Chapter 370: Determination

First-grade twelve patterns!

Mo Hua was shocked. He never expected that the sect taught by Yan actually had a first-grade twelve-pattern formation.

The spirit-reversing formation that Mr. Zhuang taught him was only first-grade ten patterns.

Although Mr. Zhuang did not say clearly about the Five Elements Demon-Slaying Formation, according to Mo Hua's own guess, the spiritual consciousness required for the core of this formation would not exceed eleven patterns.

Now from Manager Mo, he actually heard about a first-grade twelve-pattern formation, and it seemed that it was a single formation.

"Lingshu formation..."

Mo Hua silently remembered the name, and then asked curiously:

"Is there anything special about this formation that requires such a strong spiritual consciousness of twelve patterns..."

Manager Mo smiled bitterly and shook his head: "No one has learned it, so naturally no one knows it."

Mo Hua nodded, and then pondered secretly:

"Lingshu formation, it doesn't sound like a five-element formation. It has the word 'ling', which means it is related to spiritual power. It should be a formation similar to 'Gathering Spirit Formation' or 'Reverse Spirit Formation', where spiritual power gathers, disperses or flows..."

"In the name of the formation, there is the word 'shu', which either refers to the spiritual power as the hub, or refers to the special 'formation hub'."

"The formation hub of a single formation is generally simple in structure, but this single formation actually requires the spiritual consciousness of twelve patterns. Is it because the formation hub has a complex structure and is different from others?"

...

Mo Hua muttered and pondered for a long time.

Manager Mo was stunned.

He didn't say anything, just the name of the formation, but Mo Hua could come up with so many ideas...

And he didn't understand it at all.

Manager Mo was secretly shocked.

The art of formation is indeed profound, and Mo Hua's level of formation is indeed unfathomable. No wonder even Master Luo admires Mo Hua...

Mo Hua pondered for a long time, but still couldn't make a conclusion.

Just based on the name of a formation, you really can't see much.

He asked again: "Manager Mo, do you know where Instructor Yan is going?"

Manager Mo came back to his senses, thought for a while, took out a piece of paper from his storage bag, and handed it to Mo Hua. There was only one line of words written on the paper:

"Xiaohuangzhou Boundary, Nanyue City."

"This is what I asked someone to find out. An old friend of my sect saw the traitor who betrayed his master and ancestors in a fairy city called Nanyue in Xiaohuangzhou Boundary, east of Lizhou."

"I told Senior Brother Yan about this. If I guess correctly, he should also go to Nanyue City."

Mo Hua nodded and put the paper away.

Manager Mo thought about it, and still asked:

"Mo Hua, I have an unwelcome request... If you pass by there and meet Senior Brother Yan, I hope you can help him."

Mo Hua said seriously: "Manager, don't worry, I will definitely help Instructor Yan catch the traitor."

"No..." Manager Mo shook his head.

Mo Hua was startled, "What's not?"

"I'm not asking you to help him catch people, I'm asking you to help me persuade him to find a Taoist partner and start a family..." Manager Mo said helplessly.

Mo Hua was a little confused.

Manager Mo sighed, "Brother Yan is actually quite talented..."

"Of course he can't compare with you..." Manager Mo glanced at Mo Hua, and then continued:

"If he studies the formation carefully, I don't say how much he will achieve, but at least he can be a first-class formation master and an outer sect elder."

"A first-class formation master is also a great figure in the general state..."

Manager Mo's tone was a little envious.

Mo Hua also nodded. When he first learned the formation, his dream was to become a first-class formation master.

Manager Mo then sighed and said, "But Senior Brother Yan has been troubled for many years and has been unable to calm down, so he has never been able to cross that threshold."

"He entered the sect early and has a deep friendship with the master, so he can't accept this. I understand, but you can't waste your life because of revenge."

"Even if the great revenge is taken, in the end he will be alone and gray-haired, and it will be difficult for him to make any achievements in the formation."

"If you meet him, persuade him to be more considerate of himself, even if he takes revenge The revenge is over, the master is dead, the sect is disbanded, the past is gone with the wind, but he still has to find a way to live well..."

Manager Mo said sincerely, but his tone was a little helpless:

"He may not listen to me, but he may listen to you."

Mo Hua nodded, and sighed in his heart that Manager Mo really cared about Teacher Yan, so he agreed:

"Don't worry, I will persuade the teacher."

Manager Mo also smiled.

When Mo Hua left, he took a few boxes of expensive snacks and put them in Mo Hua's arms:

"Take them back and try them."

Mo Hua couldn't refuse, so he had to accept them.

After Mo Hua left, Manager Mo sat alone in the room, pouring himself a few cups of tea, looking somewhat melancholy, and muttered:

"Brother, don't think I'm nosy..."

"I told Mo Hua about the Lingshu formation, don't blame me."

"The sect is gone, so this formation is no longer a secret."

Manager Mo was silent for a while, looking at the tea floating in the cup, and then slowly said:

"Besides, I also want to know whether anyone can really learn this outrageous formation of the first-grade twelve patterns..."

...

Mo Hua bid farewell to Manager Mo, and remembered the place name "Nanyue City" in his heart.

Thinking of the instructions and expectations of Teacher Yan to him, and the somewhat desolate back when they left.

Mo Hua felt a little heavy for a while.

I don't know where Teacher Yan is now, whether he is living well, and whether he has encountered any difficulties.

Has he found the traitor who killed his master and betrayed his sect, and whether he will encounter any danger...

But there is no point in worrying now, I hope I can really see Teacher Yan in the future.

Mo Hua sighed.

Then he thought of another question:

I learned the formation at the beginning because I wanted to be a first-grade formation master. Now I am about to go out to travel, should I try to determine the grade?

Mo Hua went to ask Mr. Zhuang.

Mr. Zhuang was not surprised and nodded, "You can try."

"Really?" Mo Hua suddenly got a little nervous, "What if you fail the test?"

"You can take the test casually, it doesn't matter whether you pass or not."

Mr. Zhuang said this, but he thought in his heart:

"You are now the master of the first-grade formation. How can you fail the test of a mere ordinary first-grade formation master?"

"The formation is good or bad, and it is clear. An expert can see it at a glance."

"Even if there is a shady deal in the fixed-grade assessment, they dare not blacken your head."

"If they really dare to be 'blind' and abolish your first-grade quota, you will definitely be in trouble in the future..."

...

Mo Hua nodded, and thought about it. It was right. There was really nothing to worry about for an ordinary first-grade formation.

"Then when should I take the test?"

Mo Hua knew nothing about the process of the fixed-grade assessment.

"I have to take the test before I go out to travel." Mr. Zhuang said.

"Can't I take the exam outside?"

"No." Mr. Zhuang shook his head and explained patiently:

"The assessment of the formation master's rank follows the recommendation system, and the number of places is limited by state."

"If you want to take the rank, you must not only have a letter of recommendation, but also limit the number of first-rank formation masters in each state, boundary, and city. Some places have more places, and some places have fewer places."

"You are in Tongxian City, and someone recommended you. After the rank is determined, you occupy the quota of Tongxian City."

"When you go outside, you are unfamiliar with the place. First, no one is willing to recommend you. Second, once you are determined, you will be Success will take up the quota of other immortal cities, and others will be even more unhappy..."

"It's so troublesome..." Mo Hua remembered what Mr. Zhuang said before, and couldn't help asking:

"You make so much trouble, is it also to set up thresholds to make profits?"

"Part of it is."

"What about the other part?"

Mr. Zhuang wanted to say, but still didn't say it, just said:

"You will slowly know it in the future, it's useless to know it now."

Mo Hua seemed to understand, nodded, and asked again: "Then how are the quotas divided?"

Mr. Zhuang sighed: "This is so much The wealth of the state, the number of aristocratic families, personal connections, etc. The poorer the state, the weaker the array inheritance, the fewer places, and the more effort you have to make to become a first-class array master. "

"On the contrary, some places with deep cultural heritage or deep-rooted power give a lot of places every year, and it is relatively easier to become a first-class array master."

Mo Hua was shocked and said, "This is really... unfair."

Mr. Zhuang said, "The way of heaven is fair, the array is there, if you know it, you know it, if you don't, you don't know it, it's actually unfair. Some people can do it, but they can't become a first-class formation master. Some people can't do it, but they can still hold the title of a first-class formation master..."

Mo Hua thought for a moment, and then asked quietly:

"Who should I ask for recommendation?"

"Dao Ting Si, local families, sects, or other first-class forces recognized by Dao Ting are all qualified to recommend."

"You... follow the path of Dao Ting Si, don't you still have a bronze waist badge of Dao Ting Si on you? Your head of the department will definitely be happy to recommend you."

Mr. Zhuang pointed out.

Mo Hua was a little surprised, "Sir, you also know that I have a waist badge?"

Mr. Zhuang looked calm, "Such a small matter, if you want to know, you will know it naturally."

Mo Hua sighed in his heart, Mr. Zhuang was indeed unfathomable.

"Also," Mr. Zhuang's slender fingers rubbed Mo Hua's hair, "you should call me 'Master', not Mr.."

"Oh..."

Mo Hua reacted and smiled awkwardly.

He was used to calling him "Master" and couldn't change it for a while.

"Master!"

Mo Hua's voice was crisp and clear.

Mr. Zhuang closed his eyes slightly, looked relaxed, and nodded gently.

Then Mo Hua went to find Director Zhou again.

When Director Zhou heard that Mo Hua wanted to participate in the qualification test for a first-class formation master, he agreed without saying a word.

If Mo Hua can be recommended by the Dao Ting Division and be successfully ranked and become a first-class array master, then he will be proud.

Even if he fails to be ranked, he is happy to help.

Although in Zhou Zhang Si's mind, with Mo Hua's array level, it is impossible for him to fail to be ranked.

But he also knows that the ranking is very complicated.

The Dao Ting's ranking is not the ranking of the array, but the ranking of the array master. It is not determined by the way of heaven, but by people with complicated interests.

Unless one has a lot of connections, no one can predict the result.

Zhou Zhang Si is just the director of a small fairy city. He has some connections, but it can't affect the ranking of Tianshu Pavilion in the center of the Dao Ting, so he can only recommend. Other things still depend on Mo Hua himself.

Chief Zhou checked the relevant documents, wrote a letter of recommendation, and then said to Mo Hua:

"On October 26, there will be a rank test in the second-rank Black Mountain State. The location is Cangyun Sect in Qingshan City. I will send someone to take you there."

Mo Hua nodded.

October 26, which is seven days later, is very close.

"It seems that Mr. Zhuang... Master, even the time for the rank test has been calculated..."

Mo Hua said silently in his heart.
