Chapter 1278: Chapter 1275 Two Problems Chapter 1278: Chapter 1275 Two Problems “Elder, did you target Brother Yan because you wanted to cross this Weak Water?” Shen Luo asked calmly.
“To be honest, we did not intend to be enemies with Tianji City. We are here solely to obtain the treasure within the depths of the Mystical Cave. Earlier, our action was, in fact, an attempt to use Brother Yan's mechanism art to cross the Weak Water. Now that we are all blocked here, instead of fighting to the death, why not join hands to seek the treasure together? Wouldn't that be more wonderful? By capturing Brother Zhong and not killing him, you must also not want to completely break with us, right?” Demon Heart nodded noncommittally and said with a smile.
Shen Luo thought back to what Demon Heart had said when he first appeared to Master Yan. It seemed that there was indeed an intention to use Master Yan, rather than to act against Tianji City.
He glanced at Master Yan, who gave a slight nod, signaling for Shen Luo to make the decision.
“It goes without saying that with your noble origins and profound cultivation, we naturally do not wish to offend you. As for the proposal of joining forces, I have two doubts. If you can clarify them for me, we might be able to discuss further,” Shen Luo said after pondering for a moment.
“Please ask, Daoist friend,” Demon Heart said, his expression unchanging.
“My first question is, how does the elder plan to use mechanism arts to cross the Weak Water? Here we are unable to utilize mana and can only rely on boats. However, I believe any vessel put into the water would soon corrode and dissolve, right?” Shen Luo posed this question.
“Even if you had not asked, I would have explained shortly. It's true that this Weak Water can erode anything, but everything in this world has its counter. Not all things can be eroded by Weak Water. This Xuan Yin Bamboo is one such thing.” Demon Heart waved his sleeve, and a pile of green bamboo surrounded by Yin Qi appeared on the ground beside him.
Shen Luo looked at the bamboo on the ground with a slightly furrowed brow.
He had never heard of this bamboo before, and aside from the dense Yin Qi around them, the bamboo seemed unremarkable, which made him inwardly skeptical.
Noticing Shen Luo's expression, Demon Heart bent down, picked up a bamboo stick, and tossed it into the Weak Water.
The bamboo floated on the surface of the water, drifting with the current. A quarter of an hour passed, and it showed no signs of dissolving, remaining steadily afloat.
“It seems I was ignorant; this bamboo indeed resists the Weak Water. My second question is, you all seem quite familiar with this place. Could it be that you have been here before?” Shen Luo nodded and then asked.
Upon hearing this, Demon Heart did not immediately respond but instead looked toward Yuan Ming beside him.
“I will answer this question. My adoptive father had not been here before; his presence here today is at my invitation,” Yuan Ming stepped forward and said.
“Oh, has Sect Leader Yuan been here before?” Shen Luo's eyebrows twitched.
“I have not been to this place either. Our knowledge of this place all comes from our sect master. Hundreds of years ago, he had been here and learned about the nature of this Weak Water. After
