Asking about longevity

A few days later, Mo Hua followed Dao Tingsi's carriage to Cangyun Sect in Qingshan City.

Because he was just participating in the assessment, there were not many people accompanying him, only a few Daotingsi executives and his father Mo Shan.

The carriage is for the exclusive use of the Dao Tingsi. The horse pulling the carriage is a spiritual beast raised by monks. It has ordinary blood and is not considered expensive.

The car was hung with the flag of Daotingsi, and it was on the main road, so no one would dare to provoke him.

This is Mo Hua's first trip abroad.

He sat in the carriage, opened the curtains, stuck out his little head, and looked at the scenery along the way.

When encountering novel and unseen scenery or strange monks, he turned around and asked his father Mo Shan:

"Dad, what kind of mountain is this?"

"Why isn't there a fish in this river?"

"Then why is the monk carrying a big sword?"

"What about the red ones hawking on the roadside?"

…

Mo Hua kept talking all the way, and Mo Shan kept explaining to him gently:

"This is Qingping Mountain. The river water is poisonous so there are no fish. The monks carry knives to work for others. The hawkers on the roadside are mountain reds that can't fill their stomachs..."

Mo Hua asked all the questions, and Mo Shan answered all the questions.

The journey was bumpy, but it was a smooth journey. Three days later, the carriage arrived at Cangyun City.

Cangyun City is larger than Tongxian City, and the streets are wider, but not as lively as Tongxian City. Some of the things sold at the street stalls look novel, but most of them are similar to Tongxian City.

After turning a few streets, you can vaguely see a towering sect on Qingping Mountain, shrouded in clouds and mist.

Cangyun Sect.

This is the largest sect in the Black Mountain Realm of the Second-Rank State.

The sect is in the second level and has more than ten foundation-building monks. It is said that the Supreme Elder is still in the late stage of foundation-building.

But these have nothing to do with ink painting, he just came to take a test.

The qualification assessment of Daoting formation masters takes place once every few years, and the time is uncertain. The specific date is decided by Daoting Tianshu Pavilion.

Tianshu Pavilion will select the assessment location, and in each state boundary, qualified formation masters will be gathered together for the assessment.

The assessment location is usually a sect or a prominent family.

The location chosen this year is Cangyun Sect.

Mo Hua entered the Cangyun Sect and got off the carriage. A disciple of the Cangyun Sect came forward and asked about the purpose of his visit.

A young executive from Tongxian City said: "We are here to participate in the formation master's finalization."

The disciple's attitude became more respectful, and after saying "please", he led Mo Hua and others to an elegantly decorated hall on the left.

There were many monks in the hall, sitting on mahogany chairs, drinking tea and waiting.

"Before ordering the product, a recommendation letter must be presented and registered by the elders of the sect. After the examiner from Tianshu Pavilion confirms it is correct, you can participate in the formation assessment at Wenxian Hall, the main peak of Cangyun Peak, the day after tomorrow."

The disciple reminded him, and after speaking, he bowed and left.

Mo Hua and others sat down, drank a cup of tea, and waited.

The divisions on the other side registered in order.

When he was idle and bored, Mo Hua wanted to hear what he would ask when registering, but when he raised his ears, he couldn't hear it.

After letting go of his spiritual consciousness, he realized that there was a sound-proof formation around him.

This formation was simple and could not be troubled by Mo Hua, but out of respect, he still withdrew his consciousness, sat down and waited quietly.

After waiting for a while and half a cup of tea, it was his turn.

Accompanied by Mo Shan, Mo Hua handed the recommendation letter to the registered elders.

This elder is only middle-aged and has cultivated to the ninth level of Qi Refining. His seniority does not seem to be very deep. He must have just been promoted, so he was assigned to register.

He glanced at Mo Hua suspiciously, took Mo Hua's recommendation letter, his brows knitted together for a moment, thought for a moment, and asked tentatively:

"Which one of you is Mo Hua?"

Mo Hua said: "Me.

The elder asked again: "Which one of you will take the exam?"

Mo Hua said again: "Me!"

The elder looked at the ink painting, then at the recommendation letter, then at the ink painting, then at the recommendation letter... and said after a long while:

"How old are you?"

"I'm thirteen!"

The elder's expression suddenly became very complicated.

He looked at Mo Shan again and asked, "Are you the father of this child?"

Mo Shan nodded.

"Do you know what he did?"

Mo Shan frowned slightly and said calmly:

"The letter should be very clear."

The elder of Cangyun Sect took a look at the recommendation letter, and it was indeed written clearly:

"There is a monk from Tongxian City, named Mo Minghua, who is thirteen years old. He has profound knowledge of formations and has the qualifications to be selected. I would like to recommend him here.

Director of Tongxian City: Zhou Tiancheng. "

There is also the official seal of Daotingsi and the private seal of head Zhou Tiancheng.

The letter is true, but the more you look at it, the more false it becomes.

How can someone who is only thirteen years old come to take part in the final product assessment?

"You're not lying to me..."

The middle-aged elder was particularly worried, so he let go of his consciousness and wanted to take a peek at the ink painting.

He did it in a very subtle way, and his spiritual consciousness was retracted as soon as it was released. However, when the spiritual consciousness was released, it was instantly annihilated when it touched the ink painting, leaving no trace and no information.

Unfathomable?

The elder was shocked. As soon as he raised his head, he saw Mo Hua looking at him silently with a hint of displeasure.

"Discovered!"

The elder felt a chill in his heart again. He quickly stood up, cupped his fists and said:

"I'm being rude, please don't take it off, I'll register it right now."

Mo Hua was not an unforgiving person, so he nodded and said:

"Thank you, elder."

The elder sat down again, feeling relieved.

"I almost got into trouble..."

His spiritual consciousness cannot peek, so he must be wearing a spiritual weapon that blocks his spiritual consciousness.

This type of spiritual weapon is very precious and is generally worn only by aristocratic families with a good background or knowledge, or by disciples of sects.

If this is the case, then this child's identity and background cannot be underestimated.

It would be even scarier if it wasn't so.

The stronger the spiritual consciousness, the more obscure it becomes.

I can't pry into it with my spiritual consciousness.

This means that this child's spiritual consciousness is extremely strong, even much stronger than his own, so that he can completely isolate himself from the prying eyes of his own spiritual consciousness.

Even if you just peek slightly, you will be noticed by him.

With such a strong spiritual consciousness, he does have the capital to learn formation techniques, and it is very possible that he really has the strength to participate in the finalization and become a first-grade formation master.

Plus he was only thirteen years old.

A thirteen-year-old first-grade formation master...

That would be terrifying...

The elder thought carefully in his mind, and the more he thought about it, the more panicked he became.

On the surface, he remained calm and serious, registering the name of the ink painting stroke by stroke, and then handed over his hand and apologized:

"I have offended you just now, please forgive me."

Then he introduced himself:

"My surname is Li. I am the elder of the outer sect of Cangyun Sect. I am responsible for the reception of this formation master. If you two don't understand anything, you can come to me."

Elder Li handed over another jade plaque, a map, and a jade sign.

"This jade token is a certificate. You will need to hold the jade token to participate in the final product assessment in the future."

"This map is a simplified map of Waishan. It marks the architectural terrain of Waishan. Where you can go and where you can't go, there are markings inside."

"Our Cangyun Sect is the largest sect in the Black Mountain State. In your free time, you can walk around according to the map and see the scenery of the mountains outside the Cangyun Sect."

"This is my identity jade sign. Every elder of Cangyun Sect has one. If there is any trouble, showing this sign will save a lot of effort..."

…

Elder Li's attitude was neither humble nor arrogant, but his words were very enthusiastic.

Mo Hua was a little surprised and said with a smile:

"Thank you, Elder Li!"

Elder Li breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Mo Hua smiled sincerely and didn't look like he had any grudges, and personally sent Mo Hua and Mo Shan away.

Several other formation masters who were still waiting to register looked at each other.

They waited here for a long time and watched for a long time.

This Elder Li works by the rules and handles official business. He is not an enthusiastic person, and he does not speak unnecessary words.

Why are you so enthusiastic about this father and son?

Several people were confused.

There was a simple soundproof formation at the registration area. They couldn't hear what Mo Hua and the others said, so naturally they didn't know what happened...

At the same time, what puzzled them even more was Mo Shan.

They didn't know Mo Shan's last name, but they saw that he had sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, a majestic weapon, and blood all over his body. His clothes were not expensive, but he did have an extraordinary bearing.

It's just that although he has an extraordinary demeanor, he doesn't look like an array master.

He looks more like a physical practitioner who is good at wielding swords, rather than a formation master who can paint formations with pen and ink.

Also, what's going on when he comes to take part in the formation master assessment and brings his son with him?
