On the stone couch, Mo Anran sat calmly in meditation, motionless.

  A rich spiritual energy, through the Shenting, Xuanzhong and Yongquan three acupoints, entered his body. Especially the Shenting acupoint, the spiritual energy surged in, bringing a thread of coolness, an indescribable comfort. Since Zuomo completed one breath, the breathing through his mouth and nose had been weakened greatly. He can now only open up three acupoints, if he could reach the tenth breath realm, not only would all 361 acupoints on his body be opened, even the finest pores on his skin would be unobstructed, breathing in sync with heaven and earth.

  Of course, that's still far away for him. Although his spiritual consciousness has increased a lot, so far he hasn't found any use for it, what he needs now is spiritual energy, constantly increasing his spiritual energy in order to complete the foundation as soon as possible.

  Waking up from meditation, his left arm shot out like an arrow.

  The senior brother also didn't know how he was doing in the Sword Cave, and suddenly this thought popped up in Zuo Mo's mind.

  He actually envied the path his senior brother had chosen, which only required focusing on one thing. However, he was still clear-headed enough to recognize that his senior brother's path wasn't suitable for him, so he could only admire it from afar and continue doing what he needed to do. He always felt that when it came to swordsmanship, he didn't have much natural talent. If it weren't for the existence of the Pú Yāo, let alone achieving a state of sword intent, even reaching his senior brother's level would be impossible.

  His talent lies in the five elements.

  Apart from the "Geng Jin Jue" which was taught by Pu Yao, the other four techniques were all figured out by himself. Therefore, he is more enthusiastic about the Five Elements technique, and sometimes he can't help but think, could it be that he used to be a loose cultivator?

  Sanxiu likes the Five Elements Formula.

  But even if I were a loose cultivator, I'm afraid I would still be an unknown and live at the lowest level as a loose cultivator.

  But if so, why would he be transformed and recognized again? He clenched his fists involuntarily.

  He carefully retreated from the stone room, walked out of the cave entrance, and the sunlight outside made him squint. The warm sunshine made Zuo Mo's gloomy mood involuntarily brighten up a bit. Walking into the spiritual field, looking at the lush spiritual herbs, his mood improved again. A spiritual plant farmer is probably one of the most straightforward professions to illustrate the relationship between hard work and harvest. When you pay with your sweat and toil, the joy of an impending harvest fills life with hope. Even if life is as heavy as Old Black's head, at harvest time, it's also a joyful smile.

  Zuo Mo estimated in his heart that the new round of spiritual planting should have begun. The small courtyard he had previously occupied was given to Old Black, who had been eyeing those five mu of spiritual fields for a long time. If it weren't for Old Black, he wouldn't have gotten to know Wei Sheng as a senior fellow apprentice, and this relationship made his friendship with Old Black naturally different.

  Today, nothing happened on the left and right sides. Zuo Mo decided to go take a look at their thoughts. However, he didn't find anyone in the small courtyard, so he guessed that Old Black had gone to the fields and directly rushed over. Indeed, he found Old Black in the fields, along with Guo Lu. But yesterday's Guo Lu Shixiong had become today's Guo Lu Didi, which made him somewhat unaccustomed. Outer sect disciples, regardless of age or cultivation, must address inner sect disciples as Shixiong or Jiějie, this was the same in every sect.

  Lao Hei Tou saw Zuo Mo and couldn't help but reveal a look of surprise: "Little Mo Ge."

  Guo Lu's illness seemed to have recovered, and he was a bit awkward in his greeting: "Left Shixiong."

  Being called "Shixiong" by two people who are much older than himself, Zuo Mo felt very awkward, fortunately his face was stiff and didn't show any expression.

  "Lao Hei's spiritual valley is indeed solidly cultivated." Zuo Mo glanced around the spiritual field, couldn't help but praise, and casually pinched a spell seal. Suddenly, clouds floated in, and silvery threads flowed continuously. Lao Hei's face immediately showed joy, and Guo Lu's face involuntarily revealed an expression of admiration. The fourth layer of the "Small Cloud Rain Seal", few people can achieve it.

  Guo Lu had been resting in bed for some time, but he also heard about some major events in the sect from Lao Hei.

  Within a year, three outer door disciples became inner door disciples in succession. Such a grand occasion has never been seen before in our sect. All the outer door disciples were also greatly encouraged and inspired, leading to many of them working even harder and more diligently.

  Guo Lu carefully sized up this little junior brother, who was also the lowest-ranking inner disciple of their sect to date, a Qi Refining stage disciple who had not yet built his foundation! However, Junior Brother's reputation as a genius had spread far and wide, and he had even managed to obtain the Spring Bud Jade Plaque during the Qi Refining stage, something Guo Lu had never heard of before.

  He was skilled in "Geng Jin Jue", and although he had been working hard for years, he could not break through the third layer. Seeing that his junior brother had already become a spiritual plant husband, he couldn't help but feel a stir in his heart.

  Thinking of this, he couldn't help but envy Lao Hei Tou. Whether it was Wei Sheng Shixiong or Zuo Mo Xiaoshixiong, they both had a good relationship with Lao Hei Tou, and as the saying goes, "a rising tide lifts all boats", Lao Hei Tou was also very popular among the outer sect disciples nowadays. However, Lao Hei Tou was still down-to-earth and continued to cultivate Lingguo. Gu Lou was injured last time because he helped Lao Hei Tou, and during his recovery, it was also Lao Hei Tou who took care of him, so their relationship was extremely good.

  "These two earthworms are not very useful, but they can be used to turn the soil, which is quite practical." Zuo Mo handed each of them a small bamboo tube, with an earthworm sealed inside. He hadn't expected Guo Lu to be there too, but fortunately he had enough earthworms in his hand.

  The two of them hurriedly thanked each other repeatedly.

  Guo Lu saw Zuo Mo's intention to leave, hesitated for a moment, and finally couldn't help but speak up: "Younger brother, my 'Geng Jin Jue' has been stuck at the second level, I beg of you, older brother, to enlighten me. Guo Lu is eternally grateful."

  Zuo Mo was somewhat taken aback, but he still stopped in his tracks. Last time, Guo Lu had stepped out with determination and made him admire this seemingly old farmer of a senior brother even more. Now that his income no longer relied on Shi Yu and the like, there naturally existed no conflict of interest between them; on the contrary, if Guo Lu could break through to the third layer of the "Geng Jin Secret", he would also be able to help him share some of the burden of tasks such as exterminating pests within the sect.

  After understanding the various joints, he decided to help Guo Lu: "Killing insects is also killing, Jin Zhong kills and cuts, this 'Geng Jin Jue' also belongs to the way of killing and cutting. How to kill and cut? There are countless methods in this aspect, plus the Geng Jin Qi's changes are diverse, if you use other killing and cutting methods in it, you may be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort."

  Guo Lu listened carefully, afraid of missing a single word. After Zuo Mo finished speaking, he stood there in a daze, his face thoughtful as if he was thinking deeply about something.

  Seeing this, Zuo Mo floated away calmly.

  Leaving Linggu, he turned towards Dongfeng. Recently, there have been many changes, and even he felt like he was in a different world. The female disciples of Dongfeng originally intended to rely on him, but who would have thought that he would also become an inner disciple? Normally, it wouldn't be possible for him to come and take care of them again. However, since he had taken advantage of their kindness, the black gold worm was also a gift from them, so Zuo Mo decided to help them out as well.

  Xiao Guo saw Zuo Mo and his round apple face showed a surprised expression, he said timidly: "Shixiong!"

  That golden-horned copper cow continued to leisurely chew on the spiritual grass, ignoring Luo Mo as if he didn't exist.

  For this little girl, especially with her always timid expression on her face, Zuo Mo felt somewhat helpless.

  The last time he fainted, the little girl was scared but still protected him tightly. When he heard about it from others, he was very moved and felt that he owed her a favor.

  "What? You see I'm unhappy?" Zuo Mo decided to tease the little girl, his face originally expressionless, but with a slightly more serious tone of voice, suddenly became somewhat intimidating.

  Xiao Guo was suddenly frightened, her little head shaking desperately, her big eyes misting up, and she hastily defended herself: "No, no..."

  Zuo Mo immediately realized that if things continued like this, she would really cry, and suddenly regretted his actions.

  Isn't this just asking for trouble?

  He hastily relaxed his tone: "Alright, this time I came, there's something for you."

  The mist in Xiao Guo's eyes suddenly stopped, looking at Zuo Mo with some confusion and asking timidly: "What thing is it, Shixiong?"

  "This is some sword techniques, you take it to practice, and also can pass on to other sisters." He handed the little girl two jade slips, one of which was a basic sword technique he had picked out from the jade slip given by his senior brother Wei Sheng. At the same time, he took off the golden sword ring from his hand and handed it to her: "This is the Golden Sword Ring, which can store three sword auras, but you need to cultivate the Golden System Technique first. Hmm, there's a jade slip with the Five Elements Technique, when you reach the 'Geng Jin Jue' stage, you can use this treasure."

  After finishing all this, Zuo Mo also let out a sigh of relief. This muddled little girl always made him feel like he had a headache.

  The Golden Ring Sword is not very practical for him now, and he has made up his mind that he will not come down the mountain until he reaches the Foundation Building stage. Once he reaches the Foundation Building stage, if his master does not give him a flying sword, he can use the Ice Crystal Sword, which is much more powerful than the Golden Ring Sword. The jade slip containing the Five Elements technique is also useless to him now. He didn't originally plan to give the jade slip to Little Guo, but without practicing the Golden Technique, the Golden Sword Seal cannot be used either. As for the sword technique in Wei Sheng's jade slip, although it is simple, it is practical and a good defensive measure for disciples in the Refining Qi stage.

  Female disciples, especially those with relatively weak cultivation and from outer sects, will have a more difficult situation than male disciples.

  Zuo Mo couldn't divide his attention to take care of them like before, so he decided to pass on these things to them. This way, when they encountered some cultivators that weren't too strong, they wouldn't be completely helpless. If they encountered a powerful one, then he was also powerless.

  Fortunately, that disciple of Dong Xi Jian Men was expelled from Dong Fu last time and doesn't need to worry about running into this guy again in this area.

  After finishing speaking, Zuo Mo flipped over the back of the gray goose and waved goodbye to Xiao Guo without looking back, drifting away into the distance.

  Watching Zuo Mo disappear, Xiao Guo's hands grasped the Golden Sword Pendant and Jade Tablet tightly without realizing it.

  After finishing all that, Zuo Mo felt his body much lighter and directly rushed to the Xuan Fang Institute. At the end of the month, he still had to hand in five Spirit Traversing Pills. He didn't dare to slack off in front of this cold-faced Master, if he couldn't complete it, he would definitely be punished.

  Entering Dan Fang, he didn't start immediately. The materials were limited, and if he really wasted them all, he would be penniless and have no crystal to buy.

  Logically speaking, with his current cultivation level, refining the Bu Gu Dan shouldn't be a difficult task, after all this is just the most basic of elixirs.

  After deliberating for half a day, he felt that last time he should have been unable to control the input of his spiritual power well, wasting spiritual power in many places, resulting in insufficient spiritual power at the end.

  After thinking back and forth for a long time, I entered meditation first, letting my spiritual power recover to its best state.

  He has just started his second attempt.
