For Zuomuo, a very serious problem was placed in front of him - how to spend this huge amount of crystal stone!

  In his view, it was not excessive to call it a severe blow. If the crystal stone had not been spent before Pu Yao woke up, he would not have gotten even one piece. Originally, his intention in betting was that he did not want those three hundred third-grade crystal stones to fall into Pu Yao's hands. Now, however, the situation had not only failed to improve, but he needed to spend even more crystal stones.

  Must be spent before Puyo wakes up!

  If such a large amount of crystal stone fell into the hands of Pu Yao, Zuo Mo thought that he would definitely go crazy. To avoid this worst-case scenario from happening, Zuo Mo decided to take action immediately.

  But before he could even leave the mountain gate, he was summoned by the sect leader to Wu Kong Hall.

  It's better to be low-key and honest, don't provoke the masters, or your own life will be miserable.

  "Xiao Mo." The sect leader lifted his teacup, took a sip, and said slowly: "I heard you don't want to participate in the upcoming trials?"

  "I'm not unwilling to fight, but I'm unable to. You see, the injuries on my body haven't healed yet, and although I don't know who my next opponent is, it's definitely going to be a high-level cultivator in the Condensing Pulse stage. There's no winning or losing, but if I get injured again, it'll only add insult to injury, and I'm afraid it will lay hidden dangers for my future cultivation. I think that this Sword Trial is meant to be a trial by fire, and I've gained a lot from it this time. If I were to prioritize winning over my physical well-being, wouldn't that be putting the cart before the horse?" Zuo Mo said with a thick face.

  Zhang Men looked at Zuo Mo with a smile that was not quite a smile, and Zuo Mo suddenly felt a sense of unease.

  "You're so thoughtful, not bad. However, things have changed a bit now, one of the contestants has withdrawn from the competition, so someone must take their place. Tian Songzi appreciated your performance last time and decided to give you this chance. You should do well and don't disappoint Tian Songzi's expectations. As for your injuries, don't worry, your master won't let you compete with them."

  Zuo Mo was stunned for a moment, and still wanted to participate in the competition?

  Isn't this a must-win situation?

  He and Chong An's trial, others only saw his dazzling and successful side, but didn't know that the preparation he made was so thorough, even the luck was unusually good, to finally win. He found Chong An's previous trial data through a paid gold, found out Chong An's weakness, and fully utilized the huge pressure of the gambling game on Chong An, almost all the methods he could think of were used up, it can be said that he won with great difficulty.

  The gap between the foundation period and the condensation period is still huge, and if he replaces a player, he will be out of the game. Except for killing moves like Yīn Huǒ Zhū that are not suitable for use in large public places, he has almost used up all means.

  Does the leader have to participate in the competition himself? What can he use to compete with?

  He felt a bit dizzy, could it be that the sect leader really thought he was a cultivator in the Condensing Pulse stage like chopping vegetables? No way! He slightly raised his head and glanced at the sect leader, and suddenly shook his head, no matter how he looked at the sect leader, he didn't seem like such an idiot.

  Just as he was lost in thought, he heard the doorkeeper chuckle and say, "You'd better get ready."

  Zuo Mo walked out of Wu Kong Hall with a dazed expression, his mind still reeling from the shock. Could it be...? Was such a thing even possible?

  Just as he sat dazed on the back of the stupid bird, he suddenly heard Pu Yao's voice: "Give me five yin pearls."

  This was absolutely the voice that Zuo Mo least wanted to hear, so much so that when he heard it, his body stiffened suddenly. When did this guy wake up?

  However, he reacted extremely quickly. Pu Yao's tone was very anxious, obviously in urgent need of the Yin Pearl. Without saying another word, he took out five Yin Pearls and handed them to Pu Yao. As soon as Pu Yao received the Yin Pearls, he immediately disappeared.

  It wasn't until now that he felt his heart racing wildly. Damn it, Pu Yao is waking up!

  No! We need to speed up!

  Zuo Mo felt like there was a fire burning under his butt, and he desperately urged the Fool Bird on. He could feel his heart rate increasing rapidly, his mouth and tongue drying up. One hundred and ninety fourth-grade crystal stones! During the trial, he hadn't even seen a single fourth-grade crystal stone, let alone one hundred and ninety of them. Just thinking about this enormous sum possibly not belonging to him made Zuo Mo feel extremely terrible.

  With a strong desire for crystal stones, Zuo Mo once again came to Dong Fu.

  This time he didn't mess around below, he went straight to the highest-end market in Dongfu, the Baobao Flying Pavilion floating in mid-air.

  Baobao Island is the highest-end marketplace in the East, where the most expensive and rare items are sold. Every treasure sold here is a masterpiece among masterpieces, and every material used is extremely rare and precious. The Baobao Flying Pavilion was forged from a small mountain peak using the ultimate law power, allowing it to float in mid-air forever. The restrictions placed on it are countless, and even Golden Dan period cultivators have never heard of anyone causing trouble here.

  This was Zuo Mo's first time visiting the Hundred Treasure Flying Pavilion. If he hadn't had one hundred and ninety fourth-grade crystal stones in his pocket, he wouldn't have dared to come to such a high-end place.

  The mountain wasn't very big, about 70 or 80 acres around, with celestial music lingering and all sorts of spiritual grasses and flowers planted everywhere. The celestial music was something that Zhuo Mo couldn't quite appreciate, but the spiritual grasses and flowers planted everywhere made him, who was familiar with refining elixirs, feel terrified.

  My goodness!

  Here and there are scattered some rare species of spiritual grasses and flowers that can only be found in the Jade Annals.

  Four Treasures of the Study: Brush, Ink Stick, Inkstone and Paper

  No need for any fuss, these fourth or fifth-rate spiritual herbs and flowers are planted there. If the guests who come in don't have a bulging wallet, they'll even be careful about lifting their feet, fearing that if they're not careful, they might trample something and end up paying a fortune in compensation.

  Duobao Feige is a place that never has to worry about being too crowded. Even at peak hours, there's only one customer inside.

  The one who greeted Zuo Mo was a shopkeeper wearing a black silk robe with golden threads. His eyes were extremely sharp, and as soon as he saw Zuo Mo, he enthusiastically came over: "Ah, isn't this Mr. Zuo? Honored guest! Mr. Zuo, your match gave Dong Fu great glory! You fought so well, wow, three consecutive wins, it left me stunned at the time. Being able to receive you today is my good fortune!"

  The shopkeeper's voice was warm but not fawning, his words were both to the point and yet not over-the-top, even the volume was controlled just right, so as not to disturb the customers browsing nearby. What left Mo speechless was that this shopkeeper with a face full of kindness turned out to be a cultivator in the Condensing Period!

  At this moment, the shopkeeper couldn't help but glance at another customer next to him, and indeed, it was also a Condensed Pulse! There were not only two shopkeepers like this, but also two other shopkeepers waiting on the side, all of whom were in the Condensed Pulse stage.

  The cultivator of the Condensing Pulse stage came to work as a shopkeeper, and this stroke completely stunned Zuo Mo!

  In the arena below, cultivators in the Condensing Pulse stage were fighting each other with great fanfare. In contrast, on the Hundred Treasures Flying Pavilion, a cultivator also in the Condensing Pulse stage was merely a shopkeeper.

  Also don't know who is the master of Baibao Feige, and it's estimated that his background isn't ordinary.

  Zuo Mo's zombie face had one advantage - no matter what he was thinking in his heart, his face wouldn't reveal a single hint.

  "Let's see if there's anything handy." Zuo Mo was shocked by his opponent's cultivation and his tone was very polite.

  "Oh, take a look around, if you see something that interests you, I'll come over and give you a detailed explanation." The shopkeeper said with a smile, neither too enthusiastic nor too cold.

  Just one glance and Zuo Mo was dazzled.

  He now has a lot of good things on him, but except for the jade pendant at his waist that can barely be placed in the treasure cabinet of the Hundred Treasures Pavilion, none of the others are worth showing off. Good stuff! Good stuff! Zuo Mo's eyes gleamed with desire as he swallowed hard, his gaze fixed longingly on the treasures in the cabinet, but every time he saw the prices marked on them, it was like a basin of cold water being poured over his head.

  "This flying sword was forged from the deep-sea water crystal of the Wanjili, with each piece of water crystal being above four grades. It has been polished and refined by a famous master. This flying sword is composed of seven sub-swords, with many changes, especially the 'Northern Dipper' attached to the sword body, which can easily form the Northern Dipper Sword Array. If it were in the hands of Master Zuo, who excels at talisman arrays, it would be even more versatile!"

  Left Mo took a look at the price tag: six hundred and forty crystal stones, Xiao Xin's heart skipped a beat, and his gaze hastily turned to another item.

  "This heavenly brocade robe is woven from 16,000 intact strands of Heavenly Ice Silkworm silk. The Heavenly Ice Silkworm silk is extremely resilient and resistant to damage, and it can automatically absorb the surrounding spiritual energy. On top of that, there are seven arrays attached to it, each with its own unique mystical properties, and every single one of them is a practical array. Moreover, the protective abilities of this heavenly brocade robe are incredibly strong... "

  Price: 500 four-star crystal stones! Zuo Mo didn't even lift his head as he walked away.

  Zuo Mo was like a walking horse, moving between different shelves, each piece of treasure was incredibly good, but the price of each treasure made him despair. Later on, he became completely numb and simply looked at the prices first.

  The shopkeeper did not rush or get annoyed, showing excellent professional ethics.

  Zuo Mo suddenly saw something, priced at one hundred fourth-grade crystal stones, and he involuntarily stopped in his tracks.

  A ring as hard as an iron hoop lay quietly there.

  Noticing Lemo's gaze, the shopkeeper introduced dutifully: "This Na Xū ring is a semi-defective product. The refiner originally wanted to refine a 4th-grade Na Xū ring but ultimately failed. This Na Xū ring is slightly larger than an ordinary 3rd-grade Na Xū ring, but smaller than a 4th-grade one. Since the refiner and our boss are acquaintances, this ring was also put here for sale."

  Take an oath of abstinence!

  Zuo Mo's heart surged with excitement! He hadn't expected that the Hundred Treasures Flying Pavilion actually had Void Crystals for sale!

  The so-called Na Xū Jiè is a treasure that can collect and store things. The Ba Bǎo Náng on his waist is also a similar treasure, which can be used to collect and store items. However, the Na Xū Jiè is a more advanced collection treasure than the Ba Bǎo Náng, it not only can collect more things, but also does not increase the weight of the collected items at all, this is where it is more powerful than the Ba Bǎo Náng.

  Nà xū jiè shì jí qí shí yòng de fǎ bǎo, zuǒ mò jī hū xiǎng dōu méi xiǎng, zhí jiē tāo chū jīng shí: "mǎi le!"
