Plants vs. Cultivation

Qinglu Sect Hall.

Gao Yunrui and other senior members of Qinglu Sect gathered together, but their faces were not very good, and even showed a trace of worry. The reason for all this was the result of this true trial.

This true trial was intercepted by unknown forces, resulting in serious losses of outstanding disciples in the sect. Among the top nine true seeds, 4 died, 3 were seriously injured, and only 2 returned safely.

Among the 4 people who fell, there were two true seeds in the foundation-building period ranked 2nd and 3rd. Although the lives of the 3 seriously injured were saved, their injuries were too serious and their foundations were damaged. Unless there were natural treasures to repair the damaged foundations, there was no possibility of further progress.

This means that among the nine true seeds, 7 were lost in this trial, plus other inner disciples who also suffered heavy casualties. What a huge loss, it is equivalent to destroying a generation of Qinglu Sect.

Fortunately, He Shaogang, who was the most favored, was fine, and Yuan Niya also returned safely. These two youngest true disciples were able to escape the disaster, which was a blessing in disguise.

But He Shaogang and Yuan Niya alone could not support the entire Qinglu Sect. If Qinglu Sect still had the Yuanying ancestors, it would give Qinglu Sect time to continue to cultivate a new generation, but...

Gao Yunrui looked at the report in his hand and clenched his fists. At this moment, his heart was full of anxiety. The large number of elite disciples in the sect this time was equivalent to forcing Qinglu Sect to a dead end. The only way to resolve this crisis was to successfully refine the Ningying Pill and he, Gao Yunrui, entered the Yuanying stage.

"Let everyone in."

Gao Yunrui sighed, and then the disciples who participated in the true trial entered the hall. Looking at the sparse crowd, the Qinglu Sect's senior leaders present felt a sense of sadness in their hearts. This was the future of Qinglu Sect.

"Now I announce the official list of true disciples!" Gao Yunrui looked at the disciples in the hall and began to announce the final result of this true disciple trial.

"He Shaogang!"

The first name Gao Yunrui called out was He Shaogang, and no one was surprised by this. This time, He Shaogang's performance was perfect. Not only did he successfully complete the task, but he also killed a foundation-building killer across levels. Although there were foundation-building protectors to help him, this was enough to prove He Shaogang's talent.

Hearing his name, He Shaogang immediately stepped out and received the token representing the true disciple from Gao Yunrui.

"Disciple, work hard, the future of Qinglu Sect depends on you." Gao Yunrui said in a gentle tone. Qinglu Sect suffered this catastrophe, and the younger generation was almost wiped out. Now Gao Yunrui can only count on this disciple. With the talent shown by He Shaogang, he may be able to turn the tide and hold up the banner of the younger generation of Qinglu Sect.

"Disciple will definitely do his best." He Shaogang looked solemn.

Most of the outstanding disciples of the younger generation of Qinglu Sect have been killed, so naturally, He Shaogang, the genius, will be more valued, and he will be able to gain more power, and it will be easier to disintegrate Qinglu Sect.

If there is no bug of Gu Mo, this plan will be absolutely perfect. But now, what He Shaogang wants to do most is to get rid of Gu Mo.

If Gu Mo lives one more day, He Shaogang will be full of anxiety and uneasiness in his heart. However, the plan for Gu Mo has been planned, but this time He Shaogang wants to be foolproof, so it takes more time.

"Yuan Niya!"

After He Shaogang withdrew, Gao Yunrui immediately announced the name of the second true disciple. With the fall of the second and third true seeds, Yuan Niya's ranking also came directly to the second.

Or even if the two did not fall, Yuan Niya's performance this time was enough to make her rank second. She also successfully completed the trial task, and also killed two Qi training great perfection and several Qi training late monks. Although such a record is not as amazing as He Shaogang's killing of the foundation building monk.

That was also an extremely amazing record. After all, Yuan Niya was only a cultivator at the sixth level of Qi Refining. Killing a cultivator at the sixth level of Qi Refining was not much worse than He Shaogang.

"Not bad, you have the style of your master back then."

Gao Yunrui took out the True Disciple Order, handed it to Yuan Niya, and praised. Killing a cultivator at the sixth level of Qi Refining was a record that Gao Yunrui remembered that Yuan Niya's master Zhuo Suzhu had.

Hearing the praise from the sect leader, Yuan Niya's little face suddenly showed a happy smile. Seeing this, Gao Yunrui smiled. Not only was the record similar, but the personality was also 70% similar.

"Ye Yuqi!"

After Yuan Niya, Gao Yunrui announced the name of the third True Disciple. Originally, Ye Yuqi's ranking had fallen outside the top nine this time. If this ambush had not happened, Ye Yuqi would have a high probability of missing the True Disciple position. However, the death of the True Disciple Seed ranked high this time made Ye Yuqi's ranking rise and directly rushed to the third place.

"Greetings, Sect Master!"

Ye Yuqi stepped forward and bowed, his expression neither happy nor sad, because his mind was a little confused at the moment. Before the True Transmission Trial, Ye Yuqi spent all his money to hire a killer organization to kill Yuan Niya, and then this big kill happened.

This made Ye Yuqi associate the two things, although he thought it was impossible that he had someone kill Yuan Niya, which led to this incident.

But if the sect knew about this, he would definitely die. Now the sect is fully investigating the force that attacked them. If Ye Yuqi is exposed, he will definitely be considered a spy of that force by the sect.

"Practice well, the future of the sect is in your hands." Gao Yunrui handed over the true transmission token and gave a few simple words of encouragement.

Although Ye Yuqi's performance was not as good as He Shaogang and Yuan Niya, and there was even a huge gap, the other party was once a top-ranked inner disciple, and Gao Yunrui was still looking forward to Ye Yuqi's future achievements.

After Ye Yuqi, the next true transmission disciples were far behind He Shaogang and Yuan Niya. It is no exaggeration to say that these true transmission disciples have little hope of entering the Jindan realm in the future, and this is when the sect provides them with a portion of Jindan resources.

However, the number of true transmissions in the sect is fixed at nine, and even if there is an accident, the number will not be reduced. It's just that this batch of true transmission disciples should become the worst batch in the history of Qinglu Sect in terms of overall strength.

"You nine people will be the true disciples of our Qinglu Sect from now on. Your every move represents the honor and disgrace of the sect. I hope you will practice well and don't bring shame to the sect." After announcing the list of true disciples, Gao Yunrui warned the nine people in front of him.

"Yes!"

The nine people responded in unison.

"I will announce one more thing." After completing the promotion ceremony of the true disciples, Gao Yunrui spoke again, "Three months later, the sect will hold a competition for outer disciples. The top ten in this competition can enter the inner sect."

This true disciple trial caused serious losses to the inner sect disciples. Gao Yunrui naturally had to supplement them. The supplement of inner sect disciples is generally to find talented seedlings from the mortal world.

But this is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Every time Qinglu Sect recruits disciples, if one or two can enter the inner sect, it is considered a good harvest. More often than not, there is not even one.

Slowly looking for people from the mortal world is obviously not suitable for the current situation of Qinglu Sect, so Gao Yunrui chose to directly select from the outer sect disciples.

This ambush has caused some panic in the entire sect. The inner disciples suffered huge losses, but the outer disciples also suffered huge losses. After all, every inner disciple who participated in the trial would hire several assistants, and these assistants were basically outer disciples.

Therefore, the number of outer disciples lost this time was several times that of the inner disciples, but there were more outer disciples in Qinglu Sect, so the overall loss rate was not as serious as that of the inner disciples.

Gao Yunrui released a channel for outer disciples to enter the inner sect at this moment, and also meant to appease those disciples. After that, Gao Yunrui would also conduct a competition for menial disciples and select some of them to become outer disciples.

Sure enough, as the news spread, all outer disciples were excited. Generally speaking, the only way for outer disciples to become inner disciples is to become foundation-building cultivators and enjoy the treatment of inner disciples in the name of sect stewards.

But with the talents of outer disciples, it is not impossible to become foundation-building cultivators, but it is extremely difficult.

Now the sect has directly provided a channel for promotion, how can this not surprise people, especially some outer disciples with strong strength, who secretly regard the top ten of this competition as their own.

Check the correct version in 16-9-1 book-1 bar!

"Outer disciples' competition, this is an opportunity." Gu Mo looked at the message sent by Yuan Niya and thought to himself.

If he can become an inner disciple with the help of this competition, then He Shaogang and Qian Qiyi will need to be more cautious if they want to move him.

Gu Mo knew the true origins of He Shaogang and Qian Qiyi. These two people must be thinking about how to get rid of him. One of them is the first true disciple, and the other is the sect deacon. Gu Mo's current identity as an outer disciple will be very disadvantageous when facing the two.

Originally, Gu Mo planned to show his strength as a spiritual plant master to Qi Chunde, the elder spiritual plant master, to see if he could make an exception and accept him. Gu Mo, who successfully condensed his spiritual consciousness, can already use some methods of a 2nd-level spiritual plant master.

With the cultivation of Qi Refining Stage, he could condense the consciousness. With such talent, there should be great hope if he makes an exception.

As long as he can become Qi Chunde's disciple, even if Gu Mo has a Jindan elder as a backer, he can better deal with the threats of He Shaogang and Qian Qiyi.

But now Gu Mo sees a better way, that is, to become an inner disciple through this competition. Although there is still a gap between the inner disciples and the direct disciples of the Jindan elders, there is still a gap between the two.

But the advantage is that Gu Mo does not need to reveal too many cards. If Elder Qi shows his ability as a spiritual plant master, he needs to expose the fact that Gu Mo condensed the consciousness. When the news comes out, He Shaogang will know that the other party will definitely be on guard against this move when he wants to deal with him.

This is equivalent to letting Gu Mo lose a trump card.

And participating in the outer sect competition, with Gu Mo's current combat power, he can definitely kill through the entire outer sect competition, unless a foundation-building cultivator appears in the outer sect competition, but this is obviously impossible.

As for the fact that his cultivation was exposed due to the competition, he had the elixir that the sect master had rewarded him with before. Moreover, Gu Mo was now practicing the Breath Containment Technique and had obtained the complete Breath Containment Technique. Gu Mo could already push the Breath Containment Technique to the Great Perfection Realm.

When the Great Perfection-level Breath Containment Technique was used, even the cultivators in the Golden Core Realm would not be able to see through Gu Mo's true and false. By then, Gu Mo could even hide his mist-like spiritual power.

The more Gu Mo hid, the more cards he would have to save his life in the future when facing danger.

After digesting the message sent by Yuan Niya, Gu Mo put away the communication jade talisman and planted a sunflower seed. After returning to his spiritual field, Gu Mo planted all the sunflowers as soon as possible.

At the same time, as the defense of the spiritual field increases, Gu Mo also plans to increase the number of sunflowers. Previously, Gu Mo planted 15 sunflowers in the spiritual field. This time, Gu Mo plans to increase the number of sunflowers to 30.

Becoming an inner disciple makes He Shaogang wary. This is just a stopgap measure. If he really wants to resolve the crisis, improving his own strength is the only way out.

And Gu Mo's strength is directly related to the sunflowers. The sun essence condensed by the sunflowers can be upgraded, purchased plants, and can also increase Gu Mo's cultivation speed.

Gu Mo is now just one step away from breaking through the bottleneck and entering the seventh level of Qi Refining. Once Gu Mo enters the late stage of Qi Refining, then Gu Mo will no longer have any bottlenecks before building the foundation. As long as the sun essence is sufficient, Gu Mo can quickly enter the great perfection of Qi Refining.

It will take a long time for ordinary Qi Refining Nine-level cultivators to enter the Great Perfection of Qi Refining, because at this stage, Qi Refining Nine-level cultivators need to condense all the gaseous spiritual power in their bodies into mist, which is a relatively time-consuming process.

Of course, this process can be accelerated with the help of spiritual stones, elixirs or natural treasures, but Gu Mo's spiritual power has long been in the form of mist, so when he enters the ninth level of Qi Refining, he can directly enter the state of Qi Refining Great Perfection without any waiting.

After that, as long as Gu Mo gets a 2nd-level spiritual field and obtains a complete 2nd-level solar essence, he can become a foundation-building cultivator without any obstacles.

Speaking of spiritual fields, Yuan Niya successfully became a true disciple, and Gu Mo and Chu Feifei both received a generous sect contribution. It can be said that Gu Mo is not far from exchanging for a 2nd-level spiritual field. It seems that the top ten in this outer sect competition can not only enter the inner sect, but also be rewarded with a sect contribution.

By then, Gu Mo should be able to collect the sect contribution to exchange for a 2nd-level spiritual field.

In addition, Gu Mo has another way to obtain a complete 2nd-level solar essence without a 2nd-level spiritual field, that is, the 50 medium-grade spiritual stones he just obtained. Burying 50 medium-grade spiritual stones in a flower pot can definitely create spiritual power to reach the level of a 2nd-level spiritual field in a short time.

There will be absolutely no problem planting the second-level sunflowers and condensing several complete second-level sun essences.

These 50 middle-grade spirit stones are also a card in Gu Mo's hand. If he really encounters any critical situation, Gu Mo will choose to use these 50 precious middle-grade spirit stones to condense a complete second-level sun essence and let himself directly enter the foundation-building period.
