"You've beaten it into this state, how am I supposed to eat it?" The Plant Demon said discontentedly.
Zuo Mo was panting, too exhausted to bother with him. After a while, his breathing calmed down, but thinking of the danger he had just faced, he suddenly became furious: "You damned ghost! Why didn't you tell me earlier that the yin evil would attack?"
Pú Yāo's face was full of "it's only natural": "I thought you knew. Such a simple thing, you should know."
Foolish demon, you still haven't figured out the situation, have you? Zuo Mo sneered coldly: "Such a simple matter, I'm not bothered to do it myself. You go ahead and struggle with it." After saying that, he turned around and left.
The white-haired ghost was stunned.
You fool! I'll fight you and let you know how it feels to die! Zuo Mo was still fuming with anger in his heart, his lingering rage not yet dissipated.
"This is a misunderstanding." Pu Yao chased up, solemnly saying: "I actually wanted to teach you how to deal with yin evil, but you know this, it needs you to personally experience it, only then will it be more profound."
Don't bother reasoning with him.
The Pú Yāo glanced at him and said slowly, "You see, with your strength, eliminating the newly formed yīn xiè is indeed not much effort. But do you have a way to injure it without eliminating it?"
Zuo Mo's eyes didn't even lift: "Why should I just injure it and not destroy it?"
"Ah, you think that way, it's very wrong. For example, if your master asks you to catch a demon beast alive, what would you do? You also practice alchemy, so you should know that many demon beast materials require them to be alive in order to be effective."
Don't bother with him.
"However, considering your current cultivation level, it's already good that you can eliminate it. But, you won't be able to stay in Wú Kōng Shān and Tiān Yuè Jiè forever... You still need to go find out about your origins..."
Zuo Mo's foot paused for a moment before he bluntly interrupted Pu Yao: "Pu, what is it that you want to say?"
"Bo Ya shrugged: 'I just want to teach you a few ways to deal with similar situations.'"
"What's wrong with Jiang?" Zuo Mo asked.
"There are many kinds." The Pú Yāo stroked his chin: "But with your current strength, the best method is to use a talisman array."
"Formation? Zuo Mo was taken aback at first, but then his interest was piqued: "A formation, how do I set up a formation? Why would the enemy let me deploy it?"
A hint of pride flashed in Pu Yao's eyes, but it immediately disappeared: "Your understanding of the symbol array is still too shallow. I've seen formidable cultivators who can set up a large array with just a thought. Their methods are endless, and I once met a sword cultivator who had twelve flying swords that could almost instantly set up a powerful sword array, very formidable."
Zuo Mo felt a bit disappointed: "You said it, but it's all the same." During this period of time, he had been studying symbol arrays and could only barely touch on them. As for saying that with just a thought, one could set up a large array, even slightly more complex symbol arrays would take him a lot of time to complete.
"It seems your basic knowledge is really too weak." Pu Yao sneered at Zuo Mo without any politeness, continuing to say: "There's still something in this world called an array disk."
"Array disk?" Zuo Mo was taken aback, then suddenly delighted: "You know how to make an array disk?" Among the various symbol arrays and jade slips he had collected, many had mentioned the "array disk", but none of them had mentioned the method for refining it. He had originally planned to search for a jade slip that described the refinement method in Dong Fu, but after the incident with Mo Ling Shu, he hadn't had time to ask around before slipping back up the mountain.
"This trashy stuff, I'm not interested." Pu Yao's words were like a basin of cold water, pouring down on him, and Zuo Mo's heart, which had just warmed up, immediately cooled down.
He glared at Pu Yao with great displeasure.
Pú Yāo shrugged: "Although I don't understand, but I know where it is."
"Where is it?" Zuo Mo involuntarily asked.
"Hmm, I think it's necessary for us to make a deal." said Pu Yao slowly and calmly.
Zuo Mo was taken aback at first, but he immediately understood Pu Yao's meaning and asked: "What agreement?"
"I'll tell you where it is, and you have to give me fifty live Yin Yao." The Pú Yāo's red tongue licked its lips, speaking in an eerie tone.
"Good." Zu Mo responded without hesitation.
"Heh heh, it's in your sect's library." The Pú Yāo gazed at Zuǒ Mò with a hint of a smile.
Left speechless for a moment.
The library of Wu Kong Mountain is now open to all inner disciples, no contribution points are required. When the head announced this at that time, Zuo Mo was suspicious whether he had misheard it or not, he felt that the head and the masters did not seem like good people, how could they promulgate such a strange rule?
However, the unexplained remains unexplained, but Zuo Mo raised both hands in approval. The jade slips of this sect mainly use sword techniques, and other types of jade slips are scarce, let alone good ones, which is also why Zuo Mo never thought of the sect's library.
Zuo Mo suddenly stopped in his tracks, and he saw a familiar figure.
Older brother Luo Li!
Isn't he in closed-door meditation? Zuo Mo was somewhat surprised, and took another two glances. Luo Li Shixiong was completely absorbed in his observation, not noticing his arrival at all.
Zuo Mo didn't have a good impression of Luo Li Shixiong, and the contradictions between them were irreconcilable. However, Zuo Mo also didn't want any conflicts to occur in the Scripture Library, so he treaded lightly and searched for what he needed on his own.
He quickly found the jade slip on the array disc and was overjoyed. The pú yāo (a type of demon) had indeed not deceived him.
Holding the jade tablet, Zuo Mo quickly became immersed in the world of the jade tablet, completely forgetting the passage of time.
Array disc, is to seal the previously arranged array in a jade disc, when needed, can be quickly released, is a very practical skill. Most arrays can be refined into an array disc for easy use. However, the power of the array disc is weaker than that of the array laid down by the law treasure, so most are low-level cultivators before the golden elixir period who like to use it.
Among all the cultivators, the one who is most skilled in using arrays is actually a loose cultivator. Zuo Mo suddenly discovered that he seemed to have a good affinity with loose cultivators. The spiritual plant method that he had been mainly cultivating was also one of the methods that loose cultivators were skilled in.
The difficulty of refining the formation disc is directly related to the difficulty of the formation. It has to be said that Zuo Mo's refinement of various materials in Dong Fu a few days ago brought him a wealth of experience, and under his careful consideration, the refinement of the formation disc was also gradually overcome.
Before, he studied the formation of arrays, just wanting to improve his own equipment and alchemy skills, never thinking of using arrays against enemies. Until now, when he was pondering the refinement of the array disc, he suddenly realized that arrays could also be used against enemies.
When leaving the library, it was already late, and Luo Li Shixiong was nowhere to be seen, presumably he had left.
Back in the west wind courtyard, Xiao Guo had also returned, only the silly bird stood on the roof, repeatedly and tirelessly preening its own feathers.
He went into the room and found a jade slab, closed his eyes in contemplation for a moment, then began to refine his first array disk.
Cut off a piece of jade plate about the size of a palm, one finger thick. The shape of the jade disc doesn't need to be too carved, just use the dripping water sword to roughly shape it into a circle. What's important is to seal the symbol array in the jade disc, but what symbol array should I seal?
Because it was the first time, Luo Mo decided to choose a relatively easy symbol array - San Cai Shui Zhen.
The only function of this array is to greatly increase the water vapor in an area, increasing the power of the Waterway Formula. Setting up the array has a lot of subtleties, and the most critical one is the talisman treasure, also known as the law treasure that can serve as the medium for setting up the array.
Some practitioners refine a few small flags and use them to set up an array, while others refine a string of prayer beads for this purpose. Different practitioners have different talismans that they use to set up arrays, with endless variations. However, all talismans share certain common characteristics, such as their quantity.
The more powerful the formation, the more complex it is, and the more talismans are needed to set it up.
However, for Zuo Mo, talismans were something that he could only aspire to but not attain. With his current abilities, he didn't have the capability to forge good talismans either. Fortunately, the Three Talents Water Formation didn't require any exceptional materials, so Zuo Mo casually found three pieces of first-grade green wood, cut them into small wooden strips half an inch wide and three inches long, and began carving the formation symbols on them.
Due to the simplicity of the formation itself, the three crude talismans were also completed quickly.
Zuo Mo began to set up the Three Talents Water Formation. He placed three pieces of cyan wood talismans in the positions of heaven, earth, and man according to the Three Talents, and two crystal stones were placed in the positions of sun and moon. After setting it up, Zuo Mo activated the formation with a spell.
Only a layer of misty water vapor quickly enveloped the west wind courtyard, and the silly bird on the roof suddenly cried out in surprise, flapping its wings to fly into the sky.
At this time, Zuo Mo immediately took out the jade plate he had prepared earlier and once again activated the Array Sealing Storage Technique.
All the water vapor and the three talents of water on the ground were absorbed into the jade plate, leaving nothing on the ground, while a greenish-blue water-shaped seal appeared on the jade plate.
Zuo Mo thought it was extremely strange, and hastily urged the formation disk's key. The formation disk shone with a flash of light, and on the ground, another three-element water formation appeared, starting to continuously produce steam. However, the speed at which the steam was produced was slightly slower than before.
That's interesting!
Zuo Mo began to forge various formations' formation disks with great enthusiasm, despite using materials that were extremely low-grade, he was excited and having the time of his life.
Until he had exhausted all the spiritual energy in his body, he stopped, but there were already more than a dozen different types of arrays on his hands. Exhausted Zuo Mo fell asleep as soon as he lay down, and soon after, he was snoring loudly.
Zuo Mo was woken up by Xiao Guo.
"Big Brother." Little Guo called out timidly.
"Mmm." Zuo Mo forced open his bleary eyes, responding vaguely. He hadn't slept this well in a long time.
"Zhang Men wants you to go to Wu Kong Hall."
"Wu Kong Tang... don't disturb me..." Zuo Mo's brain was still a bit foggy after just opening his eyes. After a while, as he gradually came back to his senses, he immediately sat up and asked Xiao Guo with extreme tension: "Where did the sect leader tell you to send me earlier?"
"Master said, let you go to Wu Kong Hall..." Little Guo said timidly.
Zuo Mo didn't say another word, and with a sudden burst of movement, he shot out of Xifeng Valley like a whirlwind.
Just kidding!
If the sect leader wants to go to the empty hall, there must be something important to announce!
All the way, he was thinking about what the leader would announce at this time.
