Longevity Immortal Fate: Begins with Dao Companion

The matter of the disciples of the Golden Talisman Sect is just a small episode, not a big deal for their overall exploration journey in the Sunset Demon Forest.

"Why is this bamboo forest so hard to find..." Li Pan'er looked around at the dense forest, her brows furrowed.

"Don't worry, when you're at your wits' end and think there's no way out, suddenly a village appears in the twilight."

Li Pan'er couldn't help but glance at Gu Changsheng a few more times. "I didn't expect you to be so knowledgeable. I thought you were just full of nonsense."

"What do you think? I am well-educated, it's just that my handsomeness overshadows it all," Gu Changsheng replied.

Li Pan'er rolled her eyes.

She understood that after becoming familiar with her, Gu Changsheng started showing his shameless side.

And she had no way to deal with this shamelessness.

"Unfortunately, this bamboo forest is really hard to find," Li Pan'er sighed.

At this moment, two paths appeared in front of them.

"Wait, let me think."

Gu Changsheng began to look around. Ahead of them was a valley, while on the right was a grassland and a lush forest.

"Let's go this way!" Gu Changsheng pointed to the right.

"Why go right? Shouldn't we go through the valley?"

"No, the right side is full of vegetation, which means the environment here is very suitable for plants. So the bamboo forest must be here on the right, not on the left," Gu Changsheng explained confidently.

Li Pan'er looked puzzled. "Is there such a saying?"

Gu Changsheng nodded. "Of course."

"Mastering mathematics, physics, and chemistry, fearlessly traveling the world!"

"What are mathematics, physics, and chemistry?"

"They are fields of study."

"Since you say so, I believe you. Let's go right!"

...

They quickly dashed through the dense forest.

"Little lord, it seems your judgment was wrong. There's still no bamboo forest here," Li Pan'er shook her head.

They had been wandering in the forest for almost an hour.

But they hadn't found a single bamboo, let alone a bamboo forest.

"In the midst of searching for him in a thousand ways, suddenly turning back, that person is there, in the dim light," Gu Changsheng suddenly recited a poem.

"What does it mean?"

Gu Changsheng pointed to a distant place, where a patch of green could be seen.

"Many times, when you think you can't find it, it doesn't hurt to turn back and take a look. Maybe it's waiting for you right there," he explained.

"Look, what's that?"

Li Pan'er followed Gu Changsheng's finger and saw a patch of green shadows.

"That, that is..." Li Pan'er's expression became excited.

Wasn't that the bamboo forest she had been longing for?!

"Little lord, you truly are my destined one!"

Overwhelmed with excitement, Li Pan'er hugged Gu Changsheng.

As the beauty embraced him, her soft touch brushed against his whole body, leaving Gu Changsheng a little stunned.

Before he could react, he saw the figure tiptoeing and leaning towards him, getting closer and closer until it pressed against his face.

"Smack!"

A faint sound was heard. Gu Changsheng felt a cool sensation on his face, soft and comfortable.

Soon, Li Pan'er let go and walked away, her expression calm as if nothing had happened.

But the saliva on his face proved that something had indeed happened just now.

"You—"

"Let's go!" Li Pan'er didn't give Gu Changsheng a chance to speak. She grabbed his hand and started running.

As the sun set, it cast a beautiful glow on Li Pan'er's slightly blushing face, making her even more charming.

She...

Was still shy.

...

The two of them ran all the way and arrived at the bamboo forest in just a few minutes.

The bamboo forest was extremely large, with tall and thick bamboo shoots piercing the ground like long swords.

A piece of bamboo leaf slowly fell, sharp and pointed.

The entire bamboo forest seemed very quiet, but the more silent it was, the more something felt off.

"What is your opportunity?" Gu Changsheng asked curiously.

Li Pan'er remained tight-lipped, not revealing anything about her opportunity throughout the journey.

"Bamboo sap."

"Bamboo sap?" Gu Changsheng was taken aback. "Is there something other than water inside the bamboo?"

"Based on my calculations, that is a special bamboo with some unique liquid inside. Although it is a first-grade resource, it can be considered a second-grade lower-tier resource. The bamboo sap contains extremely rich wood spirit roots, which is exactly what I need. Once I absorb what's inside, I can repair my foundation and break through to the ninth level of Qi Refining!"

"Isn't that still Qi Refining ninth level? There's still a long way to go before Foundation Building," Gu Changsheng said.

Li Pan'er smiled. "That involves another opportunity."

"Why do you have so many opportunities? Are you the chosen one?" Gu Changsheng was speechless.

This Li Pan'er truly had the luck of a protagonist.

There are opportunities everywhere, and you can even calculate them by sacrificing your lifespan!

"You are the one." Li Pan'er shook her head.

She may be considered a daughter of the world, but this kid is the true son of the world!

If Gu Changsheng hadn't been brought along on this trip, it wouldn't have been so smooth.

He is the biggest opportunity for her on this journey!

"How should we find the bamboo?" Gu Changsheng curiously asked.

There are at least thousands of bamboo here, it's impossible to see them all.

"It's simple." Li Pan'er smiled faintly.

She revealed her storage ring, and a wooden puppet, only a few inches in size, appeared. The material on its body was quite special, not simple at all. Moreover, the wooden puppet was holding a wooden sword that was several tens of centimeters long, which looked interesting.

[Wooden Puppet: First Rank Intermediate Grade

Introduction: After being infused with Entering Spirit Stone, the puppet can engage in simple combat and has considerable fighting power.]

Gu Changsheng was stunned.

This thing turned out to be a puppet—a puppet!

Talisman, elixirs, formations, and Law Weapons are all mainstream secondary professions for cultivators. Puppet masters, beast tamers, and others are considered niche secondary professions. However, even though they are niche, they are not simple.

Especially puppetry. If an impressive puppet is refined, it is equivalent to having a powerful servant!

Puppets will not betray their masters and have no flaws except for lacking intelligence.

Many weak geniuses from prominent families, in addition to having protectors, also have many powerful puppets.

"With it." Li Pan'er smiled faintly and inserted a low-grade spirit stone into the wooden puppet.

In an instant, a golden light seemed to radiate from its wooden eyes, and it started moving directly.

"Attack!"

Li Pan'er gave the command.

Swish!

The wooden puppet swung its wooden sword and fiercely attacked the bamboo forest.

Boom!

A bamboo fell to the ground.

While Gu Changsheng was stunned, Li Pan'er took out five more wooden puppets.

"One is not enough, fortunately, I am well-prepared." Li Pan'er smiled as she continuously inserted low-grade spirit stones into the bodies of the wooden puppets.

The wooden puppets started moving one after another.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Bamboo after bamboo fell to the ground.

The efficiency was quite high.

In just a few dozen seconds, dozens of bamboo had been cut down.

"Amazing." After a moment of silence, Gu Changsheng could only utter these two words.

"Ah, there's nothing I can do. In order to obtain opportunities, I can only sacrifice these bamboo. But they will grow back, and in a few months, there will be large bamboo again."

Boom!

Suddenly, a sound like metal colliding rang out.

Gu Changsheng and Li Pan'er exchanged glances, then quickly ran over.

Li Pan'er looked excited.

Soon, they arrived in front of that bamboo. It was green, but had a golden glow.

"Is this it?"

"It's this one!"

Li Pan'er looked excited and took out her long sword, directly slashing at the part with the golden glow.

Bang!

The bamboo was cut in half, and a drop of golden-green liquid was inside the bamboo joint.

"It's this!!"

[Golden Bamboo Liquid: First Rank Peak Grade

Introduction: One of the treasures of heaven and earth, it contains extremely rich wood elemental essence. After absorption, it has remarkable effects on wood elemental essence and can also repair one's own foundation. Although it is a first rank peak grade resource, its strength is not much different from a second rank low-grade resource.]

After examining it, Gu Changsheng had a rough understanding of it.

Li Pan'er's wood elemental essence, this is the best resource for her.

Suddenly, Gu Changsheng thought of something.

"Boss Li, why is your foundation damaged?" Gu Changsheng curiously asked.

Li Pan'er's expression stiffened.

"Senior brother, it's them!"

Suddenly, a sound came from a distance.

Several young people wearing special Daoist robes walked out of the bamboo forest.

In front of them was a young man with a fierce expression.

He had the cultivation of the ninth level of Qi Refining.

"It's you?" Gu Changsheng squinted his eyes when he saw these people.

He recognized them. They were disciples of the Golden Symbol Sect!
