Plants vs. Cultivation.

Chapter 53: Top-quality sunflowers

After confirming that solar essence was needed to upgrade the sunflower, Gu Mo put all the 15 portions of solar essence he harvested every day into the cultivation pot. As the solar essence was put in, the arrow representing the upgrade also turned green little by little.

After investing the 50th portion of solar essence, Gu Mo found that the arrow had completely turned green. Without hesitation, Gu Mo directly clicked on the upgrade arrow.

The next moment, a ray of light enveloped the sunflower. After a few breaths, the light disappeared, and a slightly taller sunflower appeared.

Name: Sunflower.

Grade: Level 1, medium quality.

Effect: Concentrates the essence of the sun.

Planting conditions: Level 1 spiritual field.

"It's a mid-level 1st grade!"

Gu Mo glanced at the properties of the upgraded sunflower and was overjoyed. Then, he saw the gray arrow behind the grade bar.

Does this mean that the 1st-level medium-quality sunflower can be further upgraded? If the sunflower is upgraded to the 1st-level high-quality, will the effect of the condensed sun essence be stronger?
To be honest, Gu Mo was a little excited at this moment. However, before that, Gu Mo wanted to verify the effect of the sunflower that had been upgraded to the first-grade medium quality.

He took out the sunflowers from the cultivation pots and replanted them in the spiritual field. The next day, Gu Mo harvested a portion of solar essence condensed from first-grade medium-quality sunflowers.

After absorbing the sun essence, a smile immediately appeared on Gu Mo's face. This sun essence allowed him to regain the effect of three days of hard training.

Although it was also three days of hard training, it was the three days of hard training at the middle stage of Qi Refining, which was by no means comparable to the three days of hard training at the early stage of Qi Refining.

After confirming that the effect of the condensed solar essence of the sunflower had increased after being upgraded, Gu Mo immediately decided to try to further upgrade this first-grade medium-quality sunflower.

There are currently 15 sunflowers in Gu Mo's spiritual field, which is almost the limit. If there are more, it will be difficult to hide them. When the number cannot be increased further, improving the quality of the sunflowers is the best option to improve the efficiency of cultivation.

At the same time, Gu Mo also wanted to use this upgrade to find out the amount of solar essence needed to upgrade the sunflower, so as to make plans for other subsequent sunflower upgrades.

He transplanted the first-grade medium-quality sunflower into the cultivation pot again, and then Gu Mo continued to put solar essence into the pot.

This time, Gu Mo spent 100 portions of solar essence to upgrade the medium-grade sunflower to a high-grade one. Afterwards, Gu Mo was shocked to find that the upgraded arrow did not disappear.

Level 1 top quality is not the limit of this sunflower, it can continue to upgrade, "I want to see where your limit is!" Gu Mo was also determined at this moment, ready to upgrade this sunflower to its limit.

To put it bluntly, the sunflower is Gu Mo's foundation. The stronger the sunflower is, the more help it will be to Gu Mo. Therefore, Gu Mo will never hesitate to upgrade the sunflower.

However, before that, Gu Mo planted the top-grade first-grade sunflowers in front of him back into the spiritual field to test the effect. The result made Gu Mo very satisfied. The condensed solar essence could reach the amount of 1 days of hard practice.

And this is not the limit. If this top-quality sunflower is planted in a top-quality spiritual field, it should be able to achieve the level of 5 days of hard training. Gu Mo's first-grade medium-quality spiritual field has begun to lag behind.

It is difficult to obtain a higher grade spiritual field, unless Gu Mo is willing to reveal some of his trump cards, there may be a chance to obtain a higher grade spiritual field, but the risk of doing so is too great. If the grade of the spiritual field cannot be upgraded, then continue to upgrade the sunflower, move the first-grade sunflower back to the cultivation pot, and Gu Mo continues to put the sun essence into it.

According to the first upgrade requiring 50 portions of solar essence, the second 100 portions, Gu Mo thinks that the third upgrade should require 200 portions of solar essence, and 14 sunflowers will take about 14 days to collect.

Sure enough, after Gu Mo invested 200 portions of solar essence, the upgrade arrow turned green again. He clicked on the upgrade button, and the sunflower was successfully upgraded to the first-grade premium product.

After being promoted to the first-grade top grade, the upgrade arrow behind the sunflower grade did not disappear, but became bigger.

Seeing this, Gu Mo's heart jumped. If the 1st level was upgraded again, it would break through the level and rise to the 2nd level. The 2nd level was already in the realm of foundation building.

Upgrading from level 1 to level 2 is definitely a big hurdle, but at this moment, this cultivation pot can actually directly upgrade the sunflower from level 1 to level 2, and the energy required for the upgrade is still the sun's essence.

If he could obtain a level 2 sunflower during the Qi Refining Stage, Gu Mo couldn't imagine how much help it would bring him.

After trying to throw in a few portions of solar essence, Gu Mo's face turned bitter. Before, he could see some progress when he put solar essence into the arrow, but now there was no movement at all when he put in the solar essence.

This means that if Gu Mo wants to upgrade the top-grade first-level sunflower in front of him, he will need a huge amount of solar essence, which involves the question of whether it is worth it.

Putting a large amount of solar essence into it will inevitably affect Gu Mo's practice, but at the same time, if he can get a level 2 sunflower, it will be of great help to Gu Mo.

Gu Mo was undecided for a moment and planned to upgrade the other sunflowers first, but soon Gu Mo decided to concentrate on cultivating a level 2 sunflower.

Because in the process of upgrading other sunflowers, Gu Mo discovered that the effect of the sun essence condensed by the first-grade top-quality sunflower is several times that of other first-grade low-quality sunflowers.

Originally, 50 portions of solar essence could upgrade a low-grade sunflower to a medium-grade one, but if the solar essence condensed from a first-grade top-grade sunflower is used, only a dozen portions are needed.

If this is the solar essence condensed by a second-level sunflower, then wouldn't it be possible to upgrade directly with just one portion? In addition, Gu Mo also thought about his future efforts to build a foundation. Would absorbing the solar essence condensed by a second-level sunflower help him to better build a foundation?

Gu Molie's spiritual root talent meant that it would be very difficult for him to reach the Foundation Establishment Stage, so he needed to start preparations as soon as possible.

Having made up his mind, Gu Mo first upgraded all the sunflowers to medium-grade. The solar essence condensed by medium-grade sunflowers is more effective in breaking the level of top-grade tier 1 sunflowers than low-grade ones. As for the high-grade ones, the solar essence required is a bit too much, and Gu Mo's medium-grade spiritual field cannot fully unleash the capabilities of the high-grade sunflowers, so he did not make the choice.

The main peak of Qinglu Sect.

This is the core of the entire Qinglu Sect. A 4th-order spiritual vein runs through it, bringing rich spiritual energy to the main peak. Practicing in the main peak is equivalent to having a BUFF that accelerates practice.

Only the elders of the sect and some inner disciples with outstanding talents can enjoy such a favorable cultivation environment. Ordinary inner disciples can only cultivate in the relatively inferior side peaks. However, even the side peaks have 3rd-level spiritual veins. Although not as good as the main peak, they are also the precious places for cultivation that countless cultivators desire.

At this moment, in a cave on the hillside of the main peak, a handsome young man looked at the list in his hand and fell into deep thought.

He is the sect leader's new disciple, He Shaogang.
