Plants vs. Cultivation.

Chapter 183 Tombstone Moss
Along with a considerable amount of sect contribution being deducted, Gu Mo also obtained the spiritual plant he exchanged this time, the Sunlight Glazed Flower.

When you first see the Sunlight Glass Flower, you will definitely mistake it for a glass flower, because the Sunlight Glass Flower does not look like a plant, but like crystal clear glass.

If he hadn't been able to sense the vitality contained in this colored glass, Gu Mo would have thought that this was an artificial flower made of colored glass. After getting the things, Gu Mo went to his spiritual field without stopping, preparing to plant this sunlight colored glass flower.

As for the detailed cultivation method of Sunlight Glass, when Gu Mo learned about this Sunlight Glass Flower, he went to the sect's library to look for it and found it very easily.

Gu Mo finally decided to exchange it after learning that the greatest difficulty in cultivating the Sunlight Glazed Flower was the power of the sun.

If the cultivation of this sunlight glass requires not only the power of the sun but also other strict conditions, then Gu Mo will consider it carefully.

This is the benefit of having a method for cultivating spiritual plants. It allows you to know the needs of cultivating spiritual plants in advance. It can be said that the method for cultivating spiritual plants is like an alchemist's elixir recipe, a secret skill that is kept secret.

Only in a top-level spiritual plant master sect like Shennong Valley can one obtain the method of cultivating spiritual plants so easily. If it were outside, it would not be so easy to obtain the method of cultivating any kind of spiritual plant.

Of course, not all methods of cultivating spiritual plants in Shennong Valley can be easily obtained. Some high-value methods of cultivating spiritual plants still require sect contributions to exchange.

The conditions required for the cultivation of this Sunlight Glazed Flower are very harsh and there are very few spiritual plant masters who can meet the requirements. Therefore, the method of cultivating it is directly provided for free in Shennong Valley.

If the method of cultivating the Sunlight Glaze Flower is charged, it will only lead to fewer and fewer spiritual plant masters who want to cultivate the Sunlight Glaze Flower. Ultimately, the number of this spiritual plant will continue to decrease, and it may even become extinct one day in the future.

The extinction of a spiritual plant is definitely a huge loss for a spiritual plant master. Therefore, one of the major responsibilities of Shennong Valley is to save endangered spiritual plants.

Although the Sunlight Glaze Flower has not yet reached the endangered stage, it is already sliding towards the endangered direction due to the difficulty in obtaining the solar power required for its cultivation.

Gu Mo cleared out a small piece of space in the spiritual field and recalled the information about the cultivation of Sunlight Glazed Flower in his mind. After confirming that everything was correct, he started to work.

Planting Sunflower is actually very simple. Just dig a hole and cover it with soil.

But planting the Sunlight Glass Flower and keeping it alive are two different things. Planting it is easy, but to keep it alive it needs the power of the sun, which is the biggest difficulty in cultivating the Sunlight Glass Flower.

Fortunately, this biggest difficulty is the easiest point for Gu Mo.

After planting the Sunlight Glass Flower, Gu Mo took out a portion of level 3 Sun Essence, and then brought the Sun Essence close to the Sunlight Glass Flower.

Under the shining of the sun's essence, the glass-like Sunlight Glass Flower was also reflected in gold. No, it was not reflected in gold, but the Sunlight Glass Flower absorbed the sun's essence, making the whole flower turn golden.

After absorbing the essence of the sun, Gu Mo immediately felt the vitality beginning to flourish in the Sunlight Glass Flower. It was obvious that the effect of the sun's essence far exceeded the power of the sun.

This made the Sunlight Glaze start to enter the growth state directly. Seeing this, Gu Mo used his plant perception to see the vein diagram of the Sunlight Glaze Flower. As a tier 3 spiritual plant, the vein diagram of the Sunlight Glaze Flower was very complicated, but it was far worse than that of Master Xiaohua.

Both of them were at level 3, but this Sunlight Glazed Flower and Master Xiaohua were creatures from two completely different worlds. Not to mention the transformation, this Sunlight Glazed Flower didn't even have a spirit.

After observing the vein diagram of the Sunlight Glass Flower, Gu Mo began to use accelerated growth to help the Sunlight Glass Flower absorb the essence of the sun and aid its growth.

The sun's essence combined with Gu Mo's accelerated growth made the Sunlight Glass Flower grow at a rapid speed. It is no exaggeration to say that in this state, one minute is almost equal to one year of natural growth for the Sunlight Glass Flower.

The main reason for such an exaggerated growth rate is the solar essence which is purer than the power of the sun. Moreover, the solar essence that Gu Mo gave is the third-grade top-grade solar essence.

Therefore, an hour later, the Sunlight Glass Flower in front of Gu Mo had completed a cycle of blooming and fruiting.

Afterwards, Gu Mo harvested more than ten soybean-sized glass beads. These were the seeds of the Sunlight Glass Flower, and each seed contained a trace of the essence of the sun.

In order to obtain these dozen seeds, Gu Mo consumed a total of hundreds of solar essences. The accelerated growth of spiritual plants requires a price.

Some require payment for the potential of spiritual plants, while others require payment for some rare treasures. Gu Mo obviously chose the latter.

Therefore, although the growth of this Sunlight Glass was accelerated, it did not affect its basic potential. On the contrary, because it absorbed a large amount of solar essence, it showed signs of a breakthrough.

This made Gu Mo happy. This Sunlight Glazed Flower had great potential. When he obtained a 4th-level sunflower in the future, he would try to upgrade this Sunlight Glazed Flower to 4th-level as well. Then he could continue to use it to cover up.

As for now, Gu Mo returned to the leaf courtyard with more than ten seeds of Sunlight Glazed Flowers.

He planned to plant these seeds in his own yard. After all, Gu Mo planted the Sunlight Glass Flower for outsiders to see. Only in this way could he conceal the existence of the sunflower.

Time passed quickly as Gu Mo farmed and practiced, and three years passed in the blink of an eye.

Three years is not a short time for ordinary people, but for Gu Mo, who has reached the Golden Core Realm and practiced the Taiyi Qingmu Sutra, three years is just a blink of an eye.

Although three years is a short period of time, Gu Mo has reaped a lot. For example, the dozen or so Sunlight Glazed Flower seeds that he planted three years ago have now grown. Those glazed flowers look dazzling under the sunlight.

Now Gu Mo can harvest some solar power from these dozen or so Sunlight Glazed Flowers every three days. Gu Mo has also tried to purify the solar power and finally obtained the essence of the sun.

However, Gu Mo felt that this solar essence was still not as pure as the solar essence condensed from sunflowers, but it was enough to deceive people.

In addition, the sunflowers planted in the spiritual field have been upgraded a lot by Gu Mo in the past three years. At this moment, the number of Gu Mo's level 3 sunflowers has reached 300, of which 3 are level 100 top-quality ones.

This is already the limit of what Gu Mena’s 5 mu level 3 spiritual field can bear. If he wants to continue to increase the number of sunflowers, or upgrade more high-level sunflowers, he must either increase the size of the spiritual field or improve the grade of the spiritual field.

Gu Mo plans to choose the second option, which is to upgrade the quality of the spiritual field. As long as the sect contributes enough, Gu Mo can ask the sect to upgrade the quality of his spiritual field.

This can only be done in the area covered by the 5th-level ancient tree. As long as the ancient tree transfers more spiritual power through its roots to the spiritual field where Gu Mo is, the grade of the spiritual field can be directly improved.

But Gu Mo is not planning to upgrade now. Upgrading the 3rd-grade lower-level spiritual field to the 3rd-grade middle-level or 3rd-grade upper-level spiritual field will not actually bring a qualitative improvement to Gu Mo.

Gu Mo now only wants to continue to accumulate contributions to the sect, and then directly upgrade the spiritual field to the 4th level. Only the 4th level spiritual field can bring a qualitative improvement to Gu Mo.

The solar essence provided by these level 3 sunflowers in the spiritual field every day is barely enough to slowly upgrade other plants.

In Shennong Valley, combat plants are not used for the time being, but Gu Mo will not stop upgrading combat plants. The upgrade progress can only be slightly slowed down.

In the past three years, Gu Mo would occasionally go to the vending machine to open a blind box. Although most of them were repeated, he also drew new plants during this period.

Name: Tombstone Moss. Grade: 1st grade, low quality.

Effect: Can break the restrictions of formations.

Planting conditions: None.

The new plant that Gu Mo drew this time was a moss. After obtaining the moss, Gu Mo naturally conducted detailed experiments on it and then came to a conclusion. This introduction was concise but clear.

The effect of this tombstone moss is to break the formation. By planting the moss on the light curtain formed by the formation, it can directly erode a big hole in the light curtain of the formation.

In addition, some special restrictions can also be eroded and broken by tombstone moss.

The only drawback of this tombstone moss is that it is a little slow to break. After all, it takes some time for the tombstone moss to grow on the formation restriction. But because the breaking process is completed silently, except that it is not suitable for use in combat, it has almost no other disadvantages.

With this tombstone moss, it can be said that it has become impossible to trap Gu Mo with formation restrictions.

Unless the enemy uses a higher-level formation, such as a 4th-level mid-to-high-quality formation, the 4th-level low-quality formation is ineffective against Gu Mo, who has 3rd-level top-quality tombstone moss. As long as the number is large enough, the 3rd-level top-quality tombstone moss can completely break the 4th-level low-quality formation.

A 4th-order low-grade formation. Many ordinary Nascent Soul sect mountain protection formations are about this level. This means that Gu Mo can use the tombstone moss to quietly break through the mountain protection formation and sneak in.

Of course, as long as no one provokes him, Gu Mo will not sneak into other people's sects, but if there are some blind people, that's another matter.

For example, in the Qinghe cultivation world, his enemy, the Fenghua Sect, when he became a Nascent Soul, Gu Mo used the tombstone moss to directly break through the opponent's mountain protection formation and sneak in, secretly giving the opponent a heavy blow.

In addition to fighting and killing, another important use of this tombstone moss is to explore ruins and secret realms. Those places are filled with various formations and restrictions, and one can die if one is not careful.

But if there is tombstone moss, you can directly break the restrictions in the ruins and secret realms and easily obtain the treasures therein.

For this reason, a lot of the solar essence that Gu Mo harvested in the past three years was used to upgrade tombstone moss. Stocking up more of this stuff will definitely come in handy at critical moments.

Not only tombstone moss, but also potato mines and cherry bombs, Gu Mo has stockpiles of these. First, upgrade these plants to the third-level top-quality plants. After Gu Mo obtains the fourth-level spiritual field and the fourth-level sunflowers, these third-level top-quality plants can be quickly upgraded to the fourth level.

Allow Gu Mo to have level 4 combat power in a short period of time.

Even if he didn't get a 4th-tier spiritual field, in an emergency, Gu Mo could use up a large amount of 3rd-tier solar essence to force an upgrade, giving himself a 4th-tier life-saving trump card.

But there is no need for this now, because Gu Mo already has a life-saving jade talisman in his hand, which was given by his great-grandmaster Hou Chunyu as a reward for Gu Mo's successful cultivation of the Sunlight Glazed Flower.

This life-saving jade talisman can allow Gu Mo to escape from the hands of Yuanying Zhenjun. With this life-saving jade talisman, Gu Mo is not in a hurry to prepare a 4th-level plant for himself.

"Xiao Mo, Xiao Mo!"

When Gu Mo was counting the harvest of the past three years, a man and a fish ran in excitedly. They were Xiaohua and Xiaoli. At this moment, Xiaohua was holding a jade bottle in her hand, which contained the power of the sun condensed by the Sunlight Glass Flower.

Ever since Xiaohua saw the Sunlight Glass Flowers planted by Gu Mo, she immediately became unable to walk. Then Xiaohua volunteered to help Gu Mo take care of the Sunlight Glass Flowers, and Gu Mo paid Xiaohua a reward.

Originally, the reward Xiaohua wanted was the solar power condensed by the Sunlight Glazed Flower. This solar power was very attractive to Xiaohua as a spiritual plant. But since Gu Mo gave Xiaohua a portion of solar essence, Xiaohua immediately changed her mind.

It turned into using the collected solar power to exchange with Gu Mo for the solar essence purified by the solar power. As for why the little solar power in her hand could purify more solar essence, the simple-minded Xiaohua didn't think too much about it.

"Master Xiaohua has a good harvest this time." Gu Mo took the jade bottle and praised.

"That……"

Hearing this, Xiaohua's eyes were full of anticipation.

"This time I'll give you two doses of Sun Essence."

Gu Mo smiled and took out two portions of sun essence and gave them to Xiaohua.

"Master, Master! I want one too!"

Seeing this, Xiaoli on the side quickly spoke up, saying that she also contributed to the care of the Sunlight Glaze Flower.

"Indispensable for you."

Gu Mo took out two more portions of sun essence and stuffed them into Xiaoli's mouth.

This bit of solar power was exchanged for 4 portions of solar essence. Any normal person would definitely be able to see the problem. However, the two in front of him obviously didn't consider these things, so Gu Mo didn't care.

A few portions of sun essence are nothing to Gu Mo now.

However, after Master Xiaohua refined the essence of the sun, Gu Mo could already see some changes in Master Xiaohua. This made Gu Mo look forward to when Master Xiaohua could become a 4th-level demon king.

Of course, Gu Mo also looks forward to Xiaoli, who has awakened the blood of a true dragon, becoming a demon king. By then, Xiaoli should be able to transform.

After getting the reward, the man and the fish ran to the next room excitedly to taste it. As for Gu Mo, he got up and went to the courtyard and opened the gate, because the master, Hou Chunyu, had arrived.

"Disciple, do you want to participate in the spiritual plant exhibition held by the sect?" Hou Chunyu said straight to the point.

"nature!"

Gu Mo nodded.

Shennong Valley holds a spiritual plant master competition every ten years, which is a grand event for all spiritual plant masters. However, in order to motivate the disciples, the sect holds a spiritual plant exhibition every three years in Shennong Valley, where all disciples of Shennong Valley can exhibit the spiritual plants they have cultivated.

Afterwards, the elders of the sect will score the spiritual plants on display, and those with the best scores will receive rewards from the sect.
