Zuo Mo slowly opened his eyes, and the dark golden color all over his body gradually faded away.

  If one could cut open Luo Mo's skin, they would see that the flesh under his skin was like it was mixed with countless fragments of gold. The third layer of "Flesh and Gold" in the Jingang Weiyen had become increasingly profound, and the demonic pattern seemed to be a perfect match for the Jingang Weiyen. The speed at which the Jingang Weiyen was progressing even left Luo Mo feeling shocked. Originally, he had thought that the Grave Stele version of the Jingang Weiyen was a stable and steady type, but who would have known that with the addition of the demonic pattern, it would undergo an astonishing transformation.

  At this speed, it won't be long before he reaches the fourth level "Crimson Lotus Golden Flow". Unfortunately, Zuo Mo only knew how to cultivate his body and didn't understand even half a bit about application.

  Moreover, even if he is now invulnerable to ordinary flying swords, the humiliation he suffered last time when facing the dark and sinister forces made him realize that even with a body as hard as gold, he was still powerless against spiritual attacks.

  Zuo Mo felt like a tragic figure. He had a body of spiritual awareness, but didn't know how to use it; he had cultivated his physical body to the point of "Golden Body", but still didn't know how to use it; he was well-versed in thousands of material natures, yet couldn't refine even one decent magical artifact...

  The only thing that made him feel fortunate was that he could now refine the formation plate, and the symbols he had learned could also be used!

  The impatient Pao-yu shouted: "Let's get started! Let's get started!"

  As soon as he finished speaking, without waiting for Zuo Mo's response, he directly threw out the crystal stone. A burst of light flashed by, and in an instant, one person and one demon disappeared from their original spot.

  "Alright, fifty heavily injured yin evil spirits." The Peony Demon emphasized: "Alive!"

  "I know." Zuo Mo was quite aware that debts had to be repaid, and it was even more so when the debt was owed to Pu Yao, whose favor was not easy to take advantage of.

  These days he refined a large number of colorful arrays, and was just thinking of trying out the effect of the array.

  "There is one." The púyāo suddenly became excited and floated towards a corner, with Lèng Mò hastily following.

  Sure, here is the translation:

  As expected, in the corner, a dark aura was quietly floating around. Luo Mo noticed that this dark aura had a thicker mist all over its body than the one last time.

  "What's going on? This one looks even harder to deal with than last time." He hastily asked Pu Yao.

  The Pao demon stared at the yin evil with gleaming eyes, almost drooling, and said without turning his head: "What is this place? The yin evil absorbs yin energy every day, so it grows very quickly."

  Zuo Mo nodded in response, so it was like that.

  This dark and gloomy creature was even more ferocious than the last one, it quickly discovered Zuo Mo and let out a harsh, unpleasant sound before pouncing on him.

  At the same time, the divine needle arrived as scheduled. However, Zuo Mo was prepared this time and chuckled lightly, flipping his hand to produce an additional array disk, which he gently tossed out!

  The discus was thrown out in an instant, as if it had been thrown into the water. The air rippled and the discus disappeared from view.

  The air beside his left ear stirred, and his divine sense brushed against him. He felt a surge of joy in his heart - the talismanic array had taken effect!

  Just as the dark energy was about to pounce on Zuo Mo's face, it suddenly stopped in its tracks and stood still, seemingly bewildered. Since he needed to observe the effects of the seal array, Zuo Mo didn't rush to attack, instead circling around the dark energy. The dark energy within the seal array showed no reaction whatsoever, merely spinning around in place.

  As expected, Zu Mo's eyes couldn't hide his excitement, he had guessed it right!

  Pu Yao had told him about the conditions for Yin Sha to take shape, and with the last time being attacked by Yin Sha's spiritual consciousness, Zuo Mo judged that Yin Sha should be easily restrained by illusion-type spell arrays. Yin Sha was born from yin energy, although it could use spiritual consciousness to attack, its intelligence was extremely low, making it easy to be confused by illusion-type spell arrays.

  He threw out a formation called "Maze Formation", which is the simplest type of illusion formation, its effect is to make people lose their direction.

  Due to the material, Zuo Mo was unable to refine more complex maze arrays. Second-grade maze arrays didn't have much use in actual combat, and for cultivators at the Foundation Establishment stage or above, they were basically ineffective. Not to mention that using an array disk to release a second-grade maze array would result in even weaker power.

  But it was this small, useless maze that successfully trapped a yin evil spirit.

  In an instant, Zu Mo's heart was filled with a sense of accomplishment!

  Since the last time Pú Yāo told him that, if he couldn't increase his spiritual power storage, then he should reduce his spiritual power consumption and improve his spiritual power efficiency. This gave him a great epiphany, as he understood and was skilled in some very low-level spells. Moreover, his cultivation progress had been extremely slow lately, and those high-level spells and talismans all had extremely high requirements for spiritual power. This had left him disappointed for quite some time. But the Mó Wén Yāo Hé (Demon Pattern Demon Core) was already impossible to remove. If the problem of spiritual power storage couldn't be solved, then he was destined to only deal with low-level spells.

  Helpless, he could only set his sights on these low-level spell arrays. Moreover, he had a faint feeling that as long as they were used properly, low-level spells and arrays could also exert considerable power.

  It turned out he was right!

  As long as the direction is correct, a second-rate symbol array can trap a yin evil spirit.

  Judgment correct, gave him a great encouragement, and also made him completely forget about the Pu Yao, fully focused on observing the trapped Yin Gui. He wanted to see how long this less-than-second-rate maze could trap this Yin Gui. What counterattack would this Yin Gui have?

  Zuo Mo didn't move, and Pu Yao was somewhat dissatisfied, but he still restrained himself. He also wanted to see what Zuo Mo was going to do.

  The yin evil in the formation is gradually becoming violent, which can be seen from the rolling yin energy around it. From being trapped to now, the yin evil has launched five divine thoughts, all of which have fallen empty, and each direction has one, indicating that the yin evil has completely lost its judgment on the opponent's position.

  Squeak!

  Yin Gui suddenly let out a very sharp cry, and from the rolling dark energy, five gray fine needles suddenly shot out in all directions!

  A crisp sound, and the mysterious array shattered instantly. The remaining five gray needles continued to shoot out in their respective directions with unabated momentum.

  Zuo Mo's expression changed slightly, and a gray needle happened to be shooting towards him!

  He hastily activated the technique, and the array on Luo Yue's Xuan Gui Jia was immediately stimulated by him. A semi-transparent turtle shell shield appeared in front of him. Puff! The turtle shell shield shook violently, its luster dimming significantly, but it still managed to stabilize itself with difficulty.

  Zuo Mo was shocked in his heart, this gray fine thorn was actually so fierce! He was very clear that the turtle shell shield released by Luo Yue's Xuanwu armor had a strong defensive power, and it was almost shattered. If it fell on himself, it would definitely be a bloody hole!

  With a grit of his teeth, another formation plate suddenly appeared in his hand - "Dragon Binding Formation"!

  The disk flew out of his hand and transformed into three green threads, like living things, pouncing on the dark energy. The five gray needles from just now seemed to have caused significant damage to the dark energy itself, it withered and fell to the ground, unable to dodge in time. The three green threads bound it tightly, like three green snakes. It was also strange to say that this dark energy was composed entirely of yin energy, but these green threads could bind it like a real object, making it immobile.

  Until then, Zuo Mo finally let out a breath of relief.

  This "Dragon Binding Array" is one of the fine arrays in his jade slips. To make this Dragon Binding Array disc, he spent a lot of materials and it was also one of his greatest guarantees this time, but he didn't expect to use it so soon.

  "Do you still need my help?" Zuo Mo asked Pu Yao as he caught his breath.

  "It's not necessary." The Pú Yāo licked its lips and walked towards the Yin Xiǎo who was tied up like a rice dumpling. Yin Xiǎo seemed to be extremely afraid of the Pú Yāo, desperately making squeaking sounds.

  Pu Yao was completely unmoved, walking up to Yin Si and extending his hand into the dark energy.

  Nor was there any movement, the gloomy hissing sound gradually became smaller, and the dark gray gas all over the body of the yin evil was absorbed into the palm at a speed visible to the naked eye. The face of the púyāo revealed an intoxicated expression: "It's been a long time since I've tasted something so delicious!"

  In the blink of an eye, the dark energy was completely absorbed by him.

  The three green straps that had lost their support suddenly disappeared in the air with a snap.

  "Wow, there are still forty-nine!" The Pú Yāo's face seemed to have an extra layer of luster, and the smile at the corner of his mouth was even more enchanting.

  Fortunately, Zuo Mo had prepared a large number of formations for this trip to the Sword Cave, and the Binding Dragon Formation was just one of them.

  Gradually, Zuo Mo became more and more familiar with the characteristics of the yin evil. The gray fine thorns were the yin evil's life-saving trump card, and after using them, they would inevitably become weak and feeble. And the Illusory Symbol Array was even more effective against the yin evil, leaving Zuo Mo to sigh in amazement at how wonderful it was that things in this world could be both mutually generating and mutually overcoming.

  As Zuo Mo became more familiar with the yin and yang, his techniques also became more skilled.

  He was more focused on observing the dark and sinister techniques used against the divine consciousness. The use of dark energy against the divine consciousness was quite low-level and primitive, but for Zuo Mo, who didn't understand how to use his divine consciousness to attack, it was very suitable. When he encountered the tenth dark energy, Zuo Mo could already condense his divine consciousness into a sharp point, simply by gathering and concentrating the dark energy into a needle-like shape. After practicing several times, Zuo Mo became quite proficient in using this technique, but its power still left him somewhat dissatisfied.

  This thing is still useful for sneak attacks, but if the opponent is prepared, it's basically useless. The first time was just a surprise attack, and there was no preparation, so it was so embarrassing.

  Pu Yao naturally expressed disdain and contempt.

  Zuo Mo immediately focused his attention on the gray needle that Shi Yan had released. Because he discovered that the gray needle was much more powerful than the divine sense needle. So every time, he would push Shi Yan to the limit, making him release the gray needle for him to study. His divine sense was much stronger than Shi Yan's, and after repeated probing, he finally roughly understood the mysteries within.

  The grey fine thorn center is the divine sense, and the outer layer is a thick yin energy. The grey fine thorn is obviously much higher than the divine sense thorn. It consumes less divine sense than the divine sense thorn, but its power is far beyond that of the divine sense thorn.

  Pu Yao's mood was extremely pleasant, he ate more than a dozen yin evil spirits in a row, and his face gained an extra layer of crystal clear luster, the bright red blood pupils, and the blood-colored rhombus crystals on his earlobes became even more vibrant.

  Unlike He Pu's carefree nature, Zuo Mo's mood was quite bad.

  What's more frustrating than finally understanding the subtlety of gray thorns after great effort, only to be unable to apply it oneself?

  How did he control his divine consciousness? He thought it wasn't too difficult, but he wasn't a yin evil spirit, so where did such thick and pure yin energy come from?

  Grey fine thorns must have yin energy to be able to display. A clever woman can't cook without rice, there's no way for Zuo Mo either without yin energy.

  Wait!

  Lowering his head and following behind Pu Yao, a sudden flash of insight occurred in Zuo Mo's mind, and his feet involuntarily came to a stop.

  The pú yāo floating in front of him was somewhat unexpected and also stopped, looking back at him with some confusion.

  He just saw Luo Mo's raised eyes and the barely concealed excitement in those eyes!
