Plant VS Cultivation Chapter 7: The Cleaning Spell

Gu Mo chose a minor spell that wasn't even categorized in the cultivation ranks, called the Cleaning Spell.

This was undoubtedly the most practical minor spell for low-level cultivators. Casting it once a day would ensure cleanliness and freshness throughout the day.

As Gu Mo carefully studied the incantation for the Cleaning Spell, he gradually began to discern its workings. The spell achieved its cleaning effect through the oscillation of spiritual energy.

This was strikingly similar to ultrasonic cleaning, which Gu Mo was familiar with. Understanding this principle allowed him to quickly grasp the essence of the spell. In the world of cultivation, this would be referred to as comprehension.

However, Gu Mo's comprehension stemd from knowledge of another world. But regardless of the source, the outco was the sa. Coupled with his fine control over spiritual energy, it wasn't long before Gu Mo successfully cast the Cleaning Spell. His speed in mastering it was on par with that of top-tier geniuses.

Unfortunately, the library was empty, and no one was there to marvel at Gu Mo's talent. Or perhaps, it was precisely because the library was empty that Gu Mo dared to experint directly. Otherwise, he would have opted to test the spell back in his room.

Gu Mo hadn't forgotten that soone wanted to harm him. However, since the culprit had yet to reveal themselves, Gu Mo could only stay low-key.

As a servant disciple without talent or background, it was hard to imagine anyone would specifically target him. Thus, Gu Mo believed he had likely fallen victim to collateral damage.

As long as he remained inconspicuous, the perpetrator might not even rember a small fry like him. With the Sunflower in his possession, as long as Gu Mo had enough ti, he could grow stronger step by step. By then, he wouldn't need to fear the hidden enemy anymore.

After mastering the Cleaning Spell, Gu Mo left the library and returned to his small room. For the next week, he dedicated all his ti to practicing the spell. A spell could be divided into four stages: Introduction, Proficiency, Mastery, and Perfection.

The level of skill significantly affected the spell's power and effectiveness. Take the Cleaning Spell for instance: at the Introduction stage, it rely perford basic cleaning. At Proficiency, it resembled a thorough wash. Once at Mastery, it not only cleaned but also maintained and preserved. As for Perfection, Gu Mo hadn't reached that level yet, so he couldn't comnt.

That's right—in just one week, Gu Mo had cultivated this minor, unranked spell to the Mastery level. Even though it was the simplest of spells, reaching Mastery in a week was quite astonishing. The primary reason for this rapid progress was Gu Mo's understanding of the spell's principles. He continually adjusted the frequency of the spiritual energy oscillations to achieve the optimal cleaning effect.

Now, with the Cleaning Spell at the Mastery level, not only did Gu Mo feel clean and refreshed after casting it, but the vibrating spiritual energy also acted like a full-body massage, making his skin noticeably smoother.

If he continued to cultivate the spell to Perfection, Gu Mo believed the spell would undergo a qualitative transformation. However, reaching Perfection wasn't easy. For most people, achieving Mastery in a spell was already the pinnacle.

Even for Gu Mo, who fully understood the spell's principles, reaching Perfection would likely take a long ti. But right now, ti was the one thing Gu Mo had in abundance.

Glancing at the ti, Gu Mo stepped out. Today was the day their group was gathering again, in the sa private room at the cafeteria as last ti. This ti, however, Gu Mo was the first to arrive.

After waiting quietly for a while, Yao Shifeng, Hu Hai, and Wu Jinfeng arrived one after another. Seeing their disheveled appearances, Gu Mo was montarily stunned.

Compared to the three of them, Gu Mo—who had cast the Cleaning Spell on himself before leaving—appeared refined and elegant, exuding an almost ethereal immortal aura.

"Gu Mo, you still have the mind to tidy yourself up?" Wu Jinfeng couldn't help but remark after glancing at him.

They had spent the entire past week focused on cultivation. Forget grooming; they'd even relied on fasting pills to skip als.

"It's just the effect of the Cleaning Spell," Gu Mo replied with a smile.

Wu Jinfeng was montarily speechless. He didn't understand—why waste ti practicing a seemingly useless spell instead of focusing on improving cultivation?

And Gu Mo had managed to learn the spell in such a short ti? That was fast. What Wu Jinfeng and the others didn't realize was that Gu Mo hadn't just learned the Cleaning Spell—he had already mastered it.

"Gu Mo, you've learned the Cleaning Spell? Can we exchange so tips later?" A pleasantly surprised voice chid in.

It was Chu Feifei, who had just arrived. As the only female in the group, she had clearly taken ti to groom herself before coming. Judging from her words, she too had been practicing the Cleaning Spell.

Unlike Yao Shifeng and the others, who didn't care about appearances, Chu Feifei wouldn't allow herself to look disheveled. Thus, a convenient spell like the Cleaning Spell was just as important to a female cultivator like her as cultivating her spiritual power.

However, despite her efforts, she hadn't managed to learn the spell. Hearing that Gu Mo had succeeded made her genuinely delighted.

"Of course!"

Gu Mo nodded. After all, their little group gathered precisely to share cultivation insights.

As soon as he spoke, Gu Mo felt two envious gazes directed at him. As the only female in the group, Chu Feifei was quite popular. But competition over her wasn't an issue. Everyone knew that on the path of cultivation, strength ca first. As long as one's cultivation was strong enough, everything else would follow.

"Ahem!"

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Yao Shifeng, who had remained silent until now, cleared his throat to draw their attention. He then shared so shocking news.

Two days ago, soone had successfully entered the Qi Refining stage.

"What!"

Upon hearing this, the faces of all four—including Gu Mo—were filled with disbelief. How much ti had even passed? Soone had already reached the Qi Refining stage? Even with the daily refinent of Sun Essence and a talent comparable to a low-grade spiritual root, Gu Mo estimated it would take him at least three months to reach Qi Refining.

Yet now, less than a month had passed, and soone had already succeeded. This was the cultivation speed of soone with a mid-grade spiritual root.

If the earlier spiritual root test had been accurate, then this person must have encountered so fortuitous opportunity.

"The news is confird. His na is Fan Shaoming, and during the spiritual root test, his jade stone glowed even brighter than mine," Yao Shifeng said, his expression grave.

Fan Shaoming's success had disrupted Yao Shifeng's plans. He had intended to claim the title of the first to reach Qi Refining, but that title had now been taken—and by a wide margin.

With his plans thrown off, Yao Shifeng felt a growing sense of urgency. If he couldn't be first, claiming second place would have to suffice. To achieve that, he could only move his plans ahead.

"Hoo..."

Taking a deep breath, Yao Shifeng glanced at the still-stunned group and spoke, "Everyone, I need your help!"
