“Chen Xu, do you know about the Refining Wind Cliff?” Xiao Xiaodong looked at Chen Xu and asked.
Chen Xu nodded and said, “I know, it is said that one will see Soul Refining Water after crossing the Cliff, but it is not easy to cross the Refining Wind Cliff. Refining Wind Cliff requires too high physical quality of the cultivator. The Heavenly Haze Secret Realm has opened several times, but it seems that no one has been able to go through the Refining Wind Cliff to enter it and obtain the Soul Refining Water.”
Xiao Xiaodong said, puzzled, “Why? If the Heavenly Haze Secret Realm was really used by the ancient powers to train their disciples, why would they set such an impossible task?”
Chen Xu shook his head and said, “It’s just impossible for us. I heard that in the ancient times, there were cultivators who specialized in refining bodies and ascended with the art of body refining. There were also some cultivators who carried special bloodlines and were born with strong physiques.”
Xiao Xiaodong nodded and said, “Is that so? Then there is no other way?”
Chen Xu thought for a moment and said, “There might be some other way.”
“What can be done?” Xiao Xiaodong asked.
“The wind of the Refining Wind Cliff is a kind of green astral wind, this kind of wind is said to be able to tear through space, so ordinary magic treasures have little effect on it.”
“However, there is a kind of Green Vigorous Spirit Bamboo that can restrain this wind. There is such bamboo in this secret realm, however, because of its characteristics, it has long since been cut down and only seedlings are left that have limited use,” Chen Xu said.
“So the older it is, the better the effect of resisting this green astral wind?” Xiao Xiaodong asked.
Chen Xu nodded and said, “Yes. Why are you suddenly asking about this?”
“I heard that the two geniuses’ cultivators of the Heavenly God Sect were defeated successively, so I have become a little curious,” Xiao Xiaodong said.
Chen Xu nodded and said, “A thousand years ago, a cultivator of the Heavenly God Sect brought back the Green Vigorous Spirit Bamboo and later Heavenly God Sect had a bamboo forest of this bamboo. I heard that the highest level Green Vigorous Spirit Bamboo in this bamboo forest is twelve hundred years old, so these two should have magic treasure made from this Green Vigorous Spirit Bamboo in their hands, but if they returned empty handed, it seems that the level of this magic treasure was still not enough.”
Xiao Xiaodong, “…”
“If a thousand years old does not work, what about ten thousand years?” Xiao Xiaodong asked.
Chen Xu smiled and said, “The ten-thousand-year-old one would naturally work but where could ten thousand years old bamboo be found? Moreover, in the hands of these two geniuses of Heavenly God Sect, the magic weapon may not be made of the oldest spirit bamboo.”
“Grandpa said that with a magic weapon made from fifteen-hundred-year-old spirit bamboo, you may try to break though and if you have a three-thousand-year-old one, you should be safe and secure,” Chen Xu said.
“What if it’s ten thousand years old?” Xiao Xiaodong asked.
Chen Xu smiled and said, “There is no 10,000 years old. I heard that 10,000 year old Green Vigorous Spirit Bamboo can resist the restrictions, so even Nascent Soul cultivators would fight for it.”
Xiao Xiaodong nodded and said, “So that’s how it is!”
…………
“Green Vigorous Spirit Bamboo.” Xiao Jingting tugged his chin and said thoughtfully.
Xu Muan nodded and said, “Yes! That’s what your son said.”
“Then what are you waiting for? Hurry up and make these two cultivate,” Xiao Jingting said.
Xu Muan looked at Xiao Jingting and said, “It is said that this bamboo consumes spiritual power extremely fiercely, so I wonder how many spiritual Stones will be needed this time.”
Xiao Jingting clenched his fist and said, “Spirit stones are just external things, if they are gone, we just need to earn them again.”
Xu Muan nodded and said, “That’s right!”
Xiao Jingting rubbed his chin and said, “Hurry up and get some bamboo, we will do one more thing before entering the swamp.”
Xu Muan nodded and said, “Alright.”
Most of the cultivators had already entered the swamp one after another, which gradually gave Xiao Jingting a sense of urgency.
As soon as he got the Green Vigorous Spirit Bamboo, Xiao Jingting began to ripen it. To Xiao Jingting’s disappointment, not every bamboo could be ripened continuously so some bamboo withered after reaching more than a thousand years. Therefore, Xiao Jingting had to ripen a batch of Spiritual Bamboos and choose the ones with good quality from them to continue ripening.
In this way, the amount of spirit stones spent also increased greatly.
A month later, Xiao Jingting’s bamboo forest burned nearly two thousand medium-grade spiritual stones.
Xiao Xiaodong looked at Xu Muan and said, “Daddy, father doesn’t look too good!”
Xu Muan nodded and said, “Yes!’ A while ago, Xiao Jingting was still happy about becoming a local tycoon but now he rolled down to a poor state once again.
Xiao Xiaodong asked in confusion, “Why?”
Xu Muan smiled bitterly and said, “Probably because of the body pain.”
Xiao Xiaodong, “…”
In order to obtain the Soul Refining Water, he burned so much spirit stones at once. It was no wonder that Xiao Jingting’s face fell. After using more than two thousand spirit stones, four spirit bamboos finally reached two thousand five hundred years of age. However, it was still not enough and he wanted to ripen the spirit bamboos to three thousand years but in addition to the top-quality spirit stone, there were not many spirit stones left.
He hoped that this Soul Refining Water really had some effect, otherwise, it would not be worth it.
Xiao Xiaodong looked at Xu Muan and said, “Daddy, did you spend a lot?”
Xu Muan nodded and said, “Yes! It took a lot of money.”
Xiao Xiaodong smiled and said, “Father always says that those who can spend spirit stones should also be able to earn spirit stones and if spirit stones are spent, you just need to snatch them again.”
Xu Muan, “…”
