"Gu Yao, you are not welcome here, get out now!"
Just when the atmosphere was tense, a stunning figure suddenly walked out from the corner of the third floor, instantly attracting all the attention here.
Chen Mo also followed the voice and saw that the person speaking was a woman with a simple and elegant face. Judging from the purple robe she was wearing, she was another core disciple at the peak of Qi refining!
This woman has a slender eyebrow and a graceful figure. Her jade-skinned arms are wrapped with a piece of cyan gauze, giving off a slightly psychedelic color.
Knowing Gu Yao's strength, she still dared to speak like this. Chen Mo concluded that this woman must have full confidence, so when the monks didn't notice him, he decisively moved to the right and stuck to a table by the window.
If the situation becomes uncontrollable and a fight breaks out, Chen Mo will immediately jump out of the window and escape, never staying here. Or if Gu Yao defeats Lu Xiuyuan and the mysterious woman one against two, he can naturally stay.
Even if Gu Yao was driven away, he would not be driven out with him in despair.
When Gu Yao saw this woman, his originally calm expression suddenly became serious: "Wan Qing, when did you get so close to Lu Xiuyuan?"
The woman called Wan Qing snorted coldly and said, "I won't bother you anymore!"
"Haha, do you think I don't know? In the past few days, you have roped in at least four of your fellow disciples, and are planning to use the remaining time to explore the cave of the alchemy monk who has passed away in the Misty Valley to try your luck. Found a few Foundation Establishment Pills, right?"
As soon as the word "Foundation Establishment Pill" was mentioned, all the monks on the third floor exploded instantly. They couldn't help but started talking in low voices. They were all disciples who could build the Foundation with just one step, so they were stuck on the "Foundation Establishment Pill". , even if everyone is worth a lot of money, exchanging sect contribution points is still a drop in the bucket.
Now that there is news about the Foundation Establishment Pill, can they not be excited?
Chen Mo also held his breath and listened carefully to the conversation of several people. As long as the plan to improve Bigu Pill can be completed, it will be a matter of time before he reaches the ninth level of Qi Refining.
Due to Chen Mo's Yin Vein Spiritual Power, the ninth level of Qi Refining is equivalent to the peak of Qi Refining for everyone. By then, he will also have to consider foundation building.
"Yes, so what?" In front of all the monks, Wan Qing admitted generously: "Are you done? Leave here after you're done!"
"Okay, you don't have to welcome Gu. It's just the two junior sisters who came with me..."
Lu Xiuyuan said before he could finish his words: "Go slowly and don't see me off!"
The smile on Gu Yao's face gradually turned calm. He left Lan Ruoxian and the female cultivator as quickly as he came. He left Lan Ruoxian and the female cultivator in a graceful manner.
Chen Mo smiled bitterly. Seeing this, he still didn't understand that he was being used.
Lu Xiuyuan didn't invite Gu Yao, so he took the opportunity to come over and disrupt the situation, using Chen Mo as a tool to anger Lu Xiuyuan. However, fate was not as good as fate. There was a master here, so he chose to retreat after weighing the situation.
On the other side, the two girls Lan Ruoxian were kindly invited by Lu Xiuyuan, and they just met by chance outside the inn. Therefore, Wanqing spoke up to ease the relationship, and they quickly integrated into them.
Chen Mo was out of place here and was ignored by everyone. He was like a down-and-out dog on the street, so no one came to take care of him. The core disciples continued to chat freely.
Chen Mo was about to go downstairs when the sharp-eyed Lu Xiuyuan suddenly saw him and hurriedly came over and said, "Hey, Junior Brother Chen! Now that you've come up, don't go down again, or will other monks laugh at you more?"
His voice was not loud, but it was enough for the other monks to hear. A large number of eyes looked here again. As soon as Gu Yao left, he became the target of public criticism again.
Chen Mo sighed inwardly, what a joke, this guy was afraid that he would lose face, so he didn't dare to let him go.
A square-faced monk with his arms crossed took the opportunity to talk to him: "Brother Lu, this Taoist fellow is very handsome and is wearing a deacon's robe. What is his background?"
"Yes, Senior Brother Lu, please introduce him to us!" Another young woman with pink and phoenix eyes said with a smile.
"Haha, doesn't Lu's introduction belong to Yue Zu's agent? It should be done by Junior Brother Chen himself!"
Lu Xiuyuan laughed, pulled Chen Mo to stand in the middle of the third floor, and asked him to introduce himself, completely regardless of Chen Mo's mood.
Chen Mo took a deep breath, saluted respectfully to the monks around him, bowed his head and said, "I have met all the brothers and sisters. I am Chen Mo, who is managing a herb garden under Elder Fan. Please take good care of me!"
"Chen Mo, Silence? What kind of name is this! It's so strange..."
"A monk on the twelfth level of Qi Refining can also manage the medicine garden..."
There were monks wearing the same clothes as Chen Mo. They kept shaking their heads and sighing: "Is the current test less difficult? I should ask Elder Guo another day..."
Those present are all core disciples with eyes above their heads. They usually come into contact with monks of the same class. This can be seen in the Ice and Fire Cave. For someone like Chen Mo who is one step behind in cultivation, it is not a special situation, so how can he Talking to them on the first floor?
Therefore, some people have no taboos when speaking out and don't care what Chen Mo thinks.
But that's not all the case. A considerable number of people remained silent. It seemed that they had their own considerations and did not follow suit.
No matter who it was, Chen Mo always greeted them with a smile, and even if he said some unpleasant words, he acted as if he didn't know anything about it. In this way, no one would lower themselves to deliberately target him.
"It's just a little bit of wind and frost..."
During the twelve years of practicing in the Guta Sect, the hardships of training at the bottom and the hard work all the way made Chen Mo's psychological quality far beyond that of monks of the same age. Therefore, he was humiliated in public, and he did not become very angry.
It's not like he can refine the sixth level of qi forever. When the day comes when he builds the foundation, he can take back the grievances he suffered with just one sentence.
Lu Xiuyuan used the time of serving wine and food to lead Chen Mo into the circle of Yaoyuan deacons. He also told him to have a good time, then returned to his seat and chatted with the core disciples.
The table was much larger than the one on the second floor. There were six men and two women, all of whom were at the peak of Qi refining. Everyone was drinking and drinking, and it was very lively. When they got drunk, they even talked about various things about the medicine garden.
Chen Mo had been silent since he came to the table. Seeing that they finally had something useful to say, he cheered up and started listening.
"Brother Lei, my little sister's medicine garden is short of manpower recently. I wonder if you would like to send some people over..."
The person who spoke was an eccentric girl. She was extremely short, reaching less than Chen Mo's shoulders. She looked like a finely carved porcelain doll.
The big man with a beard, who was called Brother Lei, laughed and said: "Ling'er, Brother Lei can't help with this matter! You might as well ask your Junior Brother Jin!"
Chen Mo's eyes passed over and fell on a young man with a fair face. He immediately shook his head, took a drink and said: "Recently, Miaodan Peak has been in great demand for spiritual herbs. I am also stretched here and can't help you!"
"Humph! As soon as this matter comes up, you start to act stupid and I won't be nice to you!" After saying this, the girl named Ling'er angrily put down the bowl and chopsticks and went on a hunger strike in protest. She was as serious as a child.
"Ha ha....."
This scene made several male monks at the table lean back and forth. The handsome young man sitting on his left had enough laughter and said seriously: "Sister Ling'er, last time Brother Cao was soft-hearted, he lent you a full twenty A monk who knows how to plant, but you directly transformed them into your own hands. With such a lesson learned from the past, who would dare to lend them to you?"
"Stop talking! Stop talking!"
The young man with long eyebrows at the end of the table waved his hands repeatedly, as if he was forgetting this disgraceful past. Everyone looked at his pitiful appearance and chuckled again.
Another female cultivator who had not spoken for a long time said: "Sister Ling'er, I have a list here. If you can call them all, you definitely don't have to worry about manpower!"
As she spoke, the older female cultivator handed the jade plate to the young girl Ling'er. The latter only took a cursory glance and put it on the table angrily: "Sister, you are lying. These are the most difficult ones." It’s a bone to chew! I don’t have that ability at all!”
"So manpower is scarce!" The female cultivator took out the jade plate deliberately: "Everyone is in urgent need of manpower, so please don't make this request again."
"OK OK...."
The big man surnamed Lei felt like Ming Jing, the relationship between the two women was not that good, but she couldn't stand Ling'er's deliberate pretense, so she interrupted.
Several male monks went out of their way to control the atmosphere, and the topic quickly changed to their experiences in growing elixirs, mixed with some tips on managing monks.
Although Chen Mo understood most of it, he benefited a lot from drawing conclusions from others and using them to deduce his own experience and consolidate his memory.
After three drinks and five dishes, everyone will get down to business after a brief exchange. A small exchange meeting initiated by Lu Xiuyuan is about to begin. Whether it is a magic elixir, a magic weapon, or something weird, as long as it is taken out, it will be done. Someone pondered.
For core disciples like them, the sect's ordinary market can no longer meet their needs, and most transactions usually come from mutual exchanges.
Chen Mo is now focused on his cultivation, and he doesn't care too much about his ranking in the sect competition in a few months, as long as he doesn't fall out of the status of an inner disciple.
Therefore, he didn't have much interest in the trade fair, not to mention that it was still up to two people to take him or not. Chen Mo would not ask for boredom, and said goodbye to the deacon of the Medicine Garden at the table: "Brothers and sisters, please talk slowly. Junior brother, I will leave first." One step."
"Well... practice hard and go ahead."
Chen Mo remained silent. The big man named Lei almost forgot that this person existed. After much deliberation, he couldn't remember his name. He even ignored his name and said goodbye to him casually.
The other monks also nodded slightly, roughly having the same meaning as the big man named Lei.
"Junior brother, I have a merciless request. This jade plate..."
Chen Mo was hesitant to speak, which made everyone laugh. The older female cultivator from before chuckled and said: "Take it, as a deacon of the medicine garden, you know a few hard things, if you can bite them off, It’s your luck.”
Although he said this, few people were optimistic about Chen Mo, but his urgent need for manpower made everyone aware of it.
"Thank you, senior sister!"
Chen Mo thanked him, collected the jade plate, stood up and left. On the other side, Lu Xiuyuan was busy planning the exchange meeting, but Chen Mo didn't bother him. He pressed his hot face against his cold butt and rushed back to his cave in the rain.
...
Time flies, and another month has passed in the blink of an eye.
Good news came one after another. First, Shen Mingyue made great progress in improving the formula of Bigu Pill. She made a breakthrough in an accidental attempt. Now it has been able to steadily increase the efficacy of the medicine by about 20%, which really surprised Chen Mo. Incessantly.
The second was his back-up before attending the small gathering. As expected, those casual cultivators had memorized most of the cultivating cultivators with some strength. Chen Mo personally went to recruit them and raised their contribution points. They easily dug up nearby cultivators. With 70% of the number of people, his herb garden in the Far North Peak has taken shape.
The spiritual materials needed to refine Bigu Pills are cheap and cannot be sold at high prices. He also needs to plant a large amount of them. In the long run, he will inevitably be in a loss-making situation. Therefore, he can only recoup the cost by cultivating rare spiritual plants. As long as there is no negative growth, That's it.
He had said hello to Elder Fan about this, and the latter had also come here several times during this period. He saw that Chen Mo was doing things in an orderly manner, and he was not just talking about it. He didn't blame him too much, he just secretly promoted the Bigu Pill thing.
"It is quite difficult to grow rare medicinal materials. It is difficult to leave them to others. I can only take care of them myself. But in this way, I am tied to the Herb Garden. Not to mention going to the Ice and Fire Cave to practice, I even help Elder Shen refine the elixir. It’s all very difficult.”
Chen Mo's eyes flickered and he murmured to himself: "It seems I can only chew the bones..."
The bones he was talking about were naturally the jade plate he picked up in the inn a month ago. There were more than ten people's names in it. Chen Mo thought of giving it a try and found a few people. The result was naturally the same as the previous monks. He didn't eat them. A rejection is a flat rejection. No matter how you say it, you don't agree with it, and the reasons are all kinds of weird, ranging from laziness to boredom.
"I don't have much time left. I have to clear up the Herb Garden to free up..."
After thinking about this, Chen Mo handed the jade plate to Cheng An and ordered him to find out the origins of several important names. If Chen Mo had a trying attitude before, now he is completely serious about it.
Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win every battle. This saying also applies to recruiting people.
...
"Boss Feng, Chen Mo is finally leaving the sect!"
Everyone was busy preparing for the sect competition, and Feng Yulin and the others were no exception, but this did not affect their efforts to monitor Chen Mo. The hard work of the past six months finally paid off on this day, and several people were excited. One can imagine.
"Finally can't hold it any longer..."
Feng Yulin's sinister look disappeared in an instant: "Are you sure you read it correctly? It would be bad if you don't make a mistake!"
The tall and strong man said eagerly: "Boss, don't you believe me! I even recognized that boy when he turned into ashes! He first went to the sect to report, and he is probably about to leave now!"
Feng Yulin smiled sinisterly and said: "That's good, tell Junior Brother Zhang and a few others to follow me. This time, be smarter and leave no traces. I will crush this ungrateful boy to ashes with my own hands!!"
"Yes!" The strong man responded and hurried to notify his other partners. A murderous robbery was quietly planned against Chen Mo.
