Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

Yellow Qi, and even wisp after wisp of Mysterious Yellow Qi.

Even if missed, there may still be a chance to find it again in the future.

But Xuanhuang Bamboo is such a supreme treasure; once missed, it would be very difficult to encounter again in this lifetime.

Even more rare is that this Xuanhuang Bamboo is fully one zhang tall.

You must know that Xuanhuang Bamboo grows extremely slowly, growing only one inch per century; a length of one zhang like this, calculating the years, starts at no less than ten thousand years.

It is truly an ancient spiritual material that has undergone the sedimentation of ages; one can imagine how precious it is.

But Xuanhuang Bamboo has a characteristic: it is extremely delicate and by no means can simply be chopped down and taken away.

It is naturally connected to Earth Qi, like a fish cannot leave water; if its root system is directly severed and it leaves the nourishment of Earth Qi, within no more than half an incense stick's time its spiritual energy will dissipate and its branches and stalks will wither, eventually turning into a pile of useless yellow earth.

Only by using Earth Qi to completely wrap it, warming and nourishing it at every moment, protecting the Xuanhuang spirit light of its root system and bamboo body, can it be successfully transplanted and made one's own.

Fortunately, this difficulty is a huge obstacle for others.

But for the female earth, who is an Earth Spirit Root Avatar, there is not the slightest difficulty.

She is originally transformed from an Earth Spirit Root and innately can control Earth Qi.

Mobilizing the surrounding Earth Qi and Xuanhuang Qi is as natural as breathing.

Immediately, the female earth collected her mind, and the pale yellow spiritual light around her body became even richer.

As the cultivation method "Great Earth Thick Soil Classic" was operated to the extreme, the surrounding Earth Qi, especially the Xuanhuang Qi, as if summoned, gathered from all sides.

Not long after, it transformed into a thick golden light shield, enveloping the entire Xuanhuang Bamboo.

The light shield was gentle yet condensed, carefully wrapping the bamboo body and bamboo leaves; even the roots buried deep underground were gently lifted by Earth Qi, not daring to suffer the slightest damage.

Next, the female earth moved her mind, activated her own spiritual root, and injected pure earth-system mana into the root system of the Xuanhuang Bamboo, her whole person gradually merging with the Xuanhuang Bamboo.

What she wanted to do was not a simple transplant, but to bind the Xuanhuang Bamboo with herself, making the Xuanhuang Bamboo a part of herself.

This way it could be nourished for a long time, and its power could be called upon at any time.

As the fusion proceeded, the Xuanhuang spirit light on the Xuanhuang Bamboo became ever more brilliant, endlessly pouring into the female earth's body, mutually nourishing and merging with her mana.

In an instant, the female earth's aura surged violently, her cultivation soared like a rocket, the Nascent Soul in her Qi Sea became ever more solid, and her mana became ever more pure.

In less than half an incense stick's time, the majestic aura broke through the shackles; her cultivation actually advanced from Nascent Soul Mid-Stage into Nascent Soul Late Stage.

The moment her aura stabilized, the female earth's eyes flashed with yellow radiance.

She knew the Xuanhuang Bamboo was powerful, but never expected that merely initial fusion would allow her to break through a small realm.

It can be seen that the foundation of this Ten-Thousand-Year Xuanhuang Bamboo is far deeper than imagined.

Xu Zhangqing, witnessing all this through Shared Vision, couldn't help but have his eyes brighten.

Fortunately, he had the female earth seek another path separately, otherwise they would have missed such a supreme treasure.

With the Xuanhuang Bamboo, not only could the female earth's cultivation be improved, but in the future the Xuanhuang Pagoda could also be refined.

The female earth spoke in a deep voice: "Qiansui, continue deeper."

The Xuanhuang spirit light lingered around her body, completely and perfectly fused with her.

The surrounding pressure and Earth Qi at this moment instead became power that nourished her.

Xu Qiansui nodded, and the two continued forward toward the depths of the Spiritual Vein.

The further down they went, the more abnormal the surrounding scenery became.

The Xuanhuang Qi in the air became ever richer, and the Earth Qi was so heavy it almost drowned people.

After walking for about an incense stick's time, some small bamboo shoots began to appear along the way, emitting pale yellow spiritual light all over; they were slender throughout, with a trace of Xuanhuang Qi at their tips.

This was precisely the predecessor of Xuanhuang Bamboo, Xuanhuang Bamboo Shoots.

These bamboo shoots were sparsely distributed in the crevices of the stone walls and on the ground; though not as precious as Xuanhuang Bamboo, they were still rare spiritual materials.

Going deeper, the scenery began to become strange.

On the ground, dense condensation points began to appear; these condensation points were formed from Earth Qi mixed with deep soil, condensed over thousands and tens of thousands of years.

Dark yellow throughout, hard as iron.

One next to another, crisscrossing, like a huge earth-yellow giant net firmly covering the entire depths of the Spiritual Vein.

Just at this time, the female earth suddenly stopped her steps, her expression slightly tightening.

Only to see that between those Earth Qi condensation points, faintly came slight movements.

Not long after, a group of pitch-black worms, the size of thumbs, were shuttling back and forth in the crevices of the condensation points.

Their whole bodies were covered with a hard shell, the shell emitting a Xuanhuang luster; they moved extremely fast, constantly gnawing on the surrounding Earth Qi with their mouths, occasionally biting the soil of the condensation points, emitting slight "click" sounds.

"Click!"

"Click!!"

"Click!!!"

A trace of realization flashed in the female earth's eyes; she recognized this kind of worm.

This worm is called "Xuan Huang Di Mai Teng," an extremely rare Spiritual Vein Strange Insect.

It is only born in places rich in Xuanhuang Qi, feeding on Earth Qi, Yellow Qi, and Xuanhuang Qi.

Its shell is extremely hard, comparable to a Magic Tool; even more rare is that they can purify Earth Qi.

If cultivated, whether used to assist cultivation or to explore Spiritual Veins, they are of great use.

The female earth knew that her main body Xu Zhangqing was a Spirit Insect Cultivator, who most loved collecting various rare Strange Insects.

Moreover, such a rare Xuan Huang Di Mai Teng, whether kept for Xu Zhangqing's own use in the future or used to gift to others and cultivate influence, is an excellent choice.

Therefore, without Xu Zhangqing needing to remind her deliberately, the female earth had already made up her mind.

Immediately, she moved her mind, the Xuanhuang Bamboo's spiritual light flashed, a strand of pure Mysterious Yellow Qi overflowed from the bamboo body, transformed into a wisp of mist, and drifted toward those Xuan Huang Di Mai Teng.

Xuan Huang Di Mai Teng originally feed on various earth qi; smelling this strand of pure Mysterious Yellow Qi, they instantly became restless, one after another abandoning their gnawing of ordinary earth qi and crawling toward the female earth's direction.

Their number was dense, like a black stream.

Seeing this, the female earth formed hand seals with both hands, a golden light barrier emerged, firmly trapping those rushing Xuan Huang Di Mai Teng, neither harming them nor letting them escape.

Just at this time, she suddenly perceived that among the Insect Swarm, there was a worm one time larger than an ordinary Xuan Huang Di Mai Teng.

Its whole body was dark gold, the patterns on its shell were more complex, and its movement speed was faster.

Even the aura emanating from its body was purer than that of an ordinary Di Mai Teng.

It can be seen that this is a mutated Xuan Huang Di Mai Teng.

A trace of surprise and joy flashed in the female earth's eyes; she hurriedly activated the power of the Xuanhuang Bamboo, a strand of even purer Mysterious Yellow Qi gathered and formed, lightly wrapping that mutated Di Mai Teng, carefully separating it from the other Di Mai Teng.

The value of this mutated Di Mai Teng far surpasses that of an ordinary Di Mai Teng.

If handed over to the main body, it will surely be useful in the future.

After capturing the Xuan Huang Di Mai Teng, the female earth put them into a Storage Bag for storing living things, then waved her hand at Xu Qiansui, signaling to continue advancing deeper into the Spiritual Vein.

A trace of gratification appeared in Xu Zhangqing's eyes: "One's own people are reliable!"
