Chapter 717: Simple Calculation (Additional Chapter for the Leader to Cultivate Immortality Together)

Chapter 717 Simple Calculation (Additional update for the alliance leader to cultivate immortality together~)

After sending the ink paintings away, after noon, Wen Renwan also took Yu'er back to Shangguan's house to celebrate the New Year and pay homage to his ancestors.

On the carriage, Yu'er read a book for a while. She felt a little tired, so she took a rest.

Wen Renwan was at the side, teasing him with a smile on his face.

Shangguan Yi looked at the two of them and felt a lot relieved, but also felt that he owed a lot.

If he hadn't had a special status in the Shangguan family and a lot of people were watching him, he should have been like this, a family of three, enjoying themselves and living a good life.

But now, he is struggling between his family, his father, his wife and his children, and it is very difficult for him to support himself.

Wen Renwan also understood his difficulties but didn't say anything.

As long as Yu'er is healthy and safe, that's fine.

As the carriage was walking, Shangguan Yi suddenly asked, "I don't know what Mo Hua's kid likes..."

Wenren Wan was startled.

Shangguan Yi sighed: "We have done him a big favor during this family dinner, and we should repay it."

Wen Renwan said, "I returned the favor."

Shangguan Yi shook his head, "Ancestor's handwriting is a great gift that others can only ask for. No matter what, I will send you some more gifts to express my gratitude."

"Besides..." Shangguan Yi glanced at Yu'er, looking very pleased.

"Yu'er's spirit is getting better day by day, and she no longer has nightmares. This is also thanks to Mo Hua's care at Taixu Sect."

Wen Renwan nodded.

This is true.

Although she sent Yu'er to Taixu Sect, her original purpose was to let Mo Hua help dispel Yu'er's nightmare.

Not seeking a cure, but hoping for some relief.

Yu'er would not be tortured by nightmares at such a young age, afraid to fall asleep all day and night.

Wen Renwan had been thinking about this matter beforehand, but she didn't expect that it would actually come true.

Nowadays, Yu'er is lively and cute, and she is much better than the haggard and pitiful appearance before.

"If you want to give a gift..."

Wen Renwan thought for a while and said, "Although this kid Mo Hua is young, he has a noble character. If I give him a spiritual stone, he will probably not like it..."

Regarding the spiritual stone, Wen Renwan obviously had a misunderstanding about ink painting...

Then she continued:

"As for gifting spiritual weapons, this kid... although it's not a good thing to say, but his qualifications are indeed... somewhat inferior. His blood, energy and spiritual power are very low. He may not be able to use some high-grade spiritual weapons..."

"He may not be able to use good elixirs now."

"Why don't you give him some formation techniques?"

Wenren Wan listed them one by one.

Shangguan Yi also nodded slightly.

Sending the formation as a gift is both valuable and not tacky, and it can also urge him to practice and learn Taoism, which is perfect.

"What formation should I send?" Shangguan Yi asked.

Wen Renwan thought for a while, "Does your Shangguan family have any treasured formations?"

Shangguan Yi muttered silently in his heart.

You are also the daughter-in-law of the Shangguan family now...

However, he did not dare to say it. Instead, he thought seriously for a moment and said slowly: "Yes, there is, but these are top-secret inheritances, and I can't give them to him privately..."

"Isn't it so top secret?"

"There are, but they are too difficult. If you give them to him, he may not be able to learn them. Instead, he may waste his consciousness and waste his time."

Wen Renwan thought for a moment and said, "It's okay. Mr. Xun has given you guidance. If there are formations that are not suitable for learning, Mr. Xun will not let him learn them."

"That's true..." Shangguan Yi nodded, "Then I will go back to the clan and pick some."

"Yeah." Wen Renwan pondered for a moment, then suddenly his eyes lit up and he whispered: "Bring over some of Shangguan's top-secret formations..."

Shangguan Yi was startled, a little confused:

"This... is not good. If the news is leaked, Mo Hua will be in trouble."

"You are so stupid..."

Wen Renwan frowned, "I won't let you get the Shangguan family's unique inheritance."

"You pick some. Although it is top secret, the Shangguan family has it, and other families also have it."

"Even if he learns ink painting, it doesn't matter. Who knows where he learned it from? Even if others ask, if he doesn't tell, they can't verify it. If we don't tell, it has nothing to do with our Shangguan family. It’s related…”

Shangguan Yi couldn't help but nodded, feeling that it made sense.

Especially the words "our Shangguan family" spoken by Wen Renwan made him feel very comfortable.

"Then I'll go back and look for it," Shangguan Yi said.

The disciples of the aristocratic family have strict requirements for their cultivation. They have to dabble in all kinds of alchemy formations, talismans and weapons.

It just doesn’t require too much proficiency.

Although he also learned formations, he only learned general formations.

Formations that are too advanced, too complex, or truly top-secret are extremely difficult to study, and learning them is half the effort with half the effort. Unless you are a disciple of the formation method in the future, you will not make great efforts to understand them.

Therefore, he still wanted to go to the Hidden Formation Pavilion to see what top-secret formations the Shangguan family had collected after returning to the clan.

"Then, how many grades are you giving?" Shangguan Yi asked Wen Renwan again.

"Give him what he can use now..." Wen Renwan thought for a while, "From the basic first level, to the second level intermediate...the second level high level."

Shangguan Yi was stunned, "Second level high level? Isn't it too difficult? He can learn it now?"

Wen Renwan glanced at Shangguan Yi angrily, "What are you thinking about? He is only in the early stage of foundation building, how can he learn the second-level high-level formation?"

"This is called preparing for a rainy day!" Wen Renwan continued.

"You only gave him the second-grade primary formation. When he reaches the middle and late stages of foundation building, will he still beg you for the middle and high-grade formation?"

"So I just gave him all the second-grade formations at once."

"As for the third-grade formation, it will be after the formation of the elixir, so it's still too early."

Shangguan Yi smiled slightly and said softly, "Wan'er is still thoughtful."

"Then it's settled," Wenren Wan smiled, "You look for it at Shangguan's house, and I'll ask someone to go back to Wenren's house and find a few sets, and find the better ones, and then give them to Mo Hua as a thank-you gift."

"Yes." Shangguan Yi agreed.

After that, the family of three had a harmonious atmosphere.

The Shangguan family left Qingzhou City with a prosperous carriage and a graceful ceremony, and drove to the Shangguan family's mansion in the fifth-grade Shangganzhou.

In front of the Shangguan family's high gate, people lined up to welcome them.

Shangguan Ce went first, followed by the elders.

Shangguan Yi and Wenren Wan also took Yu'er's hands on the left and right, got off the carriage, and walked into the magnificent cave of the Shangguan family.

Shangguan Ce's eyes were calm, and he swept through the crowd without leaving any trace. He glanced at Shangguan Yi and Wenren Wan, and also glanced at Yu'er, a little absent-minded.

Yu'er...

Shangguan Yu.

A gentleman, like Jin and Yu.

This name was chosen by Shangguan Ce himself with great effort, and it contained his expectations.

But this name was chosen before Yu'er was born, before Yu'er was calculated to be doomed by the ancestor of the Imperial Observatory.

Shangguan Ce looked at Yu'er again.

This is his grandson.

I don't know if he will be the only grandson in his life...

Shangguan Ce felt bitter.

On the other side, Yu'er didn't know what she said to her mother, and her little face was full of joy and satisfaction.

Shangguan Ce saw it all, and his heart was filled with unspeakable pain.

"Destined to die young, a fate that will surely die..."

Shangguan Ce sighed slightly, his heart aching.

But he was scheming, and his emotions were not revealed on his face. His face was still majestic and expressionless.

...

After entering Shangguan's house, Shangguan Ce returned to his study.

His study was luxurious and elegant, with a compass in the middle.

"If you can't understand the secrets of heaven, can't see through cause and effect, no matter how high your realm is, you can only become a plaything of others."

The older you get, the more you know, the stronger your cultivation, and the higher the level you come into contact with, the deeper Shangguan Ce feels about this sentence.

It's a pity that the art of heaven's secrets has long since fallen.

Although Shangguan Ce tried every means, he only got some superficial knowledge of the inheritance of the art of heaven's secrets.

The arithmetic of heaven's secrets is a very profound spiritual knowledge, which cannot be achieved overnight. It needs to be understood from the outside to the inside, from the shallow to the deep, and a little bit.

Shangguan Ce also understands this.

He didn't seek to be proficient, but to know a little bit.

But maybe it was because he was too selfish, he couldn't understand the secrets of heaven no matter how hard he tried, and he was confused no matter how hard he looked.

It was as if his eyes were covered by something.

What he saw was just the appearance of his own selfish desires, not the cause and effect of heaven itself.

But in everything, we must be brave to try.

Shangguan Ce planned to start with something simple, such as...

The child named "Mo Hua".

He had this idea when he was at Gu's house.

This name "Mo Hua" was not the first time he heard it.

He had heard about Yu'er's affairs a long time ago.

But this time at Gu's house, he saw Mo Hua for the first time, and at the same time he had a kind of... indescribable subtle feeling.

Looked innocent, but smart.

Looked simple, but had a lot of scheming in his heart.

Although the appearance and temperament are completely different, Shangguan Ce always feels that this child is a little similar to Gu Shouyan, the head of the Gu family, whom he has dealt with for a lifetime.

He has a weird persistence in his actions.

What's even more strange is that this child named Mo Hua, who is obviously just a casual cultivator and looks ordinary, can be appreciated by the Grandmaster Xun of Taixu Sect?

Shangguan Ce was puzzled.

He wanted to calculate.

He was not qualified to calculate Dongxu, he could not calculate Yuhua, and it was very difficult for him to calculate Jindan, but a simple calculation of a small cultivator in the early stage of foundation building should not be a big deal.

It's not too deep, just calculate the origin...

Shangguan Ce began to fiddle with the compass.

The cause and effect of the compass rose and fell, and the qi flowed.

But after only turning one scale, the compass suddenly crashed and trembled violently.

At the same time, Shangguan Ce felt a bloody smell coming towards him.

Shangguan Ce's hair stood on end, and he was trembling in his heart. He immediately threw away the compass, sealed his heart and locked his mind, and dared not peek at any cause and effect.

After a moment, everything disappeared.

Shangguan Ce looked down and saw that there were already cracks on the compass. He couldn't help but open his eyes slightly, and his eyes were already filled with a trace of horror.

"Is the secret of heaven... such a dangerous thing?"

He just picked the simplest child to calculate, and he could also encounter such a dangerous opportunity?

Even...

He didn't even see what this "criminal opportunity" was...

His Tianji arithmetic was too superficial, so he just touched the edge and didn't see the true face of the dangerous opportunity, but escaped a disaster.

Even so, Shangguan Ce's mood was difficult to calm down for a long time.

Mo Hua's face floated in his mind again.

"Is this kid born like this? Or is it that someone has arranged a means to protect his cause and effect?"

"Being a casual cultivator, it is impossible to be born with such a fate."

"Is that...Mr. Xun's method?"

Shangguan Ce frowned, "But Taixu Sect, when did it have such a brilliant secret method?"

"And what is so special about this child that makes it worthy for Mr. Xun to take such pains and try his best to protect him?"

Shangguan Ce thought hard, and finally looked at the compass on the table silently.

The compass is cracked.

This is the backlash of cause and effect.

Shangguan Ce sighed in his heart.

Perhaps everyone underestimated this old Mr. Xun.

This is Mr. Xun trying to remind himself, no, or rather, he is reminding everyone who tries to deduce the cause and effect of the child...

Don’t look at what you shouldn’t see, and don’t count what you shouldn’t count.

Shangguan Ce looked blank, and finally shook his head helplessly.

That’s all.

The arithmetic of heavenly secrets is not enough and cannot be deduced by force, otherwise it will be counterattacked.

I was lucky this time. Mr. Xun may not be so polite next time.

learn from mistakes.

Behind this child, stood Mr. Xun, a highly respected man with Dongxu cultivation. In other words, stood the huge Taixu Gate.

Unless you really break up, you must never offend again.

Shangguan Ce silently remembered the name "Mo Hua" in his heart and stopped asking about it for the time being.

…

On the other side, Mo Hua had already returned to the sect.

After a trip to Gu's house, he played and ate. This year, he didn't go anywhere and just stayed at his disciple Curry to practice formations.

Although it was a little deserted, it was very fulfilling.

The level of Mo Hua's formations is also improving little by little.

He is already familiar with most of the second-level formations of the seventeen patterns taught by Mr. Xun.

And the New Year passed quickly.

In a blink of an eye, it’s a new year.

This is the third year in Taixumen.

Within this year, it is necessary to solve the mystery array, break through the bottleneck, advance to the middle stage of foundation building, and then prepare for the practice after the middle stage of foundation building.

You also need to learn more about the formations of the seventeen patterns.

In the sea of ​​​​consciousness, the loopholes are usually tied to the laws of heaven of one's "spiritual consciousness". It is also necessary to see if it can be filled, or to find a way to repair it.

Also, we need to see if the Gu family's property can be improved.

The Gu family's family dinner years ago made Mo Hua understand that the seemingly prosperous Gu family is also being squeezed out by other families, and life may not be easy.

And Uncle Gu is from the Gu family. The monks of the Gu family are also very kind to me. He even had a secret order from the Gu family in his hand.

In other words, the Gu family can be regarded as his "backstage".

When the Gu family is prosperous, he can often go out to eat.

If you encounter difficulties in the future, the Gu family will be able to help you.

If the Gu family is really in dire straits and has too much time to take care of themselves, let alone asking the Gu family to help in times of crisis, even if they go to have a meal, there will probably be no table left.

Therefore, the Gu family must not decline!

Mo Hua said silently in his heart.

However, this kind of thing is more complicated and needs to be considered in the long run...

…

After that, Mo Hua practiced cultivation and broke through the bottleneck little by little, while thinking about the Gu family's Taoist industry.

But before I could think about the matter of cultivating the Taoist industry, something else came to my door.

At noon that day, Mo Hua took Yu'er to have lunch in the dining hall where his disciples lived.

Cheng Mo ran over in a hurry.

"Ink painting."

Mo Hua raised his head and glanced at him, his expression indifferent.

Cheng Mo smiled and said: "Little senior brother."

Mo Hua nodded and motioned for him to continue.

Cheng Mo said, "I have something I want to ask you for help with..."

Mo Hua was a little surprised. After thinking for a moment, he said, "About the formation?"

If Cheng Mo came to beg him, it must be something that he didn't understand but he understood.

After much deliberation, Mo Hua came up with the only solution.

As soon as the formation was mentioned, Cheng Mo's head hurt a little, "It is, but it is not..."

Mo Hua took a bite of the chicken leg.

Next to her, Yu'er also took a bite of the chicken leg.

Then both of them looked at Cheng Mo silently.

Cheng Mo sighed: "It's a matter of Daotingsi's reward."

Mo Hua was startled, shook his head and said, "Mr. Xun has grounded me and won't let me go out. I can't do the reward with you."

Cheng Mo also looked disappointed when he heard this.

He really wanted Mo Hua to go with him.

Mo Hua is smart, knows formations, investigations, spells, has rich experience, and has a wide network of contacts...

Anyway, no matter what the reward is, it’s always a good idea to bring an ink painting.

Cheng Mo originally wanted to hug his thigh and hang out with his "little senior brother".

Unexpectedly, in order to let Mo Hua concentrate on learning the formation, Mr. Xun directly issued a "no-foot order".

Since Mo Hua couldn't get out, the speed at which they offered rewards slowed down again.

Seeing Cheng Mo's sad face, Mo Hua said:

"Tell me about the bounty, and maybe I can give you some advice."

Cheng Mo thought for a moment, nodded and said, "That's okay."

Anyway, it was okay, so he ordered some food, sat next to Mo Hua, and chatted while eating.

But as usual, he ordered two more chicken drumsticks, one big and one small. The big one was given to Mo Hua, the younger brother, and the smaller one was given to Yu'er next to him.

"I accepted a reward to catch a snitch. This snitch is in the middle stage of foundation building. His strength is average, but his agility is excellent. He haunts the nearby second-level state border."

"Situ Jian and I have found clues and have been squatting for a long time, but we haven't caught him yet."

"Either he didn't encounter him; or he encountered him, and he was alert in advance and escaped; or he encountered him and was blocked, but his movement skills were too good to catch him..."

Cheng Mo took a big mouthful of meat, "I've been so exhausted these days, I don't think about food and drink, and I've lost weight..."

"For such a small amount of merit, let's waste it. It's a bit of a loss, but let's give up. It's too embarrassing. I really can't swallow this breath."

Cheng Mo looked at Mo Hua again and said regretfully: "It would be great if you were here. Even without using magic, you can set up a formation to trap the snitch."

Mo Hua asked doubtfully: "You also know how to set up formations, right? Didn't you learn them all in the formation class?"

Cheng Mo waved his hand and said helplessly:

"No, it's too routine. The snitch is very experienced. He can tell at a glance what kind of formation matchmaker he is and where it is placed."

"And if the formation is not effective, it may not be able to trap..."

Mo Hua nodded slightly, suddenly startled, as if he remembered something, and glanced at Cheng Mo with a strange look on his face.

Cheng Mo felt a little uncomfortable being looked at by Mo Hua and asked, "What's wrong..."

Mo Hua thought for a while and asked:

"Are you well-off?"

Cheng Mo suddenly frowned, "I have very few merits."

"It's not merit," Mo Hua asked, "it's your spirit stone."

"Spiritual stone?"

"Yeah, spirit stone."

Mentioning the spirit stone, Cheng Mo immediately became wealthy again:

"I have so many spirit stones!"

Mo Hua nodded and looked at Cheng Mo thoughtfully, his eyes slightly bright, as if looking at a very fat sheep.
