His cold-faced master had no intention of coming out of Danfang at all.

  With the crystal stones in hand, Zuo Mo decided to focus on cultivating his dan-making skills. At the very least, he shouldn't have any issues with success rates for basic dan medicines like the Bitter Valley Pill. He bought materials from Shi Qing and started practicing making the Bitter Valley Pill non-stop. His income and expenses were basically balanced, but Zuo Mo faced the biggest problem of trying to avoid failure. One failed attempt at making the pill would mean losing three second-grade crystal stones.

  His proficiency has greatly improved, and the refining process has been drastically shortened from five hours to three hours. However, the cost is also enormous, he spent more than 20 second-grade crystal stones, all of which were wasted due to failure. But thinking about the future, he can only grit his teeth and accept it.

  Today is the last material, if the refining is successful, it just happens to owe three second-grade crystal stones to Master Sister Xu Qing. These days have been mixed with Master Sister Xu Qing, buying medicine materials and refining medicine every day, now she can also lend money.

  Zuo Mo didn't want to owe external debt, so after he finished refining this batch of Revolating Spirit Pills, he planned to take a break and wait for the spiritual medicine in the spiritual fields to mature. Although there was only one set of materials, he wasn't anxious. These days of high-intensity repeated refinement had made him very familiar with the process of refining Revolating Spirit Pills. He didn't know if it was because of his divine sense, but now his brain seemed to be much more useful. It hadn't been weak before, but it would always make him feel a bit cloudy and foggy, whereas now he felt like he had broken through the clouds and fog.

  Is practicing "Fetal Breathing" really going to make people smarter?

  This idea is too absurd, even Zuo Mo thinks it's ridiculous and throws it aside.

  As usual, Zuo Mo threw various medicinal materials into the dan furnace and stuck his hands on the eight trigrams disk to start refining. His divine sense was especially sensitive to changes in spiritual energy, and he could occasionally even feel the changes in the spiritual energy of the medicinal materials in the furnace - some were activated, some flashed by, and some gradually dissipated...

  Although he was already very familiar with the Biegu Wan, every time the spiritual power of the medicinal materials changed and fluctuated, it still made him involuntarily focus intensely.

  Unconsciously, his spirit became somewhat dazed, and the hands stuck to the Bagua plate suddenly changed their posture as if possessed.

  A pale golden light descended from the sky and fell into his hand, bending towards the alchemy furnace.

  After half a day, he gradually regained his senses. When he saw the golden thread, he was stunned and wondered how he had activated the "Chi Yan Jue".

  He immediately had an epiphany, damn it! Don't ruin this furnace of elixir! He still owed Xǔ Qíng Shījiě three second-grade crystal stones, and if this furnace was ruined, he would truly be in debt.

  Shen Zhi looked through the alchemy furnace and found nothing unusual inside. Suddenly, Zu Mo's heart skipped a beat, and he hastily opened the alchemy furnace.

  A green Dan Dong lay quietly, Mo's heart relaxed, it seemed that it hadn't gone to waste. He picked up the Bie Guo Wan and was about to put it in his pouch when he suddenly caught a glimpse of a golden light out of the corner of his eye. At first, he was stunned, then he hastily brought the Bie Guo Wan in his hand to his eyes for a closer examination.

  Only upon closer inspection did I discover that this pellet of spiritual energy was slightly different from the ones I had refined previously. The color was a deep green, rather than pale green, and upon closer inspection, one could see that it contained tiny golden threads scattered throughout, which was where the flash of gold light that Lao Mo had caught earlier came from. Moreover, the weight of it in my hand was slightly heavier than ordinary pellets of spiritual energy.

  Is this still Biegu Wan? Zuo Mo was uncertain in his heart.

  Eat it to try, Zuo Mo didn't dare. Throwing it away was also reluctant, selling it to Xu Qing's sister, Zuo Mo was afraid of harming others again. He knew that this change must have been caused by accidentally using the "Red Flame Incantation". In theory, the "Red Flame Incantation" is supposed to absorb the essence of Taiyang, its nature is fire, and it shouldn't be harmful.

  After thinking for half a day, he still decided to keep the Dan medicine and wait until his master came out of the Dan room to ask him about it.

  The master has been in the dan room for over ten days, and the door of the dan room has always been tightly closed. Sometimes Zuo Mo couldn't help but think, are all the powerful cultivators who practice alchemy like this?

  The task of refining the elixir was completed early, and Master also didn't show any signs of coming out of the elixir room for half a day. Zuomo decided to stick to his own practice. The five methods of Lingzhi's husband, under current conditions, he has already practiced to the end, if you want to go further, you need to have the jade slips behind.

  Apart from practicing finger techniques every day to avoid getting rusty, he spent the rest of his time cultivating "Fetal Breathing" and tempering his sword intent.

  He didn't know if the word "tempering" was a common saying, but he thought it was very vivid. Now his sword intent is only slightly formed, like a sword embryo, and needs to be constantly tempered and polished to become a treasure sword. The sword intent of Xin Yan Shifu was deeply imprinted in his mind, under that shocking sword intent, he had died countless times.

  All he needs to do is to imitate his master's sword intent with all his might. Even if he can't make it godlike, at least he should be able to make it look like it, so that he can bluff people.

  He had made up his mind that unless absolutely necessary, he would not take action. Even Yu Bai could see through his own intentions, let alone if it fell into the eyes of Master and Master Shu, it would be strange if they didn't suspect anything. Master Xin Yan had never taught him before, and when asked, the existence of Pu Yao was likely to be hidden. Just thinking about Master Xin Yan's cold and piercing gaze made Zuo Mo feel like he had a thorn in his back.

  No matter which sect, stealing from one's master is absolutely a heinous crime.

  Zuo Mo is now regretting his actions after taking out the Eastern Floating Island, who would have thought that Yu Bai's eyes were so sharp, and he actually saw through the origin of this sword intent.

  But now it's too late for regrets. When the soldiers come, we'll defend ourselves; when the flood comes, we'll hide behind the earth. A bare foot isn't afraid of wearing shoes. He instead practiced even more diligently.

  He couldn't wield the flying sword, so he could only use the "Geng Jin Jue" to operate it. He practiced diligently and seriously, practicing some basic sword techniques in the jade slip given to him by Wei Sheng Shixiong. In the past, he didn't feel anything, but now that he had a slight understanding of the sword's meaning, Zuo Mo discovered that these basic sword techniques were extremely important despite being simple. That was why he went back and re-cultivated these most basic sword techniques again.

  Before this, Zuo Mo had never cultivated a sword, and was a complete blank slate in this area. After being hacked at countless times by Pu Yao using Xin Ruo's sword intent, he finally gained some understanding. However, his foundation was too poor, and even though he had gained some insight, it was like a floating water lily without roots, and if not solidified, this bit of spiritual sense would quickly wear off.

  It was precisely because of this that he turned back now to cultivate these most basic sword techniques.

  These most basic sword techniques, all of which were summarized by Wei Sheng in countless bloody battles, are solid and effective. Zuo Mo, who has grasped a hint of the sword's intent, can view these basic techniques from an even higher level, and learning them is naturally extremely fast. And these basic techniques can fill up the gaps in Zuo Mo's foundation.

  West Wind Yard, on the left, Mo was alone practicing these basic sword moves.

  The sword technique is simple and can be learned quickly, but Zuo Mo practices it repeatedly with an obsessive enthusiasm.

  Before meeting Pu Yao, before Wei Wuxian, his best skill "Little Cloud and Rain" was honed to this point. As for epiphanies, he never expected them; in his view, nothing was more practical than skills that were ground out bit by bit.

  The more beautiful and exquisite things are, the more dullness and loneliness there are behind them.

  "Tai Xi Lian Shen" cultivation also requires a harmonious coordination of the heart and hands, with spiritual energy steadily increasing. In comparison, the growth of divine consciousness is much more rapid. He was like an ascetic practitioner, with every moment of his daily schedule arranged to the fullest, not willing to waste any time.

  Fortunately, during this period of time, that damned madwoman didn't come to bother him.

  Time just flows forward like this.

  A streak of sword light flew over from the horizon and landed in the courtyard, where Zuo Mo had stopped practicing his sword moves. His master had come out.

  Jump onto the roof, turn over the back of a gray goose, the gray goose makes a clear cry, spreads its wings and takes off, flying towards the direction of Zuomo Chao Xiangfang Institute.

  Xiangfang Garden

  Shi Fengrong's face showed signs of fatigue, and the long period of alchemy practice had taken a great toll on her. When Zuo Mo arrived, Xu Qing was reporting to her about the situation in the institute over this period of time.

  Seeing Zuo Mo arrive, Shi Feng Rong's face turned cold: "Can your five pieces of Bie Gan Wan be refined?"

  "It's been refined." Zuo Mo lowered his head and presented the five Pre-Heaven Golden Pills that he had already prepared.

  Shi Feng Rong's face slightly cleared, and she nodded to Xu Qing to put away the things. She spoke in a gentle voice: "Not bad, it seems you haven't been lazy. You're new to alchemy, what questions do you have now?" Xu Qing, who was standing beside her, showed a look of envy. Although she was the first disciple of Xiang Fang Institute's outer door and had gained Shi Feng Rong's trust, she could only learn but didn't have the right to ask questions. However, she quickly calmed down, thinking that since she hadn't been chased away, it meant she was allowed to listen in, which was a rare opportunity.

  Zuo Mo was overjoyed and hastily asked several questions he had been wondering about.

  Shi Fengrong also answered one by one.

  Zuo Mo suddenly remembered the dan medicine he had refined using the "Vermilion Flame Formula", and hastily took it out: "Master, this is a dan medicine that I unintentionally refined once, which seems to be different from the Bugu Dan. The disciple doesn't know what it actually is, please enlighten me, Master."

  Shi Fengrong took the dan medicine and couldn't help but let out a soft "hmm" as she carefully examined it.

  After a while, she asked: "Tell me how you were refined."

  Zuo Mo then went on to detail the entire refinement process, and when he mentioned inadvertently using the "Vermilion Flame Arts", Shi Feng's eyes seemed to gleam with sudden understanding.

  After Zuo Mo finished speaking, Shi Feng Rong said: "This pellet of Buried Treasure Dan, absorbs the essence of the sun, its medicinal properties are extremely yang, it can be ranked among the top grade spiritual dans. After taking it, one will feel invigorated and their spiritual power will be stimulated, however afterwards, I fear that the after effects won't be small. This kind of dan medicine I have never seen before, you can name it yourself. Find Yan Le Shifu to sell it for you, earn some crystal stones."

  Zuo Mo stupidly asked: "How much can this one be sold for?"

  Shi Feng's expression turned cold: "Ask yourself." After that, she ignored Zuo Mo.

  Zuo Mo didn't know where he had offended this cold-faced master, and could only awkwardly retreat. However, very quickly, he became cheerful again, having unintentionally refined a kind of spiritual dan. The Bitter Valley Pellet could only be considered a dan medicine, and couldn't even be called a spiritual dan, let alone a high-quality one. Zuo Mo was clear that any spiritual dan that could enter the market would absolutely not have a low price.

  What could be more exciting for Luo Mo, who was in urgent need of crystal stones, than finding a way to earn them?

  Innumerable crystal stones were waving at him...

  He was thinking in his heart, when to go find Yan Le Shi Shu.
