Plants vs. Cultivation.

Chapter 111: Level 2 Spiritual Field

Foundation Building Pill, this is a name that is enough to make any Qi Refining cultivator's heart beat faster upon hearing it. It is the hope of many cultivators who are stuck in the Great Perfection of Qi Refining to break through to the Foundation Building Stage.

It is also an important strategic-level elixir for many large sects. After all, the foundation-building cultivators are the backbone of a sect.

Since the Foundation Establishment Pill is in such short supply, the spiritual materials used to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill are naturally also attracting a lot of attention.

The same is true for the resource point owned by Qinglu Sect, but Qinglu Sect is a major Nascent Soul Sect, and no one dared to take the idea of ​​​​taking advantage of it before. However, with the death of the Nascent Soul ancestor of Qinglu Sect, gradually some people began to have ideas.

This is also the reason why this resource point has been invaded.

Recalling the information about the resource point here, Gu Mo came to the low mountain peak. Soon, a white-haired old man and more than a dozen elderly monks hurried over.

"I have seen Gu Zhenchuan!"

Wei Yuancai bowed and saluted. He had received the news from the sect a long time ago that a true disciple would arrive at this resource point. He had been waiting for the arrival of the true disciple during this period of time.

"Greetings, Deacon Wei!" Gu Mo quickly returned the greeting.

The white-haired old man in front of him is a foundation-building cultivator. Of course, those who can be sent out to guard the resource points are basically cultivators in the sect who are about to reach the end of their life and have no hope of making further progress.

However, although these people's potential has been exhausted, they are old and experienced, have strong experience in fighting, and have no hope of making further progress, so they will not often go into seclusion and can better guard resource points.

On the contrary, it is very rare for a true disciple like Gu Mo to garrison a resource point.

After a brief chat and verifying Gu Mo's identity, Wei Yuan took Gu Mo into the resource point formation.

"Gu Zhenchuan, these are the three most important spiritual plants at this resource point, the Jade Dew Fruit Tree." Wei Yuancai was the first to introduce to Gu Mo the most important spiritual materials at this resource point.

There were three small trees that were each one person tall. Although the trees were short, the spiritual energy fluctuations they emitted were those of real second-grade, top-quality spiritual plants.

The Jade Dew Fruit Tree is a tier 2 spiritual plant, but its specific grade is closely related to its years of growth and cultivation methods. The higher the grade of the Jade Dew Fruit Tree, the better the fruit it produces, and the quality of the Foundation Establishment Pills refined from it will also be improved.

The three jade dew fruit trees here are of the second-grade top-quality grade, which shows that Qinglu Sect has spent a lot of effort on this.

No wonder this place is coveted by people. As long as the other auxiliary materials are not too bad, there is hope of refining a top-grade Foundation Establishment Pill as the main ingredient of the second-grade top-grade Foundation Establishment Pill.

The higher the grade of the Foundation Establishment Pill, the higher the success rate in helping Qi Refining Practitioners break through.

"Not bad!"

Gu Mo nodded. As the focus of the resource point, these three spiritual plants were naturally well taken care of. It was said that a long time ago, Elder Qi, a third-level spiritual plant master, came here in person and customized a set of exclusive cultivation methods for these three spiritual plants.

Therefore, Gu Mo does not need to worry about the daily management of these three spiritual plants.

What Gu Mo really cared about was the spiritual field next to the spiritual plants. The reason why this low mountain could give birth to these three jade dew fruit trees, in addition to the special geographical environment, the most important thing was that there was a second-grade medium-quality spiritual vein here.

Furthermore, the spreading roots of the Jade Dew Fruit Tree fixed this Level 2 spiritual vein, turning the land here into a natural spiritual field.

This is also the instinct of many high-quality spiritual plants. They will actively transform the area in which they are located to create an environment that is more suitable for their own growth.

The natural spiritual field transformed from high-quality spiritual plants is definitely the best type of spiritual field. As long as you don't plant spiritual plants that conflict with the high-quality spiritual plants, you can get a lot of bonuses from planting other types of plants. If you plant spiritual plants that match the high-quality spiritual plants, the bonus will be even greater.

After all, only spiritual plants know what environment is best for them.

"Deacon Wei, this spiritual field is useful to me." Gu Mo said, pointing to the one-acre-sized second-grade medium-quality spiritual field.

The natural spiritual field formed by the three jade dew fruit trees is very large, covering an area of ​​ten acres. However, all of these natural spiritual fields are occupied by the three jade dew fruit trees, leaving only about one acre for his use.

There are quite a few spiritual plants planted on the one acre of spiritual field that has been set aside, but they are all level 1. It is indeed a bit of a waste to plant level 2 spiritual plants on a level 1 medium-quality spiritual field.

However, Wei Yuancai and others who were stationed there were neither spiritual farmers nor spiritual plant masters. They simply did not have the ability to plant level 2 spiritual plants. They could only use the powerful spiritual power of the level 2 spiritual fields to plant some level 1 spiritual plants.

Even the first-level spiritual plants were grown in a terrible state by them. All the energy of Wei Yuancai and his companions was focused on the three jade dew fruit trees, and they basically left the spiritual plants in the spiritual field alone.

"Okay, I'll have someone sort out the spiritual fields right away."

Wei Yuan nodded. As a true disciple, Gu Mo was now the boss here. Whatever he said was the law. The only task of the resource point was to hand over the Jade Dew Fruit on time.

However, this task has not been fully completed for many years. Every time the Jade Dew Fruit is ripe, unknown monks will appear and intercept the deacons sent by the sect to collect the Jade Dew Fruit.

Some even directly attacked the resource point, trying to rush in and snatch it. After all, the deacons sent by the sect to collect the Jade Dew Fruit were obviously not too weak, and it was difficult to snatch it from them. But if they could rush into the resource point, they would only have to face some old, weak and sick people.

As long as they are given the jade dew fruit, they will not kill anyone and will not touch the jade dew fruit trees. The deacons who come to collect the jade dew fruit can leave safely as long as they take out some of the jade dew fruit.

Faced with this situation, Qinglu Sect chose to be tolerant, and each time took out some Jade Dew Fruit to appease the situation. Now that Qinglu Sect's strength has been damaged, it can only spend money to resolve the disaster, but those people's appetites are growing, which has made Qinglu Sect a little unbearable.

Sending Gu Mo, the true disciple, here this time also shows the attitude of Qinglu Sect, which is to let these people stop. Qinglu Sect is weakened, but not dead. If Qinglu Sect is really angered, they cannot kill the sects behind those people, but they can kill those who come to make trouble.

After successfully obtaining the ownership of the 2nd-level spiritual field, Gu Mo began to transform it. For Gu Mo, who mastered all 5 kinds of spiritual farming spells, transforming the spiritual field was very simple.

The sparse spiritual plants in the original spiritual field were dug out and transplanted to the 1st-level spiritual field farther away. In addition to the 2nd-level spiritual fields, this resource point also has several 1st-level spiritual fields, all of which were formed by the spiritual power radiation from the core ten acres of 2nd-level spiritual fields.

However, these pieces of first-level spiritual fields are in a state of disrepair. Wei Yuancai and his companions had already messed up the second-level spiritual fields with the first-level spiritual plants they were growing, and they ended up in this state. If they were asked to use the first-level spiritual fields to plant anything, they would probably get nothing.

But Gu Mo could make use of it. He occupied the 2nd level spiritual field of Wei Yuancai and others, which made them lose some spiritual plant income. Gu Mo used this 1st level spiritual field to plant spiritual plants and make up for the income. After removing the spiritual plants from the 2nd level spiritual field, Gu Mo raised his hand and threw out a small flame wave. The blazing flames burned all the weeds in the spiritual field and turned them into fertilizer for the spiritual field.

Then a huge earth dragon appeared and plowed the spiritual field again, and soon a standard spiritual field appeared.

"Crash!"

Afterwards, a drizzle of spiritual rain fell, nourishing the spiritual field.

“Gu Zhenchuan, are you a spiritual farmer?”

Wei Yuancai looked at Gu Mo, who was performing the spiritual farming magic smoothly, with his eyes full of disbelief. He really couldn't connect the true teachings with spiritual farming. It was like the heir of a large enterprise, but his real identity was a farmer.

"Spiritual Plant Master!"

Gu Mo explained, so that he could explain the various strange plants he took out next. Although Gu Mo would soon cover this spiritual field with a formation, the probability of the other party seeing it was small, but just in case.

Moreover, Gu Mo did not forget his mission, which was to stay here. When he fought with the robbers, the plants would inevitably be exposed. So he had to take precautions in advance.

"I see!"

When Wei Yuan heard that Gu Mo was a spiritual plant master, he suddenly realized that compared to a spiritual farmer, the identity of a spiritual plant master was obviously more in line with Gu Mo's true identity.

After sending Wei Yuancai and others away, Gu Mo took out the formation plate, and three formations appeared: illusion formation, breath concealing formation, and nut formation, covering the spiritual field of about one acre.

"Hu~~"

The formation was activated, and soon the spiritual field was shrouded in fog. Gu Mo looked at the spiritual field in front of him and couldn't help but let out a long sigh. Finally, he had his own tier 2 spiritual field.

Without hesitation, Gu Mo took out the magic weapon hut and placed it on the side of the spiritual field. Then he planted all the sunflowers, pea shooters, and potato mines in the black fog space.

Later on, Gu Mo planned to upgrade all the sunflowers to level 2. After all, Gu Mo was already in the foundation-building stage, and only by refining the complete level 2 sun essence could he achieve significant improvement.

With a level 2 spiritual field, level 2 sunflowers can directly condense complete level 2 solar essence. The time required to upgrade level 2 sunflowers with complete level 1 solar essence is greatly compressed.

Including the space inside the door, Gu Mo already has two cultivation pots, which can upgrade two sunflowers at a time. It won’t take long for all 25 level 1 sunflowers to be upgraded to level 2.

But a total of 30 sunflowers obviously cannot satisfy Gu Mo's appetite, and it is imperative to continue to increase the number of sunflowers. Gu Mo's plan is to directly increase the number of sunflowers to 100 plants.

As Gu Mo's strength increases, the amount of solar essence required for his cultivation, purchase and upgrade of plants is also increasing. Therefore, Gu Mo needs to plant more sunflowers to provide himself with more solar essence.

As for why there are 100 sunflowers and not more, it is not that Gu Mo has any concerns. As long as Gu Mo does not reveal the real secret of the sunflowers, there will be no problem even if the sunflowers are seen by others. Now he is the true disciple of the sect and a genius spiritual plant master. He has a third-level spiritual plant master elder behind him. It is normal for him to tinker with some strange spiritual plants.

Now, what limits the number of sunflowers that Gu Mo can grow has become the grade and area of ​​the spiritual field. In this one-acre Level 2 spiritual field, Gu Mo not only has to grow sunflowers, but also other plants such as pea shooters. 100 sunflowers are already the limit, and any more can only reduce the number of other plants.

Reducing the number of other plants would lower the combat effectiveness of the plant front. Fortunately, the grade of this spiritual field is middle-grade 2nd level. If it was lower-grade 2nd level, the number of plants that Gu Mo could plant would be even smaller.

After planning the planting plan for the spiritual field, Gu Mo only needs to plant the purchased and upgraded plants step by step every day.

Therefore, in the next period of time, Gu Mo prepared to start his own cultivation, such as the practice of Qingmu Sutra, and the comprehension of the half-style magical power and so on.

"Just play here and don't run around, okay?" Before returning to the house, Gu Mo released the little carp. Now the little carp can move freely even without water. Compared to water, it now likes places with rich spiritual energy the most, because spiritual energy is water to the little carp.

"Bah!"

Feeling the rich spiritual energy all around, the little carp smacked its lips and swam away excitedly. Soon a group of dark clouds gathered in the sky. It was obvious that the little carp was preparing to use the cloud and rain technique to water the plants in the spiritual field.

Under the nourishment of the spiritual rain, the sunflowers and pea shooters swayed gently and looked very happy.

After confirming that there was no problem, Gu Mo returned to the hut, took out the Qingmu Sutra, and began to practice. The practice of changing the method is not as difficult as imagined. As long as the old method does not conflict with the new method, it is relatively easy to change.

This means that you have to practice the new skills from scratch, which is time-consuming, and there will be bottlenecks during the practice. However, with the original cultivation level and realm, it is relatively easy to break through this bottleneck.

Of course, the above is only limited to the low realms. If a Jindan cultivator wants to change his cultivation, the difficulty will be enormous, because the Jindan of the Jindan cultivator is condensed by the old technique. To change his cultivation, he must disperse the Jindan and condense a new Jindan with the new technique.

There is a probability of failure during this period, and the probability is not low. If the new method fails to condense the golden elixir, it will be very troublesome.

A good Jindan cultivator failed in his attempt to change his cultivation method and fell directly to the Jindan realm.

If a cultivator of a higher level, the Nascent Soul stage, changes to a higher level, he will need to go through the two stages of Golden Core and Nascent Soul again, and the probability of failure will be higher then.

But for Gu Mo, there is basically no loss except wasting some time, and after switching to Qingmu Sutra, Gu Mo's strength will be greatly improved. Gongfa is definitely an important part of a cultivator's combat power.

"Deacon Wei, that true disciple senior brother hasn't shown up in many days." Several Qi Refining disciples stationed at the resource point looked at the area covered by the formation and discussed in a low voice.

"What's so strange about this? If your cultivation level can be improved, would you choose to practice in seclusion and strive for a higher realm?" Wei Yuancai said lightly.

Hearing this, the disciples stationed here lowered their heads. They were sent here by the sect because their cultivation could not improve any further.

"Okay, get to work. The Jade Dew fruit ripens every five years. Now is the fourth year, which is the critical fruit-bearing period. How much we can harvest this time depends on this year." Wei Yuancai clapped his hands and urged.
