it just looked like a club.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Down below, that giant panda saw it, and its eyes clearly lit up at the same time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, the massive bear stood upright, raised its forepaws toward Lei Jun in midair, itching to try as if it were a kid drawn to a treat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Too bad Lei Jun hovered high enough that, no matter how many times the big guy tried leaping up, he still couldn’t reach him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Well, besides fishing, I could probably add \"cat-fishing\" to my skillset...* Lei Jun weighed the Supreme Pure Golden Bamboo in his hand, deeply moved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was actually the first time he’d clearly felt that his handy short stick was, in fact, a bamboo shoot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as for that big fellow down there, its perception in this area was honestly quite sharp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had wandered all the way over here, swaying and wobbling the whole time?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, you’re my Fourth Rank Opportunity, huh?\" Lei Jun looked down at a Gungun who gazed up at him eagerly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In line with a moderately good lot, only by lingering at Yushan would he encounter this big guy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he left Yushan for somewhere else, the chance might slip away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The meaning behind this was probably not that the giant panda strictly came to Yushan for the location itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its real target was Lei Jun and the Supreme Pure Golden Bamboo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if Lei Jun went somewhere else, it wouldn’t be able to find him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only at Yushan could this panda keep searching around and finally track him down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Lei Jun entered Bashu, he hadn’t really flashed the Supreme Pure Golden Bamboo much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter how sensitive the panda was, it’d be almost impossible to track him all the way here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Lei Jun had hung around Yushan for way too long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only after lingering for so much time did he give the panda its chance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it were anywhere else, that big head wouldn’t have kept up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It could only seek out the spot with thicker Spiritual Energy – Yushan – and come circling around here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lei Jun glanced at the panda below, sure that this was truly a First Level fateful encounter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Honestly...this feels pretty damn good!*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lei Jun laughed, dropping down from midair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gungun let out a deep growl, almost cheering as it rushed toward him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Mana whirled invisibly around Lei Jun, causing the big guy to be unable to actually get close.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He smiled and watched as the giant Gungun tried again and again, swerving left and right, banging this way and that, trying its luck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Honestly, before coming to Bashu, Lei Jun had considered that if this world also had pandas, he wanted to drag one back with him to Dragon Tiger Mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after getting sidetracked by his own master’s dark past, that thought had slowly faded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Otherwise, bringing a panda back and crossing paths with Mo Bai face-to-face...would be all kinds of awkward.*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lei Jun had even seriously thought about what other Spirit Beast he could get from Bashu to use as a mount instead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn’t expected that this Gungun would just deliver itself straight to his doorstep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Well then, Master, I guess I’m just going to have to ask you for a little forgiveness this time.*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Just as you always taught me.*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*We people of cultivation should follow the Tao and let fate guide our actions.*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since destiny arranged it this way, he, the disciple, wasn’t about to be polite.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lei Jun smiled, holding out the Supreme Pure Golden Bamboo right to the giant Gungun’s face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gungun’s eyes sparkled as it hurried up close.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only to pounce and miss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lei Jun calmly stepped back a pace, watching Gungun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The big guy tried pouncing another two times, but each time Lei Jun dodged easily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lei Jun shook the Supreme Pure Golden Bamboo at Gungun a couple more times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time though, Gungun didn’t fall for it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The massive body plopped down again, sitting in a fat ball on the ground, blinking its eyes repeatedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lei Jun actually read a little distinctly human emotion off that round face,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lei Jun grinned silently, waving the Supreme Pure Golden Bamboo at Gungun a couple more times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Gungun spun around on the spot, twisting its head to one side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lei Jun didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because he could plainly see those lazy eyes rolling around, lively and sharp as ever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its plump face might have been turned away, but the eyes kept sneaking sidelong glances at Lei Jun, honestly looking slicker than most people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lei Jun pretended not to notice and edged closer, coming up next to the giant Gungun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as the Supreme Pure Golden Bamboo approached, Gungun, moving with unprecedented speed, spun around lightning-fast, swatting a paw at the bamboo shoot!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, it still came up empty-handed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bulky beast lost its balance, fell over on the ground, and rolled to the side, flattening two saplings as it went.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When it finally got up, its eyes blinked towards Lei Jun, and the expression on its chubby round face had turned into one of pure grievance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lei Jun chuckled and threw the Supreme Pure Golden Bamboo, letting it land right next to Gungun’s mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gungun was delighted, snatching it up immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But no matter how hard it tried, it couldn’t peel the dark bamboo shoot’s skin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The big guy got lazy and just tried to swallow it whole.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But golden light glimmered from the bamboo, and it jammed right in its mouth, too big to swallow or spit out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This Exotic Beast was also called Iron-Eating Beast, and its saliva could melt gold and dissolve iron.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But on the Supreme Pure Golden Bamboo, golden light flashed, spreading into a shield that blocked its drool mid-air, never letting it touch the actual bamboo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The radiance kept spreading, making the big mouth feel even more uncomfortable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching the giant beast caught between a rock and a hard place, Lei Jun finally strolled up and took back the Supreme Pure Golden Bamboo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gungun flipped over, lying back against the mountain rocks, staring at Lei Jun and the bamboo in his hand with lingering dread.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But those clever eyes just kept spinning, still clearly craving the thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This bamboo shoot, both my master and I have spent a long time refining. It’s a Magic Artifact, not just some ordinary Spiritual Object.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lei Jun smiled, \"With your current abilities, there’s no way you’re chewing through it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But don’t worry, back at Dragon Tiger Mountain, inside Supreme Pure Thunder Mansion Cave Heaven, there’s still an Immortal Bamboo Forest with plenty of Golden Bamboo not yet refined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not bamboo shoots, but probably good enough for you. So, what do you say, want to come back to Dragon Tiger Mountain with me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Lei Jun was pretty sure his face right now looked super amiable, full of kind charity, totally persuasive...*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Opposite him, the giant Gungun just blinked slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like it was seriously considering his offer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the intelligence it had now, it still didn’t know what it was supposed to do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when it finally made up its mind, all it did was stick right behind Lei Jun, wherever Lei Jun walked, Gungun followed suit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lei Jun laughed at that, reaching out to pat Gungun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Honestly, the feel was worse than he thought—its fur was pretty coarse and stiff.*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it was fine, with enough Spiritual Energy and some cleaning, he could probably fix it up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His goal was a Gungun with dense, silky-smooth fur.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this kind of size, it could serve as either a sofa or a carpet, no problem at all, just by lying around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lei Jun hopped right onto Gungun’s broad back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The big head swayed a bit, not too happy about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lei Jun didn’t use any force, just shook the Supreme Pure Golden Bamboo in his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gungun instantly got well-behaved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Lei Jun was having the time of his life riding on its back.*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Not bad at all, after coming to this world, he’d picked up another source of joy.*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lei Jun soon wasn’t laughing anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because he found out that his new companion, honestly had a bottomless appetite.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its mouth functioned like a black hole.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter how much it gobbled up along the way, it stayed permanently hungry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*My master was never this much of a glutton—oh shit, cut it out, I’m not about to keep thinking down that path...*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lei Jun couldn’t help himself, sitting on Gungun’s enormous back as they returned to his own house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To keep this lunkhead from demolishing the place and eating it too, Lei Jun hunted down some Yushan Temple disciples and asked them to prepare mountains of food.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Yushan disciples just stood there dumbstruck, but didn’t refuse and got busy helping out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lei Jun also gave them some Basic Spirit Talismans as extra payment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Spirit Talismans from the Dragon Tiger Mountain Celestial Master Mansion’s True Inheritance could sometimes act as hard currency in the cultivation world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They wouldn’t work as well for others as they would for disciples of the Talisman Sect, but at the right moment, they could yield some amazing effects.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Take the Golden Barrier Talisman, for example, always in high demand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With help from Yushan Temple, Lei Jun could finally keep his new companion’s never-ending appetite at bay.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After securing this living lottery, he still didn’t rush off the mountain and kept hanging around Yushan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He waited quietly for the dust to settle over at Mount Shu Sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The conflict had broken out violently, and kept dragging on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many days later, the civil strife within Mount Shu finally started to enter the wrap-up stage, showing signs of ending.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lei Jun also ran into Ji Chuan again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The guy looked haggard and anxious, obviously struggling to pull himself together for Lei Jun, the far-traveled guest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When they met again, though, Ji Chuan couldn’t even manage a greeting for Lei Jun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The top disciple from Mount Shu completely lost his composure, standing there in a daze, eyes locked wide as he stared at the massive shadow next to Lei Jun.\u003C\u002Fp>",1706,"2026-06-06T15:53:51.376Z",1,"novelbin.me","5f9284e00908ab9bd12d96c79d992a587dd131e13592f4747d539f49d9af6e14","cultivation-fortune-by-lots-chapter-161","cultivation-fortune-by-lots-chapter-159",801,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fcultivation-fortune-by-lots-cover.jpg"]
