Section 173: Pulling Down Water

  "Jun Yu Cheng, your senior fellow disciple is looking for you." someone shouted.

  "Here." Chun Yu Cheng responded with a sound, carefully putting the larvae into the nurturing symbol array. Only then did he get up and wipe the sweat from his forehead. This year, he was 24 years old, with a dignified appearance, sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, and was a down-to-earth person. Although he had not been in the sect for long, many female disciples had already shown interest in him, but he had rejected them all one by one.

  Compared with romantic love between men and women, he was more interested in raising pets.

  Jun Yu Cheng's cultivation could only be considered average, barely breaking through the foundation building stage. However, no one underestimated him. At 24 years old, he had already obtained the White Jade Token of the Xiangyu Sect, although it couldn't compare to Zuo Mo's achievements, but it was still impressive for someone so young. The Xiangyu Sect's jade tokens were divided into white snake, black python, green lizard, and red dragon categories. In the industry, people often directly referred to them by color, with the White Snake Jade Token being called the White Jade Token.

  Among the crowd on the left, three people obtained jade plaques. Apart from Zuo Mo and him, there was another person named Gong Sun Chan, who had obtained a Butcher's jade plaque. No one could have imagined that Gong Sun Chan, who looked as clean and refined as a scholar, was actually a professional butcher. It was said that he could dismember any spiritual beast into over a hundred pieces within the time it took for an incense stick to burn, with each piece retaining its spiritual energy intact, suffering no more than twenty percent loss of spiritual energy.

  Although Chun Yu Cheng was infatuated with raising them, he wasn't stupid and saw the increasingly worsening atmosphere within the sect. So when he was called upon to go to Huang Mu Jiao, he didn't hesitate at all and agreed. His biggest worry previously had been safety issues, but now that Zuo Mo's formation was complete, the weight on his mind was lifted.

  The conditions of the Araki Reef were much worse than those of the Wu Kong Mountain, but he didn't mind at all. Without the disturbance of the mundane world, he could finally focus on cultivating his spirit.

  When he heard Third Brother Zuo calling him, he hastily put down what he was doing.

  The senior brother is the actual controller of Huangmu Jiao nowadays. Chun Yu Cheng doesn't like worldly affairs, but that doesn't mean he's ignorant. Although he hasn't had any dealings with Zuo Mo Shixiong, he's still being cautious and careful. But so far, he's quite satisfied with the current situation. The series of measures announced by his senior brother, as well as Ling Tian's selfless behavior, have won everyone's support and filled Chun Yu Cheng's future life with hope.

  "Big Brother Shī, are you looking for me?" Chúnyú Chéng was slightly awkward. Ever since Zuǒ Mògē killed Nánmíngzǐ, the seeds of reverence and awe had been sown in everyone's heart.

  But soon his attention was focused on the pond his senior fellow disciple was building.

  This is a rather strange nine-palace-shaped pool, with many arrays of symbols carved on the pool wall and bottom that he couldn't understand, but one or two arrays that he could roughly recognize.

  That is a commonly used nourishing symbol array in breeding, which can make the spiritual beast grow faster.

  When did the senior brother become interested in raising spiritual pets? He was puzzled, as the senior brother was a legend, and rumors had it that he could refine instruments, refine elixirs, cultivate spiritual plants, and many other things, all of which were quite impressive, but he had never heard of the senior brother raising spiritual pets.

  "Wait a moment." Zuo Mo didn't stop, his hands continuously casting out rays of light that entered the pool walls.

  Jun Yu Cheng saw a clue, every time the master brother shot out a ray of light, the pool wall would be crystal clear for a few moments, and the symbol array marks on the pool wall would actually fade away.

  When the last ray of light disappeared into the pool wall, the pool wall became crystal clear, as if polished with crystal, and the symbol array marks on the pool wall completely disappeared.

  Zuo Mo panted slightly, lifted his head and asked: "What spiritual beast is on your body?"

  Chun Yu Cheng was taken aback, and hastily replied: "The flight distance is too long, large spiritual beasts are not easy to carry, they all bring some smaller spiritual beasts, like the spirit butterfly."

  "Hmm, Lingdie? Alright. Sell me a few." said Zuo Mo.

  Sun Yu Cheng hastily said: "A few Ling Die, it's not worth anything, Master can't kill me. I just don't know what kind of Ling Die Master wants? How many kinds?"

  "What kind of spirit butterfly?" Zuo Mo was taken aback and asked back, "Are there many kinds of spirit butterflies?"

  Sun Yu's heart was crying and laughing, but his face didn't dare to reveal a hint: "As far as I know, there are less than 20,000 kinds of spiritual butterflies, and there are over a hundred kinds of spiritual butterfly eggs on my body, but they are all very ordinary varieties." He estimated that his senior brother was infatuated with the spiritual beast, and suddenly wanted to make a fuss about it. However, as he said, these spiritual butterfly eggs were not worth much in themselves, and even if he gave them all to his senior brother, he wouldn't be too heartbroken.

  Zuo Mo revealed an interested expression: "Oh, I didn't know there was so much to learn. Thank you, Shun shixiong, for introducing me."

  "Brother is being polite." Chunyu Cheng then began introducing various spirit butterfly eggs to Zuo Mo.

  It took a good two hours to finish the introduction, and Chun Yu Cheng was so exhausted that his mouth was dry and his tongue was parched, while Zuo Mo listened with dizzy eyes.

  Zuo Mo only now understood that even with the beast pool, it wasn't easy to get something out of it. When he heard Chun Yu Cheng talk about spiritual beasts, his words were logical and clear, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration, indeed, one's skills are specialized!

  Suddenly, an idea sprouted in his mind.

  Why not let Chun Yu Cheng take the lead? Let this insider do it, wouldn't it be much easier to achieve results than if an outsider like yourself did it?

  The more he thought about it, the better Left Mou felt. His original intention was to make crystal stones and not just sit around doing nothing, making some extra money on the side. He had no interest in raising anything else, as he already had enough things to study, and if he added another thing to raise, he would definitely be overwhelmed.

  Jun Yu's words were endless and his eyes shone with a familiar fervor, indicating that he was extremely passionate about animal husbandry.

  When he saw such a determined gaze, Zuo Mo immediately made up his mind and pulled Chun Yu Cheng down.

  Sun Yu Cheng subconsciously saw Zuo Mo's eyes gleaming with a hungry wolf-like gaze, and his heart skipped a beat, his tongue almost tying itself into knots. However, when he looked again, his senior brother's gaze was calm and unruffled, like a Zen master, exuding an air of elegance.

  It was just an illusion! Chun Yu Cheng let out a sigh of relief, straightened his thoughts and continued to speak.

  Zuo Mo pretended to listen attentively while secretly taking out a blank jade slip from his ring and recording some spells.

  Until Jun Yu Cheng finished speaking, he hastily praised: "Jun Shidi's attainments are indeed extraordinary, today has broadened my horizons!"

  "Brother is overpraising me, I'm just a beginner!" Chun Yu said humbly.

  Zuo Mo suddenly asked in a cold tone: "Junior Brother Chun, what do you think of this pool?"

  "My young brother's knowledge is shallow and narrow, I don't understand. I only recognize the nourishing symbol array, it seems to be related to breeding." Chunyu Cheng replied honestly.

  "Brother Chun indeed has a good eye!" Zuo Mo clapped his hands in praise, but with an expressionless face that made him look rather strange. He spoke mysteriously: "Speaking of this pool, I obtained it from an ancient, damaged jade slip, called the 'Nine Heaven Cave Profound True Fantasy Spirit Light Transforming Crocodile into Dragon Pool'!"

  "Jiutian Dongxuan Zhenhuang Shenguang... Huajiao Weilong Chi..." Chun Yu Cheng stared with his eyes wide and tongue-tied, stuttering as he repeated this incredibly long name.

  Zuo Mo's eyes were serious, not looking like he was joking at all. He slowly pulled out the jade slip that had just been recorded: "That ancient damaged slip I read and then it turned to ashes, but unfortunately I don't understand how to raise it, I can only remember a general idea. Shidi, take a look."

  He was certain that this jade slip would be fatally tempting to Chun Yu Cheng. He had deleted a large amount of sensitive content from the jade slip, making it look incomplete, but he believed that even this incomplete jade slip would be enough for Chun Yu Cheng!

  Sun Yu Cheng took over the jade slip with a half-believing and half-doubting expression. To be honest, if not for Zuo Mo's good reputation all along, he would have turned around and left earlier.

  That name, really...

  However, when he saw Yu Jian's first sentence, his body was as if struck by lightning, and he stood still on the spot.

  Zuo Mo didn't rush either.

  He didn't worry about Xun Cheng stealing the technique on the spot, as the things that Pu Yao gave were basically impossible to understand. On the other hand, the tombstone's things were completely easy to comprehend without needing to think too much. Moreover, the most important thing in this cultivation method was building the pool, and the structure of the pool was incredibly complex. Except for Zuo Mo, no one else on the island could figure it out. In fact, even Zuo Mo himself could only build a first-grade Lian Yun Pool.

  Jun Yu Cheng raised his head, his eyes dazed and his expression wandering. After a long time, his pupils finally refocused. Coming back to himself, the first thing he did was to bow his head: "Teach me, senior brother!"

  At the age of twenty-four, he was able to obtain the White Snake Jade Card. Chun Yu's innate talent and skill in cultivation naturally need not be said; at first glance, he understood the value of this jade slip.

  No, it's the value of this set of skills!

  He understands its value more than Zuo Mo!

  Zuo Mo thought he was completely in the right, but this jade slip was a fatal temptation for him!

  Zuo Mo hastily helped up Chun Yu Cheng: "Younger brother, no need to be like this. As fellow disciples on this deserted island, we should naturally help each other." He took the opportunity to throw out his own idea: "I'm a complete amateur when it comes to raising beasts. This pool for transforming dragons... hmm, let's just call it Beast Pool, and have younger brother take charge of it. What does younger brother think?"

  Sun Yuancheng was overjoyed: "What I have been seeking for so long!"

  Being able to take care of the beast pool is a great opportunity to learn and verify, this method is vast and profound, the more I think about it, the more excited I become, I wish I could move here immediately.

  Zuo Mo said, "Now that you and I are in this situation, my junior brother should also understand. The purpose of building the beast pool is to hope for some progress, not just to sit idle and waste our resources, but also to allow us to take root on this barren island."

  Jun Yu Cheng regained some calmness: "Yu Cheng understands!"

  Zuo Mo nodded in satisfaction: "Since it's for profit, then we must calculate our gains clearly."

  Jun Yu Cheng hastily said: "Yu Cheng only hopes to learn this method, and doesn't care about the crystal stone!"

  Zuo Mo shook his head: "Even close brothers have to settle accounts clearly. One thing at a time. The gains from the beast pool will be divided into three parts."

  Just as Chunyu Cheng was about to shake his head and refuse, Zuo Mo said: "Younger brother, don't decline. This is the share you deserve. Hehe, if younger brother feels embarrassed, then put in more effort in your daily cultivation!"

  Zuo Mo started from being an outer sect disciple, and many things in the world can be seen through. Only when emotions and interests are combined together can such cooperation be stable.

  Sun Yu's heart was filled with gratitude, but he didn't know what to say, so he just nodded heavily. He secretly made up his mind to work hard from now on.

  Zuo Mo smiled and said: "Alright, I'll leave this place to you, brother. If you need any materials, just let me know."

  In the sea of knowledge, Pu Yao had a face full of disdain.

  Zuo Mo nodded in satisfaction and walked away with a swagger.
