Asking about longevity

Taking the lead? To support the scene? To save face?

Mo Hua was startled.

Bai Zisheng and Bai Zixi also looked at each other.

Mo Hua asked: "Master, what should I do?"

"It's very simple," Mr. Zhuang said with a smile, "You go and compete with them. If you beat them, you can learn the Five Elements Spiritual Formation."

"Comparing with the first-grade formation?"

"First grade."

Mo Hua's eyes lit up.

Compared with the first-level formation, he is not afraid of anyone, except of course Mr. Zhuang.

But he won't be careless.

Mo Hua frowned and said, "Master, what if the Five Elements Sect makes some small moves and I lose?"

It doesn't really matter if you lose.

Personal victory or defeat is irrelevant.

Although the Five Elements Absolute Formation is important, it is only a matter of time before you want to learn it.

The most critical issue is that if you lose, you will lose the face of your master.

Master’s face is the most important thing!

The expression in the ink painting is a bit serious.

Mr. Zhuang felt a little warm in his heart, then raised his eyebrows and said:

"Don't worry, you are my disciple, what can they do to defeat you?"

This was a bit subtle, but Mo Hua thought it made sense and couldn't help but nodded. It just looked like he was still a little worried.

Mr. Zhuang’s eyes moved slightly and he said again:

"Do you still remember what I told you back then?"

Mo Hua was a little confused and didn't know what Mr. Zhuang said.

Mr. Zhuang pretended to be sorry and sighed:

"When I came to the Five Elements Sect, I wanted to learn this unique formation, but I failed to learn it due to various reasons. Therefore, I was despised by them and lost a lot of face..."

"I can't avenge this revenge back then."

"Now I'm counting on you to find this place for me..."

Scorned and lost face?

Mo Hua's little face tensed up, and he immediately said with high morale:

"Master, don't worry! I will definitely find this place for you and kill them to pieces!"

"Learn their secret skills again and make them mad to death!"

Mr. Zhuang couldn't help but smile proudly, "Okay, kill them all, and then piss them off to death!"

When the puppet leader outside the door heard this, he couldn't help but shook his head.

At such an old age, he is still as angry and greedy as a child.

Mo Hua thought for a moment and then asked: "Master, don't you show mercy?"

Mr. Zhuang shook his head, "Not only don't you use it, you also have to be more arrogant."

"Arrogant?"

"That's right," Mr. Zhuang said, "use the skill of pretending to be in a suit that I once taught you."

"Pretending?"

I can't remember the ink painting a little bit.

Mr. Zhuang demonstrated the ink painting again.

He suppressed his gentle expression, his eyebrows became sharp, his expression became cold, and he raised his head calmly, like a sword that was born from the dust. When he looked at it, his aura was awe-inspiring, and he was like a blue dragon looking down at the world.

His grace and bearing make people dare not look directly at him.

Mr. Zhuang quickly calmed down and his expression became gentle again, "Have you remembered?"

"Uh-huh."

Mo Hua's eyes lit up and he followed suit.

He held his head high, pinched his waist, and had a look of arrogance on his fair little face.

It's just not like a dragon, but like a ferocious little tiger.

Mr. Zhuang couldn't help but touched Mo Hua's head and commented:

"It's a bit awkward, but it's okay. I'll have to practice more in the future."

"Okay, Master!" Mo Hua said obediently.

The old man looked at the pair of master and disciple, and his expression became even more speechless...

Mr. Zhuang ordered Mo Hua again:

"In a few days, you will take the lead and stand up for your senior brothers and sisters. Whoever beats you will be able to compete with your senior brothers and sisters in formations."

When Mr. Zhuang said this, Mo Hua understood:

"I am the threshold!"

Anyone who wants to enter and compete with his senior brothers and sisters must first cross his own threshold.

Mr. Zhuang nodded happily.

This kid is just smart.

Bai Zisheng on the side felt a little guilty, "Master, my formation skills are not as good as my junior brother..."

Bai Zisheng is very self-aware. Although he is a senior brother, his formation skills are far inferior to Mo Hua's.

If someone can really win Mo Hua, then he will definitely not be his opponent.

Fortunately, Bai Zixi's formation level is not as good as Mo Hua's, but it is still very high.

But he will reveal his secret.

Mr. Zhuang smiled lightly and said: "It doesn't matter, your junior brother's threshold is very high..."

Moreover, it is still unattainable "high".

Mr. Zhuang thought of the ink paintings during his Qi refining period and was still a little amazed at the current level of formations.

The ink painting was praised by Mr. Zhuang, and his face was smiling again.

…

In the next few days, the Five Elements Sect was calm on the surface, but secretly people were coming and going, sending letters and bargaining...

Head Liao welcomed and sent him off.

The elders move around frequently.

Some strange disciples also appeared quietly in the Five Elements Sect...

Mr. Zhuang sat in front of the window and watched all this, calmly and calmly.

A few days later, Master Liao came to invite Mr. Zhuang and said respectfully:

"The discussion meeting is about to begin. Please invite Mr. Zhuang and several of his disciples to move to the Hidden Formation Pavilion."

Mr. Zhuang nodded slightly, stood up and said to the ink painting and Bai Zisheng Bai Zixi:

"Let's go."

…

Talk about Taoism.

It is a gathering of monks discussing Taoism.

It is also a general name for various meetings of monks.

When the monks gather together, they can discuss cultivation, knowledge, weapon refining, elixir refining, formations, and even raising spiritual beasts, cats and dogs.

The Five Elements Sect’s Dao Discussion Meeting is mainly to demonstrate the formation.

The Hidden Formation Pavilion is the monastic attic used by the sect to store formations.

It contains formation books, formation diagrams, precious ink, ancient pens, precious formation paper, and a series of formation-related monastic matters.

The Hidden Formation Pavilion is a secret place and one of the places where the sect holds important monastic meetings.

The Five Elements Sect once established its sect based on formations, but now it relies on earth and wood to build its sect. Therefore, the hidden formation pavilion is very large and luxurious.

The Tibetan Formation Pavilion has four floors.

The venue for the Taoist Forum is on the widest floor, decorated with carved beams and painted buildings, and is magnificent.

At this time, all the pen and ink desks were ready, and the disciples of the Five Elements Sect were already seated.

Sitting there were the Great Elder of the Five Elements Sect, Head Liao, as well as other elders and guests.

The Great Elder, who had been in seclusion for a long time, came out.

Next to the great elder, there were also two old men in rich clothes and gold crowns and jade ornaments. They had strong auras and were clearly two great monks in the golden elixir realm.

At this time, the great elder was discussing in a low voice with the two old men:

"...This person's surname is Zhuang, and he has a great background. It's not appropriate to go into details..."

"This is an agreement made by our ancestors, and we must abide by it..."

"But the sect is in a state of decline and is no longer what it used to be...they bullied us to the point..."

"...covets my Five Elements Sect, the ancestral formation..."

"Please two old friends, please do! Help me with the Five Elements Sect!"

The great elder deliberately acted miserably and spoke sincerely.

The other two old men said, "Definitely, definitely!", but their expressions were dull and indifferent.

The great elder scolded them in his mind.

What a mature person!

The older you get, the more worldly you become.

They are two iron roosters who can't afford to start early without profit.

The First Elder cupped his hands and said: "Headmaster Chu, Brother Shen... after the matter is completed, I will give you a generous gift..."

The great elder's hand was hidden in his sleeve, and he secretly made a number of spiritual stones so that both old men could see it.

Both of them's eyes lit up.

The old man named Shen is the ancestor of the Shen family in the nearby Sishui City, a family of formations, and an early-stage practitioner of Jindan.

His originally cold face immediately broke out into a smile, and his tone was very familiar:

"The Great Elder is too polite, but disrespectful, yet disrespectful..."

After that, the ancestor of the Shen family said seriously again:

"The Taoist court is unified, and the monks must act according to the rules. No matter how powerful the background is, they must act according to the rules. As the saying goes, a strong dragon will not suppress a local snake. Don't worry, First Elder, I will handle this justice for you!"

He is the ancestor of the Shen family.

The Shen family has a great cause and many disciples, and consumes a lot of spiritual stones. No amount is too much.

The great elder cursed in his heart, "You are an old man who is blind to money." With a smile on his face, he raised his hands and praised:

"Brother Shen has a warm heart, I admire him!"

On the other side, the well-dressed Sect Master Chu pondered for a moment, and then said after thinking for a moment:

"Brother, I don't want this spiritual stone."

No spiritual stones...

Not only was the great elder unhappy, but he was alarmed.

Just because he doesn't want the spirit stone doesn't mean he really doesn't want it.

It is very possible that the spirit stone is not to his liking.

This head of Chu is the supreme head of the Zhenxuan Sect. He is old and has long abdicated, with a false title. However, in the sect, he is highly virtuous and respected, and he still keeps his word.

Array Xuanmen is proficient in formations and doesn't value spirit stones that much.

As expected, Head Chu continued:

"It's not easy for your Five Elements Sect to earn some spiritual stones. Why am I so embarrassed to add insult to injury..."

The ancestor of the Shen family next to him was unhappy.

What's the meaning?

Wanting a spiritual stone is just adding insult to injury?

But he has lived a long time, and he still has some time to cultivate his energy.

An old face, full of wrinkles, with no trace of happiness or anger.

The great elder frowned, "Brother Chu..."

Head Chu continued: "All I need is to borrow your Five Elements Mountain Protection Formation to take a look..."

The great elder suddenly changed his expression and said hurriedly:

"No, this will never work!"

The Five Elements Mountain Protection Formation?

You're thinking shit!

How can I show you the formation map of the great formation?

Doesn't this mean that I've exposed all my family assets to you?

This old immortal!

The great elder cursed in his heart.

The ancestor of the Shen family on the side also said in a strange way:

"Spiritual stones are something external to the body, formations are the foundation of one's life. Getting some spiritual stones is good, but greedy for other people's wealth is a bit shameless..."

Head Chu was not angry, but bargained:

"I can just watch one product."

"Not even one grade."

"Don't look at the array diagram of the instance, just look at the simplified diagram."

"Brother Chu, don't make things difficult for me..."

Head Chu then straightened his face and said, "Brother, you can't trust me?"

"This is not a question of whether you believe it or not..."

Head Chu knew the Great Elder’s concerns and said:

"The first-grade formation and the second-grade formation are very different in difficulty, and the formation patterns are completely different. Even though the formation hubs are somewhat similar, they are still two completely different types of formations in essence..."

"What your Five Elements Sect has established is a second-grade formation."

"I only looked at the first-level formation map. It actually has no impact on your Five Elements Sect."

The great elder hesitated, "This..."

Head Chu sighed and said with emotion:

"Chu has no other aspirations in this life, he just wants to understand the formation map."

"Now that your Five Elements Sect is in danger, I step forward and speak out for you. For the sake of our past friendship..."

"Now that I have made such a small request, brother, you are blocking me and trying to prevaricate me. It would be too chilling for me..."

Head Chu looked disappointed.

But the great elder knew in his heart that he was retreating in order to advance, taking the opportunity to threaten himself.

If he wasn't shown the formation map, he would just stand by and not help their Five Elements Sect.

The key is that their Xuanmen formation is based on the formation method and is very powerful.

The Five Elements Sect is gradually declining, but the Formation Xuanmen is working hard to become stronger. Among the disciples in the sect, there are many formation geniuses.

If this guy surnamed Chu doesn't help, it's hard to say whether he will win or lose.

The disciples of the Five Elements Sect alone, as well as the geniuses of several families such as the Shen family, really may not be able to compete with Mr. Zhuang and that pair of brother and sister.

The great elder thought for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said:

"Okay! For the sake of our hundreds of years of friendship, I promise you!"

Head Chu looked happy.

The great elder then added: "However, you can only look at this formation diagram in the Hidden Formation Pavilion, and you can only look at it for one day, and you are not allowed to take it away."

Head Chu frowned, "What can you tell in one day?"

Although there is only the first level, it is a large formation after all...

The array patterns are complex, the array hubs are profound, and there are many single arrays.

Although he is in the Golden Core realm, he is only a second-level high-level formation master. He is not very confident that he can master a first-level formation in one day.

Head Chu thought about it again and felt that it was not that he was not very sure, but that he was not sure at all...

"Three days!"

Head Chu said: "In three days, I will take a look at this big formation diagram!"

The great elder cursed again in his heart.

Three days?

Is that a look?

The time you spent looking at this glance was too long, right?

"Two days!" said the great elder.

Head Chu immediately pushed forward, "Two and a half days!"

The great elder said firmly: "Just two days! If it doesn't work, forget it, I will find someone else..."

"Okay!" Head Chu immediately agreed, "Two days! Just two days!"

The ancestor of the Shen family couldn't bear to look down on it, and said indifferently:

"They are all Jindan monks, ancestors of the sect, not bargaining hawkers in the market, arrogant and arrogant for some petty profits..."

Although he said it in a sinister tone, he actually felt very regretful in his heart.

If he had known earlier, he should have bargained!

The world is prosperous, and everyone is here for profit.

The world is full of hustle and bustle, all for the benefit of others.

For the sake of spiritual stones, don’t be shabby.

Take advantage of this opportunity, waste some words and get more benefits, which is better than anything else.

It's a pity, it's too late...

He couldn't slap himself on something he had already promised and then go back and raise the price.

People can be shameless, but they cannot be so shameless...

The ancestor of the Shen family sighed.

Immediately, he felt a little strange in his heart. What could Sect Master Chu do in two days to see the first-grade Five Elements Mountain Protection Formation without leaving a large amount of spiritual stones?

The ancestor of the Shen family glanced at Head Chu, his gaze somewhat meaningful, but he did not pursue it further.

After the interests were discussed, the great elder began to discuss the next arrangements:

"That man has three disciples in total."

"Among the three, the young disciple is a first-grade formation master at a young age."

"There are two others, a pair of brothers and sisters, with astonishing aptitudes, whose details cannot be seen, and the level of their formations is unknown, but since they are senior brothers and sisters, they must be even more unfathomable than that young apprentice."

"At least it's the first grade!"

"And he must be a senior first-grade formation master!"

The Great Elder was a little embarrassed to say it, but he still said:

"That little formation master can still handle it with the strength of our Five Elements Sect."

"But for his pair of amazingly talented senior brothers and sisters, we are not sure..."

The elder raised his hands to Head Chu and the ancestors of the Shen family and said:

"At that time, I have to ask the Formation Xuanmen and the talented disciples of the Shen family to help me, win the battle, and preserve the inheritance of my Five Elements Sect!"

Head Chu nodded and said, "This is natural."

He also wanted to take this opportunity to show off the strength of the Xuanmen Formation.

Let everyone know that after the decline of the Five Elements Sect, their Formation Xuanmen was the real leader in the Formation Dao.

The Five Elements Sect set up a stage and they sang operas.

What a perfect fit.

The ancestor of the Shen family was thinking about the large amount of spiritual stones and the first-grade Five Elements Mountain Protection Formation, but he was a little confused and couldn't help but frown and asked the elder:

"That man's disciple is really so powerful, is it worth paying such a high price for you?"

The great elder's eyebrows jumped.

In the past, the Five Elements Sect was full of talented people, and naturally they were not afraid to compete with Mr. Zhuang's disciples - unless these disciples really had Mr. Zhuang's unparalleled understanding and talent...

The great elder sighed in his heart.

To be fair, they can't compare with Mr. Zhuang.

But again, over the years, there has only been one Mr. Zhuang.

Mr. Zhuang's disciple is not Mr. Zhuang after all. No matter how powerful he is, there will always be a limit.

The great elder then had the idea of ​​​​discussing the Tao and competing in formations.

Although the Five Elements Sect is not good, the great elder is unwilling to admit it. He has ruined his face and lost his prestige, so he said:

"Their talents are extremely good. How good the formation is, we have to compare it to know..."

"It is possible that he is not the opponent of my Five Elements Sect disciples..."

The great elder began to flatter himself, and then said tactfully:

"However, it is related to the sect's inheritance. Since the matter is serious, I have to be cautious and act carefully to avoid an accident and the sect's inheritance falling into the hands of others."

"Even if you pay some price, it's worth it!"

Head Chu and the ancestor of the Shen family also nodded.

Even if they look down on the Five Elements Sect's formation level now, there is no problem with the Great Elder's thinking.

It’s a matter of sect’s top-secret inheritance, so it’s right to be cautious.

Head Chu said: "Don't worry, Great Elder, the Five Elements Sect is named after the Five Elements Spiritual Formation, and this sect of ultimate formation will definitely remain in the Five Elements Sect, and no one can learn it!"

The Great Elder was overjoyed and said, "Thank you so much, Master Chu!"

The ancestor of the Shen family frowned and said: "But if you dare to covet the Jue Formation, I guess these disciples must have great talents."

Head Chu said calmly: "No problem!"

He sneered, "The formation is extensive and profound. It requires both talent and hard work. Even if you have talent, you can't be proficient in everything."

"Array patterns, array hubs, array eyes, array principles, and some profound array methods, it is impossible to cover everything."

"A ruler is longer, an inch is shorter."

"No matter how talented the formation master is, they are all the same."

"If Mr. Zhuang's disciples are of average strength, we will defeat them openly, teach them how to do things, and let them realize the breadth and depth of the formation and the mystery of its principles."

"Let them understand that there is heaven outside the world and there are people outside the world."

"If they are indeed talented and have excellent formations..."

"Then use your own strengths to attack the other party's weaknesses!"

"We have so many disciples, each of whom is good at it. There is always something better than them. In this way, we can beat them."

"Although there are some victories without force, the inheritance of the sect is a big matter, so there is no need to stick to these details."

"A win is a win, a loss is a loss."

"Since you dare to come to learn formations, you must be mentally prepared. If your skills are inferior to others, they have no shame in reasoning!"

…

The great elder nodded and praised: "Okay!"

The ancestor of the Shen family also stroked his beard and called him "Shan".

After the discussion, they sat upright and waited for Mr. Zhuang and others.

The bustling disciples in the Zangzhen Pavilion gradually became quiet...

Half an hour later, Mr. Zhuang led Mo Hua and three others into the Tibetan Formation Pavilion in front of everyone.

The Zangzhen Pavilion became even quieter instantly, and you could hear a needle drop.

The three golden elixir ancestors who were closing their eyes to rest their minds all opened their eyes. Their old eyes were full of light as they looked at the people who came in.

This is Mr. Zhuang!

Sure enough, his immortal spirit is unparalleled in the world.

The man and woman behind are the brother and sister?

As expected, the dragon and the phoenix are as beautiful as the dragon and the phoenix, and their integrity is impeccable.

The one at the back...

The three of them were stunned.

Why do you look so small?

Although they all knew in advance that he was a junior formation master who was in his teens and had reached the first level, they still found it incredible when they saw it with their own eyes.

Too young...

Is this a first-grade formation master?

Are you kidding...

They discussed it seriously for a long time, but the result was this little kid.

Isn't it bullying to compare with him?
