Plants vs. Cultivation.

Chapter 158 Golden Scissors
In fact, the information that Shi Yuwei obtained about human monks from other sea areas coming to join Gu Mo was already outdated information.

To be precise, the Cancer Islands are now gradually becoming a gathering place for human monks.

When the news of General Jin Claw's death spread and the murderer who killed General Jin Claw entered the Cancer Islands, the sirens in the Cancer Islands fled one after another. After all, no sirens would stay with a murderer who could kill General Jin Claw.

Therefore, there are not many sirens to be seen in the Cancer Islands today.

This vacant space was occupied by the human monks who came to seek refuge with Gu Mo, and gradually formed a gathering area for human monks.

Speaking of human monks in the sea, they have always had a miserable life. Faced with sea monsters that far exceed their own in number and strength, human monks can only hide in a corner to survive.

But now a great demon who can kill General Jinzhao, who has peak combat power, has appeared. This has given those human monks hope. The reason why they have been bullied all the time is that the human monks lack a pillar.

Gu Mo is now the pillar in the hearts of those monks, so all the monks come here without any prior arrangement, hoping to get Gu Mo's protection.

In this regard, Gu Mo naturally would not make any promises, nor did he go to meet those monks. After all, he would leave sooner or later, and he did not want these people to place their hopes on him.

Moreover, the more human monks there are here, the more likely it is to provoke a counterattack by the sirens. The Cancer Islands are not marginal islands like the Red Coral Islands. The occupation of this place by human monks is still a great stimulation to the sirens.

Of course, with Gu Mo here, there isn't much of a problem, but after Gu Mo leaves, it's hard to say what will happen.

The monks were not disappointed when they did not see Gu Mo. It was not easy to meet such a strong man. The protection they wanted was not a promise from Gu Mo himself. As long as they settled nearby, they would get it.

After all, the Cancer Islands are now a forbidden area for the sirens in this sea area. They can practice here in peace without worrying about being attacked by sirens.

Ignoring the monks outside, Gu Mo turned his attention to the golden claws in his hand. After obtaining the pair of golden claws from General Golden Claws, Gu Mo has been studying them. The golden claws remained intact during both General Golden Claws' self-destruction and the explosion of the cherry bomb. There must be a secret hidden in them.

After such a long period of research, Gu Mo also discovered some clues. It seemed that there was a treasure hidden in the golden claw. It was the treasure that made the golden claw become like this.

However, the treasure was fused with the golden claw, so it was not easy to take it out.

If the treasure hidden in the golden claws is not taken out, the pair of golden claws cannot be refined. Gu Mo can't fight with others while carrying a pair of golden claws.

"and many more!"

Suddenly, Gu Mo thought of a solution. This golden claw had merged with a treasure. Doesn't that mean that the golden claw itself is a treasure? Then, can he use the method of refining the treasure to take out the treasure hidden in the golden claw?

Thinking of this, Gu Mo squeezed out a drop of blood and placed it on the golden claw, then began the ritual.

"can!"

Looking at the blood being absorbed by the golden claws, Gu Mo was overjoyed. Although the speed of the ritual was a bit slow, it would be fine as long as it could be done.

"Hu~~"

When the golden claw in his hand was successfully refined, Gu Mo couldn't help but let out a long sigh. He didn't expect that the refinement of this golden claw would be so slow. This was only one, and there was still one golden claw that had not been refined.

After the golden claw was successfully refined, Gu Mo became the master of the golden claw and could naturally detect everything in the golden claw. Gu Mo discovered the trace of the treasure hidden in the golden claw at the first opportunity.

"Is the gold the treasure hidden in the golden claw?"

After confirming that the golden power in the golden claw was the body of the treasure, Gu Mo controlled the golden power in the golden claw to gather together. As the golden power gathered, the golden claw returned to its original green color.

And where the golden power gathered, Gu Mo saw a golden scissors blade. The treasure hidden in the golden claws was actually a pair of scissors.

"rise!"

After the blade of the golden scissors was formed, Gu Mo shouted softly and pulled it out directly. As the blade left the golden claw, the golden claw collapsed instantly and turned into a pile of blue-ash.

And the blade, after being separated from the golden claws, turned into a real scissors blade. Gu Mo held the palm-sized blade, feeling the power contained in it, and was secretly shocked.

This blade contained an extremely sharp edge and was definitely a powerful gold treasure. As for its grade, Gu Mo could feel that this blade had surpassed the level of top-grade magic weapons. However, Gu Mo did not sense the presence of a spirit in the blade, so it did not conform to the characteristics of a spiritual weapon.

Or perhaps the scissors themselves are a spiritual weapon, but the spirit within them has dissipated. Otherwise, a spiritual weapon with a spirit would not be able to be sacrificed so easily.

Of course, it is also possible that the scissors are not in a complete state. Gu Mo needs to refine the other golden claw, take out the other blade, and form a complete pair of scissors before their true appearance can be revealed.

Gu Mo was full of desire to explore the golden scissors of extraordinary origin, because this treasure could definitely greatly enhance his combat power.

Apart from anything else, the blessing that this blade alone brings to Gu Mo exceeds that of the top-grade magical flying sword with ice attribute. If the two blades are combined into one, there may be even greater surprises.

Without hesitation, Gu Mo immediately began to refine the second golden claw. With the previous experience, the refining speed was much faster this time, and soon the second blade was taken out of the golden claw.

When the two blades were put together, they automatically merged into a pair of golden scissors. At the same time, Gu Mo also detected the message in the golden scissors.

This pair of golden scissors is called Golden Dragon Scissors. It is not the legendary Golden Dragon Scissors of supreme treasure level, but an imitation made by later generations. However, even if it is an imitation, this pair of Golden Dragon Scissors is also a treasure of spiritual treasure level.

Above the magic weapon is the spiritual weapon, and above the spiritual weapon is the spiritual treasure. The spiritual weapon is a magic weapon that gives birth to spiritual wisdom and has autonomous attack and defense effects.

The spirit in the spiritual weapon continues to grow and eventually merges with the weapon, taking shape with the weapon. This is a spiritual treasure. For example, the golden dragon shears in Gu Mo's hand can transform into two dragons, which is the characteristic of a spiritual treasure.

However, the spirit of the imitation golden dragon shears in Gu Mo's hand has dissipated. It only has the foundation of a spiritual treasure, but not the soul of a spiritual treasure. However, the spiritual treasure can still be used, but it lacks the control of the spirit. To make the golden dragon shears transform, not only does it require a lot of spiritual power, but the spirit it transforms into will also be very rigid and need to be manually controlled. For a spiritual treasure that truly has a spirit, the holder only needs to input a little power, and its spirit can be exerted several times, and it is controlled by the spirit. The spirit transformed by the spiritual treasure can cooperate well with the owner in battle.

However, for Gu Mo, these are not important. After all, Gu Mo's magic power and soul are not enough to stimulate the golden dragon shears in his hand to transform into human form.

Now Gu Mo can only use the sharpness of the Golden Shears. It is no exaggeration to say that if Gu Mo had the Golden Shears when fighting against General Golden Claws before, he would probably be able to directly break through General Golden Claws' shell and kill him.

This is the huge combat power improvement brought by the spiritual treasure, and this is a spiritual treasure that has lost its spirit. If it is a real spiritual treasure, Gu Mo estimates that he can use it to fight against Yuanying Zhenjun head-on.

Well, the prerequisite is that the elixir power in Gu Mo's body is enough to activate the spiritual treasure.

After playing with the Golden Dragon Scissors for a while, Gu Mo liked them more and more. Although a pair of scissors looks strange, for a spiritual plant master, a pair of scissors seems to be quite suitable. It can be used to prune spiritual plants. With the sharpness of the Golden Dragon Scissors, it is estimated that it can cut through 4th-level spiritual plants.

When encountering a battle, you can separate the Golden Dragon Shears into two blades to fight the enemy, and use the blades of the Golden Dragon Shears to perform sword techniques, the power of which is definitely far beyond that of the ice-attributed magic flying sword.

Of course, to improve combat power, improving cultivation is the most solid thing. Gu Mo is now only one step away from entering the Golden Core realm, which is to practice the method of condensing the pill.

After occupying General Jinzhe's third-grade superior spiritual land, Gu Mo's number of plants has been greatly increased. The first is the third-grade sunflowers. The number has increased from 3 to 3. Moreover, these 10 sunflowers are not third-grade inferior ones, but third-grade medium ones.

The solar essence condensed by the middle-grade sunflower is three times that of the lower-grade one. Therefore, these 3 third-grade middle-grade sunflowers are equivalent to 30 third-grade lower-grade sunflowers.

This caused the accumulation speed of the golden elixir power in Gu Mo's body to increase dramatically. In just one year, it had almost filled up Gu Mo's great circulation.

The spiritual power circulated in the great circulation of other foundation-building cultivators is liquid spiritual power, while the spiritual power circulated in Gu Mo's great circulation is golden elixir power. Not only golden elixir power, but Gu Mo's physique and soul had already reached the golden elixir level a long time ago. Now the only thing Gu Mo lacks is a golden elixir.

As for how to condense the golden elixir, Gu Mo had tried it when he broke through the foundation-building stage, and even used his incarnation to condense a fake elixir.

Therefore, there is no problem for Gu Mo in the method of condensing the golden elixir. The real problem is that it seems that no one has ever done this before using the power of the golden elixir to condense the golden elixir.

Gu Mo didn't know if there would be any problems during this period. Usually, in this situation, Gu Mo would let his incarnation try. However, the incarnation was killed by Fenghua Sect's Nascent Soul. During this period, Gu Mo was busy practicing and did not condense a new incarnation.

After all, the sea environment is not yet comfortable enough to allow Gu Mo to spare a lot of time to condense the incarnation. The incarnation can be condensed quickly, but to make the incarnation stronger, it needs resources.

If the resources are given to the incarnation, the cultivation speed of Gu Mo himself will slow down, and the upgrade speed of other plants will also slow down. Based on the principle of improving combat power as quickly as possible, temporarily giving up the incarnation is the best choice.

If one does not transform into his true self to step on the minefield, then the risk will have to be borne by the true self. To be on the safe side, Gu Mo thinks that he should prepare some Dan-forming resources first. In case of any accidents, he can use the Dan-forming resources to support himself. Although there is a high probability that they will be of no use, what if?

Among the resources for forming elixirs, the most important one is the Golden Elixir. However, this is the sea area, and Gu Mo seems to have no other choice but to refine it himself.

Fortunately, the alchemist inheritance that Gu Mo obtained contained the recipe for the Golden Pill, and Gu Mo was not short of spiritual materials. General Jinzhao's collection contained quite a few spiritual materials for refining the Golden Pill.

The only thing lacking may be Gu Mo's alchemy skills. Now Gu Mo can refine most of the second-level elixirs, including foundation-building pills.

With the three jade dew fruit trees, Gu Mo had no shortage of the main materials for the foundation-building pill, especially since the jade dew fruit trees were planted in a top-grade tier 3 spiritual land. With Gu Mo's urging, it would not take five years at all; one year would be enough for the jade dew fruit trees to mature.

With the materials, Gu Mo tried to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill himself. Except for the first failure due to his unfamiliarity, the next few attempts were all successful, allowing Gu Mo to harvest more than ten Foundation Establishment Pills.

Among them, there is 1 top-grade foundation-building pill, 8 mid-grade pills, and 4 genuine pills. With such results, Gu Mo's identity as a peak level 2 alchemist is beyond doubt.

But to refine the Golden Condensation Pill, a 2nd-level alchemist is obviously not enough. Pills such as the Foundation Establishment Pill and the Golden Condensation Pill that assist in breaking through a higher realm are extremely difficult to refine.

Gu Mo naturally knew this. If he was in the world of immortal cultivation, Gu Mo would choose to buy it with money, but here, Gu Mo felt that he might be the one with the highest attainment in alchemy in this sea area.

Moreover, it has always been Gu Mo's wish to challenge the 3rd-level alchemist. The 3rd-level alchemist and the 2nd-level alchemist are two completely different levels. It is also an excellent disguise to cover up his identity as a spiritual plant master.

The higher Gu Mo's level as an alchemist, the less likely people would associate him with the identity of a spiritual plant master. After all, it is already very difficult to specialize in one field, and few people would think that Gu Mo is not only an alchemist, but also a spiritual plant master.

"Then practice it."

He has the materials and the recipe. Gu Mo's consciousness, physique, and even the elixir power in his body are all suitable for a Jindan cultivator. Since he has all the conditions to become a rank 3 alchemist, and even has treasures like the torch stump, what reason does Gu Mo have to stagnate?

Red Sand Islands.

Master Xuanshui looked at his newly grown arms and let out a long sigh. He had finally completed his body before Lord Chisha's thousandth birthday. Otherwise, Lord Chisha would have been displeased with such an incomplete body.

"Then, it's time to take these gifts with you." Master Xuanshui looked at the Hongshan Islands in the distance.

He had not paid attention to it this year, but the strength of the cultivators in the Hongshan Islands had actually improved significantly. Fortunately, there had not yet been any cultivators at the Jindan level, otherwise, it would have been another trouble.

Arriving at the largest island of Hongshan Islands, Hongyi Island, Master Xuanshui activated the mermaid blood in his body, and in an instant, he turned into a strange fish.

Under the horrified gazes of the monks on the island, Master Xuanshui opened his mouth wide, and a powerful suction force burst out, swallowing all the monks and mortals on the island into his specially opened stomach.

After all, storage magic weapons cannot hold living things, and Master Xuanshui also wanted to give the freshest gifts, so he opened up a special stomach bag in his body.

Faced with the rampage of a level 3 monster, the Hongshan Islands had no power to resist and could only watch as the people on the island were swallowed into its huge mouth.

When Master Xuanshui was devouring the monks and mortals on the island, two large, bright and juicy cherries were sucked into his mouth along with other fruits and vegetables.
