I Come to Teach You Cultivation-Chapter 249 - 19: Life Talisman · Bronze Tree (1/3)

As expected, Shan Zhu became the only human allowed to step on the "Fish Bridge."

Trembling with fear, he walked on that "Living Bridge" made of countless fish.

Shan Zhu was afraid that if he wasn't careful, he would slip into the Yunmeng Marsh.

"Don't be afraid, you won't fall into the water."

Perhaps seeing Shan Zhu's nervousness, the Spider Lady swimming alongside him rarely smiled.

"Cai Gu is the Guardian God of these waters, not one of those suppressed ghost gods..."

"She possesses complete divine power, even if you really fell into the water, these fish would hold you up."

Hearing the Spider Lady say this,

Shan Zhu barely managed to calm his nerves, but he couldn't help but grow a bit curious.

About the matter of the Yunmeng Marsh suppressing countless ghost gods.

The mountain people living in the Hundred Lands Group may not all know, but in Li Family Village, it is a well-known fact.

"She hasn't left Yunmeng Marsh?"

According to Shan Zhu's inherent logic, a god like Cai Gu should actively stay away from Yunmeng Marsh.

Yet, instead of leaving, she became the Guardian God of these waters, a matter Shan Zhu couldn't understand.

"Why leave Yunmeng Marsh?"

The sternness on her face had long melted away, and the Spider Lady asked playfully.

"Including you, everyone thinks Yunmeng Marsh is a dangerous place, but is that really the truth?"

"Let go of the wariness born from ignorance and fear; the master of Yunmeng Marsh might be grander than you imagine."

Unable to help blinking his eyes, Shan Zhu did not press further.

Because he suddenly thought of a rumor secretly circulating in Li Family Village.

The master of Yunmeng Marsh, the Red-haired Ghost God, the Descent Celestial Being, might be the Son of the Mountain God, revered as the Mountain Prophet.

Shan Zhu might not be very bright, but his character was very steady.

For information and intelligence that was clearly beyond his reach, Shan Zhu did not intend to pry.

——Sometimes ignorance is a form of self-protection.

"How long do I have to walk like this?"

Unable to see front or back, left or right, he could only continue forward along the fish bridge.

With a calm mindset, Shan Zhu gradually began to appreciate the beauty of the Yunmeng Marsh, a place rarely trodden.

"Almost there."

Swooping around Shan Zhu twice, the Spider Lady suddenly pointed forward.

"Look, up ahead is our destination——the Bronze Island specifically used for planting Bronze Trees."

Responding with a glance, the first thing to catch Shan Zhu's eye was a movable island.

The island was also shrouded in mist, only faintly reflecting sunlight and creating a dazzled gleam.

"That is... Bronze Island?"

Unconsciously shielding his eyes, Shan Zhu's face was filled with shock.

Anyone seeing an island made entirely of metal would likely show a face no better than Shan Zhu's.

Moreover, this Bronze Island was slowly moving in the lake, causing a series of visible ripples around it.

"Everyone's expression is about the same when they first come here..."

With a faint smile on her face, the Spider Lady said this habitually.

"However, what you are about to see next is the real miracle."

...........................

With the help of the fish swarm and the Spider Lady, Shan Zhu boarded the Bronze Island smoothly.

Then, he was again shocked by what he saw.

On this Bronze Island, real Bronze Trees took root in the earth, radiating cyan light all over.

Just like real trees.

These Bronze Trees, rooted in metallic earth veins, could absorb sunlight and grow gradually.

"Are those proverbs?"

Looking at the Proverb Talisman on the Bronze Trees, Shan Zhu clearly felt they were much more complex than those on the Bronze Beasts.

It's also due to the blessing of those Proverb Talismans that these Bronze Trees appear vibrant and alive, just like the trees outside.

"Yes, these are naturally growing 'Life Talismans.'"

"See the 'fruits' on the trees? Those are the Bronze Beasts you need."

She walked to a Bronze Tree proactively.

The Spider Lady pointed to a Bronze Fruit on the tree.

That fruit emitted a cyan glow; the proverbs on it, although not as complex as those on the Bronze Tree, vaguely formed a perfect cycle.

"Is that the Bronze Beast?"

In disbelief, he widened his eyes.

With Shan Zhu's limited knowledge, he couldn't imagine how these fruits turned into Bronze Beasts.

Fortunately, the Spider Lady had no intention of keeping secrets and knocked lightly on the Bronze Tree, as if knocking on a door.

"Sixty-seventh sister,"

"I'm here to get a Bronze Beast. Help me pick a 'Tusked Porpoise' type Bronze Beast."

Under Shan Zhu's surprised gaze, a palm-sized cyan spider slowly crawled out of the tree hole.

The spider's color and behavior made it clear it was of the same kind as the "Bronze Beasts."

However, unlike the Bronze Beasts Shan Zhu had encountered,

this Bronze Spider not only possessed full self-awareness, but its very existence was symbiotic with this Bronze Tree.

"Sister Eleven, how long has it been since you last visited me?"

"Every time you come, you pick those defective products; if you do it again, I won't talk to you."

The Bronze Spider spoke in a childish voice, full of coquettishness and complaints.

"Alright, alright, I'm not visiting you without a reason; see what I brought?"

Clearly accustomed to the Bronze Spider's presence,

the Spider Lady skillfully pulled a struggling mouse from her spider bag.

"Ah! It's a living creature! And it's my favorite, a mouse!"

Seeing this, the Bronze Spider immediately excitedly spat webs to wrap the mouse.

The next second, the struggling mouse was swiftly dragged into the tree hole with a motion faster than the eye could catch.

"Considering you remembered my preference, I won't make things difficult for you!"

Without casting a glance at Shan Zhu, the Bronze Spider deftly knocked off a Bronze Fruit next to it.

Boom!

With the sound of the fruit hitting the ground,

the nearby metallic soil immediately gathered like waves.

In an instant, the proverbs on the fruit spread onto the metallic soil, then formed a complete Bronze Beast.

The entire process lasted no more than three seconds, leaving Shan Zhu dumbfounded once again.

"Is this... it?"

Involuntarily glancing at the Bronze Trees laden with fruits, Shan Zhu inexplicably felt a sense of awe.

He could hardly imagine what an exaggerated scene it would be if all those fruits could turn into Bronze Beasts.
