Chapter 104 Cherry Bomb
Qinglu Zongfang Market.

After being heavily disguised, Ye Yuqi looked at a dilapidated hut in the distance, thought for a long time, and finally walked over. That was the new meeting place of the assassination organization, and Ye Yuqi had spent a lot of effort to find it.

Logically speaking, after being abducted during the sect's trial, Ye Yuqi should have tried his best to avoid contact with the assassination organization. However, Ye Yuqi knew that if Yuan Niya did not die, with her protection, he would not be able to get Chu Feifei.

Originally, Ye Yuqi planned to endure it and look for an opportunity after the storm had passed. However, not long ago, when he met Chu Feifei again, the strange fragrance on the other party had become more and more intense, and that fragrance made Ye Yuqi's nasal ability show signs of a breakthrough.

This was a situation that had never happened before. Before, the strange fragrance emanating from Chu Feifei could only trigger Ye Yuqi's nasal ability, but now, his nasal ability showed signs of a breakthrough.

The reason for this situation is very simple. As Gu Mo continues to perform the perfect-level cleansing technique on Chu Feifei, Chu Feifei's special physique is being permanently stimulated little by little. If Chu Feifei hadn't relied on the breath-concealing technique to suppress the strange fragrance on her body, wherever she goes, her fragrance would definitely spread for ten miles.

However, the breath-concealing technique could not hide from Ye Yuqi who had cultivated the nasal ability.

Ye Yuqi's original plan to continue enduring was completely forgotten the moment he saw Chu Feifei. The feeling of having the opportunity and the path right in front of him but not being able to obtain them was too painful.

Especially as Yuan Niya becomes the true disciple, her strength will become stronger and stronger in the future, and it will become more and more difficult to kill Yuan Niya at that time. Therefore, if Ye Yuqi wants to kill Yuan Niya and get Chu Feifei, he has to do it as soon as possible.

So, Ye Yuqi came here again. The assassination organization failed to kill Yuan Niya last time. This time, Ye Yuqi was ready to increase the stakes and let the assassination organization send out stronger killers.

It just so happened that after Ye Yuqi became the true disciple, he became wealthy again.

Entering the hut, there was only a lazy man lying on a shabby little bed. Ye Yuqi showed the contract he had signed with the assassination organization. Seeing this, the lazy man stood up, lifted the bed board under him, revealing the secret passage inside.

After turning countless corners in the secret passage, Ye Yuqi arrived at an underground tavern. Several figures, who covered themselves tightly like Ye Yuqi, were sitting silently in the corner.

"I'll add to the mission bounty."

Ye Yuqi came to the counter and handed over the contract in his hand.

"Hold on!"

The bartender glanced at the contract and then quickly retreated into a secret passage behind the counter.

Qinglu Sect, the main peak.

"Junior brother, the person who issued the mission to kill Yuan Niya has shown up." Qian Qiyi quickly walked to He Shaogang and whispered.

"Oh!"

Hearing this, He Shaogang's eyes lit up, and he immediately asked, "Is Ye Yuqi in the sect now?" He Shaogang had always been paying attention to Ye Yuqi. The more he paid attention, the more he felt that the person who announced the plan to kill Yuan Niya was Ye Yuqi.

"He said before that he wanted to go into seclusion." Qian Qiyi had obviously done his homework before coming.

"It looks like it's almost certain." A smile appeared on He Shaogang's lips. He had been planning to get rid of Gu Mo during this period, but the plan lacked an executor.

In order to avoid being bitten back by Gu Mo and ending up with losses on both sides, He Shaogang and Qian Qiyi will not step down. If they don't step down, they will need someone to charge into battle and executor the plan.

The status of this person cannot be too low. Gu Mo is now an outer disciple, so a menial disciple is not suitable to be the executor. However, it is not easy to instigate outer and inner disciples to rebel.

But at this moment, God sent him the best executor. Ye Yuqi is now the third-ranked true disciple of the sect, and his words carry great weight.

As for whether Ye Yuqi would agree or not, he had caught the other party's handle and it was no longer up to him whether to agree or not.

Speakeasy.

As time passed, Ye Yuqi felt something was not right. Immediately, Ye Yuqi stopped waiting for the counter clerk to appear and turned around to leave.

"Dear guest, we have made some changes to your contract. Are you satisfied?" Just as Ye Yuqi stood up, the guy appeared and took out a brand new contract.

In the contract, the assassination organization stated that the previous mission failure was their responsibility, and they were now willing to increase the mission bounty level for Ye Yuqi for free. Increasing the bounty level means that the killer who takes on the task of killing Yuan Niya will be stronger.

"Then it'll be hard work."

Ye Yuqi was naturally satisfied with the free things, but he also didn't want to give all the resources of the true disciple he had just obtained to the assassination organization.

"Sir, since the mission objective is a bit tricky, I wonder if you could provide some more detailed information, which would increase the success rate of the mission." The waiter said after Ye Yuqi signed the contract.

"can!"

Ye Yuqi thought about it and nodded.

Afterwards, under the guidance of the waiter, Ye Yuqi passed through a secret passage and came to a quiet room. When he entered the quiet room, Ye Yuqi's pupils suddenly shrank, because he saw a familiar person in the quiet room, He Shaogang.

"Junior Brother Ye, don't be shy, sit here." He Shaogang had a faint smile on his face. He Shaogang is now the first true disciple of Qinglu Sect and the eldest senior brother of the sect. Therefore, although Ye Yuqi entered the sect earlier than He Shaogang, he still needs to call He Shaogang "senior brother".

"What Junior Brother Ye? You must have recognized the wrong person." Ye Yuqi suppressed the shock in his heart and pretended not to know.

"Junior Brother Ye, please help me with something and I will help you complete your commission. How about that?" He Shaogang slowly picked up the teacup in front of him and took a sip.

"what's up?"

He Shaogang's words absolutely shocked Ye Yuqi. There was too much information contained in this sentence. At the same time, it also let Ye Yuqi know that he had no possibility of refusing. If he refused, he might disappear from the world.

"It's very simple..."

He Shaogang had just mentioned what he wanted Ye Yuqi to do. When he heard that he was going to deal with an outer disciple, the expression on Ye Yuqi's face immediately relaxed. This was not a difficult task. As a true disciple, it would be easy for him to deal with an outer disciple.

The mission was not difficult, but He Shaogang suddenly appeared here, and his background was somewhat...

"Junior brother, I am willing to follow the lead of senior brother from now on!" Ye Yuqi took a deep breath and bowed down. At this point, it seemed that he had no other choice.

The other party had a hold on him, and it was a hold that could kill him. Ye Yuqi had no other choice but to completely side with He Shaogang.

"Very good!" Ye Yuqi's tact made He Shaogang very satisfied. He won over a true disciple who was ranked third in the sect. This was equivalent to digging a big hole in the dam of Qinglu Sect.

If there are more holes like this, the dam called Qinglu Sect will completely collapse.

……

"Hu~~"

Gu Mo let out a long breath, and the aura of the seventh level of Qi Refining flashed across his body. The bottleneck from the middle to the late stage of Qi Refining was finally overcome by Gu Mo.

Next, Gu Mo will reach the foundation-building stage and will no longer have any bottlenecks. In addition, Gu Mo is also close to mastering the Breath-Containing Technique. As Gu Mo who has already seen through the underlying principles of the Breath-Containing Technique, there will be no bottlenecks before he practices this secret technique to perfection.

The breath-concealing technique at the Great Accomplishment stage is enough to allow Gu Mo to hide from the detection of Jindan cultivators, and there are no Yuanying-level cultivators in Qinglu Sect, which means that no one in the entire Qinglu Sect will be able to tell his true colors.

Of course, as a major Nascent Soul sect, Qinglu Sect should have some special means of detection that can see through it, but as long as Gu Mo keeps a low profile, the sect will not use special detection methods on a disciple for no reason.

It's like, you are walking on the street and suddenly someone grabs you and asks you to do a full-body CT scan. Doesn't this mean he is sick? Only when you suspect that this person is sick will people think of doing a CT scan.

In addition to the realm breakthrough, as the number of sunflowers in Gu Mo's spiritual field reached 30, more solar essence finally allowed Gu Mo to have enough energy to explore the black fog space again.

This time, the exploration was dual-line, inside and outside the door, and both were rewarding. First, in the exploration inside the door, as the black fog inside the door receded, Gu Mo saw the second cultivation pot.

This means that Gu Mo can upgrade two plants at the same time in the future, greatly improving efficiency.

The exploration outside the door was basically focused on the vending machine. This time, the icon of the fifth plant appeared on the vending machine.

Name: Cherry Bomb.

Grade: 1th grade, lower grade.

Effect: Deals powerful explosion damage to the enemy.

Planting conditions: None.

Seeing that the fifth plant that appeared in the vending machine was the cherry bomb, Gu Mo couldn't help but smile. Compared with other plants, the cherry bomb was definitely the easiest to use. It did not require planting, so there were no planting conditions.

To use it, just throw the cherry bomb at the enemy, and the description is that it causes powerful explosion damage. Gu Mo is very familiar with this description, as the potato mine also has this description.

Thinking of the power of the potato mine, Gu Mo became more and more looking forward to the cherry bomb.

The price of this Cherry Bomb is 150 Solar Essence, which is definitely the most expensive plant currently. The Potato Mine with the same description as the Cherry Bomb only costs 25 Solar Essence.

The worst thing is that this cherry bomb is also a disposable consumable, and the price of this consumable is as high as 150 pieces of solar essence. This price is really a bit outrageous.

I reluctantly bought a cherry bomb, and soon a big red cherry the size of a ping-pong ball rolled out of the vending machine. It looked so tempting that I couldn't help but want to take a bite.

But thinking of the description of the powerful explosion damage of the cherry bomb, Gu Mo decisively gave up the suicidal idea.

After clearing a corner of the spiritual field, Gu Mo prepared to test the power of the cherry bomb here. It was obviously impossible to truly understand the effect of the cherry bomb just by reading the description. Only after actually trying it could he figure out the power of the cherry bomb.

"Go away!"

Cherry bomb is a throwing plant, which is really easy to use. Just throw it at the right place.

"Boom!"

The big bright red cherries fell to the ground accurately, followed by an annihilation-level explosion similar to that of a potato mine, except that the explosion range of the cherry bomb was wider, reaching a diameter of 10 meters, which was three times that of a potato mine.

As expected of a high-end product that costs 150 sun essences, Gu Mo could hardly find any disadvantages except for the high price. Moreover, the explosion range of the cherry bomb would continue to expand as the grade increased. For this information, Gu Mo paid the price of losing a small piece of spiritual plant.

After learning about the effect of the cherry bomb, Gu Mo immediately decided to make a level 2 cherry bomb as his trump card.

There are significant restrictions on the use of the Pea Shooter and the Potato Mine. The Pea Shooter requires a spiritual field that matches its grade, and the Potato Mine is triggered passively.

But the cherry bomb has no restrictions. If you can get a level 2 cherry bomb and throw it over, it can probably kill the foundation-building monk directly. Moreover, the cherry bomb has a wide explosion range, so it is difficult for the enemy to escape.

The only drawback of Cherry Bomb is that it is too expensive, not only the price but also the upgrade is expensive. But thinking of its excellent quality, Gu Mo can only bear it.

The only problem is that he doesn't have enough sunflowers now. If Gu Mo had hundreds or thousands of sunflowers now, the consumption of cherry bombs would be just a drop in the bucket.

……

"Senior Sister, you have made a breakthrough in your cultivation, why are you still so worried?" In the spiritual farm hut, as the strong fragrance dissipated, Gu Mo opened his eyes and saw Yuan Niya with a worried look on her face.

He Shaogang, who is ranked first in the true teachings, is the eldest senior brother of the sect, and Yuan Niya, who is ranked second in the true teachings, is the eldest senior sister of the sect. The two of them can be said to be the most dazzling geniuses of the sect today.

And Yuan Niya did not disappoint. In just a few months, her cultivation reached the seventh level of Qi Refining.

It was only after becoming a true disciple and coming into contact with the sect's secrets that Yuan Niya realized that it was not an exaggeration to say that the sect was now facing difficulties both internally and externally.

The internal worry is naturally the fact that the inner disciples were ambushed and killed during the trial of true teachings, which led to the interruption of the Qinglu Sect. The external worry is that other major sects are constantly encroaching on the Qinglu Sect's external interests.

These benefits include spiritual stone mines, spiritual material growth points and spiritual fields. These are all resources to maintain the normal operation of a sect. If these resources are embezzled little by little, there will be no impact in the short term, but over time, big problems will arise.

The Qinglu Sect simply has no good solution when facing this situation. Others will only encroach on your interests bit by bit. If others directly encroach on all of Qinglu Sect's external interests in one go, then the Qinglu Sect will definitely react violently and fight with the other party.

But if it was just a little bit of profit, Qinglu Sect would hesitate, wondering whether it needed to fight a war for that little bit of profit. Qinglu Sect did not have a Yuanying Patriarch, which made Qinglu Sect lack confidence. In the end, they could only choose to be tolerant. They thought that after a new Yuanying Patriarch was born in Qinglu Sect, everything they lost would be back.

But the more tolerant you are, the more others will push their buttons. Yuan Niya has a deep experience of this. When she was young, she would fight back without hesitation when others bullied her. Although she was bruised all over every time, no one dared to bully her after a few times.
