Zuo Mo took away a large pile of things.

  Apart from the Five-Colored Pagoda, there was a large pile of materials of various colors. All the crystals on his body had been spent completely. Anyway, now that he had obtained the Nascent Soul Stage, he didn't need to worry about the problem of being overweight at all. The quality of the materials in the Treasure Pavilion was extremely high-grade, and throughout the Eastern Floating Land, apart from this place, it would be hard to find anywhere else to buy them. Moreover, in his opinion, after this time, the next time he would come to the Treasure Pavilion would probably be in the year of the monkey.

  Anyway, all kinds of materials are useful to him, and there is no issue of loss or gain.

  Looking at the pile of materials in his inventory, Zuo Mo felt a sense of satisfaction that greatly offset the pain of spending all those spirit stones. He also let out a sigh of relief, feeling carefree. Hmph, Pei, now you know what it means to be poor and white.

  Among them are four pieces of cold iron, a bottle of fierce fire dan, a bottle of moonlight flowing sorrow, and a jade slip. The fierce fire dan is the reward, and the jade slip records the symbol arrays that need to be engraved on the four sword blanks.

  Just as Zuo Mo's left foot had just stepped out of the Treasure Pavilion, he heard Pu Yao's urgent and anxious voice: "Is there a crystal stone?"

  "Hahaha......" Zuo Mo couldn't bear it anymore and burst into loud laughter, holding his belly.

  "What's so funny?" The reaction of the newly awakened Peony Demon was apparently half a beat slower.

  "Nothing... nothing..." Zuo Mo exerted great effort to hold back his laughter, and pretended to be serious: "You didn't say so earlier, I just finished buying things, and all my crystal stones are gone."

  "None at all?" The plant demon asked dully.

  "Not one." Zu Mo replied very confidently.

  Able to put on a show, Zuo Mo was extremely happy and pleased with himself, sitting on the Fool Bird's back, humming an aimless tune. The Fool Bird flapped its wings and rolled its eyes, but eventually couldn't bear it anymore, letting out loud cries in an attempt to drown out Zuo Mo's noise.

  Xuemo's mood suddenly turned furious, and without any courtesy, he punched the silly bird's head with a loud thud.

  "What's all the commotion about? Didn't you hear your brother singing?"

  The silly bird was dizzy for a while, and it took a long time to come back to its senses. It flew with its head drooping, weak and spiritless. Zuo Mo continued to shout at the top of his lungs as he chased after it until they finally arrived at the West Wind Yard. As soon as they landed, the silly bird quickly ran to the edge of the water ditch and vomited.

  Zuo Mo glanced at the silly bird and hummed: "Not being able to appreciate Ge's beauty is your greatest sin..."

  Returning to his own hut, Zuo Mo gradually fell into deep thought as he carefully considered everything that had happened today.

  There are many suspicious points in this incident. For example, Lin Qian's identity, when he first met Lin Qian, Lin Qian showed that he was a stranger who knew nothing about Dong Fu. But now it seems that he is quite familiar with the owner of Duo Bao Fei Ge. What makes Zuo Mo even more surprised is that he calls Su his junior sister, but Su doesn't seem to know him.

  The origin of Su has always been a mystery, and now with the addition of a more mysterious Lin Qian, Zuo Mo suddenly feels that things are a bit confusing.

  It's still okay, but Lin Qian, who always had a smile on his face, made Zuo Mo unable to see through him at all. Behind the warm and gentle smile, there seemed to be something that made Zuo Mo subconsciously vigilant. It was precisely because of this that he insisted on buying the Five-Colored Tower today. Although it cost him crystal stones, seeking a sense of psychological comfort and avoiding the feeling of owing someone a favor was really terrible. And owing a favor to someone whose background was completely unknown was not only terrible but also very dangerous.

  There's still much for me to do, I still need to go find answers!

  Left as it is said to oneself.

  His attention shifted to the Five Color Pagoda he had bought today. This was an unrefined five-element artifact, no wonder it couldn't be sold in Dong Fu. Thinking about it, Zuo Mo also roughly understood, Dong Fu valued sword cultivation, and most cultivators who practiced the five elements were alchemists or artifact refiners. Dong Fu didn't have many wealthy alchemists or artifact refiners who could afford to spend fifty fourth-grade spirit stones to buy an artifact at Duo Bao Flying Pavilion.

  An unfinished, half-finished artifact of a magical treasure can be sold for fifty fourth-grade crystal stones, which is enough to prove its extraordinariness.

  Zuo Mo couldn't help but feel fortunate about his luck. If the Five-Colored Pagoda was really refined, with his own poor cultivation, he would be completely unable to control it.

  After carefully reading the jade slip left by that loose cultivator, Zuo Mo roughly understood the intentions of this loose cultivator. He couldn't help but feel astonished - this loose cultivator had a really big ambition!

  This loose cultivator wants to refine the Five-Colored Pagoda into a complete Five Elements world. The five groups of Five Elements essence will undergo continuous refinement, eventually generating the Five Elements origin, which will be born and overcome each other within the pagoda, forming a stable and balanced small world. The Five Elements essence will freely evolve and change within the pagoda, as for what this Five Elements world will become, even the loose cultivator who started it all doesn't know.

  Of course, this is only the ultimate goal of its refiner. The loose cultivator is not an unworldly person, and before achieving the ultimate goal, this treasure still has many wonderful uses. For example, the Five-Colored Pagoda is actually a very unique container, any item that is thrown into it will be quickly dispersed into the five elements' essence. Of course, if the item thrown into it exceeds the grade of the Five-Colored Pagoda, it naturally cannot be achieved.

  Moreover, if used to urge the Five Elements formula, its efficacy will be doubled.

  The Five-Colored Pagoda is an experimental magical artifact, so in the Jade Annals, there are many speculative languages among the alchemists. However, these and Zuo Mo have nothing to do with each other at present, this artifact is far from what he can refine now. Zuo Mo was very skeptical, even if he reached the Condensation Period, whether he could refine it or not.

  However, it can't be refined, and that's not a big deal. Its refiner has already set up the framework, for Mo, what needs to be done is very simple, that is, to put in five-element items.

  He tilted his head in thought for a moment, and then suddenly snapped his fingers, shooting out a strand of milky white flames from his fingertips into the Five-Colored Pagoda.

  The crimson layer in the Five-Colored Pagoda suddenly lit up, and the fireball was thrown into it, quickly transformed into a fiery spirit energy that swirled around the second floor of the pagoda. Metal, wood, water, fire, earth, the pagoda's tip is metal, and the base is earth. Left Mo could clearly feel that the fire spirit energy in the Five-Colored Pagoda had grown stronger by several degrees. The red light on the pagoda's body dissipated, but it was a shade redder than before.

  This situation is both within and beyond Left Mo's expectations. Zhong Sun Huo can increase the fire element, which is not unexpected, but Zhong Sun Huo is a cold fire, this point has no manifestation in the tower.

  After thinking for half a day, Zuo Mo couldn't figure it out and simply stopped thinking about it. Instead, he continued to throw in various materials. Once these materials were thrown in, they would quickly decompose into the five elements essence. However, the color of the tower didn't change at all.

  Is it because of insufficient social status?

  Zuo Mo keenly grasped the key point. The things he had just thrown in were all top-grade materials, but the Five-Colored Pagoda hadn't reacted at all. After hesitating for a moment, he gritted his teeth and threw in a stalk of third-grade Qingmu Xiang. As soon as the Qingmu Xiang was thrown in, the wooden layer's green light suddenly brightened, and the Wooden Spiritual Energy inside instantly became more vigorous.

  His guess was confirmed, but Zuo Mo didn't feel particularly happy, instead he took a deep breath of cold air.

  Good boy!

  Throw in a three-product Qingmu Xiang, the wooden energy inside the tower has only grown stronger by that much. How many high-level materials need to be thrown in to fill it up? The key is, good materials are still needed. Zuo Mo estimated that when the five-elemental energy inside reaches a certain level, even three-product materials may not be enough, and four-product, five-product... will be needed at that time.

  Just like a basin of cold water was poured over his head, Zuo Mo's excitement instantly dissipated. He is now extremely poor and it is absolutely impossible for him to use expensive materials to fill this bottomless pit.

  The idea of continuing to refine it was quickly strangled by Zuo Mo in its cradle, and he began to study how to use the Five-Colored Tower for other purposes.

  While studying Jade Annals, he also explored the Five-Colored Pagoda and was indeed found by Zuo Mo to have a very practical use.

  Zuo Mo suddenly discovered that the five-colored tower's five elements essence could be extracted for his own use!

  This discovery suddenly made him overjoyed.

  Cultivators of the Five Elements often need to cultivate their own elemental essence. For example, a cultivator who specializes in fire element, at the initial stage, he needs to use his skills to convert the spiritual energy inside his body into fire-elemental spiritual energy, and then release the fire-elemental skills. As his cultivation deepens, the spiritual energy inside his body will automatically transform into fire-elemental essence. The fire-elemental essence is more refined than the fire-elemental spiritual energy, and through continuous refinement, the fire-elemental essence becomes increasingly pure, eventually forming the origin of fire element, with every move radiating a fierce flame.

  Zuo Mo was still at the stage where he could only convert his spiritual energy into the five elements.

  But as long as the Five-Colored Pagoda contains the five elements of essence, he can extract the five elements of essence from it and easily use various five-element techniques. Moreover, its power far exceeds his own five-element techniques.

  The only thing that makes him feel regretful is that the five-color pagoda's internal five-elemental energy is being used up bit by bit, and needs to be constantly replenished. Only after forming the Five-Element Origin can it produce its own five-elemental energy, but that is as distant as the stars in the sky.

  Zuo Mo's method of calculation was quite unconventional.

  He calculated the amount of five-elemental energy required to use a certain technique, then converted an equivalent amount of five-elemental energy into how many stalks of third-grade spiritual grass, and then converted the spiritual grass into crystal stones...

  Oh my! So expensive!

  His left hand trembled with unbearable pain, and he immediately made up his mind that he would not use the five elements of energy in the tower unless absolutely necessary.

  These days, good medicine is so expensive! It's affordable to buy but not to use.

  However, the Five-Colored Pagoda is still extremely practical for Zuo Mo. It can increase control over the five elements and can be used in conjunction with spiritual plants, dan-making, equipment forging, and talismans.

  "Not bad little thing." The suddenly appearing Pú Yāo looked at Zuǒ Mò's hand, his face not looking good.

  "Heh heh......" Zuo Mo was seen by Pu Yao and felt a chill in his heart, but his hands didn't slow down as he threw it into the storage ring.

  "Not bad, even the fake seal is gone." The tone of the Pú Yāo became increasingly unpleasant as he finally realized why there was no crystal stone.

  "This is an investment for future crystal earnings, no input, no output!" Zuo Mo muttered with his eyes open, but in his heart he was secretly worried.

  "It seems you're quite dissatisfied with me." The Pú Yāo suddenly calmed down, slowly and deliberately picking at her fingernails.

  Barefooted people are not afraid of those wearing shoes...

  Zuo Mo told himself, his courage suddenly boosted: "Whose fault is it that you always give such useless stuff!"

  "Rotten?" The expression on Pu Yao's face was extremely colorful, with a stupid look.

  It's better not to mention it, but once you start talking about it, the more I think about it, the angrier I get. Jumping up and pointing at Pu Yao's nose, I scold loudly: "You good-for-nothing, how dare you bring this up? What good things have you ever given me? The 'Fetal Breath Spiritual Refining' almost took my life! What's with the demonic core and magic seals, which made my spiritual energy not increase at all?! 'Recognizing Scents', recognize your sister! And what about the yin pearls, a group of old guys in the Golden Elixir stage almost had me skinned, deboned, and stewed into a soup! You're such a swindler! A cheating merchant..."

  Pu You stared blankly at Zuo Mo, who was fuming with anger.
