Chapter 557: Sow good causes and reap good fruits
"Spiritual Plant Atlas" records:
Shan Guo, also known as good fruit, grows in the earth spirit [flesh and blood].
When ripe, the fruit looks like coral, hence the name Shan fruit.
It is also named because of its special function - planting good causes and getting good results.
Regardless of the growth conditions and growth cycle, the dense layer of seeds in front of him made Chen Mo take two steps back precisely because of its function! Or an alias.
Sow good causes and reap good results. It seems to be a simple six words, but it is very confusing.
But there is a sentence recorded in the version of "Spiritual Plant Atlas" in "Nongshen": If evil deeds continue, good results will not be achieved!
According to Chen Mo's understanding, after planting the shan fruit, there may be some connection with this spiritual plant. As long as any evil deeds occur, the shan fruit will wither on its own.
And this Shan Guo’s so-called earth spirit [flesh and blood] is not someone else, but himself!
That is to say, good fruits should be planted in one's own body. As you do good deeds and accumulate virtue, the fruits will become stronger and stronger. Once you do evil, the fruits will gradually wither.
The most special thing is that although Shanguo is a fourth-level spiritual plant, it can only be planted by the Nascent Soul.
But once it grows up, it is no longer limited to the fourth level.
To what extent it can grow depends entirely on the monk himself!
If it is to transform into a god, it is the fifth level; if it is to refine the void, it is the sixth level...if it is to transcend tribulation, it is the ninth level!
The good fruit is equivalent to planting another spiritual root in the monk's body, which is independent of the tangible roots such as gold, wood, water, fire, thunder, and ice.
Let monks practice and get twice the result with half the effort.
Moreover, as long as you continue to accumulate virtue and do good deeds, this effect will become stronger and stronger, and the monk's strength will also become stronger and stronger!
But if you simply think that this is another way of breaking through the shackles after Nascent Soul, it would be a big mistake.
Just like the last line in the Shanguo Illustrated Book - Who will decide the difference between good and evil?
What is good and what is evil? It cannot be defined at all.
Those monks who try to replace spiritual roots with good fruits end up going crazy between good and evil!
Chen Mo took a deep breath and took out the pieces of paper from the box.
The above records the cultivation methods and results of Shanguo, which can be said to be an exact copy of the contents of the "Spiritual Plant Atlas".
However, there are only a few sentences recorded in the "Nongshen Shen" version!
If it were other monks who gave this fruit to Chen Mo, he might not think much about it, but what if the other monk was General Pingduzhou? He would have to doubt the other party's intentions!
Although there are not many fourth-level spiritual plants, there are dozens of them, and the other party just sent Shan Guo.
The intention is probably obvious!
“None of the generals in Pingduzhou are simple.”
How can you be in this position without some means?
Chen Mo could foresee that if he really planted good fruits for himself, he might not be able to escape from the opponent's clutches in the future!
He put the lid back on.
He casually threw the jade box into the corner of the storage space. Perhaps without special circumstances, he would not take out this "evil" thing again.
There are four fourth-level spiritual plants, and the last one is left.
Chen Mo took it out and opened it, only to see that the entire jade box was filled with seeds as big as a fingernail.
With just one glance, he recognized that it was Tiandi Xuanhuang, Tianyu Dao rice among the four spiritual rice.
This rice is crystal clear, like mutton-fat jade. Its planting method is very simple: fourth-level spiritual field, watering, insect removal, almost indistinguishable from ground vein bamboo and rice.
And its function is also very simple: to provide the spiritual energy for cultivation after Nascent Soul.
Plays the same role as Spirit Crystal!
It is even said to be easier to use than Spirit Crystal!
After all, the spiritual energy transformed by spiritual plants is easier to refine.
But the yield is pitifully small. Even the fourth-level spiritual field only has a pitiful fifty kilograms per acre.
The breeding rate of fourth-level spiritual rice, even if one has practiced the Qi Crossing Technique to the transformation state, is probably only 1% possible!
The yield of one acre of land is 50 kilograms. Even if it is all converted into seeds, it will only be about 5 taels.
The Tianyu rice seeds needed to grow one acre of land cost two kilograms!
It is simply a situation that cannot be mass-produced.
Chen Mo thought about it for a while. The general knew that he had the magical power to [increase production], but even so, the yield of Tianyu Daomi must reach 200 kilograms per mu in order to maintain balance.
But what if we add a six-year growth cycle?
"The four fourth-order spiritual plants seemed to be given, but in fact they were not given." Chen Mo smiled mockingly to himself.
He knew very well that if it were any spiritual planter, even if he was in the Nascent Soul realm, if these seeds were given to him, he would probably not be able to successfully plant them.
From beginning to end, this was the general's plan.
It’s still a conspiracy!
An irrefutable conspiracy.
If Chen Mo came to the door with these seeds, the other party would also throw out a sentence, which is how fourth-level spiritual plants would fight him back.
Are all fourth-level spiritual plants like this? That kind of thing can't be done by your Ling Zhifu!
But the good thing is that with the [Breeding] talent bonus, even the fourth-level spiritual planting success rate can reach about 10 to 1, plus 10 times [Increase Yield] and 4 times [Ripening] 】, within three years at most, Tianyu Daomi can be cultivated on a large scale and harvested in large quantities.
And these three years are exactly the time when Chen Mo seizes all the time to attack Nascent Soul!
"Not bad! At least the path after Nascent Soul has been solved for the time being."
Although it stands to reason that he should have been "disposed" by the general, Chen Mo was in a good mood at the moment.
The path of spiritual practice is slow, but as long as you are still moving forward.
If people like Ye Longzi and others, even if they rushed to the realm of Yuanying early with their extreme talents, they could only stop at the first and second floors of Yuanying due to the blockade of the General's Mansion. So sad!
After putting away the Tianyu Daomi, Chen Mo counted it with his fingers.
There is still half a year until the fifty acres of third-level spiritual fields in Motai Peak mature, and he cannot do anything to destroy the crops just to plant fourth-level spiritual plants.
He thought for a while, then took out the map again and looked at it carefully.
"Judging from the four spiritual plants given, the other party should expect that they can only grow Tianyu Daomi..." Chen Mo gestured on the map with his finger, "There are about a hundred acres of fourth-level spiritual fields here. It’s not very far from Mount Motai..."
Soon, he changed his mind.
Since the other party wanted him to plant Tianyu Daomi on that piece of land, he just didn’t plant it now!
The land has been given to him anyway, so it’s not up to him to decide what to plant?
Motai Peak has 50 acres of third-level spiritual fields, and after [Ju Ling] there is 50 acres of fourth-level spiritual fields, which are more than enough to grow earth-center sparks and Tianyu Daomi!
"In that case, I'll go there!"
After Chen Mo decided, he spent two days finishing the secular affairs of the Immortal Sect, and set off for the hundred acres of spiritual land given to him by the general.
After arriving at the place, he controlled the puppet to plow the land, and planted third-level spiritual rice - Earth Vein Bamboo Rice in the one hundred acres of spiritual field!
