Chapter 591 Mr. Xun
That being said, he is still just an ordinary little disciple of Taixu now, so it is better to practice quietly.
But this is the best.
My master taught me that people are afraid of being famous, and pigs are afraid of being fat.
The rafters that stick out will rot first.
It is the best choice to make a fortune quietly, practice in a low profile, and improve yourself.
The next day, Mo Hua practiced the formation on the Taoist stele all night, and then got up early, full of energy, and went to class.
The Taixu Order showed that his first class was the practice class.
The one who taught the practice class was an inner door elder, with gorgeous Taoist robes and high moral character.
But because it was only the first class, he didn't say too much, just a few words to talk about the content of the practice class.
"Cultivation is the foundation of a cultivator."
"All Taoist methods are based on cultivation, and formations, pills, talismans, and tools are also based on cultivation, as the foundation for determining the quality."
"Only when your cultivation breaks through and your realm is improved can you transcend the categories of cultivation and advance one level at a time."
"Therefore, cultivation is the step to seeking immortality and asking for the way."
"For children of aristocratic families, refining qi is just enlightenment, and building a foundation is the starting point. Only when the foundation is solid and the spiritual power is strong can you form a top-grade golden elixir..."
"Only with a top-grade golden elixir can you ascend to a higher level of the avenue..."
"Step by step, the more solid the foundation, the further you will go in the future..."
"It's still too early for you to form an elixir." , it's good to know a little. You are only in the early stage of foundation building now. The most urgent task is to walk the foundation building path firmly and well..."
"All the roads lead to the same destination. Most of you are children of aristocratic families, with different backgrounds and different skills, but there are some common methods that you still need to learn carefully."
"How to make spiritual power pure, how to make the Zhoutian complete, how to make the foundation stable..."
"How to avoid mistakes in the practice of foundation building, without hurting the meridians and the sea of qi..."
"How to improve the cultivation steadily and quickly..."
"How to get rid of some bad habits in cultivation, how to be humble and calm, and calm the heart of Taoism, and show signs of going astray, what should I do ? "
...
"These are the extremely valuable insights and experiences accumulated by countless ancestors of my Taixu Sect over thousands of years, with painstaking efforts and painstaking research."
"In the following courses, I will teach you little by little..."
"No matter what your previous background is, what kind of inheritance you have, after learning the cultivation courses, it will broaden your horizons in cultivation and let you have a clearer understanding of the future path of cultivation..."
"Next, I will briefly talk about how to cultivate the foundation..."
"For Qi-refining cultivators, spiritual power is a refined gaseous state. When it reaches the foundation-building stage, the spiritual power changes qualitatively and condenses like mercury..."
"Like mercury The spiritual power needs to be further refined, refined, condensed, and finally crystallized, and finally transformed into the life elixir..."
"This cannot be achieved overnight, it requires years of practice and perseverance..."
"In addition, to build the foundation spiritual power, it is also necessary to cleanse the blood, consolidate the meridians, and expand the sea of qi..."
"In the past, this was called 'washing the tendons and cutting the marrow', but now the practice is iterating and gradually evolving, and there is no such obvious effect..."
"Today's practice has been improved for generations, and it pays more attention to warming and gradual progress, which also reduces the probability of mistakes in practice and going astray..."
...
The inner door elder is knowledgeable, calm, and talks in a leisurely tone.
Mo Hua listened carefully and benefited a lot.
Since building the foundation, he has been practicing by himself according to the Tianyan Jue. Anyway, as long as he absorbs spirit stones and his spiritual power is growing, it's fine.
He never thought that there are so many details in practice.
In order to achieve Dan, and even higher realms, one must "look far ahead", take every step carefully, and practice in a planned way...
Although the elder did not say much, Mo Hua was still very shocked after listening.
This is the inheritance of a large sect!
This is the crystallization of the experience of countless generations of Taixu Sect's predecessors over thousands of years!
But Mo Hua was also a little puzzled.
This elder seemed to be talking about how those cultivators who have forged the "spiritual power" and "blood" foundations can purify their blood, refine their spiritual power, perfect their foundations, and go further.
And I am the one who has achieved enlightenment through my spiritual consciousness...
The elder did not mention anything about spiritual consciousness...
And my spiritual power is meager, my blood is weak, I have never polished my realm, nor have I consolidated my foundation. I have completely fooled my way up...
It is far from the way of practice described by the elder.
Mo Hua sighed silently in his heart.
It seems that I can only learn it first, and then study it carefully when I have time...
Anyway, I have just started, and I still have more time.
In the days that followed, Mo Hua practiced, drew formations, and attended classes...
But after a few days, Mo Hua suddenly realized a problem:
He was still unfamiliar with Taixu Sect and didn't know much about it.
This was not good...
In the next few years, or even decades, he would be in Taixu Sect and must be familiar with the environment of Taixu Sect.
This is the basic of a demon hunter.
When you arrive in a strange place, you must first familiarize yourself with the environment.
When he first entered Dahei Mountain, his father Mo Shan took him to travel all over the outer and inner mountains, and he was also familiar with the terrain of the mountains and rivers, the traces of demon beasts, and the location of herbs and minerals...
Only then could he thrive in Dahei Mountain.
Although Taixu Sect is not Dahei Mountain, and the elders and teachers are not demon beasts, the principles are the same.
Sharpening the knife does not delay the chopping of wood.
Mo Hua decided to study and check out Taixu Sect first.
This way, it would be easier for him to "get by" in the future...
Because he had just entered the sect, there were not many classes and he had plenty of free time, so Mo Hua began to walk around Taixu Sect with his hands behind his back...
Then he asked Shangguan Xu and some other senior brothers and sisters about it.
Because he looked cute and well-behaved, spoke well, and asked questions that new disciples did not know and were indeed curious about, so he could basically ask anything he wanted to ask.
After a month, Mo Hua also had a general understanding of Taixu Sect.
First of all, the environment.
Taixu Sect is located in the ancient and majestic Taixu Mountain.
In the middle is a long jade stone staircase connecting the inner and outer mountains.
In front is the outer mountain, and in the back is the inner mountain.
The outer mountain of Taixu Sect is for outer disciples, external teachers, and guest elders to live and practice.
In addition, there is a large dojo in the middle.
On the right side of the dojo is the disciple residence.
On the left is the preaching pavilion for disciples to attend classes, and there are also preaching buildings such as the weapon refining pavilion, alchemy pavilion, talisman refining pavilion, and Taoism pavilion for disciples to practice Taoism and cultivate various professions.
And the library that Mo Hua is jealous of, but has no authority and cannot enter for the time being, which collects Taoism classics, especially various formations.
Behind the outer mountain is the inner mountain.
The inner mountain has the residence of the head, the residence of the elders, the residence of the inner disciples, and some preaching buildings.
And behind the inner mountain is the back mountain.
The back mountain is a forbidden area, and no one knows what is hidden inside.
Mo Hua is an outer disciple, and he can't even go to the inner mountain, let alone the back mountain. It is estimated that there are either old monsters or ancestors inside, so he didn't ask much.
And Taixu Sect also has a famous formation, called:
"Taixu Hunyuan Mountain Protection Formation"!
This formation, beyond Mo Hua's expectations, is a fifth-grade formation!
A fifth-grade state boundary, a fifth-grade formation...
Mo Hua, who had constructed the formation himself, was shocked and even a little unbelievable.
What level of formation master could have such a handiwork...
He wanted to find out more, but he heard that this formation had not been opened for tens of thousands of years, and he didn't know if it could be used, or if it was really fifth-grade, so most disciples had almost forgotten it...
Some people even said that the fifth-grade formation of Taixu Sect was fake, and it was a rumor, and it was actually only third or fourth grade...
Mo Hua didn't believe it, and he wanted to verify it himself, so he went to the edge of the sect to dig out the wall.
Unfortunately, he couldn't dig it out, and his divine sense couldn't calculate any traces...
This level of formation, from the materials used in the formation base to the formation pattern construction, has completely exceeded Mo Hua's cultivation and formation knowledge.
He couldn't pry it open, and he couldn't calculate it.
But Mo Hua was not discouraged.
"When I have a higher level of cultivation in the future, I must come back to the sect to pry open the door and see if there is really a fifth-grade formation!"
Mo Hua nodded and silently made a "great wish" in his heart.
In addition, there is the issue of inner and outer gates.
Back in Tongxian City, Tongxian Sect was also divided into inner and outer gates, but the division method of that small place was somewhat different from the fifth-grade sect such as Taixu Sect in Qianxuezhou.
It was also somewhat different from what Mo Hua had understood before.
He is now an outer sect disciple.
In the early stage of foundation building, all new disciples are considered outer sect disciples.
After cultivating to the golden elixir, you can graduate.
After graduation, you can choose to leave the sect and return to the family, or go to other forces to make a living and seek a longer-term path.
You can also choose to stay in the sect, pass the assessment, and join the inner sect.
The outer sect is to open the door to accept disciples and earn tuition.
The inner sect is to stay in the sect to teach, manage the sect, and teach.
Most of the inner sect disciples are to serve as "teachers".
"Teachers" in Taixu Sect is a position, referring to the cultivators who are responsible for teaching and lecturing. They can be inner sect disciples in the Jindan stage, elders, or even the head of the sect.
And teachers are divided into two categories.
One category is hired from outside, living in the outer sect, and is a teacher hired from outside who is above the Jindan stage or even the Yuhua stage, or a guest elder.
These people do not belong to the inner sect, but are hired to teach.
The other category is disciples who join the inner sect and obtain the inner sect inheritance, as well as elders who are promoted from disciples.
The inner sect disciples and elders are divided into ordinary and true disciples.
Ordinary inner sect disciples worship ordinary elders and learn important inheritances of the sect.
True inner sect disciples worship true elders and will be allowed to learn the real core and sect inheritance.
These are also two promotion paths.
Ordinary disciples are promoted to ordinary elders as their cultivation improves.
True disciples, when their cultivation breaks through to the level of Immortality, are promoted to true elders.
And the core positions of the sect, including the deputy head and the head, are only selected from the true elders.
Ordinary disciples, ordinary elders;
True disciples, true elders, and even deputy heads and heads.
These are two promotion paths that look similar, but are clearly distinguished.
Mo Hua's little head was confused for a long time before he could distinguish between the inner and outer sects, external teachers and inner sect teachers, guest elders and inner sect elders, ordinary inner sect disciples and true disciples, ordinary inner sect elders and true elders...
"Even in the sect, the hierarchy is clear and complex..."
Mo Hua sighed.
After understanding these clearly, Mo Hua understood what the identity of the senior monk who was now serving as a "teacher" and teaching him was.
Some important courses, similar to spiritual training courses, are so important that they are taught by the elders of the inner sect personally.
The person who teaches the ink painting practice class, whose surname is Gongsun, is an Ascension Realm of the Taixu Sect and an elder of the Inner Sect!
Occasionally there is a Jindan teacher who takes over the class.
This Jindanqi teacher is a direct disciple of Elder Gongsun and a true disciple of the inner sect.
But other courses, which focus on monastic skills, are not so rigorous.
For example, the person who teaches talisman refining is an external Jindan instructor;
The one who teaches alchemy is an elder from the Ascension Realm;
Those who teach weapon refining are ordinary elders from the inner sect;
There are also those who teach gossip, history books, and even some external teachers who are not high in cultivation, but have traveled abroad all year round and are well-informed. Although they are old, they only have Jindan as an external teacher.
If you don't understand this, you have no idea who is standing in the preaching room and lecturing for you.
Even if you understand these things, sometimes you don’t even recognize them.
What Mo Hua couldn't understand the most was the "old elder" mentioned by Senior Brother Shangguan Xu.
"The person who teaches the formation is very senior, has a weird temper, and is extremely strict. He can't tolerate a grain of salt in his eyes, let alone any sloppiness among his disciples..."
This old elder is respectfully called "Mr. Xun" by his disciples.
The Taixu Sect Taoist robe worn by Mr.
He is old, his blood is weak, his breath is weak, and his cultivation is not very high.
The only impression I have is really "old".
His face is full of wrinkles and a little rickety, and his hair and beard are all white. Only his eyes are stern, showing stubbornness and severity.
More severe than strict teaching.
Mr. Xun taught ink painting formations.
When I took Mr. Xun's ink painting class, he was extremely serious at first and sat upright.
But after a few times, I became a little slack.
Because he discovered that the formation introductory course in the early stages of Taixu Sect's foundation building only taught first-grade formations...
In the early stage of foundation building, learning the first-level formation is considered quite satisfactory.
What's more, some disciples are not good at formations. If you teach them first-grade formations, which are even somewhat "super-class", they will have a hard time learning them.
But learning ink painting is very boring...
He was already familiar with these things.
Mr. Xun's voice is hoarse and serious, and he attaches great importance to the basics of formations:
"Formation, it pays attention to the basics. If the foundation is not strong, rashly learning more difficult formations is nothing more than a rootless vine without its own foundation."
"Any basic formation must be firmly memorized, drawn thousands of times, and refined over time to improve the formation attainments..."
Mo Hua thought it was right, but he had practiced these things before...
At the beginning, there were some new things in Mr.
But after all, it is only a first-class one, and the example used is also a universal five-element formation.
After Mo Hua listened to it once or twice, he understood it roughly, and after that, it was just boring repetition.
Ink painting is a bit slack.
He had nothing to do and had nothing to do. During class, he could only learn his own things.
On the surface, I am listening to the lectures, but in fact I am calculating in my mind and copying the second-grade formations. I occasionally preview the more difficult formation courses in advance to see if there is any formation knowledge that I have not learned before.
But calculations consume a lot of spiritual consciousness.
During the ink painting class that day, I was calculating and calculating. If I didn't pay attention, my spiritual consciousness would be exhausted.
Because he was in class and couldn't meditate and regain his consciousness, he felt that his consciousness was a little sleepy and his upper and lower eyelids couldn't stop fighting.
Mo Hua could only endure it forcefully.
But at this time, Mr. Xun's boring and rigid voice echoed in his ears again, hypnotically.
"Formation, pay attention to the foundation, the foundation is not strong..."
Unknowingly, Mo Hua quietly fell asleep with his little head drooped.
When he opened his eyes, he found that the room was very quiet.
Even eerily quiet.
Mo Hua looked up and found that, sure enough, Mr. Xun was standing in front of him with a serious face, obviously restraining his anger.
Mo Hua felt a little guilty.
Mr. Xun did not blame him first, but just followed the usual saying:
"Go up there and draw the formation I just mentioned."
Give him a chance.
It's okay if you can draw it, but if you can't draw it, you're in bad luck...
Mo Hua breathed a sigh of relief.
It’s easier to draw the formation...
In front of the formation room, there is a large formation plate. Mr. Xun will draw the formation on the formation plate and explain its principles at the same time.
Mo Hua respectfully walked to the array, picked up the pen, looked up, and was suddenly startled.
He was a little nervous just now and forgot to look. When he raised his head, he realized that there were four formations on the formation disk.
"Draw the formation that I just mentioned..."
What formation did Mr. Xun just talk about?
Mo Hua dozed off, how could he know...
Mo Hua held the pen, a little hesitant, and could only stand stupidly.
The disciples below were also worried for him and lowered their voices:
"Ruined……"
"He dared to doze off in Mr. Xun's class..."
"He can't draw, so he's in bad luck..."
"No, I'm getting nervous just looking at it..."
"Oops, I was distracted just now...Mr. Xun may have discovered it too, and he won't click on me next...Cheng family ancestor, please don't click on me, I can't do it either..."
…
Mo Hua was still hesitating, but at this moment, he suddenly felt a chill on his back.
Is this... Mr. Xun’s spiritual thought?
Mo Hua was startled and his heart skipped a beat.
It’s over, Mr. Xun is really angry...
"Forget it, let's keep it a secret..."
Ink Hua closed his eyes and picked the most difficult one. With a movement of his little hand, the brush strokes were three times five times divided by two, and the painting was completed...
After finishing the painting, the preaching room suddenly became quiet...
The coolness on the back of the ink painting has also faded a bit.
"You were right..."
Mo Hua breathed a sigh of relief.
Suddenly, the whispers started again, and the disciples whispered again:
"just……"
"His little hands were swiping so hard that I didn't even see him clearly..."
"Drawing so fast!"
"Why is he so skilled..."
"...But maybe he drew the wrong one, it wasn't that one..."
Mo Hua's consciousness was sharp and he could hear clearly, and he complained in his heart:
"It's not this one, but tell me which one it is!"
Mo Hua had no choice but to look at the other three formations. He felt the chill on his back getting a little heavier, and knew that Mr. Xun was getting angry again.
Don’t stop doing it!
Another random part of the ink painting was covered, and within a few strokes, it was finished again.
The mission room was quieter.
You can hear the needle drop.
Before Mo Hua could relax, another disciple whispered:
"Faster..."
"Is this the hand speed that a foundation-building monk can have..."
"Did he grow up eating formation diagrams?"
"Which family of monks are they from? The formations are drawn quickly and well. The Ming family? Or the Zheng family?..."
"Envy, it would be great if you could lend me these hands to draw formations..."
…
"But that's not what Mr. Xun said..."
Mo Hua took a breath silently.
Not yet? !
He felt helpless and started to get a little angry.
Not yet! !
Then I won’t be fooled anymore, I’ll draw them all!
With all four drawn, there must be nothing wrong!
With a wave of his small ink-painting hand, an afterimage appeared on his wrist. The brush strokes were like wind, moving like clouds, and flowing like water. In less than a moment, he had finished painting the other two formations...
This time, the preaching room was even more deathly silent.
The disciples below all opened their mouths and were speechless. They looked at Mo Hua as if they were looking at a "formation little monster" wearing human skin...
After finishing the four formations, Mo Hua put the pen aside, lowered his head, and stood aside obediently.
Mr. Xun's eyes were cloudy, and he looked at the ink paintings. He was silent for a long time, not knowing what he was thinking. Finally, he said in a stern voice, but with a hint of trembling:
"Even if you have some talent, you must not be arrogant, let alone complacent and slack..."
"This will never happen again!"
Although the tone was stern, he said, "This will not happen again."
Knowing that he had escaped disaster, Mo Hua breathed a long sigh of relief and said respectfully:
"The old gentleman teaches, disciples should remember it!"
Mr. Xun nodded slightly and said, "That's it for today's class. Please leave."
The other disciples also stood up one after another as if they had been pardoned, and saluted respectfully: "Disciple, please leave!" Then they quietly left the preaching room.
Mo Hua also blended in with the crowd and slipped away.
Mr. Xun said nothing.
It wasn't until all the disciples left that he looked at the formation plate. The ink brush quickly drew the four first-class formations that were strict and flawless.
Mr. Xun's cloudy eyes opened slightly, revealing a glimmer of light.
