Plants vs. Cultivation.

Chapter 35 Infiltration

In response to the questions from those menial disciples, Gu Mo answered them fluently. After receiving Gu Mo's affirmative answers, several of them immediately expressed their willingness to join Lingzhi Hall.

The treatment of an outer disciple is enough to make many people change their choices. Although they need to undergo tests to obtain this treatment, it is still very attractive. Obtaining the treatment of an outer disciple and having a spiritual field of their own is definitely an opportunity to change their destiny.

Of course, some menial disciples who are more confident in themselves will still choose one of the elixirs, weapons, formations, and talismans, because in their opinion the upper limit of spiritual farming is too low.

Gu Mo didn't care about this. Not to mention spiritual farmers, even spiritual plant masters were at the bottom of the list among the hundreds of arts of cultivating immortals, and could not be compared with the four major professions of alchemy, weapons, formations, and talismans.

Of course, this only applies to low-level ones. No matter which profession, once it reaches a high level, it will be sought after.

Take the Spiritual Plant Master for example. The Spiritual Jade Rice that is now widely circulated in the world of cultivation was cultivated by a Spiritual Plant Master. The cultivators today can eat spiritual rice thanks to this Spiritual Plant Master.

He gathered several errand disciples who were willing to join Lingzhitang, and then Gu Mo handed them over to Mai Yunfa, who was responsible for recruiting people. Gu Mo was only there to help with publicity.

"Good good!"

It has not been long since he arrived and someone wants to join Lingzhi Church, which makes Mai Yunfa very excited. At this moment, he has begun to imagine the reward from Deacon Zhao after successfully completing the recruitment task.

Afterwards, Gu Mo set out again and took the initiative to extend invitations to the menial disciples in the menial disciples area, including those who had not yet entered the Qi Refining Stage.

The senior brothers of Lingzhitang took the initiative to invite them, and offered the treatment of outer disciples if they joined. One can imagine how tempting it was for those menial disciples. Except for those with firm goals, many menial disciples expressed their willingness to join Lingzhitang.

"Mai Yunfa, aren't you going too far in your Lingzhi Hall?" After discovering the situation, the disciples in charge of recruiting people from other peaks in the Personnel Hall complained to Mai Yunfa.

As a result of Gu Mo's actions, 4% of these menial disciples expressed their willingness to join Lingzhitang. What should they do? The Dan, Qi, Zhen and Fu peaks were fine as they never worried about lack of people, but the other peaks were not so lucky.

"You can also go and recruit people. I'm not stopping you." Mai Yunfa curled his lips. After learning that Lingzhi Hall might get 40% of these menial disciples, he has been in a state of excitement.

"Humph!"

Having hit a snag, the other peak disciples snorted coldly and said nothing more.

They wanted to learn from Lingzhitang to recruit people. If they, the outer disciples, did not want to go, they could find a menial disciple in the peak. However, other peaks did not have any additional benefits to offer. It was absolutely impossible for them to give the same treatment to the outer disciples as Lingzhitang.

The Spiritual Planting Hall has uncultivated spiritual fields outside the valley, which can be used as a reward for the menial disciples who voluntarily join, but other peaks do not have this. For example, in the Beast Control Peak, the reward for the outer disciples is a spiritual beast or a pseudo-spiritual beast with a high probability of becoming a spiritual beast.

And this obviously cannot be given to menial disciples. The number of menial disciples in the Beast Taming Peak is even greater than the spiritual beasts. The newly joined menial disciples can only do some odd jobs at first, and need to wait a few years to see their performance before they can be assigned an ordinary pseudo-spiritual beast.

In this situation, the Beast Taming Peak is simply unable to compete with the Spiritual Planting Hall and can only watch as the Spiritual Planting Hall recruits people.

The area for menial disciples, a very ordinary courtyard.

This courtyard looks very ordinary from the outside, but at this moment, a high-level magic array is set up inside to isolate the aura. Two figures shrouded in black mist are sitting opposite each other. "Brother, this is the list of the last few years." The figure sitting on the right took out a dozen jade talismans, each with a name on it, and Gu Mo's name was among them.

"Not bad!"

The figure sitting on the left glanced at the number of jade cards and nodded with satisfaction.

"Brother, why do we have to infiltrate these menial disciples? Wouldn't it be better to choose those outer disciples or even inner disciples?" Seeing that the figure on the left was very satisfied with his performance, the figure on the right couldn't help but express his doubts.

They migrated here from faraway foreign lands, and were in urgent need of a spiritual vein temple to settle down. Unfortunately, the spiritual veins here were either occupied by the big clans or by powerful monsters, and there were no ownerless spiritual veins at all.

In order to continue the sect, they could only rob other people's spiritual veins and temples. After some searching, Qinglu Sect became their target.

Because among the top sects in this world of immortal cultivation, only Qinglu Sect possesses a 4th-level spiritual vein, but there is no Nascent Soul-level cultivator in charge.

It is said that the Nascent Soul ancestor of Qinglu Sect died while exploring a relic decades ago. The Nascent Soul cultivators of other sects witnessed this with their own eyes, so it is definitely true.

Therefore, Qinglu Sect is the softest persimmon among the major sects in this world of immortal cultivation. But even so, it is not so easy to seize the spiritual veins and dojo of a Nascent Soul-level sect. Even if Qinglu Sect does not have Nascent Soul-level combat power, its sect formation is enough to resist the invasion of Nascent Soul cultivators.

Moreover, as foreign monks, if they forcefully attacked Qinglu Sect, there was no guarantee that other local sects would not intervene. After many considerations, using the method of infiltration to disintegrate Qinglu Sect from within became the best solution.

From the perspective of the figure on the right, if they want to infiltrate Qinglu Sect, the best option is to choose outer or even inner disciples with higher status, but currently they are only infiltrating those menial disciples who are not getting much attention.

"A thousand-mile dam can be breached by a single ant hole. Although menial disciples are inconspicuous, they are the easiest to infiltrate. At the same time, these menial disciples are involved in the foundation of Qinglu Sect's major industries. If you want to truly decline a major sect, you need to nibble away at its foundation bit by bit." The figure on the left seemed to be in a good mood and explained patiently.

Of course, what he didn't say is that if one could really infiltrate the outer sect or even the inner sect disciples, who would be willing to infiltrate these menial disciples? It's not that there is no way around it.

As a Nascent Soul sect that has existed for more than a thousand years, Qinglu Sect naturally has a set of methods to prevent important disciples within the sect from being infiltrated.

The two of them also spent a lot of money within the sect to successfully infiltrate the middle and lower levels of Qinglu Sect, but they are still far from the top level. However, they have patience. If they want to seize a Nascent Soul level sect, they cannot be impatient.

According to his observation, the Qinglu Sect would not be able to produce a new Nascent Soul cultivator within a hundred years, so they still had enough time.

Besides, who said he didn't try to send people to infiltrate the inner sect of Qinglu Sect? It's just that this junior brother in front of him is not qualified to know such secrets. His task is only to infiltrate those menial disciples.

"Junior brother has learned a lesson!"

Hearing this, the figure on the right quickly stood up and saluted.

"By the way, are there any of these menial disciples who are worth training?" The figure on the left fiddled with the jade tokens. Although menial disciples were insignificant, if they encountered some good seedlings, they could be trained and potentially play an unexpected role in the future.
