Chapter 1405 - Chopped

Chapter 1405 Chopped
She followed him into a bamboo forest where he stopped and looked around.
She looked around and saw that it was just a forest of bamboo trees, she saw no spirit herb in sight. She couldn’t help but asked:
Senior Brother Chen, did you say we are picking herbs here?


That’s right, it’s here.
He nodded and revealed a smile.

But there are barely any weeds here, where are the spirit herbs?
In addition to the fallen bamboo leaves, there were only some scattered weeds, where would there be any spirit herbs?

Bamboo heart water! You go and collect it, hurry up!
He motioned with a wave of his hand. However, he himself had stooped down to look for something on the ground and then stared at the bamboo tree, it was extremely strange.
Bamboo heart water?
It suddenly occurred to her, of course, bamboo heart water could also be used in medicine. The bamboo in this forest was spirit bamboo too. However, it was quite tricky to obtain bamboo heart water.
In general, if you wanted to obtain bamboo heart water, one would chop the bamboo shoots to do so. You would also have to go early in the morning so that the bamboo heart water wouldn’t evaporate. Would chopping down the spirit bamboos cause a commotion and alert other people?
As she was thinking about this, she heard the bamboo leaves rustle and she was startled. When she turned back, she saw that Chen Dao had climbed up a bamboo shoot. She called out and asked:
Senior Brother Chen, do I chop down the bamboo shoots to get the bamboo heart water?


That’s right! Just chop it at the bottom section of the shoot. In general, the bottom of the bamboo shoot stores most bamboo heart water. If you just chop two or three bamboo shoots that should be enough bamboo heart water for me.

When she heard this, she sighed secretly. Sure enough, they were here to steal.
Left with no choice, she looked around and picked out the largest and straightest bamboo shoot. She took two steps back and aimed at the bamboo shoot second closest to her with her palms condensed with spiritual energy to chop it off.

Swish!

A crisp sound was heard as the sharp air blade swiftly and coldy flashed across. The largest and straightest bamboo shoot tilted to the side slightly. Upon seeing this, Feng Jiu stepped forward hurriedly to support the bamboo shoot and moved it to the side. She used the spiritual energy in her hand and inserted the bamboo shoot back into the ground.

Swoosh!

A swoosh sound was heard and the bamboo shoot was inserted back into the ground and it stood there upright. If it weren’t for the exposed bamboo shoot next to it, there would probably be no traces of the bamboo shoot being chopped.

Yes, that will do.

She nodded in satisfaction then squatted down next to it and withdrew a dagger. She used the dagger to scrape some soil up and covered the exposed bamboo joints. After she had stepped on the soil to compact it, she looked into the forest to select another bamboo shoot.
In total, she had chopped down three bamboo shoots using the same method and left no trace of her actions.
She put away the bamboo heart water she had collected and looked around. When she saw that Chen Dao was still searching within the bamboo, she walked over.

Senior Brother Chen, I have collected the bamboo heart water. Are we leaving now?


Huh? You’re done?
He glanced back at Feng Jiu then looked around. When he couldn’t see any chopped bamboo shoots, he asked:
You’ve not even chopped down any bamboo shoots, how can you collect bamboo heart water?


I have, I chopped three bamboo shoots. Look.
She smiled and showed him the bamboo heart water that she had collected.
Chen Dao looked at the three tubes full of bamboo heart water and asked in surprise:
Where are the bamboo shoots that you chopped down? Why can’t I see them?
