Chapter 720: Array System
Mo Hua is "instructing" more and more fellow disciples.
He is refining more and more customized spiritual weapons.
He is also accumulating more and more weapon refining arrays.
Mo Hua thought about it and simply put these arrays together, gradually forming a system of customized spiritual weapons.
This system of spiritual weapons is very comprehensive.
It includes functions such as reconnaissance, surveillance, and early warning to anticipate the enemy's moves;
It includes arrays such as quicksand, earth prison, golden locks, and wooden binding to trap the enemy;
It includes armor for sword slashing, spear blade stabbing, fist and foot strikes, and other physical defense;
It also includes Taoist robes for magic defense such as fire, water, wood, and poison...
There are only a few attacking spiritual weapons.
Because the offensive spiritual weapons used by the children of the aristocratic families are mostly inherited spiritual weapons from their ancestors.
The power of the customized weapons made by Mo Hua is definitely not as powerful as these inherited spiritual weapons.
Most of the spiritual weapons he customized are of specific functions.
For example, armor-breaking blades are used to break the enemy's hard armor.
Or fire swords, water swords, gold swords, etc., are used to supplement the means of attribute attack for disciples who lack spiritual root attributes.
But the children of the aristocratic family still pay attention to "one force to break all methods".
With the best spiritual roots and deep foundations, they practice superior skills and Taoism, rely on their strength to suppress the enemy with strength.
They don't pay much attention to small tricks such as attribute generation and restraint.
Therefore, they don't use this kind of attack spiritual weapon very much, and Mo Hua doesn't design many.
But despite this, this set of customized spiritual weapons has taken shape.
The formation and spiritual weapon system already has a basic framework and prototype.
It integrates early warning, trapping enemies, attacking and defending.
In the future, as long as the spiritual weapon and formation are continuously improved, iterated, supplemented and improved, this system will shine.
However, after careful consideration, Mo Hua found that this system seemed to be missing a piece:
Spiritual power amplification.
In other words, it is...
"Five Elements Source Formation!"
Mo Hua's eyes lit up slightly, and then he frowned.
The Five Elements Source Formation was the sect-defining formation of the Five Elements Sect in the past. It can strengthen the five elements and increase spiritual power.
This is a very powerful formation, but Mo Hua has only used it a few times since he arrived at Qianxuezhou.
One reason is that he can't use it.
At first, he followed his senior brothers and sisters.
The senior brothers and sisters have deep cultivation and strong strength.
The enemies they can beat don't need the Five Elements Source Formation to increase their strength.
Only the time when they captured the vulture, with the increase of the Five Elements Gold Source Formation, Senior Sister Murong killed the vulture with a superior Taoist method that condensed five-colored rays of light.
But it was only this time.
And if you can't beat an enemy, it's best not to fight him at all.
A gentleman doesn't stand under a dangerous wall. Unless it's absolutely necessary, there's no need to take risks and fight a strong enemy to the death.
Through the five elements source array to increase spiritual power, to compete for the superiority, to fight life and death, life and death is only a thin line, if you are not careful, you will die.
So don't fight if you can.
Second, the five elements source array is very demanding to use.
The cultivator must stand in the array to be strengthened by the five elements source array. Once out of the array range, the spiritual power will not be increased.
This is equivalent to a living target.
Especially for spiritual cultivators, high attack and low defense, relying on spells to eat, in the battle of life and death, they are especially afraid of physical cultivators getting close.
Under the amplification of the five elements source array, although the power of spells has increased, its actions are also more restricted, and it really becomes a fixed "glass cannon".
It can be said that there are advantages and disadvantages.
But the advantages are greater, and the disadvantages are greater.
For physical cultivators, the five elements source array also seems a bit useless.
The five elements source array strengthens the five elements and increases spiritual power.
Physical cultivators rely on their strong blood and powerful strength to kill at close range, but they also have spiritual root attributes, and blood itself is transformed from spiritual power through the meridians.
So although physical cultivators are not good at magic, they can also be amplified by the Five Elements Source Array.
However, because of the transformation of spiritual power to blood, the effect of physical cultivators being amplified by the Five Elements is far less than that of spiritual cultivators who directly use magic.
The biggest problem of physical cultivators is also limited movement.
In close combat, advance and retreat must be flexible, and they rely more on body skills.
In real combat, they will fight quickly and rush each other, and it is even more impossible to stay in the range of the Five Elements Source Array and be bound by their hands and feet.
Otherwise, they will not only be targets, but also look like fools.
So the Five Elements Source Array looks very strong, but the actual conditions for use are harsh and will be constrained by various factors.
Unless...
Mo Hua pondered for a moment.
The Five Elements Source Array is engraved in spiritual tools such as armor and Taoist robes.
Wear it with you, it is convenient to move and unrestricted.
This is the best solution.
It’s just that there was no condition before, and Mo Hua couldn’t find anyone to refine this special armor or robe.
He was busy practicing formations and going out to do bounties, so he didn’t have time to think about this.
And now...
Mo Hua thought about it carefully.
He was "confined" to the sect, and happened to be researching custom spiritual tools, and there was a third-grade refiner Master Gu to help.
The right time, the right place, and the right people.
He could take this opportunity to study the practical application of the Five Elements Source Formation.
If the research is done well, this sect-suppressing formation that made the Five Elements Sect famous in the past, but is now on the verge of extinction, can be regarded as "re-emerging"!
And this formation can just make up for the last link in the formation and spiritual tool system he built:
Spiritual power amplification!
Mo Hua's eyes lit up and his thoughts gradually became clear.
Monastic industry integration.
The combination of weapon refining and formation techniques was finally applied to monks.
Build a complete array auxiliary system that integrates detection, enemy trapping, attack, defense, and amplification!
This system will first be used on sect disciples to earn some spiritual stones.
Then with the support of spiritual stones, we continued to improve.
One day, when this set of formations and weapon refining processes mature and my own experience becomes rich, I can generalize and try to decentralize it to the lower-level cultivation circles for the development of various relatively economical and cheap products for monastic production. Spiritual weapons, as well as supporting formations that are simple and easy to learn.
From monk killing to monastic production.
From customized to standard.
From expensive to cheap.
This is gradually spreading...
"Understand the way of heaven and benefit all living beings."
A true formation should not only serve a few people, but should truly benefit everyone in the world.
Mo Hua was startled, and his mind suddenly dawned, and his understanding of the formation of heaven and earth became more and more profound...
After that, Mo Hua couldn't wait to start researching armored Taoist robes suitable for the "Five Elements Source Array".
But this kind of armor is very special.
The inheritance of the Five Elements Absolute Formation is on the verge of extinction, and there are almost no records of matching spiritual weapons or formation matchmakers left.
Even if there were, the ink painting would be impossible to find.
He could only explore a little bit by himself and then discuss it with Master Gu.
This also takes a while.
About a month later, Master Gu personally came to Taixu Sect, chatted with Mo Hua, and then drew up a prototype of a set of armor.
Master Gu plans to go back and practice first.
He wasn't sure what the effect would be. After all, Mo Hua's requirements were very strange and he had never refined a similar spiritual weapon.
But Master Gu didn't ask any more questions.
After all, the formation issues were too complex and obscure for him to understand. He only needed to be responsible for the issues at the weapon refining level.
After the discussion, Master Gu left Taixu Gate and then went to the Shang Pavilion in the city.
The customized spiritual weapon was sold, and he wanted to get the spiritual stone.
This month, the spiritual weapons were sold very well, which was a large sum of spiritual stones.
In Taixu City, in the Gu Family Shang Pavilion.
When the manager of Shangge handed over the storage bag full of spiritual stones to Master Gu, he couldn't help but click his tongue in surprise.
"In the Taixu Sect, I don't know where there are so many swindlers who are willing to spend so many spiritual stones to buy these weird spiritual weapons of yours."
He and Master Gu usually have a good relationship, so they talk more casually.
Master Gu smiled and said, "You don't understand this..."
The doorway here is complicated...
Weapon refining techniques, process optimization, formation diagram design, formation characterization, as well as the demand and sales of spiritual weapons.
It looks simple on the surface, but Master Gu also knows that even though he is a third-grade weapon refiner, what he can do is actually very limited.
Most of the credit goes to Young Master Mo.
Master Gu also couldn't figure out where Mr. Mo got so many connections in the sect.
He shook his head, looked at the steward, and said with a smile:
"I'll treat you to a drink at noon."
The manager did not refuse anyone who came, and said with a smile: "Okay, then I will also take advantage of it."
At noon, the two of them ate spiritual food and drank fine wine in Taixu City.
The Shangge affairs will have to be entrusted to the trustee in the future, so Master Gu is very generous.
The manager is also very happy.
Coupled with the drunkenness, the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves.
After drinking, the two of them went home.
Master Gu has to return to Gushan City to continue making the next batch of spiritual weapons.
On the carriage heading to Gushan City, Master Gu touched several heavy storage bags around his waist. Although he felt emotional, he was still a little unbelievable.
Five hundred thousand spirit stones!
Small spiritual weapons are cheaper, while large spiritual weapons are more expensive. The average price of spiritual weapons is about 5,000 spiritual stones. Within a month, nearly a hundred pieces were sold.
After deducting the cost, this is also a very considerable income.
And, this is just the beginning.
Master Gu's disciple Dachuan also looked shocked.
He has grown up and lived a hard life every day, but he has never seen so many spiritual stones.
Master Gu thought for a while and then ordered: "Stop when passing by the next fairy city, go into the city to buy some wine and meat, and take it back to reward everyone."
Dachuan was very happy and quickly smiled and said:
"Yes, Master!"
The life of the Gushan Weapon Refining Shop has always been hard, and it has been a long time since everyone has been able to drink heavily or eat meat.
Then he couldn't help but sigh: "Master, how can I spend these spiritual stones? I feel like I can't spend them all..."
Master Gu laughed.
This silly boy is used to being poor. Since he was born, he only knows what it is like to be poor and has no idea what he can do with too many spiritual stones.
Even if you ask him to think about it, he can't think of it.
Then Master Gu changed his mind and felt a little sad.
Five hundred thousand spirit stones...
a lot of.
These spiritual stones are enough for the refining shop to buy a good refining furnace, purchase a lot of high-grade refining materials, and buy some rare refining maps.
The remaining spirit stones can still allow everyone to live a life without worrying about food and drink for a while.
This amount of spiritual stone can be said to be very rich.
but……
Master Gu sighed in his heart.
But these spirit stones are actually very few.
It might just be the cost of a banquet for some aristocratic families.
Even just the price of a horse, a chariot, a song and dance, a fine wine, a beauty...
The world is so unfair.
Master Gu glanced at Dachuan again.
This simple, poor child knows nothing.
But it’s better not to know...
The ordinary is the truth.
Once you see the world of pleasure, the desires are everywhere, and you don’t have a firm heart of Taoism, sooner or later your mentality will be distorted, and then completely ruined.
Master Gu looked at Dachuan and smiled:
"There are many things we can do. Let’s talk about it when we go back. Let’s do it one by one. Let’s let everyone have a good meal first, but..."
Master Gu frowned, thought for a moment and said, "Leave a portion for Young Master Mo."
Dachuan was stunned and nodded.
They were able to make this business and earn so many spirit stones, thanks to the white and tender Young Master Mo.
You can’t judge a person by his appearance.
When they first met, he thought this young master was a little kid from some family, but he didn’t expect that he was so capable.
Dachuan was amazed.
"But," Dachuan was a little puzzled, "Will Young Master Mo do it?"
He always felt that although Young Master Mo was young, he already had some immortal and Taoist spirit.
Such a person may not be interested in these spiritual stones.
Master Gu shook his head and said, "This is what the young master deserves. Whether he wants it or not, we have to give it to him. This is the principle of being a human being. A drop of water should be repaid with a spring of water."
"What's more, for us, the young master is much more 'precious' than these spiritual stones."
"Don't lose the big picture for the small."
"But there is no need to say it now, otherwise it will seem like we are deliberately repaying the favor, which will seem distant. We will just keep a portion quietly and keep it for the young Mo master."
Dachuan nodded repeatedly, "Master, you are still thoughtful."
Master Gu patted the storage bag on his waist, and a smile appeared on his resolute face...
...
In the Taixu Sect.
At this time, Mo Hua didn't know that there were already two people who were secretly "saving" spiritual stones for him.
He inadvertently already had two "small spiritual stone warehouses".
Mo Hua continued to learn the formation.
The armor still needs to be refined for a while. Before that, he still practices the formation as usual.
Mo Hua lay on the desk and slowly drew a second-grade 17-pattern formation, stroke by stroke.
After finishing, he continued to draw the second one.
These are the homework assigned to him by Mr. Xun.
"Learn more, the more you learn, the better, the more solid the better. If you don't have enough formation diagrams, come to me again..."
Mo Hua liked to hear what Mr. Xun said.
But he was also a little strange.
Originally, Mr. Xun said that he couldn't ignore the sect system, and asked him to accumulate merits and change the formation by himself.
But now, Mr. Xun doesn't care about these anymore.
He keeps asking himself to learn and feeds himself formations.
Although Mo Hua has a big appetite and digests quickly, he can eat as much as Mr. Xun feeds him, but he still has some doubts in his heart.
Mr. Xun, seems a little anxious?
But what is he anxious about?
Does Mr. Xun have any other plans?
Mo Hua was a little confused.
He also secretly looked at Mr. Xun, but Mr. Xun's mind was as deep as the sea, and his expression was as calm as an ancient well, and he could not see any clues.
Mo Hua tentatively asked:
"Mr. Xun, do I still need to go to the level now?"
He can already draw a second-grade high-level entry-level formation, and he has a wide range of formation experience, a solid foundation in formation, and knows a lot of formations.
Go to participate in the formation assessment and be determined as a second-grade intermediate formation master, there should be no problem.
Hearing this, Mr. Xun raised his eyes slightly and said calmly:
"No hurry."
"Oh."
Mo Hua was sure in his heart that Mr. Xun must have some arrangements.
But since Mr. Xun said there was no hurry, he was not in a hurry either.
Anyway, as long as there is formation to learn, it will be fine.
The more formations you learn, the deeper your understanding, the higher your attainments, and the more solid your foundation.
Mo Hua has a strong spiritual consciousness, recovers quickly, and has the help of the Taoist stele.
Although he could only learn seventeen patterns by studying formations day and night, Mo Hua's foundation of second-grade high-level formations was already more solid than that of many real second-grade high-level formation masters.
Gathering sands makes a tower.
What he had to do now, or what Mr. Xun asked him to do now, was to continuously expand, consolidate, and deepen the foundation of the formation...
After several days, the armor was still not refined.
Mo Hua was eating in the dining hall, and Cheng Mo suddenly found him and asked:
"Junior Brother, is there any way to defend against demonic power or demonic energy?"
Mo Hua was puzzled, "You want to deal with demon cultivators?"
Cheng Mo thought for a while and said, "Not really, it's a bounty issued by the Dao Ting Division, saying that they want to catch a few criminal cultivators, but these people have practiced some evil magic techniques, but they are not orthodox, and they are considered to be halfway into the devil..."
"It's better to take precautions before it happens, so I'm here to ask you."
Mo Hua frowned.
Practicing evil magic techniques, halfway into the devil?
A task issued by the Dao Ting Division?
Mo Hua was startled, and suddenly remembered what Uncle Gu had told him before:
"A group of demon cultivators of unknown origin have poured into the vicinity of Qianxuezhou..."
"The origin has not been found out yet, and it is not clear how many there are and what their cultivation is."
"The scope of activities is also limited to the second and third grade small states near Qianxuezhou. Their intentions are unknown, but they must have no good intentions..."
The person Cheng Mo wants to catch is one of these "demon cultivators"?
The Daoting Division is short of manpower, so it can only send the reward for arresting demon cultivators to the sect?
Mo Hua thought about it and felt that it was very likely.
And when Cheng Mo said this, he remembered that the fellow disciples who had recently asked him for advice had accepted bounties and asked some dangerous questions.
Before, I still caught some snitches and arrested a few criminal cultivators.
The opponents we have to deal with now are obviously desperadoes who have had lives on their hands.
Now it seems that the bounty they accepted is probably to deal with the "demon cultivator" that Uncle Gu mentioned.
Mo Hua thought for a moment and said carefully:
"Evil techniques are also diverse. For example, some people use evil energy to take away people's minds, some people have poison in their blood, some people are accustomed to using poisonous evil weapons, and some people practice tonic..."
"When you encounter someone who cultivates evil spirits, you must stay away and don't look into their eyes."
"There is poison in the blood, so we must use fire spells or formations to restrain it."
"Insidious evil weapons cannot be used head-on with spiritual weapons, especially inherited spiritual weapons, otherwise they will be contaminated."
"Xiu Caiben is generally very good at physical skills, so if he is caught, he will have his three legs broken to prevent him from doing evil again..."
Mo Hua told Cheng Mo about the various demonic cultivation methods he had seen in the Bishan Demon Cave, as well as the many demonic cultivation techniques he had seen, "like a treasure trove".
Cheng Mo was shocked.
He hesitated for a long time, looking around, then lowered his voice and said nervously:
"Senior brother, why are you so familiar? You can't be..."
Mo Hua glanced at him lightly, "Know yourself and your enemy, and you can fight a hundred battles without danger. How can you kill demons if you don't know their methods?"
Cheng Mo was startled, thought about it, nodded and said:
"That makes sense!"
But the ink painting is also very curious.
He wanted to know why these demon cultivators suddenly appeared and what their intentions were.
Could it be related to the evil god?
If this is the case, it must not be ignored.
But he was trapped in the sect and could not leave the Qianxue state boundary to find out.
Mo Hua thought silently, and suddenly an idea flashed.
He asked Cheng Mo to call over a group of disciples who had good relationships and often called him "little senior brothers", and then said to them:
"You accept bounties, do missions, and catch criminal cultivators or demon cultivators. If you find something weird and weird, the origin of which is unclear, remember to bring it back to me for a look."
Situ Jian frowned, "What about?"
"For example," Mo Hua thought for a while and said in deep thought, "statues, broken swords, horns, bones and other weird things..."
"Or..." Mo Hua's eyes narrowed slightly and he said slowly: "The encrypted letter, the blank jade slip, the message order with the message erased, and..."
"Some kind of sect token!"
