Plants vs. Cultivation

Seeing Liu Shulan nod, Gu Mo took out another level 3 top-grade torch tree stump and handed it to the other party, and told the details of the use of the torch tree stump. The level 3 top-grade torch tree stump, planted in Liu Shulan's alchemy room containing level 4 spiritual energy, can fully reach the level 4 power with the help of the short-term burst of the torch tree stump.

It's a pity that the spiritual land of Shennong Valley cannot be traded, otherwise, Gu Mo would rather not have the alchemy furnace and strange fire, but also a level 4 spiritual land.

As for directly using the level 4 spiritual land of a Yuanying Zhenjun, this sect has no restrictions. Many of the direct disciples of Yuanying Zhenjun have used their master's level 4 cave when breaking through certain levels and bottlenecks.

But Gu Mo has a lot of secrets, so it is naturally impossible for him to use the level 4 spiritual land of Yuanying Zhenjun. Therefore, if Gu Mo wants a spiritual land, he can only slowly save up the sect contribution to exchange.

Gu Mo was also confident about this. This time he got a top-grade magic furnace, plus a new strange fire, which would definitely be a huge improvement for Gu Mo's alchemy skills.

Gu Mo even considered whether to find other high-level alchemists and refiners who had strange fires to sell them the torch tree stump.

But after thinking about it, Gu Mo temporarily gave up this idea. Gu Mo dared to trade with Liu Shulan because Liu Shulan was an elder of the sect and was considered one of his own.

Even if Liu Shulan was curious about Gu Mo's torch tree stump, the sect's regulations and the support of Gu Mo's master were enough to make him dare not have any thoughts. But if it were other high-level cultivators, seeing Gu Mo holding such a good treasure, they might directly snatch it.

"Pick one of the alchemy furnaces here." Liu Shulan played with the tree stump with some reluctance. Although the tree stump was not very good-looking, it was deeply loved by her. After all, no alchemist would dislike a treasure that could improve his own attainments in the way of alchemy.

"Elder Liu, I'll choose this." Gu Mo pointed to the furnace he used to make the elixir. He used this furnace very easily. Although it didn't have any special effects, it had a solid foundation.

In addition to the furnace of the best magic weapon level, the molten tree stump carrying the molten fire from the earth's core will also belong to Gu Mo.

So far, the transaction between the two parties has been officially concluded.

Then, Gu Mo handed the disciple token of Shennong Valley to Liu Shulan and asked her to give it certification. Only after certification can Gu Mo take the alchemy task.

"Gu Mo? Are you Gu Mo?"

Liu Shulan took the identity token handed over by Gu Mo, and couldn't help but look a little surprised. As an elder of Shennong Valley, Liu Shulan was naturally present at the previous high-level meeting.

Liu Shulan naturally knew that Hou Chunyu applied for the true teaching treatment for Gu Mo, and also learned about Gu Mo's origin through Hou Chunyu's jade slip.

The above introduction introduces Gu Mo's talent and comprehension that is not inferior to that of the true disciples, and his equally outstanding spiritual plant master talent. It's just that because I didn't see it with my own eyes, Liu Shulan felt that there should be some exaggeration from Senior Brother Hou. Of course, this is nothing.

Hou Chunyu wants to apply for the true disciple treatment for Gu Mo, so he naturally has to say it as well as possible, and Hou Chunyu will not exaggerate too much, otherwise, if the matter is exposed, it will be his face.

But at this moment, Liu Shulan feels that Senior Brother Hou is not only not exaggerating, but also restrained a lot. Being able to cultivate special spiritual plants such as torch stumps that can absorb strange fire, you call this a spiritual plant master with outstanding talent, and it's not an exaggeration to say that it's a monster.

And Gu Mo's equally extraordinary alchemy talent, Senior Brother Hou didn't even mention it. Why, the identity of an alchemist is not worthy of being revealed.

"It's the disciple!"

Seeing Elder Liu's reaction, Gu Mo was also stunned. This was the first time he met Elder Liu. How did the other party know him?

"Yes, your lineage is not good at alchemy. If you have any confusion about alchemy, you can come to me." Liu Shulan said after engraving the certification of the third-level alchemist on Gu Mo's identity token.

Knowing Gu Mo's identity, Liu Shulan also understood that Gu Mo's appearance was not because other branches of Shennong Valley wanted to enter the alchemy master, he might be just an exception.

Senior Brother Hou's lineage is best at planting. Of course, there are many branches that go the spiritual plant planting path, but Senior Brother Hou's lineage has been firmly in the top few for many years.

Based on Liu Shulan's understanding of Senior Brother Hou, the other party will not be distracted from becoming an alchemist.

"Thank you, Elder!"

Hearing this, Gu Mo was delighted. Just like practicing, Gu Mo also had no master to guide him in alchemy. He relied on his own comprehension of the Qinglu Sect's fourth-level alchemist inheritance obtained from He Shaogang's storage bracelet. Later, with the assistance of a large number of spiritual medicines and torch tree stumps in the sea area, he reached the third-level alchemist.

Now that he can get the guidance of a 4th-level alchemist, it will definitely help Gu Mo avoid many detours. It can be said that after joining Shennong Valley, Gu Mo has found someone to consult for his practice, spiritual plant master, and alchemist.

However, now is obviously not the time to ask for advice. Gu Mo put away his identity token and said goodbye to Liu Shulan.

"Go!"

Liu Shulan nodded. At this moment, she was also eager to transfer the earth's core molten fire to the torch tree stump in her hand. You know, this earth's core molten fire is consuming her spiritual materials every moment.

There is also this magical tree stump. Liu Shulan also plans to study it carefully. Gu Mo is a 3rd-level spiritual plant master, and so is she. She is also a Yuanying Zhenjun. Liu Shulan is confident that she can find out the secret of this tree stump.

Especially the ability to carry strange fire, which makes Liu Shulan very concerned. If she can get the secret, will it make her control of strange fire reach a higher level?

"Junior Brother Gu, I have some connections in Shennong Valley. If you need any help, please come to me." Qian Tao bowed to Gu Mo.

As a witness to the miraculous torch stump, Qian Tao did not ask Gu Mo to buy the torch stump at this moment. After all, his master paid a top-grade magic furnace and a strange fire seed to get Gu Mo's torch stump.

Qian Tao did not have such wealth. If he asked, he would only humiliate himself. However, Qian Tao knew the location of a secret realm. He was ready to find an opportunity to explore it and see if he could get some treasures from the secret realm. Then he would come to Gu Mo to trade.

Of course, as an alchemist, Qian Tao's combat power was not outstanding, but as Qian Tao said, as a third-level alchemist, he had a wide network of contacts.

This network of contacts was not only in Shennong Valley, but Qian Tao also had a lot of connections outside. When the time came, he would form a team to explore the secret realm together.

"Thank you so much, Senior Brother!" Gu Mo bowed his hands to express his gratitude.

Gu Mo naturally knew what Senior Brother Qian was thinking, but he wanted the torch tree stump, so Gu Mo couldn't give it to Liu Shulan for free. He gave it to Liu Shulan because he had a treasure that Gu Mo urgently needed.

If Qian Tao couldn't come up with a treasure that interested him, Gu Mo would not trade the torch tree stump at will.

After saying goodbye to Qian Tao, Gu Mo went directly to the Mission Hall and began to accept alchemy tasks.

Leaf Courtyard.

Ordinary torch tree stumps, ice flame tree stumps, and molten fire tree stumps were placed in a shape of a Chinese character "品", and a top-grade magic furnace stood in it. This was the tool that Gu Mo would use to make the next alchemy. Using two kinds of strange fire to make the alchemy, even those 4th-level alchemists didn't have this treatment.

But Gu Mo did it. He threw the spiritual medicine that came with the task into the furnace one by one, and Gu Mo began to make preliminary refinements.

The elixir that Gu Mo needed to refine this time was the 1st-level Tuomai Pill, which had the effect of opening up the meridians for the cultivators in the Qi Refining Period and increasing their cultivation foundation.

Although this is only a 1st-grade elixir, it is extremely difficult to refine. In addition, the task that Gu Mo accepted requires a top-grade Tuomai Pill.

The higher the grade of Tuomai Pill, the stronger the effect. Those true geniuses will only use top-grade Tuomai Pills, and they will never be stingy with money for this. Therefore, the task reward for refining top-grade Tuomai Pills is of the upper-middle level among the 3rd-grade alchemy tasks.

It is just that refining top-grade elixirs is very difficult.

Just like practicing magic, great achievement is the limit of most cultivators, and top-grade elixirs are the limit of most alchemists. As for top-grade elixirs, they need to reach the extreme in all aspects to be born.

Therefore, this task has been pending for a long time, and no alchemist has accepted it. If a 3rd-grade alchemist takes action to refine, it can guarantee 100% of the top-grade, but the top-grade is still not guaranteed.

If you only need one or two top-grade Tuomai Pills, there are still 3rd-grade alchemists willing to try. The materials required for 1st-grade elixirs are not expensive. If you try a few more times, you will always be lucky enough to get one or two top-grade ones.

But the number of top-grade Tuomai Pills required for the task is 9, which is also the limit for cultivators in the Qi Refining stage. If they can only take 9, the higher the grade of Tuomai Pills, the better.

9 top-grade Tuomai Pills, this number directly made those 3rd-level alchemists who wanted to try give up.

But after seeing this task, Gu Mo took it without hesitation. With two kinds of strange fire and the precise fire control ability of Torch Tree Stump, Gu Mo was confident that he could give it a try.

Because Gu Mo knew very well how big the market for top-grade Tuomai Pills was. This 1st-level pill was useless for cultivators above the foundation building stage, but it was a huge improvement for cultivators who had just entered the Qi Refining stage.

As long as the top-grade Tuomai Pills appeared, those big sects and big forces would definitely spend a lot of money to buy them and give them to their outstanding disciples to use and lay a solid foundation for them.

One by one, the most essential parts of the medicinal materials were refined by the extremely cold ice flames and the heavy earth core molten fire. Then, Gu Mo kept playing the alchemy formula to fuse the essence of these medicinal materials.

A perfect version in the 16-9 book forum!

About a quarter of an hour later, a strong fragrance of pills overflowed. Seeing this, Gu Mo smiled, because he succeeded.

Although only one pill was produced in this furnace, and the number of spiritual medicines consumed by Gu Mo was enough to make dozens of pills under normal circumstances, in order to pursue the best quality, Gu Mo compressed all the medicinal power to ensure that it would become a top-quality Tuomai Pill.

And the value of this top-quality Tuomai Pill is far more than dozens or hundreds. No, this top-quality Tuomai Pill is not comparable to ordinary Tuomai Pills.

After playing the pill collection method, a round pill appeared, and there was a pill pattern on this pill, which was the sign of the top-quality pill.

Next, Gu Mo continued to refine the pill. As a 3rd-level alchemist, he refined a 1st-level pill, even if it was a 1st-level top-quality pill, with the assistance of strange fire and torch stump, Gu Mo seemed very relaxed.

Of course, Gu Mo failed several times during this period, but the success rate remained at 80%. This 80% success rate is the success rate of the best elixir, not the success rate of ordinary elixir.

After putting nine best Tuomai Pills into a special jade bottle, Gu Mo completed the alchemy commission.

It took less than a day in total.

It is very normal to spend several months to refine a 3rd-level elixir from preparation to the final elixir. If you fail once during the period, the time will double.

Gu Mo chose this 1st-level best Tuomai Pill. In addition to the two kinds of strange fire in hand, he was full of confidence, and there was also the reason that it took less time to refine a 1st-level elixir.

If you want to quickly earn the contribution of the sect, the faster the task is completed, the better. With the refined elixir, Gu Mo went to the mission hall and prepared to hand in the task.

A branch of the ancient tree.

"Master, I have broken through the late stage of Qi Refining!" A young girl excitedly informed her master of her latest cultivation results.

"Not bad!"

The young girl's master was surprised when he heard this, but in addition to being surprised, this late Jindan cultivator was a little anxious.

His apprentice's cultivation speed was too fast, and there was no news about the top-grade Tuomai Pill he entrusted. Tuomai Pill can only be effective when taken in the Qi Refining stage. Moreover, for his apprentice with outstanding talent, the late Jindan cultivator had great ambitions in his heart.

He wanted to use the top-grade Tuomai Pill to lay a solid foundation for his apprentice, only in this way could he compete for the qualification of the sect's true teaching.

However, when his apprentice just entered the Qi Refining stage, he issued the commissioned task. Now that his apprentice has reached the late stage of Qi Refining, there is still no news about the top-grade Tuomai Pill. How can this not make people anxious?

Of course, in addition to the top-grade Tuomai Pill, there are actually other ways to increase the foundation, such as the perfect level of cleaning technique, but it is also extremely difficult to practice the cleaning technique to the perfect level.

His apprentice does not seem to have this talent. Of course, some natural treasures also have the effect of increasing the foundation, but such natural treasures are difficult for him to obtain even in the late Jindan stage.

After thinking about it, the top-grade Tuomai Pill is the best choice.

"If it doesn't work, I will lose face and ask my master to ask him to ask Elder Liu to help!"

The late Jindan cultivator had to consider the worst case scenario. At that time, he could only seek his master and ask Elder Liu from the alchemy lineage to help.

Of course, this is the last resort. After all, this will make his master owe Elder Liu a favor, and the favor of Yuanying Zhenjun is very valuable.

No Yuanying Zhenjun would be willing to owe others a favor unless it is absolutely necessary.

"Master, Master!"

Just as the late Jindan cultivator's thoughts were flying in his mind, a young man ran in quickly.

"Why are you so flustered!"

The interruption of his thoughts made the late Jindan cultivator a little unhappy. This disciple didn't practice seriously and just liked to wander around.

Seeing the master getting angry, the young man couldn't help shrinking his neck, but when he thought of the news he had received, he immediately became excited, "Master, the commission you asked me to issue before has been completed."

As soon as the young man finished speaking, the late Jindan cultivator disappeared.

"Tsk, you still say I'm in a hurry, aren't you the same..." Seeing this, the young man muttered.

"What are you muttering about, follow me!"

At this time, a hand grabbed the young man, scaring him, but before the young man could explain, the two of them ran away directly.
