Asking about longevity

On the lonely mountain, the Gu family's large spiritual machine stood tall.

Amid the humming sound, the huge spiritual machine arm, like a giant's arm, was digging the mountain, digging out the mine, and leveling the collapsed lonely mountain. According to Mo Hua's plan, it was reorganized into a foundation as the foundation of the formation.

Mo Hua wanted to rebuild a grand formation on the lonely mountain.

This formation, of course, did not reach the level of a large formation.

Even with Mo Hua's spiritual strength, it was far from enough to build a second-grade formation.

In addition, the huge manpower, material resources, long time, and huge consumption of spiritual stones and spiritual ink were not affordable for Mo Hua.

What Mo Hua built was just a large complex formation.

But this complex formation was extremely large in scale, covering most of the lonely mountain, with various formations, and the five elements and eight trigrams. It needed to be compatible with various formation patterns. In a sense, it could be said to be the "prototype" of a large formation.

This was used by Mo Hua for "practice".

He couldn't build a second-grade formation yet, so he could only settle for the next best thing and use a large complex formation to stack a pseudo-large formation.

Although it is a "pseudo-large formation", it is very difficult because of its large size.

This requires extremely deep formation foundation, extremely profound formation knowledge, and control of a large number of second-grade formations.

In addition, to build a large complex formation, the formation master needs to have a big picture, the big veins of the formation, the overall formation hub, the core formation eye, and the formation compatibility, and to dispatch, arrange and control from a macro perspective.

There are only a handful of formation masters who really have this kind of ability or relevant experience.

Since leaving Gushan and returning to the sect, Mo Hua has actually been thinking about this matter.

Whenever he has time, he is planning the famous, this large complex formation map of Gushan.

After thinking about it for a while, Mo Hua finally drew the formation map.

After planning the complex formation map, Mo Hua was not very reassured, and he also specially consulted Mr. Xun for his opinion.

When Mr. Xun saw this large-scale Lonely Mountain Formation, his inner emotions were indescribable.

He also saw that this was actually the "prototype" of a large formation.

It was just that the current ability was limited, and there was a lack of manpower, material resources, and financial resources, so it was changed to a second-rate complex formation.

But the grand conception and the veins of the large formation were obvious.

In particular, in the eyes of Mr. Xun, a knowledgeable fifth-grade formation master, he could see at a glance that it contained the techniques of the large formation.

Mr. Xun remembered the news he had heard from Tongxian City, and his heart was immediately shocked again.

"Is it really possible that this kid had built a first-grade formation back then?"

The main formation master of the first-grade formation...

How old was he at that time?

Mr. Xun was a little stunned.

He sighed slightly, and then looked at Mo Hua's Gushan formation map repeatedly, pointed out several errors, improved several nodes, deleted several formation hubs... and then added the finishing touch, making the whole formation map more concise and perfect.

After careful consideration, Mo Hua benefited a lot, and he admired Mr. Xun's attainments in formation more and more.

With Mr. Xun's "correction", Mo Hua was completely relieved.

He began to formally follow this formation map to develop his own plan to implement his concept of large-scale complex formation, so as to gradually lay the foundation for his future construction of a real second-grade formation.

Under the coordination of Mo Hua, the large-scale Gushan complex formation has now officially started.

This is "specially authorized" by the Dao Ting Division.

This large-scale cultivation project is a "great political achievement", and the Gushan Dao Ting Division is naturally happy to see it.

Even Xia Jianjian used the power of supervision to allocate a part of spiritual stones to support the construction of Gushan complex formation.

In addition, the Gu family also contributed a lot of material resources.

The second-grade large spiritual machines were basically transferred from the Gu family.

The Gu family was willing to help, partly because the Gu family did have a part of the equipment refining industry in Gushan.

Although this industry is very meager, with the efforts of Master Gu, it has now become the "pillar" of Gushan City.

Without the Gu family's equipment refining business, Gushan City would starve to death.

The Gu family is upright, so they will naturally not sit idly by.

What's more, this is the "array project" coordinated by Mo Hua. They have to do this favor to Mo Hua.

Wen Renwan is devoted to Mo Hua and has also helped a lot.

As the daughter of the Wen family and the young lady of the Shangguan family, she even paid out of her own pocket to fill in part of the expenses for the construction of the complex array.

As for manpower, most of them come from the casual cultivators of Gushan City.

The casual cultivators of Gushan City are very poor, and most of them have no food to eat.

Mo Hua used "work for relief" to build a large-scale Gushan complex formation to give them something to do.

As long as they helped, no matter how much they contributed, they would have a meal.

Even those orphans who were weak and helpless could have a full meal as long as they helped to move a few stones.

The next problem was the formation.

The large-scale complex formation contained a large number of formations. Although it was not as big as the big formation, it was much more complicated than the general formation project.

Even if Mo Hua drew these formations, it would take a lot of time.

But he didn't have so much time, and it was impossible for him to stay in Gushan for too long.

But if he hired other formation masters, it would cost a lot of spirit stones, and Mo Hua was worried.

After thinking about it, Mo Hua came up with a good idea.

He went to find Mr. Xun again and said that he wanted to give his younger brothers and sisters a chance to practice formations.

Mr. Xun understood what Mo Hua meant. After thinking about it for a while, his eyes lit up and he readily agreed.

This is indeed a good opportunity.

Arrays cannot be "talked about on paper". The most important thing is to "apply what you have learned".

But in the sect, there are not many opportunities to apply what you have learned.

Gushan City is a good opportunity.

At the same time, this is also a very meaningful thing that benefits the people and is in line with the purpose of Taixu Sect.

Mr. Xun nodded and said, "You arrange everything."

So a few days later, during class time, Mo Hua brought a group of junior brothers from Taixu Sect to Gushan for "extracurricular array practice".

This group of junior brothers are good at arrays, and they are also motivated to become outstanding array masters in the future.

Although they have a family background, they have always drawn arrays on paper. It is almost the first time for them to actually participate in the construction. This large-scale cultivation project is both novel and interesting.

This matter was led by Mo Hua, the "junior brother".

Mo Hua even allocated a part of his merits, which had already overflowed and seemed to be inexhaustible, as "rewards" for drawing the formation.

Therefore, all the disciples drew very seriously.

They already had a profound family learning, and they were able to join the Taixu Sect. They were all "outstanding" in their respective families and geniuses in formation. In the Taixu Sect, they all studied formation hard, so the formations they drew were fast and good.

Many disciples were also secretly competing with each other to see who could draw faster and better.

Everyone was full of fighting spirit.

But soon, they saw Mo Hua drawing formations with their own eyes.

In the sect, they all drew on paper, one by one. No matter how fast Mo Hua drew, it looked just like that.

But here in Gushan, when such a large-scale formation project required a huge number of formations, they saw the real "horror" of Mo Hua.

Mo Hua held the brush, and his writing flowed like clouds and water, like a dragon and snake. When others just drew a few array patterns, he had already outlined a series of arrays.

His brushwork was perfect, and the array patterns were neat and exquisite, just like they were copied from the array map, without the slightest mistake.

He knew the array maps by heart, so skillfully that he didn't even need to look at them.

And it was so fast that no matter what array it was, the spiritual ink was winding, and in a few breaths, it was connected into an array from Mo Hua's pen.

A natural aura flowed between the arrays, which was amazing.

All the disciples were stunned.

They realized that the little brother was still low-key on weekdays, and his array strength was far more terrifying than they imagined.

All the little brothers were a little depressed.

But after being depressed, they had fighting spirit.

With the "little brother" as an example, even if they couldn't catch up, they couldn't fall behind too much and let the little brother look down on them.

All the disciples, looking at Mo Hua's back, began to concentrate, go all out, and try their best to draw the formation assigned to them quickly and well.

Mo Hua was tired of drawing, so he stopped to take a breath. He wanted to encourage everyone, but when he turned around, he saw that everyone was drawing the formation meticulously. He was surprised and very pleased.

"They are all promising talents..."

With Mo Hua, the "great genius", and a bunch of "little geniuses" from Taixu Sect, the construction of the entire Gushan complex formation was unusually fast.

In less than ten days, the main body of the formation was built.

Mo Hua could just draw some fragmentary formations at will, and he planned to return to Taixu Sect with these junior brothers.

From Gushan to Gushan City, the scenery along the way was not good.

The mountains were desolate and the city was dilapidated.

There were ragged, sallow-faced casual cultivators on the street, and orphans who looked like charcoal and skinny.

Zheng Fang frowned, hesitated for a long time, and finally slowly opened his mouth and asked Mo Hua:

"Little brother, how can these cultivators... be so poor?"

When they came, they took a carriage, and the lonely mountain was closed for construction, so they didn't really see the scenery of the city.

The other disciples of Taixu Sect also looked at Mo Hua, with unbearable eyes.

Mo Hua was startled and asked, "Have you never seen this kind of cultivator before?"

Zheng Fang said "hmm", and the others nodded.

Mo Hua's eyes paused slightly, and then he understood.

Zheng Fang and his friends are all children of aristocratic families. Even if their backgrounds are not good, they are all supported by their families. They can be regarded as "pampered and well-off". They make friends with children of aristocratic families. The places they go in and out are either big aristocratic families, big sects, or prosperous fairy cities.

It's not like they haven't seen poor people.

In both large and small immortal cities, there are some poor cultivators who dress simply, eat simply, can't afford expensive spiritual tools, and don't have many spiritual stones for cultivation.

In their cognition, this is already a very poor cultivator.

But the real "poverty" is still far beyond their imagination.

Just like the poor, they can't imagine how rich the real "rich" will be.

The rich can't imagine how poor the real "poverty" will be.

Mo Hua was in a complicated mood.

Zheng Fang asked: "Little Senior Brother, how many poor people are like this?"

Mo Hua was silent for a moment, and could only say conservatively: "In this world, at least more than half are such cultivators."

Among the remaining half, most may live a better life, but not much better.

They still have to worry about their livelihood and suffer for cultivation.

There are only a very small number of real children from noble families.

But Jiuzhou is too big and there are too many monks.

Although the proportion of children from aristocratic families is small, there are definitely a lot of them. When they gather together and interact with each other, there will be an illusion that everything is prosperous and the palace is filled with aristocratic families.

But prosperity is just a corner.

Underneath the prosperity lies a more real cruelty.

For the first time, these junior brothers tore apart a corner of prosperity and saw the most miserable truth in the world.

Everyone was silent for a moment.

Seeing this, Mo Hua sighed slightly.

These disciples are all children of aristocratic families. When they grow up, they may also be obsessed with fame and fortune.

But at least at this time, they are not deeply involved in the world, and they still have a sincere heart, and they will feel compassion for the poverty in this world.

Mo Hua smiled gently and comforted them:

"The formations you drew in Gushan will serve as the foundation to build a large mine, providing a future for the poor casual cultivators in Gushan City, allowing them to live a better life bit by bit."

"Understand the way of heaven and benefit all living beings..."

"Your formation has changed their situation, and also changed the fate of their generation, and even the generations to come."

"This is the secret of the formation, and it is also the 'Tao' that the formation master seeks throughout his life..."

Including Zheng Fang, all the disciples were stunned for a moment, and then their eyes gradually brightened.

"Understand the way of heaven and benefit all living beings..."

This sentence touched their hearts and stayed in their hearts like a seed, taking root and sprouting little by little.

…

After seeing off Zheng Fang and the others, Mo Hua did not return to Taixumen, but went to the weapon refining shop in Gushan City.

The large-scale formation in Gushan is only the first step.

Originally, almost all of the ore in the Gushan Mountain had been mined, but the Shen family ignored everything and blew up half of the Gushan Mountain, exposing some of the ore that was buried underground or that had been difficult to mine before.

These ores are naturally not as valuable as chalcopyrite, but after refining, there will be quite good profits, enough for casual cultivators in Gushan City to make a living.

But the key lies in "refining".

The large-scale complex formation in Gushan is used to reconstruct the mine, just like what Mo Hua did in Nanyue City.

But Gushan is already very barren, so the ore mined needs to be further "refined."

Refining requires a more profound formation.

These formations, without exception, are all second-grade high-level formations, and even include some second-grade and nineteenth-level formations.

Among the current disciples of Taixu Sect, only ink paintings can be drawn.

These formations are drawn in a large furnace.

From then on, the ore mined on the Gushan Mountain will be sent to the refining shop, where it will be refined into purer spiritual ore in this large-scale furnace, and then processed into refining equipment.

Master Gu led all the weapon refiners and has already completed the preliminary construction of the furnace.

The huge furnace, like a strange beast that can swallow ore, occupies almost half of the weapons refinery shop.

After that, the formations required for the furnace are drawn one by one with ink, and it is considered complete.

The Nineteen Pattern Formation is the pinnacle of second-level formations in the public domain. For ordinary second-level formation masters, it is extremely difficult to draw this type of formation.

But the ink painting spirit has already formed a pill, so he can paint these formations as easily as eating and drinking, and it doesn't take much effort.

Although this furnace is large, its size is definitely not comparable to Gushan's complex formation.

Therefore, although there are many formations involved, these numbers and the "monster"-like ink paintings of the formations can be solved by one person.

After spending some time to roughly draw the formation on the furnace, Mo Hua asked Master Gu to withdraw from the crowd and stay alone in the furnace, preparing to draw the last formation.

This is a desperate battle.

Second grade, twenty patterns, secondary thunder flow array.

This is the Yuan Magnetic Absolute Formation that Wen Renwan secretly took out from Shangguan's house and gave it to Mo Hua. It is also the first and second grade Absolute Formation that Mo Hua has mastered.

I don’t know if it’s because Mo Hua has returned to the current of thunder and magnetism and understood part of the origin of thunder and magnetism.

He learned this "Secondary Thunder Current Absolute Formation" unexpectedly smoothly, and it didn't take much time at all.

This time, the function of the thunder flow formation is actually simple, that is, through the formation method, the "secondary thunder flow" is directionally derived.

However, secondary thunder currents cover a wide range of areas and have different uses.

Mo Hua specifically went to consult Elder Zheng, and then he realized that this secondary thunder flow formation was actually a "production" type of ultimate formation.

The secondary thunder flow derived from it has only one purpose, which is to magnetize ink ores and generate "magnetic ink".

Magnetic ink is very precious.

Therefore, the formation method for producing "magnetic ink" is also extremely rare.

But Mo Hua had never imagined before that Shangguan's secondary thunder flow array was actually used to produce magnetic ink.

No matter how big the family is, they all operate various industries. It is not surprising that the Shangguan family collects such industrial formations.

This formation seems to be a reward from Daoting, and there may be other reasons, but when it comes to the Shangguan family and Daoting, Mo Hua is unknown.

All he needs to do is learn this formation and then put it into practice.

Moreover, this must-have formation was given to him by Aunt Wan.

Now, he will use this extraordinary force in the Gu family's weapon refining business, and part of the income will be given back to Aunt Wan, which is a return of favor.

After Mo Hua thought about it, he began to draw this secondary thunder flow array of the second grade and twenty patterns on the last furnace.

In this way, this last small furnace became a "magnetic ink furnace".

On the surface, no one can see it.

No one knows that Mo Hua has secretly drawn a formation in the furnace of this Gushan Refining Shop.

Even Master Gu doesn't know.

Mo Hua only told him that this last furnace can produce a small amount of precious magnetic ink.

But there are many ways to produce magnetic ink, and they are very confidential. Master Gu doesn't understand much. He just marvels at Mo Hua's attainments in the formation that turned decay into magic.

Mo Hua also reminded Master Gu: "Behind this magnetic ink furnace, where the inkstone is magnetized, there is a jade slip. It should be replaced about once a month. Remember to keep the replaced jade slip and bring it to me when you have time."

"Jade slip?" Master Gu didn't quite understand, but he didn't ask much.

Although Mo Hua only has the foundation, in Master Gu's eyes, he is already an unfathomable "expert".

Especially after the trip to Gushan, Mo Hua became even more unfathomable in Master Gu's eyes.

Master Gu said solemnly: "Don't worry, sir, I will remember it."

Mo Hua nodded with satisfaction.

These jade slips are very useful to him.

The "magnetic ink furnace" uses spirit stones to drive the formation, generate secondary lightning flow, "magnetize" the ore, and generate "magnetic ink".

Since there is a secondary lightning flow, secondary lightning patterns will naturally be left behind.

These secondary lightning patterns are generated and reacted in the magnetic ink furnace, and will eventually be recorded one by one on the jade slips by Mo Hua.

These secondary lightning patterns are completely different formation patterns.

Mo Hua will use the secondary lightning patterns on these jade slips to deeply trace the source of the lightning magnetic formation flow from another angle.

In other words, once this magnetic ink furnace is in operation, it will produce magnetic ink to increase the income of the refining industry. At the same time, it will also continuously produce a large number of "secondary lightning patterns" for Mo Hua.

These secondary lightning patterns will provide rich lightning magnetic materials to facilitate Mo Hua to trace the source of the lightning magnetic formation flow more quickly and conveniently, and strengthen his "thunder magnetic villain".
