Chapter 1084 - The Uncontracted Golden Thearch Bamboo
Chapter 1084 The Uncontracted Golden Thearch Bamboo
When Lin Yuan entered the lobby of the Radiant Moon Palace, he saw the Moon Empress seated on the throne in the inner palace.
Xia Chen was bent over as he presented a white jade box that was about half a meter long. It seemed that he was presenting the Moon Empress with a gift. Gu Lang was holding a smaller brocade box with a shining golden pavilion embossed on it. He also seemed to be gifting it to the Moon Empress. The item in the box gleamed with a light green light. The color was so pure and outstanding it seemed fit to adorn a king. One look and one would feel that this light green could not be compared to any other green in the world.
The golden pavilion embossed on the brocade box was Langya Pavilion’s symbol. Hence, it should be a gift of gratitude from Wang Fuxiang.
The Moon Empress sensed Lin Yuan’s arrival and waved at him as she said, “Little Yuan, come and sit by me.”
Mystic Moon brought a seat that was slightly smaller but similar in appearance to the Moon Empress’ throne. Lin Yuan immediately walked up and greeted the Moon Empress before nodding at Mystic Moon. He gently sat down on the seat while Mystic Moon’s eyelids twitched.
Mystic Moon could not believe that the Moon Empress had not only prepared a replica of the Moonbeam Coronation Costume but also of her throne for Lin Yuan.
He felt that Lin Yuan had already become the sole apple of the Moon Empress’ eye.
Lin Yuan raised an eyebrow when he saw Gu Lang. They had exchanged contact information at the Guard Ye Banquet and started a faction together along with the others.
After chatting twice, the group had become much closer.
Although Lin Yuan had not known Gu Lang for long, nor had they met many times, they were definitely considered friends. The group had even chatted the night before, but Gu Lang had not said anything about coming to the Radiant Moon Palace today.
Gu Lang was not surprised to see Lin Yuan as it was normal for the Young Lord of the Radiant Mood Palace to be here.
Gu Lang had come to the Radiant Moon Palace after being informed by Xia Chen at the last minute.
If Gu Lang had known that he would be coming to the Radiant Moon Palace, he would have let Lin Yuan know in advance so that Lin Yuan would be able to make the introductions.
The Moon Empress smiled at Lin Yuan before she said to the slightly surprised Xia Chen, “I remember that the Bamboo Monarch’s Golden Thearch Bamboo only bore two shoots. I heard that he gave one of the shoots to his disciple many years ago. The thing in the box should be the other uncontracted Golden Thearch Bamboo sprout.
“The Golden Thearch Bamboo is in high demand for its ability to strengthen the soul. A sacred source lifeform needs to reach 4 Stars before it’s certain that the soul will not be injured by the Golden Thearch Bamboo during the contraction. I can’t believe the Bamboo Monarch is giving it to me instead of saving it for his descendants.”
Lin Yuan could not help but let his gaze linger on the Purple Golden Bamboo shoot.
The Purple Golden Bamboo shoot glistened with beautiful golden light that seemed to be reflecting off a lake at night.
Lin Yuan knew of the Golden Thearch Bamboo. In fact, even those from rising factions knew of the Bamboo Monarch’s signature fey.
The Golden Thearch Bamboo was not a combat-class fey, but a fey with the special ability to aid Creation Master abilities.
The Bamboo Monarch’s achievements were at least partially due to the Golden Thearch Bamboo.
A decade ago, Gu Lang had not reached the age to contract a sacred source lifeform, much less have a 4 Stars sacred source lifeform. Hence, the disciple that had received the Golden Thearch Bamboo had to be Xia Chen.
The other Golden Thearch Bamboo shoot should have been left to Gu Lang if not for the box of Possess Star Intelligent Dark Clouds pollen.
Gu Lang lifted his head and looked longingly at the box with the Golden Thearch Bamboo. He had been doing his best to increase his sacred source lifeform’s Stars, and his sacred source lifeform had reached 4 Stars before Zong Ze’s sacred source lifeform reached 3 Stars.
He had been motivated to do all so that the Bamboo Monarch would give him the Golden Thearch Bamboo.
However, Gu Lang did not object to the Bamboo Monarch choosing to give the Golden Thearch Bamboo to the Moon Empress.
As much as he longed to own the Golden Thearch Bamboo, he understood the gravity of the favor that the Purple Bamboo Forest owed to the Radiant Moon Palace.
As the Bamboo Monarch’s youngest disciple, he understood his Master well.
His Master would have been wrenched away from the one he loved without the box of Possess Star Intelligent Dark Clouds. His Master would eventually choose to give himself up to save Wang Fuxiang.
As such, it was not an exaggeration to say that the pollen had saved his Master’s life.
Even if Gu Lang was asked to give up his life as a show of gratitude, he would be willing to do so.
Still, no matter how much he understood the situation, he could not help but feel reluctant.
The loss of the Golden Thearch Bamboo had a great impact on Gu Lang.
Gu Lang would not be able to inherit the Creation Master abilities that hinged on the Golden Thearch Bamboo without this sprout.
This would make Gu Lang seem slightly unworthy to call himself the Bamboo Monarch’s disciple.
From now on, Gu Lang would need to forge out a road on his own to continue growing.
