Plants vs. Cultivation.

Chapter 186 Sword Heart Bamboo

Gu Mo practiced the Taiyi Qingmu Sutra for a long time, and the murderous intent in his eyes gradually disappeared. This time, following Xuan Tianhen in a killing spree not only allowed Gu Mo to condense a strong murderous intent, providing an important foundation for comprehending the sword intent of killing, but also greatly improved Gu Mo's practical experience.

For me, who has been staying at home all the time, such experience is extremely valuable.

After all, Gu Mo was facing some extremely vicious spies of the demonic sect. These people's combat experience and methods were far beyond the reach of the sect's disciples. They used all kinds of insidious tricks, and even Gu Mo suffered some losses at the beginning.

Fortunately, with Xuan Tianhen, the Nascent Soul Sword Lord, in charge, even if any unexpected situation occurs, Xuan Tianhen can provide a backup for Gu Mo, allowing Gu Mo to successfully pass the initial adaptation stage.

Now, Xuan Tianhen, who has killed so many people, has brought Gu Mo back to Dayan Sword Sect. Next, Gu Mo will leave part of his mind on the incarnation and begin to comprehend the sword intent of killing.

As for me, I am preparing to attend the spiritual plant exhibition.

Gu Mo still attaches great importance to this exhibition, mainly because he can get sect contributions from this exhibition, and Gu Mo also needs to make the Sunlight Glass Flower appear, so that he doesn't have to be so cautious when using the essence of the sun.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Gu Mo dug up a Sunlight Glazed Flower under the distressed gaze of Master Xiaohua, and then told Xiaohua and Xiaoli to look after the house while he used the Wood Element Technique to escape.

The next moment, Gu Mo's figure appeared on a platform under the ancient tree. At this moment, there were exhibition stands on the platform, and each stand had a spiritual plant.

The disciples of Shennong Valley gathered around the booths, discussing a lot. Some of the booths were crowded, while others were sparsely populated.

Gu Mo looked around and soon found his own booth. The spiritual plant exhibition master Hou Chunyu had registered for Gu Mo long ago.

After successfully registering, Gu Mo got a booth of his own. Then all he had to do was put the spiritual plants into the booth.

Arriving at his own booth, Gu Mo took out the jade talisman and opened the restrictions on the booth. There were restrictions on all booths to prevent anyone from secretly destroying the spiritual plants in the booth.

This kind of thing has actually happened. It is said that a long time ago, there were no restrictions on the booths of the spiritual plant exhibition in Shennong Valley, so that the audience could better observe the state of the spiritual plants.

However, some disciples secretly attacked their competitor's spiritual plants, causing problems with their opponent's spiritual plants and resulting in their failure to get high scores. When this matter was exposed, it caused a great shock.

Finally, restrictions were added to the booths of the spiritual plant exhibition, so it can be said that there are traces behind every rule of the sect.

Of course, when the elders of the sect come to give scores to the spiritual plants, they can remove the restrictions on the exhibition stand and observe the spiritual plants cultivated by the disciples in detail in order to give more accurate scores.

Gu Mo put the Sunlight Glass Flower that he had just dug out from the courtyard on the exhibition stand. After leaving the information about the Sunlight Glass Flower, he excitedly went to see the spiritual plants cultivated by others.

The spiritual plant exhibition of Shennong Valley, a top spiritual plant master sect, is definitely worth seeing. Soon, Gu Mo saw a very familiar spiritual plant, the sword bamboo, at a booth.

In the Qinghe Immortal Cultivation World, Gu Mo once obtained a top-grade magical flying sword of the wood element. This flying sword was made of rank 3 sword bamboo. At that time, Gu Mo guessed that the flying sword should have been made by a master spiritual plant master in Shennong Valley.

Now Gu Mo has finally found this master.

Because, the sword bamboo in the booth at this moment was actually the third-level sword bamboo, "No, that's not right. This is not a sword bamboo!" Gu Mo carefully observed the sword bamboo in the booth and found that this sword bamboo was somewhat different from the sword bamboo he knew.

"Level 3 Sword Heart Bamboo!"

Gu Mo glanced at the sign on the booth, ready to see if it was sword bamboo. Every booth had a sign introducing and displaying basic information about the spiritual plant.

Afterwards, Gu Mo was surprised to find that the sign on the booth did not say "Sword Bamboo" but "Sword Heart Bamboo".

"Sword Heart Bamboo?"

Gu Mo frowned slightly. He had never heard of this kind of spiritual plant. Could it be that the other party had newly cultivated it? Cultivating a new spiritual plant was not an easy task.

Even if a spiritual plant master is lucky enough to cultivate a new spiritual plant, most of the new spiritual plants are useless, and there are very few truly useful new spiritual plants.

But the sword heart bamboo in front of him actually exuded a faint sword energy. Gu Mo had a sword cultivator incarnation, so what the incarnation could do, the original body could naturally do as well. Therefore, Gu Mo would definitely not be wrong in sensing the sword energy.

Spiritual plants that naturally contain sword power are simply the perfect material for refining flying swords. Ding Shiyan and Gu Mo glanced at the sign on the booth, which had the name of the spiritual plant master on it.

This is a senior sister, I don't know where she is now. Most spiritual plant masters will stay by the booth and introduce their spiritual plants to fellow disciples who come to visit.

But there are also cases like Gu Mo, who disappeared after releasing the spiritual plant.

Gu Mo booth.

A woman in green clothes and carrying a long sword was staring at the Sunlight Glazed Flower in Gu Mo's booth in a daze, "Who is this Gu Mo? How could he cultivate the Sunlight Glazed Flower? If I can get the sun power of this Sunlight Glazed Flower, then can the Sword Heart Bamboo I cultivate be improved to a higher level?"

“Senior Sister Ding, the Sword Heart Bamboo you cultivated is truly amazing. After this exhibition, those sword cultivators will definitely go crazy to buy it.” A young girl came to the side of the woman in green and said excitedly.

Although the spiritual plant exhibition of Shennong Valley is only an exhibition within the Shennong Valley sect, after each exhibition, the spiritual plants that appear in the exhibition will be compiled into a book and circulated.

If a monk from a sect sees a spiritual plant that he likes, he will come to Shennong Valley to negotiate the purchase. At that time, the disciple who cultivates the new spiritual plant will receive a very generous reward.

Alchemists make profits by refining and selling elixirs, weapon refiners make money by making and repairing magical weapons for cultivators, and spiritual plant masters, who also cultivate the hundred arts of immortality, make money by cultivating and selling spiritual plants.

Every year, a large number of mature spiritual medicines are purchased by major sects in Shennong Valley. Among them, Taiqing Sect, Yinyang Sword Sect and several sects that are good at alchemy are the largest customers of Shennong Valley.

Shennong Valley can earn a large amount of spirit stones just by selling spiritual medicines.

Of course, in addition to large quantities of ordinary spiritual medicines, some special spiritual plants will also be purchased by cultivators. These special spiritual plants are just like the special pills made by alchemists, and they are all high value-added products.

For example, Jian Xinzhu, it is obvious that his target customers are sword practitioners.

"That Sword Heart Bamboo is not perfect yet." The woman in green shook her head. The Sword Heart Bamboo she cultivated still had defects and was not a qualified product that could be sold.

However, at this moment, she seemed to have found a way to make up for the defects of Jianxin Bamboo. The woman in green stared at the Sunlight Glass Flower in Gu Mo's booth, unable to take her eyes away.

"It's worthy of being a top-level spiritual plant master sect. At a spiritual plant exhibition within the sect, we can see so many new and interesting things." Gu Mo's eyes swept across the booths, and he never stopped exclaiming in amazement.

In addition to the Sword Heart Bamboo he had seen before, Gu Mo also saw a big tree. This was not an ordinary big tree, but an ancient war tree.

The ancient war tree is considered to be a classic attacking spiritual plant of Shennong Valley. This type of spiritual plant has always been the focus of transformation and cultivation of Shennong Valley disciples.

After all, as long as they could cultivate a variant of the ancient war tree, the sect would directly purchase it in large quantities, and they would definitely become rich instantly.

At this moment, the ancient war tree that appeared in the spiritual plant exhibition was a new branch. The spiritual plant master who cultivated it called it the Roaring Ancient Tree. Compared with the classic ancient war tree that threw boulders, this Roaring Ancient Tree could release sonic attacks to kill enemies in a wide range.

“Senior Brother Yan, I never thought that your Roaring Ancient Tree would actually succeed. You must be the first in this spiritual plant exhibition.” Beside the Roaring Ancient Tree, a group of people were surrounding a young man, and all kinds of compliments were being uttered.

Sword Heart Bamboo and Roaring Ancient Tree. After just a moment, Gu Mo saw two strong competitors. They were indeed a top-level spiritual plant master sect.

Continuing to the next booth, Gu Mo also saw many strange and bizarre spiritual plants.

Although some spiritual plants have no other uses except for being strange, it still opened Gu Mo's eyes. Of course, the largest number of spiritual plants in the booth are those that break the limit.

The so-called limit-breaking spiritual plant is a kind of spiritual plant whose upper limit is level 1, but a spiritual plant master has carefully cultivated it and made it advance to level 2. This is a limit-breaking spiritual plant.

This is the most challenging demonstration of the spiritual plant master's skills. After all, not everyone can create a new and useful spiritual plant.

The highest point of the ancient tree.

Several elders who had nothing to do gathered together to chat, and the topic was the spiritual plant exhibition. At the end of the exhibition, the elders would give scores to the spiritual plants on display.

“Elder Gu, I heard that your disciple has cultivated a new branch of the ancient war tree. He has a good chance of winning first place in this spiritual plant exhibition.” An elder said with a smile.

"The other disciples are quite strong. It's not easy to be the first." Although Elder Gu was being humble in his words, he could hardly suppress the smile on his face.

As a lineage of combat spirit plant masters, the Ancient War Tree is their highest masterpiece, and their lineage has been constantly improving and cultivating new branches of the Ancient War Tree.

The sect also attaches great importance to ancient war trees. As long as new branches of ancient war trees appear, the sect will give out huge rewards.

"Elder Hou, I heard that your disciple also participated in the spiritual plant exhibition this time?" Elder Gu suddenly changed the subject and said to Hou Chunyu.

"That's right!"

Hou Chunyu nodded. They all had the list of disciples who would be participating in the spiritual plant exhibition. They would then give scores to the spiritual plants exhibited by those disciples based on the list.

Hearing Hou Chunyu's words, Liu Shulan's eyes suddenly lit up. After three years, is that little guy Gu Mo finally going to show off the torch tree stump spiritual plant?
Once this spiritual plant appears, even the new branches of the ancient war tree will not be able to suppress it.

"Elder Hou, your disciple wouldn't be taking the elixirs for exhibition, would he?" Elder Gu said with a smile.

As soon as these words were spoken, there were a few chuckles. Several elders recognized Gu Mo's alchemy skills. The top-grade Tuomai Pill had become something that all sects were fighting for. After all, every family has a few disciples with outstanding talents.

If this was an alchemy exhibition, no one would question that Gu Mo won first place, but this time it was a spiritual plant exhibition.

"Hmph, since Elder Gu has some doubts, how about we make a bet?" Hou Chunyu glanced at Elder Gu and said lightly.

"Oh, what's the bet?"

Hearing this, Elder Gu was secretly delighted. As expected, if he provoked Hou Chunyu a little, he would get angry. As an old rival, how could Elder Gu not know Hou Chunyu's character?

This old guy is protective of his people. Whenever he uses his apprentice as an excuse, the other party will basically take the bait.

"Let's bet on which spiritual plant exhibited the highest score in this spiritual plant exhibition." Hou Chunyu looked excited. "As for the bet, how about betting on a wooden kui?"

"You are so bold, then what do you have to bet!" Elder Gu couldn't help but widen his eyes when he heard this.

"How about I offer a 4th-order Mind-Concentrating Flower?" Hou Chunyu took out his own bet. If the Ancient War Tree was the highest masterpiece of the ancient elders' lineage, then the Mind-Concentrating Flower was the highest masterpiece of Hou Chunyu's lineage.

The name of the flower may not seem to imply anything, but if it is said that this flower is the main ingredient for refining elixirs that can break through the Spirit Transformation realm, it is enough to prove its preciousness.

Of course, a 4th-level Concentration Flower is not enough to be the main material for refining the elixir for breakthrough into the spirit. Only a 5th-level Concentration Flower can do it. But even a 4th-level one is extremely precious.

"Okay, then I'll take the loss."

Between Mu Kui and the 4th-order Ningshen Flower, Mu Kui is more valuable. But facing this sure-win situation, Elder Gu doesn't care about these things.

As the bet was reached, smiles appeared on the corners of the two men's mouths. Elder Gu knew Hou Chunyu, and Hou Chunyu also knew this old rival. He deliberately lured Elder Gu into a trap.

Once the other party finds out that Gu Mo has displayed the spiritual plant, he will probably regret it.

"Junior Sister Liu, what's wrong?"

A 4th-level Mind-Concentrating Flower was about to be obtained. Elder Gu, who was in a good mood, glanced at Liu Shulan's strange expression and asked with some confusion.

"It's okay. It's almost time. We should go and score those little guys." Liu Shulan sighed. Senior Brother Gu had fallen headfirst into the trap set by Senior Brother Hou.

"That's right, don't keep those disciples waiting for too long." Although Junior Sister Liu looked a little strange, Elder Gu didn't think much about it. How could it lose when it came to the new branch of the ancient war tree and such a spiritual plant?

"Satisfied!"

After touring the entire spiritual plant exhibition, Gu Mo returned to his booth with satisfaction, waiting for the elders to rate his Sunlight Glazed Flower.

The Spiritual Plant Exhibition held every three years can yield such a harvest. If it is a Spiritual Plant Master Competition held every ten years, how grand will it be? Not only Shennong Valley, but also Spiritual Plant Masters from other sects will come to participate.

"Ok?"

When Gu Mo arrived at his booth, he was surprised to find that his booth was surrounded by people.

"Sunlight Glazed Flower, damn, which boss cultivated this?"

"Boss, are you here? I want to buy some solar power."

"Same request!"

"Same request!"
