Chapter 6 Spirit Stone

Mo Hua thought for a while in the room, and when Mo Shan and Liu Ruhua finished talking and changed into casual clothes, he pretended to know nothing and walked out of the room happily.

The family of three was eating. Mo Shan had already eaten, so Mo Hua pestered him to tell interesting stories about hunting monsters.

Mo Shan picked and chose to tell some, such as a one-eyed wolf, a two-headed tiger, and a three-legged wild boar.

Some teams hunted an adult monster, but did not take the monster pill, but took away some worthless fur. When they finally realized it and went back, the monster pill had been taken away by others. The captain regretted it so much that he vomited blood and fainted.

There were also people who caught a strange beast with ancient bloodline, and were directly bought by a large sect at a high price. Since then, they have no worries about food and clothing, but one day, the person disappeared completely...

Mo Hua listened with relish, and knew that there must be blood, danger and cruel things in these stories, but his father deliberately omitted them.

Parents always don't want their children to know the cruel reality and have a simple and happy childhood.

After Mo Hua heard the story, three little heads popped out of the door, looking into the house with their black eyes. Seeing Mo Shan and Liu Ruhua at home, they stood up and greeted them:

"Hello Uncle Mo, hello Aunt Liu!"

The three children were surnamed Meng and lived on the same street. Their family also made a living by hunting monsters.

The elders of the Meng family had a friendship with Mo Shan and lived close to him, so Mo Hua played with them since he was a child. The three of them had similar names. According to the order of birth, they were named Meng Dahu, Meng Shuanghu and Meng Xiaohu.

Among the monsters near Tongxian City, tiger monsters are the most powerful. Naming the children "Tiger" is also to hope that they will have the strength and prestige of tigers in the future.

The three children are indeed as their names suggest, with tiger heads and tiger brains.

Mo Hua was the youngest and was born weak and sickly. Mo Shan thought it was unlikely that he would grow up to be like a tiger. Seeing that he had delicate features and was as fair and clean as a porcelain doll, he took the character "Hua" from his wife Liu Ruhua's name and named him Mo Hua.

Liu Ruhua saw the three children and gave each of them a bun. The three children said no, but they couldn't help but reach out and stuffed the buns into their mouths, puffing their cheeks and saying, "Thank you, Aunt Niu (Liu)!"

Liu Ruhua's cooking skills were the best in this neighborhood, and the three children envied Mo Hua.

Mo Shan waved his hand, "You guys go play together, remember to come back for lunch!"

Mo Hua and the three children nodded and agreed, and ran out of the door.

Among the three children of the Meng family, Da Hu was honest, Shuang Hu was smart, and Xiao Hu was a chatterbox. The three were older and taller than Mo Hua, and they usually took Mo Hua to play.

Dahu and the other two kept talking all the way, where to dance dragon lanterns, where to set off fireworks, where there are many people, where there are dancing girls with fancy clothes...

But they talked too much and didn't know where to go.

Finally, the few people discussed and decided to go shopping for adults and children!

The end of the year is approaching, and the disciples who entered the sect to study have holidays, and the monks who make a living outside go home. Tongxian City is much more lively than usual, and the streets are also crowded.

Some physical cultivators in the Qi Refining Period show off their martial arts, wielding swords and guns, and spiritual cultivators perform some useless but fancy spells, which make the children envious and amazed;

Those who know how to refine instruments and mechanisms make some small toys, such as wooden rabbits, puppies, kittens, etc. that will run on the ground with a little spiritual power, as well as various other things, which are dazzling.

Dahu, Shuanghu and Xiaohu had a lot of fun. Everything they saw was new and exciting. Mo Hua played and watched, but at the same time, he kept an eye on the street to see if there were any ways to earn spiritual stones.

After looking around, he finally found that most of the things that can earn spiritual stones have been done by others, and those that no one has done, Mo Hua is not able to do now.

Looking at a group of cultivators who are performing and shouting hard on the street, Mo Hua sighed in his heart that making a living is indeed not an easy thing.

Seeing that Mo Hua was not very happy, Shuang Hu asked: "Mo Hua, are you worried?"

When Da Hu heard it, he immediately said: "Is someone bullying you? I'll beat him up!"

Xiao Hu also nodded repeatedly, "Beat him! Beat him!"

The elders of the Meng family have told them to take care of the frail Mo Hua since they were young, and Liu Ruhua will also leave a portion for the three children when she makes delicious food.

The three children are both grateful and loyal. Whenever someone wants to bully Mo Hua, they roll up their sleeves and rush up to fight with others without saying a word.

And Mo Hua is recognized as the smartest among the casual cultivators in the neighborhood. Sometimes when they don't understand the homework assigned by the teacher, they will come to ask Mo Hua, so the relationship between the children is very good.

Seeing them eager to fight, Mo Hua felt a little amused and said:

"No one is bullying me, I'm just wondering if I can earn some spirit stones."

Earn spirit stones...

Da Hu and the other two were also worried, they didn't know much.

They could help in fighting, but they couldn't help in earning spirit stones.

Mo Hua's heart moved, and he asked again:

"Then do you know how the formation master earns spirit stones?"

The world of cultivation is vast and boundless. Mo Hua only practices and draws formations every day. He is exposed to limited things and has no way of understanding many things. He only knows that becoming a formation master can make him worry-free, but he really doesn't know how ordinary formation masters, especially low-level apprentices, earn spirit stones.

Da Hu and the other two often play around, and they may know something that Mo Hua doesn't know.

Da Hu thought about it, shook his head and said, "The formation master's fixed-grade assessment is very difficult. There is no first-grade formation master in our neighborhood. I don't know much..."

"Don't say our neighborhood, there are not many formation masters in the entire Tongxian City, and there are even fewer who can truly pass the fixed-grade and become a first-grade formation master. A distant uncle of our Meng family studies formations every day, and he has not passed the exam for a first-grade formation master for twenty years..." Xiao Hu shook his head and said in amazement.

"You heard wrong, Uncle Meng is just an apprentice of formations. He wants to learn from a formation master, but when others ask him questions, he can't answer them, so they confiscate him."

Shuanghu curled his lips and counted on his fingers:

"Apprentice, ordinary formation master, first-grade formation master... Uncle Meng is not going to be promoted. Those who can be promoted are already well-known formation masters. He is still a long way from being promoted!"

Mo Hua asked curiously: "Then how does he make a living?"

"I heard that he helps the business draw some simple formations, then earns some spirit stones, then uses the spirit stones to buy pens and ink, and then practices formations. Then he can't be promoted, and helps the business draw formations again..."

"Business..."

"Yes, I heard that even if you can't be ranked as a first-grade array master, you can still earn a lot of spirit stones by being an ordinary array master and drawing arrays for the business, and you won't have to worry about food and drink."

Shuanghu said, and then asked Mo Hua:

"Mo Hua, do you want to be an array master?"

"Well," Mo Hua didn't hide it, "I'm too weak to be a monster hunter. If I'm hit by a monster, I'm afraid I'll lose half my life. I have to find a way to make a living. But it's too far to talk about this now. Let me see if I can earn some spirit stones first. If I can, I'll treat you to cakes!"

When Dahu and the other two heard it, they were instantly happy.

"Okay, okay!"

"You are so smart, you will definitely be able to earn spirit stones and become an array master in the future!"

"Cakes, cakes!"

Children from ordinary casual cultivator families rarely get to eat even ordinary cakes on the roadside.

The few of them walked around again. Except for the flashy little girl, they visited all the others. At almost noon, they went home to eat contentedly.

After lunch, Mo Hua told his parents that he was going out to play, and then he went to the North Street of Tongxian City alone.

The North Street of Tongxian City is prosperous, and the South Street is lively.

There are many markets on the South Street, which are mainly hawkers and stalls, while there are many shops on the North Street, which have all kinds of spiritual talismans, elixirs, and the things sold are more formal, better quality, and of course more expensive.

But Mo Hua was not here to buy things, and he didn't have the spiritual stones.

Mo Hua walked from the beginning to the end of the street, looked at all the shops, and then found a shop with a formation hanging outside the door, but the most shabby and simple storefront, and the most deserted business, and went in.
