Plants vs. Cultivation.

Chapter 194 Elder Xiaohua

After the darkness engulfed the ancient tree, the memory ended there. As for what happened next, Gu Mo had no idea, but the little flower growing on the ancient tree in this memory should be Master Xiaohua.

But there are too many doubts, such as the origin of the huge ancient tree, its relationship with Master Xiaohua, and the darkness that engulfed the ancient tree.

Shaking his head, Gu Mo put aside these doubts. The scenes in his memory should have happened a long, long time ago. It seemed meaningless for him to think about them now.

Even if the mature version of Xiaohua gave Gu Mo this memory in the hope that he could save the ancient tree that was engulfed by darkness, Gu Mo still had to consider the risks of this matter.

Even if Gu Mo took on this task for Master Xiaohua in the future, it would be a long time in the future.

While Gu Mo was stunned by the sudden appearance of memory, a huge flower bloomed in the Tribulation Valley.

The appearance of the flower was exactly the same as what Gu Mo saw in his memory. Then, Gu Mo saw a pink little girl in the center of the flower.

After overcoming the transformation tribulation, Xiaohua successfully entered the 4th level demon king realm. At the same time, with the help of this breakthrough, Xiaohua also completed a new life.

Xiaohua's appearance after her rebirth has not changed much. The only change is her body shape, which has changed from the original little loli size to the size of a palm.

Although his size has shrunk, his aura is that of a true 4th-level demon king.

"Master, what happened?"

Xiaohua opened her eyes in a daze, and saw Hou Chunyu with a smile on his face. She asked in confusion.

Xiaohua's questioning left Hou Chunyu at a loss. This girl knew nothing about such an important matter as overcoming the tribulation.

Thinking back to when he was going through the tribulation, he was extremely nervous.

"Uncle Xiaohua, why have you become smaller?" Gu Mo leaned his head over and looked at Xiaohua, who was only the size of a palm, with some curiosity.

"This is the spiritual plant's rebirth after overcoming the tribulation. This is only temporary. Its size will grow little by little over time, and it will be bigger than before." Hou Chunyu explained.

This can be considered a special ability of spiritual plants. In the process of transcending tribulation, they abandon their old bodies, preserve their most core strength and are reborn in this way, just like plants that have survived a cold winter and then sprout again, growing more and larger branches.

Of course, this process may take a long time, at least hundreds of years.

"Oh!"

After hearing Hou Chunyu's explanation, Gu Mo immediately became interested. That is to say, in the future, Master Xiaohua would grow up to be the mature version with a laurel crown on his head that he had seen before.

"Xiao Mo, I'm sleepy."

Seeing Gu Mo appear, Xiaohua flashed and appeared on Gu Mo's head. Then, she rolled up Gu Mo's hair, turned it into a quilt, and began to sleep soundly.

Xiaohua has just completed the tribulation, and now she needs to get familiar with the new power by sleeping.

"Take your uncle Xiaohua back with you." Hou Chunyu said with a sour tone. After raising his daughter for so many years, she was finally kidnapped by a foreign boy.

Oh, that kid is my disciple’s grandson, he’s one of my own, so it’s okay.

Gu Mo took Xiaohua away, and Hou Chunyu went to show off to other elders. After all, a 4th-level spiritual plant demon king was born in his lineage, which greatly increased the strength of his lineage.

Afterwards, the news of Xiaohua's breakthrough to become a 4th-level demon king quickly spread.

The birth of a 4th-level spiritual plant demon king is a big event in Shennong Valley. The valley master specially summoned Xiaohua for this purpose and provided Xiaohua with various welfare benefits.

The benefits Xiaohua received included the status of a sect elder. If one became a Nascent Soul in Shennong Valley, or became a 4th-level demon king, one would automatically become a sect elder.

There are also 4th-level caves and spiritual fields, which are standard.

In addition, after Xiaohua became a 4th-level demon king, he was qualified to open up a new lineage, but Xiaohua obviously had no intention of reopening a lineage.

"Xiaohua, where is your cave? Uncle will help you upgrade the cave's spiritual energy to level 4 now." The Valley Master looked at the palm-sized Xiaohua with a smile.

"Master Valley Master, his cave is here." Xiaohua pointed at Gu Mo's leaf courtyard on the ancient tree vein map and said.

Xiaohua has been living in Gu Mo's courtyard for some time, and has long regarded Gu Mo's courtyard as her own cave.

Leaf courtyard.

Gu Mo looked at the fish head that came over with a look of grievance, and reluctantly took out a portion of 4th-level sun essence. After getting the 4th-level sun essence, the little carp cheered and swallowed it.

Afterwards, the little carp turned into a "dead fish" with its belly turned up white. The 4th level of solar essence was still a bit too much for the little carp.

Xiaoli estimated that it would take some time to digest this 4th level solar essence.

"Huh? What's going on?"

Gu Mo spread out his spiritual sense, because he could feel that the spiritual energy in his courtyard was increasing rapidly. After about an hour, the concentration of spiritual energy around him had reached level 4.

The sect can control the concentration of spiritual energy in this leaf courtyard, but why did the spiritual energy in his courtyard inexplicably rise to level 4?

He has not yet become a Yuanying Zhenjun, and the 4th-level cave is the configuration of a Yuanying elder.

"Could it be..."

Suddenly, Gu Mo thought of something.

"Xiao Mo! Xiao Mo!"

As soon as Gu Mo had the thought, Xiaohua's figure appeared. When he saw Xiaohua appear, Gu Mo could already guess the reason why the spiritual energy in his courtyard had increased.

"Master has obtained a spiritual field. Can we continue to grow Sunlight Glazed Flowers?" Xiaohua said excitedly.

"Master Xiaohua's spiritual field!"

Hearing this, Gu Mo's heart couldn't help but move. Xiaohua is now a 4th-level demon king, and she has the status of an elder in Shennong Valley. The spiritual field that belongs to her is naturally a 4th-level spiritual field.

"Ahem, Uncle Xiaohua, why don't you rent this spiritual field to me, and I'll give you that special delicious food as rent?" Gu Mo coughed lightly.

"Okay, okay!"

Hearing this, Xiaohua clapped her hands excitedly. It was obvious that the attraction of the 4th-level sun essence was far greater than that of the spiritual field. Gu Mo had never thought that he would get a real 4th-level spiritual field in this way.

Although Xiaohua only got the most basic 1 acre of 4th-level spiritual field, if she wanted to expand the area of ​​the spiritual field, even the elders would need to exchange it with contributions.

But for Gu Mo, this one acre of level 4 spiritual field, plus the previous three acres, is enough.

Now that he had the 4th level spiritual field, Gu Mo naturally began to upgrade the 4th level sunflower with all his strength. However, he also needed to find a solution to the incarnation issue as soon as possible. "Uncle Xiaohua, can you help me? There will be a delicious reward." Gu Mo looked at Xiaohua, whose figure disappeared and reappeared in an instant, and his heart moved.

After Xiaohua became the demon king, he mastered a natural magical power, the Wood Escape Technique. This Wood Escape Technique is the Wood Escape Technique among the five elements of magical power, and Xiaohua's Wood Escape talent can be compared to the realm of Wood Escape Mastery.

It is no exaggeration to say that Xiaohua, who has mastered the wood escape technique, cannot be caught by Yuanying Great True Lord because as long as she hides among the grass and trees, she cannot be found at all.

Moreover, the Wood Release Technique can also quickly shuttle through grass and trees. Although its speed is relatively slow among the Five Elements Release Techniques, it is still far faster than other release techniques.

Therefore, Gu Mo thought of asking Xiaohua to help him deliver things to the avatar. Compared with other people, Xiaohua is obviously more trustworthy.

"Okay, okay!"

When Xiaohua heard that there would be a delicious reward, she nodded quickly.

Seeing Xiaohua nod, Gu Mo immediately took out a storage bag, which contained the Yaoyang Pill that Gu Mo had refined during this period, as well as several portions of 4th-level sun essence. These were used to replenish the incarnation's immortal power. The incarnation had used up a lot of the immortal power in his body before.

"You'll be back soon. Don't run around, okay?" Gu Mo warned seriously.

"Do not worry."

Xiaohua said confidently, and then her palm-sized body disappeared in an instant holding the storage bag.

Dayan Sword Sect.

"Yeah, so fast!"

Gu Mo's incarnation noticed that the mountain protection formation had been triggered, and his eyebrows raised. The Dayan Sword Sect's mountain protection formation did not actually stop Xiaohua from performing the Wood Escape Technique. Even though the mountain protection formation was not in an activated state at the moment, it was still shocking enough.

This is the supernatural power of the great perfection realm, which is indeed terrifyingly strong.

Gu Mo stood up and came to a big tree, where he found a storage bag in the tree hole. As for Xiaohua, after delivering the storage bag, he went back immediately.

She was anxious to go back to Gu Mo to ask for a reward. Although the reward for this task was delicious food, not particularly delicious, Xiaohua was already very satisfied to get delicious food for such a small errand task.

After receiving the storage bag from the original body, Gu Mo's incarnation first refined those portions of 4th-level sun essence, adding some immortal powers to his body.

Then Gu Mo began to summon the core members of Dayan Sword Sect. Soon, five Jindan elders and ten true disciples all appeared. These were the core members of Dayan Sword Sect.

Originally, the sect had 7 Jindan elders, but two of them became puppets of the Demon Sect, and these two were also the two with the strongest combat power.

Except for the Sect Master Xuan Tianhen who was at the Nascent Soul stage, the strength of the elders in Dayan Sword Sect were all at the early Golden Core stage. The only two who were at the middle stage were the two who died in this incident.

The consciousness of these two were controlled by demonic means, and their cultivation of the middle stage of the Golden Core could not be fully exerted, so they were easily killed by Gu Mo with his immortal power.

As for the late Jindan stage, anyone with this level of cultivation will die inexplicably in a short time. It is obvious that the Demon Sect does not want the Dayan Sword Sect to rise. Any member of the Dayan Sword Sect who has the potential to become a Nascent Soul will be strangled by the Demon Sect using various means.

Originally, this boundary was the Great Perfection of the Golden Core, but when Xuan Tianhen reached the late Golden Core stage, his cultivation stagnated thereafter, causing the Demon Sect to gradually relax their vigilance against him. They never thought that Xuan Tianhen had deliberately suppressed his cultivation until he had accumulated enough foundation.

Starting directly from the late Jindan stage, he advanced all the way to the great perfection of Jindan, and then immediately broke through to the Yuanying stage.

Because Xuan Tianhen's breakthrough speed was too fast, the Demon Sect had no time to react, and Xuan Tianhen became the Nascent Soul Sword Lord. At this time, the Demon Sect's spies could no longer do anything to Xuan Tianhen.

After the incident of Xuan Tianhen, the Demon Sect began to directly lower the cultivation level of the people being cleared from the Great Perfection of the Golden Core to the late Golden Core stage. Although this required more energy and effort, the incident of Xuan Tianhen really shocked those people in the Demon Sect.

The Dayan Sword Sect and the Demon Sect have a blood feud. If the Dayan Sword Sect were to rise, it would definitely be a huge trouble for the Demon Sect.

Of course, in addition to the Golden Core Elders, the sect also has some fake core and outer core deacons, but these are not the core members of the sect.

Even if they are inner disciples, their priority will be higher than fake elixir and outer elixir deacons. After all, inner disciples have a glimmer of hope of becoming golden elixir.

However, the sect has a large number of inner disciples, and Gu Mo does not have that many Yaoyang Pills on hand, so he can only deal with the problems of the most core members first.

As long as there are no problems with these core members, the sect can remain stable. This time, it was because of the rebellion of a core elder that the senior brother failed to break through and died.

Otherwise, without the internal factors of the sect, and relying solely on external means, with a Nascent Soul Sword Lord guarding the sect, the Demon Sect would have no chance of causing damage.

"I've met the sect master!"

Seeing Gu Mo, the elders and true disciples all bowed. Although Gu Mo's cultivation level at the moment was apparently at the foundation-building stage, no one would regard him as one of them.

After all, he had previously killed a possessed Jindan elder with a single sword strike.

"Everyone is already aware of the sect's current situation. At this moment, no one can guarantee that there are no puppets controlled by the Demon Sect present." Gu Mo glanced at everyone.

Gu Mo's words made everyone look very bad. After all, no one wanted to become a traitor to the sect, but they themselves didn't know whether they had been tricked by the Demon Sect.

It is no exaggeration to say that after this incident, the sect's morale definitely suffered a severe blow. No one knows whether a close friend of theirs will one day become a puppet of the devil and attack them.

"However, I have found a solution." Gu Mo did not keep the secret and directly took out a pill that looked very ordinary.

This pill is the top-grade Yaoyang Pill, but it would be too conspicuous to take out the top-grade Yaoyang Pill directly, so Gu Mo went through some disguise.

I am an alchemist, so my incarnation can naturally do what I can do. It’s just a matter of adding some disguise to the elixir, which is not a difficult task at all.

There was no alchemist present, and no one could tell the true origin of the elixir.

"Master, will this really work?" An elder looked at the ordinary pill in Gu Mo's hand, somewhat unconvinced.

The Dayan Sword Sect has put a lot of effort into cracking the magic methods, but has never succeeded.

"You'll know if you try it."

Gu Mo threw the pill in his hand to the elder who spoke.

"This……"

The elder looked at the pill in his hand, his face full of hesitation. This pill of unknown origin made him wonder whether the sect master's direct disciple had also been controlled by the Demon Sect, and now the other party wanted to use this pill to control others.

"Eat it!"

Faced with the people who had already been frightened by the Demon Sect and were suspicious, Gu Mo knew that it was useless to just talk, so he could only give orders forcefully. Once they took the pill, they would understand the benefits of the pill.

The Yaoyang Pill, which is made with the essence of the sun, can dispel evil spirits. If there is no evil spirit, it can also help improve one's cultivation. After all, Gu Mo has personally verified the effect of the essence of the sun in improving one's cultivation.
