Plants vs. Cultivation.

Chapter 137 Three Years
"Huh~ I have finally finished what my mother asked me to do." Lu Lingmei followed the light of morning light and walked towards the spiritual field on the top of the mountain.

Yesterday, her mother suddenly asked her to take charge of some family affairs. Lu Lingmei did not think much about it. Given the current family situation, every family member needs to work hard to revive the family.

After Lu Lingmei completed her mission today, she came here without stopping in case Senior Hu had any instructions and couldn't find her. After witnessing with her own eyes that Senior Hu easily repelled the powerful enemy of the Xu family, Lu Lingmei's admiration for Gu Mo reached a new level.

Arriving at the hut in front of the Lingtian formation, Lu Lingmei was about to go in when she saw her mother walking out of the Lingtian formation.

"Lingmei, are you done with everything?" Seeing her daughter, Fang Jiaoyan steadied her somewhat shaky steps and smiled.

"Ok!"

Lu Lingmei nodded and looked at Fang Jiaoyan with confusion in her eyes.

"I have just reached an agreement with Master Hu. Master Hu promised to guide you in the practice of spiritual plants. You must seize the opportunity." Fang Jiaoyan said seriously.

As for the price of reaching this agreement, Fang Jiaoyan naturally would not tell Lu Lingmei. If Master Hu looked down on her, Fang Jiaoyan would tell Lu Lingmei about the family's predicament and let her pay for the family.

But now Master Hu is quite satisfied with her, so naturally Lu Lingmei doesn't need to make any efforts. Of course, if Master Hu can stay, it is not impossible for them, mother and daughter, to serve him together.

After all, he was a strong man who could defeat the outer alchemy monks.

"I will work hard."

Upon hearing that she could get guidance from the powerful Senior Hu, Lu Lingmei was overjoyed, and the slight doubt that had just arisen in her mind was instantly thrown out of her mind. If she wanted to revive her family, she must practice hard, and getting guidance from a master of spiritual plants was definitely a great opportunity.

"it is good!"

Fang Jiaoyan touched Lu Lingmei's head with satisfaction, and then left.

In the Lingtian hut.

Gu Mo stretched himself and couldn't help recalling last night's experience. Last night, Gu Mo finally put into practice the rich theoretical knowledge he had gained from watching short movies on Earth on Fang Jiaoyan. Although he was not very skilled in his first practical attempt, with his physique at the fake elixir level, Gu Mo still easily controlled Fang Jiaoyan.

Of course, as a transaction, Gu Mo had a good experience, so he naturally had to show some appreciation. His spiritual sense detected Lu Lingmei in the hut outside, and Gu Mo called Lu Lingmei over through voice transmission.

"Greetings, Senior Hu!"

Lu Lingmei bowed respectfully. With her mother's advice, she knew that this senior had called her here to teach her how to practice spiritual plants. This made Lu Lingmei very much looking forward to it.

"I will teach you how to cultivate sword bamboo later. You must learn it well." Gu Mo said. Most spiritual plant masters would choose to specialize in one or two spiritual plants, and Gu Mo's request to Lu Lingmei was the same. The spiritual plant that Lu Lingmei chose to specialize in was of course the sword bamboo.

This is a spiritual plant that is related to the future destiny of the Lu family. When Gu Mo leaves in the future, if no one in the Lu family can cultivate the sword bamboo, then the Lu family will be disqualified as a supplier to the Immortal City. This qualification is absolutely an extremely important amulet for the current Lu family.

However, sword bamboo is a second-level spiritual plant, and Lu Lingmei is currently only in the Qi Refining stage. Even if she only specializes in sword bamboo, it probably won't be easy for her to cultivate it on her own.

However, Gu Mo will not leave in the short term. At least before the Xiancheng Auction, Gu Mo will continue to stay in the Lu family, and there are still more than three years before the auction begins.

"Yes!"

Lu Lingmei nodded seriously.

Afterwards, Gu Mo began to guide Lu Lingmei in the practice of Xiao Yun Yu Jue and Xiao Geng Jin Jian Qi, which are the two most important spiritual farming spells for cultivating sword bamboo.

As a person with lower-grade water spiritual roots, Lu Lingmei made rapid progress in comprehending the Little Cloud and Rain Art, but her progress in comprehending the Little Gengjin Sword Qi was relatively slow.

Time passed day by day, and in the blink of an eye, three years had passed.

Three years is just a blink of an eye for a cultivator, but for Gu Mo, these three years were a period of rapid growth in his foundation.

This foundation naturally refers to Gu Mo's plants. In three years, Gu Mo successfully completed the upgrade of five level-3 sunflowers.

With the help of those 5 level 3 sunflowers, Gu Mo also upgraded many plants to level 2 top quality. The reason why he only upgraded them to level 2 top quality instead of directly upgrading them to level 3 was that Gu Mo's plan was to accumulate a wave of level 2 top quality plants. After obtaining the level 3 spiritual field, those 5 level 3 sunflowers would be able to condense a complete level 3 solar essence.

When the time comes, it will be more efficient to upgrade with the complete 3rd level solar essence.

The grand auction held every five years in Xiancheng is about to begin. There will be two situations for Gu Mo in this auction. One is that there are 5rd-level spiritual fields for rent and sale. In that case, there is nothing to say. Gu Mo will bid with all his strength to win the 3rd-level spiritual fields. The second situation is that there are no 3rd-level spiritual fields in this auction.

Then, Gu Mo will try to buy a 2nd-grade top-quality spiritual field, and then use the earth vein beads to upgrade the 2nd-grade top-quality spiritual field to a 3rd-grade spiritual field.

If the third situation occurs, for example, there is not even a 2nd-grade top-grade spiritual field, then Gu Mo can only upgrade the Lu family's 2nd-grade top-grade spiritual field to 3rd-grade.

As for whether upgrading the Lu family's spiritual field to level 3 would bring disaster to the Lu family, Gu Mo would naturally help solve this problem. For example, before leaving, Gu Mo would leave a few plants in the spiritual field as the Lu family's trump card.

As long as the Lu family can keep the 3rd level spiritual field, then this will be a great opportunity for the Lu family, giving them the foundation to become a Jindan family.

Speaking of the Lu family, they have recovered a lot of vitality in the past three years, especially Fang Jiaoyan. It can be said that she has put aside all her dignity and decency to serve Gu Mo in various ways. For this purpose, she even practiced charm and dual cultivation techniques, just to give Gu Mo a new experience every time.

Fang Jiaoyan knew very well that only by keeping Master Hu fresh in her mind could this transaction continue.

Although practicing those magic and dual cultivation techniques delayed her practice, it was not important. What was important was that under the guidance of the master, Lu Lingmei's attainments as a spiritual plant master improved rapidly.

In addition, Lu Lingmei's cultivation level also improved rapidly. Although the Lu family suffered a great disaster and almost all the strong men in the family were killed or injured, the income of the Lu family was not affected. In the past few years, there has been no problem with Gu Mo's supply of sword bamboo.

Moreover, the number of sword bamboos increased greatly, causing the Lu family's income to surge again. Compared with before Gu Mo came, the Lu family's income had increased by at least seven or eight times, if not ten times.

The income has skyrocketed, but the number of powerful people who receive money from the family has decreased, so the resources that the Lu family can control have naturally increased. As the family's key training Lu Lingmei, of course, has received the greatest support. Lu Lingmei, who has a low-grade water spirit root, will naturally not be slow in cultivation with the blessing of a large number of cultivation resources. It is estimated that in a few years, Lu Lingmei will be able to achieve the great perfection of Qi Refining and begin to impact the Foundation Establishment Stage.

"Crash!"

The sound of raindrops outside the hut interrupted Gu Mo's meditation. Walking out of the hut, Gu Mo saw the dark clouds in the sky and the golden carp swimming in the clouds.

Below was Lu Lingmei, who looked like she was contemplating seriously. Xiaoli's Little Cloud and Rain Technique was at the advanced level. Therefore, every time Xiaoli performed the Little Cloud and Rain Technique, Lu Lingmei would come over to observe and comprehend carefully, and her efforts were rewarded.

Nowadays, Lu Lingmei's Xiao Yun Yu Jue has reached the mastery level, and it is not even the initial level of mastery. It must be said that water spirit roots do have a unique advantage in comprehending water magic.

In comparison, Lu Lingmei's Xiao Gengjin Sword Qi is still at the entry level.

However, it is barely enough to help manage the sword bamboo forest on a daily basis. Gu Mo only needs to tidy up the sword bamboo forest every few days.

"senior!"

Seeing Gu Mo appear, Lu Lingmei hurried over and saluted respectfully.

"Do you have any doubts about your cultivation?" Gu Mo asked with a smile. If Xiaoli possessed the Small Cloud and Rain Technique at the great perfection level, then Gu Mo had cultivated all five major spiritual farming spells to the great perfection level.

With Gu Mo's soul at the level of fake elixir, it would naturally be easier for him to comprehend the first-level spiritual farming spell than when he was in the Qi Refining Stage. Moreover, Gu Mo had already realized the essence of spiritual farming spells such as the Small Cloud and Rain Jue, so his realm would naturally improve rapidly.

Another point is that Gu Mo has plenty of time. He doesn't need to practice, so he has plenty of time to comprehend spells, sword classics, and even alchemy skills.

Gu Mo didn't want to waste the torch tree stump, a powerful tool for making elixirs and refining weapons. He made the fake elixir incarnate and found an alchemist inheritance in the fairy city.

Between alchemy and refining, Gu Mo chose alchemy. Being a spiritual plant master has advantages in alchemy. For example, Gu Mo can cultivate medicinal herbs by himself, and he is very familiar with the medicinal properties of medicinal herbs.

Combined with the fake pill-level spiritual awareness and the second-grade top-grade torch stump, the problems that have troubled countless novice alchemists, such as the identification of medicinal properties, the changes in medicinal power during pill refining, and the control of fire, have become extremely easy in front of Gu Mo.

The only pity is that the alchemist inheritance obtained by the fake pill incarnation is only a first-level inheritance. Now Gu Mo can easily refine various first-level pills with a very high success rate, and the cost of refining the pills is much lower than that of other alchemists.

However, the first-level elixir is of no use to Gu Mo. If he sells it, he can make some profit due to its low cost, but the profit of the first-level elixir is still a bit low.

Therefore, after mastering the knowledge inherited from the first-level alchemist, Gu Mo did not go any further and planned to continue his research after finding the inheritance from a higher-level alchemist.

Therefore, Gu Mo spent most of his time comprehending the spiritual farming spells and sword classics. He cultivated all five spiritual farming spells to the great perfection realm, which was the result of these three years.

Although the first-level spiritual farming spell is of little help to Gu Mo, who has a fake Dan soul and body.

But Gu Mo still spent a lot of time to comprehend, because these five spiritual farming spells will have advanced versions later. This was told to Gu Mo by Qi Chunde, and Gu Mo was not surprised by this.

After all, the five major Lingnong spells all have a small word in front of them. Obviously, there should be high-level versions without the small words. However, Gu Mo's fake dan incarnation did not find out about the advanced spells of Lingnong in the fairy city.

But when he thought about the fact that the immortal cultivation world here did not attach much importance to spiritual plant masters, Gu Mo felt relieved. If he wanted to obtain the advanced version of spiritual farming spells, he would probably have to go to Shennong Valley.

The existence of advanced versions of spiritual farming spells does not mean that those lesser spiritual farming spells do not need to be practiced. On the contrary, those lesser spiritual farming spells are the stepping stones to comprehend those advanced versions of spiritual farming spells. Only by practicing the lesser spiritual farming spells to a high level can one better enter the advanced versions of spiritual farming spells.

This is the benefit of inheritance. If Qi Chunde had not left a message to remind him, although Gu Mo would continue to comprehend the Lingnong magic, he would not take it so seriously. By the time he went to Shennong Valley, he would not have comprehended the Lingnong magic enough and would not be able to practice the advanced version of the Lingnong magic. Wouldn't that be embarrassing for his master?

Of course, cultivating to the great success can only be considered not shameful. If one really wants to bring honor to the master, the perfection level is obviously indispensable.

However, even if it is a first-level spiritual farming spell, it is extremely difficult to practice it to perfection, and Gu Mo is not completely confident.

However, compared to the comprehension of the Sword Code, Gu Mo felt that it was easier to comprehension the spiritual farming spells. So Gu Mo only learned the first move of the Sword Code, the Heaven-Slashing Move, which was the easiest move to master in the Sword Code.

In the past three years, Gu Mo has also been trying to comprehend new sword techniques, for example, there is a sword technique called Sword Return, which Gu Mo values ​​very much, as it is a sword technique for defense and counterattack.

Block enemy attacks, then use the force to counterattack.

Blocking, leveraging force, and counterattacking are three steps, but they have to be combined into one move. Its difficulty is countless times more difficult than Zhan Tian's purely killing sword move. But once mastered, it is a powerful sword technique that combines defense and counterattack.

After three years of comprehension, Gu Mo is still at the blocking stage, but this has already enabled him to acquire a good defensive method.

The more Gu Mo comprehended the sword manual, the more he discovered the extraordinaryness of this sword manual. However, this was only the incomplete sword manual collected and summarized by Master Yuquan. If it were a complete sword manual, it would be a very powerful sword-cultivation technique.

"Senior, Lingmei is still a little confused about the Xiao Gengjin sword energy." Seeing Gu Mo asking about her own practice, Lu Lingmei hurriedly expressed her confusion.

Lu Lingmei's troubles were very simple for Gu Mo, who had already mastered the Xiao Gengjin sword energy. Just a little guidance made Lu Lingmei feel as if everything was suddenly enlightened.

At this time, the little carp, who had just released the Little Cloud and Rain Spell, swam over and spit out a string of bubbles at Lu Lingmei, and Lu Lingmei also cast a low-level bubble spell to counterattack.

In the past three years, Xiaoli and Lu Lingmei have become very familiar with each other. For Xiaoli, who is also a water-type spirit beast, water spiritual roots make him more willing to get close to others.

Of course, the most important thing is to have a playmate. Gu Mo usually spends his time comprehending spells and swordsmanship, so he naturally doesn't have much time to play with Xiaoli. Lu Lingmei's arrival helped Xiaoli find a playmate.

Gu Mo pulled a chair and sat down, quietly watching the man and the fish playing, while his consciousness shifted to the fake Dan incarnation.

The Xiancheng Grand Auction is about to begin, and Gu Mo also wants to find out whether there will be any spiritual fields for rent or sale that he is interested in at this auction.

Before the big auction begins, Xiancheng will announce some treasure information in advance.
