Chapter 196 Level 4 Torchwood Stump

"What are the conditions?"

Xuan Tianhen asked, the price of refining a higher-level Yaoyang Pill would obviously not be small, and Xuan Tianhen was also prepared for a heavy loss.

However, as long as he can dispel the evil energy in his body, Xuan Tianhen is willing to bear any price.

"Master, my friend is very interested in swordsmanship, and he wants to see the core inheritance of our Dayan Sword Sect." Gu Mo stated the conditions he had come up with after careful consideration.

To refine the 4th-level Yaoyang Pill, the price cannot be too low, but it also cannot be too high. The current Dayan Sword Sect has limited financial resources and cannot afford too many treasures.

Gu Mo naturally didn't want to ask for a huge amount of money at this time, which would make the already poor Dayan Sword Sect even worse off. But if he asked for it for free or at a low price, that wouldn't be very reasonable. Even if they were friends, they weren't enough to help him refine the 4th-level Yaoyang Pill for free.

Therefore, Gu Mo needs to think of a condition that will not have much impact on the existing assets of Dayan Sword Sect, but will be significant enough.

Finally, Gu Mo chose the core inheritance of the Dayan Sword Sect, the Dayan Sword Canon. Choosing this condition will not affect the Dayan Sword Sect, and in the future, the moves of the deity using the Dayan Sword Canon will also be explained.

It can be said that he kills two birds with one stone. However, it depends on whether Xuan Tianhen agrees. After all, this involves the core inheritance of the sect. If Xuan Tianhen refuses, Gu Mo can only find other ways.

"can!"

After a long silence, Xuan Tianhen finally nodded. He knew his own situation best. If he could not dispel the evil energy in his body as soon as possible, his combat effectiveness would be greatly restricted.

If the Demon Sect's spies attack again, he may not be able to take action again.

Gu Mo has now reached the great perfection of his foundation and may form a golden elixir at any time. When the time comes, the spies from the Demon Sect will definitely come again to stop Gu Mo from forming a golden elixir.

With the excuse of the resin spirit liquid, and after a period of sedimentation, Gu Mo can now display his state of great perfection in foundation building without any scruples, while also preparing for the next stage of forming the elixir.

"Then I will reply to that friend right away." Seeing Xuan Tianhen nod, Gu Mo let out a long sigh. After all, this condition was the best.

"it is good!"

Xuan Tianhen nodded, then returned to his cave and began to recuperate in seclusion. As for the sect leader token, Xuan Tianhen did not take it back.

Because Xuan Tianhen discovered that during the time he was away, Gu Mo managed the sect very well, especially the spirit of the sect's core members had undergone earth-shaking changes, which was a state of hope for the sect's future.

As for the reason, thinking of the Yaoyang Pill he had swallowed before, Xuan Tianhen could basically guess that, although the third-grade top-grade Yaoyang Pill could not dissolve the curse of the Nascent Soul Demon Lord in his body, it should be more than enough to dissolve the evil energy in the bodies of those Jindan elders and the foundation-building masters.

At this moment, Xuan Tianhen couldn't help but feel a little curious. Which powerful friend did his disciple meet in Shennong Valley? It couldn't be that Elder Liu Shulan, right?

But then he thought again, it didn't make sense. How could a disciple like him become friends with a Yuanying Zhenjun and refine a 4th-level Yaoyang Pill? Not to mention where the 4th-level sun power came from, the skills required for refining alone would require a 4th-level alchemist.

There is only one 4th-level alchemist in Shennong Valley, and that is Liu Shulan.

"Could it be that Gu Mo?"

Suddenly, Xuan Tianhen thought of a person, Gu Mo from Shennong Valley, who is now quite famous. The sun's power needed for the Yaoyang Pill comes from the Sunlight Glazed Flower cultivated by the other party. In addition, the other party is even more famous among alchemists and weapon refiners. The torch tree stump he cultivated can be regarded as a magic weapon for alchemy and weapon refining. Unfortunately, in order to obtain the torch tree stump, one needs to trade for exotic fire.

The Dayan Sword Sect does not have any strange fire, otherwise, Xuan Tianhen would also like to exchange one for use in the sect’s sword refining hall.

Shennong Valley.

As Xuan Tianhen nodded, Gu Mo began to study the recipe of the 4th-level Yaoyang Pill. For this, Gu Mo directly found Liu Shulan and asked this 4th-level alchemist for help.

"Level 4 Yaoyang Pill? What do you want to do?"

When Liu Shulan heard that Gu Mo wanted to refine the 4th-level Yaoyang Pill, she was a little confused. Without the 4th-level sun power, how could she refine the 4th-level Yaoyang Pill?

"Elder Liu, isn't this a precautionary measure? Once my disciples have cultivated the 4th-order Sunlight Glazed Flower, it will be too late to conduct further research." Gu Mo explained.

"Yes, young people should have such confidence." Liu Shulan nodded. Since Gu Mo could grow the Sunlight Glaze Flower, it might be possible for him to cultivate it to the 4th level.

The 4th-level Yaoyang Pill really has extremely high strategic value. After all, in the battle between good and evil, the Spirit Transformation level rarely takes action. Generally speaking, the highest level is the battle between Yuanying Zhenjun. Since there is a battle, it is inevitable to get hurt.

The most difficult thing in fighting against the Yuanying Demon Lord is the various curses of the opponent, and the ordinary Yaoyang Pill is only level 3, which has no effect on the Yuanying True Lord. This also makes the righteous Yuanying True Lord need to spend a long time to clear the demonic energy in his body after each battle with the Demon Sect.

This greatly affects their own combat effectiveness, making it impossible for the righteous side to gain an advantage in every fight. However, if they can refine the 4th-level Yaoyang Pill, it will help Yuanying Zhenjun quickly resolve the demonic energy erosion in his body.

Allowing the Yuanying Zhenjun of the righteous path to re-enter the battlefield at the fastest speed will have a huge effect on the righteous path suppressing the evil path and consolidating its advantage.

However, the research on the 4th-level pill formula cannot be completed in a short time. Although there is a 3rd-level pill formula as a reference, it is still a very tedious task.

As a tier 3 alchemist, Gu Mo participated in the research of tier 4 pill recipes, which greatly improved his skills in alchemy. Of course, this was also because Liu Shulan did not keep anything to himself and taught him all the knowledge of alchemy.

Gu Mo naturally kept this affection in his heart.

While researching the 4th-level Yaoyang Pill formula, Gu Mo was also preparing to upgrade the 4th-level Torch Stump. Although, Gu Mo could choose to give the 4th-level Sun Essence directly to Liu Shulan and let her refine it after the 4th-level Yaoyang Pill formula was researched.

But the 4th-level solar essence is a little sensitive at present. He can say that the 3rd-level solar essence is purified and condensed by using the power of the sun. As for the 4th-level solar essence, Gu Moke has not yet thought of an excuse. Only when he cultivates the Sunlight Glazed Flower to the 4th level, will the 4th-level solar essence come out.

Therefore, this 4th-level Yaoyang Pill needs to be refined by Gu Mo himself.

Refining the 4th-level elixir is a bit difficult with Gu Mo's current alchemy skills, and he needs an external plug-in. The 4th-level torch stump is this plug-in.

Just looking at the second sunflower that was almost upgraded to level 4, Gu Mo chose to wait. After all, the pill recipe had not been completed yet and Gu Mo still had time.

Xuan Tianhen's condition is currently relatively stable. As long as Xuan Tianhen does not take any more action, the evil curse in his body can be suppressed.

Cultivate space.

As a portion of level 4 solar essence was invested, the green upgrade arrow was filled. Seeing this, Gu Mo clicked on the upgrade without hesitation.

The next moment, the familiar upgrade light appeared. After a moment, when the light faded, the sunflower in front of him had successfully reached level 4.

"Hmm~huh?"

Gu Mo was thinking about what name to give the 4th level sunflower in front of him, when he suddenly froze, because this 4th level sunflower in front of him did not have any wisdom. The sunflower in front of him was indeed 4th level, no different from the first 4th level sunflower, but this sunflower did not have any wisdom.

"What's happening here?"

Gu Mo transplanted the second 4th-level sunflower into the 4th-level spiritual field, and then asked about the first sunflower that gave birth to wisdom.

"Master, don't say I'm stupid. I'm very smart." The little flower swayed its body. When it heard Gu Mo say that the second sunflower had no intelligence, it couldn't help but droop its two little leaves.

"Xiao Xiaohua, is this you too?" Gu Mo pointed at the second level 4 sunflower and asked.

"Yeah yeah."

The little flower nodded, and its swaying body began to shake rhythmically. Suddenly, the other sunflowers in the spiritual field also shook together.

At this moment, Gu Mo finally understood that only the first sunflower upgraded to level 4 could give birth to wisdom, and subsequent level 4 sunflowers upgraded thereafter would not give birth to wisdom.

The little flower that was born with wisdom can control all other sunflowers and is the well-deserved queen of sunflowers. Of course, the fact that the second level 4 sunflower did not develop wisdom does not affect the condensation of the sun's essence.

"fair enough!"

Gu Mo inexplicably felt a sense of relief, so he didn't have to name every 4th-level sunflower. Xiao Xiaohua could control all the sunflowers, so Gu Mo only needed to give Xiao Xiaohua instructions, and Xiao Xiaohua would be able to complete his orders, which would be much easier than giving orders to all the sunflowers at the same time.

Since this is the case with sunflowers, then other plants should be the same.

With two level 4 sunflowers, the amount of level 4 solar essence that Gu Mo harvested every day doubled, which accelerated the speed of plant upgrades again. This time, Gu Mo chose to upgrade the level 4 torch stump.

"See Master!"

Just as Gu Mo expected, the first 4th level torch tree stump also gained wisdom, and an angry face appeared on the stump. Its voice also seemed to be filled with anger.

Moreover, the angrier the torch stump is, the more vigorous the flame in the stump will be. In addition, after the torch stump is born with intelligence, it also possesses a new ability.

That is, the tree stump can accommodate multiple flames at the same time. Of course, the current 4th-grade inferior torch stump can only accommodate 2 kinds of flames. Later, as the torch stump is upgraded, the number of flames it can accommodate will continue to increase.

After discovering this ability, Gu Mo did not hesitate to put the two kinds of strange fire, Ice Flame and Earth Core Molten Fire, into the 4th-level torch tree stump. After that, the two kinds of strange fire would be upgraded to the 4th level under the nourishment of the 4th-level torch tree stump. With the assistance of two kinds of 4th-level strange fire, Gu Mo has more confidence in refining the 4th-level Yaoyang Pill.

As for the phantom fire, we can only put it in after the torch stump is upgraded.

Gu Mo had just completed the upgrade of the 4th-level Torch Stump, and good news came from Liu Shulan. She had figured out a recipe for the 4th-level Yaoyang Pill.

It’s just that due to the lack of 4th-level solar power, this recipe has not been put into practice.

As for the practical matters, they naturally need to be completed by Gu Mo. As for the auxiliary materials of the 4th-level Yaoyang Pill, they are not too precious. Gu Mo has made a lot of contributions to the sect by refining top-grade Tuomai Pills, ordinary Yaoyang Pills and directly providing the power of the sun for the sect over the years.

For Gu Mo, exchanging materials for refining the 4th-level Yaoyang Pill is a piece of cake.

With all the materials ready, Gu Mo started refining immediately.

With the help of a 4th-level torch tree stump containing two kinds of strange fire, the refining process went very smoothly. Even the 4th-level auxiliary materials were easily refined under the 4th-level strange fire. However, because the pill formula had not been actually tested, there were some minor problems, which led to the failure of the initial refining.

And every time he failed, Gu Mo would sum up his experience and look for the reasons for the failure. Finally, after more than ten attempts, Gu Mo successfully refined a 4th-level Yaoyang Pill.

At this moment, Gu Mo could barely be considered a 4th-level alchemist, a 4th-level alchemist in the Golden Core realm. If this were to be made public, it would definitely shock everyone.

Of course, Gu Mo knew that he was a 4th-level alchemist because of cheats. Without the 4th-level torch tree stump, he would not be able to refine the 4th-level Yaoyang Pill.

At the same time, Gu Mo also realized how much help the intelligent torch stump could bring. As long as Gu Mo gave an order, the torch stump would quickly adjust the flame. Sometimes, Gu Mo didn't even need to say a word, the torch stump had already adjusted the flame size in advance.

Not only that, this 4th-level torch stump can also control other torch stumps.

"Well, from now on you will be called Xiaohuo." Since it is a plant with intelligence, Gu Mo gave the torch stump a name as usual.

"Thank you Master for the name!"

Xiaohuo's usual irritable voice rang out.

The 4th-level Yaoyang Pill has been refined, and the next step is to deliver it to the incarnation. The courier task is naturally to find Xiaohua, who seems very excited about this.

After all, every time she gave Gu Mo something, she would get a delicious reward. Usually, if she wanted something delicious, she could only rely on being cute, except for exchanging it with the power of the sun.

As the uncle's teacher, she kept acting cute which undermined his authority. Although her palm-sized cute appearance had long since eliminated his authority.

Dayan Sword Sect.

Xuan Tianhen, who was recuperating in seclusion, suddenly opened his eyes, and then his figure quickly disappeared, because Xuan Tianhen sensed the breath of a 4th-level demon king appearing in the sect.

During this period, the sect's formation did not react at all. How could Xuan Tianhen not be alert? In his current state, he could not deal with a 4th-level demon king.

"Little flower?"

When Xuan Tianhen arrived at the place where the demon king was, he saw a little loli the size of a palm, staring at Gu Mo's incarnation.

Xuan Tianhen naturally knew about Xiaohua. Even if he didn't know it before, he knew it after Xiaohua became a 4th-level demon king.

This is also the only one who has been promoted to level 4 in Shennong Valley in the past few hundred years.

"Come on, did you bring the stuff?"

Xiaohua, who didn't see anything from Gu Mo's incarnation, saw Xuan Tianhen appear and then floated over. Although he had no wings, as a 4th-level demon king, flying in the sky was as easy for Xiaohua as eating and drinking.

"what?"

Xuan Tianhen was stunned by Xiaohua's nonsensical words.
