Plants vs. Cultivation

The item that Gu Mo was looking at was a rank 1 array plate, which was a prop for quickly setting up arrays, suitable for cultivators who did not know array formations. Moreover, the array plate in front of him was engraved with two array formations, the illusion array and the defense array.

Unfortunately, this array plate was damaged, with half of the array stones missing, and the array patterns on the array plate were also somewhat incomplete, so only one of the illusion array and the defense array could be activated.

However, the spirit stones required to activate the array plate did not decrease, which means that this array plate consumed the spirit stones of 2 array formations, but could only operate 1 array formation.

This defect was too fatal, resulting in the fact that the array plate, which was originally at least 1,000 spirit stones, was now only offered by the stall owner for 200. If there was no disadvantage of double consumption of spirit stones, this array plate could at least be regarded as an ordinary rank 1 array plate worth 400 to 500 spirit stones.

"Sell it for 100 spirit stones?"

After thinking for a moment, Gu Mo spoke.

The formation is Gu Mo's most urgent need besides concealing the secret art of cultivation. In particular, the illusion formation and defense formation on the formation disk are very suitable for arrangement in the spiritual field.

It is the best formation to conceal the existence of sunflowers. In addition, the formation can also prevent spiritual insects and spiritual beasts from invading and eating the spiritual plants in the spiritual field.

During the spiritual field planting this time, Gu Mo did not encounter many attacks from spiritual insects and spiritual beasts. The reason is very simple. Because some spiritual fields that have been stopped for cultivation have long been invaded by the spiritual insects hidden in them, but after the spiritual fields that have been stopped for cultivation are restarted, the breath of the spiritual plants will attract spiritual insects and spiritual beasts.

Therefore, Gu Mo's second season of spiritual field planting is likely to be eaten by spiritual insects and spiritual beasts. Although Gu Mo has mastered the Gengjin sword energy to deal with spiritual insects and spiritual beasts, this is all after the spiritual field is eaten. The best response is naturally to keep the spiritual insects and spiritual beasts out of the spiritual field.

The formation is the best means of protecting the spiritual field. The large spiritual fields in the valley of the Spiritual Plant Hall are protected by a large formation. Once there is a serious insect plague or rat infestation, the formation in the valley will be activated to keep all the insects and rats out to ensure the safety of the spiritual plants in the valley.

Gu Mo's spiritual field is outside the valley, and it is obviously not protected by the large formation. If there is an insect plague or rat infestation, there will be absolutely no harvest without protection.

Compared with the serious consequences of no harvest, the formation plate that consumes double the spirit stones is not unacceptable. After all, this should be the only formation plate that Gu Mo can afford at present.

In the store belonging to the sect formation peak, the ordinary formation plate of level 1 requires 500 spirit stones, which is obviously not affordable for Gu Mo.

"Not for sale!"

When the stall owner heard Gu Mo's bargaining, his fist hardened instantly, but after seeing the Qinglu Sect's errand disciple robe on Gu Mo, he suppressed his anger and replied coldly with two words.

In the major sects, menial disciples are like cattle and horses, but compared to independent cultivators, menial disciples are also disciples. In this market covered by Qinglu Sect, independent cultivators will naturally not conflict with the disciples of the sect.

"What about the 120 spirit stones?"

Gu Mo continued to ask tentatively. He really wanted this array plate.

Seeing that Gu Mo really wanted it, the stall owner also gave 20 spirit stones. In the end, Gu Mo took the array plate at the price of 180 spirit stones.

The 360 ​​spirit stones he just got were reduced by half, which made Gu Mo feel heartbroken, but he knew that this kind of expenditure must not be saved.

"I wonder if there is a second-hand magic weapon to buy." After getting a second-hand broken array plate, Gu Mo was somewhat looking forward to whether he could get another second-hand magic weapon.

But soon Gu Mo gave up this unrealistic idea. There are second-hand magic weapons, but the price is not much cheaper than the new ones. As for broken magic weapons, there are also broken magic weapons, but no one should choose broken magic weapons. This is a weapon for cultivators to defend themselves against enemies.

Fighting with a problematic magic weapon is like courting death. As for repairing the damaged magic weapon, the final price is better than buying a new one directly.

I didn't find a cheap second-hand magic weapon, but I got a formation plate this time, which is a small gain. I won't be at a loss when encountering insect plagues in the future.

"Huh?"

Just as Gu Mo was about to leave, he caught a glimpse of a stall selling spirit beasts. Of course, the stall only sold pseudo-spiritual beasts that have a chance to become spirit beasts.

Among ordinary beasts, there is a small probability that some reversion or special mutation individuals will appear. These are called pseudo-spiritual beasts by cultivators and have the potential to become real spirit beasts.

Therefore, some casual cultivators will collect such pseudo-spiritual beasts in the secular world and sell them in the market to earn spirit stones.

However, the pseudo-spiritual beasts that appear in such stalls are basically eliminated in one round, and those pseudo-spiritual beasts with excellent bloodlines have long been bought by others.

For example, the Beast Control Peak of the sect is the largest buyer of high-quality pseudo-spiritual beasts in this area. Buying these pseudo-spiritual beasts back and cultivating them into real spirit beasts through some special secret methods is a big profit.

You should know that the combat power of a real 1st-level spirit beast is absolutely not inferior to that of a cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage. If a cultivator has a spirit beast, the combat power will be doubled.

The cost of doubling the combat power is that the resources consumed will also be doubled. The cost of cultivating a spirit beast is no less than that of a cultivator of the same level. Only the rich and powerful dare not touch such luxury goods as spirit beasts.

Gu Mo can barely support himself now, so he naturally has no intention of raising spirit beasts, but the price of the fake spirit beasts on the stall is indeed very cheap.

These selected fake spirit beasts have a very low possibility of becoming real spirit beasts, so the price is also very cheap, and you can buy one for three or five spirit stones.

This price made Gu Mo's hidden thoughts emerge again. After obtaining the essence of the sun, Gu Mo had always had an idea in his mind that the essence of the sun could improve his cultivation speed, so whether it could also work for others.

It was absolutely impossible to find a cultivator to test it. The essence of the sun was Gu Mo's biggest secret. If it was a spirit beast that he could fully control, it would definitely be worth trying.

A correct version was found in the 16-9 book forum!

In case it works, cultivating a spirit beast would definitely be a great enhancement for Gu Mo's combat power.

"Brother, take a look at this spirit beast. This is a spirit beast that contains a trace of the blood of the Howling Moon Wolf." Seeing that Gu Mo was interested in the pseudo-spiritual beast on his stall, the stall owner immediately introduced it enthusiastically.

"It doesn't matter if you don't like this. Look at this red sparrow, which is said to be the descendant of the mythical beast Suzaku." Seeing that Gu Mo was not interested in the big dog he introduced, the stall owner quickly pointed to a red sparrow in the cage.

Gu Mo ignored the stall owner's nagging. This kind of rhetoric can't even fool a child, but you really can't refute the other party. Xiaoyue Tianlang is the ancestor of wolves, and Zhuque is the king of birds. You are right to say that this big dog and red sparrow contain their blood.

Anyway, it's an experiment, so you can choose any pseudo-spiritual beast.

Quickly scanning the pseudo-spiritual beasts on the stall, Gu Mo's eyes fixed on a red koi the size of a forearm in the basin. It's not that this red koi is special, but it's a water-based pseudo-spiritual beast.

Most of the water-based spirit beasts can master the spell of Xiaoyunyushu, which is the spirit beast version of Xiaoyunyujue. If this experiment is successful, Gu Mo will cultivate a water-based spirit beast, then Gu Mo will not have to use Xiaoyunyujue to water the spirit field every day, and can completely leave this job to the spirit beast.

In this way, even if Gu Mo leaves for a few days temporarily, he doesn't have to worry about the spirit field being unattended.

"Brother, you have a good eye. This koi contains the blood of a real dragon. Once it jumps over the dragon gate..." Seeing Gu Mo's eyes sweeping towards the red koi in the basin, the stall owner hurriedly introduced it to Gu Mo.

"What's the price?"

Gu Mo interrupted the stall owner.

"3 spiritual stones!"

Seeing that Gu Mo really wanted to buy, the stall owner naturally shut up and gave a very concise price. He was talking so much just to sell these fake spiritual beasts that no one wanted.
