Chapter 660: Cultivating the Sword (Thank You to the Leader of the Immortal Cultivation Team)

Chapter 660: Cultivating the Sword (Thanks to the leader of the immortal cultivation master~)

After the "merit" permission was opened, the disciples were obviously busy.

They were born in aristocratic families and may not lack spiritual stones and other cultivation resources, but some rare inheritances, reputation within the sect, and even the quota of the inner sect, all need to be strived for.

This is also a kind of invisible competition.

Whoever has more merits means that he has made the greatest contribution to the sect. The more recognized he is by the elders of the sect, the more he has the right to speak among the disciples.

Everyone is a child of destiny. Even if they are polite on the surface and pay attention to the friendship of fellow disciples, no one will really obey anyone in their hearts.

Earning merits involves not only their own interests, but also the face among fellow disciples.

At their age, face may be more important than "interests".

So the disciples of the same sect were in full swing. Whenever they were free, they would accept various "bounties", complete tasks, and earn merits.

This made Mo Hua a little at a loss for a while.

Originally, at noon, after he had his meal, he could still digest his food on the grass, bask in the sun and chat with his fellow disciples.

But now that the "merit" was opened, everyone ran away.

Cheng Mo went to watch the gate.

Situ Jian went to sweep the streets.

Zheng Fang was busy taking the task of the formation...

Others also tried to earn merit.

On the contrary, Mo Hua was alone, lonely, as if nothing had happened.

Only little Yu'er accompanied him to bask in the sun, and occasionally rolled happily on the grass.

Back to Shangguan's house, Yu'er was required to behave politely, sit and lie down, and have the manners of a disciple from a big family, which was very restrained.

When he arrived at the sect, no one disciplined him, so he became much more lively.

Even if he rolled on the grass, no one would blame him, and Mo Hua would smile at him, and Yu'er was very happy.

Seeing Yu'er so happy, Mo Hua was relieved.

As for the merit, it was not that he was not anxious.

It was that he no longer cared about these "entry" tasks.

Of course, some entry-level tasks are still not worth his while.

For example, guarding the gate, sweeping the streets, etc.

Even if Mo Hua really wanted to experience it, others would not let him take it because he was too weak.

And he still has more than a thousand merits now.

They are what he has accumulated over such a long time by catching criminals and drawing formations, and what is left after buying a lot of formations.

In addition, there should be another merit from the matter of Fire Buddha.

It’s just that the Daoting Division has always been cumbersome and slow in doing things. It’s not known when it will be issued.

But in any case, more than a thousand merits is also a "huge sum of money".

And it’s unknown how long it will take for other fellow disciples to accumulate so many merits through these entry-level tasks.

Mo Hua suddenly felt as if he had already graduated, and then watched his fellow disciples still "failed the exam and took the make-up exam"...

But more than a thousand merits will definitely not be enough for him in the future.

Especially since he still has to learn formations.

If rare formations are really expensive, they will be a bottomless pit.

He was only in the early stage of foundation building. Because he followed his senior brothers and sisters and did missions with Daoting Division, he could earn merits to learn the second-grade intermediate formation, which was barely enough.

But in the future, learning the second-grade high-level formation might not be enough to cover the expenses.

And what if there was a unique formation in Taixu Sect?

How many merits would the unique formation require?

Mo Hua didn't dare to think about it.

So he had to plan ahead, make plans early, and accumulate more merits.

Merits are always the more the better.

During the ten-day break, Mo Hua still went to find Senior Sister Murong, wanting to continue to do missions with him, but Murong Caiyun looked apologetic.

"Junior brother, this year, we may not have time to go out to do missions..."

Mo Hua was stunned.

Murong Caiyun explained: "We, the disciples in the middle stage of foundation building, are going to the Demon Refining Mountain."

"The Demon Refining Mountain!"

Mo Hua's eyes lit up.

He remembered that Situ Jian seemed to have told him before.

There is a "Demon Refining Mountain" in the territory of Qianxuezhou.

There are many monsters in the mountain, some of which are rare species specially captured by powerful cultivators and placed in the mountain.

The purpose is to let the disciples of the sect experience actual combat, hone their Taoism, and cooperate to kill monsters...

"Are there many monsters in it?"

"Yes." Murong Caiyun said, "The Demon Refining Mountain is very large, with complex terrain, and there are many monsters in it. There are many rare materials on the monsters that can be used to refine spiritual tools."

"Is this Demon Refining Mountain our Taixu Sect?" Mo Hua asked in confusion.

Murong Caiyun laughed and said, "No, although our Taixu Sect is powerful, we are not yet able to control the entire Demon Refining Mountain..."

"In name, Demon Refining Mountain belongs to the entire Qianxuezhou, and is supervised by the four major sects, eight major sects, and twelve schools."

"Disciples from all sects can go into the mountain to hunt demons."

"You can skin and bone the monsters you hunt to obtain materials for refining weapons, or you can sell them to the sect in exchange for merits..."

"Of course, it's best if you use them yourself."

"Some sword cultivators of special schools can only obtain the materials needed to refine their own spiritual swords by hunting specific monsters in Demon Refining Mountain, such as bones, claws, blood essence, or inner elixir..."

"Some extremely rare monster materials can be sold to the sect in exchange for considerable merits..."

"Therefore, when they reach the middle stage of foundation building, the source of merits for most disciples of the sect is the monsters in Demon Refining Mountain..."

Mo Hua's eyes sparkled.

Hunting monsters!

Merits!

He felt that his demon hunter bloodline was about to stir.

Murong Caiyun seemed to see through his thoughts and sighed.

She had been with Mo Hua for so long, but she still couldn't tell what his junior brother was thinking.

Although sometimes, the ink paintings are profound and unfathomable.

But sometimes, his heart is very simple, and his little thoughts are written on his face.

"You can't go." Murong Caiyun said.

Mo Hua was startled, "Why..."

Murong Caiyun counted them to him one by one:

"First, you are in the early stages of foundation building and your cultivation level is not enough; second, you are in your second year of entry and do not have enough years; third, you need a door talisman to enter Demon Refining Mountain. You are not qualified for this door talisman, so buy it. Less than…”

Mo Hua whispered:

"Can I sneak in?"

Murong Caiyun glared at him slightly, "It's sealed with a formation, how could you sneak in?"

Mo Hua's eyes lit up, "What level of formation is it?"

Murong Caiyun shook his head, "I don't know about this, but there should be at least a fifth-grade formation."

"Fifth grade..."

The ink painting is a bit of a pity.

The level of the fifth-grade formation is too high, and I can't do anything about it. Otherwise, I might be able to secretly open the door and sneak in to take a look.

But he was also curious about what the fifth-grade formation looked like.

"In short," Murong Caiyun warned, "don't think about the matter of Demon Refining Mountain..."

"As for the tasks, if you have any trouble, just tell me and I will definitely help you when I have time."

Mo Hua was moved and nodded:

"Don't worry, senior sister, you go about your business first and don't worry about me!"

After separating from Murong Caiyun, Mo Hua walked toward the disciple's residence alone.

As he walked, he thought about it in his mind.

"Senior Sister Murong is going to the Demon Refining Mountain..."

"Then Senior Brother Shangguan, Senior Brother Feng, and Senior Sister Qianqian, they should also enter the mountain..."

"After all, Demon Refining Mountain is the main source of merit for disciples in the middle stage of foundation building."

In this way, no one will take me to play...

Although I am a little more familiar with Daotingsi now.

But Daotingsi is Daotingsi after all, not a sect. It is very complicated and the water is very muddy. The credit earned may not be converted into the sect's "merits".

Even if it can be transferred, the process is cumbersome and lengthy.

"Then... invite more people to play together?"

Who to pull?

Cheng Mo, Situ Jian and the others?

Mo Hua shook his head slightly.

Their cultivation is in the early stages of foundation building.

I used to play with my senior brothers and sisters who were in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment, Daotingsi Executive Secretary who was in the late Foundation Establishment stage, and Uncle Gu, who was in the Golden Core Stage of Gu Diansi.

That’s it if you don’t upgrade, how can you still downgrade?

But after thinking about it, it seems that there is no one else.

Mo Hua thought about it for a long time and sighed.

"Let's talk about it later..."

Do your own thing well first.

After returning to his disciple's residence, Mo Hua meditated in his room, closing his eyes and practicing.

When the sea of ​​qi is full and the meridians are slightly swollen, then he opens his eyes.

"Practice!"

From now on, you should spend more time on practice every day.

Although cultivation is a matter of time and effort, it is important to practice continuously and everything will come naturally. However, if you work harder every day and practice more diligently, the speed will naturally be faster.

Mo Hua thought about it.

The second year in the sect was actually very boring.

His realm of spiritual consciousness was blocked by his cultivation.

The bottleneck between the sixteenth and seventeenth lines is the bottleneck of spiritual consciousness from the middle stage of foundation building to the late stage of foundation building.

This bottleneck is like a chasm.

Even though Mo Hua was drawing formations every day and honing his spiritual consciousness, he would occasionally protect Xiao Yu'er from nightmares and earn some "extra money" by the way.

But after all, his spiritual consciousness is too much beyond the level.

In a short period of time, it will be difficult to break through this obstacle.

The consciousness is stuck, and the level of the ink painting formation cannot be improved further.

He can only broaden the foundation of formations and continue to learn other formations within the second grade and sixteen lines...

It's just that this type of formation is not challenging after all, and it gets a bit boring after learning too much...

Mo Hua sighed.

He wants to learn higher level formations.

Especially the Yuan Magnetic Formation, the construction of deeper magnetic patterns and the application of secondary thunder patterns, Mo Hua has been eyeing for a long time.

But without a breakthrough in spiritual consciousness, he wouldn't be able to learn it now.

Mo Hua was a little helpless.

…

In the next month, because Senior Sister Murong and the others entered the Demon Refining Mountain, Mo Hua rarely went out to do tasks.

He alone could not receive the "bounty" above the middle stage of foundation building.

In the early stages of foundation building, the rewards and achievements were too few.

It's a waste of time for him to do it alone.

It's better to draw more second-grade formations yourself, so you don't have to run around and earn more merit.

Ink painting feels even more boring.

You can't go out to do bounties.

The cultivation level is gradually increasing bit by bit, but it cannot break through the realm.

His spiritual consciousness also gradually strengthened little by little, but he could not break through the realm either.

Yu'er occasionally encounters nightmares at night, with demons harassing her, but there are no sheep bones to follow.

As for magic, I have pretty much learned what I need to learn.

The structure of the small meteorite technique is already very stable.

He also learned a lot of other second-grade functional formations...

In a short period of time, there is nothing to pursue...

Life is as plain as water, without surprise or joy.

Mo Hua suddenly felt that he should take the initiative to find something more to learn...

He thought for a moment and picked up the "Breaking Gold Sword Control Technique" again, wanting to practice his sword energy.

When it comes to refining sword energy, my foundation in ink painting is too poor.

The other sword-cultivating disciples in the sect have their own family heritage, and they have been influenced by their family traditions and have been practicing sword moves and practicing sword energy since they were young.

Then, with each higher level of cultivation, the sword energy becomes more powerful.

In the later stage of cultivation, the human sword becomes one, and the sword energy reaches the sky and the earth.

Mo Hua was a casual cultivator and had never touched a sword before establishing the foundation.

The only time he encountered a sword was when Zhang Lan was teaching the Water Step, and in order to demonstrate the formation, he asked Mo Hua to stab him with the sword.

That luxurious and heavy sword has not yet been picked up by Mo Hua...

In the end, I could only replace it with a branch.

Therefore, if you really want to practice swordsmanship, you have no foundation at all in ink painting, let alone compete with other swordsmanship practitioners...

But idleness is also idleness, people always have something to pursue.

Mo Hua regarded practicing swordsmanship as his way of "intelligence and entertainment".

Even if you can't cultivate it, it's still a good thing to know yourself and your enemy and restrain your sword cultivation.

This sword technique can break the Golden Gate.

It was not easy to practice ink painting in public, so I found a secluded grove, bought a second-hand Broken Spirit Sword, and practiced by myself.

The Broken Metal Sword Technique is a metal-based sword technique.

Ink painting is a small five element spiritual root, and also contains a part of the golden spiritual root.

You can practice it.

After just practicing for a while, Mo Hua discovered a problem.

Sword energy seems to be condensed on its own, and it is indeed very difficult.

The sword cultivators he has met include Uncle Zhang Lan, Senior Brother Ouyang Feng, Senior Brother Shangguan Xu, and Situ Jian, who is in the same class as him.

When they use their swords, the sword energy they inspire is stable in shape, sharp in sword energy, and powerful.

But the sword energy I cultivated...

There are some ink paintings that are difficult to evaluate...

The condensed sword energy, first of all, the shape of the sword is not fixed. Let's call it a "sword", it is similar to a "stick", and sometimes it looks like a "twig"...

The sword energy is not sharp either, and sometimes it cannot even cut the bark of a tree...

Not to mention the power.

He throws a fireball casually, and its lethality is higher than this "sword energy"...

Mo Hua fell into deep confusion.

"Is my talent for practicing swordsmanship... really that bad?"

"That's not the case..."

"Or is it that everything is difficult at the beginning, and I just haven't gotten started yet?"

Mo Hua couldn't figure it out, so he simply stopped thinking about it.

There's nothing else to practice anyway, so let's just practice and have fun...

Whatever you practice is what you will do, no need to put pressure on yourself.

If you really can't cultivate it, just think of it as a precaution, lay the foundation of sword cultivation, and prepare for the "Taixu Divine Mind Transformation Sword True Technique" in the future.

"Shen Nian Sword True Art", as the name suggests, should be different from ordinary sword techniques.

If you can't practice ordinary swordsmanship, you may not be able to practice "spiritual sword".

Mo Hua sighed.

I can only comfort myself like this...

Later, after tea and dinner, when Mo Hua has free time, he will find a small forest and practice his skills with a few swords.

There were sword auras, but the trees remained motionless, with only the leaves falling.

Fortunately, Mo Hua is not discouraged.

Just think that you are "pruning" the sect's trees.

…

Just like that, another period of time passed.

One day when Mo Hua returned to his disciples' residence, he met several disciples on the road, talking to each other.

Mo Hua took a closer look and found that it was Cheng Mo, Situ Jian, and three other disciples he was not familiar with.

Mo Hua walked in quietly and heard them saying intermittently:

"The day after tomorrow...Xun's break..."

"Outside Qingzhou City..."

"Pretending to be senior brother... I finally got it..."

"not dangerous……"

"It's okay...the five of us are enough..."

"Just arresting someone..."

"It's within reach..."

"……ah!!"

Before Cheng Mo finished speaking, he suddenly noticed someone standing behind him. He was startled and his face turned pale. When he realized it was Mo Hua, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Mo Hua, you scared me..."

Then he complained: "Why are you eavesdropping on us?"

Mo Hua was speechless, "This is an upright road. I walked uprightly, stopped uprightly, and listened to you all..."

"How can you blame me for your lack of vigilance?"

Cheng Mo was speechless, then muttered:

"Who knew you walked like a cat? Not only do you have no sound, you don't even have breath..."

Mo Hua looked at them suspiciously, "What bad idea are you... thinking of?"

Cheng Mo seemed to be a student who had been "taught" and caught him in the wrong place. He immediately became nervous, "Let's talk about...cultivation..."

Mo Hua looked unbelieving.

Cheng Mo said: "Really!"

After saying this, he felt something was wrong.

Mo Hua is not an elder, nor is he a teacher. He is just a "little senior brother" who teaches them formations and they dare not offend. Why is he so nervous?

Cheng Mo stood up straight immediately.

Mo Hua whispered: "You want to secretly accept Dao Tingsi's reward?"

Cheng Mo was startled, "How do you know?"

Mo Hua curled his lips.

It's all leftover from my own fun, and it's all mysterious...

Situ Jian lowered his voice and said, "Mo Hua, don't tell anyone..."

Cheng Mo also nodded repeatedly. After thinking about it, he felt that there was no sincerity in this. Normally, a "bribe" would be required in this kind of situation.

Cheng Mo then said: "Mo Hua, you promise not to tell anyone. After the matter is completed, we..."

Cheng Mo hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth, "...I'll give you some merit!"

Mo Hua was curious, "How much?"

Cheng Mo was entangled.

They had just completed these tasks, and they couldn't earn much merit, and they wouldn't be able to use it if they did.

"Give..." Cheng Mo made up his mind, "Give you ten points!"

Mo Hua: "..."

Seeing that Mo Hua didn't say anything, Cheng Mo was a little shocked and said:

"You don't think it's too little, do you?"

"Ten points... It's not much..." Mo Hua said.

Cheng Mo said with great sorrow:

"You really don't know how expensive firewood and rice are. Do you know how many days I have to watch the gate and sweep the streets for these ten points of merit?!"

"Do you think this little merit is easy to earn?"

"Okay, okay..." Mo Hua said helplessly, "I won't tell anyone, and I don't want your merits, but it's very dangerous to go out, you should be careful..."

Cheng Mo was stunned, and then he immediately smiled, put his arm around Mo Hua's shoulders and said:

"You are worthy of being my good brother! If you have any problems in the future, I will protect you!"

Situ Jian also looked at Mo Hua gratefully.

But seeing Cheng Mo's smug look, one of his disciples couldn't help but say:

"Don't flatter yourself. How can you protect Mo Hua?"

Cheng Mo said: "What do you know?"

"Why don't I understand?"

"It takes three to make a good man..."

"You are a good man? At most, you are a bad man..."

...

Mo Hua saw them arguing and didn't bother to pay attention. He just told them:

"Be careful when you go out..."

"Some criminals are very cunning..."

Then Mo Hua left.

Mo Hua was not worried.

Although Cheng Mo and his five companions were disciples in the early stage of foundation building, they were all from aristocratic families. They had a deep foundation in their own cultivation and their Taoism was not weak.

The five people joined forces. Even if they encountered a general mid-stage foundation building, even if they couldn't win, they would be able to escape.

What's more, the one they caught this time should be a criminal in the early stage of foundation building, so it shouldn't be a big problem.

A few days later, Mo Hua saw clearly that Cheng Mo and his companions had indeed secretly left the sect during the ten-day break.

Within two days, they returned with great pride.

Mo Hua knew without thinking that their mission had been successfully completed.

Especially Cheng Mo, who seemed to have made a great contribution in this mission, and was very proud of himself.

Taixu Sect did not allow their disciples to take on the task of arresting criminals.

First, most criminals were vicious.

The disciples in the sect had been pampered since childhood and were arrogant. If they suddenly fought with criminals, they would be easily ambushed and fell.

Cheng Mo and his companions were quite strong and had good luck.

Because they took the mission secretly, they were the first group of disciples to successfully complete the wanted "bounty" except Mo Hua.

This kind of thing was naturally the most eye-catching.

The elders did not know, or they just turned a blind eye.

But the news gradually spread among the disciples.

Many disciples also began to think about going out.

After all, the entry-level tasks are too slow to accumulate merits, and they are boring and tedious. They are far less exciting and rewarding than this kind of wanted "bounty".

Some disciples secretly asked Cheng Mo how to accept tasks, what to pay attention to when going out, what elixirs to prepare, etc.

Cheng Mo was even more proud.

But he didn't forget Mo Hua.

One day during dinner, Cheng Mo secretly found Mo Hua, "Next time I do a task, I will take you..."

Mo Hua was stunned, "You take me?"

"Yes!" Cheng Mo said, "There are four of us, plus you, you don't have to do anything, just run errands and do miscellaneous things, and then the merits will be distributed to you..."

Mo Hua felt complicated and a little touched.

But he still shook his head.

He didn't need Cheng Mo to take him.

Besides, he didn't care about the little merits he got...

Cheng Mo thought Mo Hua didn't trust him, and said solemnly:

"In terms of formation, I admit that you are the big brother! But if you really want to go out to offer rewards and arrest criminals, your little arms and legs won't work. You have to recognize me as your big brother!"

Mo Hua had no expression, "Oh..."

Thank you to the leader of the immortal cultivation big brother~

And the leader and other rewards, I will thank them one by one later~

Currently I owe the leader 4 chapters in total~

(.)

Wait until I have sorted out the detailed outline, I will return it chapter by chapter~
