Li Yingfeng stood guard at his door with Xiaoguo.

  Seeing Zuo Mo, Li Yingfeng obviously let out a sigh of relief, and Xiao Guo's apple face showed an embarrassed expression.

  Zuo Mo was slightly surprised. How did these two come here? He smiled and said, "Sister is actually free to visit my humble abode today, it's rare! Please come in!"

  With a flick of his sleeve, he secretly activated his magic spell, and the courtyard door opened silently.

  Li Yingfeng didn't decline either, and said generously: "I came uninvited, I'm disturbing you!"

  Xiao Guo closely followed behind Li Yingfeng, her small face always looking timid.

  Zuo Mo muttered to himself, his brother didn't have much interest in Huang Mao's daughter.

  As she walked into the yard, Li Yingfeng saw the lush Linggu in the yard and was suddenly enlightened. She couldn't help but praise: "My younger brother is skilled in planting, as can be seen from this sprout. The growth of this Linggu is enviable, a bumper harvest is just around the corner!"

  "Sister Shī's praise is excessive, excessive." Zuǒ Mò responded casually, pondering the purpose of Lǐ Yīng Fēng's visit today. For this sister who he hadn't interacted with much before, he still had a lot of admiration. Not to mention other things, just her cultivation of nine layers of Qi refinement was enough to make her stand out among the outer sect disciples. Moreover, her straightforward and generous style also suited Zuǒ Mò's temperament.

  Three people sat down under the tree by the pond in the courtyard, distinguishing between host and guest. The water in the pond was rippling, occasionally a few green fish could be seen playing among them. When Zuo Mo first moved in, the pond was dry and bottomless, now the water in the pond was all collected by him practicing "Small Cloud Rain Technique", bit by bit. He remembered very clearly that when the pond water was full, his "Small Cloud Rain Technique" had just broken through the third layer.

  As for those few green fish, he picked them up by hand when he passed through the mountain stream.

  Li Yingfeng proactively explained the purpose of her visit: "This time, I came to thank my junior brother. The method he mentioned, we tried it and found it extremely effective. In this line of work, there are specialized areas of expertise. Indeed, such a thorny issue requires someone like my junior brother who is well-versed in planting to resolve the problem."

  "Yes, yes! It's very effective! Everyone is very happy!" Xiao Guo hastily chimed in, but when she saw Zuo Mo turn his face back, she immediately fell silent and shrank her body towards Li Yingfeng.

  Zuo Mo withdrew his gaze and shook his head: "Sister is too polite, we're all from the same school, no need to mind this small matter."

  Li Yingfeng smiled and said, "Younger brother's words are very good. In the future, if younger brother encounters any difficulties or obstacles, just come to find me, older sister will help as much as she can, and absolutely won't decline."

  "Thanks, sis." Zuomo replied casually. Past experiences told him that this kind of talk generally shouldn't be taken seriously.

  Li Yingfeng's eyes stared intently at Zuo Mo, saying seriously: "This time I've come, it's for another matter that I want to ask my younger brother for help."

  The flesh has arrived!

  Zuo Mo did not change his expression and said: "I don't know what's going on."

  In fact, he can't even move his voice and expression...

  "The method of the younger brother is extremely effective." Li Yingfeng immediately showed a bitter smile: "But among this group of sisters, only one person knows the [Earth Energy Technique]. The younger brother doesn't know that due to the weeds recently, the output of spiritual grass has been pitifully small. However, the number of spiritual grasses required by the spiritual beasts every day hasn't decreased in the slightest. Originally, I planned to go to Dongfu to buy some spiritual grass as an emergency measure, but now the price of spiritual grass in Ling Valley has skyrocketed..."

  Upon hearing this, Zuo Mo's spirits lifted. The rise in prices of spiritual plants was undoubtedly good news for him.

  Not to mention the fifty mu of spiritual land rented from the school, just his five mu of spiritual valley in the courtyard, the yield is also quite considerable.

  Made it this year!

  He was somewhat excitedly thinking in his heart and didn't hear clearly what Li Yingfeng was saying.

  Li Yingfeng noticed Zuo Mo's distraction and couldn't help but think of the rumors she had heard about him.

  Suddenly, a formidable junior brother appeared, bringing her a huge shock. As soon as Zuo Mo left, she inquired about him everywhere. Not only did she learn that Zuo Mo was born with an undead face and the third-level "Small Cloud Rain Technique", but also roughly figured out some of his habits and style.

  She abandoned the pleasantries and directly threw out her trump card: "This time, I've come to ask my junior brother to help us get rid of some weeds. Here are ten second-grade crystal stones, consider them a token of our goodwill, please accept them."

  Another small pouch appeared in her hand.

  As expected, Zuo Mo suddenly came back to his senses with a jolt.

  Ten pieces of second-grade crystal stone...

  His saliva almost flowed down, and last time he sold three hundred catties of Linggu Valley, he only got thirty second-class crystals.

  Zuo Mo hesitated for a moment before saying, "I'm not proficient in the [Earth Energy Technique], I'm afraid there's not much I can help with."

  Li Yingfeng thought Zuo Mo was just being polite, if he wasn't skilled, how would he think to use the "Earth Energy Technique" to get rid of the weeds?

  "This time she was well-prepared and not in a hurry, smiling: "In addition to these ten second-grade crystal stones, we have also prepared five second-grade crystal stones for our junior brother to recover his spiritual power, hoping to restore the supply of spiritual grass as soon as possible."

  Zuo's brain was completely stunned by Li Yingfeng's crystal attack.

  Crystal is the most important resource for each faction, apart from being able to buy things, another important use is to restore spiritual power. The spiritual power density of the spiritual vein cannot be compared with crystal.

  In some major sects, those core disciples were all piled up with crystal stones. Their daily homework was to extract spiritual power from the crystal stones and increase their cultivation.

  Zuo Mo had never tried extracting spiritual energy from crystals before. He was a poor ghost, how could he bear to?

  The enemy's offensive is too powerful! He immediately surrendered and responded with a loud voice: "Since the master has an order, as a junior brother, he naturally goes to the boiling water and fire, without hesitation!"

  Li Yingfeng smiled and the strategy finally worked. She subtly placed the small pouch on the table, looking at Zuo Mo: "I don't know when my junior brother will set off?"

  Zuo Mo quickly put the small pouch into his bosom and said solemnly, "The situation is so critical, naturally the faster the better."

  Little fruit flattened little mouth.

  Following Li Yingfeng, Zuo Mo was constantly recalling the key points of the Earth Energy Technique. During this period, most of his energy had been spent on the Metal and Wood Techniques, and after roughly practicing the Earth Energy Technique, he hadn't spent too much time on it.

  He never expected that this "Earth Energy Technique" would actually be directly linked to the fifteen second-grade crystal stones. What's the point of practicing techniques, if not for the crystal stones? He was extremely regretful in his heart, and if he had known earlier, he would have practiced it with all his might.

  They soon arrived at Dongfeng. The female disciples all quietly stood aside, no one speaking a word.

  Although he had never paid attention to them in his heart, the completely different treatment from last time still made him secretly pleased.

  "There are about 450 mu of spiritual fields that grow weeds, and the situation is more serious in about 250 mu." Introduced by Li Yingfeng.

  On his left, a vast expanse of land stretched out before him, two hundred and fifty mu, a number that shocked him!

  The effect of the "Earth Qi" technique is much smaller, only about one mu in size. Moreover, he has tried using his first-level "Earth Qi" technique and found that it needs to be used at least three times in a row to effectively suppress the growth of this damned weed.

  That is to say, he must have practiced the "Earth Qi" technique at least 750 times...

  The calculation result made him dizzy and almost fainted. This number was enough to exhaust him to death in the spiritual field.

  Originally thought it was a fat job, but unexpectedly, it's a bitter job! From heaven to hell, the strong contrast almost made Luo Mo cry.

  Zuo Mo gazed at the Spirit Field below his feet, where weeds grew in profusion. The few mu of Spirit Field had almost completely been taken over by weeds, making it hard to spot any Spirit Grass. With such luxuriant weeds, he estimated that even with his basic Earth Energy Technique, it would take seven or eight attempts to be effective.

  At this moment, he suddenly had an epiphany and a brilliant idea flashed in his mind.

  Since these spirit fields are almost all weeds, why not wipe them out and replant with spirit grass.

  The Cauldron of Wood and Earth, isn't this tyrannical technique suitable for this situation? The Cauldron of Wood and Earth not only absorbs the essence of wild grasses, but also won't let go of the seeds mixed in the soil. It extracts the essence of wood and earth, not spiritual energy, so it doesn't harm the Spiritual Fields at all.

  The more he thought about it, the more excited he became, and he told Li Yingfeng about this idea. When Li Yingfeng learned that Zuo Mo also knew the "Wood and Tree Technique", she was slightly startled in her heart, thinking to herself that this younger brother Zuo Mo was indeed not an ordinary person.

  The more I think about it, the more I feel that Li Yingfeng, who is not an ordinary person, will naturally not have any objections, and instead, she will feel hopeful this time.

  She was also under tremendous pressure this time, and nearly all of her crystal stones were spent on the fifteen second-grade crystal stones.

  He quickly ran through it again in his mind and was certain that there shouldn't be any problems, so Zu Mo decided to take action.

  Palms slightly apart, empty and placed in front of the chest, fingertips emitting a faint glow, taking a deep breath, ten fingers suddenly move!

  Everyone only felt that within a space of ten fingers, threads of light intersected each other, like a rainbow and a painting, making people's eyes dizzy and confused. On everyone's face, there was only an expression of shock left.

  It was only then that they realized this seemingly lifeless senior brother was extraordinary!

  Fingers flowing with dazzling dance, those thin hands, as if having a kind of magical charm, involuntarily attracted everyone's attention.

  The intricate patterns have become incredibly complex, but the dancing fingers still haven't stopped!

  Even Li Yingfeng's face couldn't help but change slightly!

  What a complicated finger technique! What kind of skill is this, that requires such complex fingerwork?

  She didn't know that because of its complexity, the "Cao Mu Jue" is the most difficult among the five methods, and also has the least learners.

  Innumerable emerald green threads rose from the spiritual field and drilled into Zuo Mo's palms. Unlike his usual self-control, Zuo Mo was completely unbridled this time. Without a hint of his usual cautiousness, his ten fingers danced freely, fully mobilizing his spiritual power.

  Gradually, a very strange feeling arose in my heart, as if something was gently beating.

  Subconsciously, the frequency of his ten fingers accelerated, and the pulsating sensation in his heart grew stronger. Everything around him seemed to rapidly move away, becoming ethereal and transparent, as if standing in a void, quietly observing. The subtle connection between his dancing fingers, the rhythm of spiritual energy changes, also gradually emerged from being hidden under the water, faintly visible.

  It's as if a sheet of window paper has been poked through, suddenly becoming bright and clear.

  The awkwardness of Zuo Mo's finger technique disappeared in an instant, and his ten fingers seemed to be covered with water, slipping exceptionally smoothly, flowing freely like clouds and water. Among all the female disciples, Li Yingfeng's cultivation was the highest, and her eyes were also the most venomous. She was the first person to see through it. If one were to say that she was just admiring Zuo Mo's intricate finger technique earlier, now she had a completely different feeling. The finger technique was still gorgeous, but it didn't have that deep and mysterious aura, instead, it added a touch of wonderful rhythm.

  Xiao Guo's eyes were wide with wonder, and on her small apple face, a look of enchanting cuteness appeared.

  A thread of emerald green gas rose from the weeds and spiritual grass in the Spiritual Field, and was frantically absorbed by Luo Mo's ten fingers, as if they were the center of a whirlpool.

  The green gas on Zuo Mo's hand grew thicker and thicker, and soon a jade-green Grass Wood Spirit Pearl appeared at his fingertips.

  A stretch of withered yellow fields, without a hint of green, swept by the wind, ash-like dust swirling down.

  In the blink of an eye, the once thriving Spirit Field has become a desolate land.

  Everyone's face was shocked, and their gaze at Zuo Mo was as if they had seen a ghost.

  Li Yingfeng was also shocked beyond measure. If the gorgeous finger movements had dazzled her earlier, then the astonishing effect before her eyes would only make her heart involuntarily filled with fear!

  Is he really in the Qi Refining stage?

  She suddenly felt some doubt.
