Plants vs. Cultivation

Since the disciple of the True Disciple Trial was killed by an unknown assassin organization, Qinglu Sect has increased the collection of relevant intelligence and arranged many people to lurk in various assassination organizations.

Not long ago, a lurking sect spy sent intelligence that someone had issued a bounty mission for Gu Mo, and the reward was very high.

After learning this news, Qinglu Sect immediately became alert. Although Gu Mo was arranged by the sect master to leave the sect temporarily, his identity as a True Disciple was not deprived. If someone dared to assassinate the True Disciple of Qinglu Sect, if Qinglu Sect did not react at all, it would be thought that Qinglu Sect was easy to bully.

After a more detailed intelligence summary, Qinglu Sect judged that this assassination would most likely be launched when the Jade Dew Fruit matured, because that was the most chaotic time for the resource point, and it was the best time to fish in troubled waters.

So the foundation-building deacon who went to the resource point to collect the Jade Dew Fruit changed from the original middle stage of the foundation-building to the late stage of the foundation-building master Tianlu.

After Shi Tianlu arrived at the resource point, he would stay there for a while to help Gu Mo resolve the assassination. Although the bounty was generous, it could only attract assassins in the middle stage of foundation building. It would be difficult to attract assassins in the late stage of foundation building. Therefore, Shi Tianlu, who was in the late stage of foundation building, could handle it.

However, Shi Tianlu was attacked on the way to the resource point. The attackers were three assassins in the late stage of foundation building of the same level. However, as a former genius, Shi Tianlu had strong combat power and managed to kill them out of the siege.

After Shi Tianlu killed them, the three assassins in the late stage of foundation building did not continue to entangle and chose to leave. This made Shi Tianlu very uneasy. Did the sudden departure of the three assassins in the late stage of foundation building mean that their goal had been achieved?

Thinking of this, Shi Tianlu continued to speed up the speed of his escape light. Soon he saw the low peaks in the distance. When he saw that the formation outside the resource point was broken, Shi Tianlu's heart sank.

"Brother Tianlu!"

When Shi Tianlu arrived outside the resource point, Wei Yuan, who noticed someone approaching, hurriedly came to meet him. However, after seeing Shi Tianlu's condition, Wei Yuancai was shocked, "Brother, you..."

"I'm fine, how is the true disciple?" Shi Tianlu waved his hand and asked hurriedly. However, from Wei Yuancai's expression, Shi Tianlu felt that he should hear a better news later.

"Nothing!"

Wei Yuancai told Shi Tianlu about the previous battle, and then, as Wei Yuancai expected, he saw shock on Shi Tianlu's face, and Wei Yuancai felt comfortable immediately.

Sure enough, facing Gu Mo's evil performance, anyone who knew would be shocked. It's not that Wei Yuancai has little experience.

"Hu~~"

After the shock, Shi Tianlu let out a long breath. He thought something big was going to happen this time, but unexpectedly, the true disciple actually solved the assassination by himself.

The great perfection of Qi training killed a foundation-building cultivator. With this strength and talent, He Shaogang, the first true disciple of Qinglu Sect, seemed to have killed a foundation-building cultivator with the help of a guardian of the foundation-building level. The strength shown by Gu Mo at this moment has surpassed that first true disciple.

As for the mysterious attack in the spiritual field mentioned by Wei Yuancai, in Shi Tianlu's opinion, it should be the means of protection given to Gu Mo by the elder of the spiritual plant master.

Now the whole sect knows that Gu Mo will become the direct disciple of the elder of the spiritual plant master in the future, and many Jindan elders have expressed dissatisfaction with this. Gu Mo defeated Ye Yuqi in the true disciple challenge. Now he is the third true disciple of Qinglu Sect. Such a genius was poached, which made the elders of Qinglu Sect feel very disadvantaged.

However, Qi Chunde had a master-disciple agreement with Gu Mo a long time ago, and the sect master Gao Yunrui was also a witness. In addition, Qi Chunde said that he would give some compensation to Qinglu Sect at that time, which blocked the mouths of those elders.

But if those elders knew that Gu Mo had killed a foundation-building cultivator in the state of great perfection of Qi Refining, they would probably have to put on the mask of pain again.

"Hello, Senior Brother Tianlu!"

Knowing that the deacon sent by the sect to collect the Jade Dew Fruit had arrived, Gu Mo also sent an avatar to greet him. With the avatar, Gu Mo himself would not leave the protection circle of the plant front unless it was important.

"Ahem, Junior Brother Gu Mo, it's really great that you're okay." Seeing Gu Mo intact, Shi Tianlu was completely relieved. The tense mood relaxed, causing the injuries on his body to break out.

Facing the siege of three cultivators of the same level, being injured and killing, and then escaping for a long distance, Shi Tianlu's current state was not very good.

"Senior Brother Tianlu, Junior Brother knows a healing technique, do you want to try it?" Gu Mo asked. He did not take action directly, but asked first. After all, the relationship between the two parties had not reached a certain level, and it was not appropriate to take action rashly.

If it was Yuan Niya and Chu Feifei, Gu Mo could treat them directly without asking. They would not think that Gu Mo would harm them and would accept Gu Mo's treatment calmly. However, if they were unfamiliar people, they would need to be informed in advance to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings.

"Thank you, Junior Brother."

Shi Tianlu nodded. He had almost used up all the healing pills he brought with him on the way. Without healing pills, he could only choose to meditate and practice, and slowly heal with the help of spiritual power.

Since Gu Mo mastered the art of treatment, Shi Tianlu would naturally not refuse. The faster the injury healed, the better. If it was delayed for a long time, it might cause some hidden injuries, which might affect his future impact on the Golden Core.

As one of the former geniuses of the sect, although Shi Tianlu's subsequent cultivation progress was a bit slow, at his age, he still had the hope of impacting the Golden Core.

Although it was just the hope of impacting the golden elixir, whether it could be achieved was another matter, but such a hope had already surpassed 99% of the foundation-building cultivators.

Seeing Shi Tianlu nod, Gu Mo casually cast a small rejuvenation spell on Shi Tianlu, and Shi Tianlu's disordered breath was visibly calmed down.

"This..."

Shi Tianlu was also shocked by Gu Mo's healing technique. It seemed to be a small rejuvenation spell, but Gu Mo's small rejuvenation spell was too strong. You have to know that he was in the late stage of foundation building, and Gu Mo was in the great perfection of Qi refining. There was a huge gap between the two realms.

When a cultivator of a lower realm casts healing and auxiliary spells on a cultivator of a higher realm, the effect will be greatly reduced. But Gu Mo has liquid spiritual power, plus the bonus of the Qingmu Sutra, the gap between him and Shi Tianlu is not that big.

Qinglu Sect, main peak.

He Shaogang held the information he had just obtained in his hand, his face was indescribably ugly. He failed, and failed again. If the previous failure could be attributed to the monster, then this failure was real.

A mid-stage foundation building cultivator, plus three early-stage foundation building cultivators, could not kill Gu Mo, a Qi Refiner. While He Shaogang was angry about the failure of the mission, he was also speechless about the strength of the foundation building cultivators who took the mission.

This time, He Shaogang did not send out the cultivators of his own sect to assassinate Gu Mo. His original intention was to avoid disputes with disciples of other sects and let those casual cultivators take action. As long as they paid, they could ignore other issues.

Of course, He Shaogang did not do nothing. He still sent three late-stage foundation building cultivators to intercept Shi Tianlu to prevent him from going over and destroying the assassination plan.

But who could have known that those casual foundation building cultivators were so unbearable and wasted an opportunity in vain. Now that Gu Mo is alert, the difficulty of assassination will increase significantly next time.

"Junior brother, that Gu Mo is not in the sect now, let's put it aside for now, the Qinglu Sect's Ningying Pill refining is about to begin, we must focus all our energy on this, this is the key point." Qian Qiyi said in a deep voice.

They used many means to try to prevent Qinglu Sect from gathering all the materials for refining Ningying Pill, but Qinglu Sect has a 3rd-level spiritual plant master, and the spiritual materials that He Shaogang had finally bought out were all brought out again by the spiritual plant master elder by ripening.

This allowed Qinglu Sect to successfully gather all the materials for refining Ningying Pill. During this period, the Danfeng of Qinglu Sect has stopped refining other pills and is fully preparing for the refining of Ningying Pill. At the same time, Danfeng has become the most heavily guarded place in Qinglu Sect now.

Even He Shaogang, the acting sect master, has to go through layers of verification if he wants to go to Danfeng.

As the sect master Gao Yunrui put all his energy on breakthrough, he has completely let go of the sect affairs and let He Shaogang, the first true disciple, be responsible for the daily operation of the sect in the name of the acting sect master.

This almost makes it clear that Gao Yunrui will pass the position of the sect master to He Shaogang in the future. After all, only He Shaogang and Yuan Niya can show their true teachings in this session, and Yuan Niya's temperament is obviously not suitable for being the sect master.

Of course, if there is a major event related to the sect, several Jindan elders will need to discuss it. Unless Qinglu Sect is in danger of extinction, Gao Yunrui will not show up. What he has to do now is to prepare to break through the Yuanying realm with all his strength.

"I know."

He Shaogang took a deep breath. He naturally knew the importance of the matter. If he didn't kill Gu Mo, he would feel uncomfortable all over. But for now, he can only bear it. Gu Mo, who left the sect, has reduced the threat to him a lot. Preventing the birth of Yuanying cultivators in Qinglu Sect is the most important thing.

Once a new Yuanying cultivator is born in Qinglu Sect, their plan will be completely ruined.

Resource point.

Shi Tianlu collected the nine jade dew fruits and completed the task of collecting spiritual materials from the resource point. Originally, Shi Tianlu planned to let Gu Mo keep two. With his true identity, it was no problem to withdraw the resources from the sect's resource point. He only needed to report it when the time came.

Jade dew fruit, the main material for refining foundation-building pills, is absolutely full of great temptation for a cultivator who has reached the great perfection of Qi training.

It's just that the sect's Danfeng has stopped refining pills during this period. If Gu Mo wants foundation-building pills, he needs to ask alchemists outside the sect to refine them.

But Gu Mo doesn't need any foundation-building pills to break through the foundation-building, so naturally he has no demand for jade dew fruits. He directly asked Shi Tianlu to take all the jade dew fruits away. Each of these jade dew fruits can eventually become Gu Mo's contribution to the resource point he is stationed at.

Next, Gu Mo is ready to officially break through and step into the foundation-building stage. He will save more contributions and prepare to exchange for some good magic weapons and offensive techniques.

Seeing that Gu Mo didn't want the Jade Dew Fruit, Shi Tianlu was a little surprised, but also somewhat understood. With Gu Mo's talent, it seemed that he really didn't need the assistance of the Foundation Building Pill.

After completing the mission, Shi Tianlu left the resource point. Originally, he had a mission to help Gu Mo deal with the assassination, but Gu Mo had already solved it himself.

And recently there was news that the assassination organization's bounty on Gu Mo had been withdrawn. Now that the danger was lifted, Shi Tianlu had to go back and report.

"Has He Shaogang given up?"

Knowing that his bounty had been withdrawn, Gu Mo was a little curious, or the other party was tied up by more important things at the moment.

No matter what the reason was, this was good news for Gu Mo, which was equivalent to giving him enough time to develop.

The Jade Dew Fruit ripens once every five years, which means that this resource point will be very peaceful in the next five years. Gu Mo is ready to seize this rare opportunity and develop it with all his strength.

Gu Mo is very clear that when He Shaogang finishes the important things at hand, he will definitely come to trouble him again.

After Shi Tianlu left, Gu Mo's incarnation entered the Lingtian formation and began to adjust his state, preparing to officially enter the foundation-building period. Now Gu Mo's original cultivation has reached the great perfection of Qi Refining.

When Gu Mo's original body was at the seventh level of Qi Refining, his foundation was comparable to the middle stage of foundation building. Now that he has stepped into the great perfection of Qi Refining, his foundation has been further improved and has truly reached the level of the middle stage of foundation building.

I just don't know if there will be any breakthrough rewards if I enter the foundation building in an orthodox way this time. Last time, the non-mainstream foundation building stopped halfway after giving the advanced rewards, but it also allowed Gu Mo to get 6 drops of liquid spiritual power containing the initial power.

This time, Gu Mo's internal Great Circulation has been connected, and if there is any reward, there should be no situation of stopping halfway.

All his consciousness was transferred to the body, and Gu Mo began to operate the foundation-building method of the Qingmu Sutra. In an instant, the liquid spiritual power in the body quickly gathered towards the Dantian, and then began to compress.

In order to break through the foundation-building, the Qi-refining cultivator needs to compress the mist-like spiritual power in the body into liquid, but at this moment, the spiritual power in Gu Mo's body is already liquid.

If it continues to be compressed, it will be solid. Solid spiritual power will be better understood by another name, that is, golden elixir.

The elixir of the great perfection of the foundation-building cultivator is to continue to compress the liquid spiritual power in the body and condense it into a golden elixir.

Of course, it is impossible to compress the liquid spiritual power in Gu Mo's body into a golden elixir, but the foundation-building method of the Qingmu Sutra is like a rigid procedure. If you don't complete this step, you can't proceed to the next step.

The already liquid spiritual power obviously cannot be compressed further, and if you can't complete the step of spiritual power compression, you can't go to the next step, and you can't skip it at all.

So Gu Mo's foundation-building road was stuck.

Gu Mo was speechless. He had already met all the conditions for a foundation-building cultivator. It stands to reason that even if there was no reward for a breakthrough, it should be just a formality.

Who would have thought that this foundation-building method was so rigid that it stuck Gu Mo. If the foundation-building method had consciousness, it would definitely feel very aggrieved. After all, it had never seen a cultivator like Gu Mo who had met all the conditions for foundation-building in the Qi Refining stage.

The rigidity of the foundation-building method was naturally to ensure the success rate of foundation-building. If the foundation-building method could be changed at will, it would easily cause accidents to occur during the breakthrough process of Qi Refining cultivators, leading to the failure of foundation-building.
