Plants vs. Cultivation.

Chapter 256 Resolving the Lu Family’s Dilemma
When Gu Mo set foot on the land of Qinghe Xiuxian World again, he couldn't help but feel a little emotional. When he left, he was just a small foundation-building cultivator. Because of the Fenghua Sect's hunt, he had no choice but to cross the ocean to avoid being hunted down.

Now, he has returned again, and his cultivation has entered the realm of Yuanying Zhenjun. In the Qinghe cultivation world where there are no Huashen Venerables, Yuanying Zhenjun is already the ceiling.

However, Gu Mo did not go to Fenghua Sect to settle the cause and effect immediately just because his cultivation became stronger. According to the information Gu Mo had previously obtained, Fenghua Sect had two Nascent Soul True Lords, and their realms were both in the early Nascent Soul stage. Such strength was no longer a threat to Gu Mo now.

But this was just Fenghua Sect showing off its strength to the outside world. Fenghua Sect came from Tianyuan Immortal Cultivation World. When Gu Mo was in Tianyuan Immortal Cultivation World, he also investigated Fenghua Sect.

Although various intelligence has proven that the Fenghua Sect is just an ordinary Nascent Soul Sect, there are still some unexplainable doubts.

Therefore, Gu Mo suspected that Fenghua Sect was not as simple as it seemed, so even if he wanted to settle the cause and effect, Gu Mo needed to investigate Fenghua Sect first. Especially in the past few years, Gu Mo's information about Fenghua Sect was almost blank.

In addition to the cause and effect with Fenghua Sect, Gu Mo also has some other causes and effects to settle.

For example, the cause and effect of Lu Lingmei's family. Yuntian Immortal City, as the largest immortal city in the Qinghe immortal world, is also a very good place to gather intelligence.

So when Gu Mo arrived at the first stop of Qinghe Xiuxian World, he chose to go to Yuntian Immortal City.

Yuntian Fairy City.

This largest fairy city in the Qinghe Xiuxian world is still as prosperous as before, but for some people, the prosperity of the fairy city has nothing to do with them.

"Still no one is willing to trade with us?" Fang Jiaoyan rubbed her eyebrows, her face full of fatigue.

"Yes."

The core member of the Lu family who was in charge of the purchasing transaction gave a wry smile.

In the beginning, there were actually people who would secretly trade with them. After all, if you have the chance, you’re a fool not to make money. But as the Fenghua Sect continued to display its powerful strength, gradually no one dared to trade with the Lu family anymore.

This made it impossible to sell some of the spiritual plants cultivated by the Lu family, and they could not purchase the resources needed for cultivation. Under this circumstance, the cultivation progress of the Lu family's cultivators was extremely slow, almost stagnant.

If this situation continues for a few decades, the Lu family will change from a family of immortal cultivators to an ordinary mortal family.

The reason for all this is just a simple hint from Fenghua Sect. However, this simple hint is enough to make it difficult for a cultivation family like the Lu family to gain a foothold.

If this wasn't an immortal city, someone would have wanted to capture the Lu family and seek credit from the Fenghua Sect. Therefore, the dilemma faced by the Lu family is not just the inability to trade for cultivation resources, but also having to face all kinds of difficulties.

But even so, the Lu family could only endure it silently. Although it was difficult in the Immortal City, they could still breathe. If they left the Yuntian Immortal City, the destruction of the Lu family would be in an instant.

"I don't know how Lingmei is doing now." Fang Jiaoyan thought of her daughter who was sent away by her. This was also the only hope for the Lu family to break the impasse.

As long as Lu Lingmei can join those top sects, the situation of the Lu family will be much better, even if it cannot be resolved immediately.

Although Fenghua Sect is powerful, it has nothing to do with the top sects. Therefore, the identity of a disciple of a top sect is enough to prevent Fenghua Sect from continuing to target the Lu family.

"Master, it's bad, the Wang family is here again!" At this time, a servant of the Lu family came running over. As soon as the servant passed on the message, a young man strode in.

Seeing this, Fang Jiaoyan's beautiful eyes were filled with anger, but she still endured it because she couldn't afford to offend the Lu family.

"Beauty, what do you think?" The young man looked at Fang Jiaoyan's angry expression with a faint smile on his face. "Now I am an outer disciple of Fenghua Sect. As long as you are willing to obey me, your Lu family's predicament can be solved now."

"impossible."

Fang Jiaoyan refused without hesitation.

"Beauty, I advise you to think it over before you speak. I like you and I'm giving you a chance." The young man's face turned cold when he heard this. "You are a married woman, why are you pretending to be a chaste woman here? Do you still want to wait for your lover to help you? I advise you to give up. Your lover has long been beaten to death by my sect's ancestor."

"The current predicament of your Lu family is all caused by your mistress. If you don't want the Lu family to disappear, I advise you to give up those unrealistic fantasies."

"It should be you who gives up your unrealistic fantasies." Fang Jiaoyan said coldly.

"very good!"

Faced with Fang Jiaoyan's unyielding attitude, the young man was a little annoyed. He was just an outer disciple in Fenghua Sect. He wanted to go further. Even if he could not become an inner disciple, he wanted to get a good position. However, the competition in Fenghua Sect was too fierce.

With his cultivation strength, it is almost impossible for him to get a good position.

For this reason, the young man wanted to find other ways, and then the Lu family came into his sight. The sect was naturally displeased with the Lu family who were involved with the sect's enemies, but the other party was in the Immortal City, so it was not convenient for the sect to take direct action.

So the young man thought of using the Lu family to make merit and help himself get a good position in the sect. As for the starting point of the plan, it was Fang Jiaoyan's beauty.

When the young man first met the patriarch of the Lu family, he was a little surprised. Compared with those young sisters in the sect, her mature beauty was completely different.

It's a pity that such a beauty still needs to be gotten rid of after being used and enjoyed. After all, one's own future is the most important.

But the idea was good, but when it came to actual implementation, the young man ran into obstacles again and again, which made him extremely annoyed, and it was not easy for him to take direct action in the Immortal City.

Besides, Fang Jiaoyan's cultivation is not weaker than his, so facing Fang Jiaoyan's rejection, the young man had no choice but to make some harsh words. At most, he could continue to target the Lu family.

Many of the difficulties that the Lu family encountered during this period were caused by him. Only by making the Lu family feel the difficulties could Fang Jiaoyan surrender.

Now it seems that this difficulty is not great enough.

Looking at the young man who left in anger, Fang Jiaoyan let out a long sigh. She knew that the situation of the Lu family would continue to deteriorate, but she was very clear that if she gave in, that would be a real disaster.

As for Master Hu who brought this predicament to the Lu family, Fang Jiaoyan did not have any resentment in her heart. After all, if it were not for Master Hu, the Lu family would have been destroyed long ago.

Master Hu was also the target of Fang Jiaoyan's first voluntary surrender, but her surrender also brought many benefits to the Lu family.

At least the Lu family was able to send Lu Lingmei away and have been able to hold on until now in this difficult situation. This is all thanks to the legacy of Master Hu.

Even if there had been no suggestion from Fenghua Sect, the Lu family could have lived well with the help of Master Hu's legacy.

The young man, whose plan failed, left the Lu family cursing. At this time, a man and two women were walking towards the Lu family.

The young man glanced at the man and two women, and quickly recalled the important members of the Lu family in his mind, but did not find the corresponding people. It was obvious that these three people were not from the Lu family.

Who would have any contact with the Lu family at this time? Thinking of this, the young man stretched out his hand to stop the three people, "Don't you know the consequences of interacting with the Lu family?"

He had spent so much effort to isolate the Lu family, so naturally he didn't want to see the Lu family have any contact with others. "Oh, what are the consequences?"

Being stopped suddenly, Gu Mo became curious.

The man and two women were naturally Gu Mo, Chu Feifei and Lu Lingmei. At this moment, all three of them were disguised. After all, Gu Mo was not prepared to fight directly with Fenghua Sect for the time being, so he naturally could not reveal his identity.

"The Lu family has been listed as an unwelcome target by my Fenghua Sect. If you want to interact with the Lu family, you have to consider the consequences of offending the Fenghua Sect." The young man pulled up the flag of the Fenghua Sect.

Today, Fenghua Sect is definitely one of the largest sects in the Qinghe cultivation world, especially in recent years, the third Yuanying Zhenjun was born in Fenghua Sect.

This was the information that Gu Mo obtained after coming to Yuntian Immortal City. The Fenghua Sect did have something. With three Yuanying True Lords, they were definitely a dominant force in the Qinghe Immortal Cultivation World.

Anyone facing such a dominant sect would be afraid, which is why the situation of the Lu family will continue to deteriorate. It is the result of the Fenghua Sect's continuous improvement in strength.

"Junior sister, I leave it to you."

Faced with a young foundation-building cultivator, Gu Mo was too lazy to argue with him and directly threw the matter to Lu Lingmei to handle.

"it is good!"

Hearing this, Lu Lingmei stepped forward, stared at the young man and said, "So, have you ever considered the consequences of offending Shennong Valley?" As she spoke, Lu Lingmei revealed her identity as a disciple of Shennong Valley.

This was also what Gu Mo and Lu Lingmei had discussed. To resolve the Lu family's predicament, Gu Mo did not need to take action personally. Lu Lingmei's identity as a disciple of Shennong Valley was enough.

"Shennong Valley! You are Lu Lingmei!"

As Lu Lingmei revealed her identity as a Shennong Valley girl, she also took off her disguise. Her naturally charming and seductive appearance instantly reminded the young man of the Lu family's eldest daughter.

He had been searching for this legitimate daughter for a long time but had no clues. He thought that the Lu family had hidden her away. Unexpectedly, Lu Lingmei actually traveled across the ocean and became a disciple of Shennong Valley, the top sect in the Tianyuan cultivation world.

As a disciple of Fenghua Sect, he naturally knew a lot about the information of Tianyuan Realm, and he also understood the value of the top sect disciples.

In front of the top sects, Fenghua Sect is just a small shrimp.

"This is not over yet!"

The young man made a harsh remark and left quickly. This matter needed to be reported to the sect. The Lu family, which had been ignored before, suddenly got on the road to Shennong Valley, which might help the Lu family get out of the predicament.

If the Lu family escapes from the predicament, it will be a slap in the face of Fenghua Sect. The young man feels that the sect will take this matter seriously, so he needs to report the information in time, so that he can make a good impression.

Gu Mo did not stop the young man from leaving, because he also needed him to spread the news.

Only when everyone knows that the Lu family has established a relationship with Shennong Valley can the Lu family's predicament be completely resolved. In addition, Gu Mo also wants to create some obstacles for Fenghua Sect.

With him, the true elder of Shennong Valley, taking the lead, Gu Mo felt that the major sects in Qinghe's immortal cultivation world would be happy to make Fenghua Sect suffer a setback. After all, Fenghua Sect was too powerful, which had already caused dissatisfaction among other sects.

Of course, this was also what those sects had brought upon themselves. They stood idly by when Qinglu Sect was in trouble, and now this is their retribution.

"Lingmei!"

Hearing the noise outside, Fang Jiaoyan ran out quickly, saw Lu Lingmei, and immediately hugged her with a look of surprise.

Because she had just heard about Lu Lingmei revealing her identity as a disciple of Shennong Valley. Fang Jiaoyan had never thought that Lu Lingmei would successfully join a top sect in such a short time.

"Lingmei, who are these two..." Fang Jiaoyan glanced at Gu Mo and Chu Feifei in excitement. With Fang Jiaoyan's cultivation level at the foundation-building stage, she naturally could not see through their disguises.

"Mother, this is the senior brother of the sect. He takes good care of me. This time, it is the senior brother who accompanied me." Lu Lingmei introduced Gu Mo in this way. This was also the explanation they gave to each other before they came.

Master Gu Mohu's identity obviously cannot be revealed, otherwise, Fenghua Sect would know what is going on as soon as they hear it.

"I've met senior!"

Upon hearing that he was the eldest senior brother of a top sect like Shennong Valley, Fang Jiaoyan was shocked and quickly saluted. She had previously thought that this was a companion her daughter met on the way. After all, her daughter was a disciple of Shennong Valley, so naturally there would be people willing to make friends with her.

Unexpectedly, this person turned out to be a senior brother-level figure in Shennong Valley. In Fang Jiaoyan's opinion, anyone who could be given the title of senior brother would definitely not be a simple person.

"No need to be polite!"

Gu Mo nodded with a smile. Since he was going to act as the eldest senior brother of Shennong Valley, he naturally had to behave accordingly.

"This senior sister is the Taoist companion of the eldest senior brother." Lu Lingmei then introduced Chu Feifei, and Lu Lingmei knew that this senior sister would not be disgusted by such an introduction.

"what!"

Upon hearing this, Fang Jiaoyan was stunned. She was just thinking that the senior brother from Shennong Valley was willing to accompany her daughter. This must mean that he had a crush on Lingmei. Fang Jiaoyan was happy to see this. After all, with such a strong backer, Lingmei's future would be smoother.

Who would have thought that the eldest senior brother of Shennong Valley already had a Taoist partner? But on second thought, with his daughter's talent, it seems unlikely for her to become the Taoist partner of the eldest senior brother of a top sect.

I just hope that this eldest senior brother from a top sect wouldn't be the kind of person who would toy with Lingmei's feelings.

"Lingmei was accepted into my sect. She is my junior sister and also half-disciple." Seeing the subtle change in Fang Jiaoyan's expression, Gu Mo had to explain.

"what!"

Gu Mo's words made Fang Jiaoyan stunned. She felt that it would be better for them to be lovers.

"Dear guests, please come in!"

Fang Jiaoyan had experienced many ups and downs before, so she quickly calmed herself down and invited Gu Mo and Chu Feifei into the house and treated them well. After all, these two would be the Lu family's future supporters.

"Elder, this is absolutely true!"

At the same time, a beam of light was rushing towards the Lu family. In the beam of light was the young man who had left before, and a middle-aged cultivator emitting the aura of a golden elixir.
