My cultivation is too warm

Chapter 172 The experiment was successful (more in the evening)
After seeing the description of the mine rice, Xu Mo wanted to immediately put aside everything he was doing, get the rice seeds, and then go back to experiment.

But he quickly calmed down. The rice seeds were not going to run away anyway, so he decided to deal with the matter at hand first.

Fortunately, things on his side didn't take much time. Just as Daoist Zixiao said before he came, he really just needed to show his face.

Taoist Zixiao formed a Taoist seal with his hands and recited a mantra softly, and Xu Mo's shadow appeared in the ancient sky, and could be seen in every corner of this world.

Then he nodded to Xu Mo.

Seeing this, Xu Mo took a deep breath and slowly said, "My fellow countrymen of Luan Gu, hello, I am Wuyou, and we are here to help you."

What Daoist Master Zixiao asked him to do was so simple, just a matter of one sentence.

Even Xu Mo felt incredible, "Is this all that's going to happen? Why do I feel like I haven't done anything?"

Daoist Master Zixiao nodded slightly and smiled, "That's all that's needed. The main thing is to show the attitude of the people in Luan Gu to release us. That's enough."

"You mean, I can go back?" Xu Mo said in some surprise.

Daoist Master Zixiao nodded and replied, "Of course, but since you're here, don't you want to take a look around?"

Xu Mo quickly shook his head. "There's a kind of rice seed here that survived this curse. I think it might be useful for my research. I'll get it and then go back."

Daoist Zixiao's expression straightened, "If that's the case, then I'll go with you."

He knew very well that Xu Mo's research was of great significance to the ancient world, so he naturally had to ensure that it was foolproof.

……

On the other side, in the Dao Palace of the Peaceful World-Destroying Alliance, the leader of the Peaceful Alliance, Wufang Daozun, saw Xu Mo's shadow appear in the sky and asked the people around him with a puzzled look:

"Why did those people over there let Wuyou Lingnong, a cultivator at the first level of the Dao Refining Realm, be the chief envoy for this mission? What were they thinking?"

The people around him also couldn't understand it. "I can't understand it either, but this is normal. The people on the other side are like that. They always like to do some fancy things. Maybe they think that letting Wuyou Lingnong be the chief envoy can reduce their own aggressiveness.

Humph, a bunch of naive guys, actually brought the same tricks from Canggu to us."

Daoist Master Wu Fang also laughed, then asked curiously, "Speaking of which, last time I asked you to go over there, didn't I ask Wuyou Lingnong to give us half of his seeds? Why didn't you tell me?"

The person next to him froze upon hearing this, then said with a lack of confidence, "Didn't I forget? It's because we were the ones who dumped this mess on them, and I used to look down on them with arrogance and condescension. I didn't have the confidence, and then I forgot when I got nervous."

Upon hearing this, Daoist Master Wufang stared at the man intently, then sighed, "We ancient people do things as we please, without any need to explain ourselves to others. How can we be so insecure? Do we even have to have a clear conscience?"

He shook his head and said, "I feel like you're not really suitable for our Luangu. Why don't you go to the other side?"

When the man heard this, his face turned pale and he knelt on the ground. "No, leader, I am loyal to our Luan Gu. I enjoy killing and blood. I don't want to go to the gentle land of Cang Gu."

Then his eyes rolled, and he suddenly had an idea. He handed over his letter of surrender, "If you don't believe me, I will go and kill Cang Gu's gang right now and keep them here forever."

When Daoist Wufang heard this, his expression became even more complicated. He sighed in melancholy and said:

"They are all our compatriots, sharing the same roots and origins. They are here to help us through this difficult time. Facing this group of simple-minded, innocent and kind people, who have no defenses against you and only want to help you, how could you have such a cruel mind? Are you still human? We are villains, yes, but we are not animals!"

"Ah." The man was stunned for a moment. Didn't you, the leader, say...well, the leader didn't seem to say that, so am I really too beastly?

Then he shook his head and said, "Forget it, don't think about it. We in the ancient times respect the strong. The leader is stronger than me. If he says yes, then so be it."

……

Xu Mo was not sure whether his words had any effect on the chaotic ancient world. After he and Taoist Zixiao got the rice seeds from the mine, they returned to the small world of Wuyou Peak.

This mine rice is called rice, but in fact it is more like an undomesticated primitive rice variety.

It can be said to be a plant between rice and weeds.

He even made a meal with the rice from the mine to taste it. He could only say that it was really unpalatable and had very low nutritional value.

The description on the jade slip that Luangu gave him before about being able to satisfy hunger was really accurate. This food could only be used to stave off hunger. Only slaves and miners could eat this kind of food.

Even if it is used to feed pigs or dogs, it will probably be rejected.

I can only say that in some worlds, humans are sometimes really worse than animals.

However, the vitality of this mining rice is really very tenacious. They tried to pollinate it with grass, bamboo and other spiritual plants, and found that it was just an ordinary plant, but it could persist in the presence of spiritual plants for seven days before completely losing its activity and being devoured by the spiritual plants as nutrients.

This discovery made Xu Mo and the others overjoyed. Although the two failed to combine successfully, it gave them hope.

As long as a rice variety with high life resilience is cultivated using mining rice, it can persist for a period of time during the combination process without being swallowed.

Then, perhaps they could use external factors to force the two together, creating a new species. As long as the new species contained even a tiny bit of spirituality, their research would have taken a solid step forward, with the possibility of success.

Then they couldn't wait to start experimenting.

Although they have found the direction and ideas this time, the experiment was not smooth sailing. It took ten years and countless repeated experiments and trial and error before they obtained a rice variety that met the standards.

Next comes the most important experiment.

At this time, the food crisis of mortals in the worlds of Cang Gu and Luan Gu had passed unnoticed.

Now the only major problem facing the two worlds is spiritual rice.

Even other spiritual plants, those that were in a half-dead state, have mostly been revived by spiritual plant masters all over the world.

The 30% of grass-type spiritual plants that were the most damaged were actually the least affected.

Because the shackles that prevented the consumption of spiritual plants from the outside world only targeted rice, wheat and other crops that could be used as staple food.

And those spiritual herbs and the like actually have no effect.

It's not that they don't want to expand the scope, but they can't do it. It's extremely rare to be able to seal off Canggu's spiritual rice for a period of time. If Canggu hadn't been unprepared, they wouldn't even be able to do this.

After all, Dao Zun is a rare sight in the outside world, but it is not rare in Cang Gu. Although the curse caused by the self-destruction of a Dao Zun and several Dao Zuns of the Seventh Realm is terrifying, it will not have much impact on Cang Gu, which has many Dao Zuns.

Therefore, after discovering that the spiritual herbs were not affected by the shackles, the ancient world launched a massive attack outside the sky, as if to vent its anger.

The final result was that the number of spiritual herbs in the ancient world increased instead of decreased, and the same was true for other spiritual plants.

Except for Lingmi and other actions that are affected by the curse shackles.

The Canggu World's proactive attack, which changed its normal behavior, made many forces from other alien worlds tremble in fear, and they retreated in fear to avoid disaster.

This is the purpose of the ancient world, which is to deter those forces from other worlds, in exchange for a period of stability so that they can concentrate on expelling the power of the curse.

In fact, everyone in Canggu knows that their current situation is really bad.

Before producing new spiritual rice, their external strategy will be mainly defensive. Even if they take action, it will be mainly to deter the enemy to avoid falling into a stalemate in the war.

In fact, the impact of being unable to produce spiritual rice has begun to appear in the Canggu world.

The most obvious point is that Xu Mo discovered that the disciples of Wuyou Peak's cultivation speed has slowed down significantly compared to the previous period of time.

Before, when there was spiritual rice, everyone could rely on it to assist in their practice.

But now, without the spiritual rice, not only the auxiliary effect of the spiritual rice itself is gone, but even the elixir is affected.

If you had practiced in the past, you could take one or even more pills a month to assist in your practice.

Now this frequency has to be extended to three months or even five months.

As a result, the speed of cultivation will naturally be much slower than before.

Xu Mo could clearly see that the atmosphere in Wuyou Peak had become much more depressing than before.

This made him extremely anxious, and he tried to change everything as soon as possible.

After obtaining a new variety of rice that met the standards, they began experiments without delay.

This time the experiment finally did not disappoint them.

The new variety of rice has stronger resilience than the previous mine rice, and can survive the process of artificial pollination and spiritual planting without being eaten.

Perhaps because there is a natural barrier between mortal plants and spiritual plants, although they were not swallowed, the two could not combine.

Xu Mo and his team conducted repeated experiments on this. In the process of combining them, they used a mixed juice extracted from a spiritual plant of the Poaceae family similar to dogtail grass and a first-grade spiritual plant, narcissus grass, and stimulated it with spiritual power at a special frequency, and successfully cultivated new seeds.

When the new seeds take root and sprout in the spiritual field and produce rice, they are then harvested and evaluated.

Everyone in the small world held their breath, waiting for the evaluation results.

"The grains are plump and possess a high spirituality. Preliminary testing shows they are harmless and edible."

Xu Mo read out the evaluation results in his hand, then smiled gently at everyone, "Everyone, our experiment was successful."
