Chapter 209 Master Luo

Mo Hua shook his head and said, "I was born to be useful, how can I be useless?"

An Xiaofu was stunned, "What can it be useful for?"

Mo Hua thought about it, but he couldn't explain it clearly. He couldn't say anything specific about the food, so he said:

"Your family runs a restaurant, and you have such a good taste, how can it be useless?"

An Xiaofu sighed, "We opened a restaurant because we had to..."

"Had to?"

An Xiaofu saw that it was still early, the meat was delicious, and it was rare for someone to talk to him, so he ate some meat, drank some fruit wine, and chatted with Mo Hua:

"At the beginning, the An family was also engaged in the business of refining tools and alchemy. Later, they couldn't compete with the Qian family, and their industry was ruined. They could only rely on some ancestral property to do the business of spiritual food restaurant..."

"My grandfather didn't like to open a restaurant. He still wanted to do refining tools and alchemy. He felt that it was embarrassing to open a restaurant."

...

"Isn't the restaurant good?" Mo Hua was a little confused.

"I think it's pretty good, but my grandfather thinks it's not." An Xiaofu muttered, "And the various professions of cultivation are also divided into different levels."

An Xiaofu counted them one by one with his thumbs:

"First of all, the formation is the most difficult to learn and the most used. The formation master is considered superior everywhere. Secondly, alchemy and equipment refining, as well as talisman making, are all considered good."

"Other categories such as spiritual food, spiritual plants, textiles, craftsmen, and monster hunting are actually not highly regarded."

"Don't be angry when I say this." An Xiaofu said weakly, "Many cultivators from big families and sects think that spiritual food and monster hunting are things that only low-level cultivators can do, and they are disdainful of them."

Mohua also understood this, but he just didn't take it seriously, "Without cultivators engaged in spiritual planting, spiritual food, and textiles, what would they eat and wear? Without food and clothes, what else can they brag about?"

An Xiaofu nodded and said, "That's right!"

An Xiaofu likes to eat, and thinks eating is the most important thing. Everything related to eating is very important.

Liu Ruhua made a few other dishes, including monster meat and wild vegetables from the mountains. Although the ingredients are ordinary, they taste very good and the taste is very special.

An Xiaofu puffed up his cheeks and ate his fill, and couldn't help but praise, "Mohua, your dishes are really delicious."

Mohua was happier than he was being praised, "Of course!"

After the two finished eating, they waved goodbye to each other.

Mo Hua looked at An Xiaofu's departing back and couldn't help thinking:

What can I do with a good sense of taste?

Be a chef? Open a restaurant?

But the An family has already opened a spiritual restaurant...

Mo Hua had some ideas in mind, but he still needed to think it over carefully.

Qian Shunzhi inquired for a few days and finally got some clues, so he went to report to the head of the family, Qian Hong.

"A new cave house was built in the south of the city. The plaque says 'Bai Mansion'. A veiled woman lives in it with two young monks, one boy and one girl. I don't know if they are proficient in formations."

Qian Hong's eyes flashed with fear, "These are the children of a big family traveling. We can't afford to offend them, and they won't help those monster hunters. Are there any more?"

Qian Shunzhi said: "An old monk passed by and his whereabouts were unknown. He left Tongxian City after a few days. Several middle-aged formation masters came here and stayed in the inn. They also have some origins with the families in the city..."

Qian Hong thought for a moment and said coldly: "These are not right, go check again."

Qian Shunzhi saw that Qian Hong looked a little uneasy, so he took out a few formation diagrams and handed them over.

"There is a young formation master among the demon hunters. These formations were drawn by this young formation master. Some are authentic formations, created by the young formation master, and some are copied by someone I asked."

Qian Hong took a look at it and was a little disappointed. "They are all ordinary formations, less than the first grade."

Although he is not a formation master and cannot tell what kind of formation it is, he can still count the formation patterns.

These formations are new and old. Although the brushwork is skillful, most of them only have five or six formation patterns.

A young cultivator in his teens can draw five or six formation patterns. It is already a great talent. No wonder he is called a "young formation master".

But the Qian family is not looking for this young formation master, but the mysterious first-grade formation master.

"Send more people and look for him again." Qian Hong ordered.

"Yes."

Qian Shunzhi bowed his head and said respectfully, and then wanted to leave, but was stopped by Qian Hong.

Qian Hong pondered for a moment and handed her several arrays in his hand, "You give these arrays to Master Qian, and see if Master Qian can find any clues."

Qian Shunzhi said yes respectfully, and then handed over several arrays and rubbings of arrays to Master Qian.

Master Qian was in the Qian family's library, discussing matters with a group of array masters.

Some of these array masters were born in the Qian family, some were close to the Qian family, and some were not close to the Qian family, but they had to come here at the invitation of Master Qian.

Tongxian City is so big, and there are not many array masters. Everyone sees each other every day, so there will always be some friendship.

The Qian family is the largest and richest family in Tongxian City, so they naturally don't want to offend the Qian family.

A first-class formation master is definitely not an unknown person, and it is impossible for him to have no connection with the families.

Master Qian invited these formation masters from Tongxian City to find out if they have any clues or if there is any connection.

If there is a connection, then everything will be easy, and they can also make some friends with the formation master through this relationship.

But after chatting for a long time, there is still no clue.

That first-class formation master seemed to appear suddenly, and no one knew his origin.

When everyone was at a loss, Qian Shunzhi brought in the formation.

Master Qian took the formation, read it once, frowned, and handed it to each formation master for circulation.

"What did you see?" Master Qian asked.

"These formations are well drawn."

"Very methodical."

"The strokes are very skillful, showing great skill."

"It's a pity that they are just low-level formations, with five or six formation patterns, and nothing much can be seen..."

A group of formation masters discussed.

The last thin-looking formation master pondered: "If these formations are from the hands of that little formation master, then this little formation master must be related to that first-grade formation master."

Other formation masters also nodded, "If there is no relationship, he is so young, it is impossible for him to draw formations so well."

While everyone was chatting, a disciple of the Qian family came into the room and said respectfully: "Master Luo is here."

Master Qian immediately stood up, and the other formation masters also stood up, walked to the door, and bowed to the visitor:

"Hello, Master Luo!"

The visitor was Master Luo, one of the only few first-grade formation masters in Tongxian City who had truly passed the Dao Court's assessment.

The other first-class formation masters in Tongxian City were already old and liked to be quiet. They no longer socialized. Only Master Luo would occasionally walk around.

Master Luo also returned the greetings one by one, "You are so polite."

Then he said to Master Qian, "Master Qian, long time no see."

Master Qian hurriedly declined, "No, no, how dare I be called 'Master' in front of Master Luo."

Master Luo smiled and said, "Brother Qian, you are too modest. With your attainments in formation, it is only a matter of time before you are promoted to the first rank."

Master Luo entered the main hall and sat in the main seat. The other formation masters took their seats in order.

A maid from the Qian family came up to serve tea.

Master Qian said, "This is the cloud tea from Lufeng. It is green and tender, with beautiful color and fragrance. Please taste it, Master Luo."

Master Luo's eyes lit up slightly, and he lifted the lid of the cup. The tea aroma rose up, like clouds and mist. After taking a sip, the sweetness went down my throat and into my heart, and I couldn't help but nod and praise, "Good tea!"

After sitting down and tasting the tea, everyone started talking about business.
