Zuo Mo had thought that after two years, he already had a considerable understanding of this world. At the very least, he was quite familiar with the Eastern Floating Island. But a decorative waist belt that only had an "Heroic" symbol array could sell for such a price, and suddenly he felt that there were still many things he didn't understand.

  He quickly recovered from the shock of the crystal stone.

  Luo Mo came to himself and found that there were many more pedestrians on the street than before. Many people wearing strange clothes brushed past him, and at a glance, it was clear that they were outsiders.

  "Brother, there are a lot more people now. Has something big happened at Dongfu recently?" Zuo Mo asked a store employee who was standing at the door shaking a copper bell.

  The shop assistant secretly glanced at the various magic treasures on Zuo Mo's body, and hastily piled up a smile. He said respectfully: "Senior is unaware that all these people have come for the Eastern Floating Sword Meeting. This sword meeting has caused a sensation in the Tian Yue realm, and nearly all young masters with more than half a year of experience have gathered at Dong Fu." Then he flattered and spoke sincerely: "Although Senior is young, his strength is profound. If you want to go try it out, you will definitely return with honors."

  Zuo Mo suddenly realized that it was actually a Sword Testing Assembly, he had heard before that Dong Fu was going to hold a Sword Testing Assembly, but he didn't expect it to be on such a large scale, which made him quite surprised.

  Once he understood the situation, he lost interest. Trying to test his skills and such had nothing much to do with him, and a place where high-level cultivators gathered was not somewhere a Foundation Establishment stage like himself should be. Unless Wei Shi Shixiong went to participate, he would go watch; otherwise, he wasn't interested.

  Still earning crystal stones and practicing sincerely, he hummed a tune, sat on a paper crane, and swayed back to Wu Kong Mountain.

  He stepped into the small courtyard of Xifeng and stood still on the spot.

  A snow-white big bird, standing on his rooftop, preening its feathers, with an air of pride, just like a high-and-mighty princess, admiring itself in the mirror.

  These days, why have birds become so arrogant?

  He vaguely felt that this white bird was somewhat familiar, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't remember anyone in their sect having such a valuable and handsome bird. This large bird had a pure white body without a single stray feather, its beak presenting a blue color as clear as the sky, and it looked extremely human-like with a hint of spirituality. A mount like this would definitely not come cheap.

  Whose lost mount? Zuo Mo couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.

  The snowbird, who was preening its feathers, caught sight of Zuo Mo out of the corner of its eye as he appeared at the gate, and its body stiffened suddenly.

  This unremarkable little movement was caught by Zuo Mo, who first froze, then burst out scolding: "Silly bird, get down here!"

  It turned out that this was his own gray goose, but how did it become like this now? Zuomo secretly wondered in his heart, could it be the effect of the stone milk?

  The snowbird came down from the rooftop, ran in front of Zuo Mo, and affectionately rubbed against him.

  Zuo Mo's body hair stood on end: "Get away from me, mother bird!"

  The snowbird hung its head in a seemingly wronged manner.

  "Hmm, indeed it's molting. Hmm, its body shape has also become slightly larger." Zuo Mo circled around the Snow Bird twice, seeing that Zuo Mo was sizing him up, the Snow Bird immediately raised his head and puffed out his chest, striking a proud pose.

  At the sight of Xue Niao's expression, Zuo Mo was so angry that he slapped him on the head and scolded: "You almost ruined Ling Tian, do you know that?! I'm telling you, if you ruin Ling Tian even a bit, I'll pluck your feathers and stew you!"

  When Snowbird heard the two words "pluck hair", she was shocked and lost her color, with a pair of wings tightly covering her chest, and she retreated several steps.

  Seeing Xue Niao's so humanized action, Zuo Mo couldn't help but smile wryly. He didn't have anything to do with a silly bird anyway.

  "Just stay put and be honest."

  With an air of superiority unmatched, he casually dropped this sentence and walked into the house.

  His life finally returned to normal, after paying off the debt, the remaining crystal stones were once again quietly taken away by Pu Yao. Zuo Mo was also helpless about this, Pu Yao's methods were too clever, he didn't need to get Zuo Mo's agreement, nor was he afraid that Zuo Mo would hide the crystal stones somewhere, he could easily find them and then take them all away without any courtesy.

  When Zuomo discovered, Jing Shi had been gone for several days. In a rage, Zuomo ran to reason with Pu Yao, but each time he was defeated by Pu Yao's indifference.

  In the blink of an eye, he went from being wealthy to having nothing, and was so angry that he almost vomited blood.

  However, what made him feel slightly comforted was that, for some unknown reason, perhaps due to the effect of these crystal stones, the Sea of Consciousness's flames had recovered somewhat.

  Without the crystal stone, there was no room for trouble, and Zuo Mo had no choice but to live a simple life.

  The scarlet flowers in the spiritual garden are growing very well and will be ready to harvest soon. In comparison, the spiritual grasses he planted elsewhere have matured ahead of time, which is quite exciting for him. All these spiritual grasses were prepared by him for his new elixir recipe and were not intended for sale.

  Twenty mu of spiritual grass was enough for him to use alone. After harvesting all the spiritual grass and processing it, he obtained a large amount of spiritual grass, so much that he had to set aside a special room as a warehouse.

  He no longer needs to go to the Dan room to refine the elixir, with the Zhong Sun Huo, he can refine the spiritual elixir at any time and place. This is also why every cultivator who refines the elixir and equipment hopes to have a kind of fire. In addition, the Liu Huo Xin Yu array on the jade pendant, now refining the spiritual elixir for him is the biggest bottleneck in his cultivation. The foundation-building period cultivators can refine the highest second-grade elixir, to refine the third-grade spiritual elixir, must have the condensation period cultivation.

  Lemo without crystal stone, with great fighting spirit, simply does not go out of the main gate, and crazily refines elixir every day.

  Lian Gu Dan, Qu Xie Dan and Yi Shen Dan, under his frantic refining, the quantity skyrocketed. These low-grade spiritual pills didn't have any particularly outstanding effects, but Zuo Mo's approach was to prioritize quantity over quality, so he just refined them all indiscriminately.

  Two hundred Refining Bone Pills, two hundred Expelling Evil Pills, and two hundred Benefiting Spirit Pills. Zuo Mo used three gourds to separately store these pills.

  What surprised Zuo Mo was that he had unintentionally refined ten second-grade Bone Tempering Pills, eight second-grade Evil Expelling Pills, and ten second-grade Mind Calming Pills. These three types of spiritual pills were worthless as first-grade, but the second-grade could be sold for a good price. However, Zuo Mo didn't plan to sell any of them, and selling crystal stones would also result in being robbed by Pu Yao.

  After taking the Bone Refining Pill, he started running the Tombstone Edition of "Diamond Sutra". Indeed, there was a hint of medicinal power that merged into his body. And every time he took the Demonic Cleansing Pill to cultivate again, some black and gray stains would appear on the surface of his body. The effect of taking the Mind Nourishing Pill was the most obvious, and after each use, running "Fetal Breathing Cultivation" allowed him to clearly feel the medicinal power of the Lingdan being absorbed into his brain.

  Seeing this method is effective, Zuo Mo's head is filled with many spiritual pills. Every time before he cultivates, he frantically stuffs spiritual pills into his mouth.

  More than ten days have passed, and Jin Gang's "Golden Words" have achieved some success. On his chest, there is a faint golden thread. If he doesn't use his spiritual power, even the Water Drop Sword can't hurt him. His divine consciousness has made even more significant progress, and he has unknowingly broken through the boundary of four breaths. In the void of his sea of consciousness, four stars are scattered in an irregular pattern.

  It's all because of the medicine, he ate dozens of first-grade Lingdan, and the effect is almost zero. He had to eat those dozens of second-grade Lingdan. After eating the second-grade Lingdan, he deeply felt the huge gap between the grades. The effect of the second-grade Lingdan is more than ten times that of the first-grade!

  Each of the remaining types of One-Piece Spirit Dan had over a hundred left, but even if they were sold, they wouldn't fetch much crystal stone. These low-grade and niche Spirit Dans didn't have a market.

  He simply took the remaining spiritual pills and fed them to the silly bird and the black gold worm.

  The black gold worm eats the spiritual pill like a crisp pancake, crackling and popping, and the spiritual pill shrinks at a visible speed. The silly bird eats the spiritual pill like roasted beans, crunching and munching. Watching them eat so deliciously, Zu Mo sometimes gets hungry too, and also follows suit to use them as snacks, chewing on two pills when he has nothing better to do.

  After the silly bird transformed, Zuo Mo specially took it to be appraised. It is now a third-grade Blue Beak Snow Goose, its value increasing tens of times over. On the spot, someone asked Zuo Mo if he was willing to sell, offering two hundred third-grade crystal stones to buy it. Zuo Mo's heart was moved, but the silly bird saw this and quickly ran in front of him, pretending to be pitiful. It even used its wings to wipe away fake tears, making Zuo Mo laugh and cry at the same time. The surrounding onlookers were shocked, thinking that this bird was extremely intelligent, and the price immediately skyrocketed to five hundred third-grade crystal stones.

  However, Zuo Mo refused. It wasn't that he couldn't bear to part with this silly bird, but the crystal would only end up in Pu Yao's clutches if he handed it over. He looked at the silly bird's smug face as if speaking to himself.

  He put all his mind into cultivation. At first, in order to refine the Yin Fire Pearl, he used the "Whirlpool Absorbing Spirit Method" and found it quite practical, with an efficiency of absorbing spiritual energy far exceeding other heart methods. It's just that the spiritual energy absorbed in this way contains too many impurities, if you can think of a way to remove the impurities from the spiritual energy, your own cultivation will definitely increase rapidly.

  He suddenly thought of using Zhong Sun Huo to refine the Ling Dan, Zhong Sun Huo can refine the unnecessary impurities and obtain the required medicinal liquid.

  Perhaps you can use Zhong Sun Huo to remove impurities from your spiritual energy.

  The more he thought about it, the more feasible this method seemed.

  With nothing else to do, he began to try out this strange idea. As for trying new and unusual ideas, Zuo Mo had never been afraid. For example, the Golden Crow Pill, the Whirlpool Absorbing Spirit Method, the Sword Intent Fusion, etc., no one told him that it was possible, but he would always try it himself.

  Anyway, his own cultivation is low, even if he gets injured, it won't be serious, he often comforts himself like this.

  There are many problems involved here. Like how to use Zhong Sun Huo to refine, no jade slip has ever said that it can be used to refine spiritual energy with fire. Moreover, this refining process needs to take place within the body, and the spiritual energy is absorbed into the body through the meridians. In other words, the place where the spiritual energy is refined must be in his meridians. Zuomo was very skeptical about whether his fragile meridians could withstand the terrifying Zhong Sun Huo.

  He felt that this possibility was too small, which again involved a problem that must be overcome: the need to first strengthen one's own meridians to ensure that Zhong Li Huo would not harm one's own meridians.

  A string of extremely complex questions left Zuo Mo with a huge headache, and he actually felt a bit at a loss for what to do.

  At this moment, he suddenly thought of Chang Heng, who had been beaten to the ground and was searching for his teeth everywhere, and a surge of fighting spirit rose up in his somewhat disheartened heart.

  He gritted his teeth and muttered to himself: "Brother is vengeful!"
