Plants vs. Cultivation.

Chapter 132 I Became a Master

"Of course!"

As a condition for renting the other party's second-grade top-grade spiritual field, Gu Mo would naturally not be careless about the cultivation of the sword bamboo.

Immediately, Gu Mo returned to the spiritual field and came to the half-acre spiritual field planted with sword bamboo. Compared with a year ago, the sword bamboos at this moment were full of vitality and contained sharp sword energy.

This lower-grade 2nd level sword bamboo has been cultivated by Gu Mo to the level of middle-grade 2nd level.

With two fingers put together, small Gengjin sword energy burst out from Gu Mo's fingertips. To harvest the sword bamboo, there are also some tricks. It is necessary to use sword energy techniques. However, if the power of the sword energy techniques is too weak, not only will it fail to cut the sword bamboo, but it will become the nourishment of the sword bamboo.

Only by exerting sword energy beyond the sword bamboo's endurance limit can the sword bamboo be cut off, and the sword bamboo harvested in this way is the most perfect.

“Fight, fight, fight…”

The sword energy burst out from Gu Mo's fingertips and slashed at the sword bamboo, causing bursts of sword sounds, but soon the sword sounds were quickly crushed, and at the same time, the sword bamboos were also chopped off.

There are a total of 100 sword bamboos, which are all the sword bamboos in the spiritual field and also the quantity supplied to the Immortal City. It must be said that the Lu family's previous supply to the Immortal City was at the limit. If there is any problem with the sword bamboos in the spiritual field, the supply quantity may be insufficient.

In fact, this kind of situation has already occurred twice, and the Lu family has been warned twice. If it happens again, there will be only two outcomes for the Lu family: one is to be disqualified as a supplier, and the other is to be downgraded.

As suppliers, they are also divided into different grades. The Lu family is considered a second-class supplier. After all, sword bamboo is a second-level spiritual plant. Suppliers who can supply second-level spiritual plants naturally cannot be compared with suppliers who supply first-level spiritual plants.

However, if the supplier fails to supply sufficient goods three times and does not want to be disqualified as a supplier, it will be downgraded from a second-tier supplier to a third-tier supplier. The lower the level, the fewer preferential benefits will be received.

"There should be a lot more sword bamboo next year."

Gu Mo's spiritual sense at the level of fake elixir swept towards the ground of the spiritual field. As long as the roots of the sword bamboo were still there, bamboo shoots of the sword bamboo would emerge from underneath next year and new sword bamboo would grow again.

Gu Mo took over halfway this year, but after a year of cultivation by Gu Mo, the root system of the sword bamboo has grown very vigorously, which means that the number of sword bamboo will increase next year.

Waving his hand to put away the 100 sword bamboos, Gu Mo left the Lingtian formation. Looking at Fang Jiaoyan who looked nervous, Gu Mo placed the 100 sword bamboos emitting sharp sword energy in front of Fang Jiaoyan.

The sword energy emitted by 100 sword bamboos at the same time made Fang Jiaoyan, who was in the middle stage of foundation building, feel a chill, but soon Fang Jiaoyan's eyes were filled with shock.

Fang Jiaoyan knew all too well about the situation of sword bamboo. After all, their Lu family had been supplying Xiancheng for many years, but it was the first time she had seen such top-quality sword bamboo.

If Fang Jiaoyan had been a little worried about Gu Mo's ability before, at this moment, all the worries in her heart disappeared. The strength of this fellow Daoist Hu was stronger than she had imagined.

At this moment, Fang Jiaoyan vaguely regretted not signing a long-term contract with Gu Mo at that time. However, she changed her mind and realized that such an outstanding spiritual plant master could not be bound by the small Lu family.

"Friend Fang, since the delivery date is tight, you might as well hand over the sword bamboo as soon as possible." Seeing Fang Jiaoyan still there in a daze, Gu Mo couldn't help but remind her.

"Ah, Brother Hu, aren't you going with me?" Fang Jiaoyan was stunned when she heard that.

"I'm not a supplier of Xiancheng, so what should I do there? And Fellow Daoist Fang, there's no need to mention me." Gu Mo waved his hand, and then his figure disappeared into the spiritual field formation.

Gu Mo himself would not run around unless there was something going on, especially when he is carrying a huge bounty. If anything really happens, Gu Mo can completely ask the fake Dan incarnation to take action.

Looking at Gu Mo who disappeared in the spiritual field formation, Fang Jiaoyan didn't know what to say for a moment. She had never seen such a cultivator before.

Although he possesses the powerful strength of a spiritual plant master, he is unwilling to show it. This is because he does not want to be disturbed by the outside world. He focuses all his attention on studying the skills of a spiritual plant master. Only in this way can he achieve such success.

At this moment, Fang Jiaoyan imagined a lot and portrayed Gu Mo as a cultivator who was devoted to studying the skills of a spiritual plant master.

The fact that Gu Mo never went out during this year also indirectly verified this point.

"Hu~~"

Taking a deep breath, Fang Jiaoyan put away the 100 sword bamboos, bowed slightly in the direction of the spiritual field, and then headed towards the fairy city.

With the sword bamboo this time, Fang Jiaoyan knew that the Lu family's supplier qualification was saved.

After speeding all the way, Fang Jiaoyan arrived at the place in Xiancheng that was responsible for purchasing and supplying spiritual materials. At this moment, there were already many supplier representatives waiting for the delivery of the goods.

"Fairy Fang is here!"

Fang Jiaoyan's appearance naturally attracted everyone's attention, and many of those eyes were filled with greed. Many cultivators had heard of Fang Jiaoyan's beauty, and seeing her today, they found that she was indeed as famous as her reputation had said.

It is said that the Taoist companion of Fairy Fang failed in his attempt to achieve the Golden Elixir and died. Without that spiritual plant master, the Lu family will probably be disqualified as a supplier to the Fairy City. Having lost the qualification as a supplier, they will also lose their Taoist companion who has reached the great perfection level of foundation building.

At this moment, Fang Jiaoyan is a hot commodity in the eyes of many people, and everyone wants to take a bite of her.

"Humph!"

Feeling the malicious gazes all around, Fang Jiaoyan snorted coldly. If it were before, Fang Jiaoyan would definitely be filled with worries, because if the Lu family lost the qualification of being a supplier of Xiancheng, it would be very dangerous.

But now...

Fang Jiaoyan touched the storage bag on her body. With these 100 top-quality sword bamboos, her qualification as a supplier for the Lu family was absolutely as solid as a rock.

"I've kept you waiting for a long time."

At this time, a middle-aged monk appeared. Although his cultivation was not very strong, all the supplier representatives present stood up and saluted him.

"I've met Manager Zhou!"

As the person in charge of purchasing spiritual materials from suppliers, he possesses enormous power, especially for the suppliers present. Whether the spiritual materials they submit meet the requirements is up to him.

Although this person would not lie with his eyes open and describe qualified spiritual materials as unqualified, as for some spiritual materials that are between qualified and unqualified, whether to accept them or not is entirely up to the other party's wishes.

Whether to accept or not is just a word from the other party, but for those suppliers, it concerns the harvest of the whole year and even the qualifications of the suppliers.

"You are all old acquaintances, so I won't waste my time talking." Zhou Shanlin bowed to everyone and directly started purchasing spiritual materials this year.

Immediately, everyone stepped forward and handed over the spiritual materials they had harvested, while Zhou Shanlin carefully identified the quality of the spiritual materials. Although Zhou Shanlin's cultivation was not high and he was only in the initial stage of foundation building, he had a very high level in identifying spiritual materials. This was the reason why he could become the person in charge of purchasing spiritual materials from suppliers.

"This batch of iron wire grass is unqualified." Zhou Shanlin looked at the spiritual grass with iron wires on it in front of him and shook his head.

"Manager Zhou, please be kind. We are really having difficulties this year." Seeing that his own iron wire grass was not up to standard, the supplier representative hurried forward and secretly handed over something.

"Xiancheng only looks at the quality of the goods and doesn't care about anything else." Zhou Shanlin pushed back the bribe that the other party had given him. If it were normal times, for this kind of spiritual material that could be accepted or not, if the other party gave him some benefits, Zhou Shanlin would just turn a blind eye and accept it.

But it won’t work this time. A senior official in Xiancheng was found to have accepted bribes, and Xiancheng is now investigating him strictly. He doesn’t want to commit a crime at this critical juncture.

"This this……"

Zhou Shanlin's refusal made the supplier representative a little at a loss for a moment. This batch of iron wire grass was an important source of income for their family. If Xiancheng did not accept it, they would have to tighten their belts this year.

Although the Immortal City does not accept them, you can still sell them at the trading market. However, the price at the trading market will definitely not be as much as what the Immortal City offers. In addition, the Immortal City purchases all of them at once, while the trading market can only sell them slowly. If the demand for spiritual materials is small, it is estimated that not all of them can be sold.

If it is just a financial loss, at most you will have to live a tight life for a year. The most important thing is that it will be recorded as a breach of contract. Three breaches will result in disqualification. As a third-tier supplier, there is no condition for further downgrade.

"Next!"

Zhou Shanlin spoke.

Upon hearing this, all the supplier representatives present felt nervous. It was obvious that everyone realized that this acquisition could not be done in a tricky way.

This made some representatives of suppliers whose spiritual materials were not of very good quality feel uneasy.

Zhou Shanlin then directly rejected the spiritual materials from several suppliers, causing panic among the people. Many supplier representatives did not dare to come forward to deliver the spiritual materials, fearing that their submitted spiritual materials would also be rejected.

Seeing everyone retreat, Fang Jiaoyan stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Manager Zhou, the Lu family has handed over the spiritual materials."

"Lu family, you need to hand over the sword bamboo, and you already have two breach of contract records. If you fail to hand in qualified sword bamboo this time, then you will be disqualified as a supplier of Xiancheng." Zhou Shanlin glanced at the beautiful Fang Jiaoyan. If it were usual, he might be able to use this opportunity to control the other party, but now the situation is tense, he dare not act recklessly. Although Fang Jiaoyan is beautiful, she is not to the point where he should give up his important position as the manager of Xiancheng.

"I will definitely satisfy Manager Zhou this time!"

Fang Jiaoyan took out the 100 sword bamboos as she spoke. Suddenly, a sharp sword energy dissipated, causing everyone around to look at her sideways.

"This is……"

Zhou Shanlin looked at the sword bamboo in front of him with a look of disbelief. As an expert in this field, he could tell at a glance that this sword bamboo was extraordinary.

This is already a mid-grade 2nd level sword bamboo, and even a mid-grade 2nd level is considered excellent. Sword bamboo is only a low-grade 2nd level spiritual plant, but at this moment someone has cultivated it to a mid-grade 2nd level, which is not something that an ordinary spiritual plant master can do.

"Manager Zhou, is there any problem with this sword bamboo?" Seeing that Zhou Shanlin said nothing, Fang Jiaoyan asked carefully.

"No, this sword bamboo is very good, very good. I wonder which spiritual plant master did Brother Fang ask to cultivate it?" Zhou Shanlin smiled gently.

Being able to cultivate spiritual plants to the point of breaking through the realm is something that no ordinary spiritual plant master can do. If Zhou Shanlin can invite this spiritual plant master to join the Immortal City, then he will have accomplished a great feat.

Xiancheng has always been thirsty for talents. If anyone can invite a top talent to join Xiancheng, Xiancheng will give generous rewards.

"I'm sorry, Manager Zhou, that master is a hermit." Fang Jiaoyan bowed. Since Gu Mo didn't want to be exposed, Fang Jiaoyan naturally couldn't reveal Gu Mo without permission.

"That's it!"

Zhou Shanlin nodded. He was well aware of the strange tempers of those masters. However, he knew that the master had a past relationship with the Lu family, so there would always be a chance in the future.

Thinking of this, Zhou Shanlin spoke again, "Friend Fang, if your Lu family can continue to provide sword bamboo of this quality, then I will apply to list you as a first-class supplier."

"what!"

When Fang Jiaoyan heard that there was an opportunity to become a first-class supplier, her beautiful eyes were filled with disbelief. She knew too well the benefits of becoming a first-class supplier in Xiancheng.

"Please rest assured, Manager Zhou, my Lu family will do our best to provide you with high-quality sword bamboo!" Fang Jiaoyan said hurriedly.

After leaving the Immortal City, Fang Jiaoyan still felt something was unreal, but the bag of heavy mid-grade spirit stones in her hand told her that everything that had just happened was real.

Because the quality of the sword bamboo has improved, the reward given by the Immortal City this time has naturally increased several times. According to the contract, the income from the sword bamboo will be divided equally between the Lu family and Gu Mo.

After all, the income from sword bamboo is an important source of income for the Lu family, and it is impossible to give it up completely, but in order to maintain her supplier qualification, Fang Jiaoyan gave up half of the income.

But according to the current situation, the Lu family's income has not only not decreased, but has even increased several times.

"Hu~~"

After letting out a long breath, Fang Jiaoyan couldn't help but smile. She thought that there shouldn't be any objection from the clan now.

"Master Hu!"

When she saw Gu Mo again, Fang Jiaoyan bowed very respectfully. The bow was very big and very white. Oh, she saw it wrong.

Gu Mo withdrew his gaze. He was not surprised by Fang Jiaoyan's reaction. The inheritance of the spiritual plant masters in this immortal world was ordinary, but what Gu Mo got was the inheritance of Shennong Valley. This was only a partial inheritance. The real inheritance would require Gu Mo to go to Shennong Valley to obtain it.

Just the spiritual plant master's inheritance that Gu Mo currently possesses is enough to make people think that Gu Mo is a spiritual plant master.

"Master Hu, this is the agreed share." Fang Jiaoyan presented the proceeds from the handed-in spiritual materials, and then pulled out a young girl who was following behind her.

This girl is about 70% similar to Fang Jiaoyan. She is born with a charming figure, which has not fully grown yet and is not obvious. But when she grows up, she will definitely be as beautiful as Fang Jiaoyan, or even more beautiful.

"Master Hu, this is my daughter Lu Lingmei!" Fang Jiaoyan introduced, with a hint of pride in her words.

Because her daughter possessed a low-grade water spiritual root and had a remarkable talent as a spiritual plant master, the clan planned to train her as a spiritual plant master and wanted her to inherit this rank 2 top-grade spiritual field. However, the family only had the incomplete spiritual plant master inheritance that her husband had obtained.

It is difficult to cultivate a real spiritual plant master relying on the incomplete spiritual plant master's inheritance, but Fang Jiaoyan sees hope now, because there is a spiritual plant master in front of her.

If his daughter could become the disciple of this spiritual plant master, it would be her great opportunity.
