*****************
The black gold worm fell to the ground, motionless. After a while, its antennae shook and it looked around in all directions. Indeed, it was worthy of being a fourth-grade black gold worm, Left Mo thought to himself, praising its agility, which ordinary spirit insects could not possess.
The black gold worm occasionally lifted its head, and the two antennae at the front end slightly trembled as it quickly crawled on the ground. It stopped from time to time, and then rushed forward again. Xiao Mo carefully manipulated his magic trick, closely following behind, not daring to relax in the slightest.
Apart from the Lingtian area, weeds grew wildly in other parts of the valley, which brought some trouble to Zuo Mo. He took out the ice crystal sword that Shi Xiang had given him and used it as a machete. The crystal clear ice crystal sword felt cold to the bone, but fortunately its blade was extremely sharp, making it effective for cutting grass and chopping wood.
Suddenly, the black gold insect stopped for a moment, but it burrowed into the depths of the grass thicket at an even faster speed.
Zuo Mo's spirit greatly lifted!
Carrying the Ice Crystal Sword, he followed closely behind.
The black gold worm stopped in front of a protruding rock, motionless. Left Mo couldn't help but narrow his eyes and carefully examine this large rock. This rock was ordinary granite, about 50 or 60 feet high, and from the outside, it didn't seem to have anything special about it. Was there something mysterious inside this rock?
Anyway, this is also one's own private land, and it doesn't matter how much trouble is stirred up. Taking out the Ice Crystal Sword, he began to dig into this rock.
Although the granite was hard, it was no different from tofu in the face of a third-grade flying sword. In just a moment, Zuo Mo dug out a big hole. As expected, the Black Gold Bug drilled into the hole, which also made Zuo Mo's spirit lift, and his hands moved even faster.
He didn't expect this rock to be much bigger than he had imagined, and after digging for more than half a day, it was seven or eight zhang deep, but still hadn't reached the end. Zuo Mo wasn't a body-refining cultivator after all, and his two arms were like lead, his whole body almost falling apart.
"No more, I'm exhausted." He collapsed onto the ground, panting heavily, and gazed listlessly at the Black Gold Beetle stuck in the cave.
"Brother, you're really stubborn, I'm done for now, sleep first." He said with a bitter smile to the black gold worm, and then fell into a deep sleep in the newly dug cave.
He woke up with a start, his left eye still closed, and everything in front of him was pitch black. He sat up straight. The moonlight seeped through the entrance, making the inside of the cave slightly brighter. The Black Gold Bug remained motionless at the bottom of the cave, its golden markings on its back emitting a faint golden glow in the dark cave.
It's already late, Zuo Mo was stunned for a moment before picking up his Frost Sword again.
"Brothers, let's keep going!"
Ding ding dong dong, the sound of swords clashing against rocks echoed endlessly within the Western Wind Valley.
Luo Mo mechanically dug on until the sky was about to brighten, when he suddenly felt that the Ice Crystal Sword in his hand seemed to be stabbing at nothing. His heart skipped a beat and the fatigue on his face instantly vanished!
With a burst of strength, three cuts and two chops later, the last thin layer of rock wall was severed, revealing a large dark cave behind it.
Zuo Mo's heart skipped a beat!
The black gold worm darted into the black hole without any hesitation, quickly disappearing. Zuo Mo swallowed hard, hesitated for a moment, and then charged into the black hole with his ice crystal sword.
The cave is deeper than he imagined, and as he goes deeper, his heart becomes heavier. There are obvious signs of artificial excavation here, but it seems that no one has been here for a long time, and the air inside the cave is very musty. Who was it that excavated this cave? Is this the place where some predecessor of our sect achieved enlightenment?
This guess made him somewhat excited.
He stepped quickly towards the depths, and between him and the Black Gold Bug, a faint connection was maintained, allowing him to know some of the situations ahead.
Soon he saw the black gold beetle, and in the darkness, the golden spots on its back could be seen from a distance. The black gold beetle was lying on something and refused to leave.
Zuo Mo couldn't help but look around, this was a very simple stone room, in the corner there was a spring, a stone table and a stone bed, nothing else.
When approaching, Mo suddenly jumped in fright!
The black gold insect was actually lying on a pile of bones! Left Mo's heart beat faster, his mouth dry and tongue parched, he suppressed the fear in his heart and walked closer to take a look. This pile of bones didn't know who it belonged to, scattered all over the ground, and looked like it had been there for a very long time. He glanced around, suddenly his eyes froze, and then revealed an expression of crazy joy.
This is indeed the place where our sect's predecessor has passed away!
He picked up the various jade slips and treasures on the ground at the fastest speed, just like a starving person who suddenly saw steamed buns. There were not many treasures, only three or five pieces, and they had not been sacrificed for a long time, so their spirituality had almost disappeared. In comparison, there were many more jade slips, about twenty or more.
After thoroughly searching every nook and cranny, Luo Mo's gaze finally returned to the pile of bones. The Black Gold Bug was perched on top of the bones, motionless, but the golden markings on its back seemed to have brightened slightly.
Only a senior of our sect can sit and meditate here. Having taken such a great advantage, I thought to myself, and then bowed three times to this pile of bones, before lightly burying them in a corner.
Move away the skeleton, and Mo Zai suddenly found a futon under the skeleton.
Rice Dumpling...
He was stunned.
This white cushion is almost identical to the one left behind by that unknown senior fellow in his quiet chamber.
He hastily poured the jade slips he had just picked up in front of him, took them one by one, and infused spiritual power into them. After a while, he roughly understood the cause and effect.
This stone chamber is indeed the place where a senior of our sect achieved enlightenment, but this senior was actually an outer disciple. What's even more unbelievable to Zuo Mo is that this senior who almost formed a Golden Dan and had always been an outer disciple was the former owner of the small courtyard where Zuo Mo lived!
The things in the world are indeed wonderful like this.
Wei Nan sat there, lost in thought. This senior brother of the Wei clan was an outer disciple of their sect three hundred years ago. He had a natural gift - he was extremely sensitive to spiritual energy. So he found that weak spiritual energy and built a small courtyard, diligently cultivating it. Although he had the help of spiritual energy, his innate talent wasn't high, and he could only barely keep up with other disciples.
He has great ambitions and does not want to live a mediocre life, so he racks his brains to come up with all sorts of methods.
In many places, Wei Nan and Zuo Mo are very similar. Wei Nan also chose Ling Plant Husband as his breakthrough point, but his innate talent in the Five Elements was far inferior to that of Zuo Mo. He spent five years struggling to become a Ling Plant Husband. However, Wei Nan did not tell anyone that he began learning alchemy from then on. In terms of alchemy, he still had average talent and spent another ten years before successfully refining his first fourth-grade spiritual dan.
In terms of cultivation, he made slow progress, but his talent advanced rapidly. He was even able to detect the spiritual pulse hidden deep underground. At the age of thirty-seven, he discovered this spiritual pulse.
Afraid of being discovered by the Men of the Door, he quietly opened up this stone chamber.
With the help of Lingmai, he finally reached the Condensed Pulse stage at the age of 40, and at that time, he was still an outer disciple of the sect. Wei Nan was very good at hiding and disguising himself, and no one in the sect had discovered that his cultivation had already reached the Condensed Pulse stage. Due to his mediocre talent, he was afraid that his Condensed Pulse stage cultivation would arouse suspicion among the seniors in the sect, and thus reveal the secret of Lingmai, so he was willing to remain dormant. After years of hard work, he had a modest fortune, and he continued to buy various jade slips, learning all sorts of things, which were quite miscellaneous.
It's also unknown whether it was due to some reason, but during that period, his spiritual power made progress and he was overjoyed. He became more diligent in collecting various jade slips. The stranger and more obscure the jade slip, the more enthusiastic he became. Moreover, no matter how strange and bizarre the jade slip was, he would try it out. By the time he reached fifty years old, there were as many as fifteen kinds of heart methods and techniques that he needed to cultivate every day.
At that time, he already knew that the elixir was hopeless and had given up his mind on the elixir. In the next twenty years, he began to sort out and summarize the various jade slips of mind methods he had collected.
His cultivation is limited, but his vision is very broad, and few cultivators can match him. In addition to many unconventional and obscure mind methods, he has been practicing consistently for 10 or 20 years and has gained a lot of insight. Through the comparison and reference of various mind methods, he finally completed the summary and organization of the various mind methods he had collected throughout his life.
There were twenty jade slips in total, no names, and nothing too profound. They were his last legacy left in this world.
He carefully picked up the jade slip that had fallen to the ground, and his heart was filled with respect for Wei Nan. He took the cushion, went to the spring, scooped up a few handfuls of water, and gently washed it once. Although it had been many years since then, after a slight cleaning, the cushion restored its original snow-white appearance. This cushion was not an ordinary product, it was woven from quiet grass, with a calming effect on the mind, and would not rot or be eaten by insects for a hundred years. It was even rarer than the one in the small courtyard's quiet room.
He put the cushion back in its original place and sat down on it.
A thick spiritual energy was almost about to seep into his skin!
He quickly calmed down, motionless. Beside the couch. The black gold insect was also motionless, eerily quiet, with only the golden patch on its back shining with a golden light.
When he woke up from his meditation, the left eye of Mo couldn't hide its extreme joy. This spiritual vein was much more concentrated than the one in his small courtyard before! If the previous spiritual vein in the quiet room of the small courtyard was a small branch, then this spiritual vein was like the main trunk!
Abundant spiritual energy makes people feel comfortable and relaxed.
With such a high-quality spiritual vein, he can quickly build his foundation. He has already decided that from now on, this place will be his cultivation chamber!
When Lao Mo emerged from the cave, the piercing sunlight outside made him involuntarily squint his eyes. He turned around and carefully covered the entrance of the cave, and also scattered the granite fragments they had dug out among the weeds, without revealing a single clue.
He didn't breathe easily until everything was done.
Just then, Li Yingfeng came with many people to find him. Since there were no houses in Xifeng Valley, if Zuo Mo needed to live in the valley, he would need to build a house. This kind of thing was naturally handled by her, and she personally came to ask Zuo Mo about his preferences and requirements.
After listening carefully to Zuo Mo's request, she waved her hand and the other outer sect disciples immediately sprang into action.
In half a day, the small courtyard was built and named Xifeng Xiaoyuan by Zuo Mo.
The small western-style house became his new home.
