Chapter Two Hundred and Twenty One – What Is Pu Yao Doing?

Zuo Mo quickly made the new product. Compared to the broken box, the new product was like a piece of art.

It was a meditation mat woven from Black Morning Glory,pure black and smooth to the touch. Hair like strands of rotten metal silver forming the formations were in exquisite and complex patterns. If the mat was flipped over, there were five openings that jingzhi could be put in. Zuo Mo had originally planning on making them even smaller to make it much easier to carry, but in the end, he still decided to make them into meditation mats.

His technique of weaving mediation mats was very good.

The meditation mats were named Black Processing Meditation Mats. On the foundation of the ling processing formations, he had added [Mind Concentration] and [Calm Heart] formations. The effect of the black processing meditation mats drastically increased.

In one go, Zuo Mo had used all the rotten metal silver to make five black processing meditation mats.

With the five black processing meditation mats both Zuo Mo and Gongsun Cha steadied their heart. The five black processing meditation mats were not a lot, but if they were used in turns, it could barely suffice.

After giving the five black processing meditation mats to Gongsun Cha, Zuo Mo didn’t care anymore.

His gains this time was not just the ling processing formation. The mo matrix on Zuo Mo’s body was a low level mo matrix called the [Copper Rhinoceros Mo Matrix]. The biggest effect of this matrix was that it could automatically temper his body. But even as one of the simplest mo matrix, after being analyzed, it was found to be composed of hundreds of little micro formations.

Zuo Mo had never seen the majority of these micro formations and didn’t know their effects. But after this time, after finishing his analysis, and trying to forge, he had a direct understanding of these unfamiliar formations.

Of the many formations of the Copper Rhinoceros Mo Matrix, there were three formations that Zuo Mo felt were most useful: Ling Gathering Formation, Ling Processing Formation, and Body Tempering Formation.

There had been a detailed introduction about the Ling Gathering Formation in the [Kun Lun Preliminary Formations Jade Scroll]. But the ling gathering formation that Zuo Mo had found this time was different than any kind of ling gathering formation he had ever seen.

It was even more outstanding at gathering ling. The entire formation naturally formed, and was so exquisite that Zuo Mo had sighed countless times at the wonders of nature.

“This isn’t bad,” Pu Yao appeared out of nowhere, and stared at the ling gather formation that Zuo Mo was carving now.

Zuo Mo had long gotten used to Pu Yao’s ghostly appearances. His hand didn’t even tremble.

“Of course I know it is a good thing.” Zuo Mo did not disguise the pride he felt. He glanced at Pu Yao out of the corner of his eyes. “With ge’s skills! How can the things that ge makes not be good things?”

“Oh, not bad, not bad.” Finishing, Pu Yao faintly nodded before disappearing.

Zuo Mo, who had wanted to show off, felt his punch had missed and his chest felt suffocated. However, he was also puzzled. Pu Yao, the guy who did not rise early unless there was something to do, he had just ran over to say that this was not bad?

There was a problem!

Definitely was a problem!

Yet, Zuo Mo couldn’t think of where the problem was. He did not think on it and instead started to work with the ling gathering formation in front of him.

The ling gathering formation he had obtained from the [Copper Rhinoceros Mo Matrix] was exquisite and tiny. The difficulty of carving it was slightly high but the use was also very broad. He could carve this ling gathering formation on talismans and flying swords. Talismans and flying swords could continuously gather ling energy from the air. Over time their intelligence would grow. Any material, if they were put in places with thick ling energy, after being soaked in ling energy, the qualities of the material would gradually be changed for the better.

Zuo Mo had an even more daring idea, to carve the ling gathering formation on the body like the mo matrix. This way the body could constantly take in ling energy from the surroundings. Even though the amount of ling energy taken in each day would be small, but after accumulating for months and years, this amount would be terrifying.

This point, Zuo Mo who had a mo matrix had a direct experience. If it wasn’t that his channels were not able to store ling power before, he would have broken through to ningmai long ago. Even now, his cultivation speed was far faster than normal xiuzhe.

The body tempering formation was using ling power to continuously temper the blood, flesh, bones, and tendons of the body. Other than Dhyana xiu, other xiuzhe would rarely cultivate their body, but in Zuo Mo’s experience, a strong body was not a bad thing. Even more, no time had to be spent on this. It could automatically temper the body. Would anyone refuse?

Most importantly, the three formations that he had analyzed and separated out did not look anything like a mo matrix. No one would connect it to a mo matrix. In these days where yaomo were roaming about, this point was especially important.

After making the Black Processing Meditation Mats, Zuo Mo instantly felt the pressure decrease. He hadn’t found how to use the three micro formations right now. He already had the mo matrix on his body. He didn’t need the three formations.

He decided to cultivate his spiritual power.

According to Pu Yao, the road he was on was Star Spiritual cultivation. To Zuo Mo, Star Spiritual cultivation was slightly novel. Pu Yao’s suggestion was to first strengthen the ten stars, and he had given the related methods. Zuo Mo only had to absorb star power, then feed it back to the stars in his sea of consciousness to enlarge his source.

It was coincidentally night now. He walked out of the room, and raised his head to look at the sky dotted with stars. He split his legs apart, forward and back, his body like a coiled snake raising its head, his mouth slightly open, his hands pushing on the air by the side, making an extremely strange and awkward pose.

His mind empty, the consciousness leaf hand spread its five fingers and faced the far stars like a sunflower.

His breathing slowly disappeared. A thread of star light fell off the star above Zuo Mo’s head. It was like a silver mist, thread after thread swallowed in Zuo Mo’s mouth.

Zuo Mo felt his mind have a mysterious connection with the star above his head. A vast and ancient presence, from a deep and unknown place, crossing countless eras, and came to him. For some reason, his heart felt moved.

A faint silver mist burrowed into Zuo Mo’s mouth, and effortlessly entered his channels. The ling power in his channels were as quiet as a virgin, not having any enmity against the star power that had been absorbed into his body. These threads of star power made one circuit around the channels inside his body, and then entered the space between Zuo Mo’s brows like a sparrow returning to its nest.

In the void above the sea of consciousness, thread after thread of silver mist entered a dim star.

———

Pu Yao looked at the star above his head and then took away his gaze. He opened his hand. On his palm, there was a puddle of black water. In the center of the black water, there was a miniature altar floating.

Nether Pool!

“Finally formed!” Pu Yao said to himself, “Hopefully this will work.”

Finishing, he threw the puddle of black water towards the ground. The hand sized Nether Pool expanded in a blink to a black pond about one and a half mu large. On the altar floating in the center, an enchanting black flame jumped.

Pu Yao flew onto the altar. The black fire surrounded him and burned silently. The black water in the Nether Pool roiled as if there were countless serpents restlessly swimming under the surface.
