Chapter 599: Grand Formation?
After returning to the disciple residence and closing the door, Mo Hua could not wait to use his spiritual sense to check his Taixu Order that opened the authority to practice Taoism.
In the Taixu Order, there was a blank white, but dense handwriting emerged.
Some were practice courses, sect rules, etc.
These were originally there.
But now, like ink and wash, and pastel colors, there are two more columns of text in the empty space of the Taixu Order.
One column is the bounty, and the other is the meritorious service.
The bounty records various sect tasks.
Posting tasks, rewarding meritorious service.
It is densely packed with text, indicating the purpose of the task, the general content of the task, the location of the task, whether it is dangerous or not, the merit points rewarded, etc.
At the same time, it also lists the requirements for accepting the bounty.
For example, the realm of the cultivator, the skills, the Taoism, whether there is expertise in alchemy and formation, etc.
The merit scroll shows the various rewards that can be exchanged for the sect's merits.
There are skills, Taoist methods, formation diagrams, pill recipes, refining charts, etc., which are the secret inheritance of the Taixu Sect.
There are also rare cultivation materials such as spiritual tools, elixirs, and natural treasures.
In order to facilitate the disciples to check, some swords, spiritual tools, elixirs, and some natural treasures such as Ganoderma lucidum, spiritual herbs, hibiscus, and immortal ginseng will even be attached with a small watercolor pattern, which looks intuitive and beautiful, and very considerate.
Mo Hua guessed that this merit scroll must have been designed by a female elder in the sect.
At the same time, he was also confused.
How was this thing in the Taixu Order made?
This violated his common sense of cultivation.
He had never seen these things before.
This seems to be something that can only be touched by the foundation building, and it is not an ordinary foundation building. It must be a great inheritance like the Taixu Sect. Only disciples in the sect can have this kind of "sect order"...
But what is the principle of this kind of sect order?
"Everything in the world is Tao, all things in the universe, thousands of great ways, turn complexity into one, manifest as a formation..."
"So this is also some kind of formation?"
Mo Hua pondered for a long time, but still shook his head.
He couldn't figure out what kind of formation logic could be used to construct such a strange, but extremely wonderful meritorious talisman in a small token.
Condensing words with pen and ink to convey messages.
It can also be transformed into pictures with colorful powder and ink...
But according to Mo Hua's intuition, these should be just appearances.
This is most likely a type of formation that he has never seen or learned.
It requires an extremely special formation pattern, formation hub and formation eye to form the underlying basic formation framework.
Mo Hua frowned, and suddenly an idea came to his mind.
"How about...calculate it?"
See if he can calculate anything from the Taixu Order...
When he first entered school, Mo Hua also peeked at the Taixu Order.
But at that time, his authority was very low, his consciousness was blocked by the Taixu Order, and his vision of the formation was still shallow, so he didn't see anything.
Now he has been learning the formation with Mr. Xun for nearly half a year.
His consciousness is stronger, his attainments in the formation are deeper, and his experience in the formation is wider.
At this time, Mr. Xun gave him "authority" again...
Mo Hua's eyes lit up, and he immediately sat up straight, his consciousness sank into the Taixu Order, and looked at the changes in the various words and ink in the order.
At the same time, his mind was running at a very fast speed, and according to the method of Tianji calculation, he peeked at the true appearance under the text and pictures...
The words of the Taixu Order gradually blurred, and the colorful patterns appeared double images.
The appearance of the Taixu Order was dissipated a little bit, revealing the looming true appearance...
Indistinctly, Mo Hua glimpsed a clue.
Ink and watercolor are indeed appearances.
The essence of these words and pictures is the formation pattern.
All the words and pictures are composed of simple, unified, rigid but orderly array patterns, arranged, combined and transformed.
And these array patterns are uniformly controlled by the array hub.
All the array hubs are neat and strict, just like hundreds of rivers returning to the sea, returning to the same general, majestic array hub.
This large array hub is extremely complex and huge.
It is covered with layers of profound and dense array pattern "coats" outside, forming an unbreakable array barrier.
Mo Hua's consciousness seems small and thin in front of such an array hub.
As the sea of consciousness gradually dries up, the calculation stops here. Mo Hua's consciousness is limited and can't calculate more things...
But he was also shocked by this.
"This won't be... also a large array?!"
The large array constructed by Taixu Order!!
All the disciples of Taixu Sect, each Taixu Order is a formation "terminal", and then they are unified and connected to a large array hub of Taixu Sect branded with a "core sequence".
In this way, all Taixu Sect disciples, with the help of Taixu Order, can share "information" and transmit messages with their spiritual consciousness.
This is another completely different formation.
It is different from the Five Elements Demon-Slaying Formation and the Five Elements Mountain Protection Formation, which are external, powerful, and magnificent formations.
The Taixu Order's formation is to build a magnificent and all-encompassing sea of information and a torrent of spiritual thoughts in a small space.
Is this... also a great way between heaven and earth?
Mo Hua was shocked and opened his eyes. Then he couldn't help but think silently in his heart:
What if... I learned this formation...
I cracked the formation barrier and controlled the "core formation" of the formation...
Can I...
eavesdrop on the communications of all elders and disciples in Taixu Sect?
Can you peek into all the core secrets of Taixu Sect?
Moreover, does taking control of this great formation also mean...
Can you tamper with Taixu's "authority"?
Give yourself “power”?
Or even directly modify your own "merit value" manually?
What kind of sect's treasures, innate spiritual objects, and divine sword techniques can be exchanged for whatever you want?
The value of merit is endless, and you can’t spend it all in your lifetime? !
…
Mo Hua opened his mouth wide.
Evil little thoughts spring up one after another, constantly popping up...
Then he shook his head and said solemnly:
"no!"
"I am now a serious disciple of the Taixu Sect. I have principles. I cannot do such things that harm the interests of the sect and steal the sect's authority!"
"Greed is a taboo in Taoism!"
It's just that his little heart is still a little ready to move.
People from the Taixu Sect cannot steal, but...
Mo Hua's mind was spinning rapidly.
Since Taixu Sect is using this formation system, it means that other sects in Qianxue State are probably also using it.
By extension…
Even sects that are more powerful, have a longer heritage, and have a deeper foundation are likely to have this large array that combines communication, rewards and punishments, and promotions.
Even if it's not a big formation, it's at least a complex formation.
There are differences in scale, but the array type, framework logic, and underlying architecture must be the same.
I don't know this formation yet.
But the ready-made Taixu Order is placed in front of him. The better he learns the formations, the stronger his spiritual consciousness, and the more proficient in the calculation of heavenly secrets. Sooner or later, he will be able to calculate this entire formation system...
Mo Hua couldn't help but feel excited, and then thought about it:
"I am a disciple of Taixu Sect. I cannot do bad things to Taixu Sect..."
"But, other sects...I am not their disciple..."
"Some righteous sects don't do good things either..."
"What's more, there are still demons and heretics in this world, and the evil corpse sect..."
"If I master this formation in the future..."
Mo Hua had a smile on his face, like a little fox, and hummed in his heart:
"You sects, it's best not to offend me..."
"Otherwise, if I pick up your sect token in the future, you will be in great luck..."
…
Of course, it's still a little early.
Mo Hua put away his thoughts and started to make down-to-earth plans.
The meal must be eaten one bite at a time, and the road must be walked step by step.
Taixu ordered him to study slowly.
Now we still have to accept the bounty offered by the sect, earn merits, change formations, and enhance our spiritual consciousness.
After I have accumulated more merits and my authority has been upgraded, I will go and see if there is any true secret of Taixu Divine Mind Transformation into Swords in the higher-grade Merit Boxes.
as well as……
A formation that can "reverse life and death"...
Mo Hua's eyes were firm.
After that, Mo Hua began to take on tasks.
He remembered old Mr.
The so-called "receiving" tasks is actually a two-way street.
Both the ink painting application and the approval of others are required.
In the Taixu Order, you can use your spiritual consciousness to manifest words.
There are many tasks on the bounty list, and they are densely packed.
If you want to apply to receive a task, you can manifest it with your spiritual consciousness and leave your name under the task.
This name contains some basic information about the disciples.
Including realm cultivation level, the skills practiced, the Taoist skills he is good at, the grade of the formation alchemy talisman and so on.
It is up to the disciple to decide which messages will be displayed specifically.
After seeing these messages, the monk who sent the mission will consider the situation carefully and decide whether to agree to let you take on the mission.
A contract is reached only if both parties agree.
However, Mo Hua, who was still a "newcomer" because Mr.
Look at the mountain gate...
Others don't want him, saying that he is too young, and his height and appearance make him look "small". Others will say that Taixu Sect hires schoolchildren, which has a bad influence...
Sweep the dojo...
The ink painting was scanned once.
The sect's deacon thought he was too slow to sweep, and seeing his small arms and legs, he couldn't bear to let him sweep, so he simply stopped picking him up after that...
Refining weapons, refining elixirs, refining talismans, etc., I can't do ink painting.
Other bounties are even more unavailable.
So in the end, ink painting can only draw formations.
"Just draw the formation when you draw it..."
I originally wanted to experience ink painting for other tasks, but I had to put my mind down and draw the formation with peace of mind.
But he still thought simply.
The mission of the sect is essentially a "reward".
This kind of reward is issued by Taixu Sect, other neighboring sects, Dao Tingsi, other related forces and individual monks.
Rewards will be issued only if there is demand.
You can only draw it if others need it.
It doesn’t mean that you can draw anything yourself.
This one is nothing.
The commonly used Five Elements Formation and Bagua Formation, Mo Hua was extremely proficient in one and considered proficient in the other.
In the Taixu Order, most of the second-level first-level ones are at least some of the "rewards" for formations above the first-level level. Mo Hua is capable of doing it, and is even "more than enough"...
But he couldn't catch it at all!
The monk who offered the reward didn't choose him at all!
Because the formation bounty missions depend on the level of formations determined by Daoting.
Those competing with Mo Hua are all "second-grade elementary" and "second-grade intermediate" formation masters...
These formation masters were all senior brothers and sisters who were a few years ahead of him.
As for Mo Hua himself, he had only passed the qualification of a First-Rank Formation Master and held the title of "First-Rank Formation Master". Others didn't look at him at all.
Even if Mo Hua labeled himself "good at formations", no one would believe him.
All his skills are useless.
Mo Hua sighed helplessly.
He could only turn around and pick up some "small orders" for first-level formations...
These small orders are all for first-level formations, and almost no one takes them, because the merit points given are too small, and second-level formation masters look down on them.
Most of the first-level formation masters are just disciples who have just started, and most of them have not yet opened the authority of Taixu Order.
Therefore, there are only a very few orders of this kind, and the senior brothers and sisters who are new to the second-level formations will pick them up and use them to practice.
The title of "First-grade Formation Master" designated by the Taoist court in Mo Hua Sutra seems to be very "weighty" when used to receive the reward of First-grade Formation.
He was not polite, and his consciousness quickly scanned over. As long as there was a reward with the words "First-grade Formation", he clicked on it and left his name:
"Ink painting!"
After a while, Taixu Ling trembled slightly, as if it was a reminder.
Mo Hua's spiritual sense took a look and found that some of the reward applications were indeed accepted, while others that had "no vision" still rejected him.
Mo Hua snorted.
If you ignore me today, you won’t be able to reach me tomorrow!
If it weren't for the "Tiger Falling at Pingyang", who would accept the bounties for these first-grade formations?
Then Mo Hua scanned the "reward basket" again and applied for several first-grade formation rewards. After waiting for a while, a few agreed and a few refused.
Mo Hua counted and found that there were six first-grade formation rewards in total.
He wanted to pick up some more, but when his consciousness moved, he could not manifest the words.
After thinking about it for a while, Mo Hua roughly understood it.
This has reached the bounty limit.
A disciple can only receive up to six bounties at a time.
The ink painting is a bit of a pity.
"But six copies are okay. Let's finish the drawing first..."
Mo Hua put Taixu Ling into his storage bag, then stood up and left the disciples' residence. Based on the map of Taixu Sect in his mind, he found the location of the "Pavilion of Merit".
Taixu Ming's Merit Pavilion is the place that manages the merit system and is used to handle matters related to issuing bounties, receiving bounties, and collecting bounties in a unified manner.
The sect offers a reward, and it must be received in Taixu Order.
But when it comes to some necessary procedures and receiving rewards, you have to come to the Merit Pavilion in person.
The same goes for drawing formations.
For ink paintings, you need to go to the Merit Pavilion to receive pens, ink, paper, and basic formation diagrams.
Of course, only simple formations or formations with special needs will be provided by others.
For slightly more difficult or rare formations, the person who draws the formation will have to figure out how to draw the formation by himself.
In the Merit Pavilion, there were many disciples coming and going, busy.
Mo Hua queued for a while, and when it was his turn, he ran to the stage, showed the Taixu Order, and said:
"Elder, I accept the reward for the formation."
The meritorious elder is also an old man, with gray hair, but chubby.
He checked Mo Hua's Taixu Order. Although he looked a little confused, he still took out six storage bags and handed them to Mo Hua.
In the storage bag is the pen and ink array diagram used for the reward.
Mo Hua took the storage bag and turned around to leave.
"etc……"
The meritorious elder stared at the ink painting, but still couldn't hold it back and asked:
"How old are you?"
"fifteen!"
"Fifteen..." The meritorious elder frowned, "Then you must have just started. In less than a year, how can you use Taixu Ling to take on errands?"
Mo Hua put everything on Mr. Xun, "Mr. Xun asked me to do tasks, earn merit, and learn formations!"
The meritorious elder was startled, "Mr. Xun?"
Weird...
Isn't that old man always stubborn? Why did you start breaking the rules?
The meritorious elder stared at Mo Hua again. Seeing his small stature and six storage bags on his body, he couldn't help but ask:
"Can you finish the six formations?"
"Yes!" Mo Hua said, "I can draw formations very quickly!"
Is it fast to draw formations?
How fast can I draw if I'm a little bigger?
The meritorious elder shook his head, asked no more questions, and waved his hand, "Okay, go ahead and paint. Don't be greedy, otherwise you won't be able to complete the task, and your reputation will get worse..."
"Okay, elder."
Mo Hua agreed.
The meritorious elder watched Mo Hua leave and didn't pay much attention to it.
But an hour later, Mo Hua came back and placed six storage bags on the table.
"Elder, I've finished painting."
The meritorious elder was stunned.
Finished painting?
He unfolded the storage bag, and it was indeed filled with first-grade formations. Some used paper as matchmakers, and some used formation disks or spiritual weapon embryos as matchmakers.
Every formation is neat and rigorous, conforms to specifications, and is flawless.
"It's so fast to draw..."
The meritorious elder was a little surprised, but after thinking about it, he didn't think it was anything.
After all, it's just a first-grade formation.
The meritorious elder's consciousness flashed and he nodded, "It is indeed completed. Six first-grade formations, with a total of nineteen merit points, have been added to your Taixu Order."
Mo Hua was overjoyed, his spiritual consciousness entered too empty, and he found that there was a small number under his name:
nineteen.
This means that he has earned nineteen merit points.
"Okay, you..." The Meritorious Elder wanted to say, "You can go now", but he didn't expect Mo Hua to say immediately:
"Elder, wait a minute..."
Mo Hua sank his consciousness into the Taixu Order, raised his head after a moment, and handed the Taixu Order to the Meritorious Elder, "I've accepted a few more..."
The Meritorious Elder's eyelids twitched slightly.
This kid doesn't follow the rules...
Where do you accept tasks like this?
And you are so young, accepting so many formations, aren't you afraid of over-consumption of consciousness...
The Meritorious Elder hesitated for a moment, and seeing that Mo Hua was energetic and didn't look tired, he didn't say anything, and handed a few more storage bags to Mo Hua.
Mo Hua left happily.
The Meritorious Elder watched him leave, and silently remembered his name on the Taixu Order in his heart.
...
In the days that followed, Mo Hua continued to draw formations.
But the merit value of the first-grade formation is too low, most of them are only about three or four points, and it takes too long to accumulate.
And the fifteen-pattern and sixteen-pattern formations he wanted to exchange for required hundreds of merits for each one.
Fortunately, Mo Hua painted quickly, and the progress was good at the beginning.
But gradually, his plan to accumulate merits was stuck again.
One reason was that he had to take the Taoism class, so it was impossible for him to paint every day.
Even if he painted, it would take at most an hour.
He also had to practice the fifteen-pattern Yuze formation to enhance his spiritual awareness, so he didn't have much time.
Another reason was that the rewards for the first-grade formations in the Taixu Order were getting fewer and fewer.
The disciples of the Taixu Sect were all at the foundation building stage or above, and the demand for the first-grade formations was not much.
Mo Hua painted very quickly, five or six sets at a time, and he received a lot, so soon, the rewards for the first-grade formations were almost all accepted by him.
The remaining ones were scattered, maybe one or two rewards a day.
Mo Hua might not be able to receive them.
In total, he earned two or three merits a day.
Like a turtle crawling.
Even if you save for a year, you may not be able to change a set of fifteen-pattern formations.
Mo Hua sighed, frowned and thought:
"No, this is too slow. I have to think of a way, find some other tasks to do, quickly save merits, and change formations..."
"But what to do..."
Mo Hua had no idea for a moment, so he sank his consciousness into the Taixu Order, looked through the "Reward Scroll", studied for many days, and finally found a reliable method.
He was at a low level and had little experience, so he couldn't accept the reward.
However, he could "mix" the reward!
Some rewards cannot be completed by one person. After a leading disciple takes it, three or four more disciples will be formed to complete it together.
After completion, the merit points are distributed according to contribution.
There will be some disparity, but not much.
Mo Hua looked at some difficult tasks, and the rewards were hundreds of points. If he "mixed" in, he could at least get dozens of merits.
It is equivalent to drawing a first-grade formation for a month.
Mo Hua's eyes lit up, and he did what he said.
The bounty scroll of Taixu Order will have some recruitment information attached.
It means that someone has accepted the bounty and needs to recruit people to complete it together.
Mo Hua flipped over and over, searching for a long time, his consciousness was numb, and finally found a task that suited him and could "get along" in a recruitment message:
"On the ninth day of the fifth month, the second-grade point Cangzhou boundary, hunt down the criminal..."
"This criminal is proficient in formations and good at setting up formations, and is not easy to deal with."
"You need to ask a fellow formation master for assistance, the second-grade beginner is better, if the formation is superb and has the ability to protect itself, the first-grade can also be..."
"After the task is completed, merits will be distributed according to the contribution, starting at 100 points..."
...
Mo Hua looked at it carefully again.
"Has the ability to protect itself", "the first-grade can also be"...
Isn't this talking about himself?
And it starts at 100 points of merit!
Mo Hua was delighted, so he left his name neatly on the recruitment form:
"Mo Hua."
Then he thought for a moment and added:
"Can hide, have the ability to protect himself..."
"Very good at formations!"
