Chapter 181 Formation Master
The construction progress of the equipment refinery was progressing as Master Ban expected.
The end of the year was approaching, and if the equipment refinery was completed earlier, he could settle the spiritual stone payment earlier, give an explanation to his craftsmen and disciples, and everyone could go home for a good New Year.
Master Ban was very attentive. He basically stayed in the equipment refinery every day, urging his craftsmen and instructing the demon hunters who came to help. He also had to do some things that his disciples could not do well.
During this period, Master Ban could often see Mo Hua.
Mo Hua would put his hands behind his back, look here and there, occasionally mutter something, and take out a piece of paper to write something.
If you don't know, others would think he was also a little craftsman.
Master Ban remembered what Elder Yu said, and let him do whatever he wanted, so he didn't interfere.
Occasionally, Mo Hua would ask him some questions, and if Master Ban was free, he would answer them one by one. Mo Hua would reward him with wine and meat from his own restaurant. Master Ban would never forget it after eating it once.
Soft and chewy, spicy and with a bit of gamey flavor.
Master Ban had eaten meat before, but he had never eaten such delicious meat. He worked hard every day and ate a few bites casually. He was not very particular about food, but the taste of this meat was really special and he could not forget it.
Master Ban silently memorized the name of the Mohua Restaurant. He planned to buy more spirit stones after he finished the refinery business. He would buy more spirit stones and let his grandson and granddaughter taste them.
About a month and a half later, the prototype of the refinery business was initially built.
The next thing to do was for the formation master to draw the formation on the walls, the house and the foundation stones of some key buildings. After that, the craftsmen would further build and seal the formation with earth, wood, bricks and stones, and then make some repairs. The entire refinery business would be completed.
Master Ban was a little worried.
Next, the formation master would draw the formation, but where was the formation master?
He would occasionally consult Elder Yu about matters, but after many visits, he never saw a shadow of a formation master.
Normally, at the beginning of the construction of the equipment refinery, the formation master would survey the terrain and the building layout, and during the construction process, the formation master would often go over to take a look.
But for such a long time, Master Ban had never seen a formation master.
How could the formation master draw this formation if he didn't understand the building layout?
Moreover, he had seen the architectural formation diagram. Although he didn't understand the formation, he could see at a glance that the formations used in this building were many and complex, which could not be drawn by ordinary formation masters, nor could they be drawn by one or two formation masters.
If the formation was not drawn well, the project could not be completed.
Similarly, if the formation was drawn too slowly, they would not be able to complete it on schedule. Once it was delayed, it would be very likely that it would be far away, and it was very likely that they would not be able to settle the payment by the end of the year.
When Master Ban thought of this, he was worried.
After enduring for a long time, he found Elder Yu and said anxiously, "Elder Yu, we have finished the present stage. Look at this formation..."
"No hurry." Elder Yu's tone was not anxious at all.
You are not anxious, but I am anxious...
Master Ban thought to himself, and then asked Elder Yu, "Have you invited a formation master?"
"I invited it a long time ago."
"That's good." Master Ban breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help asking, "Then why haven't I seen it?"
Elder Yu smiled, "You have seen it."
Master Ban was stunned, "Where have you seen it?"
"You will see it when you start drawing the formation tomorrow." Elder Yu said.
Master Ban frowned, and couldn't remember when he had seen the formation master, but since Elder Yu said that he would start drawing the formation tomorrow, he would know it when he saw it tomorrow.
The next day, Master Ban was waiting at the refining shop early.
He didn't sleep well all night, always worried that Elder Yu would lie to him.
The equipment refining business is such a big project. If something unexpected happens and the spirit stones cannot be settled, he really has no way to explain to his craftsmen and disciples.
Logically speaking, Elder Yu is a foundation-building cultivator and has a good relationship with him. He will not deliberately cheat him, but this is the truth. In reality, Master Ban still can't help but worry.
People's hearts are separated from their stomachs. Who can be sure?
The sky gradually brightened. At about the time of Mao, Elder Yu came.
Master Ban stared at Elder Yu for a long time, and then looked behind him. After a long while, he couldn't help asking:
"You came here alone? Where is the formation master?"
Elder Yu saw that he looked anxious, so he comforted him: "Don't worry, I will be here soon."
Master Ban could only wait patiently.
After a while, Mao was approaching, Mo Hua carried a storage bag and a big bun in his hand, eating while walking towards the equipment refining business.
The morning sun shone through the clouds, spreading down, giving him a light layer of gold.
Mo Hua took great effort to finish the buns. When he looked up, he saw Elder Yu and Master Ban, and greeted them from a distance.
Master Ban was stunned for a long time, and when Mo Hua approached, he couldn't help but asked: "Mo Hua? What are you doing here..."
Mo Hua patted his storage bag and smiled: "I'm here to do business."
Before Master Ban asked what the business was, Elder Yu asked with a smile: "Are you ready?"
Mo Hua nodded and said: "Yes."
Then Mo Hua walked into the weapon refinery, and Elder Yu followed.
Master Ban had no time to ask, so he could only follow them inside, but he was always wondering:
What business? What exactly is this kid going to do?
Master Ban soon found out.
Mo Hua came to a building foundation stone, spread out a densely drawn building formation map, took out three types of formation pens from the storage bag, grind the five elements and five colors of gold, wood, water, fire and earth, and then began to draw the formation.
Mo Hua held the pen in his little hand, dipped it in the spiritual ink, took a look at the formation map, and then outlined the formation patterns on the foundation stone.
He looked calm, skillful, and easy to use.
He looked like a master!
Master Ban was stunned.
Is the formation master that Elder Yu was talking about this child?
This ten-year-old kid, could he be a formation master?
Master Ban's mood was up and down, and his thoughts were a little messy.
He recalled for a long time, and then he remembered why Elder Yu said he had seen a formation master.
Of course, Mo Hua often came to stroll around, and he would drink and chat with him when he had nothing to do. How could he not have seen one?
Master Ban thought carefully, when he first met Mo Hua, Mo Hua was lying on the ground looking at the foundation stone, probably to survey the terrain and understand the building layout. After that, he often came here to see if the building layout conformed to the building formation diagram...
Thinking about it this way, these are indeed what a formation master should do, but he has never thought about it.
Master Ban's mood was complicated, and it was no wonder that he couldn't think of it. Who would think of it if it happened to anyone...
Master Ban looked at Mo Hua again.
Mo Hua, who was concentrating on drawing the formation, had a serious look on his face, his eyes slightly fixed, and he was calm and composed with each stroke. His brushwork was orderly and free, and one complex formation pattern after another appeared under his brush, connecting into a mysterious formation.
This look was completely different from the innocent and cute child a few days ago.
Master Ban sighed. He had lived for so many years and had seen so many cultivators, but he didn't expect that he had made a mistake...
