Plants vs. Cultivation.

Chapter 70 Becoming a Formal Spiritual Plant Master

Driven by spiritual power, the new spiritual plant in front of him grew rapidly, then produced ears of rice, and bloomed, until it was finally fully mature. Looking at the heavy ears of rice, Gu Mo reached out and took them down.

The rice ears are still Lingyu rice ears, but compared to ordinary Lingyu rice, these Lingyu rice ears that are a fusion of water Lingyu rice look fuller and contain richer spiritual power.

Gu Mo estimated that the grade of this new Lingyu rice should be able to reach the level of medium-grade 1st grade.

Losing a top-grade 1st-grade Water Spirit Rice and gaining a mid-grade 1st-grade Jade Spirit Rice, this fusion was undoubtedly a failure.

But as Gu Mo's work to become a formal spiritual plant master, it is a success.

It is just like an alchemist using top-grade medicinal materials to refine a mid-grade pill. Although this refining was a failure, a mid-grade pill is enough to prove that the alchemist has mastered the art.

Next, Gu Mo only needs to register with the sect to become the third official first-level spiritual plant master of Qinglu Sect.

At this moment, only more than a month had passed since the spiritual plant master's lecture. Gu Mo didn't know whether with this progress, he could be noticed by the spiritual plant master and become his disciple.

Gu Mo was envious of the Level 2 spiritual field on the spiritual peak of the spiritual plant master elder. Thinking of this, Gu Mo immediately stood up and went to the Spirit Planting Hall. Gu Mo did not have the qualifications to directly ask for an audience with the Golden Core Elder. He had to register himself as a spiritual plant master, so he could only go to the Spirit Planting Hall.

It was impossible to meet the Jindan Elder, but now it was very easy for Gu Mo to meet the Deacon Zhao Qiancheng.

"Did you encounter any difficulties?"

Zhao Qiancheng looked at Gu Mo in front of him and asked. Gu Mo was now the treasure of Lingzhitang and also Zhao Qiancheng's lucky star. Ever since Gu Mo successfully planted water spirit rice, his reputation in the sect had been rising steadily, and naturally he had obtained a lot more resources.

"Deacon Zhao, I'm here to register as a formal spiritual plant master." Gu Mo bowed and explained his origins.

"What? You've become a formal spiritual plant master?"

Gu Mo's words made Zhao Qiancheng stunned at first, because the word "spiritual plant master" was a little unfamiliar to him, but Zhao Qiancheng soon reacted and came in front of Gu Mo in one step, his expression full of disbelief.

It seems like Gu Mo just started receiving instruction from the elder spiritual plant master a month ago. He has gotten started in such a short time. It's too fast.

The two spiritual plant masters who had come out of the Spiritual Planting Hall took at least two years to get started, but Gu Mo only took one month.

"What proof do you have?" Zhao Qiancheng asked seriously.

Hearing this, Gu Mo took out the new spiritual plant he had fused. Although Zhao Qiancheng was not a spiritual plant master, as a deacon of the Spiritual Plant Hall, Zhao Qiancheng's attainments in spiritual farming were not weak.

It was obvious at a glance that the spiritual plant in Gu Mo's hand possessed the characteristics of both water spiritual rice and spiritual jade rice, and the ability to combine the two spiritual plants together was exactly what a spiritual plant master was capable of.

"Good good!"

With the physical evidence, Gu Mo's becoming a formal spiritual plant master should be a sure thing. Without hesitation, Zhao Qiancheng quickly submitted this news and Gu Mo's application for outer disciple. Originally, Zhao Qiancheng wanted to wait until Gu Mo stabilized the production of water spirit rice before submitting his outer disciple application, but now that Gu Mo has become a formal spiritual plant master, this application no longer needs to wait.

If Gu Mo's spiritual talent was better, it would not be impossible for him to become an inner disciple.

It only takes a little over a month to become a spiritual plant master. With such talent, there is definitely hope that one can become a 2nd level spiritual plant master. However, no matter whether it is a 2nd level spiritual plant master or a 2nd level alchemist or weapon refiner, corresponding cultivation support is needed. Otherwise, how can one control those 2nd level spiritual plants?

However, Gu Mo's inferior spiritual root talent will become the biggest obstacle for him to enter the foundation-building stage.

The Taoist temple of the spiritual master elder.

An old man with gray hair but full of energy was drinking tea with Qi Chunde in the courtyard on the top of the mountain. "Junior Brother Qi, how long do you think it will take to cultivate these spiritual plants?" The old man looked at Qi Chunde expectantly.

In Qinglu Sect, there is only one person who can call a Jindan elder "junior brother", and that is the current leader of Qinglu Sect, Gao Yunrui.

"Master, although these spiritual plants are rare, they should still be available for purchase in the Immortal City. Why do you need me to ripen them?" Qi Chunde was puzzled. The master woke him up from his retreat just to help ripen some spiritual plants and medicinal herbs.

“Junior brother, you don’t know that I have already sent people to Xiancheng to purchase these medicinal herbs. But it seems that another group of people are also purchasing these medicinal herbs, and their speed is even faster than ours. These medicinal herbs in Xiancheng have basically been snatched away. It will take decades for the next batch of medicinal herbs to mature.” Gao Yunrui said helplessly.

The market is where cultivators conduct transactions, but if this market expands dozens or hundreds of times, it can be called a fairy city, a city where cultivators live.

"Master, there will be some subtle differences between the medicinal herbs that are ripened artificially and those that grow naturally, which may affect the success rate of refining the Infant Condensation Pill." Qi Chunde knew very well the purpose of the master asking him to ripen these spiritual plants and medicinal herbs. In fact, this was no secret among the sect's top leaders.

To refine a pill like Ningying Pill, a lot of preparations need to be done, and it is impossible to hide it from others.

"But we don't have time." Gao Yunrui smiled bitterly. The Nascent Soul ancestor of Qinglu Sect had passed away. He had clearly felt the changes over the years. For example, some of Qinglu Sect's resource points outside were being occupied little by little by people from other major sects. Everyone knew that Qinglu Sect was now a soft persimmon that anyone could pinch.

If this continues, there is no guarantee that someone will not directly attack Qinglu Sect. Although Qinglu Sect is protected by a large formation, it is still unstable without a Nascent Soul cultivator in charge.

As the head of Qinglu Sect, Gao Yunrui has reached the Golden Core Great Perfection and is the only cultivator in the entire Qinglu Sect who has the hope of reaching the Nascent Soul stage. After all, he is the most talented of the previous generation of disciples of Qinglu Sect to become the head of the sect.

But Gao Yunrui was not sure about his ability to directly break through to the Nascent Soul Realm. If he was alone, he could give it a try, but as the head of Qinglu Sect and the only cultivator who had hope of breaking through to the Nascent Soul Realm, he had to be careful.

If he fails, it will be difficult for Qinglu Sect to produce a Nascent Soul cultivator in the next few hundred years, and Qinglu Sect obviously cannot last another few hundred years.

Therefore, he decided to use the strength of the entire sect to refine the Ningying Pill.

Among them, the 4th-level main materials for the Ningying Pill have been gathered, but there are problems with some of the 3rd-level auxiliary materials. Some spiritual materials have been intercepted by others. This means that someone is definitely targeting the Qinglu Sect deliberately.

Knowing that he could not purchase the required spiritual plants and medicinal herbs in the Immortal City, Gao Yunrui could only ask Qi Chunde to help ripen some of the herbs. Because the matter was urgent, Gao Yunrui had to wake up Qi Chunde who was in seclusion.
