Chapter 719 Xie Ling

"Senior brother, Brother Cheng said you could help me, so I came to ask for your help."

The disciple said very politely.

Cheng Mo on the side raised his chest and raised his head, and nodded:

"This boy's name is Xie Ling. Like me, he was born in Genzhou."

"Although Genzhou is a big place, my Cheng family and his Xie family have nothing in common, but since they came from the same state and both studied in Qianzhou, we can be considered fellow villagers. I will naturally help him if he has something to do..."

Cheng Mo patted Xie Ling's shoulder.

Xie Ling smiled gratefully.

He was much shorter than Cheng Mo. Standing next to Cheng Mo, he looked like Cheng Mo's little brother.

Mo Hua asked curiously:

"What's up?"

Xie Ling said: "I accepted several rewards to capture a sin cultivator, but that sin cultivator practiced superior fire spells and was extremely powerful. No one else could match him."

"The 'Water Armor Technique' is naturally better for defending against fire spells, but none of us have water spiritual roots, so we can't learn it."

"Even if you learn it, you may not be able to prevent it even if you just cram it for a short period of time and don't practice the magic deeply."

"Go and buy some fireproof spiritual weapons. They are either of poor quality, not of high quality, or not fire-resistant. Others are just too expensive and not worth it..."

Xie Ling felt a little worried. He looked at Mo Hua and asked in a low voice:

"Senior Brother, you..."

Mo Hua understood, took a sip of the sweet plum juice, nodded slowly and said:

"I understand, come back in three days."

Cheng Mo patted Xie Ling's shoulder again, "Thank you quickly, little senior brother."

Xie Ling looked happy and nodded hastily, "Thank you, little senior brother!"

After Xie Ling left, Mo Hua thought about it again.

Defense against fire spells...

If it is a positional attack, you can also rely on formations to drive water to extinguish fire, or use soil to prevent fire.

But Xie Ling and the others were mainly afraid of being killed by fire spells, so naturally it was best to use spiritual weapons for self-defense and avoidance of fire.

Mo Hua had an idea in his mind and discussed it with Master Gu.

Master Gu gave Mo Hua several choices:

"The blue water armor is a bit more expensive. It can protect against both powerful attacks and spells. It mainly resists burns from fire spells."

"The water armor robe is slightly lower cost and lighter. It mainly uses fire protection spells, but other defensive effects are much worse than the blue water armor."

"After all, one is in armor and the other is in cloth."

"These two are the most commonly used, and they are also the two types of spiritual armor that have been refined by our Gushan Weapon Refining Shop."

"There are also some other accessories that are lighter, more beautiful, and easier to carry, but this kind of spiritual weapon is fine for daily use, but in actual combat, it is far less effective than the self-defense effect of armor."

"And this kind of jewelry is not cheap, such as cold water jade, fire-proof pendant, fire-preventing hairpin..."

Mo Hua was startled when he heard this.

Fire hairpin.

He couldn't help but think of the time when he was at Tongxian Sect, drawing formations and collecting spiritual stones for his fellow sect members. The first gift he bought for his mother was a less than first-grade fire-preventing hairpin.

This kind of spiritual weapon cannot be used by ordinary casual cultivators.

Mo Hua sighed in his heart, then thought again:

"I don't know how my mother is doing in Tongxian City. She works hard at the dining hall on weekdays..."

"Have you practiced well, have you built a foundation..."

Mo Hua was a little distracted for a moment.

"Young Master?"

When Master Gu saw this, he shouted softly.

Mo Hua was startled, came back to his senses, and said with a smile: "I suddenly remembered something. Master Gu, please continue..."

Master Gu nodded and continued:

"It is more troublesome to refine this kind of spiritual weapon. If it is customized, the process will be more complicated and the cost will be higher. The price is estimated to be..."

"It's okay," Mo Hua said, "They have many spiritual stones."

Although Xie Ling looks like a little follower, he comes from a noble family and is definitely not short of money.

In the entire Taixu Sect, there is no one who is short of money.

Of course, except for ink paintings...

Master Gu was relieved now.

However, Mo Hua has a doubt, "The blue water armor can protect against everything, and on top of that, does it have extremely high fire resistance?"

Master Gu nodded, "The armor weapon must first be 'armor', and then consider other functions."

"This is the basic idea of ​​refining standard spiritual weapons."

“Do the general functions first, and then consider the specific effects.”

"Otherwise, if you buy a 'Blue Water Armor', it can only prevent fire but not anything else. That would be too useless."

"Spiritual weapons with such extreme effects have been refined by weapon refiners in the past, but this kind of spiritual weapon is destined to be unsuitable for the masses of monks. Very few people bought it, and the sales volume could not increase. The weapon refiner's losses were extremely serious. Gradually, There will be no more refining shops for refining weapons..."

Master Gu glanced at the ink painting and said, "Young master, what are your plans..."

"Well," Mo Hua nodded, "We will make this kind of extreme spiritual weapon."

"This process will definitely be simpler, the cost will be lower, and the refining time will be shorter."

"And this is a customized spiritual weapon. You don't need everything to be good, you just need to make one thing perfect."

Master Gu thought about it for a while, then he came up with an idea, nodded and said:

"This is best, just follow my instructions, young master."

After that, Mo Hua spent some time and designed the weapon refining array according to the formation method and some old weapon refining diagrams given by Master Gu.

The two discussed for another long time to perfect the details.

Master Gu went back to work.

Three days later, Xie Ling came to see Mo Hua again.

Mo Hua told him that everything was arranged, but the spiritual weapon would take some time to refine.

Xie Ling felt relieved after receiving Mo Hua's approval.

About eight days later, Master Gu refined five fire-proof robes according to Mo Hua's instructions, and drew formations on them through Mo Hua.

These robes have no other uses, only fire-proof.

But the effect of fire-proofing is almost perfect.

Mo Hua handed these five fire-proof robes to Xie Ling.

Xie Ling took them solemnly, and went to arrest the criminal who was good at fire magic during the ten-day break.

Two days later, the ten-day break was over.

Xie Ling came to see Mo Hua, and brought four other people with him.

Several people came to Mo Hua, saluted one after another, and said in unison:

"Thank you, little senior brother!"

Xie Ling was very excited, "We wore the fire-proof robes you gave us, and fought with the criminal. He let his fire magic burn on us, but we were not afraid at all, and only felt a slight burning pain. Compared with the previous time, it was really a world of difference..."

"In the last fight, we finally took down the evil man."

The other people were also excited.

Although they were in the same class as Mo Hua, their talents and abilities were not outstanding—at least, in Taixu Sect, compared with the other geniuses, they were not outstanding.

In fact, they were all geniuses from the major clans in Jiuzhou.

But when they gathered in Qianzhou, where geniuses gathered, these geniuses were not so "geniuses".

Although they were not lost in the crowd, they were relatively "mediocre".

They were under great pressure.

Unlike Mo Hua, who was ranked first and sixth in the imperial examination, he could be calm and composed.

These genius disciples must make progress.

They carried the expectations of their parents and the family. They had to learn everything, and they had to learn everything well. Nothing could be too bad.

There were also many cultivation courses in Taixu Sect, which took a lot of time.

In addition to the heavy schoolwork, their progress in doing bounties would be very slow.

Especially some genius disciples who were previously raised in the clan. Although they had good talents, they did not like fighting and were not used to fighting. They did not go out to do this kind of bounty very often.

For example, Xie Ling and his friends, although they have been in the sect for three years, still have little experience in arresting criminals, and their methods are very unfamiliar.

Moreover, they are facing experienced criminals with cunning minds.

It is inevitable to stumble at the beginning.

Now, with the help of the fire-proof robe, they have successfully defeated the "strong enemy", arrested the criminals, completed the task, accumulated experience, and earned merits.

Several people couldn't help but feel a little excited.

Xie Ling and his friends specially invited Mo Hua to eat chicken legs.

According to elder brother Cheng Mocheng, one of the favorite foods of the junior brother is chicken legs. If you ask the junior brother to do something, you must "offer" chicken legs.

Mo Hua ate chicken legs and chatted with Xie Ling and his friends.

As they chatted, Mo Hua suddenly asked curiously:

"Does your Genzhou Xie family also have a legacy?"

Situ Jian inherited the Lihuo sword technique, Yang Qianjun inherited the Yang family spear technique, and Cheng Mo, who was born in Genzhou like Xie Ling, inherited the Kaishan axe technique.

But Xie Ling...

Mo Hua really didn't see anything special about him...

Xie Ling nodded and said, "Genzhou is mountainous. Our Xie family in Genzhou has inherited the art of geomancy, identifying the qi of mountains and rivers, determining life and death, and passing on the secret formation of yin and yang feng shui..."

"The secret formation of yin and yang feng shui?!"

Mo Hua was shocked, "Do you know this kind of formation?"

Xie Ling said ashamedly, "I don't have a talent for formations, so I didn't learn it. I only learned some methods of identifying qi, escaping mountains, locating tombs, and suppressing evil spirits."

Mo Hua was puzzled, "Identify qi, escape mountains, locate tombs, and suppress evil spirits?"

Xie Ling said, "Identify the qi of heaven and earth, use mountains and rivers to hide, look at feng shui, determine tombs, prevent corpses from turning into corpses, and drive away ghosts. There are also more advanced ones, using death to stop life, and changing the will of heaven..."

Mo Hua's pupils trembled, and he was horrified.

To end life with death, to change the destiny...

Xie Ling scratched his head and said apologetically: "However, I am not very good at learning, I just know a little bit, and these are all family secrets, my grandfather told me not to tell..."

Mo Hua's eyes were thoughtful, and his mood fluctuated.

Seeing this, Xie Ling thought Mo Hua was unhappy, and hurriedly said:

"But little brother, if you have time, go to the border of Qiongyin Mountain in Genzhou, you can come to my Xie family as a guest. I can't decide some secrets, but if my grandfather agrees, maybe I can pass them on..."

Mo Hua looked serious and nodded deeply:

"Okay!"

Genzhou, Qiongyin Mountain Border...

Mo Hua remembered this place firmly.

...

After that, when Xie Ling offered a reward, if he didn't understand or was unsure, he would run to the dining hall of the disciples' residence during dinner, offer a chicken leg, and then ask Mo Hua for advice.

Mo Hua was very experienced in offering rewards.

Even the Fire Buddha fell into his hands, not to mention these "small shrimps" who were guilty.

Therefore, Xie Ling answered all his questions accurately.

But Mo Hua would answer any questions he asked.

With Mo Hua's guidance, and with the matching formations and spiritual tools, Xie Ling's subsequent bounties were very smooth and efficient.

Therefore, Xie Ling admired Mo Hua very much.

Although he was not very old, he knew a lot, had a good formation, was prepared for a rainy day, had no plans left, and was sincere and amiable to others.

No wonder Mr. Xun chose him as his "little senior brother".

And no matter how difficult the bounty was, as long as he was honest and meticulous in doing what the little senior brother told him to do, he would basically not fail, and the risk was much smaller.

This was not a "little senior brother", but simply an "old grandfather" who gave guidance in the sect.

After that, Xie Ling would brag about Mo Hua to everyone he met.

Therefore, not long after Mo Hua sat down in the dining hall, disciples often came over, bowed respectfully, and called politely, "Junior Brother!"

"I have a favor to ask."

"I want to buy a spiritual weapon..."

"I want to catch a criminal cultivator, but I can't catch him..."

"Please, Junior Brother, give me some advice..."

Among these disciples, some are familiar and some are unfamiliar.

Mo Hua treated them all equally and tried his best to answer them.

The spiritual weapons that were occasionally used were also varied.

There were Si Nan for reconnaissance, spiritual mirrors for breaking invisibility, armor for defending against spells, swords, fists and feet, and some weapons that broke armor, caused bleeding, and had five elements of magic damage.

For these needs, Mo Hua also designed the refining array diagram according to the array formation, and refined the finished spiritual weapon through Master Gu.

But then there was a problem.

Mo Hua was too busy.

Designing the refining array diagram was okay, after all, it was related to the array formation, and Mo Hua could learn something.

But other trivial matters, especially the sale of spiritual tools, require pricing, accounting, and delivery, which is a waste of time.

He pondered and came up with a solution.

During the ten-day break, Mo Hua found Master Gu and asked:

"Master Gu, does the Gu family have a business pavilion, market, or store in Taixu City?"

Master Gu was stunned and said in surprise:

"What the young master means is..."

Mo Hua said: "All customized spiritual tools will be sold in the store. You can figure out how much you make."

Although earning spiritual stones is a good thing, he has more important things to do now.

And he wants to use these spiritual stones to subsidize Master Gu and others.

Especially those poor refiners in Gushan Refining Shop.

It is enough for Mo Hua to promote the practical use of the formations he has learned, integrate knowledge and practice, and deepen his understanding of formations.

He himself does not want to earn many spiritual stones in this regard.

The reason why he didn't look for Wenren Wan was because Mo Hua knew that Aunt Wan had her own difficulties, so there was no need to bother her with such a small matter.

Master Gu was slightly shocked and immediately said:

"I'll go ask."

Although he was the Jindan of the Gu family, he was in charge of the weapon refining business and was not particularly familiar with the specific business.

But he also knew that this might really be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Master Gu used some connections to find out the specific situation, and then told Mo Hua:

"In Taixu City near Taixu Gate, the Gu family has few industries, only one business pavilion."

"This business pavilion is not profitable, so we sell a little bit of everything, such as elixirs, spiritual tools, and formations, and we earn a little bit."

"I have some connections in the clan, so we have discussed it and asked someone to put the customized spiritual tools in the business pavilion to sell."

"The business pavilion will take 10% of the spiritual stones earned."

Mo Hua nodded.

But in fact, he didn't understand these business matters.

Anyway, just let Master Gu handle it.

This matter is probably settled.

But even though Mo Hua didn't say it, Wen Ren Wan still knew it.

Near the border of Qianxuezhou, most of the cultivation industries that the Gu family and the Wen family cooperated on were taken care of by Wen Ren Wan.

Before, there were some refining shops and business pavilions of the Shangguan family.

But these were taken back by the Shangguan family and leased to the Shen family.

This was Shangguan Ce's decision, and Wen Ren Wan had no choice.

But apart from that, some cultivation industries of the Wen family and the Gu family were still in Wen Ren Wan's hands.

Master Gu asked about the news of the business pavilion in the Gu family, and naturally she could not hide these slight movements.

Even Master Gu was able to use his connections and get through the relationship to sell customized spiritual tools in the business pavilion, and it was Wen Ren Wan who nodded and agreed.

Wen Ren Wan agreed only for Mo Hua's sake.

Otherwise, in an immortal city like Taixu City, which is adjacent to a large sect, the spiritual stones required for simply renting a business pavilion are very expensive.

This cost may not be affordable for Master Gu.

The commission was also set by Wenren Wan.

This commission was reserved for Mo Hua.

Wenren Wan was worried that Mo Hua would be cheated when doing business with Master Gu, so she directly took 10% from the business pavilion, thinking that if the spiritual tools could not be sold and the business failed, she would at least intercept some spiritual stones for Mo Hua so that he would not suffer losses.

The matter was settled, and from then on, the customized spiritual tools were sold in the Gu family business pavilion.

Mo Hua became a hands-off shopkeeper, feeling relaxed.

As more and more of his fellow disciples "instructed" him, more and more people bought spiritual tools, and more and more Taixu disciples had friendships with him.

Mo Hua's network of contacts in Taixu Sect also became wider and wider.

From the ancestors of Taixu Sect, to the elders who teach, to the senior brothers and sisters, to the disciples of the same sect, Mo Hua has acquaintances.

Especially among the same sect, Mo Hua is quite prestigious.

When in doubt, ask the younger brothers. It has almost become a routine.

In the dining hall, there are more and more disciples who worship the "hall".

The chicken legs in the dining hall are almost sold out...

Thank you for the rewards from Xiuxian together, PYHuang, Dufengshi, Qingyun Qige, and Xiang Laodai~

There are a lot of things to do during May Day, and I may not have time to update these days.

I can only try not to take leave.

Finally, set a flag.

Pay off all the debts in May~(.)
