Plants vs. Cultivation.

Chapter 33: Yield Champion
As Gu Mo was riding a crane slowly towards Lingzhi Hall, a ray of sword light rushed out from the direction of Lingzhi Hall and passed by Gu Mo, but soon the sword light made a sharp turn and stopped in front of Gu Mo. At this time, Gu Mo also saw clearly who was coming. It was Mai Yunfa who brought him to Lingzhi Hall.

"Junior brother Gu Mo, come with me quickly." Seeing Gu Mo, Mai Yunfa quickly pulled Gu Mo onto his magic sword and flew with him towards the Lingzhi Hall.

"Senior Brother Mai, what happened?" Seeing Mai Yunfa's anxious look, Gu Mo quickly reviewed the situation in his mind. It seemed that he did not reveal anything that should not be exposed.

"It's Deacon Zhao who's looking for you, good news." Mai Yunfa looked at Gu Mo with some amazement. He had just come out of Lingzhi Hall, but he clearly remembered the shock on Deacon Zhao's face at that time.

Half an hour ago.

The manager in charge of storing the spiritual rice began to report this year's harvest to Zhao Qiancheng, which is also the most important thing for Lingzhi Church.

"The output of spiritual rice has dropped again this year?" Zhao Qiancheng's face turned ugly when he learned that the growth rate of spiritual rice output this year was still negative.

Although the drop is not much, it is a drop after all, and it has been a small drop for several consecutive years, which is the most fatal thing.

This would make the sect feel that he, the deacon, had not done his job well. The biggest function of the Spiritual Planting Church was to provide the sect with spiritual rice. The output of spiritual rice was directly related to the welfare benefits of the Spiritual Planting Church in the following year, as well as the future of him as the deacon.

He has been increasing production over the years, but the spiritual fields in the valley have reached their limit and have no potential for further improvement. Even maintaining the current production is not an easy task. Any slight disturbance will cause a slight drop in production.

Currently, the only solution to increase the output of spiritual rice in Lingzhitang is to make use of the scattered spiritual fields outside the valley. However, due to lack of manpower, the spiritual fields outside the valley have not been fully utilized yet.

No, it seems that someone is already cultivating the spiritual field outside the valley.

"How is Gu Mo's production this year?" As a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage, Zhao Qiancheng naturally has a good memory and quickly recalled Gu Mo's situation.

"Deacon Zhao, I was just about to report to you." When the warehouse manager heard Zhao Qiancheng mention Gu Mo, a smile appeared on his face. This was a surprise he had prepared.

In recent years, every time he came to report, it was bad news. This year, there was finally some good news, and as the manager, he naturally had to talk about it.

Immediately, the manager reported Gu Mo's spiritual rice production for the two seasons this year. When Zhao Qiancheng heard that Gu Mo's spiritual rice production in the first season was 500 kilograms, he couldn't help but show surprise on his face. It was absolutely amazing that he could achieve such a yield in the first time of planting spiritual rice.

But when Zhao Qiancheng learned that Gu Mo's output in the second season soared to 800 kilograms, Zhao Qiancheng was shocked.

The yield per mu is 800 kilograms, which is enough to compete for this year's per mu yield champion.

"Deacon Zhao, the highest yield per mu of Lingyu rice this year is 800 kilograms." The steward also promptly informed him that Gu Mo had won the per mu yield championship this year.

"Good good!"

Zhao Qiancheng took a deep breath and said three good words, and rented the spiritual fields outside the valley to the menial disciples who took the initiative to join. This policy was set by Zhao Qiancheng, and Gu Mo was the first beneficiary of this policy. The better Gu Mo performed, the more it proved Zhao Qiancheng's foresight.

Knowing that Deacon Zhao of the Spiritual Planting Hall came to him to discuss the yield per mu of his spiritual fields, Gu Mo was overjoyed. The yield per mu champion would receive a very good reward. Although the reward was not fixed and depended entirely on Deacon Zhao's thoughts, anything a deacon in the Foundation Establishment Stage brought out was good stuff for a Qi Refining Stage like Gu Mo.

Mai Yunfa, who was driving the magic sword, glanced at Gu Mo, whose eyes were filled with surprise, and was full of envy. In previous years, Mai Yunfa did not think highly of the rewards for the per-acre yield champion, but this time was different. He was sure that the reward Gu Mo received would definitely be much higher than in previous years. The reason was very simple. Gu Mo had made Deacon Zhao proud.

With Mai Yunfa's full efforts, the magic sword quickly landed in front of the meeting hall of Lingzhi Hall. Gu Mo followed Mai Yunfa into the meeting hall and met Deacon Zhao.

"Meet Deacon Zhao!"

Gu Mo followed Mai Yunfa in saluting.

"good."

Zhao Qiancheng glanced at Gu Mo. Although Gu Mo's cultivation had basically not improved, based on the results he showed, it was more than enough for Zhao Qiancheng to praise him as good.

"You should have mastered the second spiritual farming spell by now." Thinking of Gu Mo's excellent comprehension and the 800 kilograms per mu yield, Zhao Qiancheng said with certainty.

After joining Lingzhi Church for more than a year, he has mastered two spiritual farming spells. In the future, he will definitely be the fourth person in Lingzhi Church to master all five spiritual farming spells.

It's a pity that his spiritual talent is too poor, otherwise, with such understanding, it would be possible for him to become an inner disciple.

"Yes!"

Gu Mo responded respectfully. Now is obviously not the time to reveal that he has mastered all five spiritual farming spells, because this is a bit shocking and will attract a lot of attention.

Revealing that he mastered two spiritual farming spells was in line with his previous display of excellent comprehension, and also in line with the speculation of Deacon Zhao Qiancheng. It was absolutely the safest thing to make everything within the prediction of Deacon Zhao and within his control.

If Gu Mo revealed that he had mastered three spiritual farming spells, Zhao Qiancheng would certainly be shocked, but it would also make him pay more attention to Gu Mo. Being noticed was the last thing Gu Mo wanted.

"This time you won the per-acre yield championship of Lingyu rice. As usual, Lingzhitang will reward you." Zhao Qiancheng looked at Gu Mo and began to think about what reward to give Gu Mo.

Although Gu Mo's spiritual roots are very poor, his comprehension is good. Compared with those menial disciples with poor spiritual roots and poor comprehension, he is definitely worth training.

"Do you know a spiritual plant master?"

After thinking for a moment, Zhao Qiancheng spoke.

As soon as these words came out, Mai Yunfa, who was standing by, suddenly showed an incredible look on his face, because he guessed what kind of reward Deacon Zhao was going to give to Gu Mo. He, an outer disciple, had also received such a reward before, but so far, such a reward had never been given to a menial disciple.

"I am not well-educated and have never heard of it." Gu Mo shook his head. From the name, a spiritual plant master should be a profession related to plants, but Gu Mo has never heard of what it specifically does.

"You can think of a spirit plant master as an advanced profession of a spirit farmer, which is the same profession as an alchemist, talisman master, formation master, and blacksmith. The spirit seeds you receive have been cultivated by spirit plant masters, which is why they have such a high yield." Zhao Qiancheng introduced.
