In the following days, Chu Mo spent his time quite fruitfully.

Inside the Phantom God City, he spent his time quietly cultivating, continuously improving his strength. He often would leave Phantom God City and gradually progressed from being extremely careful to going deeper and exploring perilous areas.

During this process, he faced many dangers.

However, every time, the Heavenly Seal of the Sky God would issue warnings in advance, allowing Chu Mo to avoid the crises without experiencing true danger.

Every so often, Chu Mo would go to Lingdan Hall and pick up the medicinal herbs that had been prepared for him. After some time, he would then deliver the refined medicinal herbs back.

The manager of the Human Layer's Lingdan Hall would act obsequiously polite, especially when there were no others around, whenever he saw Chu Mo.

Chu Mo knew why, and he never inquired about Liu Yun's whereabouts.

The woman with whom he had once shared intimate moments seemed to have vanished from his life.

Emperor Feng Chun had not appeared before him either.

The days passed one after the other.

One day, Chu Mo sat by Phantom God Lake, looking down at the task area on the message board.

In reality, Chu Mo no longer needed to take up the tasks on the message board. Being a visiting alchemist for Lingdan Hall provided him considerable compensation every month for refining elixirs; it was enough for him to afford lavish spendings, and he would still have a surplus.

Chu Mo already had nearly 800 premium Heavenly Crystals!

Because his level of cultivation was low, one premium Heavenly Crystal could last him a long time. Among those of his level of cultivation, even those who used premium Heavenly Crystals in their cultivation might only be him in this world.

If others found out, they would probably regard him as a reckless and extravagant spender.

However, Chu Mo didn't care. Weren't resources meant to be used?

He looked at the tasks on the message board as he wanted to level up on the board through completing tasks. Only then could he be able to issue some high-level tasks.

Although he was far away from establishing his Foundation, Chu Mo wanted to establish the Foundation of Five Elements, the materials required for which would be a significant number.

Although he appeared to be wealthy with over 800 premium Heavenly Crystals, when compared to the resources needed to establish the Foundation with the Five Elements, his wealth was not even an insignificant fraction!

Such a matter cannot be spread out...

Not to mention the Foundation of Five Elements; even the Fairies' Foundation Establishment would cause a huge uproar.

If one doesn't have a powerful force supporting them and they truly complete the Fairies' Foundation Establishment, either they would be forced to sign a life-and-death contract and be recruited into a certain power, or they would simply be exterminated!

Because on the traceless Supreme Path, a cultivator with the Fairies' Foundation Establishment would definitely have an advantage over those with perfect Foundation Establishment!

The way to supremacy has always been bloody.

One less opponent means more chances for oneself.

Therefore, Chu Mo dared not brag about this, let alone allow others to discover his intentions.

It had to be done little by little.

Therefore, it would be best to start from this moment on.

Due to some manipulation used by Lingdan Hall, Lin Bai's name remained quite unfamiliar to the Phantom God Realm.

This presented an opportunity for Chu Mo.

"Five premium Heavenly Crystals needed for a Dragon Scale Herb…" Chu Mo looked at this information and slightly raised his eyebrows, believing that this task shouldn't be too challenging for him.

Dragon Scale Herb was indeed a plant, but it was covered with scales and the branches resembled dragons, which made it quite distinctive.

This was an invaluable medicinal ingredient for perfect Foundation Establishment, and one that was in perpetual shortage in the Phantom God World.

Every family, whether they were from the Spirit Realm, the Immortal Realm, or the Heavenly Realm, needed to provide the best resources for their younger generations.

Each completed mission would add some points to the message board. The board would automatically assess the difficulty level of the mission, and give corresponding points.

A mission for Dragon Scale Herb offered relatively more points, but had a relatively lower difficulty level.

Without any hesitation, Chu Mo immediately accepted the mission.

Afterwards, he stood up from the side of Phantom God Lake and headed towards the direction of Phantom God Mountain.

Dragon Scale Herb could only be found in the Phantom God Mountain Region.

Chu Mo found this mission to be relatively easy, but for others, it was definitely not a trivial task!

Because it grew in the Phantom God Mountain Region!

In the Phantom God Mountain Region...many powerful creatures occupied the land, and offending them without caution would cause never-ending retaliation.

Risking one's life for a Dragon Scale Herb was absolutely unworthy.

Even though death in the Phantom God World didn't mean actual death, not everyone was willing to experience the taste of death.

Moreover, not everyone possesses an incredibly powerful divine artifact like the Heavenly Seal of the Sky God, that could detect high-quality medicinal ingredients hidden away.

If this mission were really that easy, why would someone offer a reward of five premium Heavenly Crystals?

Over half a month later, Chu Mo's figure appeared in the Phantom God Mountain Region.

He had now entered several thousand miles deep into the Phantom God Mountain Region.

Chu Mo felt a bit unlucky because, along the way, he had already found hundreds of high-quality medicinal ingredients and casually completed nine missions from the message board...even before accepting the missions, Chu Mo had already found the necessary medicinal ingredients.

His level only allowed for accepting up to ten missions, otherwise, Chu Mo could have completed even more tasks.

However, ironically, he couldn't find Dragon Scale Herb!

"If I had known, I wouldn't have accepted any tasks initially. After finding the required items, then I would accept them…" Chu Mo couldn't help but grumble.

Since he had seen Dragon Scale Herb at Lingdan Hall before, Chu Mo had specially learned about it. This medicinal herb was not rare, and there should be plenty in the Phantom God Mountain Region. However, he had not encountered a single one after so many days.

After a round of rest and meditation under a towering ancient tree, Chu Mo was once again energetically on his way.

At this point, he was close to the peak of Enlightening Heart Realm, Chu Mo felt that he had become very powerful!

However, from the perspective of others, appearing in the Phantom God Realm at his level was already a marvel, let alone daring to venture into regions like the Phantom God Mountain... they would undoubtedly consider him reckless!

But Chu Mo didn't think so, just like what the Realm Spirit said: this is your own world!

"Since it's my territory, where can't I go?" was what Chu Mo thought.

But surely others wouldn't think so!

Just as Chu Mo finally located a Dragon Scale Herb and revealed a joyful expression on his face, preparing to collect this Dragon Scale Herb that was hard to come by, a voice suddenly rang by his ear, "Let go of that Dragon Scale Herb, it's mine!"
