In the jade box, a single stem of pale blue water grass was arranged, with a faint glow flowing and emitting a faint chill.
Ice Cloud Grass is a very rare aquatic spiritual grass, which can be seen in many high-level spiritual pill formulas. To say nothing of others, even Zuo Mo's master's spiritual garden does not have Ice Cloud Grass. Ice Cloud Grass grows in extremely cold places and is difficult to grow, making it hard to find.
Dong Fu was afraid that even if he bought it, he wouldn't be able to get such high-quality Bingyun grass, which shows how precious it is.
"This thing is too valuable." Zuo Mo suppressed the greed in his heart and pushed the jade box back to Eldest Martial Sister.
Gongsun Qing's eyes flashed with a hint of appreciation, and she pushed the jade box back to Zuo Mo: "Younger brother, don't decline. This Ice Cloud Grass is cold in nature and belongs to the water element. The dan medicine refined from it will also be a cold-natured water-element spiritual dan. In our sect, except for you, no one else can use it."
Zuo thought for a moment and said: "Two hundred pieces. The other one hundred will be considered as a small token of my brother's heart."
Gongsun Qing didn't decline either, smiling generously: "Thank you, junior brother."
The crowd chatted for a while, but the conversation didn't go well, especially with Xuyi Xia. The three of them stood up and told Left Mo to send them off at the valley entrance. Before leaving, Xu Yi reminded Left Mo about the Golden Crow Pill he had ordered earlier, and Left Mo hastily nodded in agreement.
Zuo Mo finally could catch his breath. Returning to his own courtyard, he didn't want to do anything, today's ups and downs had left him exhausted to the point of death.
However, he first transplanted the Ice Cloud Grass to the Stone Room Spirit Spring. The Spirit Spring was close to the Spiritual Pulse and had a rich spiritual energy, making it very suitable for the growth of the Ice Cloud Grass. What delighted him about the Ice Cloud Grass wasn't entirely due to its rarity, but because in Senior Wei Nan's jade slip, there was a record of a water-refining method that refined a Spirit Pill called the Ice Cloud Pill. Its main ingredient was precisely the Ice Cloud Grass. This Spirit Pill, known as the Ice Cloud Pill, could greatly enhance a cultivator's aquatic abilities.
It's just that the so-called "great increase" can be quite large, but there is no detailed record in Yu Jian. However, for Zuo Mo, this is still very beneficial. He is not a sword cultivator and does not need to consider the messy problems of the five elements. Any one of the five elements is extremely useful to him. If his water element greatly increases, the power of his "Departing Water Sword Scripture" will also become greater, and it will be even more easy to control.
But he doesn't have time to refine the Ice Cloud Pill now, he's deeply in debt!
Jin Wu Wan
Just thinking about the numerous Jin Wu Pills, Zuo Mo had an urge to directly faint.
But today, forget it, he fell asleep immediately.
The next day, early in the morning, Zuo Mo got up and started his crazy Dan-making career. Xu Qing seemed to be aware of this matter too, having already prepared a large quantity of materials for making Bu Gu Dan.
Looking at the mountain of raw materials in front of him, Zuo Mo was on the verge of tears, but he had no choice and could only start refining with a hard head!
A group of people appeared in a valley not far from Dongfu, they were dressed differently and had different expressions.
"It's around here." One of them said with a serious expression: "But it's hard to find the exact location."
"I reckon that's all there is." Another yellow-robed Taoist snorted and added, "We've been to the other twelve towns, what else can we have besides this?"
Everyone's gaze was focused on the man in silver attire. The man had a calm expression, and his long robe seemed to be woven from silver threads, shining brightly, dazzlingly eye-catching among the crowd.
The man in silver robes hesitated for a moment before speaking: "First, let's get settled in and investigate slowly."
A group of people flew eastward.
Two hours later, in the same place where the crowd had just gathered, a flash of light flickered and a group of black-clad men appeared, each with a bronze mask on their face, the pattern on the mask was exaggerated and ferocious, only revealing two eyes.
"In this area, the specific location is still unclear." A man in black said softly, suddenly he let out a low exclamation: "There were people here just now, quite a few of them."
The first black-clad man didn't say a word, he just lightly waved his hand, and this group of black-clad men suddenly vanished into thin air.
After a while, a man in white appeared. If Zuo Mo saw him, he would be shocked to find that it was Lin Xian, whom he thought was a rich young master. He only took one glance before disappearing.
The scene of Zuo Mo's assessment was truly shocking, with a constant stream of visitors for several days. Helpless, Zuo Mo could only hang a "closed" sign at the entrance of the valley. These days, he had been refining pills to the point where he almost refined himself into exhaustion. The master sister's, Xu Yi Shixiong's, and those given to Li Ying Feng to sell on his behalf, it wasn't until later that he remembered he didn't even have any fire seeds of his own, fourth-grade fire seeds! If he didn't even have those, what was the point of refining?
According to the appraisal, there is a certain possibility of refining it into Golden Crow Fire. He guessed that it should be related to quantity. Taking a deep breath, Zuo Mo decided to refine 500 for himself. After all, eating more wouldn't kill him. If he could refine them into Golden Crow Fire, he would make a fortune. A fourth-grade fire seed, and the spiritual dan's grade could directly increase by one grade if refined by oneself.
He simply stayed in the alchemy room at the thought of it.
Xu Qing has almost become the busiest person and almost became Zuo Mo's agent. Every day, she had to prepare the materials for Zuo Mo to refine dan, and also help Zuo Mo distribute the Golden Crow Pills. The number of Golden Crow Pills refined every day wouldn't fluctuate too much, but who to give them to was a problem. Headache-ridden Zuo Mo threw this problem at Xu Qing, previously he still owed Xu Qing a favor, so he was quite willing to help her out.
As a result, Xu Qing's status in the door immediately rose with the tide.
She has been the outer disciple of Qingfang Courtyard for a long time, and she is best at handling various relationships. She also knows how to observe people's expressions and colors. Who would dare to offend her easily? Moreover, she now holds the power to distribute the Golden Crow Pills, so everyone will not offend her at this time. The temptation of the fourth-grade fire seed is really too great. Except for Hermione, because of Zuo Mo's sake, Xǔ Qíng looks more and more displeasing. But as soon as she thinks of Zuo Mo's performance during the assessment, she doesn't dare to act rashly.
Zuo Mo would still dare to slap her last time, and if he provoked her again, Zuo Mo would absolutely dare to slap her again.
Xu Qing would not have known that Zuo Mo helped her. She secretly felt grateful and used all her thoughts to make things even more beautiful. The shocking performance of Zuo Mo in the assessment made her extremely shocked, but what truly made her admire him was his unparalleled madness and desperation in refining dan these past few days!
Every day, she knows exactly how much raw material is delivered.
Perhaps talent is something that can't be sought after by outer door disciples, but hard work and perseverance are things that everyone can possess, and they're even more admirable!
It's not just her, the entire Huafang Courtyard was intimidated by Zuo Mo's craziness and desperation. Even Shi Feng Rong had called Xu Qing over multiple times to ask about the situation. And Xu Qing, within her power, gave her master brother the greatest help. For example, many people who wanted to beg for Golden Crow Pills would send some Lingguo Lingcai, Xu Qing would specially entrust a skilled sister disciple to refine them into spiritual food and then give it to Zuo Mo.
She soon discovered that every day, Zuo Mo would produce a few more Golden Crow Pills than usual. She knew that these were the ones he was giving to her.
It had been nearly twenty days since Zuo Mo first walked out of the dan-making room, pushing open the door to let sunlight in that made him squint.
Xu Qing, who was busy processing medicinal herbs in the courtyard, rushed over: "Shixiong."
"It's okay, I'll just go out for some fresh air." Zuo Mo gestured for her to go ahead and busy herself.
He had been crazily paying off debts for nearly twenty days and finally finished most of them, so he could take a breather. The warm sunshine made him feel extremely comfortable. He ran over to ask Xu Qing: "Is there any music?"
Xu Qing ran into the house, took out a harmonica and handed it to Zuo Mo.
Xie took over the sound of the jade pendant, ignoring the surprised gaze of other sisters, jumped onto the roof, input spiritual power into the sound of the jade pendant, placed it beside her, lay down, basked in the sun, and hummed a little tune.
It's been a long time since I've felt so relaxed and carefree.
Everything was calm and peaceful, when suddenly it darkened in front of me. The humming in my mouth stopped, I opened my eyes to see a gigantic ship slowly flying over the sky above my head. This giant ship was about the same size as the Thousand Feathered Fortune Ship that Zuo Mo had seen before, but its bow was sharper and its hull was surrounded by a flock of birds in five colors, beautiful to the extreme.
Huh? Zuo Mo sat up, looking up at the giant ship passing overhead, thinking to himself, what big shot has come to Dong Fu again.
The giant ship also shocked many people, and the nuns in the temple stopped their work one after another, discussing it with seven mouths and eight tongues.
Just then, Shi Feng Rong also noticed the giant ship and a hint of unusual color flashed in her eyes. However, she shouted: "What's all the commotion about!"
The crowd heard Shi Fengrong's rebuke and immediately fell silent, nervously resuming their work. Shi Fengrong then shouted at Zuo Mo on the rooftop: "Hurry up and refine your pills!" After finishing speaking, she hastily headed in the direction of Wu Kong Hall. Zuo Mo, who had just been scolded, was not bothered at all, but instead wondered if this giant ship had any connection to their sect?
He always felt that Master's expression was unusual today, and there must be something!
Of course, he can only make wild guesses. Don't look at the master as a mere woman, her golden elixir cultivation is top-notch, and in the eyes of Dong Fu, she is absolutely a first-rate expert.
Even if something happens, he can't help much anyway. As long as he doesn't cause any trouble, that's all that matters. With this thought, he slipped back into his own courtyard.
He went to check on the Ice Cloud Grass and saw that it was growing well. He then meditated in the stone room for two hours, benefiting from the dense spiritual energy of the stone room's spiritual vein and the spiritual food sent by Xu Qing. Zuo Mo's recent cultivation had increased significantly. It was estimated that after a period of time, he would be able to reach the second layer of the Foundation Establishment stage.
These days have been busy with alchemy, Xin Yan Shibo gave his own jade slip, but he hasn't had a chance to look at it yet. The spiritual grass and medicine in the spiritual field have also been neglected during this period, and the ban on the valley needs to be reset. The Golden Crow Pill still needs to be refined, and he is also eager for that fourth-grade Golden Crow Fire!
Hurry up!
He now prefers this kind of busy life, how fulfilling it is.
He suddenly thought that he hadn't been to the Sea of Recognition to see Pu Yao for a long time and didn't know what this guy was up to.
Entering the sea of knowledge, everything was still the same. Lemo couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. He feared that every time he came in here, there would be changes. Moreover, no matter what changes occurred, he wouldn't understand them.
He was startled when he saw the appearance of the Pú Yāo.
