Chapter 406 Nanyue City
In this way, they hurried on their way, drew formations, beat up the robbers, fed Dabai, and looked at the local customs along the way.
A few months later, Mo Hua and his party finally arrived at Nanyue City.
Nanyue City is larger than Tongxian City.
On the mountain outside Nanyue City, Mo Hua looked far away and roughly estimated that Nanyue City was about twice the size of Tongxian City.
The tower was a little higher, but a little more crude.
The formations on it were not very advanced.
Of course, this was for Mo Hua.
The city wall was old, and it was a little cracked and mottled after being exposed to wind and sun.
Before entering the city, each person had to pay a city entrance fee of one spirit stone.
Not all immortal cities have city entrance fees.
Tongxian City doesn't.
Along the way, almost most of the immortal cities didn't have to pay.
And even if they had to pay a city entrance fee, it wouldn't be so much.
One spirit stone is not a small amount for ordinary casual cultivators.
Besides, the Xiaohuangzhou looks even poorer than other places.
Mr. Zhuang, Master Kui, and three little disciples, there are five people in their group.
Mo Hua handed over five spirit stones.
The guard took the spirit stones and let them go.
They didn't dare to embarrass Mo Hua.
Because the tall Dabai was standing next to Mo Hua.
They couldn't afford to offend the cultivators who could afford such spirit horses and carriages.
Mo Hua and his companions passed through the city gate and entered Nanyue City.
Nanyue City is bigger and the road is wider.
But the stone bricks on the ground are potholes due to weathering, and there is a lot of dust. Most of the cultivators who come and go are shabby and have vicissitudes on their faces.
"Master, where are we going?"
Mo Hua sat on Dabai and asked back.
"Let's find an inn to stay in first."
"Okay."
Mo Hua asked a few monks, then walked along the street, turned left and right, and came to a street corner.
There was an inn at the corner, with an old plaque hanging on it, and the four characters "Nanyue Inn" were written on it.
Nanyue, only one character different from the city name Nanyue.
This inn was neither luxurious nor crowded, and it looked neat and clean.
Mo Hua and his friends stayed in Nanyue Inn.
After registering, the waiter served tea.
Mo Hua said to the waiter:
"Help me feed the big white horse!"
"Okay!"
The waiter shouted and asked, "Little brother, what kind of fodder do you use?"
"Is there any difference in fodder?" Mo Hua asked.
"Yes, there are three kinds of fodder: ordinary, premium, and premium. The price and quality are different, but it is definitely worth the money."
The waiter explained eloquently.
Mo Hua asked about the price again and found that even the premium one was not expensive, so he said directly and generously:
"Hey, the best!"
The border of Xiaohuangzhou is a bit desolate. Mo Hua has not been able to get any good grass during the journey these days. Dabai has not had a good diet and has become thin due to hunger.
Although he still looks tall and strong, Mo Hua knows that Dabai must have lost weight.
"Okay!"
The waiter went down happily to move the fodder.
Mo Hua went over and touched Dabai, "There will be delicious food later, eat more!"
Dabai nodded his head, stuck out his tongue, and licked Mo Hua's face affectionately.
Mo Hua also smiled.
Prepare delicious food for Dabai, he will also go to eat.
The inn prepared wine and food.
Mr. Zhuang and his friends have already taken their seats.
Seeing Mo Hua, Bai Zisheng was somewhat envious and puzzled:
"Why is Dabai so close to you?"
Mo Hua said confidently: "Because I feed it food!"
Bai Zisheng shook his head, "No."
Not everyone feeds Dabai, and Dabai is willing to eat.
At least when he feeds it, Dabai is obviously a little disgusted.
Mo Hua asked, "Is it because the food you feed is too unpalatable? That's why Dabai dislikes you?"
Bai Zisheng frowned, "Aren't they all grass? What's the difference?"
"Of course they are different. Some grass tastes good, and some tastes bad."
Bai Zisheng frowned, "I'm not a horse, how do I know which grass tastes good and which tastes bad?"
Then he looked at Mo Hua in shock, "You wouldn't taste it yourself before feeding it to Dabai, would you?"
Mo Hua looked at Bai Zisheng with a little contempt, "I'm not you, how can I be so stupid?"
"I'm your senior brother, and you actually say I'm stupid?"
"Who said that senior brothers can't be stupid?"
...
The two chattered and talked again.
Bai Zisheng was still confused and couldn't help asking again:
"How do you know which grass tastes good and which grass tastes bad?"
Mo Hua thought for a while, then whispered:
"I'm telling you because you're my senior brother..."
"Yeah!" Bai Zisheng nodded repeatedly.
Mo Hua then pointed out:
"There are some rules for pulling grass."
"If you look at the grass growing on the ground with your eyes, most of them are the same color..."
"But if you use your spiritual sense to see, the 'color' of each grass is different."
"Some grass is light blue, which means it is rich in spiritual energy; some grass is light green, which means it is fresh; some grass is dark green, which means it is old; some grass is red, which means it is evil; and some grass is purple or black, which means it is poisonous..."
"When feeding Dabai, you should pull fresh grass. Even if it is dark green, it cannot be too old. Of course, it is better to pull grass with spiritual energy..."
Then Mo Hua glanced at Bai Zisheng lightly:
"The grass you pulled looks the same, but the aura is red and green, and some are poisonous. It would be strange if Dabai doesn't dislike you..."
Bai Zisheng was amazed.
Pulling grass can actually reveal so much knowledge.
"How do you know all this?" Bai Zisheng couldn't help asking.
Mo Hua was a little confused, "How can I know this? Just look at it with my eyes and scan it with my spiritual sense, and I will know it, right?"
Bai Zisheng's expression was complicated.
Okay, he was fooled by his junior brother again...
But then he frowned again.
Is that so?
I seem to have scanned it with my spiritual sense, but I haven't seen the colorful things that Mo Hua said...
Could it be that my spiritual sense is not enough?
Bai Zisheng was entangled in the matter of "pulling grass" on the side.
Mo Hua was eating heartily on the side.
He was busy for a long time and was very hungry.
While eating, Mo Hua suddenly remembered something and asked Mr. Zhuang again:
"Master, can I go to see Teacher Yan?"
Mr. Zhuang took a sip of wine and nodded, "Yes."
After that, he ordered: "Zisheng and Zixi will go with you."
"Yes." Mo Hua nodded.
Bai Zisheng and Bai Zixi both nodded and said, "Okay, Master."
After everyone finished their meal, Mr. Zhuang rested in the inn, and Old Kui watched the carriage.
Mo Hua, Bai Zisheng and Bai Zixi went around Nanyue City to see if they could find Instructor Yan.
Mo Hua started from the perspective of the formation master.
Instructor Yan is a formation master. If he came to Nanyue City, he should have intersections with other formation masters.
Mo Hua asked the waiter and found out about the caves of several famous formation masters in Nanyue City.
One or two of them were first-grade formation masters who had passed the qualification.
There were also a few who could draw a first-grade nine-pattern formation, but they had not crossed the threshold and had not been qualified, so they could only be regarded as "pseudo-first-grade" formation masters.
Mo Hua remembered the residences of several people, drew a line on the map of Nanyue City, and then visited them one by one.
The threshold for formation masters is high.
Not only the threshold of talent, but also the threshold in front of the cave is very high.
At least the three young cultivators of Mo Hua could not cross it.
Although he looked very impressive, he was indeed a little young and looked too immature.
The disciple stopped them and did not let them in, but he was still polite and just said:
"The master is receiving distinguished guests, please do not disturb him."
Mo Hua asked: "When will the reception be over?"
"That's hard to say..." The disciple hesitated.
After all, there are so many people queuing up to see their master, and it will take more than a month if they line up one by one.
What's more, it is not certain whether the master has time to see these three young monks.
He thought that Mo Hua and his friends came to pay homage to him.
This kind of thing happens often.
The disciple said tactfully: "Three young friends, please go back."
Mo Hua had no choice but to take out the Tianshu Ring to show his true identity as a "first-class formation master".
The moment he took out the Tianshu Ring, Mo Hua could clearly feel that the disciple's whole body trembled, and even his voice trembled:
"You, you...this..."
He was a little incoherent, and didn't know what to say for a while.
Where would there be a ten-year-old first-grade array master?
The disciple thought it was fake, but he didn't dare to bet.
He was also an array apprentice, and he was learning array from a master.
If it was fake, he would have no problem stopping it.
But if it was real, then he would really offend a first-grade array master, and he would really have to pack up and leave...
Besides, even if it was fake, he knew to use the "Tianshu Ring" to fake it, so his identity was not ordinary, at least he was considered an "insider".
The disciple said respectfully:
"Young brother, please wait a moment. I will go in and report."
In less than a cup of tea, a formation master with gorgeous clothes, half white hair and beard, who looked like the owner of the cave, came out and said with a smile:
"Which young friend is a first-class formation master?"
Mo Hua showed his Tianshu ring again.
The formation master looked at the small Mo Hua, then looked at the Tianshu ring on his thumb, which was one size larger, then looked at Mo Hua, then looked at the Tianshu ring again...
He was obviously absent-minded for a while...
He heard from his disciples that a young first-class formation master came to visit him, so he naturally didn't believe it at first.
Now, even though he saw the Tianshu Ring with his own eyes, he was still half-believing and half-doubting.
Until he invited Mo Hua in and saw Mo Hua draw a first-class formation with ease.
After that, they exchanged a few words about the knowledge of formations, and then he was convinced.
His attitude towards Mo Hua was extremely polite, even with a bit of respect.
There is no order of learning, and the one who is accomplished is respected.
This young gentleman really has the accomplishments of a first-class formation master.
