Mortals ask the immortals

However, after listening to what Duan Qing said, Nan Ying did not show any embarrassment, but said lightly: "It's easy, just give the bamboo hat to me directly, why do you need to transplant it?"

Duan Qing smiled lightly, as if he had expected Nan Ying to say so.

"Haha, Master Nan Ying, can you understand thunder magic?"

"No." Nan Ying shook his head expressionlessly.

Sure enough!

Duan Qing smiled even more: "The growth environment of Tianlei Bamboo is harsh, Master Nan Ying does not understand thunder magic, even if I give the Void Hat to Master Nan Ying, Tianlei Bamboo will not grow in Master Nan Ying's hands."

Nan Ying raised her eyebrows: "It can't grow in my hands, but it can in your hands?"

Duan Qing did not speak, but turned over his right hand, and the palm of his hand flashed with thunder light in an instant, and then quickly calmed down.

Nan Ying's pupils shrank, obviously a little surprised.

"You also know thunder magic?"

Duan Qing nodded seriously: "Yes!"

"When I found the stump of this Tianlei bamboo, it had been nurtured for many years. After so many years of nurturing, it has regained its vitality, but it has not shown any trend of continuing to sprout. Lord Nanying, do you know why?"

Nanying thought about it and tried to say: "It must be that the original growth environment of this Tianlei bamboo can only maintain its vitality, but cannot provide conditions for continued growth."

"That's right."

"The Tianlei bamboo was born with the creation of heaven and earth, and grew in the thunder of heaven and earth. The name of Tianlei bamboo comes from this."

"Its original growth environment can provide it with the vitality and spiritual power necessary for survival, but there is no suitable environment for it to grow."

"Even the formation I set up is the same."

Nanying stared at Duan Qing and frowned: "You mean, if this Tianlei bamboo wants to grow, you need to nurture it with thunder magic?"

"Haha, Lord Nanying is wise." Duan Qing smiled and nodded.

In fact, regarding the growth of Tianlei Bamboo, he and Wuhuji also thought that only spiritual power and vitality were needed at first, but after a detailed discussion with Xiaozhu, they felt that things might not be that simple.

According to Xiaozhu, at least tens of thousands of years have passed since he was trapped on the top of Zixiao Jiuchong Bamboo.

If the growth of Tianlei Bamboo only required spiritual power and vitality, then Tianlei Bamboo should have sprouted again long ago after being nurtured in Xuansu Cave for at least tens of thousands of years, but the fact is that it did not.

Therefore, Duan Qing speculated that the growth of Tianlei Bamboo might require other conditions.

After discussing with Wuhuji, he and Wuhuji agreed that the key to the growth of Tianlei Bamboo was thunder.

Originally, according to Duan Qing's idea, he was going to let Tianlei Bamboo continue to nurture in the spirit gathering array of the virtual space for a period of time, and when the situation of Tianlei Bamboo became more stable, he would use thunder method to create a growth environment for Tianlei Bamboo and cultivate it.

This is also one of the reasons why Duan Qing was confident that Nanying would not take Tianlei Bamboo away.

There are very few people who practice thunder magic in the world. Even though Nan Ying is the captain of the patrol team, it is not easy to find a person who practices thunder magic to cultivate the Tianlei Bamboo for him.

The most important thing is that the person who practices thunder magic must be trustworthy by Nan Ying.

Sure enough, after getting Duan Qing's affirmation, Nan Ying's face suddenly became uncertain, staring at the burnt Tianlei Bamboo in the spirit gathering array, as if thinking about the truth of what Duan Qing said.

After watching for a long time, Nan Ying retracted his gaze and looked at Duan Qing again: "According to you, when can this Tianlei Bamboo grow again?"

Duan Qing pondered for a moment and shook his head and said: "I haven't started to cultivate it with thunder magic, so it is not certain at present. As for how long it will take, it depends on the specific effect after cultivation."

Hearing this, Nan Ying showed hesitation, and it was obvious that it was difficult to make a decision for a while.

After thinking it over again and again, Nan Ying seemed to have finally made up his mind and nodded gently: "Okay, let the Tianlei Bamboo stay here before it grows mature!"

"I'll make it clear in advance. If anything goes wrong with this thing in your hands, you'll have to pay with your life!"

Obviously, Nan Ying has already regarded the Tianlei Bamboo as her own, and it is only temporarily stored with Duan Qing.

Duan Qing nodded slightly: "Don't worry, Master Nan Ying, I will take good care of it."

Nan Ying nodded with satisfaction: "Well, help me take good care of the Tianlei Bamboo, and you will get the benefits."

"Tell me, what do you want?"

Duan Qing thought about it and stretched out three fingers.

"Three things, first, I need to accompany you all the time to cultivate the Tianlei Bamboo, I'm afraid I don't have extra time to complete the patrol team's mission. I hope I don't have to perform the mission before the Tianlei Bamboo is cultivated."

"Secondly, I want to be transferred to Xingyunjian in two years."

"Finally, I want half of the Tianlei Bamboo after the cultivation is completed."

I want half!

Nan Ying's face suddenly turned cold, and she looked at Duan Qing with sharp eyes.

"I can agree to the first two conditions, but the last one is impossible!"

"What I want is a complete Tianlei Bamboo!"

Duan Qing chuckled and said, "Haha, given the preciousness of Tianlei Bamboo, Lord Nan Ying would not think that it can be exchanged for two things that can be easily done!"

"The deployment of Xingyun Gorge is not something that I can decide." Nan Ying corrected.

Duan Qing shrugged: "Maybe, but even if this matter is difficult for Lord Nan Ying, it is not enough to exchange for my Tianlei Bamboo."

"What's more, I have to be responsible for helping Lord Nan Ying cultivate it, and I have to work hard."

Nan Ying thought about it and felt that it was indeed a bit unreasonable, so she compromised and said, "In addition to asking for half of the Tianlei Bamboo, you can propose other conditions."

"I only want half of the Tianlei Bamboo, otherwise this matter is off the table." Duan Qing said very firmly, as if there was no room for negotiation.

Nan Ying was silent for a long time, and finally relaxed, and said helplessly: "Okay, half is half, this matter is settled!"

As she said that, Nan Ying stretched out her white onion-like jade hand to Duan Qing: "Give me your talisman."

Duan Qing hesitated for a moment, but still handed his patrol team identity talisman to Nan Ying.

Nan Ying took the talisman, held it for a moment, and then handed it back.

"I have left a mark in it. From now on, you can actively contact me through this talisman."

"Every three days, remember to report to me on the cultivation of Tianlei Bamboo."

"Do you remember?"

"Yes, I remember!"

Nan Ying nodded slightly, without saying anything more, and teleported directly and left the virtual space.

Seeing Nan Ying disappear in front of him, Duan Qing sighed deeply, feeling a little annoyed.

It's true that plans can't keep up with changes!

Fortunately, he was fooled!

In the situation just now, Duan Qing was actually very clear in his heart. Apart from insisting on keeping some of the Tianlei Bamboo, no matter what other conditions he put forward to Nanying, Nanying would not be completely assured to hand over the Tianlei Bamboo to him.

Compared with the Tianlei Bamboo, any other treasures seemed to be eclipsed.

Even if he asked Nanying for millions of top-grade spirit stones or even more, Nanying would probably feel that he was perfunctory and did not really want to cultivate the Tianlei Bamboo.

Let me ask, who would be willing to give up a treasure of the level of Tianlei Bamboo.

Therefore, he could only and must insist on half of the Tianlei Bamboo.

Only by tying the interests of Tianlei Bamboo to himself, Nanying would dispel his doubts to the greatest extent and be more assured to let Tianlei Bamboo stay in the virtual space.

As long as the Tianlei Bamboo is still in his hands, there is a lot of room for improvement.
