There grows a thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum there, possessing the power to bring the dead back to life. I need you to go to Penglai Immortal Island and obtain the Dragon Bamboo.
"This..." Xiao Feng hesitated, "I've only heard of Penglai Immortal Island, how can I find it?"
The Sea God smiled slightly: "Don't worry, I will grant you the ability to find Penglai Island. As long as you agree to help me complete this task, I will immediately heal your eyes and bestow upon you special powers."
Xiao Feng pondered for a moment, then finally made up his mind: "Alright, I promise you."
As soon as he finished speaking, a beam of blue light shot out from the Sea God's hand, enveloping Xiao Feng's entire body.
Xiao Feng felt a cool sensation rush into his eyes, and then the world before him gradually became clear.
"I have healed your eyes and given you the ability to breathe underwater."
Poseidon said, "Now, you may begin your mission."
"Thank you, senior." Xiao Feng bowed and expressed his gratitude, but his face could not hide his confidence: "A mere trip to Penglai is nothing more than a piece of cake for me. I will certainly live up to your expectations."
Xiao Feng turned to look at Wu Wu beside him.
"Let's go, Wuwu," Xiao Feng said softly. "We're going to Penglai."
Wuwu nodded gently.
The two traveled swiftly and soon arrived at the edge of Penglai.
Looking out into the distance, the sea surges and waves, a deep blue stretching to the horizon.
Just as Xiao Feng was about to go into the water, he suddenly heard a commotion.
"Halt! Who are you?"
Several strange creatures emerged from the sea, their upper bodies humanoid, but their lower bodies shrimp tails and crab claws.
The leading shrimp soldier brandished his pincers and glared fiercely at Xiao Feng.
Xiao Feng raised an eyebrow: "We're here to find Long Zhu."
"Looking for Dragon Bamboo?" Crab General sneered, "Boy, do you even know what Dragon Bamboo is? It's a priceless treasure of Penglai, how dare a greenhorn like you lay a finger on it?"
"That's right!" the other shrimp soldiers and crab generals chimed in, "Get out of here, don't get in the way!"
Xiao Feng narrowed his eyes, his tone growing colder: "I'll say it again, get out of the way."
"Oh ho?" The shrimp soldier leader brandished his pincers: "Kid, who do you think you are? Daring to act tough in our Penglai?"
Before he finished speaking, Xiao Feng had already flashed in front of the shrimp soldier. He clenched his right fist, gathered spiritual power, and threw a punch.
"boom!"
Before the shrimp soldier could even scream, it was blasted far away by the punch, crashing into the sea and splashing up a huge spray of water.
The other shrimp soldiers and crab generals were stunned and retreated in fright.
Xiao Feng coldly surveyed the crowd: "Is there anyone else trying to stop me?"
The shrimp soldiers and crab generals looked at each other, then suddenly shouted in unison, "Sir, spare us! We'll leave right now!"
Xiao Feng glanced around at the soldiers and generals, but did not let them leave.
"You, go and bring me the person in charge of Beihai," he said in a commanding tone.
The shrimp soldiers and crab generals looked at each other, somewhat hesitant.
Xiao Feng snorted coldly: "What, do you want me to do it myself?"
"No, no, no, I'll go right away!"
A large crab said hurriedly, its huge pincers opening and closing rapidly, appearing very nervous.
"Yes, yes, we'll go right away!"
A shrimp soldier chimed in, its long antennae twitching incessantly.
The group of strange-looking sea creatures hurriedly left, some swimming, some crawling, creating a rather comical scene.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Feng couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle.
Before long, the shrimp soldiers and crab generals returned, escorting a figure.
It was a burly middle-aged man, covered in blue scales, with a pair of horns on his head and eyes as deep blue as the ocean.
This is the Lord of the North Sea.
Upon seeing Xiao Feng, the Sea Lord's eyes immediately flashed with anger.
"Boy, who are you? How dare you cause trouble in my Beihai!" he roared, his voice like waves crashing against rocks, deafening.
Xiao Feng remained unmoved, instead revealing a playful smile.
"Oh? So this is the master of Beihai? He seems to be nothing special."
Upon hearing this, the sea god's scales stood up, making him appear even more ferocious and terrifying.
"How dare you! Do you know who you're talking to?"
"Of course I know."
Xiao Feng said slowly, "However, now that all your lackeys listen to me, tell me, should I be presumptuous?"
Upon hearing this, the Sea Lord noticed that the shrimp soldiers and crab generals around him were all bowing their heads, not daring to look at him.
His expression instantly changed from anger to anxiety. "What...what did you do to them?"
Xiao Feng shrugged: "It's nothing, it just made them face reality. Now, let's talk about serious matters, Lord Sea Lord."
Xiao Feng's lips curled up slightly, and a sly glint flashed in his eyes.
He casually remarked, "Since Lord Sea Lord cares so much about these lowly minions, how about we make a deal?"
The Sea Lord frowned and asked, "What kind of deal?"
Xiao Feng said slowly, "It's very simple. How about you exchange a dragon bamboo for these shrimp soldiers and crab generals?"
"Dragon Bamboo?!" the Sea Lord exclaimed in surprise. "Do you know how precious Dragon Bamboo is? It's the most precious treasure of my North Sea!"
Xiao Feng shrugged, looking indifferent: "Then forget it. Anyway, I can use these small fry."
With that, he turned to leave.
"Wait!" the Sea Lord hurriedly called out, "Let's discuss this some more."
Xiao Feng turned around, a triumphant smile flashing in his eyes: "Alright, then Lord Sea Lord, what do you think we should do to change it?"
After a moment's thought, the sea owner said, "How about this, I'll exchange it for a hundred-year-old dragon bamboo seedling."
"A hundred years?" Xiao Feng curled his lip. "Too young, isn't he? He hasn't even grown all his teeth yet."
The Sea Lord chuckled at this remark: "You little rascal, you know how to joke. How about five hundred years?"
Xiao Feng shook his head: "Not enough, not enough, it needs to be at least a thousand years old."
"You're asking for the moon!" the Sea Lord said angrily. "There are only a handful of thousand-year-old dragon bamboos in the entire North Sea!"
Xiao Feng chuckled: "Then you decide what to do, sir. Or, I might as well take these shrimp soldiers and crab generals with me."
The Sea Lord looked at the shrimp soldiers and crab generals around him, then at Xiao Feng, and finally sighed helplessly: "So be it, a thousand-year-old dragon bamboo in exchange for these men of mine."
"Deal!" Xiao Feng's eyes lit up: "But Lord Sea Lord, you must keep your word. Don't try to trick me with a fake."
The Sea Lord snorted: "How could I, the dignified Lord of the North Sea, do such a thing? You're quite the bargainer, kid."
Xiao Feng chuckled: "Of course, I'm a professional!"
At this moment, the Sea Lord also glared at Xiao Feng.
In this way, Xiao Feng successfully exchanged a group of shrimp soldiers and crab generals for a thousand-year-old dragon bamboo.
