Plants vs. Cultivation.

Chapter 143 Apprenticeship
"I have seen the true king!"

When Mei Qiuyuan arrived at the villa, several Jindan elders of Qinglu Sect came forward to pay their respects. Those Jindan elders who already knew what had happened were excited at this moment.

This gave the Qinglu Sect, which was in a difficult situation, an opportunity to break out.

Once the erosion of Zhuo Suzhu's heart fire is resolved, with Zhuo Suzhu's foundation, she can completely try to impact the Nascent Soul realm. As long as Zhuo Suzhu can step into the Nascent Soul realm, even if she cannot immediately take back the gate of Qinglu Sect, at least Qinglu Sect has a Nascent Soul in charge and will have the power to protect itself.

"Ok!"

Mei Qiuyuan's eyes quickly swept across the Jindan elders of Qinglu Sect. These Jindan elders, who were high and mighty in the eyes of ordinary disciples, were nothing in front of Mei Qiuyuan, the Yuanying Zhenjun.

"Little girl, come here for a moment."

Soon Mei Qiuyuan saw Chu Feifei in the crowd, or rather, Mei Qiuyuan smelled Chu Feifei first and then saw her.

"Meet the true king!"

Chu Feifei stepped forward. Naturally, she had heard about what had happened. When she learned that a Yuanying Zhenjun from a major overseas sect wanted to take her in as a disciple, Chu Feifei was a little confused.

"Not bad!"

Mei Qiuyuan reached out and pinched Chu Feifei's face. With this simple contact, Mei Qiuyuan was sure that what Yuan Niya said was true. This was indeed a young girl with the Holy Body of Hundred Flowers. Although this little girl's Holy Body of Hundred Flowers was not complete, this was not a problem at all.

With the Baihua Sect's background, it is fully capable of making up for that shortcoming.

"Little girl, are you willing to be my disciple?" After confirming Chu Feifei's situation, Mei Qiuyuan suddenly said solemnly.

Normally, for a Yuanying Zhenjun like her to accept a disciple, she needs to hold a disciple-recruiting ceremony. But if a Hundred Flowers Holy Body like Chu Feifei is brought back to the sect and starts to recruit disciples, her senior and junior sisters will definitely compete with her for the position.

Therefore, Mei Qiuyuan planned to accept Chu Feifei as her disciple now. As for the disciple-taking ceremony, it would not be too late to hold it after she returned.

"Disciple pays homage to Master!"

Faced with an invitation from a Yuanying Zhenjun to accept him as a disciple, almost no one could refuse, and Chu Feifei was no exception. She also learned from the Jindan Elder that only if she became the disciple of the Yuanying Zhenjun in front of him would the latter help to treat Elder Zhuo.

Chu Feifei was very grateful to Elder Zhuo, because it was Elder Zhuo who gave her the treatment of an inner disciple. Now that she could help Elder Zhuo resolve the erosion of his heart fire, Chu Feifei naturally felt obliged to do so, and all she had to pay was to become a disciple of a Yuanying Zhenjun.

This is not a sacrifice at all, but a great opportunity.

"Good disciple!"

Mei Qiuyuan accepted Chu Feifei's apprenticeship gift, and the smile on her lips could no longer be suppressed. Then, Mei Qiuyuan took out a talisman and injected it into Chu Feifei's body.

This is a passively triggered life-saving talisman, which is enough to allow Chu Feifei to escape from the hands of Yuanying Zhenjun. The fact that it allowed Chu Feifei, who was still in the Qi Refining stage, to escape from the hands of Yuanying Zhenjun shows the value of this talisman.

But in Mei Qiuyuan's opinion, Chu Feifei deserves this level of protection.

"Take me to see your master who has been corroded by heart fire." Mei Qiuyuan turned her gaze to Yuan Niya behind her. The Qinglu Sect brought her a disciple with the Holy Body of Hundred Flowers. The favor was too great, and Mei Qiuyuan wanted to repay it as soon as possible.

"Please come this way, Master!"

Seeing that Yuanying Zhenjun was about to take action, Yuan Niya hurriedly led Mei Qiuyuan to the inner room of the villa. Then, they saw Zhuo Suzhu who was in a coma on the bed in the inner room.

"True Lord, how is it?"

Yuan Niya asked nervously. After giving up the Bing Xin Fruit, the Yuanying Zhenjun of the Baihua Sect in front of her was the last hope to awaken her master.

"piece of cake."

Mei Qiuyuan raised her hand, and instantly a strong fragrance spread in the room. Smelling the fragrance, Yuan Niya's nervous emotions calmed down, and her mind became unusually clear. At this moment, she had a lot of enlightenment about some of the confusions she had in her practice.

And Chu Feifei, who was beside Yuan Niya, also exuded a faint fragrance under the influence of this fragrance. Although Chu Feifei's fragrance was faint, it was very clear. Even the fragrance released by Mei Qiuyuan, the Yuanying Zhenjun, could not suppress it.

Mei Qiuyuan was naturally the first to notice Chu Feifei's changes. She was not surprised by this. The introduction of the Holy Body of Hundred Flowers was recorded in the sect's classics. The changes in Chu Feifei at this moment only further confirmed the fact that she possessed the Holy Body of Hundred Flowers.

"go with!"

Mei Qiuyuan gently tapped the sleeping Zhuo Suzhu with her finger, and immediately, the rich fragrance in the room turned into a wisp of smoke and entered Zhuo Suzhu's nose. Then, Zhuo Suzhu's eyelashes trembled slightly.

Seeing this, Mei Qiuyuan stopped and left the house.

"master!"

When Yuan Niya saw that her master was about to wake up, she ran over excitedly.

"I am..."

At Yuan Niya's call, Zhuo Suzhu slowly opened her eyes. She was still a little confused at the moment. At that moment, from the moment Qinglu Sect took action, Zhuo Suzhu had been eroded by the heart fire and her consciousness became blurred.

"I see!"

After listening to Yuan Niya's story, Zhuo Suzhu finally understood what had happened during this period. At this moment, she couldn't help but sigh that an inconspicuous errand disciple had become her savior in the end.

"I am Zhuo Suzhu, a junior, and I am here to meet the True Lord. Thank you for saving my life." After a pause, Zhuo Suzhu left the house and found Mei Qiuyuan who was teaching Chu Feifei in the yard.

In Mei Qiuyuan's opinion, Chu Feifei's foundation was too poor, and everything needed to be started from scratch. Fortunately, Chu Feifei's cultivation level was still very low, so it was not difficult to start from scratch.

"Get up."

Mei Qiuyuan waved her hand, then took out a jade bottle and handed it to Zhuo Suzhu, "This is a bottle of 4th-level fragrant dew. When you strive for the Nascent Soul Realm, it can protect you from the erosion of the heart fire."

Chu Feifei's cause and effect was too great, and Mei Qiuyuan felt that just resolving Zhuo Suzhu's inner fire was not enough.

Therefore, Mei Qiuyuan took out a bottle of 4th-grade perfume that she had mixed herself. The value of this grade of perfume would definitely not be lower than that of top-grade elixirs of the same level.

Especially for Zhuo Suzhu, the value of this fragrant dew is comparable to a Nascent Soul Pill, because the biggest obstacle for Zhuo Suzhu to impact the Nascent Soul is the erosion of the heart fire. Once the erosion of the heart fire is resolved, Zhuo Suzhu's entry into the Nascent Soul realm is not a foregone conclusion, but it is also a high probability event.

"Thank you for the reward, Master!"

Zhuo Suzhu took the jade bottle with trembling hands. This was her opportunity, her path, and she knew the meaning of these words very well: not to be eroded by the fire in her heart.

"In this case, the cause and effect has been resolved. Let us go, my disciple." After Mei Qiuyuan gave out the fragrant dew, the cause and effect was considered resolved. Then, she would also take Chu Feifei back to the sect to train her well.

"Sister Niya, if you see Gu Mo, tell her that my master and I went to Baihua Sect." Chu Feifei sent a message to Yuan Niya. She had already said goodbye to him. Only Gu Mo, Chu Feifei had not said goodbye to him yet, but she didn't know where Gu Mo was now. So, she could only ask Yuan Niya to help pass the message.

"Don't worry, we will go to Baihua Sect to find you when we have time." Yuan Niya waved to Chu Feifei, feeling a little nostalgic for the three practitioners they had once created.

However, this is Chu Feifei's opportunity, and all Yuan Niya has to do is congratulate her.

"Disciple, come here!"

Mei Qiuyuan took Chu Feifei away. At this time, Zhuo Suzhu called Yuan Niya to the room, and then handed the bottle of 4th-level perfume to Yuan Niya.

"Master, Master, what are you doing?" Seeing this, Yuan Niya was a little confused.

"This is for you to practice the Heart Fire Art." Zhuo Suzhu stuffed the jade bottle into Yuan Niya's hand. Chu Feifei left. Then, in the future, when Yuan Niya practiced the Heart Fire Art, she would not be able to use the strange fragrance on Chu Feifei's body to suppress the heart fire.

But the 4th-order fragrant dew left by Mei Qiuyuan, the Yuanying Zhenjun, can be used to suppress the heart fire. This bottle of 4th-order fragrant dew is enough for Yuan Niya to use until she reaches the Great Perfection of the Golden Core, and it can even help her when she breaks through to the Yuanying realm in the future.

"Master, this is what you use to reach the Nascent Soul stage. How can you give it to your disciple?" Yuan Niya waved her hand. Compared to her, the master needed this fragrant dew more. The Qinglu Sect also urgently needed to give birth to a Nascent Soul cultivator.

"Master's inner fire erosion has now been cleared, and the resources left by the sect are enough for me to reach the Nascent Soul stage." After the initial excitement of obtaining the 4th-level fragrant dew, Zhuo Suzhu found that giving this 4th-level fragrant dew to Yuan Niya was the best choice.

Zhuo Suzhu uses this 4th-tier fragrant dew just to give her an extra layer of insurance when she tries to form the Nascent Soul. Without this insurance, with Zhuo Suzhu's background, she would have a good chance of forming the Nascent Soul even if she used ordinary resources.

But Qinglu Sect has her as a Nascent Soul, so at most they have means to protect themselves. It is almost impossible for them to take back the mountain gate from Fenghua Sect, which has two Nascent Soul True Lords.

Zhuo Suzhu, who practiced the Heart Fire Art, will be stronger than ordinary Nascent Soul True Lords after he is promoted to the Nascent Soul stage. However, the Nascent Soul True Lords from the Fenghua Sect overseas will not be inferior in means and background.

Zhuo Suzhu was confident that she could deal with one, but she was helpless against two. Especially when it came to taking back the mountain gate, she would also have to face the mountain protection formation, which she could not do alone.

Therefore, Zhuo Suzhu planned to use the sect's Nascent Soul resources to reach the Yuanying realm, and give the 4th-level fragrant dew to Yuan Niya.

Yuan Niya's foundation is better than that of her master. From the very beginning of her practice, she met Gu Mo and Chu Feifei. Not only did she lay a solid foundation, but she also had not been eroded by the slightest bit of inner fire.

This means that Yuan Niya has a great hope of becoming a Yuanying Zhenjun in the future. Once Qinglu Sect has two Yuanying Zhenjuns, that will be the time for Qinglu Sect to take back the mountain gate.

For this reason, Zhuo Suzhu was willing to bear the slight risks of not using the 4th-level fragrant dew to impact the Nascent Soul realm. The mountain gate of Qinglu Sect was Zhuo Suzhu's home, where she and many of her brothers and sisters were stored. Now that her home was occupied by evil people, she naturally wanted to take it back.

"Master, I will definitely practice hard." After hearing Zhuo Suzhu's words, Yuan Niya did not refuse anymore. Becoming stronger and then taking back the mountain gate has become the obsession of every Qinglu Sect disciple at this moment.

"Senior Sister Zhuo!"

When Zhuo Suzhu took Yuan Niya out of the house, several Jindan elders immediately saluted. Zhuo Suzhu's awakening made those Jindan elders find their backbone.

"Go back. From now on, the sect will shrink its strength to reduce the possibility of exposure." Zhuo Suzhu said. The erosion of the heart fire in her body had been eliminated, but it would take time to make up for the loss over the years. Only when her condition was restored to its peak, would Zhuo Suzhu begin to impact the Nascent Soul realm.

During this period, they have to hide themselves as much as possible. Now is the darkness before dawn. As long as Zhuo Suzhu successfully enters the Nascent Soul realm, the Qinglu Sect will no longer have to hide like this.

The main city of Xiancheng, level 3 villa.

"Is there still no news about the remnants of the Qinglu Sect?" He Shaogang had a gloomy face. The failure of the Bingxin Fruit plan made him very angry. The loss this time was really too great.

At this moment, some people have been questioning his ability behind his back. A sect, especially a large one, naturally has various factions within it. With his great contribution in helping the sect seize the Qinglu Sect's spiritual land, He Shaogang surpassed everyone in one fell swoop and became the candidate for the next leader.

But this does not mean that others are convinced. Those who were once more talented and stronger than He Shaogang are not very convinced.

Originally, they were the candidates for the leader, but now He Shaogang has interfered. How could they be willing? However, He Shaogang's contribution was indeed too great and they could not refute it.

But now that He Shaogang's plan has failed, it is natural that he will have to take advantage of the situation.

No matter how great the achievements are, they cannot prevent repeated failures. The previous fishing plan using the special mark of Qinglu Sect failed, resulting in the deaths of many disciples of the sect, and finally the loss of a fake Dan elder.

This time the plan for the Bing Xin Fruit failed again. The previous failure resulted in the loss of lives, and this time the loss was money. After the great achievement of capturing the Qinglu Sect's mountain gate, He Shaogang made a series of stupid moves, causing heavy losses in personnel and property to the sect.

If this happens a few more times, He Shaogang's status as the successor to the head of the sect will probably be in jeopardy.

After all, Fenghua Sect would never allow someone who has always brought losses to the sect to sit in such an important position as the Sect Leader.

It is precisely because he knows this that He Shaogang is so angry at this moment.

"Young Master, all the traces of Qinglu Sect that were discovered before have suddenly disappeared. Qinglu Sect must have chosen to retreat completely." Yao Shifeng bowed and replied.

In fact, they had already grasped some traces of the remnants of Qinglu Sect. It would not take long for them to follow these traces and find the location of Qinglu Sect. However, they never expected that these traces suddenly disappeared.

This means that Qinglu Sect has recalled all the disciples outside and chosen to retreat completely. This retreat tactic is very fatal to a sect.

If you don't come out to get spiritual stones and resources, you will just sit there and do nothing, and even the most wealthy person will eventually lose everything. But the good thing is that if you don't take action, you won't leave any traces and you won't be exposed.

"Forget it. They are dying a slow death." He Shaogang took a deep breath. The Qinglu Sect's defensive tactics were not bad news for He Shaogang. The Qinglu Sect would gradually deplete itself and would become weaker and weaker, posing less and less of a threat.

The Qinglu Sect chose to stay in hiding, and it was impossible to make any major progress, so He Shaogang turned his attention to another place.

"Let's go and visit the spiritual plant master of the Lu family." He Shaogang stood up and said to Yao Shifeng beside him.
