When Zuo Mo arrived at Wu Kong Hall, he unexpectedly found that Luo Li Shixiong was there. He bowed to the sect head who sat at the top, then stood to one side. After a glance around, he saw that none of the other shishu and shifu had come, Wu Kong Hall only had the three of them.

  "Luoyi, Zuomo, you two should prepare well. One month later, you will join Weisheng Shixiong to represent our sect in the Dongfu Swordsmanship Competition. During this period, you must cultivate diligently and not slack off." The Sect Master announced this news very briefly.

  The status of Wei Sheng as the Big Master Brother was no longer in doubt after he emerged from the Sword Cave, and it is said that the Sect Leader confirmed it on the spot.

  Luo Li didn't say anything, he just bowed.

  Luo Mo stood there in a daze, without any mental preparation. The Sword Trial? Was he going to participate in the Sword Trial?

  After a while, he came back to his senses and hastily said: "Master, this... isn't this somewhat improper?"

  "What's wrong with it?" Pei Yu Ran didn't expect Zuo Mo to say that something was wrong.

  The sect leader's gaze fell on himself, and Zuo Mo could only force a smile and say: "Disciple is afraid that he cannot live up to the task, our sect already has Wei Sheng and Luo Li as seniors, disciple's strength is too weak..."

  The words had not been spoken yet, but even Luo Li's gaze towards him was somewhat strange.

  "Ha ha, you look like this, don't live up to your nickname 'stripped skin zombie'. He narrowed his eyes slightly and said warmly: "The signboard of the sect should be used well when it's time. However, when the sect needs you to make an effort, don't shrink back either."

  Luo Mo's heart skipped a beat.

  It's done! The matter of going to the Lingying Sect on your own will definitely be known by the sect leader!

  The gentle gaze of the sect leader was like a knife at this moment, and Zuo Mo felt uneasy all over, the words that had reached his lips suddenly retreated, and he hastily said: "Yes, yes, yes! As a disciple, I was momentarily confused! To fight for the honor of the sect is our duty, and as a disciple, I am willing to risk my life!"

  The sect leader smiled wryly: "You don't have to risk your life in boiling water or raging fire, just focus on competing with yourself, it will be greatly beneficial for you."

  Zuo Mo was momentarily stunned, fortunately his face didn't show any expression, and he couldn't be read. The reason he didn't want to participate in the Sword Testing Assembly was that he didn't want to waste his energy. He suddenly became curious and asked: "Master, isn't this Sword Testing Assembly going on for a long time? The disciples all think it's about to end."

  "Heh heh, the local sects will each have a few spots, you can directly participate in the Sword Trial Meeting, and don't need to start from the preliminary trial. Alright, if there's anything unclear, you can go ask your senior sister Li Yingfeng, I've already let her be in charge of the logistics for this trial." Pei Yuanyan waved his hand, indicating for the two to withdraw.

  Luo stood there from start to finish without saying a word, like a wooden puppet. Zuo Mo and he didn't exchange greetings before leaving separately.

  As he walked to the entrance of Xifeng Valley, Mo was still somewhat dazed. He had never thought of going to the Sword Trial Assembly, although he too coveted those prizes, but he also knew his own weight. When he was refining materials in Dongfu, he had heard some rumors that this Sword Trial Assembly was the largest scale and most participated in the history of Tianyue Realm.

  Don't look at him being arrogant in the Lingying Sect, but there's a lot of luck involved. Among the many young disciples in the Tianyue Realm, those who can occupy a first-rate position are all cultivators who have reached the Doubt Pulse stage at a young age, like Wei Sheng Shixiong. The Condensed Pulse stage is like a threshold, and if you can't cross it before the age of 30, it's hard to achieve great success.

  Even Wei Sheng, who was full of confidence in Zuo Mo, would have his confidence greatly reduced when placed in the context of the entire Sky Moon Realm. Dong Fu was just one of the thirteen major towns of the Sky Moon Realm, and there were countless large and small families scattered throughout the remote wilderness.

  The Tianyue boundary, apart from the large and small sects, is mostly made up of various surname families. These families have been cultivating the truth for generations, and there is not much difference between them and the sects, only that they are more conservative and traditional, and they do not accept outside cultivators.

  Compared to sects, families occupy fewer resources and have fewer techniques. However, they also have their own way of survival, especially in terms of techniques. Although there are not many, due to the continuous improvement and supplementation by generations of disciples, as long as they are passed down smoothly, they must have their own subtleties. Disciples from sects have a solid foundation in all aspects, while those from families often have one or two extremely subtle techniques, each with its pros and cons.

  If a talented disciple emerges in the Xiuzhen family, the resources tilted towards him will be more intense than those of the sect.

  So many powerful masters, what's the point of joining in with just my humble foundation period cultivation? Left Mou curled up her lips.

  In his heart, Luo Li Shixiong was also hopeless. If there was anyone in the sect who had hope, it would only be Wei Sheng Shixiong. As soon as he thought of Wei Sheng Shixiong, Zuo Mo couldn't help but feel anticipation. From the Sword Cave, step by step killing his way out, breaking through the Condensation Period, what kind of performance would Shixiong have? This was also the only thing that Zuo Mo was interested in at the Trial Sword Conference.

  The yin evil in the Sword Cave was all dispersed by Shixiong, and even Pu Yao would occasionally reveal his admiration for Shixiong when speaking of him.

  Alright, anyway it's just going through the motions. Left Mo decided to put this issue aside for now and focus on what needs to be done, so as not to be punished by the master.

  As he approached the small courtyard, Xiao Guo was still practicing his swordplay, sweating profusely and fully immersed. Zuo Mo didn't make a sound to disturb him, but instead quietly watched for a moment before nodding slightly. Xiao Guo's progress was extremely rapid, and his execution of the "Qing Hua" sword technique was impressive. To be honest, Xiao Guo's innate talent for swordsmanship could only be considered average, and Zuo Mo's initial guidance had been merely out of a sense of duty as his senior brother.

  But as Xiao Guo continued to make progress, especially with his unimaginable hard work, his attitude changed bit by bit, and he became more serious in his guidance.

  "The Qing Hua Sword Technique" conceals a killing intent within its gentle and subtle movements, with the blue-colored sword light sometimes being fine and dense, layered and overlapping, like intricate brushstrokes, and at other times, the sword's momentum is bold and free-flowing, as if written with reckless abandon.

  Xiao Guo's "Qing Hua" still lacks a killer move, but in terms of wrapping, concealment, and gentleness, it is extremely well done. What surprises Zuo Mo the most is the "tenacity" that subtly reveals itself in her sword moves. She is like a quiet and timid spider lurking on a white porcelain vase, spitting out countless fine blue spider threads, quietly laying down a dense and tenacious blue web to encircle her opponent.

  This "Qing Hua" is really suitable for her!

  Zuo Mo inwardly praised and felt happy for her. Given time, Xiao Guo would definitely become a pretty good sword cultivator.

  As for the other change in "Qing Hua" - freehand, Zuo Mo felt that it was hard to come by, this thing is related to personality. Xiao Guo isn't that kind of bold and uninhibited person, probably also can't grasp this level of sword intent. Zuo Mo isn't a person who is bound by changes, on the contrary he feels that if Xiao Guo develops in this direction, he will definitely be able to walk out his own path.

  After some thought, Zuo Mo took out all the sword techniques from his jade slips that he thought might help Xiao Guo, most of which were relatively gentle and soft.

  Xiao Guo had also completed a complete training session at this time, and when he looked up, he saw Zuo Mo watching from the side. He took a deep breath and called out in a trembling voice: "Shixiong..."

  "Hmm." Zuomo responded softly, then took out a few jade slips from her treasure pouch and handed them to Xiaoguo: "Take these back and take a look. Don't just focus on bitter practice, read more and broaden your horizons, it can also inspire yourself."

  At the sight of Xiaoguo's eyes misting up again, Zuomo suddenly felt a severe headache and hastily handed the jade slip to Xiaoguo, saying in a deliberately serious tone: "This is homework! I'll be checking on it! Don't slack off! Keep practicing!"

  After finishing speaking, he hastily escaped and rushed straight to the small hut.

  This little girl is great, it's just that she loves to cry too much. Zuo Mo shook his head, he was also helpless about this aspect of Xiao Guo. Hmm, let her practice by herself, anyway she's practicing quite well now. Zuo Mo thought very irresponsibly.

  Soon, he put this issue aside and started his daily cultivation.

  He is now cultivating extremely unbalanced, spending most of his time on heart method cultivation. Whether it's "Fetal Breathing Cultivation" or "Diamond Sutra", both require a lot of time. In comparison, the time he spends on formulae is pitifully small. The Five Elements Formula of Ling Zhi Fu, due to lack of subsequent content, has nothing to follow up with, and can only spend some time on finger techniques every day to prevent regression. As for "Leaving Water Sword Formula", since he merged sword intent, he found that his deviation from the original content on Jade Simplification is quite large. The content in the formula also no longer suits the new sword intent. Alas, it's not easy to merge sword intent, and even harder to separate them again.

  The only thing that made Zuo Mo feel fortunate was that after merging, his sword intent had become much more powerful than before.

  What's left are all the methods for refining elixirs and equipment. Refining elixirs doesn't need to be said, Shi Feng Rong felt that she didn't have time to instruct him, so she let him see all of her jade slips related to refining elixirs. Even those that required matching cultivation levels were had their restrictions removed by her, allowing Zuo Mo to examine them.

  It has to be said that this is of great benefit to Zuo Mo. His current use of the Clock Formation compared to before, is unknown how many times stronger, and he can grasp many subtle aspects. Even though his cultivation is limited, there are many places where it's hard to fully understand, but his thinking and insight are no longer comparable to what they were in the past.

  As for equipment refinement, he can only be considered a part-time practitioner, and the only thing he is really good at is material processing. The others are pitifully weak. However, he thinks that equipment refinement is also a good direction, especially since he has the fire seed. In his free time, he will also flip through the equipment jade slips collected by his second master.

  It can be seen that his magical formula is extremely rare!

  However, he didn't have many options. He couldn't tell the second master and others about it, otherwise he would definitely be scolded. The elders would certainly reprimand him severely, telling him to focus on practicing his sword skills and not be greedy for more.

  One sword breaks all laws, is the confidence of a high-ranking sword cultivator.

  Unfortunately, Zuo Mo isn't a master, and he hasn't had much time to focus on his sword techniques lately. He's a pure pragmatist, and his development direction is completely driven by demand. Since the last time he almost fell into a trap in the Ling Ying Sect, he has been deeply awakened and realized that this can't go on like this.

  Earning crystal is good, but steady and stable is better.

  He had spent a lot of time on Fu Zhen before, but due to the lack of effective techniques, although he was pondering, his enthusiasm was not great.

  But now with the array disk, this undoubtedly opened a window for Zuo Mo.

  Outside the window is another brand new world.
