Zuo Moyu slowly came to, his face pressed against the ground, with a lot of mud still stuck in his mouth. It wasn't until he realized he was in his own small courtyard that he slightly calmed down.

  But when he examined himself, his heart finally relaxed completely. The situation was better than he thought, although the injury was quite serious, especially the meridians, but it was much better than he imagined. What he feared most was that the injury would damage his innate vitality, which was a fatal wound that even a Golden Dan period cultivator could not rescue.

  It's okay... it's okay...

  He struggled to sit up from the muddy ground, his whole body aching. He was used to it now, but thinking back, he seemed to often get himself into such a sorry state. The more times something happened, the more one got used to it, even things like enduring pain.

  However, when he saw the grey geese lying in the mud not far away, he was shocked and hurriedly crawled over. He could come back himself, it must be the credit of this mother bird, if there wasn't her, he would have been miserable! When he arrived at the side of the grey goose, he carefully checked and his heart finally put down. It turned out that the mother bird had exhausted all her strength, and a faint sense of emotion lingered in Lin Mo's heart.

  Ran back to the stone room, took out his treasured stone milk, and dripped three drops for the gray beak goose.

  "Silly bird, silly bird, I'm being nice enough, aren't I?" Zuo Mo muttered to himself.

  For cultivators, taking Shi Ru alone is not very effective, but for spiritual beasts, this stuff is a treasure. Except for Zuo Mo, no one would feed three drops of Shi Ru to a second-grade Grey Crane. From the perspective of Jing Shi, three drops of Shi Ru are much more valuable than a second-grade Grey Crane. However, the bond between this man and bird is very deep, although this mother bird had once done something despicable, Ge Da Ren has a lot of magnanimity, not calculating with you this silly bird, Zuo Mo thought.

  The effect of breast milk is indeed significant.

  Only after a moment, the grey geese stood up again, however...

  Watching the gray geese walk like humans, with their wings folded behind their backs, strutting along with their chests held high, Left Mu was momentarily stunned. But it didn't last long, and soon they became restless, starting to imitate frogs, jumping around in the courtyard, up and down, leaving Left Mu staring in amazement. But again, after a while, even frog-jumping couldn't satisfy them, those wings kept making all sorts of strange movements, looking like a mad bird dancing.

  It's really pitiful and lacks aesthetic appeal...

  Zuo Mo couldn't help but make such a ruthless evaluation.

  After a moment's thought, he suddenly understood that he had given the Grey-Beaked Goose too much Stone Milk. The Grey-Beaked Goose was of ordinary talent and could not withstand so much Stone Milk. Too much medicinal power in its body could not be dissolved, which led to its seemingly crazy behavior.

  Suddenly, Mo Da's face changed greatly in shock, and this silly bird actually flew towards Ling Tian!

  "Stop right there!" Zuo Mo couldn't bear it anymore and burst into a loud scolding: "You dare to ruin my fields, I'll break your legs!"

  Scared by Zuo Mo, the grey bird hastily flapped its wings and took to the skies in a flurry. In an instant, it tumbled head over heels into the mud, getting its head stuck upside down. It was still a bit afraid of Zuo Mo. As it struggled to pull its head out of the mud, Zuo Mo saw that things were not going well and hastily shouted: "Fool! Don't you know how to fly in the sky!"

  The grey goose flapped its wings, hitting itself on the head, and suddenly looked enlightened. Then it shook its head as if drunk, flapped its wings again, and stumbled upwards into the clouds.

  Zuo Mo patted his chest with a lingering fear, these days even birds have such fierce moments!

  After much difficulty, he finally subdued the stupid bird and, with his own half-maimed body, crawled into the stone chamber. As soon as he entered the stone chamber, he sat cross-legged in meditation.

  This time, he meditated for a much longer period than usual. He spent a full ten hours in meditation before finally waking up. Although he didn't suffer any severe injuries, the meridians inside his body were still damaged, and the chaotic spiritual energy had caused significant destruction to them. At that moment, he was indeed crazy - he would have risked his life for the crystal stone. But after careful consideration, he felt it wasn't just about that. He couldn't quite put into words why he had been so desperate at the time.

  But that last blow had too many places for him to savor.

  Chang Heng's strength was fundamentally not on the same level as his opponent, and it could be inferred that he could force him into a desperate situation with just one move. Now thinking back, Zuo Mo felt a bit fearful. He hadn't thought that Chang Heng would be so formidable, but he hadn't expected to struggle so much against even one of Chang Heng's moves. That he had only suffered such minor injuries was truly a miracle.

  He didn't give up. The difference in their cultivation was too great. Chang Heng was at the peak of the foundation-building period, ready to break through to the condensation stage, while Zuo Mo was only at the fourth layer of the foundation building stage.

  However, he is now at the fifth level. Just a moment ago, his ten-hour meditation unexpectedly broke through to the fifth level. The gains from this battle are not just that, so Zuo Mo, who woke up from his meditation, did not immediately get up, but instead sat there, carefully replaying the entire battle in his mind.

  The battle was brief, with only one move, but the changes within were not monotonous. On the contrary, there were many changes that Mo had never thought of before. He even used the self-damaging method of directly absorbing spiritual energy into his body, barely managing to withstand the opponent's move. Chang Heng has too many places worth learning from, such as precise use of spiritual power, attack divine sense, and application of aura and pressure...

  This time, it's another five hours.

  It wasn't until he came back to his senses that he realized how starving he was. Rushing into the house, he found some spiritual grains and, not caring about his poor cooking skills, made a meal of spiritual grain rice himself. The terrible cooking resulted in a taste that was really not good at all. However, Zuo Mo wolfed it down, cleaning the plate completely, and the spiritual power contained within the spiritual grains made him feel quite satisfied.

  After eating his fill, he began to examine his spoils of war.

  As he laid out his spoils in a row, he immediately became excited and thrilled.

  Luo Yue Xuan Gui Jia, Fu Bing, one three-product waistband, a pair of three-product wrist guards.

  Luoyue Xuan Guijia's subtlety was already quite familiar to him, and the Fu Bing could still be used once. This kind of lifesaving thing at a critical moment, Zuo Mo naturally wouldn't be stupid enough to try it randomly. He carefully memorized the incantation, then carefully put away the Fu Bing.

  The focus is on the belt and wrist guard, the belt Left Mo had to admit that he was wrong, the golden woven belt that looked shiny only had a formation: Heroic. This symbol array seemed to Left Mo as a completely useless symbol array. Its function is to make the wearer's temperament more outstanding, looking more heroic and extraordinary.

  In other words, this is just a decorative array. Lu Mo was about to vomit blood, women wearing this kind of talisman, he thought it was understandable, a big man, wearing a belt with the "Heroic" array carved on it, swaggering through the streets, too flashy! The belt uses heavenly silkworm soft gold thread, the material is extraordinary, such good materials are engraved with an array that has no practical use at all, what a waste!

  Zuo Mo was filled with regret in his heart, how did he end up picking such a silver wax gun head thing.

  Fortunately, the wrist guard did not disappoint him. On it were engraved two array formulas: "Thousand Jin" and "Living Finger". After activating "Thousand Jin", his strength could be greatly increased, and in the eyes of other cultivators, especially sword cultivators, this might be a useless symbol array, but Zuo Mo liked it very much.

  Isn't this a perfect match for "Diamond Sutra"?

  Think of his dark golden hands, as powerful as a thousand kilograms, unstoppable, easily crushing others' flying swords with a pinch. In Mo's heart, there was a thrill of excitement. Of course, this was just a beautiful fantasy, and no one would be foolish enough to let their flying sword be caught by the opponent's hand. However, as a hidden move, it could still make people defenseless.

  "Living Fingers" is a widely used symbol array, its effect is to enhance the flexibility of finger techniques. However, this has little practical use for Zuo Mo, as his finger techniques are already quite powerful among low-level cultivators, and such an improvement has a negligible impact on him. "Living Fingers" is more effective for cultivators who are less familiar with finger techniques, while those with skilled hands find it less useful.

  It's no good being too greedy. Zu Mo muttered to himself, he had to go to Dong Fu and sell a piece of treasure to gather enough crystal stones to pay off his debt. The belt probably wouldn't fetch much, if all else failed, he would have to sell the arm guards as well. He was somewhat reluctant to part with them, the arm guards with the "Living Finger" technique were actually quite valuable, what he couldn't bear to part with was the "Thousand Jin" symbol array.

  But who made us poor, nothing can be done about it.

  The grey goose doesn't know where it flew to, so Zuo Mo can only take out his own Wind-Traveling Paper Crane.

  "Xiao Huang, it's your turn now!"

  Sitting on the paper crane, Zuo Mo swayed back and forth, flying eastward with a fluttering motion. Along the way, the outer sect disciples of the Sword Hut saw Zuo Mo riding the paper crane, first stunned, then full of admiration, all of them hurriedly paying their respects to Zuo Mo.

  "I heard that Master's older brother single-handedly took on the Lingying Sect! He fought against five of them alone and defeated them! The news has spread throughout Dongfu!"

  Zhi He's face turned pale and his whole body stiffened, suddenly breaking out in a cold sweat. This rumor spread...

  "What's all the fuss about? How could I not have heard of such a sensational thing?! Apparently, there was also a ten-zhang tall spider with a bloody huge mouth that could swallow a cow whole. Left Uncle defeated it with just one move and made it kneel down to beg for mercy..."

  Zuo Mo almost fell off the paper crane, as if he was the one who had been begging for mercy.

  "Too awesome! Look at Left Martial Uncle, such an intimidating figure, yet he's still riding a First-Rate Paper Crane. What's the meaning of returning to simplicity and truth? What's the meaning of being profound and mysterious? This is it!"

  "Really? Really?"

  Zuo Mo could no longer hold on and fled in disarray.

  A middle-aged man dressed in exceptionally luxurious attire was fondling a soft gold waistband with an excited and frenzied expression.

  "Good stuff! Absolutely good stuff! Tsk, tsk, look at this weaving technique, the seventy-two magpie happy branch pattern, it's not something that just any ordinary master can weave. And look at this style, two words: noble and elegant! A classic design, within fifty years, it will absolutely never go out of style. This soft golden silk is good stuff, gold but not gaudy, bright but not tacky, only with such good materials can the foundation be supported, if you switch to inferior ones, it would be too cheap, and the comfort level would also be much worse. Whoever can afford this price wouldn't wear something uncomfortable, right? Have you seen the auspicious knot? It's amazing! With the auspicious knot as the edge, this kind of edging method I've never seen before, this time I really gained some knowledge. The English wolf symbol array is also carved very intricately, this position, just right to cover the whole body, wearing it would make one look majestic and elegant, unless...the material is too poor..."

  Zuo Mo dazedly walked out of the store, his waist bulging with a heavy pouch full of treasures, feeling as if he was dreaming.

  A soft golden belt with only a Yingwu symbol array is actually the most expensive among these few treasures.

  Is it me who's crazy, or is it them...

  I don't understand! I really don't understand!

  Make up for yesterday.
