Chapter 34: Repairing the Formation

"It's actually the Molten Fire Array..." Mo Hua said.

"Not bad," Master Chen nodded. Seeing that Mo Hua recognized the array at a glance, he was somewhat convinced and spoke more seriously:

"Little Brother Mo, take a look to see if there is something wrong with the array. I know nothing about this and can't tell anything."

Master Chen asked someone to wipe off the black ash on the furnace, and Mo Hua lay at the furnace mouth, carefully looking at the Molten Fire Array pattern on the furnace wall.

Although he couldn't draw it completely for the time being, he practiced day and night, and the method of drawing the array pattern was already familiar to him. After a while, he pointed to several places and said to Master Chen:

"It's indeed a problem with the array. These array patterns are worn out, and the spiritual power cannot be transmitted, so the array is ineffective."

Master Chen saw that Mo Hua spoke in an orderly manner, and he couldn't help but look at him with admiration, and then frowned again:

"Then I have to ask the array master to help fix it. Alas, the market is not very good to begin with, and I don't know how many more spiritual stones I will have to spend this time..."

Mo Hua asked, "Is it expensive to ask a formation master to repair the formation?"

"Of course," Master Chen replied, "There are not many formation masters. For formations that need special repair, you have to give more spirit stones, otherwise others will not be willing to come."

Mo Hua considered and said, "How about I give it a try?"

"You?" Master Chen was shocked, "Are you already a formation master?"

Mo Hua waved his hand modestly; "Not yet, I just learned the formation from the master of the sect, and I just happened to have learned this formation before. "Master Chen looked at the half -person, his face, and his face was very euphemistic:" Let's forget it, you are a child, don't be tired of you. "Master Chen still has a concern, asking," Uncle Chen, you are not necessarily the real master. " . But if you want to be a good thing, you must say something good. Whether it is the master, the use of the team is always good. They listen to happiness and do things smoothly. It ’s not possible to change it for a long time. In the end, you can repairs it." Of course, the level of a proper apprentice should be higher than Mo Hua, but some apprentices may not be as good as him.

Mo Hua added: "They come to repair it, and I repair it. At most, they can't repair it well, so you can invite them again."

This seems to make some sense...

Master Chen was somewhat persuaded, but still a little hesitant. Seeing this, Mo Hua continued:

"Even if you invite a formation master, he can't come immediately. It depends on whether he is free. If you delay for one day, the equipment shop will lose one day's income. Over time, it will not make ends meet."

The business of the equipment shop is okay, but the profit is not high. Master Chen is unwilling to cut corners, so he earns hard-earned money. What's more, he has to provide food and drink for these apprentices. Once the shutdown time is long, it is indeed difficult to turn around.

Master Chen had a headache, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Forget it, little brother, you try it."

After that, he carefully reminded: "But just try it, don't force it, don't damage the formation..."

Mo Hua assured: "Don't worry, it can't be repaired at most."

Master Chen felt comforted, but it seemed that he was not comforted.

Mo Hua asked Master Chen to wait for a while, and went home to get a pen and fire ink, and then took the Molten Fire Formation Diagram with him. When he arrived at the Refining Shop, he showed the formation diagram to Master Chen first.

Master Chen saw that the formation on the diagram was indeed similar to the one on the refining furnace, and he was somewhat relieved, at least it was not completely unreliable.

This was the first time to draw a formation on a spiritual weapon, and Mo Hua was a little nervous. Fortunately, he had practiced the Molten Fire Formation too many times, and his mentality calmed down after he started writing.

Repairing a formation is different from drawing a formation. It does not require too much spiritual consciousness, because the formation itself is complete, so you only need to reconnect the damaged part of the formation with ink.

It tests the master's eyesight, attentiveness and familiarity with the formation.

Mo Hua lay beside the stove, concentrating on drawing.

In less than half an hour, Mo Hua had finished repairing the formation, and then spent a cup of tea to check it again. After confirming that there was no problem, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Master Chen watched anxiously, fearing that Mo Hua had damaged the formation. Seeing this, he hurriedly asked: "Is this... fixed?"

Mo Hua's clothes were dirty, and there were a few gray marks on his face. He was not sure: "It should be fixed. How about lighting a fire to try?"

Master Chen's expression was a bit complicated, but he still re-sealed the formation with a few apprentices, installed the refining furnace, and then embedded the spirit stone into the furnace to stimulate the spiritual power to ignite it.

But the fire did not light up.

Mo Hua was stunned and touched his chin. The little face that was originally covered with gray marks was now even dirtier:

"Why is there no fire? The formation should have been repaired."

Master Chen asked, "Little brother, are you sure there is no problem with the formation?"

Mo Hua flipped out the Molten Fire Formation Diagram, compared it carefully again, and then nodded, "There is no problem with the formation."

Master Chen touched the refining furnace with his hand, felt the temperature, and said to several apprentices, "The spiritual power is not enough, put a few more spiritual stones, and burn a soldering iron and throw it in."

Several disciples did as he was told, and the temperature of the refining furnace gradually rose.

After a while, fire came out.

Master Chen was overjoyed, "It's done!"

Several disciples were also happy. The refining furnace could be used, so they had work to do and could learn things from their master, so they looked at Mo Hua with admiration.

Mo Hua was also very happy and said, "Try to refine a spiritual weapon and see if there will be any problems."

Master Chen casually threw a knife in, and after refining it for a while, he said with a little regret: "There is no big problem with it, but the firepower is a little smaller than before, and it may take longer to refine the weapon."

Mo Hua was a little confused, "Why is the firepower smaller for the same formation? Will the effectiveness of the formation be reduced after repair?"

Master Chen shook his head, "It has been repaired several times before, but the firepower has not decreased much."

"Why is that?"

Mo Hua frowned, wondering if the formation was not drawn well enough.

Master Chen thought for a while, pointed to the ink in Mo Hua's inkstone and said:

"Maybe it's the ink problem? When someone came to repair it before, the ink they used was obviously darker than yours, bright red, and it looked like there was fire burning."

Mo Hua suddenly realized that he bought the cheapest fire ink for convenience and money. It was okay to practice the formation on weekdays, but the effect would definitely be poor when it was really painted on a spiritual weapon.

"To make the formation work better, you need higher-grade spiritual ink."

Mo Hua silently noted it down, and then said a little embarrassedly: "That should be the problem with the ink. I bought cheap stuff, so the spiritual power stimulation effect may not be very good."

Master Chen said: "Why are you saying that? Although the firepower is a little small, it's good enough to be usable. After all, I, the old man, still have to thank you."

Master Chen thought for a while, gritted his teeth and said: "You don't have to pay for the refining fee for the stove you want. I will help you refine the stove for free. Of course, I won't refund the material fee. After all, I have a group of young men, and I still have to save some food to eat."

Mo Hua looked at the spacious but simple refining shop, and then looked at the dark Master Chen and the refining disciples who were sweating and had black ash on their faces. He knew that it was not easy for them to earn some spiritual stones, so he Said:

"Uncle Chen, just give me a 50% discount on the equipment refining fee."

Master Chen shook his head, "No, I am still taking advantage of it. Asking others to repair this formation will cost at least one or two hundred spirit stones."

"You don't have to pay so much."

Master Chen's temper became stubborn, "Being a cultivator is about integrity. You keep your word. How can you easily take back what you said? Since I said I won't take your spirit stones, then I definitely won't take them!"

This temper is too straightforward...

Mo Hua had no choice but to change his mind and said with a smile: "Then how about this, I won't pay for the equipment refining fee. After the stove is refined, I will give some spirit stones, which will be the hard work fee for you and everyone else."

"This..."

Master Chen didn't understand it clearly for a while. The equipment refining fee and the hard work fee seemed the same, but they felt a little different.

"Even if you ask friends for help, sometimes you have to pay hard work fees." Mo Hua said again.

"Then... okay."

Master Chen felt that this was indeed reasonable.

Several disciples also looked at Mo Hua with gratitude.

Their family was not rich, and being a disciple and a helper could earn some money to supplement the family income. If they could not earn spirit stones, their already difficult life would become even more difficult.

And if they could earn spirit stones, even if they earned one more, their life would be a little easier.

"Then it's settled! It's getting late, I have to go home for dinner!"

Mo Hua waved her hand and said goodbye.

Master Chen told Mo Hua to be careful on the road, and said: "Come to me if you need to refine weapons in the future, I will give you a discount!"
