Chapter 130 Spices (Part 3)
The effect of the Earth Fire Formation was unexpectedly good.
Yu Chengyi's prediction was correct. With the Earth Fire Formation, only a few demon hunters at the sixth level of Qi Refining were needed to hunt a first-grade mid-stage demon beast, and as long as they were careful, there would be basically no major casualties.
Previously, the demon hunting team was led by the old and the new, with a few old people leading some newcomers.
This can not only protect the newcomers, but also allow the newcomers to get familiar with the environment, gain experience, and hone their Taoism. At the same time, they can also share some spiritual stones to supplement their family expenses.
However, with such a team division, the hunting efficiency of some veteran demon hunters has been greatly reduced.
Now with the formation, as long as the newcomers are taught some basic skills, they can hunt on their own.
Because the Earth Fire Formation will directly blow up the demon beast and seriously injure it, the demon beast's meridians will be damaged, the demon power will be sluggish, and many tricky methods cannot be used, so these newcomers will be relatively safer.
Thanks to the Earth Fire Formation, novices can earn spiritual stones, veterans are more relaxed, and the lives of demon hunters are more comfortable.
However, Mo Hua was alone. Although he could draw the formation very quickly, the number of Earth Fire Formations he could draw in a day was limited.
Yu Chengyi thought about it and decided to save a few Earth Fire Formations and send more people.
Five Earth Fire Formations required three or four demon hunters to make up for the damage.
Now he used three Earth Fire Formations, but there were six or seven demon hunters to make up for the damage.
The result was similar.
Mo Hua had already mastered the Earth Fire Formation by heart. He drew faster and faster, and more and more demon hunters used the Earth Fire Formation drawn by Mo Hua to hunt demons.
After a long time, most demon hunters in the middle stage of Qi Refining became familiar with Mo Hua.
Some wore rattan armor with iron armor formations drawn by Mo Hua; some used the Earth Fire Formation drawn by Mo Hua to hunt; and some demon hunters had the formations on the doors and windows of their homes drawn by Mo Hua.
And most demon hunters in the late stage of Qi Refining also knew Mo Hua.
Some of them had a life-or-death relationship with Mo Shan, so they were naturally familiar with Mo Hua; some had asked Mo Shan to draw formations for them; some, even if they had no connection with Mo Hua, had heard of this little formation master from their relatives and fellow Taoists;
There were others, who were instructed by Yu Chengyi to take good care of Mo Hua in Dahei Mountain.
In this way, Mo Hua spent more than a month in the mountains, and found that almost everyone in the outer mountain was familiar with him.
Often when he was walking, a familiar monk would greet him.
Some monks picked wild fruits in the mountains and offered them to him.
They were sour and sweet, crisp and delicious.
In addition to wild fruits, people also offered dry food, dried meat, pine nuts, rice wine and the like.
Mo Hua could go into the mountains for a day without bringing anything, but he could still go back full and satisfied...
It is impolite not to reciprocate.
After that, every time Mo Hua went into the mountains, he asked his mother to put a few pounds of cut beef in his storage bag, with all kinds of flavors.
When someone invited him to eat, he also invited them to eat beef.
After a while, some people were eager to meet Mo Hua in the mountains.
Especially some old demon hunters, who were addicted to alcohol but had no meat to go with their alcohol.
In the past, when they were not hunting demons, they didn't want to stay in the mountains for a moment.
Now when they are free, they even squat on the mountain road outside the mountain, eagerly waiting for Mo Hua, and then they treat Mo Hua to snacks and wild fruits, and Mo Hua invites them to eat meat with their wine.
These demon hunters were asked by Yu Chengyi to take care of Mo Hua, and sometimes when Mo Hua encountered difficulties in the mountains, they would help.
Mo Hua remembered their favors.
So sometimes when he had nothing to do, Mo Hua would bring some meat to the mountain, sit with them on the big rocks in the mountains, look at the mountain scenery, eat meat, and listen to their stories about hunting demons.
Occasionally, they would also give some suggestions on beef.
For example, it's not spicy enough, it's too soft to chew, it's too light to taste good, etc...
They commented on it while eating more deliciously than anyone else.
Some demon hunters would give some suggestions, saying that there are some very good spices in the mountains, and putting them in to cook meat will make it taste better.
Mo Hua's eyes lit up and he asked where these spices were.
"There are a lot of them in the mountains, you have to find them yourself."
The demon hunter said, and took out a thin booklet with various flowers, plants and trees painted on it, and marked which parts of the plants and trees can be used as spices.
Some are flowers, some are leaves, some are branches, and some are grass dew, flower paste, resin, etc.
There are dozens of them.
The demon hunter gave the booklet to Mo Hua, with only one request, which was to make delicious meat for him to taste.
Mo Hua nodded hurriedly as if he had found a treasure.
After that, when Mo Hua was traveling in the mountains, he would pay attention to whether there were any spices in the booklet.
If there were any, he would pick them and give them to his mother when he got home.
Liu Ruhua was also very surprised. She had been devoted to studying various kinds of monastic meals. With these spices, the cooking of meals would be icing on the cake.
Liu Ruhua cooked some meat with spices. Mo Hua tasted it and found that it tasted better and had a richer aftertaste.
As promised, Mo Hua gave the meat to the demon hunter to taste.
After the demon hunter ate it, his expression was calm and open-minded, as if he had a meaning of "no regrets in death in this life"...
The expression was so exaggerated that Mo Hua didn't know what to say.
Mo Hua also sent some to Zuowangju.
Bai Zisheng tasted it and felt that it tasted better. He said enviously:
"Mo Hua, your mother is so nice!"
After that, he had an idea and said, "Why don't you ask your mother if she is willing to accept me as her godson?"
Mo Hua rolled his eyes at him.
Bai Zixi couldn't help it either, and threw a ball of paper at Bai Zisheng's forehead.
The beef that Mo Hua sent to Mr. Zhuang was the best and looked good. There were five or six plates in total, decorated with green or spicy onions, and each plate tasted different.
Mr. Zhuang took a bite and frowned. After a moment, he couldn't help but say sadly:
"The desire for food and drink harms people's will!"
After that, he couldn't help but take another bite.
The spices were good, and the restaurant's business was better.
Mo Hua was very happy. Later, when picking spices, he thought he might as well pick more herbs and other things.
After all, he was not actually needed to set up the formation and hunt monsters.
He only needed to draw the formation and then bleed at the end.
In the remaining time, he usually wandered around the mountains.
Collecting spices is collecting, collecting herbs and mining is also collecting.
Mo Hua found Mr. Feng and asked for a copy of "Cultivation Materia Medica", and then found Master Chen and asked for a copy of "Cultivation Mining Record".
He then searched for herbs and various minerals according to the descriptions in the two books.
Not only can he increase his knowledge of cultivation, but he can also collect some herbs and minerals. Anyway, it is a matter of convenience, so it would be a waste not to collect them.
The herbs he collected, Mo Hua gave to Mr. Feng, and the minerals he dug, Mo Hua gave to Master Chen.
They were not polite to Mo Hua, but just told Mo Hua to find them if he needed any elixir or spiritual weapon.
Mo Hua did this, drawing maps outside the Great Black Mountain, looking for spices, picking herbs, digging some ores, and then waiting for other demon hunters to kill the demon beasts, he would go to bleed them and stock up on spiritual ink.
Until one day, he found that more and more demon hunters were using the Earth Fire Formation. Often, after killing a demon beast in the south, he hadn't finished bleeding it, and another demon beast was killed in the north.
By the time he knew about it, the demon beast in the north was already cold and couldn't be bled.
Ten bottles of demon blood, just gone...
After this happened several times, Mo Hua frowned and thought:
"I have to think of a way, otherwise it would be too wasteful..."
