Zuo Mo studied it for a while and found that the mo matrix that appeared was not complete. There were many places that were too dim and hard to discern. He thought that it would only appear after the third maturation.
※ ※ ※
Sweeping his gaze across the camp, he couldn't help but reveal a satisfied expression. Everyone was cultivating with all their might. He was grateful to his current master. Only xiu slaves that had experienced many masters could deeply feel that the present treatment was like being in a fairyland.
However, the Boss was quite indulgent and allowed him to throw all the treasures he didn't need to Small Tower.
Seven fourth-grade Jingshi a day! Goodness gracious! Back then, he had almost fainted from fear. Even in the present Little Mountain Jie, jingshi was not worth much, but this was still not a small number.
Zuo Mo carefully inspected the Sonic Lightning Walnuts that were being nurtured in each formation battle watchtower. The formation battle watchtowers were engraved with the formation formations of [Yang Fiendish Hard Lightning]. The silver mist that looked like dots of harmless silver mist contained countless tiny hard lightning. The Sonic Lightning Walnuts, after being nurtured by this, were filled with anticipation.
The improvement from Second Maturation was not as obvious as First Maturation, but he could still feel the improvement in his body.
"Um … Pagoda Master, what are these?" Bao Yi asked carefully.
Bao Yi swallowed his saliva, wiped the sweat off his forehead, and asked guiltily, "You want me to take a look?" Every time he faced Small Pagoda and the other two, his head would swell. He regretted it very much. Why hadn't he learned how to guess riddles when he was young?
Lil 'Pagoda ran in front of Silly Bird as though it was asking for praise. Silly Bird used her wings to rub Lil' Pagoda. Lil 'Pagoda instantly smiled and hurriedly flew to the front to lead the way. This fellow was cunning. After coming here a few times, he was already familiar with the place. Silly Bird walked proudly with Lil 'Black on her back as though no one else was present. She slowly walked past the dazed Bao Yi.
Puppet?
They could still afford the compensation of five slave transporting boats.
At the top of the formation battle watchtower, there were seven Sonic Lightning Walnuts floating. They seemed to be floating in water. From time to time, it would even fly inside the formation battle watchtowers, extremely nimble. The roof, the walls, and the floor were constantly releasing silver light spots. These silver light spots were like mist that was constantly being absorbed by the Sonic Lightning Walnuts.
These damned fellows!
Master had taken them in, and allowed them to cultivate. Everyone in Guard Camp held their breath. What Shu Long was most afraid of were the new xiu slaves. The new xiu slaves only had hatred in their eyes. In their eyes, all xiuzhe were enemies.
Just as his imagination was running wild, he saw Small Pagoda sway in front of him. He hurriedly came back to his senses, but suddenly discovered that this time, the three fellows were followed by a row of puppets.
For a miser like Bao Yi, this was no different from cutting a piece of flesh from his heart. Even though he knew that those talismans didn't have much value, no matter how small a mosquito was, it was still meat. Seeing them fall into Lil 'Pagoda's stomach and then not a single jingshi fall out, his heart bled.
The Jade Metal Head was a demonic body. After the second maturation, faint demonic patterns began to appear. The mo matrix appeared on his chest. It was extremely faint. If Zuo Mo did not observe his body closely, he might have missed the minuscule changes.
Nian Lu, who had dragged a group of xiuzhe back day and night, gaped at the beautiful scene in front of him and lost the ability to speak.

The bronze puppets were just one level higher than the paper and bamboo puppets, but they were still relatively common. He twisted his mouth. This kind of bronze puppet, in his hands, would not be able to sell for a good price.
Bao Yi put away some of his underestimation. These puppets might be slightly ugly, but they were very strong. They were pretty good puppets.
He was actually able to receive Master's favor and command Guard Camp. He was both excited and terrified. Happy because he could help Master, terrified because he was afraid he would mess things up.
Looking at the powerful combat abilities of Boss' subordinates, oh, the God of Wealth, he, Bao Yi, had never thought in his life that he could see such a vicious troop with his own eyes!
He felt a heavy pressure. The talismans that he had seized could not be sold. Now that the city was being built, he had to think of a way for Boss to start doing business. Otherwise, if he kept living off his capital, he wouldn't be able to survive in the future.
Bao Yi released a breath. He hadn't guessed wrong. He hurriedly ran over and opened the sack.
In a short few days, Golden Crow City was completely transformed.
The streets were abnormally clean, neatly lined on both sides of the street. The styles of the buildings were all different. There were green brick and red tile courtyards, and pointed little buildings with complex styles and rich colors. Many of the xiuzhe in Golden Crow City came from different places. The floating buildings that were more commonly seen in other cities could not be seen at all. This was out of consideration for safety.
These puppets filed in, and put down the sack they were carrying. A little mountain quickly formed in front of Bao Yi.
He Xiang gritted his teeth. Thinking about those chaotic factions, his head swelled. He suddenly found that ever since he had become the Chief Elder of the Outer Hall, bad luck had been following him. Nothing had gone smoothly.
The fruit trees on both sides of the street were lush and full of fruits, giving off an alluring fragrance. All the empty places, like the corners of the walls, under the trees, were planted with flowers and plants, pleasing to the eye. For these trees and flowers, all the xiuzhe that knew ling farming had come. Many birds had been attracted over, and the place was full of life.
But what Zuo Mo was interested in was the mo matrix on his body.
It could be seen that the person who had designed these puppets had put some thought into it. These puppets should have been used for mining. Their lower limbs were like snakes, with segments of bronze joints. This made them suitable for the uneven ground. The upper half was a traditional human-shaped puppet, but it didn't have two hands, but four.
The blinding jingshi light reflected on his dazed face and lit up the room.
Every formation battle watchtower lit up. The gentle silver light was very beautiful in the night.
In the watchtower at the center of Golden Crow City, Zuo Mo furiously started to dig down. The soil that he dug out was burned clean with Golden Crow Fire. His body had entered the second maturation stage. The maturation process this time was much quieter than the first time.
What he hadn't expected was that Boss did not have them work, but told them to go cultivate. Cultivating was of course a good thing. Even though he didn't know much, but he knew that cultivation was valuable. But he couldn't help but worry. Master's actions might be benevolent, but in the eyes of others, it was a waste. Who would have xiu slaves go cultivate?
A waste! Too wasteful!
Bao Yi bowed to Lil 'Pagoda floating in front of him. His expression was slightly wary. "Pagoda Master, are you hungry again?"
"Shu Long, have them come up one by one. I want to inspect their progress." A message came from the necklace on his neck. His mind shook. Xiuzhe was really mysterious. His necklace should also be a talisman.
He didn't believe that there was anyone in Little Mountain Jie that had the ability to threaten them, unless Clear Sky Old Forefather personally came. He especially admired Boss on this point. Boss seemed to provide his subordinates with jingshi without restraint. A troop of seven hundred people, three thousand and five hundred pieces of third-grade jingshi a day. If converted, it would be seven pieces of fourth-grade jingshi.
His skin was already black and shiny, and these mo matrices were also black. Adding on that the color was extremely faint, it was hard to detect.
But since Master had ordered it, he could only do his best to help Master. Sometimes, he couldn't help but fantasize that if a few experts could come out of Guard Camp to work for Master, then it would be worth it even if he died.
The chubby Lil 'Pagoda tried to put on a proud posture, but people couldn't help but laugh. Behind it, Silly Bird raised her head and puffed out her chest, her fat belly sticking out. Her half-lidded eyes didn't seem like she was looking at anyone. On Silly Bird's head, the antennae on Lil 'Black's head continuously waved as it looked around.
As an experienced merchant, Bao Yi had seen all kinds of talismans. He had naturally seen puppets before. Truthfully, from his perspective, the forging of these bronze puppets was extremely crude.
It would be such an interesting matter to create a troop that cultivated mo!
In the sea of consciousness, Pu Yao excitedly played with the necklace. The little playthings that Zuo Mo had forged had some use.
Taking advantage of the fact that Old Forefather was in seclusion, He Xiang concealed the matter. The other people also knew that the matter this time was too big. If it was reported, everyone would die, so they collectively maintained their silence. The greatest loss this time was the five slave transporting boats. As to the one thousand xiu slaves, their value was very limited.
If he caught them, he would definitely tear them to pieces!
A row of puppets was neatly lined up, each puppet carrying a sack that was larger than their body size.
He had never heard of such an absurd matter.

Lil 'Pagoda nodded repeatedly.
The construction of the city was only half completed. The remaining half was the more difficult part.
"Yes!" he responded in a low voice and hurriedly struck the big drum.
Lil 'Pagoda bent its chubby body and made an action of holding a drum.
Right now, he needed to consider if he should enter the internal conflicts of these factions. There wasn't much time left for him. If he could not finish this before Old Forefather came out of seclusion, he would lose any chance.
Unconsciously, in Bao Yi's mind, Lil 'Pagoda had become his greatest enemy!
What made them want to spit blood was that a few of the leaders of the factions that they had agreed on had died in the ambush this time. The agreement that they had made before had become a piece of scrap paper. These factions would sink into a period of chaos before they would regroup and choose a new leader. This also meant that their work would be delayed.
He really couldn't understand. These days, even talismans, mounts, and insects had become sentient? The three of them had formed a group. Every once in a while, they would definitely come and sweep the area. The strangest was Lil 'Pagoda. It would swallow everything. Talismans, materials, they would all go into its stomach.
He noted it down and threw himself back into the construction of the city.
He had once been like this along the way.
The [Sky Glass Wave] had been upgraded from eighteen to nineteen. Its power had increased, but there was no tangible change.
Of course, he didn't dare to express the enmity inside. Lil 'Pagoda was clearly favored by Boss. If his previous allegiance had been out of helplessness, then now he was completely loyal. Was this a joke? He hadn't even heard of a person that could build such a powerful city by himself, much less seen one. He finally understood now why an expert like Xie Shan was willing to submit to him.
Shu Long was the highest person in charge of Guard Camp. He was an old xiu slave. Different from many people that had just been captured, he had passed through the hands of five masters. This caused him to have some prestige among this group of xiu slaves.
Bao Yi didn't dare to laugh. He didn't dare to offend the three little brats in front of him.
