Plants vs. Cultivation.

Chapter 26 Koi
Using the magic power in his sleeve, Gu Mo threw the red koi and the basin into the black fog space. He did not stay any longer and left the market directly. He did not have many spirit stones on him, and he needed to keep some to activate the formation plate, so he could not spend them all.

After leaving the market town, the no-fly restriction disappeared. Gu Mo immediately took out the paper crane he had just bought and injected his spiritual power into it. The paper crane turned into a white crane as tall as a person.

Leaping onto the paper crane, Gu Mo activated his spiritual power, and the paper crane flapped its wings and flew up. Although its speed was not as fast as the magic sword, which was like a high-speed train, it was at least at the level of an electric car.

"It's really different with a means of transportation." Sitting on the paper crane, Gu Mo soon saw the valley where the Lingzhi Hall was located.

Gu Mo came to Lingzhi Church to receive rice seeds for the next season. As for why he did not keep the rice seeds for himself, in addition to the fact that Gu Mo had 3 years of free seeds to receive, the most important thing was that the rice seeds of Lingzhi Church were specially cultivated, and only the rice seeds provided by Lingzhi Church could achieve the most ideal yield.

If you keep the rice seeds yourself, the yield may be reduced and the growth rate will be slower.

For the second season of spiritual field planting, Gu Mo still chose Lingyu Rice. After all, he had the experience once, so he was confident that he could grow a higher yield this time. There were also 5 spells exclusive to spiritual farmers. The only spell Gu Mo had not yet mastered was the Minor Rejuvenation Technique. He planned to try higher-level spiritual plants after he had mastered it.

Planting high-level spiritual plants can greatly increase the speed at which Gu Mo obtains contributions from the sect, allowing him to collect the contributions required to exchange for the Hidden Qi Art in advance.

However, the higher the level of spiritual plants, the more difficult it is to grow. If one is not careful and fails in planting, an entire season’s time and all the efforts made during that time will be wasted.

Therefore, Gu Mo did not dare to try it easily, and planned to try it again after he mastered all the spiritual farming techniques.

Riding a paper crane back to his spiritual farm hut, Gu Mo immediately replanted the three sunflowers in the black fog space, and then raised the red koi he bought in a water tank. After planting the new season's rice seeds, he would use it to test the effect of the sun essence.

"Then, let's start planting a new season of spiritual rice." Gu Mo stood in front of the spiritual field, looking at the straw in the field, pinched the magic spell, and then waved his hand to release a wave of flames, burning all the straw in the field, turning it into ashes to add some fertility to the spiritual field.

At the same time, any insect eggs that may exist in the spiritual fields will be burned to death. In the previous season of spiritual rice planting, Gu Mo basically did not encounter any insect pests. This is also the benefit of the first planting of idle spiritual fields. Now in this second season, Gu Mo needs to be well prepared.

Preventing pests is the key to ensuring the yield of spiritual fields.

"Little Earth Dragon Technique!"

After releasing the small flame wave, Gu Mo made a hand gesture again and pointed towards the spiritual field. The next moment, a soil earthworm as thick as a washbasin crawled out and swam back and forth in the spiritual field. In a moment, the spiritual field was plowed by the soil earthworms. The speed and efficiency were much higher than when Gu Mo used a hoe before.

Moreover, earthworms can dredge the spiritual energy in the spiritual field, creating a better growth environment for spiritual plants. After the preparations for planting the spiritual field were completed, Gu Mo took out the seeds of the spiritual jade rice and scattered them regularly.

"Little Cloud and Rain Technique!"

The seeds were scattered, and Gu Mo performed the third spiritual farming spell. The next moment, dark clouds gathered over the spiritual field, and then spiritual rain fell, watering the spiritual field.

"knock off!"

Gu Mo let out a long breath and cast three spiritual farming spells at once. If his spiritual power was not three times that of a spiritual farmer of the same level, he really would not be able to withstand such a huge consumption.

But the efficiency of planting entirely with spiritual farming spells is obvious to all. It only took him a few quarters of an hour to complete the spiritual field in front of him.

If it were any other spiritual farmer, it would take at least several days, and the final effect would be far inferior to Gu Mo's.

After the spiritual field was planted, Gu Mo took out the broken array plate, removed the array stones on the array plate, and buried them around the spiritual field according to the instructions of the array plate.

After completing all this, Gu Mo took out eighteen spirit stones and installed them on the array disk to provide energy for it. It was really painful for Gu Mo to consume eighteen spirit stones at a time, and this could only activate one array. An ordinary level 1 array disk only needed nine spirit stones. Fortunately, the array could enter a low-consumption standby state at ordinary times and be activated when needed. Only when it was activated would the spirit stones in the array disk be consumed quickly.

There are two formations in this broken formation disk, one of which can be chosen: illusion formation and defense formation. Gu Mo chose the illusion formation. This non-confrontational formation will consume relatively less spirit stones. Once the defense formation is attacked, the speed at which spirit stones are consumed will be extremely terrifying.

After placing the array plate filled with spirit stones into the spirit field, Gu Mo returned to his hut with the control symbol of the array plate and turned his attention to the red koi in the water tank.

Feeling Gu Mo's gaze, the red koi floated to the surface of the water, smacking its lips as if asking Gu Mo for food.

Seeing this, Gu Mo took out a solar essence from the black fog space and stuffed it into the fish's mouth. After the solar essence entered the mouth, the red koi immediately turned up its white belly.

"Ah! He's not going to die, is he?"

Gu Mo quickly reached out and touched the fish's belly. Fortunately, it was not dead. It must have fainted.

After continuing to observe the koi for a while and seeing no other changes, Gu Mo focused his energy on practicing the Rejuvenation Technique, preparing to master this last spiritual farming spell as soon as possible.

The next day.

Gu Mo stood up and prepared to water the spiritual field. During this time, he glanced at the water tank and found that the koi was swimming comfortably in the tank.

Seeing that the koi had recovered, Gu Mo went forward to check. The koi had swallowed a portion of the sun essence, and he wondered if there were any changes. He reached out and fished the koi out. The koi did not struggle and was picked up obediently by Gu Mo.

"what?"

Gu Mo's eyes swept over the koi and he soon discovered something unusual. The koi, which was originally red, now had three scales that turned golden, as golden as the sun.

There has been a change, but what is the use of this change?

Glancing at the koi carp that was smacking its lips, Gu Mo threw it directly back into the water tank. Compared to pseudo-spiritual animals such as cats and dogs, it is obviously more difficult for fish spiritual animals to become intelligent.

Therefore, it is obviously impossible to get any information from this koi, but at least the sun essence does have an unknown effect on this koi.

If he continues to feed the sun essence, this unknown effect may manifest itself, but now Gu Mo’s primary goal is to save the sun essence and buy new sunflowers.

It only takes 16 days for Gu Mo to buy the fourth sunflower, and then 12 days to buy the fifth one. The more sunflowers he has, the faster he can buy new ones.

However, with Gu Mo's current strength and status, the number of sunflowers he can own is limited. If there are too many, it will be difficult to hide. Once the secret of the sunflowers is discovered, Gu Mo will be in a very dangerous situation.

Five sunflowers are what Gu Mo thinks is a relatively safe number. If the magic array in the spiritual field is activated, ten sunflowers should also be possible.

However, it takes spirit stones to activate the illusion array, so Gu Mo needs to earn enough spirit stones to activate the illusion array for a long enough time.
