Mount Putuo in the South Sea, Miaoshan's Purple Bamboo Grove

Among the Hundred Lands Mountain Range, Mount Putuo.

This is the junction of the South Sea and the Hundred Lands Mountain Range, and it is also a strangely shaped peninsula.

It's like an enclave of the Hundred Lands Mountain Range.

Mount Putuo is only partially connected to the land, making it appear more like an isolated island.

If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, it would be hard to imagine how such a tiny "intersection" could so tightly connect this peninsula to the land.

The junction between Mount Putuo and Hundred Lands Mountain Range is so narrow that it can only accommodate a single Bronze Horse.

Similarly, the people living on Mount Putuo are not Mountain Folk, but rather a group of alien races who survived the "Wu Yi Shoots at Heaven" and the "South Sea Disaster". These alien races with very different lifestyles are able to live together entirely because of a goddess.

According to legend, this goddess had a thousand faces, a thousand eyes, and a thousand hands.

Unable to bear seeing the creatures of the South Sea struggling to survive, he established a Buddhist temple on Mount Putuo to take in those destitute and helpless foreigners.

Over time, a prosperity scene quite different from the rest of the South Sea emerged near Mount Putuo.

Even the Mountain Folk from the Hundred Lands Mountain Range often come to Mount Putuo, gradually opening up a trade chain for mutual exchange.

However, Fu Kui knew better than anyone else.

This so-called "trade chain" is actually a one-way aid from the local Mountain Folk to the foreign tribes of Mount Putuo.

After all, there's practically nothing on Mount Putuo in the South Sea that would appeal to the local Mountain Folk, so how could there be any talk of trade? But this can't go on."

"Mount Putuo must eventually become self-reliant; it cannot always depend on the support of the Mountain Folk."

Deep within the bamboo forest of Mount Putuo, Fu Kui, sitting cross-legged, spoke these words.

"That's why I planted these purple bamboos; once they've fully grown, they'll become a specialty of Mount Putuo."

Opposite Fu Kui, the true master of Mount Putuo, Miao Shan, replied in a Miaoshan voice.

That Miaoshan was not human.

It is not the thousand-faced, thousand-eyed, or thousand-armed figure as rumored by the outside world.

It was a three-faced, eight-armed deity, several meters tall, whose every move possessed an extraordinary Heavenly Deity.

This allure stems from her three distinct faces, from the aura that blends compassion, anger, and resentment.

The front features the face of a human woman, who is the true form of Miaoshan.

As a witch, Miaoshan didn't actually possess any particularly powerful abilities besides her passion and compassion. However, ever since Li Boyang used the [Heavenly Mandate Incantation Technique] to forcibly swap Miaoshan's fate with Buyan Huyu's...

Her life trajectory underwent a dramatic change, transforming her from a mortal into Heavenly Deity, and she eventually settled down on Mount Putuo in the South Sea.

To Miaoshan's left was a face with a resentful, bushy beard.

Chi was once the god of the South Sea, Buyan Huyu, who single-handedly stirred up chaos in the South Sea.

Even though she was sealed inside Miaoshan's body by Li Boyang.

Chi Yijiu was still unwilling to accept his fate and was single-mindedly determined to seize control of this body.

To Miaoshan's right was a face contorted with rage and rage.

Chi is the incarnation of Tian Wu after he lost control; his original form was a god of chaos with eight heads, eight tails, and eight legs.

Although this scourge had completely lost its self-awareness, its fiery and persistent rage still burned fiercely.

"Purple bamboo?"

Looking around at the purple bamboo, Fu Kui frowned slightly.

"Forgive my frankness, but I don't see anything special about these purple bamboos."

"Do you also want to create talisman rituals, just like those in Mountain Hollow Village and Talisman Bamboo Village?"

To be honest, Fu Kui didn't think it was a good idea.

The Mountain Folk are generally generous, but there are always some who are different.

Especially when Mount Putuo infringes upon his own interests, Fu Kui doesn't believe that the villages that planted the Talisman Bamboo will just stand by and watch. "Of course I'm not that stupid. What's the difference between stealing other people's livelihoods and courting death?"

With a remarkably human-like eye roll, Buyan Huyu, to Miaoshan Shan's left, suddenly let out a sneer.

However, before Buyan Huyu open his mouth to mock him, he was caught off guard.

Miaoshan Shan frowned and deprived the other person of the ability to speak.

Influenced by Buyan Huyu, Tian Wu on the right became increasingly angry, and faint flames spewed from its mouth, nose and seven orifices.

Fortunately Tian Wu was merely a malevolent spirit born of anger and had no intention of seizing control of the body, so it was not a cause for concern.

"Your situation seems to be getting worse lately?"

"Even with my help, the time you can completely suppress the Chi Men is getting shorter."

"What are you doing? What exactly happened to you?"

Now it was Fu Kui's turn to stare at Miaoshan with a furrowed brow, a strange sense of unease rising within him.

When the two first met, it was Miaoshan Buyan Huyu and Tian Wu, and Miao Shan was influenced by her and gradually fell into a state of madness.

But here's the problem: Li Boyang's [Heavenly Mandate Incantation Technique] isn't just a simple method of possession, but a complete exchange of destinies. Logically, Miaoshan should be able to adapt to her own power quickly and then completely assimilate Buyan Huyu and Tian Wu.

Such a situation of repeatedly getting out of control should never happen to Miaoshan.

"It's nothing, just a slight mishap during my cultivation."

Instead of directly answering Fu Kui's question, Miaoshan shifted the topic back to the purple bamboo.

"The purple bamboo I cultivate on Mount Putuo, while possessing similar properties to Talisman Bamboo, is more of a ' heavenly materials and earthly treasures.' Compared to Talisman Bamboo, which has fewer requirements regarding environment and weather..."

"This purple bamboo can only be grown on Mount Putuo; once transplanted, it will automatically deteriorate and decay."

After slightly rearranging her tone, Miaoshan continued.

"I plan to use ordinary purple bamboo as a substitute for Talisman Bamboo and sell it in bulk to the Mountain Folk..."

"In this way, although we lose the direct profits from making Talisman Seal Script, Mount Putuo will gradually become part of the Hundred Lands Mountain Range system in the process." As for those high-quality purple bamboo, I want to refine them into real Law Treasure and then sell them to cultivators.

The method of weapon crafting was also one of the topics Li Boyang taught.

However, because this craft has such a high barrier to entry and consumes so many materials, it is simply not something that ordinary Rogue Cultivator can afford to cultivate.

Miaoshan was planning to exploit this loophole.

Before most cultivators even possess Law Treasure, they preemptively seize this segment of the market.

As a result, even if Miaoshan can only produce a limited variety of Law Treasure, their quality is far inferior to that of Yinjiao.

However, Miaoshan was in business, and without connections with Yinjiao, it was impossible for an ordinary person to have him tailor-make a Law Treasure for them. After silently gazing at Miaoshan Shan for a long time, Fu Kui finally sighed helplessly.

"Just keep that in mind. Let me know in advance if you need any help."
