Plants vs. Cultivation.

Chapter 112 Outside the Body

"Hu~~"

Gu Mo let out a long breath, ending today's practice. At the same time, he also completed the transition to a new technique, which took Gu Mo three months.

He cultivated the Qingmu Sutra from the first level of Qi Refining to the seventh level of Qi Refining. There was no hindrance at all in the whole process of transformation. After all, Gu Mo was cultivating the Qi Refining level skills with the strength of the Foundation Establishment, so the progress was naturally very fast.

It stands to reason that when a foundation-building cultivator changes his cultivation method, he needs to use the spiritual power cultivated by the new method to condense it into liquid spiritual power. Going through the foundation-building process again, although this process can save the concentration of spiritual consciousness, it is still something that needs to be handled with caution.

Although Gu Mo possesses all the abilities of the Foundation Establishment Stage, his realm is still at the Qi Refining Stage, so all he needs to do to switch his cultivation technique to that of the Qi Refining Stage will be fine.

In other words, even if Gu Mo wanted to condense liquid spiritual power, for him it would just be a matter of getting another portion of level 2 solar essence.

After completing the new practice, Gu Mo naturally experienced the changes brought about by the new practice. The first was the change in the attribute of spiritual power. The Qingmu Sutra was a practice of wood attribute. The spiritual power condensed by practicing this method naturally tended towards wood attribute.

Wood-attributed spiritual power is a perfect match for spiritual plant masters, especially when using the secret technique of accelerating the growth of spiritual plants, the efficiency is several times higher than before.

Gu Mo's original spiritual power came from the essence of the sun. His spiritual power contained the breath of the sun, which had a very good effect on spiritual plants. Now the spiritual power containing the breath of the sun has been added with the attribute of wood. It is no exaggeration to say that it is a great tonic for spiritual plants.

The same change in spiritual power attributes has also given the wood-type's Rejuvenation Technique an epic boost in effect.

Of course, the power of spiritual farming spells of other attributes did not decrease due to the change in spiritual power attributes. They even increased slightly. However, the increase was not as obvious as that of the small rejuvenation technique of the wood attribute.

This is an all-round improvement brought about by the improvement of the level of the technique.

Since it is an all-round improvement, it is obviously not just this. After switching to practicing the Qingmu Sutra, Gu Mo's physique and spiritual power have been improved again.

The more advanced the technique, the more meridians need to be opened to circulate the Qi. The more meridians are opened, the more spiritual power stored in the meridians will naturally increase. Similarly, the more meridians are opened, the more detailed the spiritual power will be in tempering the body, and the greater the improvement of the body will be.

This is the reason why cultivators who practice high-level techniques have stronger foundation than ordinary cultivators.

However, Gu Mo's original physical and spiritual strength was 12 times that of the same level. Now with the enhancement of the skills, Gu Mo's strength has increased further, and it is difficult to calculate how many times it is.

Because Gu Mo's current situation is a bit special. His realm is the seventh level of Qi Refining, but he possesses the liquid spiritual power of the Foundation Establishment period, the physique and consciousness of the middle stage of Foundation Establishment, the middle stage of Foundation Establishment and the seventh level of Qi Refining. This is obviously not something that can be simply measured by a few times the value.

In addition to improving the foundation of the cultivator, high-level skills basically have a unique effect. For example, the Heart Fire Skill that Yuan Niya practiced can ignite the heart fire and gain powerful combat power. And this Qingmu Sutra also has a special effect, which is to increase lifespan.

It is basically a consensus in the world of immortal cultivators that cultivators who practice wood-related techniques live longer, and the Qingmu Sutra is one of the techniques with the strongest effect in prolonging life.

Although the extension of life span does not directly increase combat power, think about Wei Yuancai and others who are stationed at the resource point. They were sent here to guard because their life span is approaching the end. If they practiced wood-based skills, they might still have time to fight again.

As long as we can break through the current bottleneck, it will be a new world.

When ordinary people cultivate immortality, they seek nothing more than immortality. However, in the process of seeking immortality, they inevitably have to fight for opportunities, so there are various offensive techniques.

Although practicing offensive techniques cannot prolong one's life, as long as one can obtain enough opportunities and treasures, one can continuously improve one's cultivation level. When one's cultivation level is high, one can naturally achieve immortality.

However, Gu Mo can do both at the same time, practicing the Qingmu Sutra to prolong his life and using plants to protect himself.

After carefully experiencing the improvements brought by the new technique, Gu Mo stood up and walked out of the magic weapon hut.

When you open the door of the cottage, what comes into view is a golden field of sunflowers. 100 sunflowers are neatly planted by Gu Mo in the spiritual field.

这100株太阳花，其中有30株为2阶太阳花，剩下的70株则为1阶太阳花。并且，2阶太阳花的数量还在不断的增加，谷默最终的目标是50株2阶太阳花。

As for why not upgrading all 100 sunflowers to level 2, the reason is still the carrying capacity of the spiritual field, because Gu Mo also needs to leave space for the level 2 Pea Shooter and level 2 Nuts.

As for the consumption of potato mines, it can be ignored, because when the potato mine is only in the 1st seed state, it needs to be planted in the spiritual field to grow, but after upgrading, it does not need the spiritual field. Cherry bombs do not need the spiritual field from beginning to end.

"Continue to practice."

After admiring his own achievements, Gu Mo returned to the cabin. Gu Mo knew very well that there was less than a year left before the Jade Dew Fruit matured, and the peace here would be broken by then.

Therefore, taking advantage of this rare window, Gu Mo wants to improve himself as much as possible.

This time, Gu Mo was ready to comprehend the half-way magical power he had obtained. Holding the inheritance stone, Gu Mo probed with his spiritual sense, and then a huge amount of information flooded into his mind. The sudden huge amount of information made Gu Mo dizzy and it took him a long time to recover.

Afterwards, Gu Mo's face became a little uncomfortable. He knew that it was difficult to cultivate supernatural powers, and it even required meeting some harsh prerequisites to cultivate supernatural powers.

Gu Mo was also prepared. No matter what conditions were required to practice this magical power of clone, he would do his best to meet them. However, after knowing the conditions for practicing this magical power called the body outside the body, Gu Mo was completely confused.

To cultivate this external body supernatural power, there are no requirements for the practitioner himself. Instead, it requires a kind of natural treasure containing the original power. Only the natural treasure containing the original power can refine the perfect incarnation required for the supernatural power.

What is a perfect incarnation? It is an incarnation that has no flaws and looks just like a normal cultivator. It can practice and cast spells.

A body outside the body that can cultivate itself is equivalent to giving the cultivator an extra life. If the original body dies accidentally, the external body can be transformed into the original body and inherit the cultivation of the external body.

Of course, the external body power that Gu Mo obtained was only half of the original one, and the incarnation he refined could not be truly perfect. If he encountered some top powerful beings, he might still be seen through.

But this top-notch powerful being is definitely a cultivator above the Nascent Soul stage. Beings of this level have not appeared in this world of immortal cultivation for a long time.

Therefore, even this half-style magical power is enough for Gu Mo.

Now the only obstacle for Gu Mo to cultivate this external body magical power is where to find the natural treasures containing the original power.

The power of origin, this sounds very impressive, and the natural treasures that contain this kind of power are definitely not so easy to obtain. "Wait!"

Gu Mo suddenly thought of the six drops of original liquid spiritual power hidden in his dantian. Those six drops of liquid spiritual power contained an inexplicable power. Could this be the original power?

Thinking of this, Gu Mo took out a drop of initial liquid spiritual power, activated his external body magical power and prepared to test it to see if the magical power would react.

“It’s actually the power of origin.”

Feeling the fluctuations coming from the magical power, Gu Mo's eyes were filled with disbelief. The most difficult stage in cultivating this external body was actually completed just like that.

Gu Mo has 6 drops of initial liquid spiritual power, so can he condense 6 external bodies? Of course, his half-style magical power can only condense one external body at most, but there are 5 backups. Even if one external body dies accidentally, Gu Mo can quickly replace it.

The conditions for practicing the external body have been met. Gu Mo did not hesitate and began to concentrate on comprehending this magical power of the external body.

Three months later.

Gu Mo held a drop of liquid spiritual power in his hand, which was one of the six initial drops of liquid spiritual power. Then, Gu Mo squeezed out a drop of blood and merged it into the liquid spiritual power. In this way, the preparations for refining the body outside the body were completed.

Taking a deep breath, Gu Mo began to display the magical power of external body that he had just mastered. In an instant, the spiritual power in Gu Mo's body poured into the drop of liquid spiritual power in his hand that was a fusion of his own blood like a flood.

Afterwards, Gu Mo saw the entire process of an embryo's development. It merged with the initial liquid spiritual power of the blood, and with the blessing of the magical power, it turned into an embryo. The embryo grew rapidly under the infusion of spiritual power. In just a few hours, a brand new Gu Mo appeared.

“It’s exactly the same.”

Gu Mo looked at himself in front of him as if he was looking in a mirror. This incarnation not only looked similar, but even the aura was exactly the same. It was no exaggeration to say that when Gu Mo and this incarnation stood together, outsiders would not be able to tell the real one from the fake one.

After checking the condensed incarnation, Gu Mo continued to use his magical power of external body to connect his consciousness with the incarnation. Only by connecting the consciousness can this incarnation be used by Gu Mo, otherwise, it would be a body without consciousness.

"hello!"

The incarnation Gu Mo slowly opened his eyes, looked at his other self, and couldn't help but wave.

When his consciousness connected with the incarnation, Gu Mo's field of vision immediately became two. However, this change in field of vision was easy for Gu Mo, who had already concentrated his spiritual consciousness, to adapt to.

However, this incarnation is now just a mortal without any cultivation, and his spiritual roots are as inferior as Gu Mo's original self. Gu Mo is speechless about this. The incarnation created with the original power is actually so bad.

In fact, the incarnation refined by the complete external body magical power can use the blood of other people. For example, using the blood of a peerless genius, you can refine an incarnation with excellent spiritual roots and talents. Or you can use the blood of a powerful monster to refine an incarnation, and you can get an incarnation with a strong physique.

Unfortunately, Gu Mo's half-formed magical power lacks a lot of things, and now he can only refine an incarnation of his own. However, this is enough for Gu Mo.

The purpose of his practicing incarnation is to find a substitute who can go out and do things for him. If he uses someone else's incarnation, it would be a bad idea.

As for the inferior spiritual talent of this incarnation, it is not a big problem. The original body can use the essence of the sun to cultivate to the current level, and the incarnation can also replicate this.

This means the consumption of solar essence will increase. However, Gu Mo now has 100 sunflowers, so he can still afford to raise an incarnation.

Or Gu Mo can transfer his original spiritual power directly to the incarnation, and let the incarnation practice with the liquid spiritual power of the foundation-building cultivator. As for whether the incarnation can master the liquid spiritual power, this is naturally not a problem, because it is Gu Mo's consciousness that controls the incarnation.

Using liquid spiritual energy to cultivate, it would be strange if this incarnation's cultivation level did not soar.

Look, in just one month, Gu Mo pushed the incarnation's cultivation to the Great Perfection of Qi Refining, which was higher than the original body's cultivation. This was considered to be a practice of the technique in advance. This was also another use of the incarnation. Let the incarnation practice the technique first, and then the original body practice, which would definitely be more secure.

Although the incarnation's cultivation level exceeds that of the original body, its combat power is not as good as that of the original body. The original body's foundation is too profound, but the incarnation's combat power is still much greater than that of an ordinary cultivator who has reached the great perfection of Qi training.

Even the incarnation's combat power has reached the level of the initial stage of foundation building. Apart from anything else, the incarnation's physique alone is at the real foundation building level.

This is what Gu Mo did by using his original body's liquid spiritual power, combined with the spiritual forging method, to directly strengthen the incarnation's physique to the foundation-building stage. Combined with the liquid spiritual power left by the original body in the incarnation's body, and the control of Gu Mo's consciousness, this incarnation possesses the combat power of an early stage of foundation-building, which is absolutely without any water.

At this point, Gu Mo's incarnation is officially formed. As for allowing the incarnation to break through the foundation, Gu Mo plans to wait until his original body has cultivated to the great perfection of Qi Refining before trying it.

No matter whether it is the original body or the clone, both of them possess the physique, spiritual power and consciousness of the foundation-building period during the Qi Refining period. In this case, Gu Mo doesn't know whether he will enter the foundation-building period directly or have to go through the foundation-building process again.

For the sake of safety, Gu Mo will let his incarnation attempt to build the foundation first. If there is no problem, the original body will try it.

"Well, it's time to go out and show some faces." Gu Mo controlled the incarnation to leave the spiritual field formation. He had been practicing for the past few months, and Gu Mo felt that he should go out and show some faces, pay attention to the situation of the resource points, and by the way, see the effect of this incarnation.

"I have seen Gu Zhenchuan!"

Seeing Gu Mo appear, Wei Yuan hurriedly walked up to him, without noticing anything unusual about Gu Mo.

"How is the yield of Jade Dew Fruit this year?" Gu Mo asked. There are only a few months left before Jade Dew Fruit matures. The yield of Jade Dew Fruit should have been completely determined.

"This time, the three jade fruit trees produced a total of nine jade fruit, which is the highest yield in recent years." Wei Yuancai smiled when he heard Gu Mo asking about the jade fruit. This was their credit.

There are nine Jade Dew Fruits. Even if some of them are snatched away, there are still a lot left this time.

"good."

Gu Mo nodded. With nine Jade Dew Fruits, his mission this time was finally accomplished. As for taking out some to deal with those robbers, it was obviously impossible for Gu Mo to do so.
