Stone Bead Space.
Ye Yuan stood before the Golden Bamboo, gazing at the mysterious and extraordinary stalk.
The Golden Bamboo's stem was straight and upright.
Like a dazzling pillar, it stood amid the sea within the space.
It exuded an air of nobility and solemnity.
Its color was not the gaudy yellow of ordinary gold.
Instead, it was a restrained, rich golden hue.
At a glance, it seemed like something refined and evolved through the passage of Years.
Its joints bore faint patterns, like ancient runes.
They seemed to contain some unknown power.
Its slender leaves were like finely carved ornaments.
They swayed gently with the movement of the seawater.
The edges of the golden leaves shimmered with light, dazzling to behold.
As he approached it, he could sense a unique aura.
It was a scent that blended freshness with elegance.
Even from afar, it looked like a work of art, making one unable to resist studying it closely.
If one stared at it for too long, it would create an illusion.
It seemed less like an ordinary plant and more like a sacred object containing miraculous power, one that inspired worship.
What was so different about the Golden Bamboo?
It was the golden bamboo leaves that fell from it.
They had always been the object of the sea crabs' scramble.
At first, Ye Yuan had thought those leaves were some kind of treasure.
But as time passed, after proving that the leaves were of no use to him at all,
Ye Yuan simply stopped bothering with this place.
He let the sea crabs fight over the fallen leaves.
He wanted to see
what changes would occur in the sea crabs after obtaining the leaves.
Several months passed as a result.
Yet sea crabs were still just sea crabs.
