Yue Jiuli didn't quite understand what they were saying, but she didn't care anymore. After all, the purpose of bringing Yue Jiuling here was to see the bamboo, so she directly let Yue Jiuling see the bamboo itself.
"It's right here. Its true form was buried very deep. You can tell at a glance that it's a very old bamboo. Otherwise, it wouldn't have had the chance to become a spirit. It was just unlucky that I stole its cultivation."
Yue Jiuli pointed to a bamboo stalk that had been cut into a short, narrow section about the size of a bowl and said.
Yue Jiuling frowned when she saw the bamboo, because she couldn't sense any spiritual energy on it at all. However, after she placed her hand on the bamboo, she felt a very subtle fluctuation of spiritual energy.
"Tsk~ It is indeed a bit troublesome. This can only be raised slowly. By the way, didn't you cut off a part of it?"
"Yes, I stored a lot of spiritual energy in that part because if I wanted to leave the bamboo forest, I would have to take some bamboo with me. So I cut off a section of bamboo. But it's good that I cut it off completely, leaving no trace on the ground. Otherwise, the big bugs that came before would definitely have found it."
When Yue Jiuli mentioned that giant insect, she started to get a headache. She said, "By the way, a formidable enemy has recently appeared in our bamboo forest. Even though I set up a barrier, it can still squeeze in and damage the bamboo forest without alerting me. Isn't that too strange?"
"Even if you set up a barrier, it can still get in?"
Yue Jiuling was slightly surprised when she heard about this. She squatted down and touched the ground with her hand, saying, "There was indeed a monster that came in here, and its spiritual power was not low, but," Yue Jiuling frowned as she touched the ground, and said with some doubt, "Why do I have a very familiar feeling?"
"Familiar?" Ya Zi, who was listening to Yue Jiu Ling's words, also squatted down and touched the soil. However, as soon as his hand touched the ground, his expression changed. He looked strange and said, "Jiu Ling, I suddenly have a guess."
"What a coincidence, I actually had the same guess!"
After hearing Ya Zi's words, Yue Jiu Ling responded with a smile.
Looking at Yue Jiuling's eyes, Ya Zi seemed to have thought of something. He then stood up, blinked, and said, "Alright, I can give that bamboo some spiritual power, but my spiritual power will be quite domineering. I don't know if it can withstand it."
"It's okay, I'm here. I can help it."
Yue Jiuli had no idea what the two of them had found while touching the soil, but when she heard Ya Zi say that he could give her some spiritual bamboo, she happily said, "Our own spiritual power is not suitable for use here, yours is just right."
Yue Jiuling also stood up from the ground. She looked at the bamboo around her and then said, "Jiuli, I guess I know why your barrier stopped working."
"Why?"
Yue Jiuli actually felt that the barrier she created wasn't low-level, but she still couldn't understand why it was broken, so she asked, "Tell me, I think I did a pretty good job~"
"That's because you used the wrong method from the beginning. You shouldn't have used the power of bamboo, nor should you have created a barrier."
"Huh? You mean?"
Listening to Yue Jiuling's words, Yue Jiuli seemed to have guessed something. She frowned and said, "Could it be that it was just testing the waters at first, and only confirmed it later?"
"That's right, and you also guessed its cultivation level wrong. Compared to it, the bamboo's entire cultivation level is nothing but trash."
"Um, don't say that~"
After listening to Yue Jiuling's words, Yue Jiuli understood the reason. When the giant insect first came, it did not reveal its true cultivation level, nor was it completely certain whether there were spirit bamboos in the bamboo forest. It was just testing the waters.
However, on his second visit, he encountered a barrier created by Yue Jiuli using the power of bamboo. He then realized that there were spirit bamboos in the bamboo forest, and that his actual strength and cultivation were higher than that of the bamboos, so the barrier was naturally useless against him.
"Well, okay then. If he didn't find the spirit bamboo here last night, he'll definitely come back a third time. This time, we'll just wait for him here."
Having fully understood, Yue Jiuli looked at the piece of bamboo on the ground and said, "Don't worry, this time I'll stay here and not leave. I won't let him find you."
