Chapter One Hundred and Seventy Two Pu Yao Awakening (2/2)

The familiar sound of jingshi. In his hands, a large handful of jingshi appeared!

It was as if Pu Yao had performed a magic trick. Zuo Mo gaped. After a while, he suddenly reacted and hurried to check his ring.

“You damned renyao, ye will kill you!”

Zuo Mo’s grieving wail echoed across the Desolate Wood Reef!

Presently, Zuo Mo could be considered to have settled down on the Desolate Wood Reef. For a long time, he was required to guard this barren island. When he had come, he had taken a large portion of supplies. This also meant that he would not receive supplies from the sect for a long time.

How to manage them, how to use them to get get stronger, these had became a problem that he had to think about.

He asked Pu Yao for advice.

Pu Yao was unconcerned, “None of my business!”

Having interacted with this guy for so long, Zuo Mo knew what this renyao was like. He wasn’t angry and smirked. “How much jingshi ye has, you know very well. When it’s all spent, all of us can wait to die! Ye will die from starvation, you will die from poverty, in any case, it is still death!”

Pu Yao’s expression was stunned. After a while, he said somewhat unwillingly, “So ignorant. Have you never heard the phrase ‘eat the mountain by the mountain, eat the sea by the sea’ ?”

Zuo Mo heard this, and his mind became alert, “How to eat?”

Pu Yao did not speak, suddenly sinking into thought.

Zuo Mo found it strange but did not disturb him.

After a while, Pu Yao opened, “I will pass on a certain set of arts to you, but you need to help me build a Nether Pool.”

“Nether Pool?” Zuo Mo was puzzled.

“Yes.” Pu Yao did not speak of the detail, only looking at Zuo Mo.

“What’s the purpose of the Nether Pool?” Zuo Mo probed. This renyao looked harmless on the surface but he was still a true yao, even though up until now, Zuo Mo had not seen him do anything evil.

“For my own use.” Pu Yao said shortly.

“Is it hard to build? What materials are needed?” Zuo Mo spread his hands. “There is nothing on this stupid island. You are very clear about what resources I have.” He didn’t want to be unable to build it after he agreed and have to take on a huge debt again.

It was not easy to owe Pu Yao anything. He had first handexperience of this fact.

“It is not complex. That black water lake on the island is enough.” Pu Yao snickered.

At this time, Zuo Mo realized why this guy had said this was a “good place.” So he had been thinking of that black water lake.

No matter how stupid he was, he knew that rare things were valuable. To be able to be targeted by someone like Pu Yao whose eyes were on the top of his head, that black water lake wasn’t so simple.

“Such a big black water lake, to give it to you … …”

Zuo Mo trailed off.

Pu Yao didn’t fall for it. He narrowed his eyes at Zuo Mo. “People shouldn’t be too greedy.”

Zuo Mo instantly faltered. However, his face was now as thick as a city wall, naturally not something that could be defeated by just a sentence. He pretended not to hear it. “You have to tell me at the very least what you are passing on to me. It can’t be something as crappy as that [Fragrance Knowledge].”

“Crap? You just don’t recognize quality when you’re eyes are pressed up against it!” Pu Yao snorted and threw a ball of light at Zuo Mo.

Zuo Mo hurriedly caught the ball of light.

“A Yao Nurturing Pool?” Zuo Mo quickly furrowed his brows, his tone slightly fearful and dissatisfied, as he said, “Do you want me to commit suicide?”

The spell that Pu Yao gave was a method to nurture yaomo. In the world of yaomo, yaomo were divided into high and low ranks. Some high-level yaomo could use secret methods to create all kinds of strange and powerful yaomo that they could control.

Zuo Mo sweated as he examined the knowledge, thinking that the yaomo really had no morals as they did not even let go of their own kind. He had never heard of the yao nurturing methods mentioned, but all of them were cruel and horrible. He couldn’t even imagine how powerful and vicious the yaomo that were raised under these methods would be!

He had no desire to learn at all.

These yao nurturing methods were too cruel. Also, if he took a yao or mo around in public, people would instantly come to exterminate the yaomo.

In such a sensitive time, the terror that xiuzhe felt towards the yaomo had reached a height that they hadn’t reached in hundreds of years.

“You really are idiotic.” Pu Yao said scornfully, “Even if you wanted to nurture yao, there’s no yao to nurture.”

Zuo Mo stilled himself. That was true. The only yao here was Pu. Nurture him? Such an absurd thought … …

Having finally understood, Zuo Mo instantly fell into a rage, “Then why did you give me this? You want to fool me again?”

Pu Yao looked at Zuo Mo like he was looking at an idiot.

“You can’t nurture yao, but don’t you know about beast nurturing?”

Translator Ramblings: Guess who’s back? It’s just a little nap … … really, some people meditate for longer than half a year.

Zuo Mo is a very generous supervisor. Of course, he’s planning to make his own wealth in a way that the elders didn’t expect so he’s fine with not growing ling grains. Here, I think the author really slips in a detail about ling plant farmers. Zuo Mo probably picked the best farmers he could out of the zhuji disciples, but none of them have the jade medal. Zuo Mo got it when he was in lianqi. Since Wu Kong Sword Sect is so large now, this implies that Zuo Mo’s previous achievement was pretty rare in Dong Fu.
