Chapter 220 Communication
But this will be after the Chinese New Year.
There have been a lot of things going on recently, and it has been tiring to draw formations. At least this year, Mo Hua can relax and not think too much.
But Mo Hua soon discovered that even if he did not consider cultivation and formations, there were still many things to do.
Because he had to give and return gifts.
And many gifts had to be given and returned by Mo Hua.
Before, he was just an ordinary little cultivator who was unknown, so naturally he didn't have to worry about anything.
But now he is a little famous formation master, and he knows a lot of cultivators, so some exchanges are inevitable.
For example, the old head of the Daoting Division gave him a jade pendant, the An family gave him some fine wine and spiritual meat, and other smaller families also sent some New Year gifts.
They were not too expensive, but they were all thoughtful.
Mo Hua found some familiar families or cultivators with whom he had a deep relationship, and went to thank them one by one.
For example, the old chief and Mr. An were both prominent cultivators in Tongxian City. When they gave gifts, Mo Hua could not help but return the gifts.
Mo Hua also brought some gifts.
These gifts were relatively simple. He bought them casually with spirit stones, but what was not simple was that he had drawn formations inside them.
For example, a lantern with the word "Fu" painted on it had a bright fire formation inside. Once lit, the word "Fu" would emit a brilliant light. There were also small screens with a cold air formation painted on them, and blankets with a warm air formation painted on them, etc.
They were neither luxurious nor very practical. Although they looked simple, they were obviously made with great care.
They were in line with his status as a young formation master, and most importantly, they were in line with his financial resources - he did not have so many spirit stones to buy expensive gifts for others.
The old chief and Mr. An were very happy.
Some other cultivators were already satisfied to receive gifts from Mo Hua in return. They were even more delighted to see that the gifts also contained formations drawn by Mo Hua himself.
Mo Hua also gave some things to Master Chen.
As the New Year is coming, Master Chen is still busy in the weapon refining shop, and a group of weapon refiners are also refining spiritual weapons. It will probably take until before New Year's Eve for them to finish and spend the New Year with peace of mind.
Although it is hard work, they get a lot of spiritual stones after selling spiritual weapons, so they don't feel that hard.
Master Chen has no children and only Dazhu as his apprentice, so it doesn't matter.
Mo Hua brought a lot of delicious food and several jars of fine wine to Master Chen, and Master Chen smiled from ear to ear.
"These wines are good, and wine is enough!"
Being alone, with wine and meat as company, it can be considered a New Year.
Master Chen has been like this for so many years, and he doesn't feel lonely. What's more, after the New Year, a bunch of disciples will come to greet him, and it will be very lively at that time.
Mo Hua chatted with Master Chen for a few words, and Master Chen said:
"Do you want a spiritual weapon?"
"What spiritual weapon?"
"Anything is fine, but it's better not to choose a sword, which is more difficult to refine, and I can't refine it well."
"Knives, guns, sticks, and the like?"
Master Chen nodded, "Thanks to your refining furnace, my refining skills have improved a lot recently, and I can refine a first-grade spiritual weapon. You choose one, and I will help you refine it for self-defense."
Mo Hua thought about it, but still didn't know what to choose.
"I'm not a physical cultivator, so there's no point in choosing these..."
"It's okay." Master Chen smiled, "It's mainly because I'm itching to refine more spiritual tools to try my hand."
Mo Hua didn't know what to say...
"Then don't you help others refine?"
"Some people also ask me to refine, but there's no rush for them, it doesn't matter sooner or later. I'll help you refine one first."
Mo Hua really wanted to refine a "Zhangba Steel Spear" or a "Green Dragon Crescent Blade", but he couldn't use these things even if they were refined, and he wasn't a physical cultivator.
"Then can you help my father refine one?"
"Don't worry about this, Elder Yu has his own arrangements, you don't have to worry about it."
Mo Hua frowned.
Master Chen said, "If it doesn't work, I'll make you a small knife, so you can cut beef or peel fruit."
Mo Hua looked complicated, "I'll think about it."
It's rare to refine a first-grade spiritual weapon, so at least refine something serious. What's the point of refining a fruit knife...
Master Chen nodded and said, "Okay, tell me when you've made up your mind."
Mo Hua said goodbye to Master Chen and went to Mr. Feng again.
Before, Mr. Feng only saw patients in Xinglin Hall, and never went out except for consultation.
Now that the alchemy shop is built, Mr. Feng will come here when he is free. Some sick monks will even find the alchemy shop and ask Mr. Feng to see a doctor and make pills.
Mr. Feng is in the alchemy shop next door, counting the pills, sorting out the pill recipes, and also testing the quality of the finished pills.
Mo Hua gave the New Year gift to Mr. Feng, and Mr. Feng found a bunch of pills and stuffed them into Mo Hua's pockets.
There are pills for treating fire and water poisons, pills for warding off miasma, pills for clearing the mind and concentrating the spirit, pills for satisfying hunger, pills for stopping bleeding, and several pills for emergency life-saving.
Each pill is put away in different categories, labeled with its purpose.
Mo Hua thanked Mr. Feng. Before leaving, Mr. Feng stopped him and stuffed a bottle of medicine into his mouth.
Mo Hua sniffed it and asked:
"Grandpa Feng, what kind of medicine is this? It smells sour and sweet, and it smells good."
"Digestive pills, for digestion and strengthening the stomach. I'm afraid you'll eat too much and upset your stomach. Take a few pills after meals. You can also eat them as snacks when you're greedy."
Mo Hua said happily: "Thank you, Grandpa Feng."
After a while of busying with gifts and returns, Mo Hua breathed a sigh of relief. He thought he was almost done, but he received another New Year gift from Master Luo.
It was placed in a vermilion storage box inlaid with gold in the yard of Mo Hua, and it looked very generous.
Mo Hua was surprised when he opened it.
There was not only a gift from Master Luo, but also a gift from Master Qian...
It was probably because he was afraid that others would know, so he sent it together in the name of Master Luo.
Master Luo's gifts were quite standard, mostly related to formations.
Master Qian's gifts were much more expensive, with everything from food and clothing to daily necessities. He probably wanted to apologize to Mo Hua and express his attitude.
Mo Hua thought about it and accepted it.
He had no direct disputes with Master Qian, so it was good to have a good relationship with him. Besides, he might need Master Qian's help in the future.
Since Master Luo had given gifts, Mo Hua also prepared some gifts and went to thank him in person.
Master Luo was much older than him, so this was also basic etiquette.
Master Luo's cave was one of the most luxurious caves in Tongxian City, magnificent and magnificent.
There were many cloud carriages in front of the door, all of which were children or managers from various families who came to give gifts.
But Master Luo was a first-class formation master, and the threshold was quite high, so they either could not enter the door, or had to line up in order and wait for Master Luo to meet them outside the door.
There were a lot of cars and horses outside the gate, and the grand ceremony opened Mo Hua's eyes.
The status of the formation master is indeed high, especially the first-grade formation master who has been determined by the Dao Court.
But there are too many people outside the gate, and Mo Hua probably can't even get in.
Just when Mo Hua was considering whether to go back first and come back in a few days, Master Luo's disciples had already discovered Mo Hua.
