Plants vs. Cultivation.

Chapter 2: Induction
"call!"

Gu Mo closed the diary and let out a long breath. From the original owner's diary, Gu Mo vaguely felt that the original owner had made no progress in cultivation, and wondered if someone had tampered with him.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to draw Qi into the body even if one has spiritual roots, even if one takes the Qi Drawing Pill. The Qi Drawing Pill is the best pill for beginners in cultivating immortals. Even mortals without spiritual roots have a very small chance of drawing Qi into the body after taking it, let alone those who have spiritual roots.

As soon as he crossed over to this world, Gu Mo felt a deep malice, which made him become more cautious. He didn't want to be killed inexplicably just after arriving in this world.

He glanced at the Soul Refining Technique in his hand. This evil method of cultivation needed to be dealt with. If it was discovered by others, it would be hard to explain.

However, the material of this book on soul refining is somewhat special. It cannot be torn into pieces or burned. As for directly throwing it away, that is not an option either. God knows if there will be any means of tracking the breath.

"Have it!"

Gu Mo's mind moved, and the Soul Refining Technique in his hand suddenly disappeared and was thrown into the black fog space. This way it should be safe.

After dealing with the Soul Refining Art, Gu Mo took out another booklet from the cabinet beside the bed. This was also a secret book on cultivation, but compared to the Soul Refining Art that could not be seen in the light, this one was a cultivation method that could be seen openly by everyone. It was also a cultivation method that Qinglu Sect distributed to menial disciples for cultivation.

The name of the technique is also very straightforward, "Qi Yin Jue". This is a simple technique that teaches how to draw Qi into the body.

In addition to the thousands of words of the exercises, the book also contained many notes from the original owner. The Qinglu Sect would naturally not ignore the exercises, and there would be someone to guide the practice. The middle-aged man in the green robe was the teacher who was responsible for guiding these menial disciples in their practice.

From the densely packed notes in the booklet, it can be seen that the original owner had indeed worked hard in his cultivation, and these notes also helped Gu Mo quickly get started with this Qi-Inducing Art.

Gu Mo, who traveled through time and space and received higher education, naturally has good reading comprehension ability. With the knowledge from another world as a backing, Gu Mo's comprehension is definitely not weaker than those geniuses.

After understanding the method of Qi Induction, Gu Mo couldn't wait to try to practice it. After traveling to the world of immortal cultivation, how could he not try the method of immortal cultivation?

He took out three jade stones the size of one-yuan coins from the cabinet and held them in his hands. These were the three low-grade spirit stones issued by the Qinglu Sect. Even without the Qi-Inducing Pill, these spirit stones could assist in cultivation.

After making preparations, Gu Mo began to comprehend the spiritual energy of heaven and earth according to the method of Qi Induction. Unfortunately, due to his inferior spiritual root talent, Gu Mo's perception of spiritual energy was extremely weak. After an unknown amount of time, Gu Mo finally sensed a thin spiritual light from his hands.

Gu Mo knew that this was the spiritual energy mentioned in the Qi Attraction Technique. This was all thanks to those spirit stones. Otherwise, it would take an unknown amount of time to sense the existence of the spiritual energy.

Without hesitation, Gu Mo captured that ray of spiritual light and guided it into his body. As long as he absorbed this ray of spiritual light into his Dantian Qi Sea, he would have completed the process of drawing Qi into his body.

“It won’t work in one go.”

Gu Mo was pleasantly surprised to see that the ray of spiritual light was successfully guided into his body. However, as soon as his joy appeared, the ray of spiritual light dissipated. The guided spiritual energy was too thin and was directly consumed in the process of entering his body.

"Try it again!" Taking a deep breath, Gu Mo calmed his mind and continued to practice. After several attempts, Gu Mo finally succeeded in guiding a thin trace of spiritual energy into his dantian. He thought that he would be able to successfully guide the energy into his body this time, but after the ray of spiritual light entered his dantian, it was swallowed up by a ray of black light.

At this moment, Gu Mo was certain that the original owner was unable to complete the process of drawing Qi into the body, and was indeed tricked. With the black light lingering in his Dantian, it was impossible for Gu Mo to complete the process of drawing Qi into the body, at least not within three days.

If he fails to draw Qi into his body within three days, then Gu Mo will be expelled from Qinglu Sect and his path to cultivation will be cut off. As for becoming a casual cultivator, this is undoubtedly a dead end for someone with inferior spiritual roots.

Although independent cultivators are free and unconstrained, they still have to take risks to obtain cultivation techniques, elixirs, and spirit stones. If Qinglu Sect did not only recruit people with clean backgrounds, it would be able to easily recruit many independent cultivators with advanced cultivation skills.

Since ordinary methods were unable to draw Qi into the body, Gu Mo turned his attention to the sunflower seeds he obtained in the black fog space. If he could grow the sunflower and obtain the essence of the sun, would it help him draw Qi into the body successfully?

Gu Mo felt that the sun essence would definitely bring him surprises, but the problem was that sunflowers needed spiritual fields to be grown. Qinglu Sect naturally had spiritual fields, and some of their menial disciples would also manage the spiritual fields in the future.

But this is only after one has cultivated enough to officially become a menial disciple. Now people like Gu Mo can only stay in this area. Anyone who leaves without permission will be expelled directly.

Gu Mo, who was stuck for a while, decided to go out and look for information. After all, staying here would not solve the problem.

It was already noon of the next day when we left the hut. Although we were menial disciples, Qinglu Sect still gave each of us an independent hut. The reason was very simple: cultivation cannot be disturbed, and it would be impossible for several people to cultivate if they lived together.

The first place Gu Mo went to was the cafeteria. He was still a mortal and needed to eat. Even though he had drawn Qi into his body and entered the threshold of cultivation, he was still unable to practice fasting.

There was a record about the cafeteria in the diary, and Gu Mo found the seat easily. There were unexpectedly few people entering the cafeteria, even though it was meal time.

Gu Mo could roughly guess why there were so few people. It was because they were all busy practicing. With inferior spiritual roots, if he wanted to improve, he had to spend more time practicing.

The free meals provided in the cafeteria are just ordinary meals, which would definitely be considered delicacies in the mortal world. As for the better spiritual rice and spiritual beast meat, one can only spend extra money, and the money spent is not ordinary gold and silver but spiritual stones or contributions from the sect.

After finishing his meal, Gu Mo went directly to the library. Obviously, there was no need to expect any good things in the library, which was open to menial disciples. It was filled with books related to cultivating immortals and the various arts, as well as some inferior books on magic.

In the future, menial disciples will be engaged in miscellaneous tasks related to the Hundred Arts of Immortal Cultivation, so it is very necessary to let the menial disciples understand the contents related to the Hundred Arts of Immortal Cultivation in advance.

Gu Mo's purpose was precisely these books, especially those about spiritual fields. As long as he could solve the problem of spiritual fields, he could grow sunflowers.

"Have it!"

Soon, Gu Mo's eyes showed surprise. He really found a solution from these books, a way to grow sunflowers without having to look for a real spiritual field.
