Plants vs. Cultivation.

Chapter 174 Taiyi Qingmu Sutra

"This is your identity token. With it, you can use many facilities of this sect." Hou Chunyu did not dwell on Xiaohua's problem. After all, he had already dwelled on it a long time ago, and now he had long given up investigating Xiaohua's origins.

Having raised Xiaohua for hundreds of years, Hou Chunyu now treats Xiaohua as his own child.

"Thank you, Master!"

Gu Mo took the identity token with both hands. Like Qi Chunde's identity token, Gu Mo's token was also made of wood, and the style of the token was also similar.

This means that Gu Mo's status in Shennong Valley is equivalent to Qi Chunde's.

"This is the token of the inner disciples. Every year the sect will distribute corresponding resources." Hou Chunyu explained to Gu Mo the treatment of the inner disciples. As for the unsuccessful application for the true disciple treatment, Hou Chunyu did not mention it.

"Let's go, I'll take you to choose the subsequent exercises first!" Without waiting for Gu Mo to study them carefully, Hou Chunyu took Gu Mo to choose the exercises.

Gu Mo only felt a flash before his eyes, and he appeared in front of a tall tower.

“Once you master the art of wood movement, you will be able to reach any ancient tree in an instant.” Hou Chunyu explained to Gu Mo while taking him to the tower.

"Go in and choose for yourself."

Hou Chunyu stopped in front of the high tower. The high tower where the martial arts techniques were stored was not a place that even Hou Chunyu, a True Lord in the late Nascent Soul stage, could enter casually.

"Yes!"

Gu Mo nodded, handed the little carp in his sleeve to Hou Chunyu for safekeeping, and then walked towards the tower with great anticipation. The moment Gu Mo entered the tower, a divine sense swept across the ID card on Gu Mo, and then the divine sense dissipated.

Gu Mo was not surprised by this. The place where the skills were stored was definitely the most important place in a sect. How could such a place not have some detection and protection measures?

"Ugh!"

Looking at Gu Mo disappearing in the high tower, Hou Chunyu sighed in his heart. If Gu Mo could receive the true teachings, then the place where he would obtain the skills would not be here, but in the secret realm.

The skills in the secret realm are not more advanced than those here. The skills in the two places are the same. The only difference is the medium for passing on the skills.

The skills in the tower are recorded in jade slips, while the skills in the secret realm are recorded in special spiritual fruits. True disciples enter the secret realm, pick the spiritual fruits engraved with the corresponding skills, and by taking them, they can directly gain the practice enlightenment of the corresponding skills.

With this understanding, disciples can quickly get started with the exercises.

This inherited spiritual fruit is one of the foundations of Shennong Valley and was cultivated by a powerful spiritual plant master.

"As expected of a top sect!"

When Gu Mo entered the tower, he saw a vast amount of classics. The tower looked small from the outside, but it was extremely spacious inside.

There are countless books, jade slips, bamboo slips, stone tablets and other types of books. Some of these books are about skills and spells, and some are about history and anecdotes.

Gu Mo took a quick look and did not stay any longer, but walked towards the upper level. What he needed at the moment was the cultivation method after the Golden Core, and this level of cultivation method would obviously not appear on this first level.

Gu Mo even skipped the second floor and came to the highest floor he could reach. Since he was looking for a martial art, he naturally had to find the strongest one.

Of course, the stronger the technique, the more difficult it is to practice. But for Gu Mo, this is not a problem. As long as there is enough sun essence, he can force it.

“That’s it.”

Gu Mo felt the restrictions in front of him and knew that this was the upper limit of what he could reach. There should be another layer above it, but he didn't know what kind of skills were placed in that layer, or whether there were any top-level secret techniques or magical powers.

As a top-level sect, Shennong Valley definitely has a legacy of supernatural powers. However, the level of supernatural power inheritance is obviously not something that Gu Mo, a disciple who has just joined Shennong Valley, can access.

Looking around, compared to the vastness of the first floor, this place is much smaller. Jade slips are covered in light and floating in the air.

Gu Mo grabbed a ball of light casually, and then a message was transmitted into his mind.

"Cloud and Rain Technique!"

Upon hearing the information about the ball of light, Gu Mo was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that this was actually an upgraded version of the Xiao Yunyu Jue spell, and that the Xiao Yunyu Jue was already a secret spell.

Gu Mo had previously guessed that Shennong Valley, as a top-level spiritual plant master sect, must have higher-level spiritual farming spells, and now it seems to be true as expected.

He let go of the ball of light in his hand, and it floated back into the air. Then Gu Mo reached out and grabbed a ball of light nearby.

"The Art of Spring Breeze and Rain!"

The moment Gu Mo grabbed the ball of light, the information in it flooded into his mind, allowing Gu Mo to know for the first time what skills and secret techniques were recorded in the ball of light.

"This is……"

After carefully checking the message conveyed by the ball of light, Gu Mo couldn't help but widen his eyes. This Spring Breeze and Rain Art was actually an upgraded version of the Cloud and Rain Art, a spiritual farming spell at the secret level.

The Small Cloud and Rain Technique at the spell level, the Cloud and Rain Technique at the secret technique level, the Spring Breeze and Rain Technique at the secret technique level, these will be the level of supernatural powers in the future.

Gu Mo just happened to know what the next magical power would be, which was to control the clouds and rain, because this was the innate magical power that Xiaoli had awakened.

However, Gu Mo checked all the light balls nearby and did not see the inheritance of the magical power of moving clouds and rain. On second thought, it seemed normal. The magical power was so rare that this kind of inheritance was definitely the top priority of a sect. Such an important inheritance obviously could not be placed here.

Thinking of this, Gu Mo couldn't help but turn his gaze to the top of his head. The floor he was on was not the topmost floor. There was another floor above it. Perhaps the important inheritance of Shennong Valley was on it.

Although he did not see the magical powers, Gu Mo also saw other advanced versions of the spiritual farming spells, such as the upgraded version of the Minor Rejuvenation Spell and the upgraded version of the Dead Tree Rejuvenation Spell. As for the final version of the magical powers, Gu Mo did not know.

But this is already shocking enough. The five exclusive spells of Lingnong, spells, secret spells, and secret spell versions are all available here.

It is worthy of being the top-level spiritual plant master sect. The inheritance system is so complete. No wonder Master Qi Chunde looked down on the spiritual plant masters in Qinghe Xiuxian world at that time. The gap was too big.

"call!!"

Gu Mo let out a long breath and suppressed the excitement in his heart. This time he came to find the main cultivation method. He would exchange these spiritual farming spells after he accumulated enough contributions to the sect.

"found it!"

Soon Gu Mo found a set of exercises.

"Taiyi Qingmu Sutra!" Gu Mo's eyes lit up when he learned the message from the ball of light. From the name of this technique, it was not difficult to guess that this technique should be the advanced technique of the Qingmu Sutra he practiced.

After carefully reading the information sent by the ball of light, Gu Mo confirmed his guess that this was the follow-up practice of the Qingmu Sutra, and the effect of the practice was the same as that of the Qingmu Sutra, both of which were known for increasing lifespan.

This technique can be cultivated to the level of Spiritualization. The level above the Nascent Soul is the Spiritualization. The 5th level ancient tree in Shennong Valley is at this level.

A spiritual practice is definitely a top-level practice. But Gu Mo wants to see if there are any other options.

Soon Gu Mo found the second set of skills.

"Cang Lei Code!"

This is also a technique for the transformation of the spirit, and it is also a technique for killing. Practicing this technique can transform the spiritual power in the body into magical power of thunder attribute.

After taking a quick look at the effects of this technique, Gu Mo shook his head. It was obvious that this technique was not suitable for him.

Afterwards, Gu Mo found several more martial arts techniques, some at the Spiritual Transformation level and some at the Nascent Soul level. The number of martial arts techniques collected by Shennong Valley is worthy of the title of a top-notch sect.

Almost all types of martial arts were involved, and Gu Mo even saw a sword-cultivation technique at the Nascent Soul level, the Green Lotus Sword Technique.

Now that Gu Mo's incarnation has successfully become a disciple of the Dayan Sword Sect, Gu Mo naturally does not need the sword cultivation techniques. The techniques collected by the Dayan Sword Sect are obviously stronger than the Qinglian Sword Technique collected by Shennong Valley.

After some searching, Gu Mo finally caught the ball of light from the Taiyi Qingmu Sutra again, because this technique seemed to be the most suitable for him.

"I wonder if there are any more advanced skills up there!" Gu Mo looked up. He felt that there should be some. The word Shennong in Shennong Valley was not just for show, but Gu Mo's current identity obviously did not allow him to access secrets of that level.

The Taiyi Qingmu Sutra should be the best martial arts that Gu Mo can get now. It is a martial arts at the level of transformation of the spirit, which is enough for Gu Mo who is still in the golden elixir stage.

By the time he becomes a god, the Shennong Valley's skills should have been fully open to him, so Gu Mo doesn't have to worry about the subsequent problems with the skills.

He took out his identity token and touched the ball of light. Suddenly, the ball of light dissipated and a jade slip fell into Gu Mo's hand.

When his spiritual consciousness probed into the jade slip, suddenly, a huge amount of information flooded into Gu Mo's mind. However, Gu Mo, whose spiritual strength had reached the middle stage of the Golden Core, received this huge amount of information easily.

Later, Gu Mo learned more information about the Taiyi Qingmu Sutra. The information given by the light group before was just the most basic introduction.

Taiyi Qingmu Sutra is an advanced practice of Qingmu Sutra, so the effects of the two are the same, but the effect of Taiyi Qingmu Sutra is stronger. For example, in terms of the effect of prolonging life, Taiyi Qingmu Sutra is far superior to Qingmu Sutra.

For cultivators who practice the Taiyi Qingmu Sutra, it is not a problem to live several times longer than cultivators of the same level. Even when compared with those long-lived monsters, they are not inferior at all.

The goal of cultivating immortals is to live forever, and the Taiyi Qingmu Sutra can be said to be directly pointing to the essence of cultivating immortals. From this perspective, the Taiyi Qingmu Sutra is definitely the most advanced technique.

However, the Taiyi Qingmu Sutra, apart from its advantage of prolonging life, has other disadvantages. For example, it lacks the means to kill. No matter how long you live, it will be useless if you are too weak and are killed by the enemy with one blow.

In addition, the speed of practicing Taiyi Qingmu Jing is also the slowest among the same level of exercises. Although this method has a good effect on prolonging life, it is okay to practice it slowly.

But instead of wasting time on cultivation, why not choose a fast-cultivation method to quickly improve your combat power and realm? When the realm is improved, your lifespan will naturally increase as well. And once you have the realm and combat power, you can continue to fight for opportunities and continue to impact higher realms.

However, the shortcomings of the Taiyi Qingmu Sutra are not a problem for Gu Mo.

The technique does not have any killing methods, but Gu Mo has a plant front. The speed of cultivation is slow, but Gu Mo has the essence of the sun. As long as the amount of the essence of the sun is enough, the speed of cultivation is absolutely as fast as riding a rocket.

Since the shortcomings are not shortcomings, then in Gu Mo's eyes, the Taiyi Qingmu Sutra is a good practice with only advantages.

After carefully reviewing the contents of the Taiyi Qingmu Sutra and making sure that he would not forget it, Gu Mo let go of the jade slip in his hand. Immediately, the jade slip in his hand was covered by a ball of light again and floated into the air.

Then Gu Mo turned and left.

His current authority only allows him to obtain one set of skills. If he wants others, he will have to accumulate contributions and exchange them.

"What technique did you exchange for?"

Hou Chunyu saw Gu Mo appear and immediately asked.

He needed to know what martial arts Gu Mo had chosen so that he could give corresponding guidance. Hou Chunyu planned to train this talented disciple well.

Although Gu Mo has not yet gained the trust of the sect, as time goes by and as Gu Mo shows stronger talents, Hou Chunyu believes that the sect will change its mind.

"Taiyi Qingmu Sutra!"

Gu Mo told everyone the technique he had chosen, then looked at Hou Chunyu with anticipation, ready to get some guidance from this True Lord in the late Nascent Soul stage.

Before, Gu Mo practiced on his own, but now he finally has a senior to give him guidance. Gu Mo feels that his progress in practicing the Taiyi Qingmu Sutra should be faster.

"The Taiyi Qingmu Sutra!"

Upon hearing the martial arts method chosen by Gu Mo, Hou Chunyu felt a headache. It's not that this martial arts method is bad. On the contrary, it is a very outstanding martial arts method. After all, martial arts methods that can prolong life are very rare, especially this is a longevity method that can be cultivated to the level of spiritual transformation.

This kind of skills may be extremely useless to disciples from other sects, but it still has its merits for disciples from Shennong Valley.

The longer a spiritual plant master lives, the stronger his combat power will be, and the more resources he will have. After all, many high-level spiritual plants take hundreds of years to mature. If the spiritual plant master's lifespan is not enough, he may not be able to wait until those precious spiritual plants mature, and he may die.

However, the shortcomings of Taiyi Qingmu Sutra cannot be ignored. This technique will hinder Gu Mo's talent, causing his cultivation speed to only reach the level of an ordinary disciple, even though he could have made rapid progress.

How can you gain the sect’s recognition if you can’t quickly improve your cultivation and make a name for yourself?

"Yes, this technique is a rare way to prolong life. The purpose of cultivating immortals is to achieve immortality..." Looking at Gu Mo's expectant eyes, Hou Chunyu nodded, and then began to explain the Taiyi Qingmu Jing technique to Gu Mo.

Although Gu Mo, his disciple, may not be able to stand out and gain recognition from the sect, Gu Mo, who practices the Taiyi Qingmu Sutra, may be the one who has spent the longest time with him among his many disciples.

As a Yuanying Zhenjun, Hou Chunyu has an extremely long lifespan. Unless one of his disciples can enter the Yuanying realm, they will eventually die of exhausted lifespan.

But it is extremely difficult to enter the Nascent Soul stage. Except for his little disciple who has already achieved true success, there is some hope, while the hope for other disciples is slim.

By then, Chunyu will watch those disciples die of old age one by one, while Gu Mo will practice the Taiyi Qingmu Sutra. As long as he does not go out to adventure, it should accompany him for a long, long time.
