Plants vs. Cultivation.

Chapter 178 Koi Master
Mission Hall.

"Huh? Why did the commission for the top-grade Tuomai Pill disappear?" Some disciples of Shennong Valley who were looking for a mission suddenly discovered something and hurried to look for it.

"It should be that the client has withdrawn it." Upon hearing this, a disciple guessed that after all, this task had been pending for a long time, so it was normal for it to be withdrawn.

"It seems that Senior Brother An Yu's disciple has not yet established his foundation. He should not cancel the mission at this time." A Shennong Valley cultivator in the Jindan realm obviously knew who issued the mission.

"So, this task was completed by someone?" Hearing this, another Jindan cultivator interrupted.

The top-grade Tuomai Pill, this task has not been completed for such a long time, which is enough to show its difficulty. If it was a simple task, these Jindan cultivators would have failed long ago.

The top-grade Tuomai Pill is naturally not available to Jindan cultivators, but some of their disciples and followers always need it.

"That's impossible. I haven't heard of any particularly powerful alchemists appearing in the valley. It can't be that Elder Liu took action."

"That's not necessarily true. Senior Brother An Yu thinks highly of that disciple. He might ask his master to come forward and have Elder Liu refine the medicine."

……

While everyone was talking, a late Jindan cultivator brought a young man into the mission hall quickly. Seeing this, everyone turned their eyes over.

"It's Senior Brother An Yu!"

When they saw the person coming, everyone's eyes lit up, and then they quickly came over, wanting to know what the other party's alchemy commission was about.

"What are you all doing here?!"

An Yu looked at the people approaching and said unhappily.

"Hehe, this is just curiosity. Senior Brother An Yu, have you completed the commission?" Hearing this, everyone did not get angry and asked with a smile.

"That's right!"

Knowing that the matter could not be concealed, An Yu agreed directly.

"what!"

After getting the exact news from An Yu, the whole audience was in an uproar. The task of producing 9 top-grade Tuomai Pills had actually been completed by someone. Which alchemy master did this?

"I just got the news too."

Feeling everyone's gazes, An Yu spread his hands. He was very curious at the moment. He could confirm that this person was definitely not Elder Liu. As a 4th-rank alchemist, the reward of the top-grade Tuomai Pill could not attract her at all.

"What are you waiting for? Go and hand over the task and see who has completed it!" everyone urged.

Everyone wanted to know which alchemy master completed this task, and they also wanted to find which master to entrust with the refining of the top-grade Tuomai Pill.

"What are you urging me to do?"

An Yu was somewhat reluctant because he also wanted to meet this master alchemist. No one would think that there was too little of the top-grade Tuomai Pill. He had many disciples, and besides the girl, there were several others with good talents.

If he could get more top-grade Tuomai Pills, then his several talented disciples would also be able to increase their foundation, and maybe in the future they could catch up with those disciples who are more talented than them.

After all, in addition to talent, acquired training is also very important for a cultivator's future achievements, and the top-grade Tuomai Pill is the best elixir for training disciples.

The stronger the initial foundation is, the more hope there will be to break through to a higher level in the future.

Unfortunately, given the current situation, it is impossible for him to have exclusive access to this information, but at least he has obtained 9 top-grade Tuomai Pills, and the worst that can happen is that they can compete together in the future.

As a cultivator in the late Jindan stage, An Yu believed that he was wealthier than his fellow junior brothers and nephews.

The handover of the task went very smoothly, and An Yu soon got a jade bottle.

"Brother An Yu, open it and take a look!"

Everyone stared at the jade bottle in An Yu's hand and urged him again. Although the Mission Hall confirmed that the mission was completed, which meant that the top-grade Tuomai Pill was successful, everyone wanted to witness it with their own eyes.

"it is good!"

This time An Yu did not refuse because he also wanted to confirm it in person.

Taking a deep breath, An Yu carefully opened the jade bottle. Suddenly, a strong elixir fragrance overflowed. Smelling this elixir fragrance, An Yu felt at ease.

The cultivators surrounding them were also shocked. As disciples of a top sect like Shennong Valley, they were naturally knowledgeable.

From the fragrance of the pill, everyone was basically certain that the jade bottle contained the top-grade Tuomai Pill. And this certainty was finalized after An Yu poured out a pill with pill patterns.

"Brother An Yu, quickly take a look, which master completed the task?" After confirming the top-grade Tuomai Pill, everyone began to get excited.

"Koi...real person?"

An Yu picked up the task handover form. There was a signature on it, but An Yu felt extremely unfamiliar with this name. Not only An Yu, but everyone else felt the same.

It is obvious that this is not a real name, but a Taoist name. In fact, many famous monks are known to the public not by their real names, but by their Taoist names.

But no one has ever heard of this Taoist name of Koi Zhenren.

But the other party claimed to be a real person, so he should be a Jindan real person. It’s just that in a top-level sect like Shennong Valley, there are quite a few disciples in the Jindan realm. If it is an ordinary Yuanying sect, there are not many Jindan cultivators in the sect, and they can be quickly identified.

Since the master's identity cannot be confirmed, the only option for everyone is to issue a designated commission, that is, to designate a certain person to accept the commission.

Soon, several commissions for top-grade Tuomai Pills were posted. The reason why there were only a few copies was naturally because the news had not spread yet.

Moreover, the reward for the top-grade Tuomai Pill is the same as that for commissioning the refining of a 3rd-grade pill, or even much higher. Except for some wealthy Jindan cultivators, ordinary Jindan cultivators cannot afford this reward, let alone those below the Jindan level.

The next day.

The news that the top-grade Tuomai Pill had been completed began to spread, and the name of Koi Zhenren also began to be known by many disciples of Shennong Valley, but no one knew who this mysterious Koi Zhenren was.

"It's worthy of being a spiritual farming spell at the esoteric level, it's really much more mysterious!" Gu Mo walked out of the hut and saw Xiaoli watering Master Xiaohua in the yard.

The spiritual rain transformed by the magical power of moving clouds and rain was also very attractive to Master Xiaohua.

"Little Mo!"

Seeing Gu Mo appear, Xiao Hua waved his hand. Xiao Li's spiritual rain and Gu Mo's accelerated growth were already indispensable to Xiao Hua's life. Hearing this, Gu Mo stepped forward and used the accelerated growth on Master Xiao Hua. Then, he left the courtyard and headed for the Mission Hall.

Previously, Gu Mo completed the task of making the high-grade Tuomai Pill and received a contribution from the sect. Afterwards, Gu Mo exchanged this contribution for an advanced version of the Lingnong secret technique.

Gu Mo has not forgotten that spiritual plant master is his main job, and alchemist can only be regarded as a side job. Now that the sect contribution has been exchanged for spiritual farming secrets, Gu Mo will naturally continue to take on tasks and earn sect contribution.

"Why are there so many requests for top-grade Tuomai Pills?"

When he arrived at the Mission Hall, Gu Mo saw more than ten commissions for top-grade Tuomai Pills at a glance. Moreover, these were all designated commissions, and the designator was Jinli Zhenren.

This Koi Zhenren is naturally the Taoist name that Gu Mo gave himself.

There are many mysterious methods in the world of cultivating immortals. Taking a Taoist name to cover up the real name is also a form of self-protection. This is also the main reason why cultivators use Taoist names when traveling outside.

Since there was a new mission to obtain the top-grade Tuomai Pill, and he was designated to take it, Gu Mo naturally would not hesitate and accepted all of the dozen or so commissioned tasks.

With Gu Mo's current ability, it wouldn't take much time to refine a top-grade Tuomai Pill, and the reward for a top-grade Tuomai Pill was the same as that for a level 3 pill.

The reward for making more than a dozen level 3 pills would take an average level 3 alchemist at least a dozen years. The refining of a level 3 pill takes several months, and considering the probability of failure, it is not an exaggeration to say that more than a decade is enough.

For Gu Mo, it only took him more than ten days to complete the commissions for more than a dozen top-grade Tuomai Pills.

In just over ten days, he earned as much money as an average 3rd-level alchemist would earn over ten years. This would be enough to make many alchemists jealous.

"What do you think? Will Master Koi accept commissions for top-grade Tuomai Pills again?" At this moment, many disciples were paying attention to those commissions.

"How can we ordinary people guess what the master is thinking?" Many disciples shook their heads. Being able to refine the best Tuomai Pill, Gu Mo has become the master of alchemy in everyone's mind.

"Quick, look, all the missions for the top-grade Tuomai Pills have disappeared!" A sudden cry of surprise caused the mission hall to explode instantly.

Immediately, everyone gathered together and saw that the commissions for more than a dozen top-grade Tuomai Pills had been accepted. They looked around excitedly, trying to find the mysterious Koi Master.

Gu Mo was pushed back by the influx of people before he had the chance to leave. Naturally, he was swept by countless gazes, but those gazes soon shifted away.

Because at this moment Gu Mo has used the breath-concealing technique to conceal his own cultivation level, in the eyes of everyone, he is just an ordinary foundation-building disciple.

Everyone knows that Jinli Zhenren is a Jindan cultivator, and Gu Mo's foundation-building cultivation level is obviously not suitable.

The search was fruitless, and everyone couldn't help but feel a little regretful. Of course, some disciples went directly to ask the Mission Hall, which must have news about Jinli Zhenren.

However, all these inquiries were rejected by the Mission Hall. As long as the person concerned did not nod, the Mission Hall could not leak the information about the person concerned at will.

Without getting an answer, everyone just gave up. However, they started discussing again about how long it would take for the Koi Master to complete these commissions.

The protagonist of everyone's discussion, Gu Mo, returned leisurely to his leaf hut. He first went to the spiritual field and collected today's share of the sun's essence.

Afterwards, he returned to the leaf hut and began to refine the top-grade Tuomai Pill.

More than ten days later, an explosive piece of news spread that the Koi Master had directly completed more than a dozen commissions for top-grade Tuomai Pills.

Everyone was shocked by the efficiency and success rate.

"Master Koi, could it be Junior Brother Gu Mo?" Qian Tao, a member of the alchemy branch who was preparing to go out to explore the secret realm, heard the news and instantly thought of Gu Mo.

Almost all the people in Shennong Valley who can make pills are from their lineage. The only exception is probably Gu Mo. Qian Tao has witnessed Gu Mo's alchemy skills with his own eyes. Moreover, he had previously obtained a top-grade magic furnace and a strange fire, so it is entirely possible for him to refine the top-grade Tuomai Pill.

However, since Gu Mo used a Taoist name instead of his real name, it meant that Gu Mo did not want to expose himself, so Qian Tao naturally would not be the leaker.

He didn't even reveal the matter of Gu Mo's torch tree stump. The reason was simple: he and his master were the only two people who knew that Gu Mo had such a special spiritual plant as the torch tree stump. Qian Tao wanted to take advantage of this fact while the others were still unaware of it and gather enough treasures as quickly as possible to trade with Gu Mo.

If he missed this opportunity, once more people knew that Gu Mo had special spiritual plants like the torch stump, it might not be his turn.

Although Gu Mo did not say how difficult it was to cultivate the torch tree stump, judging from the powerful effects displayed by the spiritual plant, it was obvious that it was not so easy to cultivate.

Thinking of this, Qian Tao no longer hesitated and chose to leave directly, preparing to find some helpers to explore that secret place.

After Gu Mo completed the task of obtaining the top-grade Tuomai Pill and received a large amount of contribution from the sect, he went to exchange it for Lingnong's advanced spells. Gu Mo needed to make up for his shortcomings as soon as possible.

As long as he shows strong enough attainments as a spiritual plant master, then all the plants that Gu Mo took out can be explained.

While Gu Mo was working hard to comprehend the advanced version of the Lingnong secret technique, the matter of the top-grade Tuomai Pill continued to ferment. Even many people from the outer sect knew that a master alchemist who could refine the top-grade Tuomai Pill appeared in Shennong Valley.

As a result, many alchemy commissions from the outer sects also appeared in the Mission Hall. At this moment, the top leaders of Shennong Valley were also alarmed.

"Junior Sister Liu, is that Jinli Zhenren you?"

In the hall at the top of the ancient tree, all the elders of each branch, except those who were away or in seclusion, had arrived. This time, everyone gathered not for the matter of good or evil, but for the Koi Master who had been in the limelight recently.

In this regard, many elders turned their eyes to Liu Shulan. As the only 4th-level alchemist in Shennong Valley, she was the only one who had the ability to refine the top-grade Tuomai Pill.

"It's not me. You should go to Senior Brother Hou for this matter!" Liu Shulan glanced at Hou Chunyu not far away.

"what!"

Hou Chunyu was a little confused when he was suddenly called out by Liu Shulan. What did this alchemy matter have to do with him? He didn't know how to make alchemy.

Seeing Hou Chunyu's bewildered look, Liu Shulan's heart moved, "Brother Hou, didn't you accept a disciple named Gu Mo before? I'm quite optimistic about him. How about letting him come here?"

"What do you want to do!"

As a cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage, Hou Chunyu had extremely sharp perceptions and instantly realized that there was a trap in Liu Shulan's words. However, he did not understand why Junior Sister Liu took a fancy to Gu Mo.

He doesn't know how to make alchemy...

"not……"

Suddenly, Hou Chunyu thought of something, but this thought made Hou Chunyu a little bit unbelievable. Gu Mo possessed the talent of a true disciple and the talent of a spiritual plant master that even Qi Chunde admired. This was already very exaggerated.

Does this require another level 4 alchemist like Junior Sister Liu to ask for alchemy talent?
