Lady Bamboo sighed softly, "After one hundred and fifty years of cultivation, from a barren island to now being covered with Rouge Bamboo... Daoist friends do not know that Rouge Bamboo isn't something you can simply plant and expect to grow; it requires meticulous care, with special pruning and irrigation at every solar term.
It's like one's own child; how can one simply abandon it at will?"
Hou Niao was silent. Rouge Bamboo was not just a simple plant but a type of Spirit Plant that requires careful nurturing. Without human care, the bamboo on the island might not die, but it would gradually grow and revert to common forest bamboo.
Then there are the flowering periods—ordinary bamboo flowers every sixty years, completing a cycle of reincarnation, but Rouge Bamboo flowers every six years... He loved nature and the forest bamboo; his only regret was that this Rouge Bamboo would have been better if it had grown wild, even if the rare spiritual varieties were scarcer.
