Ye Mo calmed down and quickly waved his hand. âQian bei, donât try to scam me anymore. I canât even fall asleep due to owing you already and now you want me to owe you more.â
âOkay.â Lu Wuhu smiled and suddenly popped up to Ye Mo. âIf youâre worrying about that debt, then how about I ask you something? If you reply then you donât owe me anymore. How about it?â
âThat simple?â Ye Mo looked at Lu Wuhu in disbelief.
Lu Wuhu was a qian bei master, but from Jing Yingli, he knew that this guy didnât make losing deals. How could someone like him just ask one question?
Lu Wuhu said casually, âYeah, itâs that simple.â
âOkay, then ask, Iâll listen carefully. As long as I know, Iâll answer.â If he could pay Lu Wuhu back this easily he would rather owe him a few favors.
Lu Wuhu thought casually with a sigh, âItâs really hard to ask a casual question. Should I ask how old you are? Or...â
Ye Mo glared his eyes in disbelief, it couldnât be that simple of a question. He quickly said, âThen ask how old I am, Iâll tell you, I...â
Lu Wuhu suddenly stopped Ye Mo from talking and said, âI suddenly thought of a question, youâre a pill king so you must know a lot. I saw a herb at my friendâs place last time, it looks like a bamboo but my friend says itâs not. Iâll draw it to you, do you know it?â
Lu Wuhu took out a white blank paper and drew. A green bamboo plant appeared on the paper. Different than ordinary bamboo, the leaves were very big, many times bigger than ordinary bamboo leaves. The leaf shape was also crescent shaped. Also, the leaves started appearing at the root area.
Ye Mo immediately realized this was the Bitter Bamboo. This meant that Lu Wuhu knew he had the Bitter Bamboo.
But then Ye Mo thought, âthis is impossibleâ. If he knew that he had Bitter Bamboo, then he wouldnât need to act like that. Clearly he felt he didnât know the Bitter Bamboo, thatâs why he drew it. Plus, his Bitter Bamboo was in his Golden Page World. No matter how powerful Lu Wuhu, he wouldnât be able to reach his spirit sense into his Golden Page World.
But why did Lu Wuhu ask this question?
Seeing Ye Mo stare at it and not speak, Lu Wuhu asked worriedly, âDo you know this bamboo? Or have you seen it?â
Hearing this, Ye Mo realized that Lu Wuhu was sure he had seen the Bitter Bamboo and perhaps he had Bitter Bamboo chi on him. Thatâs why he wanted to know the location of the Bitter Bamboo through him.
The Bitter Bamboo wasnât just an extreme grade spirit item but also an utmost highest forgery material. It was no wonder that Lu Wuhu could feel the Bitter Bamboo chi.
Ye Mo looked at it for a while and shook his head. âI havenât seen this bamboo, itâs very strange. Itâs like bamboo but not really.â
âThatâs impossible, you mustâve seen it!â Lu Wuhu called out immediately.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Ye Mo shook his head again. âLu qian bei, although I havenât seen this bamboo but Iâve seen this bamboo leaf.â
âReally?â Lu Wuhu immediately rejoiced and looked at Ye Mo fervently, âTell me, where is it?â
Ye Mo realized that Lu Wuhu knew he had seen the Bitter Bamboo from the chi on him. Bitter Bamboo was too important to Ye Mo; even if Lu Wuhu tried to rob it from him, he wasnât going to give it.
But this Lu Wuhu really knew how to resist, and only asked now.
Ye Mo took out the Bitter Bamboo leaf he used for his divine damnation and said, âItâs on me, have a look.â
Lu Wuhu grabbed it and said very excitedly, âItâs really Bitter Bamboo leaf, it really is...â
He just felt there seemed to Bitter Bamboo chi on Ye Mo, but he wasnât too sure. He didnât expect it to be real.
He looked at the leaf again and again. His hands were shaking with excitement.
âWait.â Lu Wuhu suddenly said, âThereâs no way you can take off the Bitter Bamboo leaf unless it has a master. But, how is that possible?â
Lu Wuhu then studied Ye Mo from head to toe again. Ye Mo was shook, he must not let this old guy see something. He suddenly thought, was he able to dig out the Bitter Bamboo because it approved of him as master?
Ye Mo said, âI picked up this leaf from the Truth Fall Palace forbidden grounds. There was a big black mountain and it was covered with black lightning. Ordinary people canât go up at all. I just walked past the bottom of the mountain â it was still very far from the actual mountain â and I picked up the leaf there. I felt this leaf was very nice so I picked it up. Ever since then Iâve been cultivating while holding this leaf and it feels very good, so this is the Bitter Bamboo leaf?â
Lu Wuhu heard this and murmured, âItâs really in the Truth Fall Palace forbidden grounds, there really is World Mountain there, that means the Bitter Bamboo is also there...â
Lu Wuhu looked at Ye Mo and said, âItâs natural that you donât know this. This is an ancient thing, Although it has some benefits for your cultivation, itâs limited. The main purpose is for forgery. But then again, your luck is insane. You can even encounter the Bitter Bamboo leaf. Iâve been to the Truth Fall Palace a few times, how come I havenât met the Bitter Bamboo. Thirty years later...â
Ye Mo was speechless, this old guy dared to trick him by saying that the Bitter Bamboo had no use for cultivation. But clearly, this guy would find someone to go look for it thiry years later. Unfortunately, the bitter bamboo was already sitting in the Golden Page World. Even if he could get it, could he afford to raise it?
âUm, can I make a deal with you. This Bitter Bamboo leaf is a good forgery item and Iâm a forgery grand master, but about...â
Ye Mo looked at him in shock, âQian bei, youâre not trying to rob me of this cultivation magical artifact are you? Iâve already paid you back.â
Lu Wuhu felt a little awkward, he couldnât lower himself to rob it but he didnât want to give up the Bitter Bamboo leaf he just got.
âHow about I get you a spot for the Black Ice sect tournament. No, you donât need to compete, I will speak to the Infinity Sect sect leader and give that girl as your wife.â Lu Wuhu patted his chest.
Ye Mo wanted to laugh but he pretended his heart was aching. âSince itâs a forgery treasure, then Iâll give it to you...â
âThank you, thank you pill king Ye â no brother Ye! Weâre brothers from now on,â Lu Wuhu said happily as he took out a jade box about to place it in carefully.
âWait...â Ye Mo stopped Lu Wuhu. Seeing that Lu Wuhu was a little worried Ye Mo said, âAlthough Bitter Bamboo leaf is my best treasure, Iâm willing to give it to Lu qian bei...â
âNo just call me brother Lu. Who are we, donât be so distant.â Lu Wuhu quickly smiled.
Ye Mo thought, âI didnât see you being so intimate right at the startâ but he laughed and said, âIn that case â brother Lu.â
Lu Wuhu then put the Bitter Bamboo away and waved his hand. âThen we donât need to be so distant with each other.â
âBrother Lu, I have three things I need your help for,â Ye Mo said without hesitation.
âSay it, as long as brother can help I will do it for sure.â Lu Wuhu waved his hand.
âOkay, first I want you to forge a magic artifact for me,â Ye Mo said.
âNo worries.â
âSecond, if I have an opponent I canât beat, brother Lu can help me 20 times â uh 10 times is fine.â
âThatâs fine...â Lu Wuhu just wanted to answer, but he immediately looked at Ye Mo. âWait, I canât be your henchman.â
âOh...â Ye Mo didnât say anything.
âOkay, Iâll help you three times, and thereâre a few cultivation artifacts here, you can choose one.â He took out a stack of cultivation artifacts.
Ye Mo rejoiced and found a longsword there. He chose that longsword because it was the only top grade cultivation artifact.
âOkay, whatâs the last thing?â Lu Wuhu put them away and asked.
Ye Mo smiled, âI want to bring ten people here from North Far State.â
Lu Wuhu quickly waved his hand. âImpossible, even I canât do that. I can maybe do one, but ten is definitely impossible. The cost of the teleportation formation from North Far State is too high. Donât even think about it, change it to something else.â
Ye Mo also knew that was probably impossible so he said, âThen Iâll copy you brother Lu, you owe me one too. Iâll ask for it next time.â
