Zuō Mò's divine power has yet to be refined, but Gōng Sūn Chā has already taken over Shí Mén Tān, with an astonishing efficiency that even Zuō Mò can't help but stare in shock.

  This time's loss is smaller than last time, and the number of captured cultivators is more than last time.

  Among them was Xie Shan, the leader of the group. When he witnessed the three-stage wave killing technique perfected by Gong Sun Zan, he realized that the two sides were not on the same level in terms of strength, although there was no great difference in numbers. Reason prompted him to choose surrender.

  When he surrendered and found out that the other side attacked them just for the iron silver mine in Shigumen Beach, he was so depressed that he almost vomited blood. If he had known earlier, he would have let go without hesitation. Who still wants a vein in this small mountain boundary now?

  Mining a mine without puppets and repair slaves would be unimaginably expensive. Xie Shan racked his brains but couldn't understand what these people wanted to do with this mine. However, while he couldn't see through the other party's intentions, he could clearly see the difference in strength between the two sides.

  Those who can survive until now are all with great abilities, and those who can reach the top position are not enough just relying on the cultivation of Condensing Pulse Three Heavy Heavens. Xie Shan naturally has his own unique place. In his view, this group of people is well-trained and does not look like a loose crowd at all, their background must be extraordinary.

  However, when he learned that he needed to be set up with a ban, he was stunned on the spot, and when he saw Zuo Mo again, he was stunned once more.

  A guy with a pulse of one beat per heaven...

  Setting up the seals was a familiar task for Zuo Mo, and in just a short moment, everyone's body was covered with seals. However, the seals were not omnipotent, if someone's cultivation reached the Golden Dan stage, the seals would lose their effect.

  The most promising one to break through the Golden Elixir is Xie Shan, but it's only a possibility. The difficulty of breaking through the Golden Elixir is much higher than that of breaking through the Condensed Pulse. After entering the Condensed Pulse stage, spiritual power will start to grow continuously, and reaching the Three Heavens Realm relies more on accumulation. However, from breaking through the Condensed Pulse to the Golden Elixir, apart from accumulation, epiphany is also needed.

  Zuo Mo wasn't worried at all, of course, and even if he was, it wouldn't make a difference.

  The new camp was set up at Shimen Beach, and Chun Yu's beast pool was also moved over. It wasn't until the three Golden Armor Guards appeared in Xie Shan's line of sight that he finally conceded defeat. The Golden Armor Guards' cultivation seemed to be no higher than his, but the aura of danger surrounding them made him feel a chill run down his spine. When he saw the jujube boat, the last bit of distraction in his mind also dissipated.

  Jing Shi Fa Bao, but it's not something anyone can possess.

  During this period, apart from refining his body, he did another thing. He engraved the three talismans obtained from "Tong Xīn Niú Mó" on the three Golden Armored Guards. With these three talismans, the Golden Armored Guards would continuously absorb spiritual energy and temper their bodies. Although Pú Yāo didn't explicitly state the origin of the Golden Armored Guards, Zuǒ Mò still guessed it. Only after inquiring Pú Yāo did he learn that the reason for the three Golden Armored Guards' formidable power was due to the presence of two top-grade materials: Cāng Lóng Gǔ (Green Dragon Bone) and Yōu Míng Shuǐ (Gloomy Nether Water).

  Canglong bone can't be bought even if he wants to, and the Youming water was used up last time, so it's temporarily impossible to refine new Jinxiaowei. Zuo Mo thought of ways to increase the strength of the three Jinxiaowei. Moreover, where could he find test products as good as Jinxiaowei? Zuo Mo didn't need to worry about the engraving array going wrong at all.

  Looking at it from the left, the reason why the Golden Guards can't be upgraded again is that they can't think like the repairer and keep practicing. The Golden Guards are no different from puppets, and they can only control their existing powers. He engraved three symbol arrays on the Golden Guards, which can continuously temper their bodies and continuously inject spiritual energy. In theory, the three Golden Guards have the possibility of upgrading.

  This is just theoretical speculation.

  After moving to Shimen Tan, the most important thing is to refine the black Pu Tuan. Zuo Mo made a hundred paper puppets in one breath and threw them into the mine pit. The ore vein has mining traces, and the rotten iron silver is not a precious material, but it is easy to sell, and for any sect, this ore vein is a stable source of income. It's just that the small mountain boundary changed suddenly, and this sect did not escape the disaster, and the mine was abandoned.

  The little tower was ordered to control the paper puppet to mine. The mining difficulty of this vein is very small, and the paper puppet can be competent. If it is a more complex and dangerous vein, a higher-level puppet is needed.

  Soon, the rotten iron silver ore was delivered to Zuo Mo's hands one after another. Zuo Mo controlled the Golden Crow Fire, refining the ore and extracting the rotten iron silver. The rotten iron silver had a very soft quality, with an iron luster, they would form unique holes, making them look like rotten iron pieces.

  With the Rotten Iron Silver, Zuo Mo immediately refined a large number of Black Steamed Buns. When his subordinates personally experienced the wonders of the Black Steamed Buns, each and every one of them tightly hugged theirs, afraid that someone would snatch it away. Everyone understood what these Black Steamed Buns represented - as long as they had these Black Steamed Buns, they no longer needed to go and fight with others for Spiritual Qi, nor did they need to worry about their cultivation base collapsing and dying due to insufficient Spiritual Qi one day.

  The team's training enthusiasm suddenly surged, with the Black Lotus Troupe, they could cultivate like before and increase their cultivation. For any cultivator, nothing was more touching than this.

  In such a cruel environment, Gong Sun doesn't need to whip anyone, everyone is training desperately. Hei Lian Pu Tuan lets them see the hope of advancing again, and Gong Sun's tactics, after two real battles, also make them convinced from the bottom of their hearts.

  No one wants to die, as long as they can see hope, everyone is willing to fight desperately.

  The earth's energy poured into the body of Zuo Mo continuously from underground, and the spiritual veins were infected, but instead of making the earth's energy thinner, it became even more dense and full of vitality. This change was beyond Zuo Mo's expectation. But thinking about it again, he felt a bit relieved. The small mountain boundary where the spiritual energy was thinning was developing towards the direction of the You Tian Blood Boundary, an environment that was more suitable for demons.

  The thickening of the earth's energy is also one of the reasons, and the dense earth energy is more suitable for demonic cultivation.

  Zuo Mo's entire body had undergone the tempering of the earth's energy, and for these past few days, he had been meticulously using the earth's energy to temper every part of his body, not even sparing a single hair or fingernail. With the nourishment of the earth's energy, he no longer looked as weak and frail as before, his physique becoming much more robust, and with every movement, he could feel the powerful strength contained within his entire body.

  This is purely physical strength. He tried with a flying sword, and if he didn't use spiritual power, the flying sword couldn't even scratch his skin. Moreover, his skeleton, flesh, and blood had all been tempered repeatedly. Without using spiritual power, he could easily shatter hard granite with one punch.

  Even the skin on his face, he didn't let it go. Pu Yao had advised him not to refine his face, as this would make it harder for him to recover his original appearance later. But Zuo Mo still insisted on refining his face, and now that things have come to this pass, he'll just have to focus on preserving his life first.

  Zuo Mo could feel that every muscle and bone in his body had already reached the limit of what he could currently refine.

  He suddenly realized that he was about to break through.

  He calmed down and slowly absorbed the earth's energy. His body had an excellent affinity for the earth's energy, which flowed smoothly through every part of his body. As he felt the comfort of his flesh and blood soaking in the earth's energy, the energy flowed through his flesh, causing a slight tingling sensation that made him feel numb and itchy.

  The itchy feeling grew heavier, as if countless ants were crawling inside his body. Lu Moqiang endured without moving. He relaxed his body and absorbed the earth's energy continuously, but his consciousness slowly sank into his body.

  His divine consciousness is now more refined than before, the size of his palm hasn't changed much, but his palm is even more solid than before. On the center of his palm, several lines resembling human palm prints have actually appeared.

  Every subtle change in his body became unprecedentedly clear under his divine consciousness.

  The earth's energy grew denser, and in Zuo Mo's body, it reached an astonishing level. Even the meridians filled with spiritual energy were suppressed by the earth's energy. However, the spiritual energy within the meridians didn't seem to be willing to retreat easily. It seemed that a clash between the earth's energy and the spiritual energy was about to occur within Zuo Mo's body, causing his heart to rise to his throat.

  Unexpectedly, the earth energy quickly left the location of the meridians and returned its attention to the flesh, blood, tendons, and bones.

  The earth's energy surged to the extreme, slowly impacting Luo Mo's flesh and bones. Luo Mo couldn't help but tremble. If before, the impact was like an ant's itch, now Luo Mo felt as if there was a saw, slowly sawing through his body.

  He didn't dare move, he knew that this was the earth's energy helping him to rebuild his body. As long as he could endure this intense pain, the benefits he would gain would be immeasurable!

  Under the impact of the earth's energy, every muscle in his body moved slowly, and the originally somewhat loose muscles became more compact and solid. The connection points of the muscles grew wildly under the stimulation of the earth's energy, just like the roots of a tree growing continuously, drilling deeper and taking root.

  What grew and changed was not just his muscles, but also his bones, which were constantly being compressed, with the bone walls becoming thinner and stronger by several times.

  His left leg was trembling like a sieve, and the intense pain made his eyes red, but he didn't make a sound.

  The ground fog spread out and occupied his eyes, everything in front of him was a blur, he couldn't see anything clearly.

  These days, Pu Yao's unreserved guidance has made his understanding of body refinement much deeper. He deeply knows that the longer he can hold on, the more benefits he will gain.

  Wave after wave of unrelenting pain, his whole body was drenched in sweat, and a puddle of sweat had formed under his feet. He didn't know how long it took, but his mind went completely blank.

  There seemed to be a distant voice speaking to him.

  But his mind was a complete blank and he didn't hear a word. The voice, vaguely similar to the one that appeared in his dreams.

  After an unknown period of time, his numb and wooden consciousness gradually recovered.

  The scene in front of me is becoming clearer bit by bit.

  The excruciating pain vanished into thin air, as if the agony that had just existed was never there at all. The whole body felt like it was soaking in hot water, with a sense of comfort rising from the deepest parts, making one want to let out a sigh of relief.

  However, his sweat-drenched body reminded him that the hellish pain he had just experienced was no illusion.

  Zuo Mo endured and continued to indulge in the pleasant thoughts, subconsciously raising his palm.

  When he saw his own palm, he was stunned.
