Asking about longevity

Yan Jiaoxi stared at the ink-painted test paper, thought for a moment, and then marked the word "A" on the test paper.

Yan Jiaoxi continued to correct the formations of other disciples. After a while, he remembered something and took out the previous test paper. The other disciples who got "B" grade were all mentioned as "A" grade.

In this way, Mo Hua is not the only disciple who has received the "A" grade.

After finishing the correction, Yan Jiaoxi sat in front of his desk and thought for a long time, murmuring:

"I probably can't stay here any longer at Tongxian Sect..."

The formation test paper was handed out. Mo Hua saw the word "A" on it and nodded, but he was curious in his heart, could other disciples in the Qi refining stage really draw the water-fixing formation...

This is the formation of six formations.

Mo Hua inquired specifically and heard that some disciples had also obtained the first grade. He was surprised and said with emotion:

"There is a sky outside the sky, and there are people outside the world. Your own formation level is not enough, so you must not be complacent!"

But what Mo Hua didn't know was that his "A" was a little different from other people's "A".

His "A" is a real "A", and the "A" that others get is actually the result of Yan Jiaoxi's infusion...

After that, Mo Hua plans to continue to practice at Tongxian Sect, learn formation techniques, and then consider choosing a technique after a while. But half a month later, he heard something extremely outrageous:

"Yan Jiaoxi is leaving Tongxian Sect. From now on, the outer sect of Tongxian Sect will no longer teach formations..."

Mo Hua stood stunned on the spot.

There is nothing left to learn about the formation...

Mo Hua went to see Yan Jiaoxi. Yan Jiaoxi looked at Mo Hua with a complicated expression and said nothing. He only told Mo Hua to go back first and come back to him in a few days.

After Mo Hua left, Yan Jiaoxi went to find Mo Guanshi. ♤

"I'm entrusting you with this matter. Do you have any news?"

Manager Mo handed Yan Jiaoxi a letter, "The person you are looking for is no longer in Tongxian City. Here are his clues, but I can't guarantee whether they are true or not."

"Thank you very much."

Manager Mo hesitated for a moment, then said: "Are you really planning to leave Tongxian Sect?"

"Not only Tongxian Sect, I will also leave Tongxian City."

"Then will you come back in the future?"

"It's hard to say," Yan Jiaoxi smiled bitterly, "Like you said, just let it go."

Guanshi Mo had words of persuasion on his lips, but after thinking about it, he didn't say anything. He knew he couldn't persuade her.

"So, where is that boy Mo Hua? What are you going to do?" Mo Guanshi said, "If you are not here, no one in Tongxian Sect can teach him..."

"I have my own plan, Mo Hua's talent for formation..."

Pretty scary...

Yan Jiaoxi said silently in his heart, but he didn't say it clearly. He just said: "...The talent is pretty good, but it's a pity that I can't learn the formation. At least I have a friendship with him as a teacher and a disciple. I will find a solution for the next thing. .”

Manager Mo nodded and looked at the senior brother in front of him. He wondered if he would see her again after this farewell. He was full of words and didn't know where to start.

The life of a monk is long, and the separation is even longer.

In the end, they were speechless, so they had to replace the wine with tea, and the two drank a cup together.

"Take care!" Mo Guanshi said.

"treasure!"

Yan Jiaoxi nodded, and under Mo Guanshi's gaze, he left Youyuanzhai and disappeared into the bustling and noisy streets.

If you can't teach the formation, there is no point in staying at the outer gate of Tongxian Sect. What's more, Yan Jiaoxi has always kept the matter of the Lingshu Formation in his heart and will not give up.

Before leaving Tongxian City, the last thing Yan Jiaoxi had to do was to find a formation master for Mo Hua. ➶➶➶➶➶➷➷➷➷➷

He prepared some fine wine and tea, and knocked on the door of a cave in North Street of Tongxian City.

This cave is one of the largest caves on the street. It is luxurious and magnificent.

The owner of the cave is one of the only two first-level formation masters in Tongxian City. His surname is Luo, and most monks respectfully call him Master Luo.

Yan Jiaoxi offered a tea ceremony to express his intention.

Master Luo had a good relationship with Yan Jiaoxi. Hearing this, he was puzzled and said: "This boy is really so talented that he actually asked Brother Yan to come to him personally."

Yan Jiaoxi showed the "Open Fire Formation" drawn by Mo Hua to Master Luo, "This is the formation he drew when he was refining the third level of Qi."

He didn't take out the "Dingshui Formation" with five and a half patterns drawn by Mo Hua because he didn't want to be too ostentatious.

And generally speaking, at the third level of Qi Refining, if you can draw three formations, your formation ability is considered outstanding.

Master Luo's eyes lit up and he nodded: "It's indeed good!"

Master Luo looked at the Minghuo Formation diagram and asked, "I wonder which family he is a descendant of? The Qian family? The An family or the Chen family?"

Yan Jiaoxi was silent for a while and said, "I'm not from a family, I'm just a casual cultivator."

Master Luo stopped talking, and the interest in his eyes faded a lot.

Yan Jiaoxi probed: "Master, what worries do you have?"

"Rogue cultivators are hard to teach..." Master Luo said.

"Brother Luo..."

Master Luo waved his hand and said: "Brother Yan, I understand everything you said, but you should know how troublesome it is to accept a casual cultivator as an apprentice."

"This kid, Mo Hua, is young, but he is well-behaved, sensible, hard-working, and very talented in formations. As long as Brother Luo can give him a little help, his future in formations will be limitless." Yan Jiaoxi said sincerely.

"That's not the case." Master Luo sighed and said:

"Not to mention the child's talent and understanding, can he afford to be a disciple of Shu Xiu alone?"

Master Luo stood up and walked slowly, "I'm not coveting these disciplines, but becoming a master and accepting disciples. There are always rules. I accept so many disciples, and each disciple pays a lot of debts." , when the time comes he is the only one who can't pay, or pays less, how can I explain it to other disciples? Even if they dare not say anything, they must have resentment in their hearts, thinking that I am biased and cannot hold a bowl of water equal. .”

"Not only Shu Xiu, who is an apprentice, but also the pen, ink, paper and inkstone for learning formations, why don't you need to spend spirit stones? Can the family of casual cultivators afford it?"

"And even if he succeeds in learning and becomes a formation master in the future, he still has only two ways to go: one is to rely on his family, and the other is to rely on his sect. If he is not attached, it will be difficult for him to practice and learn the formation. If he is to be attached, , that would be tantamount to selling yourself, your name, origin and parents have been lost, and you can’t help yourself, so how can you see me as your master in your eyes?”

"So no matter what, it won't do me any good to accept him as an apprentice or a disciple."

After Master Luo finished speaking, he sat down and took a sip of tea.

Yan Jiaoxi also remained silent. He understood what Master Luo said and had no way to refute it. Originally, he only thought that he had excellent talent in ink painting. Seeing this, Master Luo would not consider it. Now it seems that he still thinks about things too simply.

Loose cultivators without formation masters are indeed not unreasonable...

Yan Jiaoxi looked disappointed.

Seeing this, Master Luo also sighed and said in a gentle tone: "As long as he has a family background, even if it is just a collateral line or a branch, I can accept him, but the casual cultivator is different. He has too many worries, and I don't have that." Mental strength..."

"It's too difficult for casual cultivators to become formation masters!" Master Luo sighed.

Yan Jiaoxi still wanted to fight for it again, so he said: "This kid, Mo Hua, has really unique talent for formations..." As he said that, he wanted to take out the "Dingshui Formation" with five and a half formation patterns drawn in Mo Hua.

But after getting half of it, Master Luo said: "Don't say he can draw three formations. He can draw four or five formations even at the third level of Qi Refining. I won't accept it."

Yan Jiaoxi's hand stopped, and in desperation, he could only put the formation back.

"Brother Luo, is there really nothing we can do?"

"Brother Yan, you can come to my place at any time and chat about anything, but there is no room for negotiation on this matter."

"Brother Luo..." Yan Jiaoxi had nothing to say and just sighed: "Don't regret it in the future."

"Many monks have told me this, but Luo has never regretted it until now!"

The two of them were speechless, and Master Luo served tea to see the guests off.

Yan Jiaoxi sighed, looking disappointed, and stood up to leave.

After Yan Jiaoxi left, Master Luo was sitting in the room. A disciple poured tea for Master Luo and asked in a low voice: "Master, if you can really draw an open fire array at the third level of Qi refining, then your talent is really amazing."

"Yes," Master Luo picked up the tea, took a sip, and said, "But what can you do if you have high talent? Cultivation is not just about talent. How many people are amazingly talented and beautiful when they are young, but in the end they are lost to everyone?" Spiritual stones, inheritance, family background, all of these are very important. Without these, talent is just a rootless grass and will wither sooner or later."

"However, if Master gives a few reminders, then he will more or less accept Master's kindness..."

Master Luo shook his head, "You think of people's hearts too simply. Casual cultivators come from poor backgrounds and tend to have extreme personalities. If you are not careful, you will easily hold grudges. There are too many cases where favors are raised and grudges are fought. Not only is there no kindness, but there is also hatred. Why should I wade into such muddy waters?"

"What Master said is true, but it's a pity to have such a talent."

"It's a pity," Master Luo put down his teacup and sighed, "But this is life, you can't force it."
