Chapter 724: Discussion

After returning to the sect, Mo Hua immediately put all the formation diagrams into his own Nazi Ring.

These are all good things, and they must be kept well.

And they must be learned secretly, and no one else can know, so as not to cause trouble to Aunt Wan.

Although Aunt Wan looked indifferent, Mo Hua knew in his heart that these formations were the inheritance of the Shangguan and Wenren families after all, and they were extremely precious.

Aunt Wan was the legitimate daughter of the Wenren family and the daughter-in-law of the Shangguan family.

But in other words, she was the daughter of the Wenren family who married out, and the "outsider" married by the Shangguan family.

If the inheritance formation diagrams of the two families were given to him, once known to others, it would inevitably be made a fuss and criticized.

Aunt Wan's situation in the family would definitely be more difficult.

What's more, there is also a unique formation among them!

Aunt Wan is not specialized in formations, and she may not know what kind of formation she gave him.

Second-grade twenty-pattern unique formation...

Secondary thunder flow formation!

Mo Hua tried to hold back, but couldn't help it. He took out the diagram of the secondary thunder flow absolute formation, rubbed it in his hands, squinted his eyes and smiled like a little fool.

This is the absolute formation!

And it is the secondary thunder flow absolute formation that is closest to the essence of the Yuan magnetic formation among the eight trigrams thunder derivatives!

Mo Hua was eager to learn it.

But he had taken a few glances before and found that he couldn't learn it yet.

First of all, his Yuan magnetic formation foundation is not enough.

Mo Hua learned a lot of five elements and eight trigrams formations, and his foundation is solid and his understanding is deep.

But for the Yuan magnetic formation, Mo Hua didn't learn a few sets in total, so his foundation is inevitably shallow and his understanding is impossible.

And the further secondary thunder formation is still the absolute formation. At first glance, Mo Hua is even less likely to truly comprehend it.

Secondly, his spiritual consciousness is not enough.

A twenty-line absolute formation naturally requires twenty-line spiritual consciousness.

And Mo Hua's current spiritual consciousness has only seventeen lines, which is a little short of eighteen lines, and can barely be regarded as quasi-eighteen lines.

Quasi-eighteen lines, far from twenty lines.

Especially between nineteen and twenty, it is a big hurdle from foundation building to golden elixir.

It is estimated that it is very difficult to cross this hurdle, and I don’t know how long it will take.

Or, you need to "eat" a big meal to break through...

"I can't learn..."

The second-grade absolute formation is right in front of me, but I can only look at it, not learn it.

Mo Hua sighed.

He reluctantly put away the formation diagram of the second-grade twenty-line secondary thunder flow absolute formation, and then his eyes were firm.

No matter what, we must hurry to improve our spiritual consciousness!

"We must find a way to feed the laws of heaven, break through the restrictions, and then strengthen our spiritual consciousness, improve our realm, reach twenty-line spiritual consciousness as soon as possible, and comprehend the secondary thunder absolute formation!"

The fastest way to improve spiritual consciousness is to "eat" evil spirits.

The fastest way to "eat" evil spirits is to find an altar.

By stealing the authority of the evil god, ordering "takeout" for yourself, you can eat a lot at once.

But now I can't go out, I can't find an altar, and I can't order takeout.

This approach can only be abandoned.

In addition, it is to hone the spiritual consciousness through a large number of array practice.

But this is what Mo Hua does every day and every moment.

Mo Hua's spiritual consciousness is now strong, and there is a Dao monument to trace back the spiritual thoughts. The amount of array practice every day is almost dozens of times that of array masters of the same realm.

Since getting the Dao monument, Mo Hua has been practicing every day without stopping, almost never slacking off, so there is nothing to say.

Finally, just like ordinary cultivators, step by step, through the improvement of the realm of cultivation, the realm of spiritual consciousness is also improved.

Mo Hua pondered for a while.

He was "confined". In addition to practicing arrays a lot every day, it seems that there is only one way to enhance the spiritual consciousness by improving the cultivation.

"Middle stage of foundation building!"

Improve the cultivation to the middle stage of foundation building as soon as possible, and then consider other things.

Mo Hua nodded.

After that, Mo Hua put aside everything and solved the puzzle array without distraction, hoping to break through the bottleneck as soon as possible and advance to the middle stage of foundation building.

He didn't ask about the Yu Family Water Village and the Water Yama for the time being.

Of course, he couldn't do anything about it even if he wanted to.

The Five Elements Source Armor was still being refined.

He would still meet with Master Gu when he had time, have a meal, and study ways to improve it.

If his fellow disciples offered a bounty and asked him for help, he would give them some pointers and fulfill his responsibility as a "young senior brother".

Master Gu could also sell a few more custom-made spiritual tools and earn more spiritual stones.

In addition, Mo Hua spent almost all his time and energy on breaking through the bottleneck of the middle stage of foundation building.

The bottleneck of Tian Yan Jue was a little incredible to ordinary people.

Complex array patterns, a large number of puzzle arrays, and a qualitatively changed divine level.

For ordinary cultivators, every path was like a natural chasm.

But Mo Hua had gotten used to it.

At least in his eyes, these were just "conventional" bottlenecks.

In the sea of ​​consciousness, relying on his profound attainments in array formations, powerful spiritual consciousness, profound power of calculation, and multiple speeds of trickery.

The vast and complicated puzzle array was also solved by Mo Hua quickly, just like Tang Woxue.

The bottleneck was also loosening a little bit.

After more than a month, when Mo Hua had solved the puzzle array of Tian Yan Jue and was about to break through the middle stage of foundation building, Cheng Mo suddenly came to find Mo Hua.

"Junior brother, are you going to watch the discussion conference?" Cheng Mo asked.

Mo Hua was stunned.

Discussion conference?

This word is not the first time he has heard it.

On weekdays, fellow disciples occasionally talk about it, but most of them are vague.

Mo Hua also felt that this kind of thing was still far away from him, so he didn't ask any more questions.

Of course, what he heard the most was the word "Sword Discussion Conference".

"Is there any difference between the sword discussion conference and the Tao discussion conference?" Mo Hua asked Cheng Mo.

Cheng Mo said: "The Tao Discussion Conference is a general term, including competitions in five categories: elixirs, weapons, talismans, formations, and swords. The Sword Discussion Conference is just one of them."

"The alchemy talisman array is a test of Taoist skills."

"The sword examination is about fighting. The disciples of the major sects in Qianxue Prefecture discuss sword fighting with each other and learn martial arts..."

Mo Hua was confused, "Since it includes sword theory, fighting skills, and martial arts, why is it just called sword theory?"

Cheng Mo scratched his head, "I don't know, maybe the sword cultivator is the most handsome?"

Mo Hua looked at him silently.

Cheng Mo smiled coquettishly, "How about I call Situ over? He is a sword cultivator, so he must know."

Cheng Mo actually ran to call Situ Jian.

When Situ Jian came, Mo Hua discovered that after not seeing him for a while, Situ Jian was already in the middle stage of foundation building.

Among people from the same sect, practice may be fast or slow.

Moreover, it is also affected by the cultivation methods and Tao methods, as well as whether one's own cultivation resources are sufficient, and whether it is necessary to lay a solid foundation and cultivate spiritual power to perfection. Therefore, the progress of cultivation among disciples cannot be generalized.

Situ Jian was relatively successful, the spiritual objects were fully prepared, and the Zhou Tianshu was almost completed, so the breakthrough was relatively early.

But like Cheng Mo and Yang Qianjun, they still need to temper their energy, so they should slow down.

As for ink painting...

He doesn't need anything, as long as he can break through the realm, blood, energy and spiritual power don't matter at all.

There is nothing special about his spiritual roots.

Situ Jian explained for Mo Hua: "The term sword theory has a long origin..."

"The Sword Discussing Conference is all about swords at the beginning. Sword cultivators compete with each other and determine who is best based on their 'sword'."

"Whoever comes first will be the leader of the Sword Discussion Conference, and will usually be regarded as the person with the highest cultivation level among the disciples of the same generation."

"But other physical and spiritual cultivations are unsatisfactory. If you are number one in swordsmanship, why can you be the number one disciple?"

"So later, physical and spiritual training also participated."

"But there is no need for swords in physical and spiritual cultivation. If you compete with a swordsman and win, you will become a person who does not practice swordsmanship. It is unjustifiable to win the first place in the sword discussion conference."

"So it became a team battle. The sword cultivator led a physical cultivator and a spiritual cultivator mixed together. Three people formed a team and fought against each other."

"Later, we imitated the Taoist army structure, with a small team of five people competing against each other."

"It was a tough fight from the beginning. Whoever wins will be better."

"Later, some ancestors of Qianzhou felt that this was too reckless and did not meet the actual combat situation, so they changed the rules and added many restrictions such as flag capture, monster hunting, and sword seizing. It has been passed down to this day and has become the current discussion. Sword Conference..."

"Five people from the same sect form a team and join forces with each other to achieve the goal. They not only discuss cultivation and Taoism, but also focus on collaborative strategies. If they win, the five will be the best. If they lose, they will all be eliminated. We share weal and woe."

Mo Hua nodded, probably understanding.

Cheng Mo patted Situ Jian on the shoulder and praised, "You know better."

Situ Jian was helpless, "You should also serve snacks occasionally, don't just swing an ax..."

Cheng Mo smiled and invited Mo Hua: "Senior brother, do you want to go and see it together? This is a triennial event in Qianxue State."

Situ Jian added: "And for us, we may only be able to participate once in our lifetime."

Mo Hua was a little confused, "I can only participate once?"

Situ Jian nodded slightly, "Generally, only disciples who have been initiated for more than nine years, are in the late stage of foundation building, have reached the peak of spiritual power, blood and energy, and have not broken through the golden elixir can participate in the Sword Discussion Conference."

"If you are one year below and have studied for a few years less, your cultivation, blood, energy and spiritual power will be much worse than others, and you will not be able to compete with other sects' geniuses..."

"Oh." Mo Hua nodded.

Cheng Mo sighed: "I don't know if I can participate in the next session..."

"Don't think about it," Situ Jian shook his head and said, "At least until the next term."

Cheng Mo was a little dissatisfied.

Situ Jian then said: "The Tao Discussion Conference is of great importance, not only related to the disciples' personal spiritual future, but also to the development of the sect. The disciples who participate in the Tao Discussion are selected very strictly, and every quota is precious..."

Cheng Mo was a little unhappy, but he also knew that Situ Jian was right.

Mo Hua was a little curious.

It’s about the disciple’s personal future, so this is easy to understand.

If you get a good ranking in the monastic conference and become popular, you will gain the respect of the sect and be appreciated by other monastic forces, and you may even get a lot of merit.

But what does this have to do with the development of the sect...

It's just a discussion, is it that important?

Mo Hua asked Situ Jian, and Situ Jian asked:

"Senior Brother, do you know the Qianlong Mountain Range?"

"Qianlong Mountains?"

Mo Hua frowned and seemed to have some impression.

Situ Jiandao: "The Qianlong Mountain Range is a huge mountain range that traverses the border of Qianxue State. Within this mountain range, there is a huge spiritual mine with an astonishing output of spiritual stones."

The output of spiritual stones is astonishing, huge spiritual mines!

Mo Hua was slightly shocked.

Situ Jian lowered his voice and said, "I heard these from my grandfather..."

"It is said that the Taoist court tried every means to occupy this Qianlong spirit mine, and used all kinds of methods, but in the end, the ancestors of dozens of big families in Qianzhou joined forces and forcibly suppressed it."

"Despite this, Daoting is still unwilling."

"And when it comes to such a huge amount of spiritual stones, the family will not give in."

"In the end, both parties compromised. A small part of the output of these spiritual mines will be handed over to Daoting as a 'spiritual tax', and the rest will be used by the major sects in the Qianxue state."

"With these spiritual stones, the sect will develop and grow, recruit more disciples, teach and educate, and cultivate talents. In this way, the spiritual stones in the Qianlong Spirit Mine can be used for the world."

"Dao Ting agreed, and the family has no explanation."

"Therefore, this huge Qianlong spirit mine fell on the heads of hundreds of sects in the Qianxue state border."

"But how to divide such a large sum of spiritual stones has become a problem..."

Mo Hua understood and asked: "Tao discussion conference?"

"Yes." Situ Jian nodded, "Disciples from each sect will participate in the Tao Discussion Conference to determine the ranking."

"This ranking affects the order of the sect, and the order of the sect determines the share of the huge spiritual mine in Qianlong Mountain."

"This is a giant spiritual mine. Any small share means a huge amount of spiritual stones."

"And the spirit stone is the foundation for the development of the sect."

"Therefore, the Tao Discussion Conference is not only related to the personal future of the disciples, but also closely related to the interests and future development of the sect..."

"So that's it..."

Mo Hua suddenly realized and nodded slightly.

"Senior Brother, it seems that the Tao Discussion Conference has already begun. Do you want to go and take a look?" Situ Jian also asked beside him.

Mo Hua thought for a while and said, "That's fine."

He also wanted to know what the Dao Discussion Conference was really like.

As for the middle stage of foundation building, it’s almost done anyway, so there’s no rush for these two days.

So Mo Hua gave himself a half-day vacation and followed Cheng Mo and Situ Jian to watch the Taoism Conference.

The conference on Taoism was held at Mount Londao in the center of Qianxue Prefecture.

From the outside, Lundao Mountain is majestic and majestic, with a huge formation built outside.

One look at the ink painting shows that this is a big formation.

And it's not a closed formation, it's a slightly opened formation.

Above the formation, the faint light circulates with an astonishing momentum, like a hibernating giant beast, breathing softly.

"This formation is..."

Mo Hua looked at Cheng Mo and Situ Jian, and was about to ask something, but saw that their expressions were more shocked than his own, so he didn't ask.

Forget it, it’s better not to make things difficult for them regarding the formation.

The entry requirements for the Dao Discussion Conference are not strict, as long as they are disciples of the sect within the boundaries of Qianxue State.

The three of them, Mo Hua, arrived at the entrance of the mountain gate, showed the Taixu Order, verified the identity of the disciples of the sect, and were allowed to enter Lundao Mountain.

Entering Lundao Mountain means entering the great formation.

Cheng Mo and Situ Jian were a little confused and couldn't understand anything.

But in the perception of the ink painting, the vast, mysterious and boundless aura of the formation is extremely strong.

He could even faintly feel the vibrations of those subtle and mysterious high-grade formations throughout the mountain, as well as the flow of massive spiritual power that was as deep as the ocean but calm on the surface...

Mo Hua's heart trembled and his eyes were opened.

It is worthy of being a fifth-grade Qianxue state boundary, there are so many good things!

I don’t know when I will be able to set up a large formation of this level...

Ink painting brings longing to the heart.

Situ Jian took the ink painting and explained as he walked:

"In the Tao Discussion Conference, alchemy, weapon refining, talismans, and formations will be assessed in sequence."

"The sword discussion is a little different. Because the cycle is longer and there are more fights than fighting, there will be some differences in the time of each session, but generally it will be staggered with the alchemy and talisman formations and other Tao discussions..."

The three of them were walking and chatting.

As they approached the dojo, they saw a huge crowd of people. Not only the Taixu Sect, but also disciples from the other four major sects, the Eighth Gates, the Twelve Sects, and the Hundreds of Qianxue Sects were all coming to see it.

The area around the dojo was extremely lively, filled with young disciples wearing various sect robes. There were handsome young men standing in the wind under the trees, as well as graceful young women.

Cheng Mo looked forward to it, "Tell me, if six years later, I show off my power at the Sword Discussing Conference and kill everyone, will these Yingyingyanyan, senior sisters and junior fellow students, worship me in particular and insist on treating me?" Promise yourself or something..."

Situ Jian patted his shoulder and sighed:

"There are a lot of people here. If you're daydreaming, it's better to find another place."

Cheng Mo was startled, then a little angry, and said in a low voice:

"You Situ, how dare you look down on me! Let's find a place to spar and see if your sword is faster or my ax is stronger..."

Mo Hua felt helpless and sighed, "Okay."

"Okay, little senior brother." Cheng Mo immediately followed Shan Ruliu, then gave Situ Jian a look and whispered:

"For the sake of my little senior brother, I won't argue with you."

Situ Jian shook his head.

And below, the Alchemy Conference has begun.

There are many alchemy furnaces placed in the huge dojo.

A group of disciples from the sect who were in the late stage of foundation building and were obviously older, more advanced, and much taller than Mo Hua and others, all looked solemn and began to light open fires and start the furnace to refine elixirs.

There are elders supervising the exam.

There were many disciples watching around.

But at this time, the scene had become quiet, and no disciple dared to speak loudly.

On the dojo, the disciples in the late stage of foundation building concentrate on refining the elixir. After refining the elixir, they present it to the elders above. The elders will comment on it and decide on four grades: A, B, C and D, and then show the conclusion to the public.

The eliminated ones sighed and left the stage dejectedly.

The advanced ones showed joy and saluted the elders.

Then another group of people changed and continued to refine the elixir.

After refining the elixir, they continued to repeat the process...

After watching for a while, Mo Hua felt bored.

The Dao Conference was indeed a grand event, but it was a bit boring to watch from the side.

And it was a discussion of the Dao of Alchemy.

Mo Hua didn't know anything about alchemy, but at least he knew very little.

He only had a rough understanding of some alchemy theories, and remembered some practical knowledge of elixir very well.

Like what kind of elixir, what kind of injury it healed, what kind of poison it detoxified, and what kind of effect it had.

There were also some medicines that could be used to cheat people, to poison people, and so on.

Apart from that, Mo Hua's research on specific alchemy was very limited.

He had never successfully refined many furnaces of elixir.

If the little sister was refining elixir, he would stare at it for a while.

But most of the people in the Taoist temple were disciples from other sects that he didn't know.

Therefore, after watching for a while, Mo Hua felt a little sleepy.

Cheng Mo was even more so.

Situ Jian was better, but not much better.

The three of them looked at each other, nodded slightly, and quietly left the crowd.

"Alchemy is a bit boring..." Cheng Mo said, "Except for those who aspire to be alchemists, or those who have high attainments in alchemy and want to win a place in the alchemy conference, few disciples pay attention to this kind of alchemy competition every day..."

"Unlike the sword conference, where fists and flesh, magic flying, and sword fighting are fun..."

Situ Jian also nodded and said, "Indeed, alchemy and other cultivation skills are not watched by many people."

"It's just that the Dao Conference has just started, so there are more people. After a few days, there will be fewer people."

"We have to wait until a period of time, when the sword conference starts, that will be the real event!"

"The Dao Conference is a grand event in Qianzhou, and the sword conference is a grand event of the Dao Conference!"

"Not only the Qianxuezhou world, but even the Central Dao Court, and even many big families and big sects outside, will send people to watch."

"If you win the first place in the sword conference, you will really stand out from the thousands of geniuses, glorify your ancestors, and become famous!"
