In the dense green and yellow bamboo forest, Lin Tianming looked around.
Large tracts of Qingling Bamboo grow in the cracks of the hard rocks, varying in height and thickness, some thick and some thin.
It is several feet tall, has a thick mouth, and has a green-yellow bamboo body with very few leaves. They are all hundreds of years old and can be used to practice weapons.
The shorter ones are less than half a foot tall, are green in color, and have thicker bamboo leaves. They are all about a hundred years old.
The growth cycle of Qingling Bamboo is relatively long. From finger-thick young shoots, which are white jade color, it gradually grows into blue for hundreds of years. The final color is green and yellow, which is the Qingling Bamboo of the full year.
Lin Tianming quickly shuttled through the sea of bamboos, carefully looking for the second-level Qingling Bamboo.
Half an hour had passed, and Lin Tianming had a pig liver-colored expression on his face. Half an hour later, among the tens of thousands of Qingling bamboos along the way, he couldn't find even a second-level Qingling bamboo.
The area is too large, and it is difficult to distinguish. There is not much difference between the second-order Qingling Bamboo and the 500-year-old Qingling Bamboo. If the mouth of the bowl is thick and the leaves are sparse, the only way to distinguish them is the second-order Qingling Bamboo. The color is golden yellow all over, while the ordinary one is bluish yellow, and the color is much lighter.
The entire Qingling Bamboo Forest covers an area of tens of miles. There are estimated to be hundreds of thousands of large and small Qingling Bamboos. It is indeed difficult to find only a hundred second-level Qingling Bamboo among them.
After resting for half an hour, Lin Tianming continued to search.
Time passed quickly, and another half hour passed.
Suddenly, among the dense bamboo spirits, a golden-yellow bamboo stood among a patch of five-hundred-year-old Qingling bamboo.
Lin Tianming was overjoyed and disappeared immediately, appearing next to the second-level Qingling Bamboo.
This Qingling Bamboo is several feet tall, as thick as the mouth of a bowl. It is golden in color and has a shining golden surface. It is undoubtedly the second-level Qingling Bamboo.
Lin Tianming carefully observed the growth environment of this Qingling Bamboo, hoping to figure out the growth factors of the second-level Qingling Bamboo, so as to find a shortcut to find the remaining nineteen Qingling Bamboo.
I saw this bamboo growing in the crevices of the rocks. Most of the surrounding areas are mature green bamboos that are more than 500 years old. It can be seen that the difference between this place and the ones at the bottom of the valley is not small. The higher you go up the rocks, the second level appears. the greater the possibility.
Lin Tianming initially judged that this should be the case. For subsequent searches, it is best to fly to high places to see where the leaves in the main bamboo forest are sparse. The taller the bamboo forest, the greater the possibility of a second order. Focus on looking for such small bamboo forests. Greatly improve efficiency.
After making up his mind, Lin Tianming took out the Qingfeng Sword and started chopping.
He swung three swords in succession and struck at the same position. Only a thumb-sized hole was cut in the golden Qingling Bamboo.
Lin Tianming was very surprised. He was a physical cultivator and had practiced the top-notch technique Tiangang Ba Tijue. His strength was many times stronger than that of a normal seventh-level Qi-refining monk. Yet he only made such a small hole. If he wanted to completely cut it off, it would probably take a long time. It takes some effort.
Lin Tianming used his technique with all his strength, and slashed out several swords one after another, and the wounds became bigger and bigger. Finally, after more than fifty slashes, the thick Qingling Bamboo fell down with the sound.
There was an explosion, and the several-foot-high Qingling Bamboo hit the ground heavily, creating a deep trench.
Lin Tianming lifted the Qing Ling Bamboo, but failed to lift it three times in a row. It was not until he used his spiritual power, exerted all his strength, and exploded with a thousand kilograms of strength in his hands, that he successfully lifted the Qing Ling Bamboo and put it into the storage bag.
After successfully putting away the Qingling Bamboo, Lin Tianming clapped his hands and sat on a stone nearby to rest, already out of breath.
Lin Tianming secretly thought that each second-level green spirit bamboo was estimated to weigh at least several thousand kilograms. It was made of hard material, had good toughness, and was extremely sharp. The refined spirit sword must be extraordinary.
After resting for half a quarter of an hour, Lin Tianming continued to set off and embarked on a journey to find the second-order Qingling Bamboo.
After a successful search, Lin Tianming no longer ran around in the bamboo sea, but flew over the entire bamboo sea, carefully identifying the dense areas of 500-year-old Qingling bamboo.
"Hey, the overall height of the 100-foot bamboo forest in front is relatively high, and the bamboo leaves are relatively sparse. Most of them are Qingling bamboos that are 500 years old. The probability of finding the second level should be high."
Lin Tianming quickly flew to the bamboo sea and searched carefully.
"Sure enough, there is a second-level Qing Ling Bamboo."
Lin Tianming was very happy. With this method, he believed that all twenty Qingling Bamboo plants would be found soon.
Two days passed quickly!
In the Qingling Bamboo Sea, Lin Tianming skillfully placed a second-level Qingling Bamboo, quickly lifted several thousand kilograms of bamboo, and put it into a storage bag.
"Finally, I cut down twenty second-level Qingling bamboos. I have been wielding the Qingfeng Sword non-stop for two days, and my arms are already sore and swollen."
If he hadn't been a physical practitioner, his cultivation would not be low. If he had cut down the trees when he was at the fifth level of Qi refining, he probably wouldn't have been able to cut down three trees in one day. Relying on the fact that he was not low, he was able to complete his goal in two days.
The quantity has been reached, Lin Tianming is very satisfied, and can't wait to take twenty second-level Qingling bamboos to find his fifteenth uncle to help him practice weapons.
Thinking that his weapons are a big shortcoming, he should refine a sufficient number of spirit swords as soon as possible. If the grades can all reach the first level of high-grade, his combat power will at least be doubled several times. Even if he is facing the ninth level of Qi Refining, he will be able to defeat all his enemies. And retreat.
After leaving the edge of the Bamboo Sea, Lin Tianming took out his token and fired his spell. A hole appeared in the light screen, and Lin Tianming stepped into it without hesitation.
In one breath, Lin Tianming came out successfully.
He took out a Qingfeng Sword, jumped on the sword, and left in the air.
Within half an hour, Lin Tianming found Lin Shixin in the family charity hall.
"Grandpa Ten, all twenty second-level Qingling Bamboo plants have been cut down. I'm here to return the token."
Lin Tianming respectfully handed over the token and Lin Shixin accepted it, then said goodbye and left.
In the family alchemy hall, Lin Tianming appeared in front of his grandfather Lin Shigong, who happened to be resting at this time.
"Grandson meets grandpa"
"Sit down"
Lin Tianming sat on the futon in front of him and explained his purpose of coming.
"Grandpa, I spent three thousand good deeds at one time and exchanged them for twenty second-level green spiritual bamboos from the Shanggong Hall. I planned to ask Grandpa Fifteen to help refine a batch of spiritual swords. However, I didn't leave a message mark with Grandpa Fifteen. Specially I’m here to ask for your help and ask Grandpa Fifteen if he can help with the refining.”
Lin Shigong was greatly shocked when he heard his grandson express his intention to come!
This little bastard is really a waste of money. He spends three thousand good deeds at will. The Xuanpin Kung Fu Huo Yuan Jue he practices cannot use so many spiritual swords at all, right? .
Lin Shixin was very puzzled that he was so prodigal, so he asked Lin Tianming why he used so many spiritual swords.
Lin Tianming hesitated and hesitated, but still did not disclose the Tianpin Kung Fu he practiced. He only mentioned that his Kung Fu was a sword formation type Kung Fu.
I repeatedly emphasized that Grandpa should not reveal it at will, otherwise it may cause trouble for the family!
Seeing that his grandson was so cautious, Lin Shixin stopped asking. Everyone would have some secrets that could not be discussed. Lin Tianming had always been very smart and steady. Since he didn't tell them, he had his own reasons.
He just said in a serious tone:
"Since it's not a trivial matter, remember not to reveal it to the world easily. Murders and treasure seizures happen all the time in the world of immortality. Remember, don't trust outsiders easily."
Lin Tianming agreed wholeheartedly, which made him feel relieved.
Knowing his grandson's intention, Lin Shixin immediately summoned Lin Shilu and asked if he could refine it on his behalf.
Half a quarter of an hour later, a flying bird transformed by spiritual energy came into Lin Shigong's hands. After Lin Shigong checked it, the spirit year disappeared.
"Your fifteenth grandfather agreed to help and asked you to go directly to the top of Qingzhu Peak. He and your third grandfather are both practicing at the highest place. You can just go to him directly."
Lin Tianming was overjoyed and prepared to say goodbye to Lin Shigong and go directly to Lin Shilu.
At this time, Lin Shigong took out 800 low-grade spirit stones and a bottle of second-grade spirit essence pills and gave them to Lin Tianming and asked them to be handed over to Lin Shilu as a reward for helping to practice weapons.
Lin Tianming didn't show any pretense, took the spirit stone and elixir, and went out.
