""So, have you agreed, senior?" Chu Mo asked.

"I agreed to what? Didn't I say that we would talk about it when you have a chance of becoming a saint?" The cold voice of the gentiana carried a hint of faint annoyance, clearly displeased.

"I am hopeful of becoming a saint now," Chu Mo stated straightforwardly.

"..." The gentiana clamped its mouth shut, not wishing to deal with him any longer.

This man was utterly shameless, simply despicable! From where did he derive such confidence to believe he had a chance to become a saint?

Not only did the gentiana think this, but even the supreme elixir, which was scared into near silence by Chu Mo, thought the same.

Chu Mo didn't explain further; he simply left the world of the Heavenly Mirror. In fact, Chu Mo was very aware that obtaining the essence liquid from the gentiana was not difficult. As long as he gathered those four types of medicinal herbs, regardless of their willingness, Chu Mo would extract the essence liquid from them to concoct the body-changing elixir for his master.

The gentiana knew this too, as it was powerless to resist.

However, Chu Mo wanted more than just that. As a cultivator, having top-tier elixirs by his side was like having an additional guarantee of life. In critical moments, the life-restoring ability of top-tier elixirs was something other elixirs could never achieve.

But that would require their willing cooperation.

Otherwise, even if he could extract their essence liquid, it would take a long time. Moreover, if they forcibly refused to cooperate, the essence contained in the extracted liquid would be very limited. It would require repeated refining to achieve the desired effect, but in critical moments, where would the time for refining come from?

Chu Mo hadn't expected to subdue the stubborn gentiana this time. After leaving, he surveyed his surroundings.

This part of the heavenly road was completely different from the previous section.

Here, the essence energy didn't seem as apparent as on the earlier part of the heavenly road, but in reality, Chu Mo found out by communicating with the mountains and lands here that almost all the essence energy was hidden underground! Then, it was suppressed by these towering ancient trees and other plants, forming a true balance.

Once these towering ancient trees aged and died, the essence energy in the earth would swiftly give rise to another batch of huge towering ancient trees to replace them.

In the place where Chu Mo had battled the World-Dominating Biao, if he went back there now, aside from slight traces of the battle, it almost didn't look like a major battle had taken place there at all.

"The essence energy in this place seems to be entirely used to balance this world's fundamental structure, with almost no leakage occurring."

Chu Mo continuously moved forward, delving deeper into this heavenly road, constantly perceiving everything here and making quite some significant discoveries.

There were truly many great elixirs here, and although he did not encounter any more supreme-level elixirs, Chu Mo saw quite a few Emperor-level ones. He did not hold back with this world... Like plucking feathers from a goose, he collected all the Emperor-level elixirs and planted them in the world of the Heavenly Mirror.

These elixirs, though not as spiritually powerful as supreme elixirs, had extremely high potency. In the Heavenly Realm, it was not easy to obtain these Emperor-level elixirs.

The supreme elixir seemed very disdainful of Chu Mo's actions. Every time Chu Mo transplanted an Emperor-level elixir, it would comment disdainfully from the sidelines. Essentially, its message was always: "Not as good as me!"

Chu Mo couldn't be bothered with it and tirelessly transplanted those Emperor-level elixirs into the world of the Heavenly Mirror.

At this level, the elixirs could already nourish the environment they were in. If they could be planted in top-tier precious soil, they could even transform the surrounding million miles into a treasure land!

Chu Mo desired to obtain precious soil, but even in such a place, truly rare precious soil was still exceedingly uncommon. Otherwise, why would Chu Mo's supreme flowerpot have such a fatal attraction to the elixirs?

Even Gentiana, in recent days, had somewhat softened its attitude toward Chu Mo. It seemed likely that, with a bit more effort from Chu Mo, there could be a limited cooperation between them. In return, it could root itself in the precious soil of that supreme flowerpot.

The current aloofness of Gentiana was only a facade of stubbornness. Deep down, it understood all too well that it was very unlikely to leave this world in its lifetime.

Unless it compromised.

And then swore an oath to follow Chu Mo. The oaths of high-level beings were no trivial matter; once sworn, they must be honored, as the consequences of breaking an oath were terribly bleak!

But getting it to fully compromise would certainly not be easy.

Once it chose to compromise and follow alongside Chu Mo, there would be a price to pay!

Such a price, even with precious soil to root in, would be more detrimental than beneficial for a Quasi-Saint herb of Gentiana's caliber.

Thus, temporarily cooperating with Chu Mo, providing him some convenience, and then rooting itself in the precious soil, seemed to be a beneficial arrangement to Gentiana.

As for the rest... it would consider that later!

Chu Mo didn't press the matter either. He continued picking Emperor-level herbs and advancing further on his journey. So far on this path, apart from the World-Dominating Biao, a Quasi-Saint herb, he had encountered no other danger.

This made Chu Mo feel somewhat incredulous. The path was too peaceful!

Giant avian creatures occasionally flew across the sky, and various mystical beasts frequently appeared in the forests. Judging by their essence energy, the weakest among them seemed to be at the Heavenly Immortal Realm, with the majority in the true immortal realm, and occasionally, Emperor-level beings would appear.

But these beings, upon seeing Chu Mo, would almost instantly retreat!

None had actively pounced to harm him.

It was too peaceful! It felt almost like a top-tier herb garden, allowing him free reign.

"Could it be... this is a true paradise? Do all the beings here lack any sense of vigilance?" Chu Mo murmured softly, but he immediately dismissed his own guess.

That supreme herb was no trifling matter, and the World-Dominating Biao was exceptionally fierce; neither showed any goodwill towards foreign beings. Thus, this heavenly road could not possibly be so tranquil.

Ten more days passed, and Chu Mo no longer knew how far he had traveled on this path.

His days were spent gathering herbs, contemplating the Tao, and tirelessly cultivating. A month into this journey, Chu Mo finally advanced his cultivation to the pinnacle of the true immortal realm!

At the same time, Chu Mo also frequently dispatched a primordial spirit, controlling a perfect avatar to go out and also experience the processes of gathering herbs, contemplating the Tao, and cultivating, becoming familiar with the prowess of the Emperor Realm.

At the true immortal realm, with the union of the primordial spirit, it was no longer the former state of a secondary spirit. If one's magical power was profound, it was possible to multiply the primordial spirit thousands of times, and likewise have thousands of avatars!

Of course, that was the ideal state; in reality, for a cultivator at the peak of the true immortal realm to simultaneously control hundreds of avatars was already quite an extraordinary feat.

One day, as Chu Mo continued forward, he suddenly saw a Taoist temple halfway up the mountain ahead.

From within that temple, wisps of cooking smoke were surprisingly rising!
