Plants vs. Cultivation.

Chapter 20: Improvement of the Quality of Sun Essence
Gu Mo originally thought that it would take at least three to five days for the seeds to germinate after being planted, but the actual situation was that within one day, the seeds planted in the spiritual field began to break through the soil and sprout.

This result surprised Gu Mo very much, but he soon figured out the reason, because his estimate of three to five days for germination was calculated based on a first-grade low-quality spiritual field. In reality, Gu Mo's spiritual field was a first-grade medium-quality one. The higher the grade of the spiritual field, the greater the impact on the growth of spiritual plants.

In addition, careful management of spiritual fields can also accelerate the growth of spiritual plants, and the best management of spiritual fields is the five spells exclusive to spiritual farmers. These are five spells that have been practiced by countless generations of spiritual farmers and are clearly beneficial to the growth of spiritual plants.

"So, it doesn't take half a year, but only five months for the Lingyu Rice to mature." Gu Mo used the first-grade medium-quality spiritual field and the spiritual farming spells he mastered as the standard template, and finally came to the conclusion that the Lingyu Rice could mature one month earlier.

A harvest every five months is obviously of great benefit to relieving Gu Mo's financial pressure. In addition, Gu Mo will be rent-free for three years, and all the harvests from the spiritual fields in these three years will belong to him. Thinking of this, Gu Mo's heart was full of energy.

In the following time, Gu Mo managed the spiritual fields while practicing and comprehending other spiritual farming spells. Gu Mo's goal was to master all five spiritual farming spells.

As for cultivation, Gu Mo obviously will not start in a short period of time. He needs to plant the spiritual sunflowers in the spiritual field first, and then he can plant the sunflowers so that the sunflowers can continuously condense the essence of the sun.

Gu Mo would not use these solar essences for cultivation, but would save them and use them to buy a second sunflower from the vending machine in the black fog space.

Once he has collected 5 sunflowers, Gu Mo will be able to achieve a cultivation speed comparable to that of top-grade spiritual roots. Therefore, delaying his cultivation progress a little now is not a big deal at all.

"Junior Brother Gu Mo! There is a letter for you."

One day, Gu Mo was inspecting the spiritual fields when a errand disciple from the Spiritual Planting Hall ran over and handed him a letter.

"Thank you!"

Gu Mo took the letter. In Qinglu Sect, there was no one else who could write to him except Yao Shifeng and a few others. Sure enough, the letter was sent by Yao Shifeng.

The peaks of Qinglu Sect are far apart from each other, and ordinary paper pigeons cannot cover them. More advanced communication talismans are too expensive for many newly-initiated menial disciples, so primitive means of communication such as writing letters has become the most economical way.

And this method is not slow, because some menial disciples who hold magic swords will work part-time as messengers to earn some extra money. With the speed of magic swords, they can reach all the peaks of the sect within a day.

"The party has been postponed."

Gu Mo opened the letter and nodded slightly. The content of Yao Shifeng's letter roughly said that the time for the five people to reunite would be postponed, because they had just joined the various peaks and everyone had endless tasks to do, so they really had no time to spare.

Moreover, the five of them were on different peaks, and without a flying magic weapon like the magic sword, they would be delayed for a long time on the road.

Gu Mo glanced at the spiritual field. It was indeed not suitable to waste time gathering together. The spiritual field required him to cast the Small Cloud and Rain Technique to irrigate it every day. Unless Gu Mo could go back and forth on the same day, he would be late in casting the spell on the spiritual field.

As time went by, Gu Mo took care of the spiritual field day after day, and the spiritual plants in the spiritual field also responded to Gu Mo's hard work and grew very well. The most important thing was that after three months of growth, the hundreds of spiritual sunflowers finally bloomed golden flower disks, but this was just the beginning. Next, the spiritual sunflowers needed to go through a long period of precipitation to allow the spiritual sunflower seeds in the flower disks to mature.

But for Gu Mo, none of this matters. With the cover of these hundreds of spiritual sunflowers, he can finally plant sunflowers.

On the second day after the sunflower was planted, it was already the same size as the surrounding lingkui. The two were very similar in appearance. The only difference was in the flower disk. The flower disk of the lingkui was like a sunflower, while the flower disk of the sunflower was like a small sun.

The sunflowers are mixed in with hundreds of sunflowers, and it is difficult to notice the difference if you are not careful.

At sunset the next day, Gu Mo finally harvested another portion of sun essence. Moreover, this sun essence looked more solid than the one planted in the flowerpot before.

This change continued in the following days. The illusory little sun formed by the essence of the sun would become more solid every day until it reached a certain limit and then stopped.

This change of the sunflower made Gu Mo very curious. In order to find out the reason, Gu Mo tried to refine a portion of sun essence. Then, he was surprised to find that this portion of sun essence could equal his three days of hard training.

The solar essence he had previously accumulated was equivalent to two days of hard training. But at this moment, the solar essence condensed from the same sunflower had reached the level of three days of hard training.

Both of these sun essences come from the same sunflower. The only difference is that the former sunflower is planted in a flowerpot, while the latter is planted in a spiritual field, and it is a medium-quality first-grade spiritual field.

It is obvious that the change in the sun's essence should come from the spiritual field. The spiritual energy contained in the spiritual field is obviously stronger than the flowerpot made by Gu Mo using three low-grade spirit stones. Therefore, the sun's essence condensed by the sunflower has also been improved.

I just don't know if the degree of refinement of the sun's essence will continue to increase if it is planted in a higher-grade spiritual field.

He temporarily suppressed the idea of ​​looking for a higher-grade spiritual field. For Gu Mo now, being able to obtain this 1st-grade intermediate spiritual field was enough to make many menial disciples jealous. As for the 1st-grade upper-grade spiritual field, it was simply not something that Gu Mo could get his hands on now.

The quality of the solar essence condensed by sunflowers has been improved, which means that Gu Mo only needs to collect 3 sunflowers to harvest three portions of such solar essence every day, with a cultivation speed of 9 times, which is still the cultivation speed of high-quality spiritual roots.

In addition, this new solar essence is more effective in dispelling the black fog in the black fog space. The only pity is that the vending machine still judges this three times amount of solar essence as one portion, the same as the two times solar essence that Gu Mo had accumulated before.

"In less than a month, I will be able to collect 50 portions of solar essence." Gu Mo counted the solar essence in his hand. He only needed to wait for another 20 days to collect 50 portions of solar essence and buy the second sunflower.

Two sunflowers provide two portions of sun essence every day. He only needs to wait another 2 days to buy the third sunflower. By then, Gu Mo will have the cultivation speed comparable to that of a genius with top-grade spiritual roots.

If I can be patient and gather 5 plants as originally planned, my cultivation speed will be 15 times faster. This speed has already surpassed the limit of top-grade spiritual roots. I just don't know how the cultivation speed that exceeds the limit of top-grade spiritual roots is classified in the world of immortal cultivation.
