Plants vs. Cultivation.

Chapter 187 Evaluation
"Ah this!"

Gu Mo was a little confused as he looked at the scene in front of him. When he was preparing to exhibit the Sunlight Glass Flower, he had anticipated that the appearance of the Sunlight Glass Flower would attract a lot of attention, but now it seems that Gu Mo still underestimated the impact of the Sunlight Glass Flower.

To be precise, the power of the sun is underestimated and its appeal to spiritual plant masters. Except for a small number of spiritual plants that prefer shade, most spiritual plants cannot grow without sunlight.

The power of the sun is condensed sunlight. This power has a tremendous effect on promoting the growth of spiritual plants. It can pull back a dying spiritual plant, and can allow two spiritual plants that cannot fuse to resolve obstacles and then fuse smoothly to give birth to a new spiritual plant.

It is no exaggeration to say that the power of the sun is a kind of panacea belonging to spiritual plants. This panacea may not be so attractive to other cultivators.

But those who came to participate in the spiritual plant exhibition at this moment were all spiritual plant masters, so it is easy to imagine the attraction of the power of the sun to them.

"The elder is here!"

Just as Gu Mo was thinking about how to squeeze into the crowd and reach his booth, a voice rang out.

Upon hearing this, everyone quickly dispersed and returned to their own booths, waiting for the elders to come and rate the spiritual plants they exhibited.

The crowd dispersed and Gu Mo arrived at his booth smoothly.

"My senior brother, that Sunlight Glazed Flower was cultivated by you." A junior fellow who was at the foundation-building stage at the booth next to Gu Mo sent a message to Gu Mo eagerly.

"That's right!"

Gu Mo nodded.

"That, that..."

After confirming that Gu Mo was the cultivator of the Sunlight Glazed Flower, the Foundation Establishment Junior Brother rubbed his hands nervously. He wanted to ask to buy some solar power, but thinking of his family background, he was unable to open his mouth.

"You can exchange it with the spiritual plants you cultivate." Gu Mo's eyes swept over the spiritual plants on display by the other party, which were a few rice plants.

From this, Gu Mo could basically judge that this person should be from the rice lineage of Shennong Valley. The spiritual plant masters of this lineage specialized in studying spiritual rice. The widely circulated spiritual jade rice was the masterpiece of the ancestors of this lineage.

The birth of Lingyu Rice allowed many cultivators to eat spiritual rice, greatly promoting the development of the world of immortal cultivation.

"Really? Thank you, Brother!"

Hearing this, the junior brother who was building the foundation was overjoyed, but soon his expression became conflicted again, "To be honest with you, senior brother, my spiritual rice is still a semi-finished product." As he said this, the junior brother who was building the foundation introduced the situation of his spiritual rice to Gu Mo.

"It's okay. Give it to me after you finish cultivating it. I will help you with some solar power." After listening to the other party's introduction, Gu Mo's eyes lit up and he immediately decided to help the other party complete the cultivation of this new spiritual rice. Because if this spiritual rice can be completed, its significance is definitely no less than that of the spiritual jade rice.

Just to complete the cultivation of this spiritual rice will be unprecedentedly difficult. It is true that the idea of ​​this junior brother who is in the foundation-building stage is very grand, and it is completely designed according to the spiritual jade rice. This junior brother who is in the foundation-building stage is estimated to devote his entire life to this.

But if he can complete it, he will become famous in the world of immortal cultivation.

Of course, it is also possible that one will achieve nothing in his entire life. After all, for a spiritual plant master to cultivate a new spiritual plant is equivalent to gambling everything he has.

Therefore, in order to reduce risks and increase success rates, spiritual plant masters will seek investment.

If a cultivator feels that a spiritual plant cultivator's new spiritual plant cultivation has hope of success and that the new spiritual plant market has great potential, he will choose to invest. Once the new spiritual plant cultivation is completed, the previous investment can be earned back dozens or hundreds of times.

"Brother, please rest assured. I will try my best to complete the cultivation of spiritual rice." After receiving Gu Mo's promise of investment, the foundation-building brother's face turned red with excitement.

At the same time, Hou Chunyu and several other elders appeared outside the exhibition area.

"Now start grading those little guys."

Hou Chunyu took the list and came to a booth closest to the entrance. When he saw the elder appear, the disciples next to the booth immediately became nervous.

"Please introduce the spiritual plants you cultivated." Hou Chunyu's tone was gentle, which immediately eased the disciple's tension a little.

"Greetings, elders. The spiritual plant I am exhibiting is a red grass." The disciple pointed at a small black grass on the exhibition stand.

Red grass is a spiritual herb with fire attribute. The grass body is red, but this red grass is black. It was this unusual change that made the disciple discover it and bring it back.

"This has been eroded by evil spirits. Where did you find this red grass?" Hou Chunyu only took a quick glance at the black red grass and figured out its origin.

"what!"

Upon hearing that the mutated red grass he discovered was actually eroded by demonic energy, the disciple was stunned for a moment, but he still told the location where he found the red grass.

"Send someone to investigate. There might be a spy from the Demon Sect over there." Hou Chunyu took out a communication talisman and sent out the location where the disciple in front of him had discovered the demonized red grass.

"If it is confirmed that there are spies from the Demon Sect over there, then this merit will be credited to you." Hou Chunyu turned his gaze to the disciple and spoke.

Hearing this, the disciple's eyes were filled with excitement. Providing clues about the Demon Sect's spies would earn him a great reward.

But before this disciple's excitement had worn off, he was woken up by a poor evaluation. Apparently, the demonized red grass he exhibited was a failing work.

This is not to say that special spiritual plants found in the wild cannot be displayed, but the demonized red grass is too common. The only value of this demonized red grass is to remind the righteous sects that there may be clues about the demon sect at that location, nothing more.

"This can be given a lower grade!"

Hou Chunyu went to the next booth, glanced at a spiritual medicine on the booth, and nodded slightly. This spiritual medicine was originally a low-grade 1st level, but at this moment it had obviously broken the limit and reached the mid-grade 1st level.

The difficulty of breaking the limit for spiritual plants of different grades is naturally different. If this kind of 1st-grade lower-grade spirit plant breaks the limit of a 1st-grade middle-grade spirit plant, people would definitely call it a master outside, but in Shennong Valley it can only be considered as barely passing and given a low evaluation.

There were many people participating in the spiritual plant exhibition, but the evaluation by several elders was also very quick. They were all powerful people at the Nascent Soul True Lord level. With their powerful spiritual sense, they could see the condition of the spiritual plants on the booth at a glance.

The elders would only stop at a few booths, and whenever they stopped, eyes from all around would come over.

All the monks present had sharp eyes and ears. Even if they were far away, they could clearly see what was happening in the distance. Some of the disciples who had been evaluated by the elders were even more courageous and came over. This also led to a large number of people following behind several elders.

The elders did not drive them away, but let the disciples see the strength of their outstanding peers, which would also encourage them to work hard. Soon, the first outstanding peer appeared.

"The elders went to the Jianxin Bamboo booth!" Gu Mo saw several elders stop in front of the Jianxin Bamboo booth, and immediately ran over quickly.

Prepare to listen to the elders' evaluation of the Sword Heart Bamboo.

Gu Mo was very concerned about this Sword Heart Bamboo. His sword cultivation incarnation needed many flying swords to set up the formation to practice the Dayan Sword Canon. The flying swords used to set up the formation would definitely be a considerable expense. However, if he used this Sword Heart Bamboo to refine the flying swords, he could definitely save a lot of money.

Moreover, the more uniform the materials and styles of the flying swords used in the formation, the better the effect. Therefore, Gu Mo planned to buy some Jianxin Bamboo from Senior Sister Ding Shiyan after the exhibition.

However, Gu Mo still felt that the Sword Heart Bamboo was not perfect. As for where exactly it was imperfect, the exhibition stand was blocked by restrictions and Gu Mo was unable to investigate in detail.

Now that the elders have personally evaluated the Sword Heart Bamboo, Gu Mo naturally wants to go over and listen to the elders' evaluation to see if the Sword Heart Bamboo is worth purchasing.

"My rating for this Sword Heart Bamboo is average!"

Hou Chunyu looked at the Sword Heart Bamboo on the exhibition stand and gave a rating that shocked everyone. In the eyes of the disciples, this Sword Heart Bamboo naturally contained sword energy and was absolutely an excellent material for refining flying swords. This spiritual plant would have enormous value in the future, so it was reasonable to give it a top rating.

"Little guy, you should know the shortcomings of your Sword Heart Bamboo." Hou Chunyu glanced at Ding Shiyan, who was an outlier in Shennong Valley and one of the few sword practitioners in the valley.

In addition to being a spiritual plant master, Ding Shiyan also practiced the Green Lotus Sword Canon and became a sword cultivator. The fact that she was able to cultivate the Sword Heart Bamboo that contained the power of a sword was due to her identity as a sword cultivator.

"Please give me some advice, elder!"

Ding Shiyan bowed. She was naturally aware of the shortcomings of her Sword Heart Bamboo, but she had never found a solution. However, she found a solution just now.

But this does not prevent Ding Shiyan from listening to the elders' opinions, which can give her a new idea.

"Using your sword intent to nourish the Sword Heart Bamboo is a good idea, but the sword is a weapon of killing, and the sword intent is also the intent of killing. Although you use the sword intent to nourish the Sword Heart Bamboo, although it allows the sword heart bamboo to contain the sword force, it also damages its foundation."

Hou Chunyu pointed out the shortcomings of the Sword Heart Bamboo, then glanced at Gu Mo in the crowd and said with a smile: "To solve this problem, I think you don't need my guidance, you should have found the solution yourself." The sun power condensed by Gu Mo's Sunlight Glazed Flower is the best way to solve the defects of the Sword Heart Bamboo.

"Thank you for your guidance, Elder!"

Ding Shiyan bowed again. Although she guessed that the Sunlight Glazed Flower could solve the defects of Jianxin Bamboo, Ding Shiyan was not completely sure. Now she had got a positive answer.

Such an affirmative answer is also very important.

"You're talking about my Sunlight Glass Flower."

Gu Mo felt the gaze of his master and immediately understood that the solution to the shortcomings of Sword Heart Bamboo was actually his Sunlight Glazed Flower. Isn't this a coincidence?

At that time, he would use the power of the sun to exchange for the Sword Heart Bamboo. However, Gu Mo was a little worried that the production capacity of the power of the sun would not be able to keep up.

At that time, Gu Mo would probably have to study how to downgrade the solar essence into solar power, or directly trade with the solar essence. The specific situation would depend on the trust between the two parties.

Afterwards, several elders quickened their pace again. Although they paused during the period, they only stopped for a short while. In the spiritual plant exhibition held every three years, the appearance of a spiritual plant like the Sword Heart Bamboo was actually a very good achievement.

After all, the cultivation of spiritual plants sometimes takes ten or even dozens of years. Therefore, unless it is a coincidence that several talented spiritual plant masters in Shennong Valley have achieved results in the same year and participate in a spiritual plant exhibition together, there will be many spiritual plants that amaze everyone at one spiritual plant exhibition.

Unfortunately, this year's spiritual plant exhibition is just such a spiritual plant exhibition that happened by chance.

Because, in addition to the Sword Heart Bamboo, this spiritual plant exhibition also has stunning spiritual plants such as the Roaring Ancient Tree and the Sunlight Glass Flower.

"Okay, you are Hou Chunyu, you actually tricked me."

At this moment, Elder Gu also discovered the Sunlight Glass Flower on Gu Mo's booth. Thinking of the bet that Hou Chunyu had made with him before, Elder Gu felt so angry that his teeth were itching.

However, even if it was the Sunlight Glazed Flower, the Roaring Ancient Tree cultivated by his disciples would not necessarily lose. After all, the scoring of a spiritual plant is based on many aspects.

In addition to Elder Gu, who was furious because he was deceived, Liu Shulan was also a little confused after learning that Gu Mo was exhibiting the Sunlight Glass Flower. Wasn't it the torch tree stump?
"The idea of ​​cultivating this spiritual rice is good. If we can continue, it will have great potential." Hou Chunyu came to the booth next to Gu Mo, glanced at the spiritual rice displayed by the foundation-building disciple, and gave it a medium evaluation.

As soon as this evaluation came out, it immediately attracted exclamations from the crowd. The Sword Heart Bamboo was only rated medium, and this spiritual rice, which looked like a semi-finished product, actually had the same evaluation as the Sword Heart Bamboo.

"The value of a spiritual plant depends not only on its rarity and grade, but also on its popularity." Elder Gu's voice sounded, answering everyone's questions.

The rarity and grade of Sword Heart Bamboo are both higher than this semi-finished spiritual rice, but this Sword Heart Bamboo is obviously not popular, and its target is only limited to sword cultivators.

But if this semi-finished spiritual rice is completed and rolled out on a large scale, it will definitely bring about a small change in the world of immortal cultivation, especially in physical cultivation.

The spiritual rice cultivated by this junior fellow who received investment from Gu Mo is intended to improve the physical fitness of cultivators. Once the cultivation of this spiritual rice is completed, it will be promoted on a large scale.

In the world of immortal cultivation, there will definitely be many more physical cultivators, and the requirements for spiritual roots for physical cultivation are not high, which can allow many people with insufficient talent to embark on the path of cultivation.

This is definitely a brand new spiritual rice that is no less than the Lingyu Rice. In the future, a complete physical cultivation sect may appear in the world of immortal cultivation.

Unfortunately, this spiritual rice is only a semi-finished product now. It is extremely difficult to make it truly successful. Otherwise, there would not be only one kind of spiritual jade rice in the world.

But even so, several elders still gave this semi-finished spiritual rice a medium rating.

This is an affirmation of the potential of this spiritual rice, and also an encouragement to the disciples who are building their foundation. The spiritual plants exhibited by the disciples at the spiritual plant exhibition received different evaluations, and all of them can get rewards from the sect.

A medium evaluation is enough for this foundation-building disciple to obtain a considerable amount of resources, allowing him to continue his research on this spiritual rice.

If he can make new progress in the cultivation of spiritual rice in the future and participate in the spiritual plant exhibition again, he will still be able to get good evaluations and continue to receive rewards from the sect.

Until the disciple succeeds or fails and gives up.

After finishing the scoring of the spiritual rice, there were only two booths of spiritual plants that had not yet been scored, and these were the ones that the elders had intentionally left for last. After all, this also involved the bet between the two elders. At the same time, these two booths were also the highlights of this spiritual plant exhibition.
