Chapter 441: Spiritual Pivot Formation
"Master Yan, what kind of formation is the Lingshu formation?"
Mo Hua couldn't help asking.
Master Yan was about to answer, but suddenly paused, "How do you know about the Lingshu formation?"
Master Yan was a little surprised.
The Lingshu formation diagram should be the unique skill of Xiao Lingyin Sect, how did Mo Hua know it?
"Manager Mo told me!"
Mo Hua sold Manager Mo immediately.
Master Yan's mouth twitched.
He made a note of Manager Mo in his heart.
This fat junior brother, his mouth is so loose, such an important thing, he actually told Mo Hua.
"Master Yan, can you tell me?"
Mo Hua looked expectant, his big eyes flickered.
Master Yan didn't want to say it, but looking at Mo Hua's eyes, he couldn't refuse. After hesitating for a moment, he couldn't help but sigh deeply.
Xiao Lingyin Sect has been destroyed, and these things are meaningless.
"Okay." Instructor Yan nodded, looked at the ink painting, and talked about the origin of the Lingshu formation:
"When I was studying in the sect, I was highly valued by the master. In the casual chats, I also heard some secrets of the past..."
"The inheritance of the Xiaolingyin Sect was obtained from the former Dalingyin Sect."
"Most of the inheritance in the sect is the legacy of the predecessors, which is not complete. It is not rare to have only a few fragments..."
"Only this Lingshu formation is extremely mysterious and difficult. It is really It can be used as a sect-defending formation."
"But this Lingshu formation is too abstruse and difficult. For hundreds of years, no cultivator in Xiaolingyin Sect has been able to comprehend this formation."
Teacher Yan sighed, "A first-grade formation has nine patterns, but this Lingshu formation has twelve patterns..."
"The twelve-pattern spiritual consciousness can only be achieved by building a foundation, and it is impossible for a second-grade formation master to have it!"
At the eighth level of Qi Refining, Mo Hua, who has twelve spiritual consciousness patterns, said nothing.
Mo Hua thought for a moment and asked again:
"Has Xiao Lingyin Sect ever produced a second-grade formation master?"
"Yes." Instructor Yan nodded, "Two hundred years ago, there was a master who was in the middle stage of foundation building and had the attainment of the second-grade initial formation."
"Didn't he learn the Lingshu formation?"
Instructor Yan shook his head and said regretfully: "No."
Mo Hua frowned and asked in confusion:
"A cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building should have about fourteen spiritual patterns. How could he not learn the Lingshu formation? Is the Lingshu formation so difficult to learn?"
"No, I'm afraid it's not possible. It's not that simple..."
Teacher Yan sorted out his thoughts and explained to Mo Hua:
"For a formation master, spiritual awareness is a threshold and a reliance, but that's all."
"Without spiritual awareness, you can't learn formations."
"Having spiritual awareness only qualifies you to learn formations, but you may not necessarily learn them."
"You still need to learn more, practice more, think more, and understand more..."
"If you don't work hard, no matter how good your spiritual awareness is, you can only waste your time and talent and cannot become an extraordinary formation master."
Mo Hua nodded.
Mr. Zhuang also taught himself this way.
Teacher Yan looked stern, and then sighed:
"And the Lingshu formation is this kind of formation, even if the spiritual consciousness is sufficient, it is extremely difficult to comprehend..."
Mo Hua said: "Because it involves the comprehension of the heavenly way and the origin of spiritual power?"
Teacher Yan looked surprised and nodded:
"Yes."
Then he sighed:
"Mr. Zhuang is indeed a master. Mo Hua, this child, at such an old age, has already understood the deep understanding of these formations."
It seems that his choice back then was right, otherwise it would really be a waste of such a good formation seedling.
Mo Hua asked again: "Did the second-rank ancestor of the Little Lingyin Sect fail to learn the Lingshu Formation because he failed to comprehend the great Dao essence of the Lingshu Formation?"
Judge Yan nodded and said bitterly:
"Yes, the master probably knew what the essence of the Lingshu Formation was, but he just couldn't comprehend it, let alone draw the Lingshu Formation..."
"Sometimes even if it is drawn, it only has a form without spirit and has no effect."
Mo Hua nodded to show his understanding.
When he first learned the thick earth formation, he didn't know that he had to communicate with the Dao of the earth, and the formation he drew only had a formal formation pattern without the effect of the formation essence.
It was like a pattern that had lost its spirit.
"So what effect does this Lingshu Formation have?" Mo Hua asked curiously.
Instructor Yan said, "As for the details, no one in the sect has learned it, so I don't know much..."
"But according to the sect master's understanding, the core of this formation should be the word 'control'."
"Control?"
Instructor Yan nodded, "Spiritual power control."
Mo Hua thought of Zhang Quan who controlled corpses.
It seems that what he thought was right. This Zhang Quan first refined corpses and then used the spiritual pivot formation to increase the number of controlled corpses.
It's just...
"This... doesn't seem to be that powerful..." Mo Hua said weakly.
It's just the effect of spiritual power control.
Zhang Quan used it to refine corpses. Although the number of zombies controlled by him was large and the harm was great, it was not something to be feared.
If we really want to start fighting, there are still many ways to target him.
"No," Yan Jiaoxi looked solemn, "Lingshu formation is actually very powerful."
Mo Hua was slightly stunned.
Yan Jiaoxi explained to Mo Hua:
"Spiritual power control is extremely important, and controlling corpses is just a small trick."
"Other aspects of cultivation, from wooden and stone puppets to mechanical heavy beasts and even giant cultivation soldiers, all require formations such as Lingshu formations for central control."
"Ordinary formations do not have such a powerful control effect."
"This formation is not effective enough for a single cultivator, but the more cultivators there are, the greater their power, the more far-reaching their plans, the more massive the mechanisms, equipment, and cultivation projects involved, the more important the Lingshu formation is!"
Mo Hua was shocked when he heard this.
It seems that he is shallow.
The cultivation world is vast and vast, and there are indeed many cultivation knowledge that he has never understood.
Lingshu formation is so powerful...
"Teacher Yan, do you know Zhang Quan?" Mo Hua asked.
Teacher Yan's expression was stern, "Have you seen him?"
"Yes." Mo Hua nodded.
Teacher Yan frowned, "This man is insidious and cruel, it's best not to have conflicts with him."
Mo Hua whispered:
"It's too late, he probably dreams of killing me now..."
Teacher Yan opened his mouth wide, "You...what did you do to him?"
Mo Hua thought for a while and said, "It seems nothing, mainly because he is narrow-minded and holds grudges."
I just wanted to catch him, but didn't catch him, wanted to steal his bell, but didn't, and finally stole a few zombies.
And I did it with the help of my brothers and sisters.
Who knew that Zhang Quan only picked the weak ones, didn't hate his brothers and sisters, but only hated himself.
Mo Hua complained in his heart.
Teacher Yan didn't know what to say.
Zhang Quan is a foundation-building cultivator, and he is also a corpse cultivator. He has been dealing with corpses for many years, and his subordinates have been involved in countless deaths.
Mo Hua was actually hated by him...
Teacher Yan was very worried.
Mo Hua whispered: "Teacher Yan, is the Lingshu formation on Zhang Quan's body?"
Teacher Yan was slightly startled, and slowly nodded:
"I also guessed so..."
Mo Hua nodded, and then remembered something and asked:
"Teacher Yan, how did you get to the walking corpse village?"
Teacher Yan looked melancholy, thought about it, and slowly said:
"Two years ago, I went to Nanyue City, looking for the traitor who betrayed his teacher and ancestors..."
"But there is no trace of the traitor in Nanyue City. "
"I concealed my identity and inquired for a long time, but there was no news. When I was about to leave, I found that there was something strange in the mine. I thought it was the traitor, so I rented a room near the mine and planned to find out. "
"One night, I heard a noise and went out quietly. After some twists and turns, I found that there were several monks transporting coffins near the mine..."
"I was careful enough, but I never expected that there would be a foundation-building monk among them."
"Is it that Zhang Quan?" Mo Hua asked.
"Yeah." Instructor Yan nodded, and then said with some shame, "I only focused on learning the formation, and I was not proficient in Taoism. I was no match for them at all, and I had no way to escape, so I fell into their hands."
"Zhang Quan looked through my storage bag, and seeing that I was a formation master, he asked me to work for them."
"I didn't want to help the evil, but I had to avenge my master's deep hatred, so I could only..."
Instructor Yan looked ashamed, "... I could only compromise and enter this zombie village to draw formations for them."
Mo Hua asked, "Then have you seen the Lingshu formation diagram on Zhang Quan?"
Instructor Yan was helpless: "No..."
"I suspect that the corpses he refined had the Lingshu formation drawn on them, but Zhang Quan never let me draw formations for zombies, and never let me touch those zombies..."
Mo Hua said, "Are you afraid that some secrets will be exposed?"
Instructor Yan nodded, "It's very likely."
Mo Hua held his little chin and thought for a while.
This Zhang Quan's secrets are indeed quite a lot, and I have to find a way to figure it out.
The Lingshu formation diagram is very important, and we must find a way to get it.
This zombie village, where people are killed and corpses are refined, must be taken down.
Mo Hua planned what to do next, and then said:
"Master Yan, stay for a few more days, and I will pick you up after a few days."
Master Yan was stunned, "How... can I pick you up?"
This is the zombie village, there are robbers, corpse cultivators, zombies and iron corpses, and Zhang Quan, who is in the foundation building period, may come back at any time.
"Don't worry." Mo Hua promised.
He wanted to pick up Master Yan now.
The zombie village is not a good place after all.
But he sneaked in by stealth, and he didn't have the strength to kill everyone for the time being. Even if he had the protection of his junior sister and junior brother, he couldn't guarantee Master Yan's safety during the battle.
It is better to take a long-term view and make thorough preparations before taking action.
Anyway, with the identity of a formation master, these corpse cultivators should not embarrass Instructor Yan.
Mo Hua had made up his mind, and then he remembered something, and said to Instructor Yan with "serious words":
"Instructor, Xiao Lingyin Sect is gone, and you should not think about revenge. Think more about yourself, live well, find a Taoist partner, and start a family..."
"You said..." Instructor Yan frowned, "Why do I sound so familiar?"
Mo Hua said crisply: "This is what Manager Mo asked me to say."
Instructor Yan had a complicated expression, and he kept a score with Manager Mo in his heart.
It's not enough for him to nag, but he also let Mo Hua nag.
I will slowly settle the score with him later.
Mo Hua gave another reminder for a while, and then said goodbye:
"Instructor Yan, I'm going back first, and I'll come to see you in a few days."
Mo Hua's tone was relaxed and casual, which made Instructor Yan dazed.
It was as if this was not the zombie village, but an inn in Nanyue City, and Mo Hua would come to visit again in a few days...
Then Mo Hua disappeared in front of Teacher Yan.
Teacher Yan's pupils shrank.
Although he had expected it and knew that Mo Hua had a way to hide, he was still very shocked at this moment.
When Mo Hua came, he didn't notice anything, and when he left, there was no trace.
This hiding method is quite clever.
Who taught him?
Mr. Zhuang...
Teacher Yan stood there in a daze for a moment, and suddenly he was stunned again. He remembered a question:
What does Mo Hua want to do with the Lingshu formation diagram?
Mo Hua is a child with many questions. He kept asking questions when he was in Tongxianmen before.
As a teacher, Teacher Yan is used to answering questions for Mo Hua.
So he answered whatever Mo Hua asked.
But at this moment, he suddenly reacted.
What did Mo Hua go through so much trouble to find this formation diagram?
An incredible thought suddenly came to his mind.
Mo Hua, this kid, wouldn't really want to learn it.
Impossible...
The first-grade twelve patterns, the required spiritual consciousness...
Yan Jiaoxi was stunned.
He realized that Mo Hua had completely avoided his spiritual consciousness when he entered the room, and when he left, he was silent.
And the aura around him was obscure and unfathomable.
This is a sign of a strong spiritual consciousness.
Could it be...
Yan Jiaoxi looked at the empty room where Mo Hua had just disappeared, and his heart suddenly trembled.
"Spiritual Pivot Array..."
Yan Jiaoxi murmured, and a glimmer of hope appeared in his eyes.
He also wanted to see if anyone could really learn this first-grade twelve-pattern spiritual pivot array of the Little Lingyin Sect, which no one had been able to comprehend for hundreds of years!
Thank you book friend PYHuang for the reward~
