Plants vs. Cultivation

Hou Chunyu explained to Gu Mo some key points of practicing Taiyi Qingmu Sutra, and finally left a jade slip, which contained some of Hou Chunyu's thoughts on Taiyi Qingmu Sutra.

Although Hou Chunyu had not practiced the Taiyi Qingmu Sutra, he was more than capable of guiding Gu Mo with his late Nascent Soul stage.

"Thank you for your guidance, Master!"

Gu Mo took the jade slip and bowed. It was indeed different to have someone to guide him. Many doubts could be answered directly.

In this way, Gu Mo only needed to practice step by step, and this was Gu Mo's strong point. As long as there was enough sun essence, Gu Mo could quickly improve his cultivation.

However, before that, Gu Mo had to plant the sunflowers.

"It seems that the test plan should be carried out as soon as possible." Gu Mo said secretly. Without first understanding the attitude of the 5th-level ancient tree, Gu Mo did not dare to expose the existence of the sunflowers.

After all, Shennong Valley was built on the 5th-level ancient tree. As long as Gu Mo used the sun essence, the 5th-level ancient tree would definitely know.

But before starting the plan, Gu Mo took the opportunity to ask Hou Chunyu about the origin of the 5th-level ancient tree.

Hou Chunyu was not surprised by Gu Mo's question. Almost every disciple of Shennong Valley would be curious about this huge ancient tree.

Immediately, Hou Chunyu told Gu Mo what he knew about the 5th-level ancient tree, which was not a secret in Shennong Valley.

"Grandmaster, are you saying that this 5th-level ancient tree has no spirit?" After listening to Hou Chunyu's introduction to the 5th-level ancient tree, Gu Mo's eyes were full of surprise.

The 3rd-level Xiaohua master has already been able to transform, how could this 5th-level ancient tree not have a spirit?

"This 5th-level ancient tree was cultivated by the founder of the sect as the operating foundation of Shennong Valley. If this 5th-level ancient tree has a spirit, then the secrets of everyone in Shennong Valley will be exposed to the eyes of the ancient tree. Therefore, the founder of the sect at that time did not let the ancient tree give birth to spiritual intelligence when cultivating the ancient tree." Hou Chunyu explained.

Every cultivator has his own secrets, no matter how big or small, no one wants his secrets to be known.

Besides, the disciples of Shennong Valley built caves on the ancient trees, absorbed the spiritual power of the ancient trees, and fled on them at will. If it were a spiritual plant demon king with spirits, even if it was tamed, it would be hard to guarantee that there would be no resentment over time.

Therefore, the safest situation is to prevent this 5th-level ancient tree from giving birth to spirits and use it as a tool for Shennong Valley.

"The founder of the sect is really generous."

After learning about the origin of this 5th-level ancient tree, Gu Mo was secretly shocked. Cultivating 5th-level spiritual plants, what a powerful spiritual plant master's attainments, but the ancient tree has no spirits, which seems to be good news for Gu Mo.

But for safety reasons, Gu Mo will still try the test plan, but with Hou Chunyu's words, Gu Mo is more confident and can be a little bolder when testing.

Returning to his leaf courtyard, Gu Mo took a deep breath, took out a portion of the sun essence from the black fog space, waited for a moment, and then refined it.

In one breath, a portion of the 3rd-level sun essence was refined by Gu Mo, and then Gu Mo's consciousness enveloped his leaf courtyard, quietly waiting for changes.

Time passed, everything remained the same, and the 5th-level ancient tree did not react at all, but in order to ensure that everything was foolproof, Gu Mo took out another portion of the sun essence. This time he did not choose to refine it, but held it in his hand, waiting for the sun essence to dissipate little by little.

As long as the sun essence is collected from the sunflower, it will dissipate little by little. Only by storing it in the black fog space can it be preserved for a long time.

One day later.

The sun essence in his hand completely dissipated, but the 5th-level ancient tree still did not react at all, and no high-level cultivator in Shennong Valley noticed the abnormality here.

The 5th-level ancient tree has no wisdom, which Gu Mo can basically confirm. After all, Gu Mo has a secret, and those Yuanying Zhenjun in Shennong Valley should also have it.

They obviously don't want their secrets to be known by others, so it is basically certain that the 5th-level ancient tree has no wisdom.

Of course, the owner of Shennong Valley should have the means to control this 5th-level ancient tree, but active exploration and passive perception are two different things.

Active exploration will be sensed by the Yuanying Zhenjun of Shennong Valley. Since it can be sensed, it can be prepared. If the 5th-level ancient tree has a spirit, it can passively sense everything that happens on the body without people noticing.

After confirming that the 5th-level ancient tree will not discover its own secrets, Gu Mo can farm with peace of mind next.

"Xiao Mo, nephew, uncle is here to play with you!" At this time, the voice of Uncle Xiaohua came.

Hearing this, Gu Mo got up and walked out of the yard and invited Uncle Xiaohua in. This Uncle Xiaohua is cute and Gu Mo likes him very much.

Moreover, giving special spiritual plant monsters like Uncle Xiaohua to perform plant perception and accelerate growth will also help improve Gu Mo's spiritual plant master skills.

"Eh? Junior Brother Xiao Mo, you smell so good here, are you secretly eating something delicious?" After entering the courtyard, Xiao Hua's nose twitched slightly, and her big eyes began to look around.

It was obvious that Xiao Hua was attracted by the scent of the sun's essence that had just dissipated.

"Junior Brother Xiao Mo, do you still have that delicious food? Let Uncle have a taste too, and Uncle will exchange petals with you." Xiao Hua didn't find the source of the fragrance, so she turned her eyes to Gu Mo.

"No, I'll leave another one for Master next time." Looking at the pitiful Uncle Xiao Hua, Gu Mo sighed softly, but he didn't take out the sun essence for Xiao Hua immediately, but prepared to wait. A period of time, given to her at the appropriate time.

At this appropriate time, Gu Mo naturally found a time to hide the existence of Sun Flower. Gu Mo never thought of concealing the existence of Sun Flower. There is no airtight wall in the world, but Gu Mo can build a fake wall to Mask the presence of real walls.

Just like when he was in Qinglu Sect, Gu Mo used spiritual sunflowers to cover up the existence of sunflowers. He believed that there would be spiritual plants similar to sunflowers in Shennong Valley, and then he could use similar spiritual plants to cover them up. The presence of sunflowers.

"Really?"

Hearing Gu Mo's promise, Xiaohua stretched out her little hand excitedly, "Let's hook up!"

After finishing the hook, Xiaohua happily threw herself on Gu Mo's bed, because there was still the residual scent of the sun essence here, and she was ready to enjoy it here.

Seeing this, Gu Mo shook his head helplessly, leaving Xiao Li to play with Uncle Xiao Hua, while he prepared to receive the benefits of his inner disciples.

The welfare of the inner disciples is nothing more than some cultivation resources. Gu Mo actually does not need these, but the wood-moving skills in them are what Gu Mo needs.

This Wood Movement Technique, which originated from Wood Escape, is as precious a secret technique as the Wind Escape Technique outside, but in Shennong Valley, it is a free secret technique.

The disciples of Shennong Valley have basically mastered some basic skills of wood movement. Only in this way can they travel quickly in Shennong Valley.

Next, Gu Mo will start planting sunflowers in his own five acres of spiritual fields. After mastering the art of wood movement, Gu Mo can quickly travel back and forth between the leaf courtyard and the spiritual fields.

Because the disciples of Shennong Valley all practiced the art of wood movement, they had a lot of related practice experiences, which provided Gu Mo with a lot of insights into the art of wood movement.

"Let's go!"

Gu Mo raised his hand to seal the secret, and his figure quickly escaped into the leaves at his feet. The next moment, Gu Mo appeared in the spiritual field more than a hundred miles away.

“It’s really convenient!”

Gu Mo looked around the spiritual fields, feeling very satisfied.

Next, Gu Mo started working, first setting up a nut formation around the spiritual field. Although there was already a formation outside the spiritual field, this formation was not arranged by Gu Mo, but provided by the sect, and Gu Mo only had control over it.

The advantage of this formation is that it is strong enough, because this formation relies on the sect-protecting formation. As long as the sect-protecting formation is not broken, this formation will not be broken.

The disadvantage is that the formation provided by the sect has the key in the hands of the senior sect. Although the senior leaders of the sect would not break into a disciple's spiritual field without any reason.

But he's not afraid of ten thousand, just in case. At least now Gu Mo doesn't want anyone to break into his spiritual field. After he finds a way to cover the sunflower, Gu Mo doesn't have to worry.

The five acres of spiritual field were all planted with sunflowers by Gu Mo. Thousands of sunflowers emitted a faint golden light under the sunlight, forming a golden ocean, which looked soothing.

Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!

The only pity is that most of these sunflowers are of level 1 and 2, and there are not many of level 3. However, Gu Mo will slowly increase the level of sunflowers in the future.

Not only does the level of the sunflower need to be improved, but the level of the spiritual field also needs to be improved. At this moment, the five acres of spiritual field are only low-grade level 3, and Gu Mo's goal is level 4.

Gu Mo is very much looking forward to what effect the solar essence condensed by the fourth-order sunflower will have.

If you want to get the level 4 spiritual field, you need a lot of sect contribution. The main way to earn sect contribution is to complete sect tasks, and there are many types of sect tasks.

But most of them are related to spiritual planters, and many of these tasks are issued by monks from other sects.

As the top spiritual planter sect in the Tianyuan world, monks will turn to Shennong Valley for help when they encounter problems related to spiritual plants. For example, if a monk explores a secret realm or ruins and obtains some unknown spiritual plant seeds, then I will ask Shennong Valley to help cultivate it.

Or if a certain sect's spiritual field has a problem that cannot be solved by itself, the disciples from Shennong Valley will also be invited to solve it.

In addition, Shennong Valley disciples who cultivate new spiritual plants can also receive rewards from the sect.

However, the competition for these spiritual planter tasks is relatively high. Most of the disciples in Shennong Valley are spiritual planters, and everyone wants to earn contributions from the sect. Therefore, as long as some good spiritual planter tasks appear, there will be many disciples. Come grab it.

Gu Mo's attainments as a spiritual planter are not weak, but they are obviously inferior to those of his disciples who have practiced in Shennong Valley since childhood. For example, Gu Mo has only mastered the most basic spiritual planter spells, while many disciples of Shennong Valley have They have all mastered secret techniques, even spiritual farming techniques at the secret level.

Of course, Gu Mo has practiced the five major spiritual farming spells to a perfect level, and he can quickly get started by practicing the subsequent advanced version of the secret skills. After he makes up for his shortcomings, Gu Mo can catch up with or even surpass most of the Shennong Valley. disciple.

As for now, Gu Mo plans to choose some non-spiritual planter tasks to earn contributions, such as alchemy.

As a sect that cultivates immortality, Shennong Valley naturally has a large demand for elixirs, so providing the elixirs needed by the sect can also earn contributions. Moreover, the number of alchemists in Shennong Valley is small, so the mission rewards are very good.

Some of the non-spiritual planter tasks in Shennong Valley actually have relatively high rewards. This is because the sect provides additional subsidies in order to maintain the existence of other professions in the sect.

In order to prevent a certain profession in the sect from disappearing completely and being strangled by other sects, the six major sects of the righteous and evil are almost all comprehensive top-level sects.

"Hello, I'm here to accept the alchemy task."

Gu Mo came to the sect's task hall and found a task to refine a 3rd-level elixir and prepared to register. The refining of 3rd-level ordinary elixir is no longer difficult for Gu Mo, who can refine the condensed gold elixir.

With the help of the torch stump and the ice flame stump, Gu Mo's efficiency and cost of refining elixir are better than other alchemists. Therefore, Gu Mo will earn more by accepting tasks.

If Gu Mo is at the limit, he will grit his teeth and save a wave of solar essence to upgrade the torch stump to the 4th level. He can even try to refine the 4th-level elixir.

"This senior brother, you are not yet a certified alchemist, so you cannot accept the alchemy task for the time being." A foundation-building cultivator in charge of registration in the task hall explained to Gu Mo.

Although Gu Mo had just joined Shennong Valley, his cultivation in the Jindan realm was definitely considered a master in Shennong Valley.

"How can this alchemist be certified?" Gu Mo asked.

After a moment, Gu Mo left the mission hall and fled towards a branch of the 5th-level ancient tree, which was the branch of Shennong Valley that was responsible for alchemy.

If Gu Mo wanted to accept the alchemy mission, he needed to go there for certification first. Only after obtaining the qualification certification of the alchemist could he accept the alchemy mission.

The same is true for missions of other professions.

Speaking of which, Gu Mo not only did not have the certification of the alchemist, but he also did not have the certification of the spiritual plant master profession, so he could not accept the spiritual plant master mission now.

Just for the certification of the spiritual plant master, Gu Mo could go directly to the master.

However, Gu Mo is not ready to accept the task of spiritual plant master at the moment. This certification can wait. First, accept the task of alchemist to accumulate a wave of contributions, and then exchange all the advanced spiritual farming spells to make up for the shortcomings of spiritual plant master. Otherwise, it would be embarrassing to go to certify spiritual plant master and then not know anything.

"This senior brother, is Elder Liu here?"

Arriving at the branch where the alchemists are located, Gu Mo saw a disciple in the Jindan realm and hurriedly stepped forward to ask. Gu Mo wants to certify the third-level alchemist. This level of alchemist certification requires the master of the alchemy lineage to preside over it.

"What do you want to see the master for?"

Qian Tao looked at Gu Mo curiously. How come he had no impression of such a young Jindan cultivator.

"Junior brother, I am here to certify the alchemist." Gu Mo said the purpose of his visit.

"Certified alchemist, you are an alchemist!" Qian Tao looked at Gu Mo in astonishment. As a disciple of the alchemy lineage in Shennong Valley, he knew basically all the alchemists in Shennong Valley, but the one in front of him was very unfamiliar to him.
