Chapter 6 Spirit Stone

Mo Hua thought for a while in the room, and when Mo Shan and Liu Ruhua finished talking, he changed into casual clothes, then pretended to know nothing and walked out of the room happily.

The family of three was eating. Mo Shan had already eaten, so Mo Hua pestered him to tell interesting stories about hunting monsters.

Mo Shan picked and chose to tell some, such as a one-eyed wolf, a two-headed tiger, and a three-legged wild boar.

Some teams hunted an adult monster, but did not take the monster pill, but took away some worthless fur. When they finally realized it and went back, the monster pill had been taken away by others. The captain regretted it so much that he vomited blood and fainted.

There were also people who caught a strange beast with ancient bloodline, and were directly bought by a large sect at a high price. Since then, they have no worries about food and clothing, but one day, the person disappeared completely...

Mo Hua listened with relish, and knew that there must be blood, danger and cruel things in these stories, but his father deliberately omitted them.

Parents always don't want their children to know the cruel reality and have a simple and happy childhood.

After Mo Hua finished listening to the story, three little heads popped out of the door, looking into the house with black eyes. Seeing Mo Shan and Liu Ruhua at home, they stood up and greeted them:

"Hello Uncle Mo, Hello Aunt Liu!"

The three children were surnamed Meng and lived on the same street. Their family also made a living by hunting monsters.

The elders of the Meng family had a friendship with Mo Shan and lived close to him, so Mo Hua played with them since he was a child. The three of them had similar names. According to the order of birth, they were named Meng Dahu, Meng Shuanghu and Meng Xiaohu.

Among the monsters near Tongxian City, tiger monsters are the most powerful. Naming children "Tiger" is also to hope that they will have the strength and prestige of tigers in the future.

The three children are indeed as their names suggest, with tiger heads and tiger brains.

Mo Hua was the youngest and was born weak and sickly. Mo Shan thought it was unlikely that he would grow up to be like a tiger. Seeing that he had delicate features and was as white and clean as a porcelain doll, he took the character "Hua" from his wife Liu Ruhua's name and named him Mo Hua.

Liu Ruhua saw the three children and gave each of them a bun. The three children said no, but they couldn't help but reach out and stuffed the buns into their mouths, puffing their cheeks and saying, "Thank you, Aunt Niu (Liu)!"

Liu Ruhua's cooking skills were the best in this neighborhood, and the three children envied Mo Hua.

Mo Shan waved his hand, "You guys go play together, remember to come back for lunch!"

Mo Hua and the three children nodded and agreed, and ran out of the door.

Among the three children of the Meng family, Da Hu is honest, Shuang Hu is smart, and Xiao Hu is a chatterbox. The three are older and taller than Mo Hua, and they usually take Mo Hua to play.

Dahu and the other two kept talking all the way, where to dance dragon lanterns, where to set off fireworks, where there are many people, where there are dancing girls with fancy clothes...

But they talked too much and didn't know where to go.

Finally, the few people discussed and decided to go shopping for adults and children!

The end of the year is approaching, and the disciples who entered the sect to study have holidays, and the cultivators who make a living outside go home. Tongxian City is much more lively than usual, and the streets are also crowded.

Some physical cultivators in the Qi Refining Period show off their martial arts, wielding swords and guns, and spiritual cultivators perform some useless but fancy spells, which make the children envious and amazed;

Those who can refine instruments and mechanical arts make some small toys, such as wooden rabbits, puppies, kittens, etc. that will run on the ground with a little spiritual power, as well as various other things, which are dazzling.

Dahu, Shuanghu and Xiaohu had a lot of fun. Everything they saw was new and exciting. Mo Hua played and watched, but at the same time, he kept an eye on the street to see if there were any ways to earn spiritual stones.

After looking around, he finally found that most of the things that can earn spiritual stones have been done by others, and those that no one has done, Mo Hua is not able to do now.

Looking at a group of cultivators who are performing and shouting hard on the street, Mo Hua sighed in his heart that making a living is indeed not an easy thing.

Shuanghu saw that Mo Hua was not very happy, so he asked: "Mo Hua, are you worried?"

Dahu heard it and immediately said: "Is someone bullying you? I'll beat him up!"

Xiaohu also nodded repeatedly, "Beat him! Beat him!"

The elders of the Meng family have told them to take care of the frail Mo Hua since they were young, and Liu Ruhua would also leave a portion for the three children when she made delicious food.

The three children are both grateful and loyal. Whenever someone wants to bully Mo Hua, they roll up their sleeves and rush up to fight with others without saying a word.

And Mo Hua is recognized as the smartest among the casual cultivators in the neighborhood. Sometimes when they don't understand the homework assigned by the teacher, they will come to ask Mo Hua, so the relationship between the children is very good.

Seeing them eager to fight, Mo Hua was a little amused and said:

"No one bullies me, I'm just wondering if I can earn some spirit stones."

Earning spirit stones...

Da Hu and the other two were also worried, they didn't know much.

They could help in fighting, but they couldn't help earning spirit stones.

Mo Hua's heart moved, and he asked again:

"Then do you know how array masters earn spirit stones?"

The cultivation world is vast and boundless. Mo Hua only practices and draws arrays every day. He has limited exposure to many things and has no way of understanding many things. He only knows that becoming an array master can have no worries about food and clothing, but he really doesn't know how ordinary array masters, especially low-level apprentices, earn spirit stones.

Da Hu and the other two often play around, maybe they know something that Mo Hua doesn't know.

Dahu thought for a while, shook his head and said: "The evaluation of the formation master's qualification is very difficult. There is not a first-grade formation master in our neighborhood, and I don't know very well..."

"Not to mention our neighborhood, even the entire Tongxian City, there are not many formation masters, and there are even fewer who can truly pass the qualification to become a first-class formation master. A distant uncle of our Meng family studies formations every day, and passed the exam I haven’t been admitted to the first rank of formation master in twenty years..." Xiaohu shook his head and said in a stunned tone.

"You heard wrong. Uncle Meng is just an apprentice of formations. He wants to have an formation master as his teacher so that he can learn the formations. But when others ask him questions and he can't answer them, they confiscate them."

Shuanghu curled his lips and said, then he clasped his fingers and counted:

"Apprentice, ordinary formation master, first-grade formation master...Uncle Meng is not going to finalize the product. The one who can do it is already a well-known formation master. He is still far away from the final product!"

Mo Hua asked curiously: "Then what does he do for a living?"

"I heard that I help the trading company draw some simple formations, and then earn some spiritual stones, and then use the spiritual stones to buy pen and ink, and then practice the formations, and then I can't become a teacher, so I help the trading company draw formations again..."

"A trading company..."

"Yes, I heard that even if you don't qualify as a top grade or become a first-grade formation master, you can still earn a lot of spiritual stones by just being an ordinary formation master and drawing formations for a trading company, and you won't have to worry about food and drink."

Shuanghu said, and then asked Mo Hua:

"Mo Hua, do you want to be a formation master?"

"Well," Mo Hua didn't hide anything, "I'm too weak to be a monster hunter. If a monster slaps me on the claw, half of my life will probably be lost. I have to find a way to make a living. But. It’s too far to say this now, I’ll see if I can earn some spiritual stones first, and if I can, I’ll treat you to cakes!”

When Dahu and the three of them heard this, they all became happy instantly.

"Yeah!"

"You are so smart, you will definitely earn spiritual stones, and you can also become an array master in the future!"

"Pastry, pastry!"

Children from ordinary casual cultivator families rarely get to eat even ordinary pastries on the roadside.

A few people walked around again. Except for the beautiful little girl, they all walked around again. At nearly noon, they all went home to eat with satisfaction.

After having lunch, Mo Hua told his parents to go out for fun, and then went to North Street in Tongxian City alone.

The North Street of Tongxian City is prosperous and the South Street is bustling.

There are many markets on South Street, which are mainly hawkers and stalls, while there are many businesses on North Street, selling all kinds of spiritual talismans and elixirs. The things they sell are more formal, of better quality, and of course more expensive.

But Mo Hua wasn't here to buy anything, and he didn't have the spirit stone either.

Mo Hua walked from the street to the end of the street, looked at all the shops, and then found a shop with a formation hanging outside the door, but which had the shabbiest and simplest facade and the most deserted business and went in.
