Medicinal Immortal - Chapter 48

Listening to the crow’s words, Tang Ning smiled. “Enough with the guessing. Now tell me what this Ten Thousand Years Guanyin Bamboo can be used for?” As she was speaking, Tang Ning drew out the dagger at her waist, thinking to cut the bamboo.

When the crow saw Tang Ning using her dagger to cut the bamboo, it started flapping its wings and screamed, “Caw! Caw! How dumb can you be! How did I even think that you are an old demon?”

“Why are you so noisy? Do you want me to pluck your feathers?” Listening to the crow cawing by her ear, Tang Ning raised her head, impatiently glaring at the crow.

The crow, who originally wanted to say something, immediately became quiet after it heard Tang Ning’s threats. It flew to one side to look at Tang Ning as she tried to cut the root of the bamboo. The crow rolled its little black eyes and continued to silently look on.

“This bamboo is so tough! Why isn’t there even a scratch mark after sawing for so long?” Tang Ning thought, “Could it be that this dagger is too small to cut this bamboo?” Hence, she dragged over the large knife from not too far away and used it to chop the bamboo.

“Clang!”

“Eh?” The collision between the bamboo and the knife produced a metallic sound, even causing her hand to go numb from the shock waves. She went forward to check and realized that there was still not a single scratch on the bamboo.

“This bamboo can block knives and swords? It is indeed a good thing.” Tang Ning was feeling a subtle excitement in her heart. The more she couldn’t cut it, the more she wanted to extract the bamboo.

The crow looked for a long time and could no longer bear it and said, “The Ten Thousand Years Guanyin Bamboo is extremely hard, and even a superior-class sword won’t be able to chop it. How could you expect a scrap metal like this to be able to chop the bamboo?”

Listening to the crow’s words, Tang Ning glanced at it and smiled. “You knew that I won’t be able to chop it, but you chose to keep quiet about this?”

“It was you who told me not to talk.” The crow snorted lightly and raised its little head pridefully.

“Then tell me, how can I get this bamboo out?” Tang Ning threw away the big knife and asked the crow.

“Look at the number of bones in this place, these people also probably tried to obtain this Guanyin Bamboo before they died, though to no avail. However, I am different. I am the ancient divine solar bird, and my flame is the heavenly flame.”

“Okay, okay, I know that you are powerful. So, how can we get this bamboo?”

The crow glanced at Tang Ning and demanded, “When we get out of this bamboo forest, I want to eat meat.”

“No problem!” Tang Ning waved her hand and agreed without hesitation. Even she wanted to have some meat! The mention of meat made her hungry again.

Seeing her agree, the crow’s tone became livelier. It flapped its wings and said, “I want to have meat every day!”

“Okay!” Tang Ning responded. Then, the crow flew forward and said, “Quickly gather some of the heavenly flames, let’s see if a blade made of the heavenly flames could chop off this bamboo.”

After the crow’s reminder, Tang Ning recalled that its heavenly flames now existed in her body after the contract. Tang Ning swiftly gathered the flame in the shape of a blade and chopped the bamboo.

But at this moment, the bamboo turned into ashes, and the soil in the entire bamboo forest suddenly caved in. A cave suddenly appeared, devouring the entire bamboo forest into a whirlpool, like a large mouth. Before Tang Ning could react, she was also sucked in, and she disappeared.

“Ah…”

Tang Ning’s screams were still resounding in the air but were then quickly covered by the rumbling sound.

“Tang Tang!”

Blackie was shocked. It turned into a beam of light and entered Tang Ning’s body without any hesitation, disappearing together with Tang Ning in this piece of soil…
