Chapter 727: Demon Refining Mountain

This is the fourth year that Mo Hua entered Taixu Sect.

It is also the school year in the middle of foundation building.

Starting from this year, Mo Hua will learn the cultivation courses in the middle stage of foundation building, and be exposed to the cultivation categories of weapon refining, alchemy and talismans at the second level intermediate level.

And, we need to learn the second-grade high-level formations step by step.

Strive to raise your spiritual consciousness to nineteen patterns within three years.

This is the small goal Mo Hua has set for himself.

He originally wanted to settle on twenty patterns, but he knew in his heart that this was simply impossible.

The twenty lines represent the golden elixir level spiritual consciousness. With his current cultivation level and the growth rate of his spiritual consciousness, it is impossible to reach it in the short term.

After that it was business as usual.

Although the monastic curriculum has changed, the overall framework of the inheritance has not.

The elders who teach and the teachings have not changed.

Therefore, in the middle school year of foundation building, Mo Hua adapted quickly.

Two months later, when the disciples' cultivation was stable and everything was on track, the sect informed Mo Hua and the others:

Demon Refining Mountain is open.

The monastic elder stood in front of the preaching room and said to the disciples:

"Monster Refining Mountain, as the name suggests, is a place for disciples to hunt monsters, hone their Taoist skills, and develop their own bodies."

"This is also the most important source of merit for you in the middle stage of foundation building, besides bounties."

"There are even some bounties that let you hunt monsters."

"The demonic beasts in Demonic Refining Mountain have many varieties, special bloodlines, and powerful strength. There are many rare demonic beast materials that you can't buy even if you have spirit stones."

"Therefore, any sword cultivator, weapon refiner, alchemist, or disciple who needs to refine high-grade spiritual weapons must go to Demon Refining Mountain."

"However, monsters are different from monks..."

The monastic elder paused slightly, raised his eyes slightly, looked at the disciples and said:

"You come from a noble family and have been pampered since childhood. Most of the things you have seen are docile spiritual beasts. You know about monster beasts, but not many disciples have seen monster beasts with your own eyes."

"The demonic beasts have strong blood and strong demonic power. They are very difficult to deal with. They are also cruel in nature and mostly feed on humans."

"Even monsters that eat spiritual grass and drink nectar will kill people if they don't eat people."

"Therefore, the number of people hunting monsters can range from five to ten. And we must be extremely careful to avoid accidentally falling into the monster's mouth."

"You go out to offer bounties, sin cultivators, and demon cultivators. Although they won't reason with you, these evil demons are afraid of the sect and the family behind you, so they may not dare to kill you."

"But once you enter the Demon Refining Mountain, the monsters are so cruel and inhumane that there is really no reason to explain."

"If you are careless and careless, you are very likely to be buried in the belly of the demon."

"What's more, those that can be captured by the ancestors of various sects and thrown into the Demon Refining Mountain are not ordinary monsters, and they are more difficult to deal with..."

The cultivator elder thought for a moment and said slowly, "Although Demon Refining Mountain is open now, according to general practice, at least in the second half of the year, or next year..."

"When your cultivation becomes more solid, and the spiritual weapons and Taoism are almost in line with your cultivation, it won't be too late to consider going to the Demon Refining Mountain to hunt monsters, strip them of materials, and earn merit."

“A sharpened knife will not waste time in chopping firewood, and don’t be greedy for success, otherwise you may suffer the consequences.”

"That's all I've said. As for when to enter Demon Refining Mountain, you can decide for yourself..."

The monastic elder's eyes darkened slightly, and he glanced at the disciples sitting down, "I have one last thing to say to you..."

"If you enter Demon Refining Mountain and are tricked by fellow sects or disciples from other sects, even if you are facing the four major sects, our sect will definitely find an explanation."

"However, if you die in the mouth of a monster simply because you are stupid and reckless, the sect will not be responsible."

"This is not only the practice of Taixu Sect, but also the practice of the entire Qianxue State."

If a child of an aristocratic family is willing to degenerate, he can live in luxury and luxury.

But if you really want to make progress, the pressure will be great and there will be more competition.

But even so, being raised in a large Shen family, the wind can't blow in, and the rain can't get in. Some overt and covert struggles only focus on the interests of the clan and personal future, not life and death, and have never been exposed to the real dangers of the cultivation world.

Therefore, when you enter a sect, you must start to make appropriate changes.

The reward is to let the disciples learn to deal with sinful cultivators and understand the dangers of the human heart.

The Demon Refining Mountain is the second point, to let the disciples know that the monsters are vicious.

So at that time, an ancestor of Qianxue Zhoujie, against all opinions, made this rule:

In the Demon Refining Mountain, if you die in the mouth of a monster, your death will be in vain.

This rule is to let the disciples in the sect have some awareness of risks, know that life is not easy, and understand the horror of death.

Hearing this, the disciples below all looked solemn and felt awe-inspiring in their hearts.

Mo Hua was also a little nervous.

But his nervousness was due to anticipation.

Hunting monsters!

He only felt that the "bloodline" of the demon hunter in his body was about to stir.

There are many things that can be done in Demon Refining Mountain, which has high mountains and deep forests and is crowded with monsters.

But I just don’t know if Mr. Xun will agree to go into the mountain by himself.

Mo Hua pondered silently.

On the surface, Mr. Xun grounded himself because he was not allowed to go out to study.

Demon Refining Mountain is within the boundaries of Qianxue State and within a limited range, so there should be no problems.

But Mo Hua knew that Mr. Xun's purpose was to prevent himself from taking risks and allow him to learn the formation safely.

Demon Refining Mountain is dangerous, and Mr. Xun may not agree to enter the mountain himself.

Mo Hua thought for a moment and decided to ask Mr. Xun first.

Mo Hua went to see Mr. Xun, but as expected, he was rejected by Mr. Xun as soon as he opened his mouth.

Old Mr.

"You have no idea how dangerous the monsters in Demon Refining Mountain are."

"Furthermore, you are not a physical practitioner, and your body is weak; your spiritual power is low, and your spells are not dominant; you do not refine spiritual weapons, so you cannot use monster materials; you draw formations every day, and you are not lacking in meritorious deeds..."

"What are you doing in Demon Refining Mountain?"

Mr. Xun asked Mo Hua.

Although Mr. Xun’s words are somewhat different from the actual situation.

Although his physical body is weak, his body skills are good; his spiritual power is low, but his spells are fast; although he does not refine spiritual weapons, he has Master Gu to help him refine them.

It’s true that he draws formations every day, but how can he not lack merit?

For things like merit, the more the better.

You don’t have to use it, but you can’t help but save it.

Money makes heroes brave.

The more meritorious deeds he had, the more at ease Mo Hua felt. He wished he could accumulate ten or twenty thousand merit points, and it would be a pleasure to look through Taixu Ling for nothing.

But what Mr. Xun said makes sense.

At present, these are not necessary.

It's just that Mo Hua is somewhat unwilling to do so.

Mr. Xun noticed it, shook his head slightly, and thought to himself, Mo Hua, although this child has a good heart and a calm temperament, he has grown up a bit, and in the blink of an eye he has become a handsome and cute young man.

But after all, he is still a bit childlike and likes to join in the fun.

The hundreds of disciples from the Demon Refining Mountain gathered together to form a team to hunt demons, which was indeed very lively.

But can you, a child, join in this excitement?

"Your talent lies in the formation. One handsome person can cover up all the ugly ones. If you use your talent to the extreme, you can also find your own way in the future. You don't have to imitate others..."

"There are some roads you can't walk, and you don't need to walk at all. The formation itself is a smooth road!"

Mr. Xun said earnestly and thoughtfully.

"Oh..." Mo Hua nodded slightly.

Mr. Xun was still a little unhappy when he saw the ink paintings. After thinking for a moment, he flipped his wrist and took out a thick stack of formation pictures.

"You have almost learned the inheritance of the Five Elements and Bagua formations from the seventeen patterns of Taixu Sect. Now learn my method..."

Mo Hua was slightly startled, "Old sir, isn't yours from the Taixu Sect?"

"Something is different..."

Mr. Xun said, "The Taixu Sect's formation inheritance focuses on 'inheritance' and is used for teaching..."

"What I'm giving you now is the real 'research' on the formation."

"Although these formations are also Five Elements and Bagua formations, they are much more difficult than the previous ones..."

Mo Hua's eyes lit up, "How difficult is it?"

He quickly took the formation diagrams respectfully and glanced at them, his eyes getting brighter and brighter.

These formation diagrams actually follow the inheritance of formations from the Guan family and the Wen family, and have the same purpose but the same purpose. And looking at it, it's even deeper.

"Thank you, old gentleman!" Mo Hua said with a smile.

When Mr. Xun saw that Mo Hua was happy, he breathed a sigh of relief, waved his hand and said:

"Go ahead and learn the formation."

"Uh-huh."

Mo Hua immediately put the formation map in his arms and trotted away.

Mr. Xun smiled a little and shook his head slightly.

Later, in order to live up to Mr. Xun's kindness, Mo Hua temporarily forgot about Demon Refining Mountain and focused on learning new formations.

But there will always be a day when learning new formations is finished.

After finishing learning ink painting, I ran to Mr. Xun and said that I wanted to enter the Demon Refining Mountain.

In order to appease Mo Hua, Mr. Xun had no choice but to give him more formation diagrams to keep him occupied and soothe his restless heart.

In this way, nearly half a year has passed.

Mo Hua used the Demon Refining Mountain as an excuse to "blackmail" Mr. Xun a lot, and he should not have taught Mo Hua the formation diagram at this time.

As for Cheng Mo and the others, their cultivation base was solid and they had adapted to the battles in the middle stage of foundation building. They had already started to enter Demon Refining Mountain in a team of five.

Mo Hua, an orthodox demon hunter, could only watch helplessly.

After eating, Cheng Mo and others gathered together and chatted about the Demon Refining Mountain.

"There are disciples and monsters all over the mountains and plains..."

"A tiger with claws longer than its neck, a bear that stands like a hill, a wolf monster with green hair, and a flaming red luan..."

"When fighting monsters, you can use all your strength, and you don't have to hold back your martial arts skills. You can fight heartily."

"A second-grade initial demon pill is worth three hundred meritorious deeds."

"There are also some furs, bones, blood essence, liver and gallbladder, all of which are valuable..."

Cheng Mo spoke vividly and with lively expressions.

But after more than ten days, Cheng Mo went to Demon Refining Mountain a few more times and felt a little downcast.

Mo Hua asked doubtfully: "What's wrong?"

Cheng Mo sighed, "In the Demon Hunting Mountain, most of them are senior brothers and sisters who are in the late stage of foundation building. They have rich experience, sophisticated techniques, deep cultivation, and top-grade spiritual weapons."

"There's no way they can get into their team..."

"The five of us also formed a team and wanted to try our hand at killing an early stage second-grade wolf demon, but that wolf demon was really cunning. It took us a long time to find it..."

"Then what?"

"Never fought..."

Cheng Mo looked very depressed.

Mo Hua nodded, not surprised.

Monsters are very strong.

Especially for sect disciples like Cheng Mo, who had never actually hunted monsters and had almost zero experience, it was inevitable to suffer some hardships in their first confrontation.

The profession of monster hunter is difficult for newcomers.

Mo Hua could only tell them some things to pay attention to when hunting monsters, to give them a heads up.

There are too many suggestions that he can't give yet.

Because specific issues require detailed analysis.

Most of the experience of hunting monsters in ink painting comes from Daheishan.

Daheishan is a second-grade mountain range in Lizhou. Mo Hua was born and raised here and is very familiar with the environment and monsters there.

But now we are in Demon Refining Mountain in Qianzhou.

Mo Hua had never been to Demon Refining Mountain in person and knew nothing about the situation in Demon Refining Mountain. Naturally, it was not easy for him to hunt the demons in Demon Refining Mountain using the method of Daheishan, just like searching for a sword.

He could only choose some common monster hunting methods and briefly talk about them.

Such as the habits of monster beasts to eat, hibernate, ambush, inhabit, and fake death, as well as the methods commonly used by monster hunters to set up ambushes, surround and kill monsters.

Cheng Mo and others nodded repeatedly as they listened.

Hao Xuan's eyes shone, "Senior Brother, you know a lot..."

"Okay."

Mo Hua said humbly.

Cheng Mo listened to Mo Hua's suggestions.

But listening to it is a matter of course, and actually hunting monsters is another matter entirely.

Cheng Mo and his team's demon hunting process was still bumpy.

But after a while, I gradually persisted.

After all, they can study in the Qianxue State Realm and become apprentices to Taixu Sect, one of the eight sects. They are also the proud sons of heaven in their respective families, with their own character and arrogance.

Some time passed like this.

Everything was going smoothly until Mo Hua saw Cheng Mo who was bandaged, with his arm hanging, his nose was bruised and his face was swollen, and he couldn't move...

"Getting slapped by a bear."

Situ Jian said.

Mo Hua's expression was complicated, and he didn't know whether to laugh or sympathize.

Cheng Mo said very harshly, "I was careless this time. It's just a second-grade early-stage bear. When I recover from my injuries, I will fight this evil beast for 300 rounds and chop off its bear paws. It will be a piece of cake for me." What a shame!”

Situ Jian said silently: "If the bones in your body were half as hard as your mouth, eight of them wouldn't be broken..."

As soon as Situ Jian said that, Cheng Mo grinned in pain.

"Situ, you must have imitated my younger brother! What you said before was not so irritating!"

Situ Jian no longer wanted to pay attention to him.

Mo Hua then asked: "How long will he be raised?"

Situ Jian shook his head and said: "Elder Murong looked at it and said that Xiong Zhen's strength is too great. This fool has broken his muscles and bones. He will need to be recuperated for at least half a month. We will see the situation later."

"Then you hunt monsters, aren't you missing someone?" Mo Hua said.

It would be better if there were less ordinary people.

But Cheng Mo has a strong blood, a strong and powerful mountain-breaking ax, and is a physical practitioner who can withstand and fight.

Now that he is injured, it is difficult to find a substitute.

Situ Jian sighed, "Let's take it easy for now. I'm not strong enough now, so it might be too early to go to Demon Refining Mountain. I haven't earned much merit these days, and I'm somewhat unable to make ends meet..."

"Let's make some more preparations. When our cultivation is more solid next year, we can try to go to Demon Refining Mountain again."

Mo Hua asked again: "Where are the other disciples?"

Situ Jian shook his head, "It's almost the same. It's hard to get around in Demon Refining Mountain anyway, and the food of a demon hunter is really not good."

Situ Jian sighed again.

Mo Hua shook his head secretly.

There is no other way, it seems that I, as the "little senior brother", should take them to play.

Mo Hua thought about it for a while and went to find Mr. Xun again.

"Are you going into the mountains again?"

Mr. Xun frowned.

Mo Hua then used the prepared words: "I have learned a lot of formations, and I want to apply what I have learned. I will draw them on the spiritual weapon and try the effect. Demon Refining Mountain is the most suitable place."

"Where did you get the spiritual weapon?"

"The Gu family has a third-grade weapon refiner, Master Gu. He will help me refine it."

Gu family?

Mr. Xun was a little surprised, his eyes were thoughtful, but he didn't speak.

Mo Hua said: "I only draw formations, improve spiritual weapons, and hide behind the crowd. I don't know how to do it myself."

Mr. Xun still had concerns, "In the Demon Refining Mountain, the monsters are ferocious..."

"It's okay," Mo Hua raised his head and chest, and said proudly:

"Old sir, to be honest, I am actually a monster hunter. I have been dealing with monsters since I was a child. The experience of hunting monsters is passed down from my ancestors!"

Mr. Xun was stunned for a moment by what Mo Hua said.

What the hell……

Monster hunter?

He looked at the white and tender ink painting with thin arms and legs, but he didn't see at all that he looked like a "monster hunter".

"Feed the Demon Master" is pretty much the same.

Use yourself to feed the monsters...

Seeing that Mr. Xun didn't believe it, Mo Hua emphatically said: "It's true!"

Old Mr.

It's a bit outrageous, it can't be fake.

"Okay." Mr. Xun sighed.

Mainly, he had no other formations to use to appease Mo Hua.

I have given all the formations of the seventeen lines that can be given, and I have learned all that I can learn in ink painting. The other ones either require high spiritual consciousness, and I cannot learn in ink painting.

Or... those formations that cannot be transmitted externally at all.

After all, I have to find something for him to do.

Moreover, for things like formations, you really need to "learn and apply them." If you don't learn them and don't use them, you will be just like those old scholars and antiques.

Mr. Xun suddenly remembered that that man had also discussed the formation with him and said something like:

When looking at formations and thinking about how to apply them, "applying what you have learned" is the key to formation formation.

"Learning" is the threshold for entering the Tao, and "application" is the foundation for practicing the Tao.

Apply what you have learned to promote learning.

Learning and application complement each other, and knowledge and action are integrated.

Only in this way can we be impartial, persevere, and gain a glimpse of the most essential path of the formation...

Nowadays, these words are still in my ears, but the man with unparalleled talent and enviable talent is no longer there...

Old Mr.

"It's really a bit like..."

Mo Hua didn't think so much, but said with shining eyes:

"Thank you, old man!"

Mr. Xun nodded slightly, but still warned: "Be careful, remember to follow others, only study the formation, don't do it yourself."

"Uh-huh!"

Mo Hua agreed wholeheartedly, then bowed respectfully, stood up and left.

After Mo Hua left, Old Mr.

The Taoist boy took the order and went down.

After a while, a handsome, somewhat leisurely man wearing the Taixu Sect inner robe came over and saluted Mr. Xun:

"Ancestor."

Mr. Xun nodded slightly and asked, "Do you know Mo Hua?"

The man said respectfully: "I know you."

Mo Hua may not know him, but he knows Mo Hua.

With Mr. Xun's relationship, and Taixu Clan full of elders to teach him, who could not recognize Mo Hua, who is closer than Mr. Xun to his great-great-grandson.

Mr. Xun nodded, "Mo Hua is going to the Demon Refining Mountain. That's where you will be on duty. Please take good care of it..."

After speaking, Mr. Xun glanced at the man and said, "If he is missing a hair, you can kneel down in the ancestral hall for me."

The man was stunned for a moment, and then his scalp went numb.

He only felt that a big trouble fell from the sky and fell on his head.

Moreover, this big trouble may turn into a "big black pot".

Seeing that there was no one around, the man lowered his voice and whispered a question that he had wanted to ask for a long time but had never dared to ask:

"Ancestor, this kid Mo Hua... won't have the same surname as me and his surname is 'Xun', right?"

Mr. Xun raised his head, glanced at him coldly, and said calmly:

"I can see that you are relatively free. After this is done, I will send you some more errands to give you more training..."

Mr. Xun said the word "tempering" with profound meaning.

The man suddenly felt like he had eaten coptis, and his face turned bitter.

If I had known he would be so mean-mouthed, I wouldn't have asked more questions.

Can the errand assigned by the ancestor be easy to do? I'm afraid I'll have to shed my skin even if I don't die...

Seeing that he was being honest, Mr. Xun flicked his sleeves and said, "Go ahead and remember what I said. It doesn't matter if you break your arm, that kid won't lose a hair."

The man sighed deeply and said helplessly:

"yes……"

He now confirmed that the child's surname must not be "Xun".

Because people with the surname "Xun" don't get this treatment at all.

After the man retreated, Mr. Xun thought of another thing and couldn't help but think:

Born as a monster hunter?

How could he be a demon hunter?

Where can a demon hunter who is a casual cultivator learn formation techniques?

Mr. Xun frowned slightly.

Lizhou is far away from Qianzhou.

Mo Hua is just a casual practitioner.

Mr. Xun didn't bother to find out the details of the ink paintings before, and he didn't care at all.

A hero does not care about his origin.

Being able to enter the border of Qianxue State and worship at Taixu Sect is considered a destiny.

As long as Mo Hua has a good character, has talent, and can learn the formation well, it will be fine.

Old Mr.

But now, he was suddenly very curious.

What did this kid do growing up?

What exactly did you do to become a formation master and have such a profound foundation in the Five Elements Formation?

Mr. Xun thought for a moment, then called the Taoist boy and said in a deep voice:

"From the inner gate, call a disciple who knows the Fengxing Thousand Miles Movement Technique to come over."

"Yes, ancestor."

The Taoist boy stepped back, and after a while, a disciple wearing a Taoist robe of an inner disciple, with a figure like the wind and strong footwork came over.

"Ancestor!" The disciple bowed his hands in salute.

Old Mr. …”
