local prominent family."

This group of cultivators did not all come from the same sect; it is feared that many joined up while traveling. The Jin Bo Sect and the Ping Hai Sect are both flourishing sects, but the Jin Bo Sect is a local sect, while the Ping Hai Sect is further away. There are also several disciples who are cultivators from grace sects. At this time, they chimed in, "If not for Senior Brother Li being here, where would we have learned the origins of this Nine-Infant Snake? I fear that in the panic, we would have lost our lives. This matter means we owe Senior Brother Li a favor. Henceforth, whatever orders Senior Brother has, we will go through fire and water, and would not refuse even if it meant death!"

Li Pingyan shook his head, "Killing this snake, Junior Martial Sister Ci contributed the most. According to my plan, although I could kill this snake in the end, it would take a lot of trouble. During this period, I am afraid that a few lives would be lost. Junior Martial Sister Ci ended the snake’s life with one sword. I am ashamed of being inferior."

He then asked Ruan Ci for advice, "Junior Martial Sister’s sword, not cutting off the snake monster’s head, but slashing at its upper body, is there any reason for this?"

In Ruan Ci’s view, this answer was extremely clear, but it was her first time talking to cultivators of other sects, so she pondered for a moment before answering, "I have a good sword given by my teacher, which can cut through the snake monster’s defense, so in the sensing, I felt that that place was the weakest point of the snake monster. On the contrary, the head had rich vitality. If I attacked that place, I would waste a lot of effort. This is because I took advantage of the magic treasure, and it is not as good as Senior Brother Li said."

She was also curious about how Li Pingyan originally planned to kill the snake monster. In Ruan Ci’s view, if this group of people was used well, they could kill this monster without too much cost, but she didn't know if her empty thoughts could be implemented, so she asked, "How did Senior Brother Li originally plan? First injure one head, and then strike to cut off the other two heads? Your sword intent is very refined and special, and can proliferate in this monster’s body, further confusing its mind. I think the more it is injured, the crazier it will be. Fighting like this for ten days and a half months, it can indeed be exhausted to death."

The two talked happily, and others couldn't even get a word in. Li Pingyan smiled, "Not bad, this is also a path. However, among us, there are quite a few junior brothers and sisters who have special abilities. It’s just that before this monster was injured, its spiritual sense was keen, cunning and suspicious, and it was not easy to fall into the trap. Just wait for it to be injured more seriously, adapt to local conditions, and set up a sword formation to lure it in. Little brother was given a sword formation map by his teacher. The sword intent is far better than my little micro-Dao practice. Once it enters the sword map, it will be difficult to go out again."

Ruan Ci nodded without speaking, secretly thinking, "No wonder, others are fine, but I see this Senior Brother Li’s actions, he should be a genius disciple of a prosperous sect, and this place is close to the Golden Wave Sect. If there is really danger, why is the Golden Wave Sect so quiet? It turns out he felt he was winning, and didn't ask for help from his elders."

In this way, Ruan Ci’s kindness of saving lives for this group of people was not so sufficient. Those En Sect disciples were also very sensible. Although they knew Ruan Ci’s background must be extraordinary, she came alone, and didn't even say her teacher’s name, obviously wanting to be a passerby. Therefore, although Ruan Ci had feelings for them, they still focused on flattering Li Pingyan, followed by Meng Lingyue. These two people’s cultivation was also a step higher than everyone else, and they seemed to be very familiar with each other. Meng Lingyue treated Li Pingyan as the main one everywhere, and Li Pingyan also lived without doubt.

Ruan Ci also had pills on her body, which could heal the injured cultivators, but she had no intention of standing out. Everyone rested a little and then set off. After a few hours, they landed to rest again. On one hand, it was to take care of the few injured cultivators, and on the other hand, it was because the sun was about to rise here. Most of the bird demonic beasts hunted during the day, so they had to avoid the few hours when the Qi was the most complicated, so as not to cause trouble again.

At the top of this giant bamboo, the bamboo branches stretched, the bamboo leaves were wide, and they were densely connected. The cultivators rested in places nearby. Meng Lingyue set up a small formation to hide their tracks, so as not to disturb the demonic beasts below. Ruan Ci chose a place with few people, sat down with her knees hugged, and looked at the dawn on the horizon. Not long after, the morning glow in the distance was beautiful. Although the sun had not yet risen, she could feel the Yin Qi in the night gradually steaming and retreating, and the Yang Qi was bubbling and about to come out. The transformation between this Yin and Yang Qi had great wonders. The cultivators all carefully studied it, and some people discussed the wonders of this Yin and Yang transformation in a low voice.

I don't know how long it took, the horizon was already half-bright, the morning glow was like the sea, dyeing the sky above the bamboo sea half-red and half-green. The Yin Qi steamed in the air, met with the Yang Qi on the horizon, and evolved countless strange-shaped demonic beast shadows in the momentum field above the bamboo sea. The various wonderful phases made the cultivators dazzled, and their minds gradually became intoxicated. I don't know how long it took, a clear cry came from the bamboo forest, like a sharp tool cutting through silk, and the momentum of Yin and Yang intertwined and lingered, and with this sound, it suddenly shattered. A golden pill jumped out, the Yang Qi on the horizon was flourishing, and in the giant bamboo sea, I don't know how many demonic birds flapped their wings to welcome it. For a time, the bird chirping and flapping sounds were flourishing in the forest. Occasionally, strange birds rushed out of the bamboo tips in the distance, made a turn in the air, and plunged into the bamboo sea again.

A group of people looked at the bamboo sea from above, and there were dense bamboo forests in all directions. Between this heaven and earth, it seemed that except for these dozen people, there were no people. Only the bird chirping accompanied, and the sound of flapping wings, let people know that under the bamboo sea, it was a feast of birds, and between this heaven and earth, it was full of vitality of living things. Everyone didn't feel like stopping the conversation, just immersed in this situation. Ruan Ci looked at the rising sun in a daze, and only then did she slightly hook her lips after a long time.

Meng Lingyue was sitting beside her, and didn't know when she had stood up and walked away, smiling, "Junior Martial Sister Ci seems to like this scenery very much."

Ruan Ci said, "I like this free and easy feeling."

Meng Lingyue handed a rolled bamboo leaf in her hand to Ruan Ci, saying, "I also like to watch the sunrise in this Green Jade Bright Hall. This is near the Golden Wave Sect, and it is the second place I like the most. —Junior Martial Sister, taste it. This is the tender leaves of the bamboo tip, the spiritual dew born by sensing the Qi of Yin and Yang of heaven and earth, it is very sweet and delicious."

Ruan Ci took the bamboo leaf in her hand, but didn't drink it. Meng Lingyue understood and smiled, "Junior Martial Sister, don't worry, I flew out to pick it. If those tender leaves are stepped on by people or beasts and contaminated with the breath of living things, they will no longer be pure and cannot condense this dew. It is the most pure. When we come to Green Jade Bright Hall to practice, we all like to pick this spiritual dew to drink."

Ruan Ci looked out, and sure enough, she saw everyone collecting spiritual dew above the bamboo sea. Only Li Pingyan didn't move. He also held a roll of bamboo leaves in his hand, and was handing it to several injured cultivators, talking to them. The way the bamboo leaves were rolled was exactly the same as the one Meng Lingyue gave her. She couldn't help but look at Meng Lingyue. Meng Lingyue smiled, "Those senior brothers have improved a lot after entering meditation just now. After taking the spiritual dew to adjust their breath for a while, they won't have to stop to rest so frequently later."

She was thoughtful and careful everywhere, probably the way a senior martial sister of the sect should be, at least she was a senior disciple of a lineage, so she would be so careful. Ruan Ci raised her head and drank the spiritual dew. It was indeed sweet and moisturizing, as if there was vitality gestating in it. She couldn't help nodding and smiling, "I do have some cleanliness, I think it was seen by Senior Martial Sister Meng."

Meng Lingyue covered her mouth and smiled, "I saw Junior Martial Sister look at her clothes first after killing the Nine-Infant Snake, so I already knew. Actually, this piece of clothing of yours is also a rare magic treasure, which is dust-free and will not be stained with dirty blood."

Ruan Ci said, "Is that so? I don't know. This was given to me by my husband. He didn't say it clearly, but no matter what, I will always cherish the things he gave me."

She looked young, but she didn't expect to have a husband. Meng Lingyue raised her eyebrows, a little surprised, and looked at Li Pingyan’s direction slightly. Li Pingyan acted as if he hadn't heard it, and was still talking to the injured people. Meng Lingyue seemed to have joy in her eyes, turned her head to meet Ruan Ci’s eyes, and couldn't help but feel a little shy, bit her lip and lowered her head, adjusted her breath for a while before saying, "Junior Martial Sister married so early—do you like your husband very much?"

Ruan Ci said, "It’s okay. He is quite interesting. It’s just that I am more annoyed with him now. I finally got out to walk around, but he didn't come to find me. Look at how hateful this person is."

A smile appeared on Meng Lingyue’s lips, smiling, "Junior Martial Sister says so, it shows that you like him very much."

She couldn't help but look at Li Pingyan again. Ruan Ci knew that Meng Lingyue had been misled, but didn't deny it. Her bright eyes looked around, taking in the movements of these two people. Her little mouth couldn't help but slightly pout. She felt that there were all kinds of people in the world, and going out to practice was really fun.

Speaking of *Chang’an Small Restaurant*, I finished it very quickly. This book basically has no plot, it’s just talking about food. I am still very happy to see the food description, and I have the idea of writing one myself.

Now I am watching *The First Yanei of the Great Song*. This one is Danmei. For me, there is one thing I don't like, which is that there are too many love scenes. I skipped them quickly. I feel everything else is very good!

Recently I am going down to the dungeon, I also feel that one chapter a day is a bit small, but there is no way, the manuscript now has 14 chapters, and 16 chapters have been consumed. I have to hurry up and write to 20 chapters of manuscript...
