Chapter 570 "Windfall"

Master Luo said this, and did not go further.

As the saying goes, only by enduring hardship can one become a master.

If Mo Hua joins the sect of a noble family in the future, joins forces with him and becomes a "human master", then these words will be useless.

If Mo Hua adheres to Taoism and does not change his original intention, with his intelligence, he should also know what he wants to say, and he will naturally have an idea in his heart.

Master Luo looked at the ink painting and saw that the ink painting frowned slightly, looking thoughtful.

Knowing that he understood what he meant, he nodded slightly and said nothing more.

Afterwards, the few people talked about the formation again.

Master Luo said:

"The second-grade formation is divided into three grades: primary, intermediate and high-level according to the division of spiritual consciousness before, during and after foundation building."

"When you first enter the foundation building, the ten lines are the second-level entry formation..."

"The entry-level formation is relatively simple. Although it is the second level, it is not advanced..."

"In the early stage of foundation building, the eleventh to thirteenth lines are the second-level preliminary formations;"

"In the middle stage of foundation building, the fourteenth to sixteenth lines are the second-grade mid-level formations;"

"In the later stage of foundation building, the seventeenth to nineteenth lines are second-grade high-level formations..."

"Second-level formation masters are also divided in the same way, divided into primary, intermediate and high-level formation masters."

"The threshold for a first-grade formation master is very high. It only talks about entering the rank, not the rank. But in fact, all first-grade formation masters should be counted as 'first-grade high-level formation masters'. However, these previous subdivisions are all classified by Dao Ting erased it..."

"When you reach the second-level formation realm, the division becomes more detailed and strict."

"It's not easy to become a second-level formation master, but it's even more difficult to advance to a second-level formation master. Every time you advance to a higher level, you have to take an assessment..."

Master Luo frowned and sighed.

Master Qian was also very helpless.

It's not easy to take the first-grade test, let alone the second-grade...

Mo Hua thought about it carefully and then asked: "As for the second-grade elementary formation master, is it enough if he can draw the second-grade elementary formation?"

Master Luo shook his head and smiled bitterly:

"It's not that simple. The second-grade primary formations include the eleventh to thirteenth formations. The difficulty is also very different..."

"With each additional line in the formation, the difficulty becomes higher."

"You must master the thirteen pattern formation, which is the most difficult among the elementary levels, and you cannot only have one or two pairs."

"Among the thirteen pattern formations stipulated by the Daoting, you must learn at least four or five of them before you can apply for evaluation and be promoted to a second-grade primary formation master..."

"The same goes for the back."

"Master the sixteen-line formation and be promoted to the second-grade mid-level; master the nineteen-line formation and be promoted to the second-grade high-level..."

"Therefore, the formation masters who can truly advance to the second level of high-level formations step by step through the finalization process are all rare. Array masters who are extremely proficient in the second level formations..."

Mo Hua nodded and said: "So, does it mean that in the early stage of foundation building, one can become a second-grade primary formation master?"

He put it slightly understated.

Because his current spiritual consciousness has already reached the fourteenth level. If calculated according to the formation method, learning the second-level formation with the fourteenth level has already reached the threshold of the second-level mid-level formation master...

Master Luo shook his head and said:

"no……"

"Generally speaking, only in the middle stage of foundation building can one become a second-grade elementary formation master. In the late stage of foundation construction, one can become a second-grade intermediate formation master, and a second-grade high-level formation master..."

Master Luo paused and sighed:

"...Either he has broken through and become a golden elixir, or his cultivation has stagnated for too long in the late stage of foundation building and cannot improve. He can only spend one or two hundred years studying formations hard and be promoted to a second-grade high-level formation master... …”

Mo Hua opened his mouth, "Is it so difficult..."

"It's difficult..."

Master Luo frowned into the character "Chuan".

He glanced at Mo Hua. Although he felt that Mo Hua, a child, could not be snatched away by common sense, he still had to understand some "common sense" of Taoism.

He is him, others are others.

Not everyone is a little monster.

"Even if the formation level is a small level behind the cultivation level, this kind of monk can be said to be an extremely talented formation master. Ordinary monks will learn first-level formations during foundation building, and only learn second-level formations in the later stages of foundation building, or even golden elixirs. The formations are all normal..."

Mo Hua said: "Is it because the spiritual consciousness is not enough?"

Master Luo nodded and said feebly: "My spiritual consciousness is not enough..."

"Blood energy and spiritual power can be enhanced through exercises, but spiritual consciousness cannot."

"Most monks cannot cultivate their spiritual consciousness. Except for those who are born with extraordinary spiritual consciousness, they usually have different spiritual consciousness according to their realm, and it is only about the same level..."

"In the early stage of foundation building, you can only have thirteen lines of spiritual consciousness at most. If you want to become a junior formation master, you must learn the thirteen lines of formation..."

"It's very difficult to learn like this."

"Spiritual consciousness is extremely depleted and recovery is extremely slow. Moreover, learning formations in this way is equivalent to crossing a river by feeling the stones. Be cautious and make no mistakes. If you are not careful, you may even run the risk of depleting your spiritual consciousness."

"Even so, if you exhaust your spiritual consciousness for a whole day, you can only practice it two or three times..."

"The formation of the second grade and thirteen patterns is complex and difficult. You can practice it two or three times a day. How can this be enough?"

"When you really understand it, you have to practice until the monkey year and the horse month..."

Master Luo said bitterly.

Mo Hua couldn't help but nodded.

He has a Dao tablet and has practiced a lot of formations. Sometimes he can practice them twenty or thirty times in a night.

Two or three times a day is indeed too little, not enough to fill the gap between his teeth...

With this level of proficiency, it is indeed difficult to understand the formation.

Moreover, monks still have to practice and earn spiritual stones.

Even if they are cultivators of a family sect, they probably won't be idle. They have to deal with all kinds of affairs within the sect and don't have that much time to work on formations every day.

"So..."

Master Luo continued, "Sharpening the knife does not delay the chopping of wood. First, improve your realm and strengthen your spiritual awareness, then go back and learn the formation. In this way, your spiritual awareness will be full and it will be easier to learn."

"I see..."

Mo Hua nodded his head again, and suddenly his eyes lit up:

"So, if I become a second-grade initial-level formation master in the early stage of foundation building, isn't it... still quite powerful?"

"Early stage of foundation building...second-grade initial-level..."

Master Luo choked and didn't want to talk to Mo Hua.

But he thought about it and thought that it was not impossible for Mo Hua to do this...

Master Luo was looking forward to it.

If Mo Hua could become a second-grade primary formation master at a young age in the early stage of foundation building, he might be able to go further in the future...

Master Qian also praised: "If the young master could become a second-grade primary formation master in the early stage of foundation building, he would be a rare formation genius even among the aristocratic families..."

"But..."

Master Qian sighed and said with some regret:

"In Tongxian City, the inheritance and resources of second-grade formations are too scarce..."

Formations are scarce, and pens, ink and paper are expensive.

With Mo Hua's family background, it would be difficult to continue learning.

Master Luo also felt sorry for Mo Hua.

After talking about formations, everyone drank tea again.

As it was approaching noon, the disciples of the school left school one after another, said goodbye to Master Qian respectfully, and then went home for dinner.

Suddenly, a child of five or six years old in the crowd saw Mo Hua, his eyes lit up, and he threw himself into Mo Hua's arms, shouting in a baby voice:

"Brother Mo!"

Mo Hua was slightly startled, and then he realized that the child was Zhou Er.

Zhou Er's surname was Chu, and he was a demon hunter who was good at using traps and taught Mo Hua the trap method. He was the child of Uncle Chu.

Zhou Er's mother was Aunt Jiang who helped Mo Hua's family restaurant.

A few years ago, Uncle Chu was seriously injured and could not hunt demons, so he asked Mo Hua to teach his son some formations so that he could make a living in the future without having to lick blood on the edge of a knife.

Later, when Mo Hua went out to travel, he entrusted Zhou Er to Master Qian.

Master Qian saw Zhou Er's appearance and said helplessly:

"No rules, no manners."

Zhou Er hid behind Mo Hua, showing his little head.

Master Qian's tone was strict, but his expression did not mean to blame him. He seemed to like this little apprentice quite a lot.

Mo Hua touched Zhou'er's head and asked Master Qian:

"Master Qian, how is Zhou'er learning the formation?"

Master Qian said: "He is young and has just started learning. He should memorize some books first, understand some formation theories, and learn one or two formation patterns..."

Mo Hua nodded.

It was noon, and Mo Hua had asked all the questions he should ask, so he got up and left.

Zhou'er was clinging to Mo Hua, so Mo Hua took Zhou'er home, picked some delicious and easy-to-digest food from the restaurant, and fed Zhou'er well, and then asked Aunt Jiang to take him home.

...

In the days that followed, Mo Hua began to practice the second-grade formation without distraction.

Whenever night fell, Mo Hua would sit upright on the bed, sink his consciousness into the sea of ​​consciousness, and practice the formation on the Dao monument.

The formation he practiced these days was the "Second-grade Thorn Formation".

The Thorn Formation is a wood formation.

Once triggered, vines and thorns will grow to trap the enemy, which is a type of five-element trapping array.

The thorn array contains eleven array patterns, which is a relatively simple second-grade primary array.

This is a formation that Mo Hua generated by deciphering the "Five-element Array Flow Diagram" by reversing the source.

This is also the only second-grade formation that Mo Hua has reversed and returned to the source so far...

The "Five-element Array Flow Diagram" traces all the five-element arrays of the Five Elements Sect with a strange "five-element source pattern".

But these arrays have condensed into a "source pattern".

This source pattern is very strange and dangerous, but since it was suppressed by the Dao Monument, it has become much more honest...

Despite this, it is still very difficult for Mo Hua to "decipher" the Five Elements Sect's array inheritance from the source pattern.

First, this kind of reverse tracing consumes a lot of spiritual consciousness.

Mo Hua also needs to learn the formation. Although his spiritual consciousness is strong, it is limited after all, so he can only "decipher" this source pattern when he has time, or when he is tired of drawing the formation or bored.

Second, the formation "deciphered" from the source pattern is random...

Mo Hua does not know what rules or laws the ancestors of the Five Elements Sect used to derive the five elements formation into the source pattern.

Therefore, the formation derived from the reverse source is messy and disordered.

It's like "drawing a lottery"...

The five elements are different, and the first and second grades are mixed.

Mo Hua does not know what formation he "deciphered" will be, which attribute of the five elements, whether it is the first grade or the second grade, and how many formation patterns there are...

Mo Hua can only guess.

The only thing he speculated is that the upper limit of the formation "deciphered" is related to the strength of his spiritual consciousness.

The number of patterns of spiritual consciousness determines the maximum number of formation patterns that can be "deciphered".

Theoretically, Mo Hua's 14-pattern spiritual consciousness should be able to "decipher" a 14-pattern five-element formation at most.

But theory is theory, reality is reality.

So far, the best formation that Mo Hua has deciphered is the second-grade 11-pattern thorn formation that he is practicing.

That's not so bad. What Mo Hua finds most outrageous is that this "source pattern" has no guarantee!

The lower limit is even outrageously low!

Most of what he has deciphered now are first-grade formations, including a large number of formations that are not of the highest grade, and even a set of the lowest-level open fire formation that only contains three patterns!

Although the five-element source pattern includes the five-element formation, it is normal to include these low-end formations.

But Mo Hua still feels that some formations are just the ancestors of the Five Elements Sect, who used them to make up the numbers and "pollute" the source pattern...

Mo Hua sighed, feeling a little helpless.

He could only practice the formation while looking forward to his "good luck" one day and being able to draw...

No, it was "deciphered" a second-grade five-element formation with fourteen patterns!

Before that, he could only practice with these ten-pattern and eleven-pattern formations...

Mo Hua put away his thoughts and practiced the formation on the Dao Monument for a whole night.

When he woke up during the day, he felt that he had not yet finished.

Unfortunately, he had used up the bottles of second-grade spiritual ink that Master Luo and Master Qian gave him, and could no longer actually draw formations.

Seven bottles of spiritual ink were too little, and they could not withstand Mo Hua's use at all. Even if he saved more, it would not last long.

"Learn to use..."

Mo Hua remembered Mr. Zhuang's teachings firmly.

He had a Dao tablet, so "learning" was no problem.

His spiritual consciousness sank into the sea of ​​consciousness, and he practiced formations on the Dao tablet. He did not need pen and ink, nor paper. His spiritual consciousness could also trace back, and he could practice ten times or even dozens of times more than others.

Thinking of this, Mo Hua felt a little fortunate.

"Fortunately, I have a Dao tablet..."

Not only can I practice formations, but I can also hone my spiritual consciousness.

As long as I persevere and keep practicing, I can learn more and more formations, and my spiritual consciousness will become stronger and stronger, so I can learn more and more formations...

This cycle continues, and my spiritual consciousness and formation level will grow like a "snowball".

However, now you can "learn" but you can't "use" it...

Not only the spiritual ink, but also the pen and paper are also a problem.

Mo Hua exchanged a few pieces of second-grade "array paper" from Grandpa An, but it didn't quench his thirst. It was used up soon.

These second-grade array papers are very expensive.

It's hard to buy, but it's too easy to use...

But even so, array paper is already the cheapest array medium.

Other array media such as spiritual tools, array plates, and array flags are even more expensive, far beyond what Mo Hua can afford.

In addition to array paper, there are also array pens.

Mo Hua didn't expect that the array pen is more expensive than the array paper, and the second-grade array pen is easier to wear out than the first-grade array pen.

The second-grade spiritual ink contains more spiritual power and the blood of the monster blood, which is more intense.

The array pen soaked in spiritual ink will accelerate wear.

Poor-quality array pens often become "bald" after being used for a while...

And those durable and top-quality array pens are made of luxurious materials and are expensive. Even if Mo Hua sells them, he can't afford them.

"Is there any way to draw an array without paper and pen..."

Mo Hua touched his chin and thought for a while.

He had some ideas in his mind, but he still needed time to study them.

But even if he didn't use paper or pen, ink was always indispensable...

"Second-grade spiritual ink is made with second-grade demon blood..."

Mo Hua thought of the big tiger.

Drawing blood from the big tiger...definitely won't work. He has a good relationship with the big tiger and can't think of it.

Then...

Find a way to join forces with the big tiger to kill other second-grade demon beasts in the Big Black Mountain?

It eats meat, and I draw blood?

Mo Hua nodded silently, thinking that if it is well planned, this method is still feasible.

Suddenly, Mo Hua was startled again.

Big Tiger...

He then remembered that Big Tiger had also given him some "gifts", which were those storage bags whose owners were unknown.

After Mo Hua returned home, there were too many people to greet, so he forgot about it for a while.

"I wonder what's in the storage bags..."

Mo Hua was a little curious, so he took out the storage bags from under the bed and opened them one by one.

Some of these storage bags were still stained with blood, some were gorgeous and exquisite, and some were gray and dirty, with a bit of weirdness.

Mo Hua opened all the storage bags and sorted them out one by one, and then he suddenly realized.

Some of these storage bags belonged to serious cultivators, and some belonged to demon cultivators.

In addition to the serious spirit stones, spirit tools and elixirs, there were also some magic skills of blood-sucking, spirit-sucking, and replenishing, as well as magic spells of soul-sucking and corpse-refining...

These magic skills and methods are very harmful to people, and they must not be kept. Mo Hua is ready to wait and burn them together to avoid harming others.

There are also some righteous skills and Taoist methods...

As for skills, Mo Hua has already learned the Tianyan Jue, which is useless...

As for Taoist methods, most of them are martial arts for body training, and a small part is magic, which is of the second grade, but it seems to be ordinary magic.

However, Mo Hua is not picky, and can learn it when he has time...

There are quite a few spirit stones, adding up to about tens of thousands!

If it weren't for this storage bag, which has limited capacity and is inconvenient to carry, it would probably be more.

There are also many types of elixirs, including those that restore the soul, replenish blood, avoid poison, remove miasma, and the second-grade Xiaohuan Dan that can save lives...

Mo Hua frowned.

All of these add up to a huge "windfall"!

Mo Hua was surprised and happy, but also a little confused.

Who are the owners of these storage bags?

How did they come to Tongxian City, and how did they die? How did the storage bag get picked up by the big tiger?

Mo Hua searched in the storage bag again, trying to find some clues.

Mo Hua searched for a long time, and finally found a few documents. He saw that they were all "The head of the family wrote in person", "The master of the sect reported" and so on. After reading them, he suddenly realized.

"These cultivators came to Tongxian City for the master..."

Some of them were from the Daozhou family, or their vassal small and medium-sized families, sent by the head of the family or the sect to Tongxian City to find out the whereabouts of the master...

Some of them were from the Demon Sect.

But it is estimated that they are not from any big sects, but just some small forces.

When they arrived in Tongxian City, the two sides fought in Dahei Mountain.

Then in the fierce battle, they either died directly or were seriously injured and were picked up by the big tiger.

Several of the storage bags were broken, and there were traces of tiger teeth biting on them.

It is estimated that the big tiger tore open the storage bag and ate some spiritual objects inside. After refining, it broke through the realm and became a second-grade monster.

As for the other storage bags, it kept them for itself out of gratitude.

Mo Hua thought about it and felt that this was the truth. Even if there were some deviations, it would not be too different.

"Since you have bad intentions towards Master, you can die if you die..."

Mo Hua accepted this "windfall" with peace of mind.

After that, he picked and sorted the things in the storage bag, but accidentally saw a map.

This map is very large, covering the nine states.

The nine states of Taoism, "Daozhou" is the core, located in the center, and is also the location of the central Dao court.

In addition to Daozhou, the other eight states are named after the eight trigrams of "Qian", "Kun", "Kan", "Li", "Gen", "Zhen", "Xun", and "Dui". According to the directions of the eight trigrams, they suppress the heaven and earth and protect the central Daozhou.

"Map of the nine states?"

Mo Hua was stunned and looked at it carefully.

Although this map covers the nine states, the other states only have the general mountain ranges marked, and the specific state boundaries are vague.

Only "Ganzhou" has a state boundary with detailed mountains and rivers.

And in Ganzhou, there is a state boundary, circled with red pen, with small words on it:

Ganzhou, Longdao Mountain Range, the state boundary of the fifth-grade Ganxue.

For the cultivators of Jiuzhou, it is a good place to study.

There are many sects and geniuses.

It is the culmination of the inheritance of formations, elixirs, weapons, and martial arts.

It is the world's best state boundary for learning and seeking the truth!
