Holding the space chat group, the cannon fodder female supporting role ascended

Chapter 304 Fulfilling Her Wish
Yunxi knew very well that Nascent Soul True Monarchs were not so easily fooled, so she quickly changed the subject:

“Buddha Yunchen, I still have some questions about this giant bamboo. Perhaps the mystery that Hanlian Zhenjun is trapped in is related to this bamboo, otherwise you wouldn’t have found her here. She should have asked you for help before losing consciousness. May I check the jade slip? Perhaps I will find something.”

Yun Chen, the Buddhist disciple, nodded in agreement and then began to meditate to recover his spiritual power. He had to devote half of his power to maintaining the operation of the barrier, and also to watch over Han Lian Zhenjun and prevent other cultivators from appearing in the bamboo forest. It was a case of doing three things at once, which was extremely taxing.

With Yunxi here, he only needs to maintain the operation of the barrier and concentrate on meditation to recover. In this way, he will soon be able to return to his peak condition.

Meanwhile, Yunxi was multitasking, instructing Diandian and Zhusheng to keep an eye on Hanlian, Yunchen, and Juzhu, while she herself went into her spatial dimension to ask for help in the chat group.

She was having some bad luck this time; Fairy Aura wasn't online, and the other group members probably couldn't help her either, but she still sent a message in the group.

Passing Clouds: "Seniors, I've encountered some trouble. Does anyone know what kind of bamboo this is?"

Survival is the only thing that matters: "This looks like a mutated bamboo, but I can't tell what kind it is."

Star Trek: "Little Yunyan, are you still not done with your training? Bamboo has become extinct here."

Tribal Warrior: "This plant looks a bit like the place where our orcs' souls return. You call it bamboo? But it doesn't grow this tall here?"

Yunxi glanced at the three people's replies and knew that none of them knew the origin of this bamboo. Just as she was about to leave the group and go to the Medical Immortal Sect's library to look it up, the deity who had never been online replied with three words.

Deity: "Soul-Devouring Bamboo".

Yunxi's eyes lit up, and she immediately replied:
"Thank you for your guidance, senior. A friend of mine had her soul sucked into this bamboo. How can I save her?"

"She can only save herself."

Yunxi, somewhat unwilling to give up, continued to ask:

Can I help her?

"You can go in and try to bring her soul back, but it's very dangerous. If she's someone unimportant, just let her go!"

After reading the expert's answer, Yunxi felt a bit of a toothache, so she asked one last question:
"Senior, how do I destroy the Soul-Devouring Bamboo?"

"Completely destroy the Soul-Devouring Bamboo's original form. Remember, completely."

After answering the question, the deity went offline, and no matter how much Yunxi pressed for an answer, there was no response.

Yunxi had no choice but to withdraw her divine sense from the space. After opening her eyes, she stared blankly at True Monarch Hanlian. A moment later, Buddhist disciple Yunchen also opened his eyes.

"Buddha Yunchen, this is the Soul-Devouring Bamboo. True Monarch Hanlian's soul must have been absorbed into this giant bamboo. Destroying this bamboo will indeed allow us to leave this place, but what about True Monarch Hanlian?"

Yun Xi didn't finish her sentence, but Yun Chen, the Buddhist disciple, understood. He paused in his act of standing up, then turned to look at Yun Xi and asked seriously:

"Are you telling the truth?"

"I swear that everything I have said is true, or else I will be trapped and die in this bamboo forest, forever cut off from the path to immortality."

Yunxi didn't want to waste time and directly swore an oath.

Yun Chen, the Buddhist disciple, finally changed his expression. He sat down heavily and remained silent for a long while before asking:
"Is it possible to retrieve Hanlian's soul?"

Yun Xi raised her eyebrows and said:
"Yes, but you need to enter the giant bamboo in your divine soul state."

"I?"

"Yes, if I'm not mistaken, True Monarch Hanlian's obsession is with you, Senior. She was drawn here because of the influence of the Green Bamboo Miasma, coupled with the natural attraction of water and wood. That's why True Monarch Hanlian fell for the Soul-Devouring Bamboo's trick." This time, Buddhist disciple Yunchen didn't answer Yunxi, but instead kept fiddling with the prayer beads in his hands, seemingly deep in thought. After a moment, he looked up and said:
"Young friend Feng, you seem very confident, as if you could leave at any moment?"

Yunxi replied neither humbly nor arrogantly:
"Senior Yun Chen, I can escape this predicament by destroying this bamboo forest, but whether or not you save Fellow Daoist Han Lian is up to you."

What if I choose not to save them?

"As long as the Buddhist disciple can overcome his own hurdle, that's fine. I am willing but unable to do anything; I can only guarantee that I will not cause trouble for the two of you."

Yunxi's answer was very straightforward, which was also her true thought.

Hanlian Zhenjun is nobody to her, and even if he were to be saved, it wouldn't be her turn as a mere Golden Core cultivator. The reason Hanlian Zhenjun is in this predicament lies with Yun Chen, the Buddhist disciple, so the choice is in Yun Chen's hands.

"Amitabha!"

Yun Chen chanted a Buddhist prayer, sat cross-legged beside Han Lian, and looked at Yun Xi, saying:

"Since you know the origin of the Soul-Devouring Bamboo, you should be able to protect my soul when it enters the Soul-Devouring Bamboo. Please guard my and Hanlian's bodies, and I will bring her back as soon as possible."

Yunxi nodded, removed the bamboo ornament from her hair, and pushed it in front of Yunchen, the Buddhist disciple, saying:

"This is a magic weapon made from a section of Soul-Devouring Bamboo. It should be able to connect to the Soul-Devouring Bamboo in front of us and send the Buddha's soul into it."

However, time is limited. If it is truly impossible to bring back the soul of True Monarch Hanlian, please, Buddhist disciple, return to your physical body before the magic weapon exhausts its power.

"it is good!"

Yun Chen agreed very readily.

Seeing how readily the other party agreed, Yunxi asked with some curiosity:

"Senior Yun Chen, aren't you afraid I'll abandon you and leave? Or take advantage of your souls leaving your bodies to do something?"

Yun Chen's baby face was all smiles:

"No, if you really do that, you will lose your merits, and Yunmen Temple and Jihan Sect will not let you off the hook. If you are not afraid of death, you can try it."

Yunxi curled her lip upon hearing this. She had indeed earned some merit, and she couldn't afford to waste it here. However, she said with a hint of malice:
“Yun Chen, you must remember that Han Lian Zhenjun’s obsession is with you. As for what it is, only the two of you know. In fact, sometimes if you grant her wish, she will let go.”

Yun Chen, the Buddhist disciple, blurted out:
"Why?"

Yunxi replied with a smile:

"What you can't get is always in turmoil, and those who are favored have nothing to fear."

Yun Chen, the Buddhist disciple, repeated these two sentences twice, then closed his eyes and said:
"It's time to start."

Yunxi transmitted her voice to Zhusheng:
"Zhu Sheng, this is your last attempt to communicate with your grandfather and enter his body through Yun Chen Fo Zi's soul. If, and I mean if, your grandfather's consciousness has been devoured by the evil spirit, then you only need to help Yun Chen Fo Zi find Han Lian Zhen Jun's soul and try your best to bring them back. I will handle the rest."

"Master, I understand!"

Zhu Sheng would not disobey his master's orders, but he also knew that this was the best his master could do for him.

This Buddhist disciple's soul is protected by the golden light of merit, making it impossible for evil spirits to approach. This is the real reason why the master encouraged the Buddhist disciple Yunchen to enter his grandfather's body with his soul.

The moment Yun Chen Buddhist Disciple's soul left his body, the scorching golden soul was so intense that Yun Xi couldn't even look at it directly. Zhu Sheng immediately merged into Yun Chen Buddhist Disciple's body, and then transformed into a stream of light that entered the giant bamboo.
