Chapter 725 Breakthrough

"Oh." Mo Hua nodded.

Cheng Mo looked around, and then asked Mo Hua and Situ Jian, "Are you still watching?"

Situ Jian looked at Mo Hua.

Mo Hua pondered for a moment, shook his head, "Let's go back first, there's nothing interesting about alchemy, come back and watch it later when you have time."

"Okay!"

Cheng Mo and Situ Jian nodded.

So the three of them went back home, left Lun Dao Mountain, and returned to the sect.

After returning to the sect, Mo Hua continued to practice, break bottlenecks, draw formations, and refine armor.

But when he was free, he would still go to Lun Dao Mountain to watch the Lun Dao Conference.

The Lun Dao Conference is at least a grand event held once every three years in the Gan Xuezhou world.

Although he didn't participate, he had to learn about it.

What's more, not participating now doesn't mean he won't participate in the future.

Mo Hua calculated that six years later, if his cultivation level was raised to the late stage of foundation building, he might also have to go on stage and compete with the sons of the geniuses of hundreds of thousands of sects.

However, this kind of thing is too much of a show, which is not in line with his low-key and humble temperament.

A tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind.

The protruding rafters will rot first.

These are the master's earnest teachings to him.

So whether or not to participate in the Taoism Conference in the future, Mo Hua is still a little entangled.

But no matter what, this will happen in six years, so there is no rush to consider it now, just wait and see.

The Taoism Conference is still being held as scheduled.

Mo Hua will go and take a look when he has time.

The rules of this Taoism Conference are to discuss elixirs first, then weapons, then talismans, then formations, and finally swords.

There is nothing interesting about discussing elixirs.

Anyway, it's just a bunch of people burning a stove, paying attention to the techniques of alchemy, the temperature, skills, control, etc., and finally rating them based on many factors such as the time to make the elixir, the success rate, and the appearance.

Mo Hua doesn't care much.

In the end, Mo Hua doesn't know who won the championship.

He only knows that it is a senior sister who is two years older than him from the "Danqing Sect".

Danqing Sect is one of the twelve sects in Ganxuezhou, and most of the disciples in the sect also regard alchemy as their lifelong ambition.

Alchemy to save the world, to save the dying and heal the wounded.

Mo Hua inexplicably thought of the first-class alchemist in Tongxian City, Mr. Feng.

He had a strong spiritual consciousness but a weak body since he was a child, and he was able to grow up safely, all thanks to Mr. Feng's treatment and recuperation.

The atmosphere of Danqing Sect gave Mo Hua a feeling that it was a bit like Mr. Feng.

Mo Hua inexplicably had some good feelings in his heart.

Then there was the weapon discussion conference.

Mo Hua paid more attention to it.

Although in fact, his level of weapon refining is worse than his level of alchemy, he still has some knowledge.

Especially in recent times, he has exchanged a lot of weapon refining experience with Master Gu, a third-class golden elixir refiner.

Mo Hua also took the lead in designing the weapon refining array diagram and customized a large number of spiritual weapons. At the same time, in order to make the shape of the spiritual weapon fit the array structure, he did a lot of research.

So even though his actual weapon refining level was still unbearable - because he couldn't swing the second-grade hammer.

But relatively speaking, his vision and pattern of weapon refining had improved significantly.

This is something that ordinary weapon refiners, especially those disciples who are meticulous and learn to refine weapons step by step according to the inheritance system and weapon refining standards, do not have.

At this time, Mo Hua watched others refine weapons, observed more, summarized more, and improved his own weapon refining array design ideas, which was also beneficial.

A few days later, the weapon discussion conference also came to an end.

But the champion of the weapon discussion conference was somewhat beyond Mo Hua's expectations. He did not come from the twelve streams, or from a sect that specialized in weapon refining among the hundreds of dry learning sects, but from Tai'a Sect, one of the eight major sects, which had some origins with Taixu Sect.

"Tai'a Sect..."

Mo Hua was slightly stunned.

He remembered that Senior Brother Ouyang Feng, who had a friendship with him, was also from Tai'a Sect.

However, the champion of the weapon discussion meeting of Tai'a Sect should be one year higher than Senior Brother Feng, and he can be regarded as Senior Brother Feng's senior brother.

And the weapon refining method that won him the first place is a sword forging method.

"Tai'a Sect, sword forging method..."

Mo Hua touched his chin, looking thoughtful.

After that, it was the talisman discussion meeting.

Mo Hua had the least contact with talismans.

The so-called talisman refining, to put it simply, is to consume spiritual power, condense spells, and then seal the spells in the jade talisman that has been refined in advance.

When using it in this way, you can directly activate the spell by activating the jade talisman.

Talismans have a certain threshold of cultivation realm restrictions, but basically do not require the user to consume extra spiritual power.

It is a simple means of supplementing attack.

And talisman refining itself is also a category of cultivation industry integration.

The "jade talisman" used in talisman refining can seal spells, which itself depends on weapon refining and formation production.

As a talisman refiner, the most important thing is spiritual power.

Excellent talisman refiners are all spiritually powerful and proficient in spells, especially those who are proficient in some rare spells or superior spells.

This is naturally insulated from Mo Hua.

Although Mo Hua is a spiritual cultivator, his spiritual roots are poor and his spiritual power is weak.

Although he is proficient in spells, he takes the path of "knowing everything" and is proficient in low-level spells that are common on the street.

What's more, the embryo of the "Jade Talisman" is very expensive.

Mo Hua is reluctant to buy it.

He feels a little distressed when buying some array media and spiritual ink.

For these reasons, among all the categories of cultivation, Mo Hua's talisman refining is the weakest.

Although his grades are 1st A and 6th C.

But among the six "C", refining talismans is the "C" among the "C", and it is just a little short of falling into the "D" level.

So Mo Hua only glanced at the Talisman Conference.

He didn't even look at who won the championship in the end.

After that, it was the Formation Conference.

Even fewer people watched the Formation Conference.

In the Tao Conference, among the four categories of cultivation, elixir, weapon, talisman and formation, the formation was the last.

But the disciples were almost exhausted after watching the first three.

What's more, the next one was the Sword Conference.

Most of the disciples' expectations were placed on the sword and martial arts competitions of the four major sects, the eight major sects, the twelve streams, and the hundreds of schools, where geniuses gathered and thousands of ways competed.

Naturally, they didn't care about the matters of the Formation Conference.

Moreover, among the many categories of cultivation, the formation is noble, but it is also the most boring and the most boring to watch.

The fire in the furnace of alchemy was turned on.

The sledgehammer was swung by the weapon refiner, and sparks flew everywhere.

Refining talismans and condensing spells, the light is overflowing.

Only the formation master draws the formation, and he really draws the formation in a mediocre way.

If it is an expert disciple who is proficient in the formation, it is okay. Ordinary disciples who only learn the general formation inheritance can't understand the doorway at all.

Let them sit by and watch a group of disciples blindly drawing the formation below for a few hours, it is really hard to bear.

Therefore, in comparison, the formation discussion conference is the most deserted.

But Mo Hua is just the opposite.

He is most interested in the formation discussion conference.

Basically, he has watched all the slightly important competitions.

After watching the formations drawn by many disciples, Mo Hua has a rough estimate of the formation level of the Tianjiao disciples participating in the conference.

These brothers and sisters who participated in the formation discussion must be better than himself.

All of them are in the late stage of foundation building, and most of their spiritual consciousness is also 19 patterns.

Occasionally, there will be people with the peak of 18 patterns.

But the 18 patterns are actually just "running with".

The sects of these disciples have a general array inheritance, so it is very rare to be able to select a few disciples with eighteen-pattern spiritual consciousness and specialize in array formation to participate in the array discussion conference.

And the difficulty of the arrays tested is not all nineteen-pattern high-level arrays.

Start with seventeen-pattern, then eighteen-pattern, and finally nineteen-pattern.

This is eliminated step by step.

In the end, those who can stay are all disciples who have nineteen-pattern deep spiritual consciousness in the late stage of foundation building, and most of them have passed the second-grade high-level array master's assessment.

Mo Hua does not know the nineteen-pattern array now.

But this is because his spiritual consciousness is not enough, not because these arrays are difficult.

Even the nineteen-pattern array in the final test, which is relatively unconventional and has a profound array theory - the post-natal eight trigrams Guizang array.

Mo Hua saw it, but did not think it was difficult.

"With this level..." Mo Hua couldn't help thinking in his heart, "Six years later, I won't be able to get the first place..."

Mo Hua thought about it and found it unbelievable.

Gan Xuezhou world, first in the array discussion conference?

He shook his head quickly.

It shouldn't be that simple...

People should not be too ambitious, they should be down-to-earth!

I should not have such conceited thoughts that look down on the heroes of the world!

Mo Hua nodded slowly, calmed down, maintained a humble attitude, and then continued to watch.

He watched until the end of the sword debate.

To Mo Hua's surprise, the top three in the array debate were all disciples of the "Four Major Sects".

The Wanzhen Sect, which specializes in arrays and is named after "arrays", only got fourth place.

The champion was a disciple named "Shen" who looked handsome but looked arrogant and even a little arrogant.

He was wearing a luxurious cloud-white Taoist robe with gold inlays.

Mo Hua recognized this Taoist robe.

The Taoist robe of Qian Dao Sect.

The first in array debate came from Qian Dao Sect...

Qian Dao Sect, one of the four major sects of Ganxue.

That is, the "Qian Dao Sect" written on his sect entry order.

It was the Qiandao Sect, where he went to the sect with the order to join the sect, but was refused admission with a pretentious excuse because his spiritual roots were too low.

Mo Hua still felt a little uncomfortable when he thought about it.

Mo Hua couldn't help curling his lips and muttered in his heart:

"Look down on me..."

Mo Hua thought he was not a petty person, but he had to fight for his dignity even if he didn't eat the steamed buns.

He had to fight for his dignity sooner or later.

He had to eat this steamed bun back sooner or later.

"Qiandao Sect!"

Mo Hua snorted softly and remembered it silently in his heart.

The elders around him, as well as some upper-level cultivators from other sects and families, stood up and congratulated the winning disciples.

Although there were few disciples watching the formation conference.

But it seemed that because of the special status of the formation, the number of elders who came to watch was much more than the previous pill, weapon, and talisman conferences.

The Shen family disciple who won the first place returned the greeting respectfully, but there was still a bit of arrogance on his face.

The elders of the Qiandao Sect all smiled and greeted everyone with a reserved but arrogant look.

It seemed that the first place in the battle array discussion must be in the pocket of the Qiandao Sect.

The battle array discussion conference ended here.

…

After a period of time, it was the most important sword discussion conference.

The sword discussion conference was also held in Lundao Mountain.

When Mo Hua arrived at Lundao Mountain, he realized what the so-called grand event of grand events meant.

The entire Lundao Mountain was really bustling with people, as crowded as mountains and seas.

The mountain was densely packed with disciples from various sects.

Almost every disciple's face is filled with excitement, expectation, envy, longing and other emotions.

Generally speaking, this kind of look will only appear on every disciple's face during the annual vacation.

The ink painting was also affected by the atmosphere, and couldn't help but feel excited.

Cheng Mo and Situ Jian were also there, as well as Hao Xuan.

Especially Cheng Mo, he also broke through the middle stage of foundation building and was upgraded the next year. He had nothing to do for the time being, so he went to Lundao Mountain every day.

He is a physical practitioner and dreams of participating in a sword competition.

The Sword Discussion Conference was held in a separately designated venue in Lundao Mountain.

There are various venues, including mountains and rivers, and complex terrain. They are specially opened up for disciples to form teams of five to practice swordsmanship and martial arts.

There is also a formation above the field.

Mo Hua's consciousness glanced slightly, his eyes were shocked, and he was a little absent-minded.

"Fifth grade..."

These formations are all true fifth-grade formations, and they are not ordinary fifth-grade formations.

It’s a fifth-grade void formation!

The fifth-grade void formation contains the power of space!

only……

Mo Hua frowned, a little confused, "Why is the fifth-grade formation used here?"

Cheng Mo naturally didn't know, and Hao Xuan also shook his head.

Situ Jian explained to Mo Hua: "These formations are used to protect the disciples who discuss swords."

He didn't know much about the fifth-level formations, but Situ Jian was very familiar with the facilities related to the Sword Discussion Conference.

There is not a single disciple in the entire Qianxue State who is not eager to participate in the Sword Discussion Conference.

Situ Jian is no exception.

What's more, he is a sword cultivator himself and has the word "sword" in his name.

If you can get a good name in the Sword Discussion Conference, you will not only be highly regarded by the elders in the sect, but even if you return to the family, you will be regarded as a proud ancestor and have a bright future.

Situ Jian continued: "The sword discussion conference is just a competition, not a real fight for the disciples."

"But we are all Foundation Establishment disciples with similar cultivation levels. Once we use our full strength to attack, no one can really hold back."

"So some seniors from the Qianxue State teamed up to build these fifth-grade void formations to ensure the safety of the disciples."

"After all, those who can join the Qianzhou Sect must either have excellent talent, excellent background, or both. If something happens, it's hard to explain."

Mo Hua was a little confused, "How to ensure safety?"

Compared to the Sword Discussion Conference, the situation is very complicated.

With the formation principles he is currently familiar with, he is somewhat confused as to how he can protect the safety of his disciples under the sword discussion system.

Situ Jian pointed at the disciples participating in the sword discussion, "Before entering the arena, everyone will have a 'fate talisman'."

"The fate talisman and the fifth-grade formation are integrated and will bear the injuries for the disciple. Once the damage received exceeds the limit and the fate talisman is broken, the disciple will be considered defeated."

"At the same time, the fifth-grade formation will be forcibly activated, using the power of the void, to forcibly transport the disciple out of the sword discussion venue to ensure his safety..."

Mo Hua was startled for a moment, and then suddenly realized.

This is how the fifth-grade void formation is used.

"Then this 'talisman of destiny' is somewhat similar to the 'talisman of longevity'?" Mo Hua asked.

"It does look a bit similar, but it's actually far different."

Situ Jian looked slightly solemn and said: "Although this kind of talisman also involves the power of the fifth grade void, it cannot be compared with the natal longevity talisman at all."

"In the entire Qianxue State, basically only the top prodigies from a few top families are qualified to allow Patriarch Dongxu to plant a life-long longevity talisman at the expense of his own resources."

"And such disciples are basically concentrated in the 'four major sects'."

"Although our Situ family has barely touched the threshold of the fifth grade, we are still not qualified to plant this kind of 'natal longevity talisman'..."

Situ Jian sighed.

Mo Hua frowned slightly.

The talisman of longevity...

Before he could think about it, Cheng Mo had already shouted: "It's started, it's started, ink painting, little senior brother, look!"

Mo Hua followed the sound and saw that in a field that was isolated and protected by the formation, the disciples from the two sides had already started fighting.

In this kind of five-on-five battle, the situation is more complicated.

It not only pays attention to personal cultivation and Taoist combat power, but also pays attention to cooperation, strategy and tactics, etc.

In actual combat, the situation is complex and ever-changing.

When I saw ink painting for the first time, I couldn’t quite understand many of the rules.

He could only read and remember.

But there is one thing to say, and it is indeed better than the previous books on elixirs, weapons, and talismans.

Especially when it comes to the competition between the brothers and sisters of the Taixu Sect and other sects.

Because the attitude is related, there is naturally hope.

No one doesn’t want their sect to win.

Therefore, the two teams staggered, catching each other and fighting each other. The physical cultivators had sharp swords and bodies like tigers, approaching the spiritual cultivators step by step.

Lingxiu retreated while releasing spells.

The chance of decisive victory is only a matter of millimeters and fleeting.

A little negligence will cause a series of changes, which are very thrilling and make people feel ups and downs.

I quickly became immersed in the ink paintings.

In a blink of an eye, it was already dark.

Before he knew it, he had been watching it all day.

Mo Hua sighed.

This sword discussion conference is indeed very exciting.

Time flies.

However, thinking that the opportunity was rare once every three years, Mo Hua "indulged" a little and went with Cheng Mo to watch the sword fight when he had time.

As he looked at it, Mo Hua saw something different.

Although it is based on cooperation among fellow disciples, in fact, many sects and fellow disciples do not have such "tacit understanding".

In most cases, they still fight each other.

Then seize the opportunity to use more people to fight fewer people.

This is equivalent to tactics.

The main function of teamwork is to "use more people to fight fewer people".

The tactical purpose is also mostly "use more people to fight fewer people".

Although it looks exciting, it does lack some changes and the tactics are too simple.

These methods are not even as rich as the tactics of the uncles and uncles of Tongxian City's demon hunters who work together to hunt demons, luring the enemy deep into the depths, pressing from a distance and attacking from close, and hunting and killing.

Mo Hua frowned and thought, and then slowly understood.

The demon hunters hunt demons, which is a real life-and-death fight, only talking about practicality and not choosing any means.

And the sword-discussing conference is essentially a kind of "competition".

The disciples of the same sect are not all of one mind, and there is competition between each other.

And some large sects seem to be intentionally letting one or two of their core disciples stand out.

During the competition, let other fellow disciples attack first to consume the opponent's spiritual power and physical strength.

These core disciples will attack only when the opponent's spiritual power and physical strength are almost exhausted, completing the "feat" of fighting one against two or even three, harvesting victory, and attracting other disciples to spread the praises and admire them.

Mo Hua was a little disdainful.

Using the sword-fighting competition to build momentum for the core disciples.

But the key is that the sword-fighting competition is for sparring, so it's okay to play like this.

But if they encounter vicious evil cultivators and cruel demon cultivators in the future, will they play like this?

Those evil demon cultivators are like centipedes, and they will not die stiff even if they die.

If you play like this, aren't you giving them a chance to counterattack?

Or, these core disciples will directly enter the Dao Court or the upper echelons of the family in the future, and will never meet the evil demons on the front line?

Mo Hua shook his head.

But these have nothing to do with him.

He is just "watching the show" at the moment.

Adhering to the idea of ​​knowing yourself and knowing the enemy, Mo Hua still often comes to watch the sword-fighting competition.

Look at other sects, what kind of skills they practice, what kind of Taoism they are good at, and what methods they usually use.

What is the atmosphere of the sect.

Are the disciples harmonious on the surface, but are they calculating against each other behind the scenes.

At the same time, Mo Hua was also thinking in his heart.

What should I do if I go up to fight? What methods can I use?

Mo Hua summarized all these, thinking that if there is a chance in the future, it will be useful.

In addition to watching the sword-fighting conference, Mo Hua's cultivation was not idle.

After working day and night, the mystery in Mo Hua's sea of ​​consciousness was finally completely solved, the bottleneck collapsed, and everything came naturally.

At the end of the sword-fighting conference, Mo Hua's cultivation finally broke through.

Passing the initial stage and entering the middle stage.

The spiritual power is like mercury, becoming deeper and deeper.

Since then, he has become a young cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building.
