Plants vs. Cultivation.

Chapter 133 Level 3 Sunflower
"Hello, Senior Hu!"

Lu Lingmei saluted very obediently, her voice was sweet with a hint of charm that was barely noticeable, she was born with a natural charm, this was not even her full-grown beauty yet, how amazing would she be when she grew up. If this happened in the secular world, she would definitely be a Daji-level existence.

But Gu Mo just nodded slightly. The soul at the fake elixir level could not be influenced by the little girl in front of him who had not yet grown up.

In the mortal world, being born with a charming body is considered to be a disaster for the country and the people, but in the world of cultivating immortals, it is actually not a particularly rare physique. Compared with Chu Feifei's unique fragrance physique, it is far inferior.

However, her natural charm and her low-grade water spiritual roots make her a very talented youngster.

With Gu Mo's divine sense at the level of Jiadan, he can see through most of the secrets of a Qi-refining cultivator with just a glance.

"Master Hu, I need to take care of family affairs at the moment. If you need any errands in the future, you can let my daughter do it." Fang Jiaoyan did not immediately ask Gu Mo to accept her daughter as a disciple, because such a rash request would most likely be rejected.

Once you refuse something like this, there will be no second chance.

Therefore, Fang Jiaoyan planned to let her daughter stay with the master as a maid for a while. After the master knew about her daughter's talent, he might want to take her as a disciple. Even if he didn't, just giving some pointers on the cultivation techniques of sword bamboo would benefit the entire Lu family.

"also!"

Gu Mo nodded and did not refuse. He did have some trivial matters that needed someone to take care of. As for Fang Jiaoyan's thoughts, Gu Mo could naturally guess it. However, Gu Mo had no intention of accepting a disciple. He himself was not even a formal disciple of Shennong Valley, so how could he be qualified to accept a disciple.

Only when Gu Mo goes to Shennong Valley and completes the formal apprenticeship ceremony, can he be considered a true disciple of Shennong Valley. As Qi Chunde's direct disciple, Gu Mo is at least treated as an inner disciple in Shennong Valley.

When inner disciples join the sect, they have to go through a formal ceremony of becoming apprentices. Only outer disciples and menial disciples do not have to go through these ceremonies.

"Lingmei, you just take care of your own things at ordinary times. I will inform you if there is anything." Gu Mo took out a communication jade talisman and handed it to Lu Lingmei, then returned to the Lingtian formation.

Gu Mo had no intention of letting Lu Lingmei enter the spiritual field. There were many secrets in his spiritual field that were not convenient for others to know, especially when some plants would expose themselves, so they had to be concealed as much as possible.

"Yes!"

Lu Lingmei took the jade talisman with a hint of surprise in her eyes. For the first time, she doubted her own charm. However, when she thought of what her mother said, the other party was a very powerful master of spiritual plants, she felt relieved.

How could someone who can become a master be a simple person? If she could easily deceive a master, then she would doubt whether this master was a fake.

In the following time, Lu Lingmei built a small hut outside the Lingtian formation and lived there, so that she could appear in front of Gu Mo as soon as possible and complete the task assigned by Gu Mo.

"Finally finished!"

In the cultivation space, Gu Mo looked at the upgrade arrow that had completely turned green, unable to hide his excitement. He had finally filled up the upgrade arrow of the 2nd-level premium sunflower.

At this moment, as long as Gu Mo clicks on the green arrow, the level 2 top-quality sunflower in front of him can be upgraded to a level 3 sunflower.

"call!!"

Taking a deep breath, Gu Mo immediately pointed to the upgrade arrow. In an instant, the sunflowers in the cultivation pot were shrouded in light. Then the aura of the sunflowers in the pot grew rapidly, and soon crossed a certain limit, officially entering the third level.

After the sunflower entered the third stage, its appearance did not change much, but Gu Mo keenly discovered that the sunflower in front of him emitted a faint emotion.

"This is……"

Feeling the emotions conveyed by the sunflower in front of him, Gu Mo was shocked. It was not uncommon in the world of immortal cultivation for spiritual plants to develop consciousness. Some high-level spiritual plants could even transform into humans.

However, Gu Mo did not expect that the sunflower could actually develop intelligence. Although this intelligence is still very weak and limited to conveying simple emotions, it is a good start. As the sunflower continues to upgrade in the future, this intelligence will probably also increase accordingly.

Sunflowers can give birth to intelligence, so what about other plants like the Pea Shooter? If the Pea Shooter can also give birth to intelligence, then its attacks in the future will be more intelligent.

It is conceivable that in the future, as the number of plants owned by Gu Mo continues to increase, it will become very difficult for him to accurately control each plant. However, if these plants can develop intelligence, then no matter how many plants there are, Gu Mo can easily control them with just one command.

Of course, the intelligence of the sunflower is of no use at present. The sun essence condensed by this third-level sunflower is the most important.

After transplanting the upgraded level 3 sunflowers into the spiritual field, Gu Mo waited quietly for a day, ready to see what kind of solar essence the level 3 sunflowers could condense in this level 2 premium spiritual field.

Night falls.

Gu Mo couldn't wait to collect the sun essence condensed by the 3rd-level sunflower. The sun essence still looked like the illusory little sun, but there was a little silver light in the illusory little sun.

"This is... Danli!"

Seeing the familiar silver light, Gu Mo instantly guessed its origin. It was the power of the fake pill possessed by the fake pill incarnation.

After refining the solar essence and feeling the silver-glowing spiritual power emerging from his body, Gu Mo confirmed his guess that this incomplete tier 3 solar essence could provide him with fake pill-level power.

The trace of fake elixir power that appeared in the body would not be a burden to Gu Mo now, because Gu Mo's physique and consciousness were already at the fake elixir level, and he could fully control the fake elixir level of power.

Even if Gu Mo wanted the fake elixir power, he could just draw some from the fake elixir incarnation. Therefore, the improvement of Gu Mo by the 3rd-level sunflower this time did not seem to be as great as the improvement of Gu Mo in the Qi Refining Stage by the 2nd-level sunflower at that time.

However, this incomplete 3rd-order solar essence is a qualitative leap for the upgrade of other plants. Using this incomplete 3rd-order solar essence to upgrade other plants will definitely be faster than using 2nd-order solar essence. It can allow Gu Mo to quickly upgrade other plants to 3rd-order.

In addition, this incomplete 3rd-level solar essence is an opportunity for the fake pill incarnation to break through the shackles.

The fake elixir and external elixir cultivators are limited by the imperfect fake elixir and external elixir in their bodies, and their cultivation cannot continue to improve. But this time, the sun essence containing the power of the fake elixir may allow the fake elixir incarnation to continue to improve its cultivation.

Moreover, this is only an incomplete 3rd-order sun essence. If it is a complete 3rd-order sun essence, Gu Mo estimates that the elixir power contained in it should be the real golden elixir power. When the fake elixir incarnation refines the golden elixir power, I wonder if some special changes will occur, allowing the fake elixir incarnation to make up for the innate defects and reach a perfect state, thus advancing to become a real golden elixir.

The current fake dan incarnation is the protector of Gu Mo himself, but as Gu Mo's strength increases, the fake dan incarnation whose cultivation cannot continue to improve will eventually be eliminated.

But at this moment, the solar essence condensed by the third-level sunflower gave Gu Mo hope of continuing to improve the strength of the fake pill incarnation. Of course, the above is just Gu Mo's guess. Whether it is feasible or not, he has to summon the fake pill incarnation to try it himself.

"Just wait a few more days."

Gu Mo thought about it and did not summon the fake elixir incarnation immediately. He planned to wait for a few days to accumulate more level 3 solar essences.

a few days later.

A figure entered the Lingtian formation silently. With the current strength of the fake elixir incarnation and the jade talisman for entering and exiting the formation, the Lu family could not detect the existence of the fake elixir incarnation at all, even Lu Lingmei who was just outside the Lingtian formation.

Her cultivation was too low, and Lu Lingmei couldn't even sense the fake elixir incarnation passing by her.

After the fake pill incarnation arrived, Gu Mo immediately handed over several incomplete level 3 solar essences that he had accumulated over the past few days, and then the fake pill incarnation directly refined and absorbed them.

"effective."

A moment later, Gu Mo learned the result. The power of the fake elixir in the essence of the sun did indeed enhance the strength of the fake elixir incarnation. Although the amount was not much, for a fake elixir cultivator who could not make any progress in his cultivation, this tiny improvement was enough to be shocking.

Gu Mo broke people's inherent impression that the cultivation level of fake dan cultivators cannot be improved. If the cultivation level of the fake dan incarnation continues to improve, will the strength of the fake dan incarnation be comparable to that of a real golden dan cultivator in the future?

Unfortunately, Gu Mo only has one level 3 sunflower at the moment. It is impossible to use all the solar essence condensed by this level 3 sunflower to enhance the strength of the fake elixir incarnation. Gu Mo needs to use this level 3 sunflower to upgrade more plants. After accumulating more level 3 sunflowers, Gu Mo will be able to allocate a few of them specifically to enhance the strength of the fake elixir incarnation.

Of course, it would be best to get a piece of level 3 spiritual field, and then directly condense the complete level 3 solar essence. That would be the time when the level 3 sunflower would bring a huge improvement to Gu Mo.

After all, Gu Mo is not interested in the power of fake elixirs, but if it is the power of golden elixir, it will be a huge improvement for both Gu Mo himself and his incarnation.

At that time, Gu Mo will replace all the liquid spiritual power in his body with golden elixir power, use the spiritual forging technique to strengthen his physique to the golden elixir level, and then use the physique to nourish the soul, so that he can finally possess the strength of a golden elixir cultivator during the foundation-building period.

As for whether mastering the power of the golden elixir in the foundation-building stage would lead to the embarrassing situation of breaking through the foundation-building stage in the Qi refining stage, Gu Mo felt that it should not happen. The reason why he was stuck in entering the foundation-building stage before was because Gu Mo had all the conditions for the foundation-building stage in the Qi refining stage.

However, if a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage wants to advance to the Golden Core Stage, he needs to condense the Golden Core. He only possesses the power of the Golden Core in his body and is not a true Golden Core cultivator.

By then, Gu Mo can continue to condense the golden elixir by practicing the method of forming the golden elixir. It will definitely be easier to condense the golden elixir using the power of the golden elixir than using the liquid spiritual power of the foundation-building period to condense the golden elixir.

Maybe this is the 3rd level sunflower, a huge boost in helping Gu Mo break through the Golden Core realm. However, this time the help of the sunflower was not as direct as the 2nd level. At that time, the 2nd level sun essence directly gave Gu Mo liquid spiritual power, allowing Gu Mo to meet all the conditions of the foundation building stage in the Qi Refining stage.

Although this allowed Gu Mo to possess the strength to build a foundation during the Qi Refining Stage, it also brought some trouble to Gu Mo when he officially entered the Foundation Building Stage.

This time, the level 3 sunflower only provides Gu Mo with elixir power. The process of condensing the golden elixir still needs to be completed by Gu Mo himself, so he should not be stuck.

When he was stuck in breaking through the foundation-building stage before, Gu Mo created a fake Dan incarnation. If he is stuck in advancing to the Golden Core stage, Gu Mo can’t create an incarnation at the Yuanying level to break through.

After confirming the improvement effect of the tier-3 sun essence on the fake elixir incarnation, Gu Mo let the fake elixir incarnation leave. Now there is only one tier-3 sunflower, and he needs to use it to upgrade other plants. It cannot be used to improve the cultivation of the fake elixir incarnation.

While Gu Mo was busy upgrading the plants, the Lu family was also engaged in a debate. The topic of the debate was whether it was appropriate to rent the family's rank 2 top-grade spiritual field to outsiders.

Before this topic came up, most of the clan members were opposed to it, but when Fang Jiaoyan took out the family's income which was several times that of previous years, many people's attitudes changed.

After all, this real income is the most direct interest of family members. Only when the family is rich can family members benefit and be provided with various cultivation resources.

In comparison, renting the spiritual fields to outsiders is nothing. The Lu family even has to thank the master for renting their spiritual fields. Otherwise, how could they have earned several times the amount?

Of course, there are still many people in the Lu family who hold opposing views. To be precise, they are not opposed to an increase in income, but to Fang Jiaoyan.

Fang Jiaoyan's move increased her voice in the family, which was something Lu Rong absolutely did not want to see.

But Lu Rong also knew that under such circumstances, it would be difficult for him to bring down Fang Jiaoyan. Fang Jiaoyan had brought real benefits to everyone. Who would oppose Fang Jiaoyan now?

Only people from Lu Rong's faction would continue to oppose, because only by overthrowing Fang Jiaoyan and making Lu Rong the patriarch of the family can people from their faction gain greater benefits.

"Elders, what should we do?" At Lu Rong's residence, several core members of the faction looked at Lu Rong with worry on their faces.

With the death of the previous clan leader, they all thought that the opportunity for their faction had come. However, they never thought that Fang Jiaoyan was lucky enough to rent the spiritual field to a spiritual plant master. Now that the family income has skyrocketed, who would oppose Fang Jiaoyan?

"Why rush? I have my own way." Lu Rong knocked on the table. He certainly had other ways, but this way would be very costly.

But thinking about his short remaining life span, Lu Rong finally decided to give it a try. He didn't want to die of old age, he wanted to keep fighting.

Xu family.

"Can't you wait even for a year?" Xu Guangquan looked at the invitation letter secretly handed over by Lu Rong, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Immediately, Xu Guangquan got up and went to Xiancheng to prepare for the appointment with Lu Rong.
