Before the two of them had this spar, Li Yingfeng still had some doubts about Zuo Mo's level. Now her doubts have been greatly dispelled. In any case, having cultivated to the eighth level was among the top in the outer sect disciples. Moreover, this shidi should be like other outer sect disciples and chose to plant a spiritual field.

  Zuo Mo nodded: "This kind of weed has an extremely strong vitality, if I'm not mistaken, it's not suitable for cutting, the wound will only stimulate its growth. In other words, the more you cut it, the faster it will grow."

  The female disciples immediately started chattering and discussing among themselves.

  Li Yingfeng suddenly realized: "So that's it! No wonder it will grow more and more prosperous. If the roots are dug up, can they be completely cured?"

  "If we had used this method from the beginning, there shouldn't be any problem. But now, I'm afraid there are many weed seeds in the soil, and it's not easy to eradicate them."

  "What good advice does my junior brother have?"

  "I need to go back and think about it," said Zuo Mo.

  Li Yingfeng took out a small pouch and handed it to Zuo Mo.

  Zuo Mo took it with some doubt, opened it and was immediately stunned. Inside the bag were five second-grade crystal stones.

  "I bumped into my junior brother today, and I really feel guilty about it. Here are a few crystal stones to make up for it, don't think they're too little." Li Yingfeng stared at Zuo Mo.

  Zuo Mo was overjoyed in his heart and said with a smile, "Elder sister is being too polite." His hands naturally put the cloth bag into his bosom.

  Xiao Guo pouted, staring at Zuo Mo in shock. The other female disciples all had looks of disdain - this guy was too greedy!

  Li Yingfeng felt a weight lift off her shoulders, she didn't want to bear a grudge against such a promising junior brother because of today's misunderstanding. Five second-grade crystal stones weren't a small amount, but for someone from a wealthy family like hers, it wasn't too much either. Being able to resolve the misunderstanding with such a small price was, in her opinion, the most cost-effective solution.

  "Sister, don't worry too much, this trivial matter will be handled by your junior brother." Unbeknownst to him, the five second-grade crystal stones had an effect, and the female disciples felt that the despicable zombie man in front of them was full of fighting spirit.

  Li Yingfeng nodded and smiled: "Thanks, young master."

  She didn't have much expectation in her heart, if Zuo Mo really had a way, there was no need to say anything about going back to think.

  Zuo Mo didn't expect that today, while taking care of some trivial matters, he would unexpectedly gain five second-grade crystal stones. On one hand, he was moved by Li Ying Feng's kindness, and on the other hand, he was also moved by her generosity. The crystal stones in his hands had long been spent, leaving him with very few remaining, but just when he was struggling financially, a windfall came flying in, bringing him an unexpected surprise that made his whole body feel light and airy.

  As for those female disciples' disdainful gazes, he completely regarded them as air.

  Humming a tune, carrying a few weeds, leaving Dongfeng with joy.

  "This guy's face is really thick, I'm already wide-eyed with anger, and he doesn't even blush!"

  "You didn't see him taking the elder sister's pouch with that sly move!"

  "How disgusting..."

  ……

  Xiao Guo pouted, murmuring: "Shixiong is very good..." As she spoke, she seemed to feel that it wasn't quite right either, her voice gradually lowering until it was drowned out by the cacophony of criticism from the crowd.

  "Alright!" Li Yingfeng frowned and gave a soft shout, and the surrounding voices suddenly stopped.

  She gazed at the frail figure disappearing on the mountain path, lost in thought. She didn't reveal Luo Mo's true cultivation to these gossiping women; since they were so careful to conceal their intentions, she wouldn't foolishly create a powerful enemy by revealing it herself.

  Zuo Mo hastily ran back to his small courtyard, for if too much time passed, the spiritual pearl would lose its effect.

  Standing solemnly in the courtyard, a small emerald bead floated before him, spinning rapidly and endearingly. His hands clasped together in front of his face, his ten fingers swiftly changing and drawing, as ripples of spiritual energy faintly dissipated into the air once again.

  The essence of the plants and trees gradually melted, turning into a pool of emerald green water. As Zuo Mo's ten fingers danced wildly, their speed increasing with each passing moment, the tips of his fingers emitted a faint glow, and every time they streaked across at high speed, the afterimage formed by the light overlapped with the mysterious and abstruse pattern. The green water transformed into thousands of strands of fine, hair-like green silk, as if a group of demons were dancing wildly.

  "Go!" Zuo Mo shouted in a low voice.

  Green silk is like a heavenly maiden scattering flowers, each thread scattered into the spiritual field.

  Zuo Mo let out a breath and dispersed the spiritual energy from his fingertips.

  If we talk about the difficulty of the five elements, the "Wood Element" is the most difficult one. Not only are the changes in the law extremely complex, but the operation of spiritual power is also much more delicate than the other four elements.

  To practice fingerings, he sets aside two hours every day. Purely practicing fingerings is very dull, apart from not having a single mistake, continuity and rhythm are also crucial.

  His fingers, like a skull, were exercised to the point of almost breaking off, and he even felt like vomiting.

  However, he persisted and the first layer of the "Cao Mu Jue" did not stump him. As for the second layer, it was hopeless in the short term.

  Cultivate heart method, cultivate finger method, manage spiritual field and medicine field, life is fulfilling, and now also need to add research on how to weed.

  Li Yingfeng didn't have any expectations, but Zuo Mo wasn't just talking off the top of his head. He had made up his mind to find a solution to the problem.

  This is indeed a thorny issue. He was moved by Xiaoguo's helpless cry of "Mom" at first, and later Li Yingfeng's five second-grade crystal stones were a turning point.

  Zuo Mo has many shortcomings, but there is one thing: as long as he recognizes something, he will go all out. Whether it's for that "mom" or Li Yingfeng's five second-grade crystal stones, it doesn't matter to him.

  To be honest, he only has two years of experience in planting, and his knowledge of spiritual grass and spiritual valley is also pitifully lacking.

  He knew it wouldn't be easy, but he was fearless.

  Dong Feng, Li Yingfeng was listening to a female disciple's account.

  "We went to Dongfu and inquired, the price of spiritual grass has been rising recently. Like Qingjian Chu, it was only five pieces for one product crystal a while ago, now it's risen to eight pieces for one product crystal. The prices of other spiritual grasses have also risen a lot. They said that Tianxue Realm has been in turmoil lately, and the prices of spiritual valleys and spiritual grasses are skyrocketing everywhere."

  The female disciple said this with tears in her eyes. The other female disciples also looked gloomy and worried.

  Li Yingfeng's heart skipped a beat, but her face remained calm. One basket of spiritual grass required eight first-class crystals, and the amount needed by the breeding room every day was staggering. Even if her family was wealthy, they couldn't afford such extravagance.

  These days, she tried to eradicate these weeds by the roots. However, the growth of the spiritual grass showed no signs of improvement and continued to wither away day by day. In the spiritual field, the weeds sprouted up again at an alarming rate. At this rate, they would soon face a situation where there was no more grass to supply.

  "Sister Master, that greedy ghost came again last time!" a female disciple said with contempt.

  Does he still have the face to come?

  "He's forgotten what it's like to have a face."

  "That's also true!"

  ……

  Xiao Guo pouted her small mouth, her lovely apple face almost scrunched up into a ball, discontentedly staring at these senior sisters.

  Li Yingfeng's eyes lit up, and she almost rushed out. Her vision far exceeded that of her fellow disciples. If Zuo Mo had remained silent, it would have been normal. But this time he came to Dongfang again, Li Yingfeng suddenly remembered the words Zuo Mo said before he left last time.

  Could it be...

  When Li Yingfeng saw Zuo Mo, she was shocked.

  Zuo Mo's hair was disheveled, his eyes were bloodshot, and his eye sockets were sunken. His body emitted a strange smell, making him look like a beggar.

  Except for Li Yingfeng and Xiao Guo, all the other female disciples had a look of disgust on their faces and stood far away.

  "I've found a way." Zuo Mo's simplest sentence sent Li Yingfeng and Xiao Guo into a state of frenzied joy.

  Ignoring the suspicious and disdainful eyes of other female disciples, Zuo Mo walked straight towards Ling Tian.

  Without another word, he stretched out his skull-like hands and rapidly manipulated the magic seals.

  Li Yingfeng widened her eyes, afraid of missing a single detail. Zuo Mo's familiar finger movements and the ease with which he manipulated his spiritual energy made her even more certain that this junior brother was hiding his true abilities.

  Glowing fingertips drew out an unknown array pattern.

  "Go!"

  A hoarse voice, dry and unpleasant to listen to.

  The light array flew into the spiritual field, quietly and soundlessly.

  "Is this all? Nothing has changed!" a female disciple shouted in a shrill voice.

  This was like a fuse, instantly allowing other female disciples who had been deeply resentful of Zuo Mo to find an excuse to attack.

  "Cut it out, you think you can just scribble something and fool me? How naive!"

  "Come on, Mongolians should also be professional!"

  ……

  "Shut up, all of you!" Li Yingfeng shouted in anger, and all the voices stopped abruptly. It was discovered that at some point, Shifu's face had turned extremely ugly, her powdered face pale, and they were suddenly as silent as cicadas in winter.

  "This weed is positive, I checked it out, most of the spiritual grass you planted belongs to yin, and can be used with [Earth Qi Jue], gathering the yin of the earth's energy, not only can it nourish the spiritual grass, but also suppress the weeds, achieving twice the result with half the effort."

  After finishing speaking, Zuo Mo bowed his hands to Li Yingfeng and left with a long stride.

  Back in the small courtyard, Zuo Mo fell asleep as soon as he lay down.

  He did what he wanted to do and was satisfied. These days of sleepless nights have exhausted his energy.

  He woke up to find it was already the second day. The morning sunlight put him in a good mood, and he leisurely had something to eat, as usual, before starting his daily routine.

  Finger exercises were one of the lessons he focused on during this period. Before that, he rarely practiced finger techniques, and the finger technique of [Little Cloud Rain Formula] was very simple.

  It's precisely because of this that the complex finger techniques of the "Cao Mu Jue" have given him a hard time. Until now, he still practices diligently every day, but can only manage to complete the technique intact, and is still far from mastering it. As for the practice of the "Geng Jin Jue", he doesn't dare to slack off even slightly, having just broken through the second layer, and needing time to consolidate and stabilize.

  Roughly speaking, he has learned all five methods and has some of his own understanding.

  There are five types of Fa Jue, each with its own emphasis. The Xiaoyunyu Jue emphasizes the refinement and subtlety of one's spiritual energy, the Caomu Jue focuses on finger techniques, the Gengjin Jue stresses the importance of divine consciousness, the Digong Jue emphasizes communication and resonance, and the Chiyan Jue is key to quieting the mind and concentrating one's spirit with sustained effort.

  At this time, Zuo Mo suddenly felt a wonderful flavor. The five methods seemed unrelated, but they actually complemented each other. His strongest was the Small Cloud and Rain Method, which brought him great help in learning the other four methods. The complex finger exercises of the Grass Wood Method greatly improved his finger technique, making it even more natural for him to cast the Small Cloud and Rain Method.

  He took a look at his own spiritual field, and then gave the medicinal field in Leng Wu Valley some rain. He had no news of Hao Min's Shifu, nor did he know where the two of them had gone to have fun. However, he now had little psychological resistance to this unpaid job, and the only thing that made him resentful was that Leng Wu Valley was still a distance away from his residence, and he spent a lot of time on the road every day.

  When he returned from Cold Mist Valley, he was shocked to find two people guarding the entrance of his small courtyard.
