Plants vs. Cultivation.

Chapter 255: Subjugating the Dragon Blood Kelp
The other person traveling with Gu Mo was naturally Chu Feifei. Gu Mo had contacted her before using the little smoke beast that Chu Feifei left for him. Upon learning that Gu Mo was going to return to Qinghe's immortal world to settle the cause and effect, Chu Feifei also planned to go with him.

The cause and effect relationship between Chu Feifei and Qinglu Sect had actually been settled long ago by her master, the Fairy Baihua of Baihua Sect. However, the settlement of cause and effect does not mean that there is no cause and effect. It’s just that the target of this cause and effect is no longer Qinglu Sect, but a specific person.

Now, under the dedicated training of Baihua Sect, Chu Feifei's cultivation has improved rapidly. She is no longer inferior to the top disciples of the top sects. Although she has not been able to break through to the Nascent Soul stage, her combat power is enough to fight against the Nascent Soul True Lord.

It is precisely because of this combat power that the Baihua Sect is willing to release him. After all, the combat power at the Nascent Soul level is definitely enough to protect oneself when going to the Qinghe Immortal Cultivation World.

Not to mention that the Baihua Sect will definitely equip Chu Feifei with all kinds of life-saving props.

Gu Mo brought Lu Lingmei and quietly came to a seaside fairy city in the Tianyuan Xiuxian Realm, which was the meeting place he and Chu Feifei had agreed to meet.

Although the Demon Sect has reduced its attention on the righteous geniuses at the moment, it is always a good idea to keep a low profile.

"Brother, there seems to be an auction in this fairy city? Shall we go take a look?"

Lu Lingmei held Gu Mo's arm. It was a rare opportunity for her to be alone with Gu Mo, but Lu Lingmei obviously had not given up on her strategy to conquer Gu Mo.

After becoming a disciple of Shennong Valley, Lu Lingmei finally realized how outstanding this senior brother was. This was the greatest opportunity in her life, so she naturally had to seize it.

Of course, having been criticized by Gu Mo before, Lu Lingmei behaved properly this time and did not stick too close to Gu Mo. Gu Mo could not say anything and could only let her hold his arm.

"No, go find someone first."

Gu Mo refused without hesitation. With his current wealth, ordinary auctions in Xiancheng were no longer worth his attention.

The meeting with Chu Feifei went smoothly, because after entering the fairy city, the little smoke beast left by Chu Feifei became the best guide, allowing Gu Mo to quickly find Chu Feifei's location.

"Gu Mo, this is..."

Chu Feifei looked at Lu Lingmei beside Gu Mo and asked curiously. Chu Feifei was only curious about Lu Lingmei's appearance. Even though this girl was born with a charming figure, it could not make Chu Feifei feel any fluctuations.

Her relationship with Gu Mo started when they were in humble beginnings. The two of them were the most trustworthy friends. For a monk, it was extremely lucky to have even one such friend in a lifetime. Most monks lived their entire lives in intrigue and deception, without a single trustworthy friend.

Therefore, Chu Feifei was not worried at all that anyone would replace her position in Gu Mo's heart.

"This is my junior sister from my lineage, and she also came from the Qinghe Immortal Cultivation World." Gu Mo briefly talked about what happened when she took refuge in the Lu family.

"I've met Senior Sister!"

Lu Lingmei saluted very obediently. In front of this senior sister, Lu Lingmei felt a huge pressure. Although this senior sister was surrounded by a faint mist, making it difficult to see her true appearance, she must be a great beauty. Apart from that, she could not see through this senior sister's cultivation level.

But anyone who could get to know her senior brother must be a genius of the same level. Thinking of this, Lu Lingmei felt even more pressured.

With a competitor like this, how could she win?

But on second thought, Lu Lingmei felt that she didn't need to compete with this senior sister. She could just change her track. For example, she could play the role of a cute and caring junior sister.

"Hello, Junior Sister Lu." Chu Feifei responded with a smile.

After meeting, the three did not stay in the Immortal City for long, and chose to set off directly to Qinghe Immortal Realm. After all, the longer they stayed outside, the greater the chance of being discovered.

For this reason, the three of them did not choose to take the merchant ships traveling between the two regions, but chose to cross the ocean on their own. With Gu Mo's cultivation level at the Nascent Soul stage, he could cross the ocean on his own. As long as he did not go to some special forbidden areas, there would be no threat.

In the endless blue ocean.

There is a golden ribbon flying by. Looking closely, it is not a ribbon at all, but a golden stream of light brought by a huge golden koi flying by.

This golden koi is naturally a small carp. The journey across the ocean is long, so it is impossible for Gu Mo to fly by himself the entire way. Even though Gu Mo has the Nascent Soul of Heaven and Earth and does not have to worry about running out of true energy and magic power, Chu Feifei and Lu Lingmei beside him cannot be like him.

Moreover, the little carp is quite fast in the sea.

Of course, the golden little carp would inevitably attract some attention in the sea, but most of the eyes retreated after sensing the aura of the little carp, a peak level 3 demon.

As for those who have no tact, Xiaoli can easily deal with them. Xiaoli has a talent for controlling water and his combat power in the sea is not weak.

"Xiao Li, you are actually this strong now."

Chu Feifei touched the delicate golden scales of the little carp and felt a little emotional. When she first saw the little carp, it was just a silly little koi. Now the little carp can definitely be regarded as a dominant force in the sea.

"Master, master, a powerful big guy is coming." Suddenly, Xiaoli's nervous voice came.

There was no need for Xiaoli to remind him, Gu Mo had discovered long ago that the person coming this time was an 'acquaintance', the 4th level demon king Dragon Blood Kelp, which meant that they were not far from the Qinghe cultivation world.

"Crash!"

As soon as Xiaoli finished speaking, a dark green kelp dragon suddenly emerged from the sea ahead. It was the dragon blood kelp that Gu Mo encountered on his way to Tianyuan Immortal Realm.

Back then, when Gu Mo faced this level 4 dragon blood kelp, he could only run away, but now... Gu Mo stretched out his hand to hold down Chu Feifei who was about to attack. Chu Feifei's fighting power was naturally not afraid of this dragon blood kelp, but in the sea, Chu Feifei was also unable to do anything to this dragon blood kelp.

“This is not easy to deal with.”

Chu Feifei spoke. She naturally knew Gu Mo's fighting ability. She had carefully watched the information about the Tianjiao War. Others didn't know what the formation that Gu Mo used to block the attack of the Nascent Soul Demon Lord was, but Chu Feifei knew it best because she designed that formation.

At this moment, everyone is in the sea, which is obviously not a suitable place to set up the nut array.

"fine!"

Gu Mo waved his hands. He didn’t need to set up the nut array now.

Standing up and jumping off the back of Xiaoli, Gu Mo walked towards the Dragon Blood Kelp, but the Dragon Blood Kelp's eyes were fixed on Xiaoli. The reason why the Dragon Blood Kelp appeared was mainly because it was attracted by Xiaoli's breath.

The little carp has true dragon blood in its body, so it is naturally attracted to the dragon blood kelp that also has dragon blood. In addition, the little carp, which has been swallowing the essence of the sun to grow, also has the scent of the sun's essence on its body. This scent has been what the dragon blood kelp has been looking for for many years.

"Why don't you follow me? I can give you what you want." Gu Mo said.

Gu Mo was still very interested in special spiritual plant demon kings like the Dragon Blood Kelp, but his strength was not enough before. Even though Gu Mo had the essence of the sun in his hand, he did not dare to expose it. Now that he has enough strength, there will naturally be no problem.

"Roar!"

In response to Gu Mo's recruitment, Long Xuehai responded with an angry roar. It was obvious that the 4th-level demon king could not be subdued with just a few words, so a fight was unavoidable.

Raising his hand, a blade of the spiritual treasure-level golden shears appeared in Gu Mo's hand, and the next moment a big sun emerged in the sea.

The Dragon Blood Kelp felt the rising sun and a strong sense of crisis arose in its heart. Without any hesitation, the Dragon Blood Kelp turned around and ran.

But it was not easy to lure the dragon blood kelp here, how could Gu Mo let it escape so easily? In an instant, the sun turned into a golden crow and fell. The sea water where the golden crow fell evaporated, exposing the dragon blood kelp in it.

"Roar!"

Seeing that it couldn't escape, the Dragon Blood Kelp roared and launched a counterattack, but the final result ended with the Dragon Blood Kelp being seriously injured. This was because Gu Mo was holding back. Otherwise, if he had used all his strength, the Dragon Blood Kelp in the early stage of the 4th stage would not have been able to withstand it.

"Come and recover from your injuries."

Gu Mo took out a portion of 4th-level solar essence and threw it to the dragon blood kelp whose breath was weak.

Seeing the sun essence that Gu Mo took out, and the sun aura that was even more powerful than what it had been looking for before, the Dragon Blood Kelp only felt the dragon blood in its body churning. That was something that could help it go further.

"How about it? Do you want to hang out with me?"

Gu Mo asked after the Dragon Blood Kelp absorbed the 4th level solar essence.

"Okay, from today on, you are my boss!" After a moment of silence, a deep voice sounded in Gu Mo's ears.

The wisdom of a 4th-level demon king is no less than that of a cultivator. He naturally knows how to make choices. He sacrifices his freedom in exchange for something extremely important to him. In the eyes of Dragon Blood Kelp, this is a completely worthwhile deal.

"Gu Mo, you, you..."

When Gu Mo came back with a dark green belt wrapped around his waist, Chu Feifei's eyes were full of shock. She obviously did not expect that Gu Mo had already become a Yuanying Zhenjun.

Chu Feifei thought that her cultivation speed was very fast, but compared with Gu Mo, it was completely terrible.

Moreover, there was no news about Gu Mo's breakthrough. Logically speaking, a true breakthrough of Shennong Gu's Gu Mo could not be concealed no matter what.

"This matter must be kept secret."

Gu Mo smiled but said nothing. It was indeed inconvenient for him to talk about his sudden achievement of becoming a Yuanying Zhenjun. This time when he went to Qinghe Xiuxian Realm, Gu Mo also planned to find a reason for his breakthrough. When others asked him about it, Gu Mo would say that he got the opportunity in Qinghe Xiuxian Realm and that was how he broke through.

Otherwise, a silent breakthrough would inevitably attract attention, and once someone observes it with a magnifying glass, some clues would inevitably be revealed.

"Ok!"

Chu Feifei nodded. Gu Mo was willing to reveal such an important secret to her. This was trust.

As for Lu Lingmei, she had just established her foundation and it was probably difficult for her to judge Gu Mo's true level of cultivation. Therefore, Lu Lingmei seemed very calm about Gu Mo's performance just now. After all, she had long been aware of how powerful her senior brother was.

At this moment, Lu Lingmei was helping Xiaoli collect the dragon blood kelp fragments cut by Gu Mo. These kelp fragments all contained dragon blood, which was also very attractive to Xiaoli.

After finishing the packing, Xiaoli continued to carry Gu Mo and the other two towards the Qinghe Immortal Realm. Since they encountered the dragon blood kelp, it meant that they were not far from the Qinghe Immortal Realm. Sure enough, it didn't take long for Gu Mo to see the continent in the distance.
