Chapter 44 Inspiration

The Origin of Formation Theory can only be read at Mr. Zhuang's place and cannot be taken out.

In the following days, Mo Hua would go to Mr. Zhuang's Zuowangju early in the morning, and then find a quiet and comfortable place to read alone.

If he had any questions, he would write them down silently, and when Mr. Zhuang had a rest, he would go to ask for advice. Mr. Zhuang would answer every question, and often he could solve Mo Hua's doubts in a few words, which made Mo Hua admire him greatly.

In just a few days, Mo Hua's knowledge of formations has increased a lot.

Mo Shan and his wife wanted to visit him to thank him, but Mr. Zhuang declined. Mr. Zhuang said that he liked to be secluded and did not interact with others. He appreciated his kindness, but there was no need to visit him.

Having said that, but without any expression, Mo Shan and his wife always felt bad.

Mo Shan went up the mountain and killed a wild buffalo. Liu Ruhua marinated the beef and stewed it to make it tasty. She also made various snacks and asked Mo Hua to take them all and give them to Mr. Zhuang. She also told Mo Hua:

"Since Mr. Zhuang likes quietness, we will not disturb him, but some small gifts must be given. Mr. Zhuang is probably not short of spiritual stones and the like. Although these foods are not expensive, they are at least our thoughts. Huaer, you give them to Mr. Zhuang. I hope he will not dislike them."

"Yes." Mo Hua nodded in agreement.

When Mo Hua gave the food box to Mr. Zhuang, he felt a little uneasy.

Judging from Mr. Zhuang's appearance, he probably had eaten all kinds of delicacies. He might not like these ordinary casual cultivators' food.

But Mr. Zhuang seemed to find the food box quite novel. He tasted a few slices of beef and nodded slightly.

Although it was a low-grade wild monster without spiritual energy, the cooking method was very unique. The aroma of the wild meat mixed with spicy spices had a wildness that he had never experienced before.

It was the first time for Mr. Zhuang to eat beef of this flavor. He couldn't help but eat a few more slices and kept some for drinking.

Mo Hua gave some snacks to Kui Lao. Kui Lao was a little surprised to receive the snacks, but he didn't make a fuss with Mo Hua. He tasted a few bites and didn't say it was good or bad.

Seeing that both of them accepted the gifts, tasted them in person, and had no dissatisfaction, Mo Hua felt relieved.

Liu Ruhua was also very happy. When she had time, she would make more dishes of different styles for Mo Hua to give to Mr. Zhuang and Kui Lao.

There are many kinds of monsters in the mountains, and they have different tastes. Liu Ruhua is usually busy with the restaurant business. In her spare time, she concentrates on studying cooking and tries various cooking methods with the meat obtained from hunting monsters in Mo Mountain. Different meats are matched with different seasonings and different stewing methods, which also present different flavors.

Some of them taste very good, and some taste not easy to accept. Liu Ruhua will pick out the ones that taste good and let Mo Hua bring them to Mr. Zhuang to taste.

Kui Lao likes to eat snacks, and according to Mo Hua's observation, Kui Lao likes to eat crispy snacks, and especially likes to eat snacks while playing chess. So Liu Ruhua made some crispy fruits and asked Mo Hua to send them to Kui Lao every now and then.

Over time, Mr. Zhuang got used to it and didn't like the food made by Kui Lao.

One day, Mo Hua sent braised meat and snacks to Mr. Zhuang and Kui Lao, read books for a day, asked a few questions, and then said goodbye and went home.

It was late, and Mr. Zhuang sat by the pond, looking at the sunset in the sky, eating beef and drinking wine, looking quite leisurely.

Old Kui was eating snacks and playing chess with himself. After a while, he looked up at Mr. Zhuang and said:

"Your Qi Hai is broken. You can eat other things, but don't be greedy. Don't miss the medicinal food I made."

Mr. Zhuang looked indifferent: "A broken mirror cannot be mended, and spilled water cannot be collected. The Qi Hai is broken. It's useless to eat anything. It's better to eat something that makes you happy."

Old Kui was too lazy to care about him. After a while, he suddenly asked: "Is it really that delicious?"

Mr. Zhuang took another piece of meat and put it in his mouth, tasting it carefully, "The taste is very special."

Old Kui frowned and said: "What delicacies have you not eaten in your life? Why are you greedy now?"

"Yes."

Mr. Zhuang showed an interesting expression, but his eyes hid the fickleness of the world:

"I'm tired of eating delicacies from mountains and seas. Although these things are simple, the thoughts they contain are also simple, so they are the most precious."

"Oh," Old Kui pretended not to hear, still concentrating on playing chess, while picking up a piece of crisp fruit and putting it in his mouth.

Mr. Zhuang looked at him and suddenly asked, "You can't taste it, why are you eating these?"

Old Kui concentrated on the chessboard, and after a moment he said, "I'm chewing for a sound."

After that, he picked up a piece of shortbread and started to chew it.

Half a month later, Mo Hua had almost finished reading "The Origin of Formation Theory", and Mr. Zhuang began to teach Mo Hua the theory of formation.

The formation theory taught by Mr. Zhuang was broader and more obscure than that taught by Yan Jiaoxi. It was all formation terms that Mo Hua had never heard of, and Mo Hua learned very slowly.

Mr. Zhuang also looked casual, and he never said a word whether Mo Hua learned fast or slow, or whether he learned well or badly.

But I think it was because he ate too much beef, and Mr. Zhuang was also uneasy, so he asked Mo Hua:

"What kind of formation master do you want to be?"

Mo Hua wanted to become a first-class formation master first, but this goal might be too small in Mr. Zhuang's eyes, and he didn't know what kind of formation master there was, so he said honestly:

"I don't know what kind of formation master I can become."

Mr. Zhuang pondered for a moment and said: "Your spiritual roots are not good. Even if you don't lack spiritual stones and skills, it's not easy to cultivate to the Golden Core stage. The realm determines the upper limit of the formation master. Even if you have a high level of comprehension, you can't reach a higher level of formation without a sufficient realm..."

"Speaking of comprehension, your comprehension is actually good, but unfortunately, you started too late and lack the foundation for understanding various formation theories. The children of the aristocratic families have been exposed to it since childhood. Influence, some advanced formations have been familiar to people since childhood. You lack this accumulation, even if you start from scratch now, you will be much slower. "

"When I taught my disciples before, I always taught them the theory of formations first, so that they could remember the thousands of formation schools and theories in the cultivation world, lay a foundation, and it would be easier to integrate them in the future and go further in the formation. "

Mr. Zhuang looked at Mo Hua with a slightly apologetic look, but still said frankly: "But you may not go far at all. The third-grade formation master may be the limit, so teaching you according to the previous method is just a waste of time and will not do you any good."

Mo Hua looked gloomy, and felt a little disappointed.

But when he came to his senses, let alone a third-grade formation master, even if he became a second-grade formation master, he would be happy. After all, there are only a handful of first-grade formation masters in the entire Tongxian City.

I almost became as arrogant as Mr. Zhuang...

Mo Hua thought for a moment and said solemnly: "Everything in the world has its own destiny. I just need to concentrate on learning the formation. I will learn as much as I can. If I care too much about gains and losses, I will lose my original intention. Please give me some advice."

Mr. Zhuang was slightly surprised and looked at Mo Hua silently, then smiled calmly:

"You are right. It is up to man to plan things, but it is up to God to gain and lose. We should not waste our time because of worries about gains and losses. In this case, I will change the teaching method tomorrow."
