Chapter Two Hundred and Sixteen – Gongsun Cha’s First Battle

It had been so hard to think of the yin fire bead, but the result was that he couldn’t find yin fiend grounds and form yin beads.

It had been so hard to understand how to forge the Same Heart necklace, but the result was that there weren’t enough materials. Luckily, that Same Heart necklace wasn’t damaged, and had been given back to Gongsun Cha.

Zuo Mo was depressed but he still did what he had to do. He needed to cultivate his consciousness. There was no way around it. Jinzhi was a good thing, but it consumed consciousness and it was a eternal consumption.

As to practicing sword scriptures, Zuo Mo didn’t have that much interest. His five essence sword set had been forged. Even though there was a distance until it was perfect but he was very content with the present progress.

The power of the five essence sword set was very high. At the time, his idea had been very original, but now, he discovered he had made a fatal mistake. The sword formation was formed, but there was no accompanying sword scripture that he could cultivate. Of the five sword essence, other than [Li Water Sword Scripture] and [Ice Dragon Sword Scripture], he only had the appearance but not the substance of the other sword essences

Basically, his five essence sword formation was a paper tiger.

This made him very discontent.

Anyone would not be happy. Spending so many good materials, putting in so much effort, but having made such useless things. However, he temporarily did not have a solution so he could only put it away.

He didn’t practice the move of [Little Thousand Leaf Hands] that Pu Yao gave him. All of his spiritual power was given to jinzhi in this while. He didn’t even need to think about body cultivation either. Any earth energy he gathered would be given in tribute to Pu Yao in the end. It had been a long time since he had done body cultivation. Even though he knew that drawing out the earth energy was good for him, but at this point in time, it really wasn’t worth the cost.

He put the most time on formations. To break through Little Mountain Jie, there were only two paths. One was increasing his own strength. If he could reach jindan, the other jindan would not block him. However, was it possible? Completely impossible!

The other path was what he was doing now, increasing the strength on his hands. Everything to do with commanding the group, he threw to Gongsun Cha. He believed in this battle maniac. He would definitely express the desire for battle which was concealed under those feminine and delicate features.

The remaining question was, what could he do?

Zuo Mo didn’t want to wait around when it came to his own little life, and put all his hopes on Gongsun Shidi.

Therefore, an extremely weighty and meaningful question was put in front of him – how could he increase the power of a group quickly?

Talismans, he threw that away. He didn’t even have enough materials to make the same heart necklace, much less anything else. He did have a lot of materials but that was only if he considered only himself. If he included everyone, there really wasn’t enough. Like the grandiose talismans of the Golden Armor Guards, there wouldn’t be enough money even if Zuo Mo sold himself.

Lingdan, Zuo Mo quickly threw away this method. Zuo Mo himself had never encountered lingdan that could increase cultivation. Slightly less effective were those support-type lingdan. He could make a batch, but against a jindan, it wasn’t enough.

What was left? Formations.

Zuo Mo’s topic of study was the mo matrix. In the beginning, he hadn’t thought of the mo matrix at all. It was completely due to being forced by the lack of ling grains that he had an extraordinarily daring idea. He could carve mo matrixes on all these xiuzhe. The thin ling energy in the air, after automatically gathering under the power of the mo matrix, was very substantial. Even more importantly, they would be able to use the ling power of the jingshi and not have to worry about the impurities of the jingshi harming their bodies.

In comparison, the ling power in the jingshi was much richer than in the ling grains.

Of course, his rational mind suppressed this insane idea.

Right now, they were at war with the yaomo. If he took a group of people with mo matrix carved on them out, there would be only one outcome, being killed for being yaomo.

He had never felt how valuable the mo matrix was before. Now, he had a deep experience of the benefits of the mo matrix. If he couldn’t carve the mo matrix, then he could go back a step. Didn’t Pu Yao say that the essence of the mo matrix was formations?

As long as he could find the formations that could purify the impurities in the ling power, and the formations that could automatically gather ling, wouldn’t the problem be solved?

He had a ready example of the mo matrix. Due to the mo matrix being on his body, and his extremely sensitive consciousness, he could clearly feel every change inside the mo matrix.

The simple-looking mo matrix was far more complex than he had imagined. Zuo Mo’s skill in formations was not low now, especially after having studied the micro formations in dan-making. The formations in the mo matrix had some similarities to those.

Other than formations, there were many pictures that seemed decorative, yet were extremely similar to formations. If he wanted to understand which were useful, and which were not, it would take three to five years.

But in Zuo Mo’s hands, this became a very simple matter. He only had to use his consciousness to sweep across, and then he could clearly detect it.

However, this was just the first step. Even though he had gotten rid of many of the distractions, but the remainder was still hard to work out. Not every formation would have a visible effect, but once they were removed, the entire mo matrix would lose its effect. Other than that, there were some semi-formation constructs. These semi-formation constructs would form a very special kind of formation with Zuo Mo’s flesh and blood.

This was probably these constructs that merged the formations with flesh and blood.

Luckily, this degree of difficulty wasn’t enough to scare Zuo Mo. The yao army was like a guillotinehanging over Zuo Mo’s head. Thinking of breaking through Little Mountain Jie was enough to motivate him.

The present Zuo Mo seemed more like a production xiuzhe.

Alright, he had always been a production xiuzhe, Zuo Mo smiled in self-disdain.

He probably would have never thought that his actions made Pu Yao jump in fright. Pu Yao naturally had his own aims when he had carved the mo matrix and added the yao seed for Zuo Mo. But he never would have expected Zuo Mo to progress so quickly.

In the sea of consciousness, Pu Yao’s expression was heavy as he kept a close look.

Does this guy know just how terrifying the things he was studying right now were … …
