Chapter 122 Fake Alchemy Monk
The problem of the body being unable to bear the weight of the fake pill is actually very easy to solve. That is to use the power of the fake pill to temper the body. This is also the practice of external pill cultivators after a successful sacrifice.

Allowing the external elixir in the body to strengthen oneself in all aspects is like the improvement brought about by a breakthrough in realm. The foundation-building cultivators refine the external elixir and become external elixir cultivators, which can also be regarded as a breakthrough in realm.

It is just a normal realm breakthrough, and there will be rewards from the heaven and earth. For example, when Qi Refining breaks through to Foundation Establishment, liquid spiritual power containing the original force will condense. This original force is the reward from the heaven and earth.

This kind of reward from heaven and earth brings the strongest improvement, and because the external alchemy cultivators use shortcuts to break through, they cannot obtain the unknown reward from heaven and earth. The improvement of their breakthrough can only come from that external elixir.

How can the reward given by a 3rd-level external elixir be compared with the reward from heaven and earth? Naturally, the foundation of external elixir cultivators is the lowest in the golden elixir level. Fake elixir cultivators are stronger than external elixir cultivators. After all, fake elixir cultivators can also be considered to have broken through through normal means.

It’s just because of insufficient foundation that it is impossible to condense the real golden elixir.

However, in Gu Mo's case, the situation was rather special. Although he practiced the art of external alchemy, he was not considered an external alchemy practitioner, but more like a fake alchemy practitioner.

After all, what was in Gu Mo's body was not the external pill of a monster, but a real fake pill, and it was his own fake pill.

Unfortunately, after Gu Mo's incarnation condensed the fake pill, it was blown up by the terrifying explosion of spiritual power. The incarnation did not receive the breakthrough reward given by the heaven and earth in the dark, or it can be said that this preserved fake pill is the reward from the dark.

Without the reward for a breakthrough, Gu Mo's fake elixir incarnation would be slightly inferior to a real fake elixir cultivator in terms of combat power, but slightly stronger than a foreign elixir cultivator.

But no matter whether it is fake elixir or external elixir, it can crush cultivators at the foundation-building level. After all, there is a big gap in realm between the two.

Closing his eyes, Gu Mo struggled to push the Dan power to circulate in his body, and at the same time he circulated the Spirit Forging Technique to strengthen his body. It was still a little difficult for his soul, which was at the middle stage of foundation building, to control the power of Dan power. If this Dan power was not cultivated by Gu Mo himself, with such a big gap in realm, he might not be able to push it at all.

However, when the incarnation's body adapts to the power of the fake pill, the powerful physical body will feed back to the soul, and the increase in the strength of the incarnation's soul is equivalent to increasing the strength of the original soul. The physical body and cultivation of the original body are separate from the incarnation, but the soul is unified.

As time passed, Gu Mo continued to use the power of the fake elixir to temper his body with the Spirit Forging Technique, allowing his body strength to approach the level of a fake elixir cultivator.

As his physical strength grew, his spiritual strength also increased, just as Gu Mo had expected.

"Chief, the target has come out!"

Hua Daoliang looked at the communication jade talisman in his hand and couldn't help but let out a long sigh. That cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building had made him wait for a whole year. Several times, Hua Daoliang wanted to rush into the cave and pull that person out.

However, Hua Daoliang resisted the impulse in his heart. This market was his, Hua Daoliang's, roots, and he didn't want this market to be destroyed because of his impulse.

Fortunately, the target finally appeared, so it was time to take his 3rd-level demon pill. At this moment, Hua Daoliang had already regarded the 3rd-level demon pill that might exist in Gu Mo's hand as his own.

During this year, Hua Daoliang did not just sit and wait, but investigated Gu Mo's background in detail to prevent any background behind him. Although in Hua Daoliang's opinion, a cultivator who was preparing to practice external alchemy could not be an important member of a major force.

But having lived for so long, Hua Daoliang knows the importance of being cautious.

After some investigation, Hua Daoliang has been able to confirm that the target is most likely a casual cultivator. At least there is no such person in the nearby sects or immortal cultivation families.

This result is enough for Hua Daoliang. He needs to be careful when taking action, but he cannot be timid. This involves a rank 3 demon pill and whether he can become an outer pill cultivator. Even if he takes some risks, it is acceptable.

"It's been a year, and you're still not willing to give up?"

Gu Mo walked out of Yuquanfang Market with a frown on his face. The aura that had been following him a year ago had not disappeared yet, which made Gu Mo a little angry.

Gu Mo is now a Fake Dan cultivator. His physique and cultivation have reached the level of a Fake Dan cultivator. Only his spirit is slightly lacking, and is only at the late stage of foundation building. Because the improvement of the spirit begins after the physique, the progress is naturally slower.

But as time goes by, the soul will eventually reach the false elixir level.

Those External Alchemy monks who practice the art of external alchemy are basically in the same situation. With the nourishment of external elixirs, their physical body and soul will reach the corresponding level. However, at that time the strength of the External Alchemy monks will also reach its limit.

After that, the cultivation level of the Wai Dan cultivator could not be further improved. This was the shortcoming of Wai Dan. The same was true for Gu Mo's incarnation, except that he was refining his own fake Dan, so Gu Mo's physique and soul could be improved to the fake Dan level.

The incarnation stopped at the false elixir realm, but Gu Mo didn't care about it. This incarnation helped Gu Mo to nourish his soul to the false elixir level. This alone fully demonstrated the value of this incarnation.

A powerful soul means a powerful consciousness. At that time, it will be easier for Gu Mo to break through his cultivation. Even personally experiencing the realm of a fake elixir cultivator at this moment will also have a great promoting effect on Gu Mo's own cultivation.

It can be said that Gu Mo is using the incarnation to help the original body build a strong foundation. Now it is the foundation of soul and spirit. After this fake pill incarnation goes back, it can also use the pill power to help the original body temper the body and allow it to obtain a strong physical foundation.

By the time Gu Mo reaches the foundation-building stage, he will possess the physique and soul of a fake pill level, and his combat power will definitely reach an extremely powerful level.

Without finding the stalker directly, Gu Mo, who has become a fake Dan monk, is no longer afraid of being followed. He wants to see who has been staring at him.

Taking out the magic flying sword, Gu Mo performed the sword-controlling technique and left Yuquanfang City. Gu Mo, who had already reached the Fake Dan realm, could only use this low-grade magic flying sword as his means of transportation.

With Gu Mo's current realm as a fake elixir cultivator, it is difficult for him to unleash his full strength with low-grade magic weapons. Only higher-grade magic weapons can increase Gu Mo's combat power. However, high-grade magic weapons are very expensive, and Gu Mo's wealth is obviously not enough.

But if someone could come and deliver the treasure, that would be another matter. Gu Mo felt the figure following him, and the person following him had changed. It was no longer the one who was stalking in Yuquanfang City, but someone with a stronger aura. Unfortunately, Gu Mo's spiritual sense was still a little weak, and he could not accurately detect the target.

But even his spiritual sense in the late stage of foundation building could not detect it, so the one following him should be a cultivator who has reached the great perfection of foundation building. As for the cultivator in the Golden Core realm, he should not be following a cultivator who is obviously in the middle stage of foundation building.

Gu Mo is now practicing the Breath-Concealing Technique at the advanced stage, concealing his aura as a fake elixir cultivator, leaving only the aura of a mid-stage foundation building cultivator revealed.

"Stopped?"

In the distance, Hua Daoliang looked at the figure in front of him and stopped, frowning. Then he carefully looked around and found no ambush.

After thinking about it, he realized that this place was far enough from the market town, and if something happened, no one would think it was the market town's problem. After making the decision to take action, Hua Daoliang did not hesitate and accelerated his body, blocking Gu Mo directly.

"You have been following me for so long, what are you doing?" Gu Mo did not kill the other person immediately, but asked why he was following him. Gu Mo had just come out to travel, and he had not offended anyone, but someone was targeting him. This puzzled Gu Mo, and he did not know what was wrong with him.

"You must have a level 3 demon pill on you, right? If you hand it over, I can let you live." Hua Daoliang, who was covered in a black robe, said coldly.

Since he came here to rob, Hua Daoliang naturally would not show his true face. After all, many people knew him, and it would be very troublesome if he was seen by others.

"Level 3 demon pill?"

Hearing this, Gu Mo was stunned, then he realized that the source of everything was the external alchemy technique he bought, which made people mistakenly think that he possessed a third-level demon pill, so they came to snatch it.

However, the fact that he purchased the external alchemy technique was only known by the Treasure House, and it was said that the Yuquan Market was behind the Treasure House. With this in mind, Gu Mo could probably guess the other party's identity.

"It is said that Master Yuquan has passed away. It seems that this is true?" For the sake of a rank 3 demon pill, the owner of Yuquan Market actually became a robbery cultivator. It is obvious that the news of Master Yuquan's death that has been circulating in the market should be true.

This is because he knew that he had lost his backer, so he hurried over to snatch the 3rd-level demon pill from him, wanting to create an external pill cultivator to rule the market.

"Don't you know that smart people die quickly?" Hearing Gu Mo's words, Hua Daoliang's eyes flashed with murderous intent. This person couldn't be kept alive. Or Hua Daoliang didn't even think about leaving someone alive. Only the dead could keep secrets.

"People with poor eyesight actually die faster." Gu Mo glanced at the other person indifferently, and then the flying sword in his hand shone brightly. The low-grade magical flying sword, under the infusion of elixir power, has completely stimulated its power and even entered a certain overclocking state.

"what!"

As Gu Mo took action, the effect of the Breath-Concealing Technique could no longer be maintained, and Hua Daoliang naturally sensed Gu Mo's true breath. After discovering that the person in front of him was not a cultivator in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment, but a Fake Dan cultivator, the ferocity on Hua Daoliang's face instantly disappeared, and was replaced by fear.

This is definitely a hit or miss.

"Tear!"

Without any hesitation, Hua Daoliang quickly tore open a level 3 defensive talisman, and instantly the talisman turned into a ray of light that enveloped Hua Daoliang.

As the owner of Yuquanfang City, Hua Daoliang is definitely a cultivator with a wealthy family. It is normal for him to carry a few talismans that can resist the attacks of Jindan cultivators.

It’s a pity that the strongest trump card left for him by Master Yuquan was used up, otherwise, he could have fought back.

"boom!"

The moment the light curtain appeared on Hua Daoliang's body, Gu Mo's flying sword slashed straight over. Under the bombardment of the flying sword, the light curtain began to fluctuate violently, which made Hua Daoliang's heart tremble. Fortunately, the talisman light curtain blocked the attack.

"so troublesome!"

When he guessed the other party's origin, Gu Mo knew that it would not be an easy task to kill this cultivator who had reached the great perfection of the foundation-building stage. Rich cultivators have many trump cards in their hands. For example, this valuable third-level talisman is not something that ordinary cultivators can afford.

However, the power of the talisman is limited, and it will break after a few more times. Hua Daoliang knew this very well, so after blocking Gu Mo's attack, he quickly took out a level 3 escape talisman and prepared to run away.

Although Hua Daoliang has reached the great perfection of foundation building and has many trump cards in his hand, he does not think that he can compete with a fake elixir cultivator. The only thing he can do is to escape back to the market town and use the market town formation to resist.

Although his cultivation level of the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment cannot fully unleash the power of the formation left by True Man Yuquan, and cannot stop a real Jindan cultivator, it is still no problem to deal with a fake Jindan cultivator.

Just as Hua Daoliang was about to activate the third-level life-saving talisman to escape, a bright red cherry appeared in front of him. The sudden appearance of the fruit made Hua Daoliang stunned.

But soon Hua Daoliang's face changed suddenly, because he had already felt the terrifying power that was about to explode from the cherry. Without hesitation, Hua Daoliang quickly activated the escape talisman in his hand to save his life. However, at this time, a blazing wave of fire hit, causing Hua Daoliang's escape light to slow down for a while.

"Boom!"

The delay of his escape light prevented him from escaping the range of the explosion. In an instant, the explosion containing the power of annihilation engulfed Hua Daoliang. Then a shattering sound was heard. That shattering sound was the sound of Hua Daoliang's 3rd-level defensive talisman light curtain shattering.

"go with!"

As the sound of the light curtain shattering was heard, Gu Mo swung his sword directly and the next moment a human head flew out from the aftermath of the explosion.

After killing the target, Gu Mo quickly went forward to touch the corpse and found a storage bracelet. This is a more advanced storage equipment than a storage bag. He is worthy of being the owner of the market town, he is rich.

Of course, this kind of advanced equipment is also very difficult to crack, and it is not as easy as a storage bag.

In addition, the black robe on the target is also a magic weapon that can conceal the breath. However, it is not very useful to Gu Mo. The great level of Breath Concealment Technique can crush the effect of the black robe.

In addition, the target also has a jade pendant on him, which should have the effect of resisting attacks from the soul. He is indeed a rich man with many treasures on him.

But more treasures should be in this storage bracelet. After the other party discovered that Gu Mo was a fake Dan monk, he did not take out the magic weapon for combat, but chose to escape directly. Therefore, there should be a magic weapon of good quality in this storage bracelet.

It just so happened that Gu Mo had become a fake elixir cultivator and was in need of a handy magic weapon.

After confirming that nothing was missed, Gu Mo used a small flame wave to burn Hua Daoliang's body. After cleaning up the scene, he quickly left.

Because this place is remote, there is no need to worry about being discovered in the short term, but over time all traces will be wiped out by the power of nature.
