Fishing Rod In The Purple Heaven Bamboo

The Cat Emperor, Tian Xue, had indeed lived a long life and experienced many storms, more than Luo Shui could imagine.

"The Grandmaster has allowed you to bring porridge here, which is already a great stroke of luck for us. We should not think too much about it and instead focus on using the Grandmaster's help to seek revenge!" Tian Xue's voice grew serious. "The Grandmaster is incredibly wise and can discern everything with a single thought. By allowing you to bring porridge, the Grandmaster has shown his stance."

This attitude was clear; it stopped at providing assistance, and the rest depended on them.

"The Grandmaster keeping you by his side is an even clearer sign. The Grandmaster wants to ensure that your father can strive for the throne without any worries," Tian Xue exclaimed with emotion. "The Grandmaster truly lives up to his name; his wisdom is beyond our imagination! The Grandmaster knows that if your father cannot regain the throne by his own strength, he will always carry regret in his heart."

"But Father, going back like this, there's hardly any chance of success!" Luo Shui was still filled with worry.

"The Grandmaster has already foreseen everything!" Tian Xue smiled and said, "Would your father be so foolish? Everything happened so suddenly back then, and your father's friends couldn't come to his aid in time. Afterward, it was already a settled matter, and your father's friends were helpless; they had to give up."

Fighting by burning one's life essence was akin to risking one's life, and the hope of surviving was exceedingly slim.

"Your father's friends probably already think he's dead..."

"But it's different now..."

"When your father goes to see those friends, they will undoubtedly lend their full support. Your father's rightful throne will undoubtedly return!" All of his friends were close to him, and as soon as he appeared, they would undoubtedly assist him without hesitation.

"That's the brilliance of the Grandmaster!" Tian Xue continued to be filled with admiration. "The Grandmaster saved your father to show his compassion for our plight. By keeping you by his side, he expected that your father has a way to turn things around and can strive for the throne without any worries."

"I see!" Luo Shui hadn't considered all these factors before, but after her father's explanation, everything became clear. However, in reality, this was just Tian Xue's speculation. Li Jiudao didn't have so many thoughts; he simply pitied the little white cat, that was all.

Tian Xue solemnly cautioned Luo Shui, "When you are by the Grandmaster's side, you must think carefully and act wisely. Never act recklessly or violate the Grandmaster's taboos!"

"I understand, Father!" Luo Shui smiled sweetly.

After listening to Tian Xue's words, she felt reassured and unburdened.

"All right, Father has left, and now you should go back too." Tian Xue bid farewell to Luo Shui, and then his figure dissipated, leaving the area. Luo Shui also quickly returned to the Qing Shan City.

In Li Jiudao's small courtyard in Qing Shan City.

"Did she leave again?" Li Jiudao touched his nose. After delivering the medicine ingredients to Mrs. Wang next door, he couldn't find the little white cat anymore, and there was only one remaining food bowl out of the two.

"Little white cat is not a spirit beast, how could she understand what I said? She's probably used to wandering and doesn't want to be kept by anyone," Li Jiudao said, looking at the one remaining food bowl. "But this little white cat is not greedy; she took only one of the food bowls."

Meow!

Just then, Luo Shui returned, carrying a food bowl in her mouth.

Li Jiudao was pleasantly surprised; he quite liked this little white cat, and her return made him happy. He picked her up, stroking her smooth fur, and said, "Have you figured it out? Staying with me is the best choice. You won't have to endure the wind, sun, or anyone bullying you."

Meow.

Luo Shui called out, realizing that what her father had said was true. The Grandmaster was indeed protecting her, relieving her father's worries.

"All right, I'm in a good mood today. Let's go fishing, and all the fish we catch will be for you to eat!" Li Jiudao put down the little white cat, went into the house, and took out his fishing gear.

His fishing skill was also "Transcendent Mastery," and his fishing gear, like his bow and cooking utensils, was a reward from the system. The fishing gear was a fishing rod kept in a bamboo tube, which he slung over his shoulder. He also brought some bait, which he had made himself. It was very effective, and in normal fishing, he could catch a lot of fish in no time.

"Let's go, off we go!" He was in high spirits, carrying the fishing gear on his back, holding the bait in one hand, and cradling the little white cat in the other.

"What is this... purple heaven bamboo!" Luo Shui, in Li Jiudao's arms, was filled with shock as she recognized the bamboo tube.

The Purple Heaven Bamboo was rumored to grow outside the Thirty-Three Heavens, a divine plant with the incredible power to assist in cultivation and enlightenment. In the ancient era, the Master of Enlightenment, in his quest for a breakthrough, pierced through layer after layer of heaven to find the opportunity to become an emperor.

However, becoming an emperor was not solely about having enough power; it required a deep understanding of the highest principles.

This process was extremely difficult, and countless peerless experts spent their entire lives attempting to cross that half-step but ultimately perished on the path to becoming an emperor.

The Master of Enlightenment had touched upon the emperor realm, just a half-step away from achieving the emperor's throne. However, that seemingly small half-step took him seven thousand years to cross.

Finally, as his end approached, he pierced through layer after layer of heaven, seeking an opportunity beyond the Thirty-Three Heavens.

The outside world was extremely perilous, and even someone as powerful as the Master of Enlightenment almost lost his life.

However, he eventually broke through the Thirty-Three Heavens and arrived in a purple bamboo forest shrouded in chaotic mist. Stepping into the forest, he experienced an instant enlightenment, breaking through that half-step and ascending to the throne of an emperor.

He wanted to take some of the purple bamboo with him. However, even as an emperor, he couldn't move the purple bamboo.

In the end, he had to leave empty-handed.

He recorded his experiences, naming those bamboos "Purple Heaven Bamboo" and extolling their incredible effects on cultivation and enlightenment.

In the distant past, countless powerful individuals attempted to become emperors, breaking through layer after layer of heaven to reach the legendary Purple Heaven Bamboo forest and achieve enlightenment. Unfortunately, none of them succeeded, and those who went never returned.

Over time, people began to doubt the existence of the Purple Heaven Bamboo forest outside the Thirty-Three Heavens, and it gradually became a legend.

Luo Shui enjoyed reading ancient texts

, and the Cat Clan had a vast collection of ancient books. Among them were records and legends about the Purple Heaven Bamboo.

"Oh my, using Purple Heaven Bamboo to make a fishing rod, what kind of fishing rod could that be?" Luo Shui's heart raced with excitement, and she became deeply interested in the fishing rod inside the bamboo tube.
