Plants vs. Cultivation.

Chapter 151 Alchemist's Identity

"Tell me more about that real person's situation."

Shi Yunjie stood at the bow of the treasure ship, looking at the island in the distance, and said to the Qi-refining monk beside him. That unknown Jindan Zhenren has eliminated a big trouble for the entire Hongshan Islands, but Shi Yunjie is also a little worried in his heart, whether this Zhenren will become another big trouble.

Therefore, before officially contacting that real person, Shi Yunjie needed to obtain more information about that real person so that he could make corresponding countermeasures.

"Yes!"

Faced with the Alliance Leader's Nth question, the Qi Refining Monk did not dare to be negligent and repeated everything he had seen on the island.

Soon the treasure ship arrived at the island, and immediately, several mortals on the island quickly ran over to report the news as soon as possible. The Qi-refining monk had just returned alone.

As for the few mortals and sacrifices who were traveling with them, they were left on the island.

At this moment, last year's sacrificial girl was playing with this year's sacrificial little Lolita on the island beach. At this moment, a dark figure suddenly rushed out and hugged the sacrificial little Lolita.

"My dear granddaughter, grandpa is here to pick you up." The dark-skinned man hugged his lost granddaughter with an excited look on his face.

This was not only his granddaughter, but also a talented cultivator in their family who possessed spiritual talent. It was only because of the giant lizard that he had to bear the pain and send this little granddaughter as a sacrifice.

"Master's Dojo, don't be rude!" Shi Yunjie shouted.

Hearing this, the dark-skinned man quickly calmed down and pulled his granddaughter to stand behind Shi Yunjie, "Little girl, we meet again." Shi Yunjie turned his gaze to the girl. Shi Yunjie had seen this girl before she was sent away as a sacrifice last year.

"I've met the leader!"

The girl bowed slightly. She did not have any good feelings towards these people in front of her. After all, they were the ones who took her away from her parents, sent her here as a sacrifice, and told her not to run away, otherwise, many people would die because of her, including her parents.

Fortunately, she did not encounter the ferocious giant lizard monster, but met an immortal. The immortal not only took her in, but also taught her immortal magic. At this moment, the girl has become a cultivator in the middle stage of Qi Refining, and her physique has reached the late stage of Qi Refining.

This was all thanks to Gu Mo's Ruby Pills. The Level 2 Ruby Pill raised the girl's physique to the late stage of Qi Refining. It can only be said that the girl's willpower was still not good enough, and a lot of the medicinal power was wasted.

Shi Yunjie was not surprised by the girl's cold attitude. At that time, in order to make the girl accept her fate of being a sacrifice, he naturally threatened her. After all, if the sacrifice escaped without permission, who knows how many people in the entire Hongshan Islands would suffer.

But things are unpredictable. The giant lizard that made the entire Red Coral Islands breathless was killed, and the sacrificial girl not only survived, but also got a great opportunity.

As a cultivator who had reached the great perfection of foundation building, Shi Yunjie naturally saw the cultivation level of the girl in front of him and her physique that exceeded his cultivation level. It had only been a year, and even if the other party had a mid-grade spiritual root, the speed of cultivation was a bit too fast.

It was obvious that the girl could not do all this on her own. It was obvious that this was a reward from the real person.

"I wonder if the master is here?" Shi Yunjie bowed.

He didn't know what position this girl held in the immortal's heart, but the immortal was willing to teach her the method of cultivation. At least this girl was still highly regarded by the immortal, so naturally Shi Yunjie could not neglect her.

"Please follow me, Lord."

The girl appeared here at this moment, not only to help look after the sacrificial little Loli, but also to lead the way.

"Thank you."

Shi Yunjie nodded, then followed the girl to the center of the island. Soon the girl brought Shi Yunjie and others to her cabin.

Gu Mo naturally couldn't bring outsiders into the lake, but it was not appropriate to entertain guests outside the island, so Gu Mo used this place as a temporary meeting place.

"Meet the real person!"

When Shi Yunjie saw the young figure sitting in front of the hut, he bowed hurriedly. He had already known from the description of the Qi-refining cultivator next to him that this person was the Jindan Zhenren who killed the Level 3 giant lizard.

"I am traveling and visiting here. I plan to stay here for a while. As a local, please tell me about the situation here." Gu Mo did not let the other party sit down. At this moment, Gu Mo's external image was that of a Jindan Zhenren. A foundation-building cultivator was naturally not qualified to sit with him.

Shi Yunjie did not feel offended at all about this. After all, this was the rule of the world of immortal cultivation.

"Yes!"

Shi Yunjie organized his words and began to introduce the situation of this area to Gu Mo. Through his narration, Gu Mo had a general understanding of this place.

This also includes the island where he is. This island did not exist originally. It emerged from the sea due to an earthquake in the earth veins more than ten years ago.

At that time, Shi Yunjie also came here to explore with several fake elixir and outer elixir monks from the Hongshan Islands. After learning that there was a third-level water vein on this island, the entire Hongshan Islands were shocked.

In order to fight for this island, a war almost broke out among the various parties in the Red Sand Islands. However, the battle was calmed down only after a level 3 giant lizard appeared and occupied the island. Afterwards, under the huge threat of the giant lizard, the various parties formed an alliance to deal with the level 3 giant lizard together.

Unfortunately, the Level 3 giant lizard was too powerful. Almost all the fake elixir and outer elixir cultivators of the Hongshan Islands died in the battle with the giant lizard and lost their golden elixir-level combat power. The Hongshan Islands had no means to contend with the giant lizard and could only pay a huge price to ask the golden elixir real people from other islands to take action.

Finally, under the mediation of Jindan Zhenren, the Hongshan Islands offered a high-quality sacrifice every year in exchange for the giant lizard's refusal to take action.

"Are there other immortal cultivation forces outside of the Hongshan Islands?" Gu Mo asked after hearing this.

"Replying to Master, the Hongshan Islands are just a very remote archipelago. There are many similar archipelagos to the west of the Hongshan Islands. Many of them are much larger in number and area than our Hongshan Islands, and the spiritual energy there is also richer than here. However, those archipelagos are basically occupied by various sea monsters, and there are very few human cultivators." Shi Yunjie nodded and continued to introduce to Gu Mo.

After listening to Shi Yunjie's introduction about the areas farther away, Gu Mo was thoughtful. Those archipelagos where sirens and human monks coexisted were obviously high-risk areas, but the Hongshan Islands belonged to the territory of all human monks. In addition, there were also a large number of mortals in the Hongshan Islands.

Over the years, apart from the level 3 giant lizard, he has not encountered any other situations, so Gu Mo feels relatively safe here.

Even if the 3rd level water veins here are noticed by some 3rd level sea monsters, Gu Mo can deal with them now. Overall, this is indeed the most suitable place for him to secretly accumulate strength. Although those islands farther away have higher-grade 3rd level water veins, there are also many powerful enemies around. Gu Mo can become stronger as long as he farms peacefully, and there is no need to participate in the fight.

“This tier 3 water vein originally belongs to you, and I will not take advantage of you. If you have any spiritual medicine, you can bring it to me, and I can refine some pills for you.” He learned that the cultivator in front of him who had reached the great perfection of foundation building was the highest authority in the Hongshan Islands.

Gu Mo also revealed his identity as an alchemist.

"Thank you so much for your gift, Master!"

Upon hearing that the Jindan Zhenren in front of him was willing to refine pills for them, Shi Yunjie was stunned at first, and then he fell down in ecstasy. This was definitely an opportunity for all the cultivators in the entire Hongshan Islands.

The Red Coral Islands have abundant spiritual energy. After all, the entire archipelago is made up of piles of low-level spiritual material red corals. The abundant spiritual environment naturally nourishes many spiritual medicines.

However, there are no powerful alchemists in the Hongshan Islands, and they are unable to maximize the utilization of those elixirs, resulting in slow growth in the cultivation of the monks in the Hongshan Islands.

If there was a powerful alchemist in the Hongshan Islands, perhaps a Golden Elixir True Person could be born in the Hongshan Islands, and then the previous giant lizard disaster would not have happened.

But it is not too late now. The giant lizard has been killed, and there is a Jindan Zhenren in front of him who is willing to help make elixirs. I think the overall strength of the Hongshan Islands will be improved soon.

I just don't know if the real person in front of me can refine the golden elixir. Shi Yunjie, who has already reached the great perfection of foundation building, has the greatest desire in this life, which is to get an elixir that can help him break through the golden elixir realm.

To this end, he has accumulated a lot of precious materials over the years, some of which he even stole from some sea monsters' territories at great risk of his life. However, having precious materials is useless without an alchemist to refine them into pills.

Shi Yunjie also wanted to go to the more distant archipelago to find a powerful alchemist to help him refine the alchemy, but Shi Yunjie soon gave up this idea. As a foundation-building cultivator with no background, there was a high possibility that he would not be able to come back alive if he took the precious materials with him.

The archipelago area further away is notoriously chaotic.

But now, Shi Yunjie saw an opportunity. This real person was not only an alchemist, but also did not look like a bad person.

Of course, one can never judge a person by his appearance. Shi Yunjie plans to observe for some time before making a final decision. After all, it concerns his hope of achieving the Golden Core stage.

"Yuwei, you are responsible for this matter." Gu Mo turned his eyes to the girl beside him. Originally, Gu Mo planned to let this girl go back with Shi Yunjie, but when he thought about refining pills for the monks in Hongshan Islands, he couldn't let himself do all the work of receiving some spiritual medicines.

Gu Mo planned to let the girl stay. After all, the girl was now a real cultivator and could be of some use.

"Yes!"

When Shi Yuwei heard that the immortal had given her a task, her worries were completely put at ease. She had been worried that the immortal would drive her away.

Shi Yuwei knew very well that this was her place of opportunity, and being an immortal was the greatest opportunity in her life. When she was chosen as a sacrifice, her parents had already received generous financial rewards, enough for them to live a rich life, and she also had younger brothers and sisters around her to be filial to them.

So, even if she didn't go back, it didn't really matter. After all, she wasn't very popular, and her parents had always wanted her to marry a rich man so that the family would become wealthy. Now her parents' wish had come true, and she had fulfilled her parents' expectations.

After witnessing the grace of the immortals, she had already developed a firm desire to pursue the truth.

"Miss Yuwei, please forgive me for what happened before. I had no choice." Following Master Yuwei out of the lakeside cottage, Shi Yunjie coughed lightly, then took out a magic hairpin made of red coral.

Now that Shi Yuwei has become the real person's spokesperson, Shi Yunjie naturally has to resolve some unpleasantness with her.

"Master Alliance Leader, there is no need to be like this. Yuwei does not bear any grudge against you. Instead, she wants to thank you. Otherwise, Yuwei would not have such an opportunity." Shi Yuwei waved her hand.

Shi Yunjie sent her as a sacrifice, so Shi Yuwei was naturally afraid and terrified. But now thinking about it, if it weren't for this encounter, she would not have met the immortal, let alone the opportunity she has now. Therefore, Shi Yuwei no longer has any dissatisfaction with Shi Yunjie.

As for how close we are, that's naturally not the case.

"So good!"

Shi Yunjie smiled and stuffed the magic hairpin into Shi Yuwei's hands, then led his men on the treasure ship to leave the island.

"If I had known, I would have sent my granddaughter here last year." The dark-skinned man stood on the treasure ship, gazing at the islands in the distance, muttering to himself.

If he had not found the girl among the mortals last year, then his granddaughter would have been the sacrifice last year. At that time, would this opportunity have belonged to his granddaughter?

Unfortunately, chance and luck are mysterious and unpredictable, and the dark-skinned man could only sigh that his little granddaughter was not blessed enough.

After coming into contact with the immortal forces of the Hongshan Islands, life returned to peace. The only difference was that every once in a while, a treasure ship would arrive, bringing a large amount of elixirs.

Gu Mo refined these elixirs into various kinds of pills. The large-scale refining allowed Gu Mo's alchemy skills to improve rapidly. In particular, Gu Mo used the torch tree stump to refine the pills. The cost of refining was extremely low and the success rate was extremely high, which led to Gu Mo hoarding a lot of level 1 and level 2 pills.

However, these pills are of no use at all to Gu Mo, whose physique has reached the Golden Core stage and whose soul is also transforming towards the Golden Core stage.

In fact, at this moment, Gu Mo has accumulated a lot of golden elixir power in his body, which means that Gu Mo can now briefly burst out the combat power of a true golden elixir master.

Now Gu Mo is waiting for all the meridians in his body to be filled with the golden elixir power, and then he will be ready to start striving for the real golden elixir realm.

While Gu Mo was busy practicing and refining pills, a figure was walking on the sea from afar, and his destination was the Hongshan Islands. "Next year will be Master Chisha's thousand-year birthday. By then, I will offer these mortals from the Hongshan Islands as blood food, which will surely please Master, and maybe even give me a chance to break through."

The figure walking on the sea looked at the Red Coral Islands getting closer and closer, with a hint of pride in his heart. He had spent a lot of effort for these Red Coral Islands.

Disperse the nearby sea monsters so that the humans here can reproduce quickly, send out level 3 giant lizards to eliminate the cultivators who have reached the Golden Core level in the Hongshan Islands, and require the Hongshan Islands to pay tribute to a seedling with spiritual roots every year to cut off the possibility of the emergence of Golden Core cultivators in the Hongshan Islands.

After so many years of cultivation, it is finally time to harvest.
