Chapter 153 Ling Yuzhu
This enormous iceberg stands in the center of a green, icy lake, appearing serene and distant, like a prehistoric behemoth resting in the water. Looking up, the towering iceberg resembles a sharp sword pointing to the sky, its ice layer as thick as a city wall, glittering and translucent under the sunlight.
Su Luo couldn't help but exclaim, "So beautiful!"
The other three nodded repeatedly.
They had seen all sorts of icebergs along the way, but this was the first time they had ever seen one so crystal clear and breathtakingly beautiful.
Just then, Zhu Zhu, who was sitting in Su Luo's arms, suddenly pointed to the iceberg with her paw and said, "Master, there's something delicious there!"
Su Luo chuckled, "What delicious food?"
Is this little guy behaving strangely because he's thinking about food on the iceberg?
"There are my favorite bamboo fruits on there! Seriously, those bamboo fruits are so delicious! They're crunchy and sweet!"
Oh, so it's because my pet wanted to eat bamboo...
Su Luo narrowed her eyes, then turned to tell the three of them what Zhu Zhu had said. Chu Wenqing was the first to agree, "Our Zhu Zhu wants to eat bamboo, of course we have to satisfy her! Absolutely!"
Ahhh!!! He can see pandas eating bamboo!!
Feng Xiyue and Song Qiao nodded repeatedly.
After all, it's Su Luo's spirit pet, and the little guy is so cute, they're definitely going to spoil him rotten!
Su Luo smiled and patted Zhu Zhu's fluffy little head. "Okay, let's go find some bamboo!"
Hearing this, Chu Wenqing's eyes lit up, and then he went up to Zhuzhu and tried to coax it, "Little Zhuzhu, if I help you cut more bamboo later, can I touch it properly?"
This little guy is cute as he is, but he's a bit too aloof. He won't let anyone touch him except Su Luo! Even if they try to tempt him with food, it won't work! Every time Chu Wenqing sees Su Luo happily rubbing the little dumpling, he gets so jealous that he bites his handkerchief.
Waaaaah~ He wants to pet the panda too!!
Normally, Zhu Zhu would never agree, since it only trusts its owner! But now…
Smelling the faint fragrance of bamboo in the air, Zhu Zhu couldn't help but swallow hard, feeling somewhat hesitant.
Before it was pulled up, that bamboo was incredibly powerful; even bamboo-eating beasts would occasionally get injured! If the owner's friend could really get it more bamboo, letting him touch it wouldn't be a bad idea...
Tempted by the delicious food, the little guy nodded, which made Chu Wenqing extremely happy, and he jumped up.
"Great!! I finally have a chance to touch a panda!! Hehehe~"
Not only was Chu Wenqing happy, but Feng Xiyue and Song Qiao were also delighted. The two of them looked at the iceberg with unwavering determination in their eyes.
Hehe, they also want to touch this little bundle of joy! Now that the opportunity is right in front of them, how can they let it slip by?!
As they hurried to the lake, they considered how to get closer to the iceberg.
Swimming across is impossible; the frozen lake is filled with countless ice floes, and anyone who goes in would likely never be able to climb back up. Flying on a sword is also out of the question; cultivators cannot fly in this secret realm, as they had already tried upon entering.
Fortunately, it's not entirely hopeless.
Su Luo took out a talisman, which immediately transformed into a small boat when placed on the lake. The group slowly approached the towering iceberg in the boat and then attempted to climb it.
"Ouch! It's so cold!"
As soon as Chu Wenqing's hand touched the ice, he instinctively pulled it back because of the cold.
It seemed that climbing with bare hands was not an option. Su Luo looked up at the towering iceberg and silently pondered whether she had any useful magical artifacts left.
At this moment, Song Qiao, who had been silent all along, hesitated before speaking: "I do have an idea..."
"what?!"
"real or fake?!"
The three of them suddenly looked straight at Song Qiao, startling the boy so much that he took a step back and almost fell into the lake, but luckily he was pulled back by the others.
Song Qiao's method was actually very simple: he first used the string of his zither to hook onto a solid block of ice on the iceberg, then pulled himself up by the string, and then pulled everyone else up as well.
This simple but effective method immediately won everyone's approval. Su Luo also praised Song Qiao's intelligence, making the boy's ears turn red.
In less than fifteen minutes, all four of them easily reached the top of the iceberg.
From below, the iceberg seemed enormous; once they were up there, it felt even more immense, with the edge almost invisible. It took them quite a while to finally find the bamboo that Zhu Zhu had mentioned.
At the southernmost edge of this glacier grows a large, dense bamboo forest. However, these bamboos are different from ordinary bamboos; each one is as white as jade, with a smooth and delicate body, and each bamboo leaf is as beautiful as high-grade mutton fat jade.
Chu Wenqing blurted out, "Wow! This bamboo is so beautiful! It's like it's made of jade!"
Feng Xiyue was completely stunned.
She had never seen such beautiful bamboo before! If she took this bamboo out and said it was jade, probably no one would doubt it!
Song Qiao was also captivated, his eyes glued to the screen.
Su Luo stared for a while before snapping out of her daze, then looked down at Zhu Zhu and asked, "Is this the bamboo you wanted to eat?"
"Yeah! That's it!"
The little guy nodded emphatically, overjoyed. "We bamboo-eating beasts love bamboo the most! Eating bamboo makes us grow faster and become stronger! My mother used to dig up a few stalks for me every now and then, but after she passed away, I never ate any again..."
As he spoke, the little boy slowly lowered his head, his eyes filled with longing for his deceased mother.
Seeing its dejected state, and hearing that the bamboo could help it grow and become stronger, Su Luo quickly rubbed its little head and comforted it, "Don't be sad. From now on, with your master here, you can eat as much as you want!"
Since her spirit pet likes to eat, as its owner, she should definitely indulge it!
When the time comes, she will bring back more bamboo roots to plant on the island. If the island's environment is not suitable for planting, she will use the formation to change part of the environment!
Zhu Zhu was very happy to be comforted by Su Luo, and forgot about being sad. She raised her fluffy little face to look at her, her eyes as pure and clear as a baby's.
"My master is so kind~"
It definitely didn't choose the wrong master! Its master is not only gentle and considerate, but also feeds it all kinds of delicious spiritual fruits, and now even provides it with bamboo! It loves its master!
Su Luo rubbed the little guy's head and said no more.
Just then, Song Qiao suddenly remembered, "This, this bamboo is Spirit Jade Bamboo!"
"Lingyuzhu?" Su Luo immediately looked over upon hearing the sound.
Chu Wenqing and Feng Xiyue also stared intently at Song Qiao.
"Hmm! This Spirit Jade Bamboo... is a rare spiritual plant that only grows in icy mountain areas. It is an extremely precious healing... spiritual plant! Its bamboo joints can be used to make healing artifacts, and its bamboo leaves contain extremely abundant spiritual energy. After consuming it, it can also help cultivators increase their spiritual power!"
Song Qiao became more and more excited as he spoke, until he couldn't even stand up for himself anymore.
After hearing this introduction, everyone's eyes lit up instantly.
This is good stuff again!! Anyway, the little guys only eat bamboo, so they can collect the remaining bamboo leaves and roots!
Thinking of this, Chu Wenqing rolled up his sleeves and charged forward, shouting, "What are we waiting for? Charge!"
"Junior brother, wait for us!" Feng Xiyue and Song Qiao followed closely behind.
Just as Su Luo was about to follow, Zhu Zhu suddenly remembered something and quickly reminded her, "By the way, Master, this bamboo is very powerful! You must be careful!"
"Oh?"
Upon hearing this, Su Luo immediately stopped and called out to Chu Wenqing and the other two who were approaching the bamboo forest, "Wait a minute!"
The three of them immediately stopped and looked over.
"what happened?"
