Plants vs. Cultivation

The method that Gu Mo found was actually very simple. Since there was no spiritual field, he could create one artificially. He could directly bury spiritual stones and other spiritual objects in the soil to improve the spiritual energy of the land.

However, the disadvantage of doing so was also very obvious. When the spiritual power of the spiritual stones buried in the soil was consumed, the spiritual energy of the land would also disappear.

Only those real spiritual fields supported by spiritual veins could maintain an endless supply of spiritual power.

But for Gu Mo, this was the only way to break the deadlock. He happened to have three spiritual stones, so he could try it.

Without hesitation, Gu Mo quickly returned to his hut, found a basin, dug some soil outside the house, cracked the three spiritual stones and buried them all in. Three low-grade spiritual stones, providing spiritual power to a basin-sized piece of land, should be able to reach the level of a first-level spiritual field.

After completing the transformation of the micro-artificial spiritual field, Gu Mo took out the seeds of sunflowers and planted them directly. All Gu Mo could do next was to wait.

If everything goes well, the results will be known tomorrow. As long as the planting conditions are met, the sunflower will take root and sprout immediately. After carefully checking the flowerpot, Gu Mo began to practice.

After a night of practice, there was still no harvest, but there was a huge change in the flowerpot. In the originally empty flowerpot, a plant similar to a sunflower was swaying gently in the morning sun.

"This is the sunflower."

Gu Mo looked at the plant curiously, which was only as high as his arm. The root of the plant was straight, and there were two palm-sized leaves on it.

The most eye-catching thing was naturally the flower of the plant. This flower was somewhat similar to the flower of a sunflower, but Gu Mo felt that this flower was more like a miniature sun, and as the sun rose in the sky, the color of the flower was constantly changing from warm red to golden yellow.

Moreover, the golden flower disk of the sunflower had been locked on the sun in the sky. Seeing this, Gu Mo moved the flowerpot to the window to let the sunlight shine directly on the sunflower.

Under the sunlight, Gu Mo found that the sunflowers were swaying more and more happily, and the sunlight shining on the sunflowers' flower disks was actually condensed.

"Sun Essence!"

Seeing this, Gu Mo immediately guessed what the light condensed in the sunflower disk was. However, the sun essence cannot be obtained now, and can only be collected after the sun sets.

After waiting in the house for a whole day, Gu Mo did not leave for a moment, fearing that something unexpected would happen after he left. Fortunately, Gu Mo stored some food and water in the house, so he was not hungry.

Finally, when the last ray of sunlight disappeared in the sky, the originally golden sunflowers also quickly dimmed, but there was still a faint golden light in the flower disk.

Gu Mo stared at the sunflowers, and the familiar light curtain emerged. At this moment, an option to harvest appeared on the light curtain.

This means that if outsiders cannot see the attribute light curtain of the sunflower, they cannot collect the sun essence in the sunflower, which is definitely good news for Gu Mo.

Without hesitation, Gu Mo clicked the harvest option. The next moment, the golden light in the sunflower gushed out and turned into an egg-sized illusory sun that fell into Gu Mo's hands. When he touched the illusory sun, Gu Mo immediately felt a warm force flowing from his hands to his whole body.

"Then, let's try to see if this sun essence can help me complete the introduction of qi into the body!" Feeling the mystery of the sun essence, Gu Mo's confidence increased a little.

Tomorrow is the last deadline. If this sun essence cannot help him complete the introduction of qi into the body, then Gu Mo will be expelled from Qinglu Sect.

Taking a deep breath, Gu Mo swallowed the illusory sun in his hand in one gulp, and then entered the state of cultivation. The sun essence entered his body, and the warm feeling became more and more obvious. Gu Mo concentrated his mind to guide the sun essence to his dantian.

The guiding process was very smooth, but Gu Mo knew that the final result would depend on whether this sun essence could dispel the black light entrenched in his dantian.

Finally, the warm sun essence entered Gu Mo's Dantian, and then the black light in Gu Mo's Dantian quickly melted like ice and snow under the scorching sun.

"It's done!"

Seeing this, Gu Mo was overjoyed. After the sun essence dispelled the black light, it also successfully settled in Gu Mo's Dantian, and Gu Mo officially completed the introduction of qi into the body.

Although Gu Mo did not introduce spiritual energy in the conventional sense, the sun essence is a more powerful force than ordinary spiritual energy. Gu Mo who mastered this power will surpass ordinary cultivators in all aspects.

"Hu~~"

Gu Mo let out a long breath and ended his practice. Feeling the warm power constantly escaping from his Dantian, Gu Mo was excited. After completing the introduction of qi into the body, he officially embarked on the road of practice.

Of course, what surprised him the most was the sunflower obtained in the black fog space. The sun essence condensed in the sunflower is definitely a rare treasure. With this sun essence, it will definitely be of great help to his practice.

The next day.

Gu Mo slowly opened his eyes. The joy in his eyes had completely disappeared, replaced by helplessness. He thought that when the black light in his dantian disappeared, his cultivation would make great progress, but the results of this night's cultivation were still extremely disappointing.

"This inferior spiritual root is too slow to cultivate." Gu Mo shook his head. Successfully drawing Qi into the body could not change the quality of his spiritual root. It was just that without the obstruction of the black light, Gu Mo could already cultivate normally. It was this cultivation speed, definitely the level of inferior spiritual roots.

A correct version in 16-9 book and forum!

But when Gu Mo looked toward the window and saw the sunflowers swaying gently in the morning light, he felt a little more hopeful. The sunflowers could condense a portion of the sun's essence every day. With the help of this sun's essence, he could completely make up for his poor spiritual roots and slow cultivation speed.

Standing up and coming to the sunflowers, Gu Mo observed for a moment, stretched out his hand to grab the flowerpot, and the next moment the sunflowers in the window disappeared and were received by him in the black fog space.

Today is the March period. Those who have not yet completed the introduction of qi into the body will be expelled from Qinglu Sect. Those who have completed the introduction of qi into the body will enter the next stage of cultivation.

Because he was leaving, Gu Mo was worried that there would be some accidents if he left the sunflowers in the house, so he took them away directly.

"So there are so many people!"

When he arrived at the gathering point, Gu Mo saw hundreds of people gathered in the square. These were all the newly recruited errand disciples this year, selected from several nearby dynasties, and Qinglu Sect would recruit such errand disciples every one or two years.

The specific frequency depends on the demand for menial disciples. If the demand is high, it will be once a year, and if the demand is not high, it will be once every two years.

Glancing at the boys and girls who were chatting in groups of two or three, Gu Mo found a place to sit down. The original owner didn't have anyone familiar here, which was something Gu Mo was happy to see.

After waiting for a while, the familiar middle-aged man in green robe appeared, and the whole square fell into silence.
