Plants vs. Cultivation.

Chapter 119 Fake Pill
As an old cultivator in the foundation-building stage, Wei Yuancai's own talent and strength are average, but as he has lived long enough, he has naturally seen more. At least he has seen the phenomenon of Dan formation more than once. Therefore, he can confirm that the phenomenon in the sky at this moment is caused by the cultivator's Dan formation.

However, the source of this strange phenomenon of forming a pill seemed to be at the resource point where they were, or to be more precise, the place where Gu Zhenchuan was.

But wasn't that Gu Zhenchuan at the Great Perfection of Qi Refining? If he was to say that he was at the Foundation Establishment stage, Wei Yuan wouldn't be surprised at all, and he even thought it was a matter of course.

But what appeared at this moment was the Dan-forming phenomenon. It couldn't be that Gu Zhenchuan was about to form a Dan. It was simply impossible to skip the entire foundation-building stage from the Great Perfection of Qi Refining and directly form a Dan.

Therefore, Wei Yuancai thought that there might be some unexpected situation, so he quickly rushed to the spiritual field where Gu Mo was. On the way, Wei Yuancai asked other Qi-refining monks at the resource point to leave here to avoid being affected.

Soon Wei Yuancai arrived outside Gu Mo's spiritual field formation. Before Wei Yuancai could contact Gu Mo, he saw Gu Mo rushing out in a hurry.

"Come on!"

Seeing Wei Yuancai, Gu Mo hurriedly called on him to run away together.

After discovering that his incarnation had actually created a pill-forming phenomenon by using the spiritual power compression method, Gu Mo was completely dumbfounded. With his incarnation's situation, it was impossible for him to form a pill, even a fake one.

But the huge vortex of spiritual power in the sky was still madly pouring spiritual power into his incarnation. At that moment, Gu Mo knew that his incarnation had turned into a powerful spiritual power bomb.

So Gu Mo quickly packed up his belongings, dug out all the level 2 plants in the spiritual field and threw them into the black fog space, then turned around and ran. As for the level 1 plants, Gu Mo no longer cared about them.

"Ah! Good!"

Seeing that Gu Mo was fine, Wei Yuancai couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then quickly followed Gu Mo's footsteps and quickly moved away from the resource point. Although he didn't know what exactly had happened, just sensing the violent spiritual power in that spiritual field made Wei Yuancai instinctively want to stay away from it.

"Om~~"

Gu Mo and Wei Yuan had not run far when suddenly, a heart-pounding buzzing sound was heard, followed by a dazzling light. However, the dazzling light did not burst out immediately, but was blocked by a layer of light curtain.

That was the light curtain of the Nut Array. Before leaving, Gu Mo changed the defensive direction of the Nut Array inward, hoping that the Nut Array could block the terrifying spiritual power explosion that would follow.

Unfortunately, the nut formation was torn apart after only blocking for a moment, but the nut formation did not collapse instantly. Only cracks appeared on the formation, which caused the explosive energy inside to overflow into the sky along the cracks. As the cracks continued to expand, the power generated by the explosion inside was also rapidly released.

This release actually reduced the damage caused by the explosion. After all, the energy generated by the explosion was released into the air, which allowed the resource points to be preserved.

However, Gu Mo’s spiritual field should be gone.

"Hu~~"

Wei Yuancai wiped the sweat from his forehead. He almost thought that the entire resource point was going to be destroyed. Fortunately, the energy of the explosion was directed into the sky.

This also caused many strange phenomena in the sky, but this place is remote and not many people would see it.

"That Gu Zhenchuan, this is..." As the power of the explosion gradually subsided, Wei Yuan couldn't help but ask, is it really appropriate to carry such a dangerous thing at a resource point?

"It's okay, just a minor accident during the experiment." Gu Mo waved his hand. Of course, he couldn't tell Wei Yuancai the truth.

Seeing that Gu Mo was unwilling to talk, Wei Yuancai stopped asking, thinking that it must be some secrets of this Gu Zhenchuan. However, Wei Yuancai still asked Gu Mo to promise not to conduct such dangerous experiments at the resource point in the future.

Gu Mo naturally gave a guarantee for this.

After waiting for the aftermath of the explosion to end, Gu Mo and Wei Yuancai quickly returned to the resource point. Wei Yuancai immediately went to the location of the three jade dew fruit trees to check if there were any problems with these three important spiritual plants.

As for Gu Mo, he came to the spiritual field that was blown into a big pit. This explosion had half destroyed the spiritual field. The reason why it was only half destroyed was because this spiritual field was formed by the three jade dew fruit trees. As long as the three jade dew fruit trees were not destroyed, the spiritual field would be able to recover.

Those three jade dew fruit trees, although they did not suffer a direct impact from the spiritual power explosion, many of their roots buried underground were blown away. At this moment, Gu Mo could see a lot of broken roots in the big pit.

But it's not a big problem. Gu Mo is a spiritual plant master, and treating spiritual plants is his specialty. When the time comes, take some time to heal the three jade dew fruit trees, and they should be able to recover soon.

In addition, all the level 1 plants that Gu Mo did not have time to collect were destroyed, and one of his incarnations had no trace left.

"what?"

Suddenly, Gu Mo's eyes swept into the big pit, where he felt a familiar breath, which was the breath of his spiritual power.

"This is!!"

Gu Mo dug up the soil and found a round bead. From this bead, Gu Mo felt a terrifying spiritual power, and this spiritual power was actually from the same source as his own.

“This is the fake pill of the incarnation!”

Gu Mo quickly guessed the origin of the bead. Logically speaking, the incarnation could not condense a fake pill, and even if it finally induced the pill-forming phenomenon, it should be difficult to succeed. But at that time, Gu Mo found that something was not right, and directly pulled his consciousness away from the incarnation. Without the interference of Gu Mo's consciousness, the incarnation, with the help of the infusion of the spiritual power of heaven and earth, condensed this fake pill.

And this fake pill finally survived the explosion and was preserved.

But what was going on? Gu Mo was confused for a moment as he held his fake pill, but soon a light appeared in his eyes.

This fake pill is his own, and Gu Mo can perfectly absorb the spiritual power inside, which is equivalent to giving Gu Mo a super spiritual power source.

Moreover, although the quality of the spiritual power contained in the fake elixir is not as good as that of the real golden elixir, it has already surpassed the foundation-building level.

By using the spiritual power in this fake pill to practice the Spiritual Forging Technique, wouldn't it be possible to temper the physique to the level of a fake pill cultivator? With this physique, Gu Mo can be fearless of the attacks of most foundation-building cultivators.

In addition, Gu Mo remembered that there was an external alchemy technique in the world of immortal cultivation. The so-called external alchemy technique was that the cultivator used the inner alchemy of a level 3 monster and refined it into his own golden elixir, thereby gaining the combat power of a golden elixir cultivator.

This method does not require the process of forming a pill, so there is no possibility of failure in forming a pill, and you can even try to make a sacrifice in the late stage of building a foundation. The disadvantage is that the inner pill of a level 3 monster is rare, and the inner pill from outside is not your own, so the power it can exert is limited.

But if Gu Mo uses the external alchemy technique to refine the fake pill in his hand, there will probably be no problem, because this fake pill was originally condensed by Gu Mo himself and there is no conflict with Gu Mo.

It doesn't even require Gu Mo to be in the late stage of foundation building. He can perform the ritual in the middle stage of foundation building. This is the advantage of 100% compatibility. Gu Mo himself happens to have the foundation of the middle stage of foundation building. Theoretically, Gu Mo can now perform the ritual of refining this fake pill and make himself have the strength of a fake pill cultivator.

But Gu Mo would not do so. To refine fake elixirs would mean ruining one's future. Only those cultivators who had no hope of obtaining the golden elixir would choose external alchemy techniques.

Gu Mo himself does not know how to refine this fake pill, but he can give it to his incarnation. In this way, Gu Mo can obtain an incarnation with the combat power of a fake pill in a short period of time.

The fake elixir cultivator is considered a powerful figure in the world of immortal cultivation.

However, before that, Gu Mo had to rebuild the half-destroyed spiritual field first. Only with a spiritual field could various plants be planted. Only with plants could there be solar essence for cultivation, pea shooters for combat power, nuts for defense, and so on.

The first step to restore the spiritual field is not the spiritual field itself, but the three jade dew fruit trees. Only by allowing the roots of the jade dew fruit trees under the spiritual field to grow again can the spiritual field be restored.

Thinking of this, Gu Mo came to the location of the three Jade Dew fruit trees. At this moment, Jin Wei Yuancai was directing a group of Qi-refining monks to maintain the three fruit trees.

The three Jade Dew Fruit trees were obviously not as vigorous as before and looked a little listless. This was because their roots were damaged. It would take at least several years for them to recover.

This means that in the next ripening period, the Jade Dew fruit tree will most likely not bear fruit, but will instead use all its energy to restore itself.

Gu Mo obviously couldn't wait for several years, so it was time for him, the spiritual plant master, to take action.

"Gu Zhen Chuan!"

Seeing Gu Mo coming, Wei Yuan hurried forward and explained the situation of the three jade dew fruit trees to Gu Mo.

"I see."

Gu Mo nodded and came to the three jade dew fruit trees. Then Gu Mo swept his eyes towards one of the fruit trees and used his plant perception. His spiritual sense at the middle stage of foundation building swept over it and suddenly a complex vein map emerged. This was the vein map of the jade dew fruit tree. As a top-quality second-grade spiritual plant, its veins were far more complex than those of first-grade spiritual plants.

"Ok?"

As Gu Mo's spiritual consciousness was released, Wei Yuancai, who was standing by, was stunned. As a foundation-building cultivator, he could naturally sense the existence of spiritual consciousness. Wei Yuancai was not surprised that Gu Mo had spiritual consciousness, as he had shown it before when Gu Mo killed the foundation-building cultivator.

What really surprised Wei Yuan was that at this moment, Gu Mo's spiritual power was even stronger than before, which had already exceeded the scope of the initial stage of foundation building.

However, thinking of Gu Mo's identity, Wei Yuan suppressed his surprise. Perhaps this Gu Zhenchuan was already a foundation-building cultivator.

The noise of breaking through the foundation-building stage will not be as big as that of forming a pill. It is normal for Gu Mo not to know about it when he enters the foundation-building stage with such a foundation. Gu Mo already possessed spiritual consciousness when he reached the great perfection of Qi refining. Now that he has officially become a foundation-building cultivator, it is normal for his spiritual consciousness to be enhanced again.

Well, that's normal for a genius.

Gu Mo carefully observed the vein diagram of the Jade Dew Fruit Tree, and then used the exclusive secret technique of the spiritual plant master to accelerate its growth. Gu Mo had already figured out this secret technique on his own when he had just become a spiritual plant master, and now he had learned the real secret technique of accelerated growth from Qi Chunde.

This allowed Gu Mo to make rapid progress in his practice of this secret art. Now Gu Mo's progress in this secret art has accelerated and he has reached the mastery level, and he is not far from achieving great success.

Once the secret technique of accelerated growth that was close to the great success level was used, combined with Gu Mo's wood-attributed spiritual power containing the breath of the sun, the originally withered Jade Dew Fruit Tree began to bloom again. Gu Mo could clearly sense that the broken roots of the Jade Dew Fruit Tree were rapidly regenerating.

Just wanting to restore the jade dew fruit tree to its original state and cover the size of a spiritual field again requires a lot of spiritual power. If it was before, if Gu Mo wanted to completely restore the jade dew fruit tree, it would take at least several months of continuous accelerated growth.

But now.

"Deacon Wei, just leave this to me. You guys can leave first." Gu Mo said to Wei Yuancai who was standing aside.

"Yes!"

When Wei Yuan saw the Jade Dew fruit tree that had regained its vitality, he recalled that this Gu Zhenchuan once said that he was a spiritual plant master.

A spiritual plant master who can kill a foundation-building cultivator at the great perfection stage of Qi Refining is worthy of being a true disciple. He is so strong in every aspect that it is breathtaking.

After Wei Yuancai left with a group of Qi-refining monks, Gu Mo flipped his hand and a fake pill appeared in his hand. In order to make the Jade Dew Fruit Tree recover quickly, Gu Mo's own spiritual power was obviously not enough, so Gu Mo prepared to borrow the power in the fake pill.

His spiritual consciousness probed into the fake elixir, and soon a ray of spiritual power emitting a faint silver halo flowed into Gu Mo's body. That was the elixir power that only fake elixir cultivators had. Dan power was also spiritual power, and it was a higher level of spiritual power that surpassed the liquid spiritual power of foundation-building cultivators.

If it is a true Jindan monk, the elixir power will be golden, while the elixir power of a fake elixir monk or a Waidan monk will be silver.

But even the silver elixir power, when flowing through his meridians, made Gu Mo feel as if he was carrying the heaviness of a mountain on his back. This was because the quality of the elixir power was too high.

However, once Gu Mo uses the Spirit Forging Method to strengthen his physique to the level of a Fake Dan cultivator, things should be much better.

Slowly pushing the silver pill power into circulation, Gu Mo then injected it little by little into the jade dew fruit tree in front of him to help it grow faster.

"Crash!"

With the infusion of elixir power, the Jade Dew Fruit Tree seemed to have taken some tonic, and the tree trunk could not help but tremble. The 2nd-level spiritual plant absorbed the 3rd-level elixir power, especially the elixir power whose attributes were the same as Gu Mo's spiritual power, both of which were wood-attributed elixir powers containing the breath of the sun.

The effect can be imagined. With the infusion of elixir power, the aura of the Jade Dew Fruit Tree is visibly surging. Invisibly underground, countless roots are also growing wildly.

In just one hour, the roots of the Jade Dew Fruit Tree had recovered to its previous size and even expanded significantly beyond that. This meant that the area of ​​Gu Mo's spiritual field would increase from one acre to one and a half acres.

Unfortunately, due to the limitation of this 2nd grade medium-quality spiritual vein at the resource point, the Jade Dew Fruit Tree cannot be promoted to 2nd grade premium quality. Otherwise, with the help of the accelerated growth secret technique performed by the power of the fake elixir, there is a chance to push the Jade Dew Fruit Tree to 2nd grade premium quality.

A top-quality 2nd-grade Jade Dew fruit tree can at least expand the area of ​​the spiritual field several times. However, getting an extra half acre of 2nd-grade spiritual field is already a good harvest.

After the roots of the jade dew fruit tree recovered, the recovery of the spiritual field was just around the corner. A month later, Gu Mo looked at the spiritual field in front of him where he had replanted plants such as sunflowers and pea shooters, and he suddenly felt a sense of relief in his heart.

After dealing with the matters concerning the spiritual field, Gu Mo will start to deal with his own matters, such as formally entering the foundation-building stage and re-refining his incarnation.
