The Golden Sword Bamboo was indeed extremely tough—so much so that Zhou Chun, who was at the early stage of the Purple Mansion Phase and had a third-rank mid-grade Magic Artifact in hand, had to strike seven times to chop it down along with its roots.
This object, nurtured by nature, would perish as soon as it was removed from the soil, leaving no possibility of transplantation.
That is why, after discovering it, Zhou Chun directly chose to chop it down roughly.
Having chopped down the entire Spirit Bamboo along with its roots, Zhou Chun did not bother trimming the branches; he just stowed it into his Storage Pouch.
After finishing this task, he immediately sat down firmly on the ground, cross-legged, and circulated his Golden Cauldron Profound Technique to briefly cultivate.
He soon shook his head, stood up, and swiftly left the area.
Originally, he had thought that since the Golden Sword Bamboo grew here, there might be a vein of Spirit Gold buried beneath.
