Chapter 21: Seven-Foot Purple Bamboo, Special Purple Qi

"Found you!"

After a while, Lin Fan successfully found the area where the purple glow was emitted within the vast bamboo forest.

As far as the eye could see, it was a purple bamboo about seven feet tall.

It looked like it had just grown not long ago, covered by the tall bamboo forest around it. If it weren't for Lin Fan's eyes and divine sense searching simultaneously, he wouldn't have been able to see any clues.

"Break~"

Descending from the sky, Lin Fan waved his hand, and a surge of magic power swept out.

Crack—

Crack—

In an instant, bamboo stalks burst, shattered, and turned into powder.

A violent wind rose, bamboo chips flew, and the seven-foot purple bamboo stood tall, letting the storm blow without moving an inch.

"What a spirit bamboo!"

"What an innate spiritual root!"

Taking in this scene, the corners of Lin Fan's mouth rose, his eyes full of excitement and fanaticism.

An innate spiritual root!

This was a genuine innate spiritual root, and its grade was definitely not inferior to a superior innate spiritual root.

Because of this, Lin Fan was so excited he couldn't control himself.

A superior innate spiritual root.

That was something that could be refined into a superior innate spiritual treasure.

To put it bluntly, the value of this item would make even top-tier supernatural beings feel tempted.

Not to mention him, a mere Heavenly Immortal cultivator; this was simply a huge treasure.

If he could collect it and study artifact refining well in the future, wouldn't his own superior innate spiritual treasure be within reach?

Thinking of this, Lin Fan strode forward immediately.

Upon reaching the seven-foot purple bamboo, Lin Fan subconsciously reached out to investigate.

However, the seven-foot purple bamboo resisted.

It shook its body, purple light bloomed, and a sword qi quietly attacked Lin Fan.

"Not good!"

As the crisis arrived, Lin Fan's face changed drastically.

He could feel the energy carried by that sword qi was immense, at least not something he could contend with at his current stage.

Ignoring everything else, Lin Fan rolled to the side.

Slash—

The next second, the area where Lin Fan had been was directly cut by the purple sword qi, leaving a three-inch-wide but bottomless sword mark, and the bamboo within a hundred-meter radius shattered, broke, collapsed, and turned into powder at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"That was close~"

A drop of cold sweat slid down his forehead; Lin Fan felt a chill all over.

Just a little bit!

He was just a little bit away from being hit.

Judging by this power, if he had been hit, he would definitely have died.

For a moment, Lin Fan patted his chest in lingering fear, looking at the seven-foot purple bamboo with deep eyes: "What a superior innate spiritual root!"

"You almost killed me, but I won't let it go at that!"

"If you don't submit to me today, you will have no choice but to die!"

As he spoke, Lin Fan's mind moved, and he directly summoned the Copy Mirror.

Immediately after, Lin Fan's divine sense was injected into it, and the entire Copy Mirror transformed into a long sword at a speed visible to the naked eye, which he gripped tightly in his hand.

Holding the long sword, Lin Fan's Shangqing sword intent began to surge.

Even if it was only entry-level sword intent, the aura unique to the Shangqing lineage was still incredibly rich.

This caused the seven-foot purple bamboo to shake constantly, appearing somewhat flustered and seemingly afraid.

However, Lin Fan didn't care about this. At this moment, he was furious, raising the long sword in his hand toward the seven-foot purple bamboo: "I know you have spiritual intelligence!"

"After all, you are a superior innate spiritual root; it's impossible for you to have no wisdom at all!"

"Now I give you two choices: submit or die!"

At this moment, cold light flickered in Lin Fan's eyes.

Although this innate spiritual root was indeed valuable and had huge value for his future,

this guy almost killed him, so he wouldn't show any mercy.

Even though he was only at the Heavenly Immortal Realm, an innate spiritual root that hadn't transformed and had low intelligence was definitely not his match.

"Rustle~"

Sensing Lin Fan's killing intent, the seven-foot purple bamboo panicked.

It kept swaying its body, seemingly wanting to explain something or wanting to say something.

Unfortunately, Lin Fan didn't care about its actions at all, didn't even take them seriously, and his magic power was still being continuously injected into the sword body, while the killing intent contained within was gradually rising.

Finally, after persisting for five minutes, the seven-foot purple bamboo yielded.

It felt Lin Fan's killing intent and could see he wasn't joking.

Most importantly, as a product of Golden Turtle Island, it knew too well who the boss of this place was.

The Tongtian Sect Leader.

That was the master of Golden Turtle Island, the Saint Supreme.

And the aura emitted by Lin Fan in front of it was undoubtedly that of a disciple of the Tongtian Sect Leader, especially that pure Shangqing sword intent, which declared this person's extraordinariness.

Therefore, the seven-foot purple bamboo didn't think it could be his opponent, nor did it think that if it continued to persist, the other party wouldn't kill it.

Just as Lin Fan said.

How could a superior innate spiritual root have no wisdom?

Even if the wisdom wasn't high, in the face of life, it knew how to choose.

"Phew~"

"Very good!"

Seeing this, Lin Fan breathed a sigh of relief.

The seven-foot purple bamboo yielded; this was naturally the best news.

Although he hated to cut it into a thousand pieces, it was a superior innate spiritual root, something that could be refined into a superior innate spiritual treasure in the future, so he couldn't help but be tempted.

Especially with the seven-foot purple bamboo having independent wisdom, he could refine it into an existence like an artifact spirit in the future, which would be a huge help to him, even making it far exceed innate spiritual treasures of the same grade.

Thinking of this, Lin Fan strode forward.

Reaching out to touch the seven-foot purple bamboo again, he kept a guard up this time; if this guy suddenly attacked, he could dodge or even counterattack at the first moment.

However, the seven-foot purple bamboo clearly didn't dare to act recklessly again, its seven-foot body bending to show its submission.

The next second, Lin Fan's hand touched the seven-foot purple bamboo.

And at this moment, purple light erupted.

Lin Fan felt his whole body heat up, and then, the seven-foot purple bamboo began to melt at a speed visible to the naked eye, turning into purple gas that drilled into his body along his palm.

"What is this?"

"What happened?"

For a moment, Lin Fan was dumbfounded.

He never expected this seven-foot purple bamboo to pull such a trick.

But although he was caught off guard, he vaguely felt that all this seemed to be good for him.

Even as the endless purple qi was absorbed, Lin Fan could clearly feel his Extreme Yang attribute improving, and even his origin was undergoing a huge change.

Most importantly, he couldn't move at this moment; it seemed some force had imprisoned him, leaving him completely unable to resist! ===== CHAPTER 22 =====
