Plants vs. Cultivation.

Chapter 217 Your Apprentice is Better Than You
"I don't know how my disciple is doing now." Qi Chunde continued to move towards the ancient tree, thinking about the disciples he accepted when he was in Qinglu Sect.

This was also the first disciple he accepted, and Qi Chunde was still very concerned about him. However, he had been chased by someone before, so he naturally could not go looking for Gu Mo, so as not to bring danger to Gu Mo.

Now that Qi Chunde has successfully escaped the pursuit and returned to Shennong Valley, he can't help but think of Gu Mo.

"After the Tianjiao War is over, I will go to Qinghe Xiuxian Realm to pick up my disciple." Qi Chunde thought to himself. Gu Mo had his ID card in his hand, so Qi Chunde could easily find Gu Mo.

However, he gave his identity card to Gu Mo. If Qi Chunde wanted to enter Shennong Valley, he needed to find someone to lead him.

"Junior Brother Qi, you are finally back!"

Qi Chunde waited for a while outside the Shennong Valley mountain protection formation, and then Wei Yang appeared. Seeing Qi Chunde, Wei Yang's face was filled with joy.

Although we know that Qi Chunde has a strong ability to protect his life, people are still worried when he doesn't return for a long time.

"Brother Wei, how is our master?" Qi Chunde couldn't help but smile when he saw the familiar person again.

"It's okay."

Wei Yang nodded, and then sighed: "Since Junior Brother Gu Mo arrived, Master has been cheerful every day, and we disciples have been neglected a lot."

"Gu Mo?"

Qi Chunde was stunned when he suddenly heard a familiar name.

"Have you forgotten all the disciples you accepted?" Wei Yang asked puzzledly after seeing Qi Chunde's reaction.

"No, Senior Brother Wei, are you saying that my disciple has arrived?" Qi Chunde said in disbelief. How did he, a foundation-building cultivator, cross the dangerous ocean and come to the Tianyuan Immortal Cultivation World?

"Foundation building?"

Hearing Qi Chunde's muttering, it was Wei Yang's turn to be a little confused. What is foundation building? It's obviously golden elixir.

“Gold, golden elixir!”

When Qi Chunde learned that his disciple had already reached the Golden Core stage, he was stunned. Qi Chunde couldn't help but recall the first time he met Gu Mo. At that time, he was just a young cultivator in the early stage of Qi Refining. How could he have reached the Golden Core stage after more than ten years?

As a master, he is only in the middle stage of the Golden Core stage, and his disciple's cultivation is about to catch up with his own. This immediately makes Qi Chunde feel tremendous pressure.

"Let's go. Now that you're back, don't run around anymore." Wei Yang looked at the dazed Qi Chunde and chose to let his fellow apprentice brother digest it first. After all, cultivation was only the most insignificant achievement of his nephew.

"Brother, where is my disciple now? Take me to see him." Qi Chunde took a deep breath. Gu Mo's performance made Qi Chunde feel a huge pressure, but he was also very excited. He, Qi Chunde, actually accepted a disciple of the genius level.

You know, according to his understanding, cultivation aptitude is Gu Mo's worst part, and what Qi Chunde really values ​​is Gu Mo's achievements as a spiritual plant master.

"Master asked Junior Brother Gu Mo to go out for training." Wei Yang took Qi Chunde into Shennong Valley and informed him of Gu Mo's whereabouts.

"Junior Brother Qi, did you know about Tianjiao Zhan?" Wei Yang continued. Qi Chunde nodded. He came here just because he heard about Tianjiao Zhan.

"Um, Junior Brother Qi..." After learning the reason why Qi Chunde came back this time, Wei Yang hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "Junior Brother Qi, you are no longer on the latest version of the Tianjiao Ranking."

The list of geniuses of the righteous and evil sects will be constantly updated. Qi Chunde has been missing for decades, and there has been no information about Qi Chunde for a long time. The Demon Sect has also removed Qi Chunde's name from the list of geniuses.

However, Qi Chunde was in the Qinghe Immortal Cultivation World at the time and had no access to any information about the Tianyuan Immortal Cultivation World. Therefore, he had no idea that he had been removed from the list.

"Wha, what!"

Qi Chunde was stunned when he learned that he had been removed from the list of geniuses.

"However, your apprentice has made it into the list of geniuses. Master was afraid that your nephew had no combat experience, so he sent him out to hone his skills." Wei Yang comforted.

"I……"

Faced with Wei Yang's comfort, Qi Chunde felt even more uncomfortable.

"Go, Master will be very happy to know you are back." Wei Yang brought Qi Chunde to Hou Chunyu's leafy courtyard, and then quickly left.

Wei Yang knew that his junior brother Qi would need to adjust his mindset for a long time.

"Disciple pays homage to master!"

Qi Chunde knelt down in front of Hou Chunyu's courtyard. He did not listen to his master and left the sect without permission. Qi Chunde knew that his master must be very angry.

"come in."

After a while, Hou Chunyu's voice sounded, and then the door of the courtyard slowly opened. Qi Chunde entered the courtyard and saw Hou Chunyu sitting in the courtyard drinking tea. Qi Chunde bowed again.

"Huh, you finally remembered that you have a master like me?" Hou Chunyu snorted coldly, "Oh, you probably also forgot that you have an apprentice."

"Your apprentice..."

Hou Chunyu kept on talking to Qi Chunde, and Qi Chunde felt numb listening to his master's words. All the things his master said were about Gu Mo, but every word of his was like a whip hitting him.

Gu Mo's Golden Elixir cultivation was actually just his most insignificant achievement. He also refined the top-grade Tuomai Pills and Yaoyang Pills, cultivated the Sunlight Glazed Flower, and created a new spiritual plant, the Torch Tree Stump. Each of these was an extremely amazing achievement.

Qi Chunde had never achieved such an achievement because he put most of his energy into the new cultivation method he had invented.

"Do you still want to continue with your immature practice method now?" Hou Chunyu asked finally.

Hou Chunyu admitted that the cultivation method created by Qi Chunde was amazing, but even a late Nascent Soul cultivator like him would not dare to easily try to create a new method of cultivation. Only a higher level Spirit Transformation cultivator would have a high enough vision to create a new method of cultivation.

Qi Chunde is a Jindan, but he is trying to innovate. It is simply a waste of time. If he is delayed even a little, his life will be over.

"Master, I have made a new breakthrough and I will continue." When Qi Chunde mentioned the new skills he created, his eyes were full of determination.

"you……"

Seeing that Qi Chunde ignored all of his words, Hou Chunyu was also very angry, "It's up to you, but you are not allowed to teach your messed up skills to your apprentice."

Faced with the stubborn Qi Chunde, Hou Chunyu gave up. His disciple was just such a stubborn person. Fortunately, his disciple was still very well-behaved.

"Master, this is my disciple..." Qi Chunde said hesitantly.

"Get lost, your broken technique doesn't even have a follow-up. Do you want to harm your apprentice?" Hou Chunyu said angrily, "Wait until you have completely perfected your technique."

After being scolded badly, Qi Chunde left Hou Chunyu's cave in disgrace. However, Qi Chunde secretly swore in his heart that he would practice the martial arts he created and then shock everyone.

However, before this, Qi Chunde had been shocked and numbed by the performance of his disciple Gu Mo.

Qi Chunde's Leaf Courtyard. Wei Yang and several other fellow disciples gathered together to celebrate Qi Chunde's return. During the celebration, Qi Chunde was naturally blamed by everyone for not reporting back after being away for so long.

"Senior Brother Wei, what realm is the disciple you accepted before I left at now?" Qi Chunde, who was being besieged, suddenly changed the subject.

"The foundation has been established to perfection." Wei Yang replied.

"Oh~~"

Hearing this, Qi Chunde stretched out his voice and said, "Alas, my disciple has already reached the Golden Core stage. Things have really changed."

"Sigh~~"

Hearing Qi Chunde's words, the people present all widened their eyes. "How dare you say that? I heard from Junior Brother Gu Mo that he practiced by himself. What did you do as a master?"

"Yes, yes."

"Junior Brother Qi, how about you let Junior Brother Gu Mo go to me?"

"That's right. Senior Brother Qi, your cultivation level is about to be caught up by Junior Brother Gu Mo. It's time for Junior Brother Gu Mo to start his apprenticeship!"

Qi Chunde's words were like stirring up a hornet's nest, and he was immediately attacked by everyone. In the end, Qi Chunde had no choice but to raise his hands in surrender.

"By the way, why isn't Senior Sister Xiaohua here?" Qi Chunde changed the subject again.

"Senior Sister Xiaohua is helping your apprentice manage the spiritual field. She will be here in a while." Wei Yang said with a strange look. Everyone in Shennong Valley knew that Xiaohua, the new elder, was closest to Gu Mo.

Disciples of Shennong Valley often see Xiaohua helping Gu Mo deliver things. Gu Mo is the only one in the entire Shennong Valley who can order an elder around like this.

"what!"

Wei Yang's words made Qi Chunde confused again. He understood every word of the words, but when they were put together, they sounded extremely strange.

"Junior Brother Xiao Qi, you're back!"

When Qi Chunde was confused, a crisp voice rang out. Upon hearing it, Qi Chunde hurriedly looked towards the source of the voice, but there was nothing there.

"Here, here!"

The crisp voice sounded again. Upon hearing it, Qi Chunde lowered his head and saw a little person the size of a palm. It was indeed the appearance of his familiar Senior Sister Xiaohua, but why did Senior Sister Xiaohua become so small?
"wrong!"

Qi Chunde stared at the palm-sized Xiaohua with astonishment in his eyes, "Senior Sister Xiaohua, you have already entered the 4th level."

"That's right! Xiao Qi, from now on you have to call me Elder Xiaohua!" Xiaohua said proudly, putting his hands on his hips.

Night falls.

The fellow disciples dispersed one after another. Qi Chunde looked up at the night sky, thinking back on everything that happened today. A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

How could Qi Chunde have the good fortune to have such a brilliant disciple? Moreover, this disciple's achievements were all achieved through his own efforts, not taught by him as his master.

In other words, Gu Mo is no less capable than his master in cultivation and spiritual plant master attainments, and as for alchemy, he is far ahead of Qi Chunde.

Thinking of this, Qi Chunde felt that as a master, he actually had nothing left to teach his disciples.

"No, how can I, as a master, be surpassed by my apprentice?" Qi Chunde took a deep breath. All these years of wandering, Qi Chunde was not without gain. At least, he had found a feasible way for the cultivation method he created.

Now he is continuing to move forward on this path. Once he succeeds, he can directly skip the entire Jindan stage and enter the Yuanying Zhenjun level.

The Yin Corpse Sect.

"What is going on? Why did Zero's soul lamp go out?" The leader of the Yinshi Sect said with a sense of death and desolation in his voice.

The death of a true disciple is enough to alarm a figure at the level of the sect master.

"Master, the place where Zerro's true teachings fell is in the righteous territory. It is difficult for us to collect more information at the moment." An elder in charge of intelligence in the Yinshi Sect spoke up.

"I see!"

Upon hearing that the sect's true disciple had fallen in the righteous territory, the Yinshi Sect's leader immediately guessed what had happened.

It was obvious that he went to the righteous territory to collect materials, and was later discovered by the righteous Yuanying Zhenjun. Although the righteous and evil sides have agreed not to attack each other's geniuses.

But this only applies to the geniuses in their own territory. If they go to the other party's territory, it is not within the agreement. Therefore, the Yinshi Sect can only swallow this loss.

But in this case, the Demon Sect would be missing a top fighter in this battle of geniuses, which would be very unfavorable to the battle situation. Moreover, it is not in the Demon Sect's character to just swallow their anger.

"Go and spread the news that a treasure has appeared on the border between good and evil, close to my Demon Sect." The leader of the Yinshi Sect spoke.

The righteous and the evil sides agreed that they would not cross the line to kill the other side's genius, but if the other side's genius took the initiative to enter the evil sect's territory and was killed, it would not be considered a violation of the rules.

It is obvious that the leader of the Yinshi Sect wants to use this method to attract the geniuses of the righteous path and then eliminate them. In this way, the Yinshi Sect can get rid of its anger and also eliminate a large number of geniuses of the righteous path, thus laying a great advantage for the upcoming battle of geniuses.

As for whether those righteous geniuses would be fooled, the leader of the Yinshi Sect has full confidence, because the treasure is real and it is a treasure worthy enough to make people jealous.

Faced with opportunities, few cultivators can maintain a normal mentality. In addition, the place where the treasure appears is on the border between good and evil. As long as they get the treasure and quickly return to the righteous territory, they can ensure their safety.

In this situation, I believe many Tianjiao would take the risk to try it. But as long as they dare to try, they will die.

Yin Yang Sword Sect.

"I'm finally back!" Ming Yueyue looked at the sword peak in the distance and couldn't help but let out a long breath. Thinking back on this experience, Ming Yueyue couldn't help but feel a little dazed.

"Yueyue, remember to keep this matter confidential." Ding Shiyan reminded Ming Yueyue.

The death of a true disciple of the Yinshi Sect is a serious matter. If a true disciple of the Yinyang Sword Sect or Shennong Valley had died, their sects would definitely conduct a full investigation.

If the Yinshi Sect knew that they were involved in the demise of their true disciples, they would probably take revenge. Although, as they were ranked on the Tianjiao List, they were already targets for the Demon Sect to kill, so it would naturally be best to reduce the attention as much as possible.

"Do not worry."

Ming Yueyue nodded, "Then Sister Ding, we'll see you in the Tianjiao battle."

The training of Gu Mo and the other two will come to an end today. Who could have thought that they would encounter the true disciples of the Yinshi Sect while going out for training? This is too dangerous. Therefore, Ding Shiyan plans to end the training now and return to Shennong Valley.
