Plants vs. Cultivation.

Chapter 129: Fairy City Supplier

"That's natural!"

Fang Jiaoyan nodded. Even if Gu Mo didn't say anything, she would explain the situation clearly. After all, this matter concerned the survival of her family, and she dared not be careless.

As Fang Jiaoyan spoke, Gu Mo finally understood the origins of the other party's three conditions.

Fang Jiaoyan's family migrated to Yuntian Fairy City a hundred years ago. After that, they spent all their belongings to buy a piece of tier-2 top-grade spiritual field in the fairy city. They settled down with this tier-2 top-grade spiritual field as the core.

With the help of the output of the second-grade top-grade spiritual field, his family also cultivated a cultivator who had reached the great perfection of foundation building, who is Fang Jiaoyan's Taoist partner.

Fang Jiaoyan's Taoist partner was indeed very talented. Not only had he reached the great perfection of foundation building, but he also became a spiritual plant master and successfully planted a tier 2 spiritual plant, sword bamboo.

Sword bamboo is a spiritual plant that naturally contains sword energy and is an excellent material for making sword talismans.

With the help of Jianzhu, Fang Jiaoyan's family was successfully selected as a supplier of Yuntian Xiancheng. The daily trading volume of Yuntian Xiancheng is extremely amazing, and the premise for maintaining this amazing trading volume is to have sufficient supply, part of which comes from the monks who gather here.

But more of them come from the shops belonging to Yuntian Fairy City. In order to keep the shops supplied with goods continuously, Yuntian Fairy City will look for suppliers within its sphere of influence.

Let those suppliers provide various spiritual materials, and Yuntian Fairy City will purchase them at a relatively reasonable price.

However, it is not easy to become a supplier of Yuntian Fairy City. Only some valuable spiritual materials will be selected. If it is ordinary spiritual materials, Yuntian Fairy City will not accept them.

The sword bamboo cultivated by Fang Jiaoyan's family is a relatively rare spiritual material, which is why they have successfully become a supplier of Yuntian Fairy City. Becoming a supplier of Yuntian Fairy City is equivalent to having a talisman within the influence of the Fairy City.

No one would touch the suppliers of Yuntian Fairy City. Although Yuntian Fairy City did not directly say that it would protect those suppliers, attacking the suppliers and causing them to be unable to deliver on time would affect Yuntian Fairy City's business, and business was the core interest of Yuntian Fairy City.

Anyone who disrupts the business of Yuntian Fairy City will suffer serious consequences.

However, the failure to deliver on time was not only due to external attacks, but also some internal reasons. For example, Fang Jiaoyan's Taoist partner chose to break through to the Golden Core realm not long ago, but ultimately failed and died.

His death is a huge blow to the entire family. At the same time, the sword bamboo will not be delivered on time because the entire family only has this one spiritual plant master.

If you fail to deliver on time, you will lose the qualification to become a supplier of Yuntian Fairy City.

At a time when the strongest cultivator of the family who was striving for the Golden Core was about to die, losing the qualification of supplier would be extremely dangerous. There would definitely be many people who were eyeing a 2nd-level top-grade spiritual field.

Therefore, Fang Jiaoyan put forward three conditions, looking for a spiritual plant master who could cultivate sword bamboo. As long as they could deliver the goods on time, they could keep their supplier qualifications. With this qualification, no one would dare to take action against them.

"I see!"

Gu Mo nodded. This situation was much better than he had imagined. He thought that the other party had offended some powerful enemy and that was why he was so anxious. It turned out that he just wanted to keep his qualification as a supplier for Yuntian Fairy City.

Since the other party did not provoke any strong enemies, Gu Mo signed a lease agreement for the spiritual field with the other party, but the term of the agreement was not specified in detail.

If Gu Mo can get a Level 3 spiritual farm in the future, he will stop renting it, so he doesn't want to agree on a specific lease term. Fang Jiaoyan also doesn't want to fix the lease term, because after the family trains a new spiritual plant master, the spiritual farm will naturally be handed over to the family's own people to take care of.

"Fellow Daoist Hu, let's go to my family's residence now to take a look at the spiritual fields." The agreement was reached, and Fang Jiaoyan immediately invited Gu Mo to go.

"it is good!"

Gu Mo nodded. He would be staying there for some time.

Fang Jiaoyan's family is about thousands of miles away from the southern city of Yuntian Fairy City, which is also part of the hinterland of Yuntian Fairy City. The area covered by Yuntian Fairy City is said to be tens of thousands of miles away.

Everything within this area of ​​tens of thousands of miles belongs to Yuntian Immortal City. However, after so many years, some of the spiritual veins and spiritual fields here have been rented or sold by Yuntian Immortal City to many immortal cultivation families or small sects.

These immortal cultivation families and small sects depend on Yuntian Immortal City for survival, grow some spiritual plants, make some talismans, elixirs, magic tools and so on to sell in the Immortal City to support their families. At the same time, they also contribute to the prosperity of Yuntian Immortal City.

If you are lucky enough to find some rare spiritual plants, or rare elixirs, talismans, etc., you may have a chance to become a supplier of the Immortal City, and that would mean you have made a name for yourself.

"Fellow Daoist Hu, this is where my family resides." Fang Jiaoyan pointed to a hill in front of them. The top of the hill had been flattened, and a spiritual field of about two mu had been reclaimed on it. This should be the location of the second-grade top-quality spiritual field.

And on the mountainside, there are also many scattered small spiritual fields. These are some spiritual vein branches derived from the second-grade top-grade spiritual fields. These spiritual vein branches have also been utilized to open up small spiritual fields. If these scattered spiritual fields are used well, they can also produce a lot.

These scattered small pieces of spiritual fields are not within the scope of the contract, so they do not belong to Gu Mo. Of course, Gu Mo also looks down on these scattered small pieces of spiritual fields.

At the foot of the mountain, there is a large group of buildings. This is the residence of Fang Jiaoyan's family. From the scale of the buildings, it can be seen that there are quite a few people in this family. Considering that this is a family that has been passed down for more than a hundred years, and has been protected by Yuntian Fairy City for a hundred years, and no disasters have occurred, it is normal to have a large number of people.

"Fellow Daoist Hu, this is the token for entering and exiting the formation. With this token, you can enter and exit at will." Fang Jiaoyan took out a jade talisman. This jade talisman only had the effect of entering and exiting the formation. The real control jade talisman would naturally not be given to outsiders.

After taking the jade talisman, Gu Mo and Fang Jiaoyan passed through the formation and landed directly on the spiritual field on the top of the mountain.

During this period, Fang Jiaoyan had no intention of letting Gu Mo meet her family members, and Gu Mo had no such idea either. The two parties were just in a leasing relationship, and each party just needed to fulfill the contents agreed upon in the contract.

After carefully sensing the spiritual energy in the spiritual field, I found that it was indeed a second-grade top-grade spiritual field. Some bright silver bamboos were planted in the spiritual field. When the breeze blew, the bamboos made sword-like sounds. These were the sword bamboos.

However, these sword bamboos do not seem to be in good condition at the moment. They have not been taken care of by the spiritual plant master for a long time. If they continue like this, these sword bamboos will not wither and die, but a decline in quality is inevitable.

Gu Mo stepped forward and used his plant perception to quickly see the details of the sword bamboo in front of him. How should I put it? The cultivation of this sword bamboo was very ordinary. In addition to the normal spiritual field and spiritual rain, the cultivation of sword bamboo also requires the use of small Gengjin sword energy for sharpening, so that the sword bamboo can grow better.

However, these sword bamboos in front of him did not seem to be sharpened with the sword energy of the small Gengjin sword, but relied entirely on the spiritual power of the second-grade top-grade spiritual field.

The lower-grade 2nd-level sword bamboo is planted in the upper-grade 2nd-level spiritual field. This is just a forced pile.

"How did you cultivate this sword bamboo?" Gu Mo asked Fang Jiaoyan beside him.

"This……"

Facing Gu Mo's question, Fang Jiaoyan was a little hesitant. How to cultivate spiritual plants is the secret of every spiritual plant master. However, thinking that her Taoist partner is dead, these secrets are no longer secrets. Fang Jiaoyan immediately told him the method of cultivating sword bamboo.

"The spiritual plant master inheritance you got is incomplete, right?" After listening to Fang Jiaoyan's story, Gu Mo couldn't help but shook his head. He finally understood how important a good spiritual plant master inheritance was. The other party didn't even know that the sword bamboo needed to be sharpened with the small Gengjin sword energy.

And all this knowledge was just a random passage from the book that Qi Chunde gave to Gu Mo. This short line of words was the secret book that many casual spiritual plant masters had been desperately searching for.

From this we can also see how powerful the spiritual plant master heritage of Shennong Valley is.

"Yes, the spiritual plant master's inheritance is from my husband, and he got it in the trading market in Xiancheng." Fang Jiaoyan's face flushed slightly. She originally thought that the other party wanted to find out the secret of their cultivation of sword bamboo. Now it seems that this fellow Daoist Hu in front of him did not take their spiritual plant master's inheritance seriously at all.

Although spiritual plant masters are not as respected as elixirs, instruments, formations, and talismans among the hundred arts of cultivating immortals, the inheritance of spiritual plant masters is not so easy to obtain. It is already very lucky to be able to obtain an incomplete inheritance in the trading market.

But the disdain that Gu Mo showed for their sword bamboo cultivation method at this moment made Fang Jiaoyan realize that the other party was a spiritual plant master who mastered the complete spiritual plant master inheritance and was not comparable to her Taoist partner who was a half-baked one.

"I will take care of these sword bamboos, and then I will set up some concealing and defensive formations here." Gu Mo said. He didn't want people to know about the plants he planted, so he would set up the three old things here, the illusion formation, the nut formation, and the breath concealing formation.

"Then I won't bother you, Daoist Hu." Fang Jiaoyan bowed slightly and left. She didn't care about Gu Mo's arrangement of the formation. It was normal for a spiritual plant master to protect his secrets from being pried into by outsiders.

"Let's get to work."

After Fang Jiaoyan left, Gu Mo took out the formation plate and began to set up the formation. The illusion formation and the breath concealing formation remained the same as before, but the nut formation now had a 2nd-grade top-quality nut as the core, with the rest of the 2nd-grade nuts as auxiliary.

The nut array with second-grade top-quality nuts as the core should be able to block the attack of the fake elixir monk. If all the nuts are replaced with second-grade top-quality nuts, it is estimated that the golden elixir monk can also block it.

The formation covered the entire 2 mu of spiritual field, but Gu Mo could only use one mu of the 2nd grade top-quality spiritual field, and the other one mu was needed to plant sword bamboo. Of course, the contract also clearly stated that the area of ​​the 2nd grade top-quality spiritual field rented out by the other party was one mu.

However, with Gu Mo's ability, he can squeeze out another half acre of land without affecting the output of sword bamboo, so that Gu Mo's actual usable spiritual field area can be one and a half acres.

Although one and a half acres is still a little small, it is barely enough as a temporary transition. Since large-scale planting is not possible, Gu Mo will take the boutique route, focusing on improving the level of plants rather than the quantity.

While Gu Mo was busy, there was some noise in the family residence at the foot of the mountain.

The other members of the family were all opposed to Fang Jiaoyan renting the important second-grade top-grade spiritual field to outsiders, because they wanted another option.

That is to let Fang Jiaoyan remarry. Fang Jiaoyan's beauty is well known in this area. There are many people who covet her beauty. After her Taoist partner died, many important figures of family forces immediately expressed their desire to marry Fang Jiaoyan.

The other party will then pay a dowry that is enough to help the entire family get through this difficult time.

Compared to renting the family's important spiritual fields to outsiders, other clan members are more inclined to let Fang Jiaoyan remarry. In this way, not only will the family's important spiritual fields not need to be rented to outsiders, but Fang Jiaoyan will also not be able to control family affairs by relying on her status as the clan leader's Taoist companion.

Although she is the clan leader's Taoist companion, she is still a person of an outsider. How can the family affairs be controlled by an outsider? It should be inherited by other direct descendants of the family.

It is inevitable that a family of immortal cultivators that has been passed down for hundreds of years will have numerous factions within it. Each party has its own interests and they want to unite as one, unless they encounter a matter of life and death.

"Why does the family have short-sighted people like you? If we don't rent out the spiritual fields, who will cultivate the sword bamboo? Who will supply the Immortal City? Once we lose our status as a supplier to the Immortal City, what will be the consequences? Do you know?" Fang Jiaoyan felt tired after listening to the arguments of the crowd.

After saying that, Fang Jiaoyan glanced at a gray-haired elder in the clan. The other party was in the late stage of foundation building and was the one who made the most noise. Because once Fang Jiaoyan remarried, then the position of clan leader would definitely be his.

"Haha, as long as you remarry into the Xu family, even if we form an alliance, with the combined efforts of the two families, no one in this area can threaten us." The elder sneered.

"Lu Rong, are you an idiot?" Fang Jiaoyan couldn't help but laugh when she heard that. The safety of the family actually has to be entrusted to others. At that time, the person they have to be most careful of is not others, but the Xu family.

"you!"

Lu Rong was furious when he was pointed at and scolded, but he finally endured it. In the world of cultivating immortals, strength is respected, even in the family. Although Lu Rong was in the late foundation building stage, he was old and was no match for Fang Jiaoyan, who was in the middle foundation building stage.

After all, as the clan leader's wife, she had inherited many treasures from the family.

It is precisely because of this that Lu Rong wants Fang Jiaoyan to remarry and leave. In this way, he can not only take the position of patriarch, but also obtain the family's resources. Moreover, if he makes this happen, the Xu family will also give him an extra longevity pill. Longevity pills are very attractive to cultivators whose lifespan is approaching the end.

Even if he had to sacrifice a little bit of the family's interests for this, it would be acceptable. As long as Lu Rong could extend his life for a few years, he would have hope of achieving perfection in foundation building. Once his cultivation level broke through, he would be able to live freely for another hundred years. If he was lucky, he might even have hope of achieving golden elixir.

The prerequisite for all this is to obtain the longevity pill.
