Asking about longevity

Chapter 719 Xie Ling

"Senior brother, Brother Cheng said you could help me, so I came to ask for your help."

The disciple said very politely.

Cheng Mo on the side raised his chest and raised his head, and nodded:

"This boy's name is Xie Ling. Like me, he was born in Genzhou."

"Although Genzhou is a big place, my Cheng family and his Xie family have nothing in common. But since we both came from the same state and studied in Qianzhou, we can be considered fellow villagers. I will naturally help him if he has something to do..."

Cheng Mo patted Xie Ling's shoulder.

Xie Ling smiled gratefully.

He was much shorter than Cheng Mo. Standing next to Cheng Mo, he looked like Cheng Mo's little brother.

Mo Hua asked curiously:

"What's up?"

Xie Ling said: "I accepted several rewards to capture a sin cultivator, but that sin cultivator practiced superior fire spells and was extremely powerful. No one else could match him."

"The 'Water Armor Technique' is naturally better for defending against fire spells, but none of us have water spiritual roots, so we can't learn it."

"Even if you learn it, you may not be able to prevent it even if you just cram it for a short period of time and don't practice the magic deeply."

"Go and buy some fireproof spiritual weapons. They are either of poor quality, not of high quality, or not fire-resistant. Others are just too expensive and not worth it..."

Xie Ling felt a little worried. He looked at Mo Hua and asked in a low voice:

"Senior Brother, you..."

Mo Hua understood, took a sip of the sweet plum juice, nodded slowly and said:

"I understand, come back in three days."

Cheng Mo patted Xie Ling's shoulder again, "Thank you quickly, little senior brother."

Xie Ling looked happy and nodded hurriedly, "Thank you, little senior brother!"

After Xie Ling left, Mo Hua thought about it again.

Defense against fire spells...

If it is a positional attack, you can also rely on formations to drive water to extinguish fire, or use soil to prevent fire.

But Xie Ling and the others were mainly afraid of being killed by fire spells, so naturally it was best to use spiritual weapons for self-defense and avoidance of fire.

Mo Hua had an idea in his mind and discussed it with Master Gu.

Master Gu gave Mo Hua several choices:

"The blue water armor is a bit more expensive. It can protect against both powerful attacks and spells. It mainly resists burns from fire spells."

"The water armor robe is slightly lower cost and lighter. It mainly uses fire protection spells, but other defensive effects are much worse than the blue water armor."

"After all, one is in armor and the other is in cloth."

"These two are the most commonly used, and they are also the two types of spiritual armor that have been refined by our Gushan Weapon Refining Shop."

"There are also some other accessories that are lighter, more beautiful, and easier to carry, but this kind of spiritual weapon is fine for daily use, but in actual combat, it is far less effective than the self-defense effect of armor."

"And this kind of jewelry is not cheap, such as cold water jade, fire-proof pendant, fire-preventing hairpin..."

Mo Hua was startled when he heard this.

Fire hairpin.

He couldn't help but think of the time when he was at Tongxian Sect, drawing formations and collecting spiritual stones for his fellow sect members. The first gift he bought for his mother was a less than first-grade fire-preventing hairpin.

This kind of spiritual weapon cannot be used by ordinary casual cultivators.

Mo Hua sighed in his heart, then thought again:

"I don't know how my mother is doing in Tongxian City. She works hard at the dining hall on weekdays..."

"Have you practiced well, have you built a foundation..."

Mo Hua was a little distracted for a moment.

"Young Master?"

When Master Gu saw this, he shouted softly.

Mo Hua was startled, came back to his senses, and said with a smile: "I suddenly remembered something. Master Gu, please continue..."

Master Gu nodded and continued:

"It is more troublesome to refine this kind of spiritual weapon. If it is customized, the process will be more complicated and the cost will be higher. The price is estimated to be..."

"It's okay," Mo Hua said, "They have many spiritual stones."

Although Xie Ling looks like a little follower, he comes from a noble family and is definitely not short of money.

In the entire Taixu Sect, there is no one who is short of money.

Of course, except for ink paintings...

Master Gu was relieved now.

However, Mo Hua has a doubt, "The blue water armor can protect against everything, and on top of that, does it have extremely high fire resistance?"

Master Gu nodded, "The armor weapon must first be 'armor', and then consider other functions."

"This is the basic idea of ​​refining standard spiritual weapons."

“Do the general functions first, and then consider the specific effects.”

"Otherwise, if you buy a 'Blue Water Armor', it can only prevent fire but not anything else. That would be too useless."

"Spiritual weapons with such extreme effects have been refined by weapon refiners in the past, but this kind of spiritual weapon is destined to be unsuitable for the masses of monks. Very few people bought it, and the sales volume could not increase. The weapon refiner's losses were extremely serious. Gradually, There will be no more refining shops for refining weapons..."

Master Gu glanced at the ink painting and said, "Young master, what are your plans..."

"Well," Mo Hua nodded, "We will make this kind of extreme spiritual weapon."

"This process will definitely be simpler, the cost will be lower, and the refining time will be shorter."

"And this is a customized spiritual weapon. You don't need everything to be good, you just need to make one thing perfect."

Master Gu thought about it for a while, then he came up with an idea, nodded and said:

"This is best, just follow my instructions, young master."

After that, Mo Hua spent some time and designed the weapon refining array according to the formation method and some old weapon refining diagrams given by Master Gu.

The two discussed for another long time to perfect the details.

Master Gu went back to work.

Three days later, Xie Ling came to see Mo Hua again.

Mo Hua told him that everything was arranged, but the spiritual weapon would take some time to refine.

Xie Ling felt relieved after receiving Mo Hua's approval.

About eight days later, Master Gu refined five fire-preventing Taoist robes according to the meaning of the ink drawings, and drew the formations through the ink drawings.

These Taoist robes have no other use than to ward off fire.

But the fire-proofing effect is almost to the extreme.

Mo Hua handed these five fire-proofing robes to Xie Ling.

Xie Ling took it solemnly, and during his break, he went to arrest the sin cultivator who was good at fire magic.

Two days later, the ten-day break ended.

Xie Ling came to see Mo Hua and brought four other people with him.

Several people came to the ink painting, saluted one after another, and said in unison:

"Thank you, little senior brother!"

Xie Ling was very excited, "We wore the fire-preventing Taoist robes that you gave us, my little brother, and fought against that sin cultivator. We let his fire spells burn our bodies, but we were not afraid at all. There was only a slight burning pain. Compared with before, we were really unbelievable." One place..."

"In the last battle, we finally captured the evil man."

Several other people also looked excited.

Although they are in the same class as Mo Hua, their talents and abilities are actually not too outstanding - at least in the Taixu Sect, compared with the geniuses, they are not too outstanding.

In fact, speaking of it, they are all geniuses from the major clans in Kyushu.

But when they gather in Qianzhou, where geniuses gather, geniuses like them are no longer so "genius".

Although it is not out of the ordinary, it is still relatively "mediocre".

The pressure on them is enormous.

Unlike ink paintings, one can still feel calm and calm, and it doesn't matter.

These talented disciples must make progress.

They are burdened with the expectations of their parents and family. They have to learn everything, and they have to learn everything well, and nothing is too bad.

There are also a lot of Taoist practices in Taixu Sect and they take a lot of time.

In addition to the heavy schoolwork, their progress in completing bounties will be very slow.

Especially some talented disciples who were raised in the clan before and although they are talented, do not like to fight and are not used to fighting, they do not go out to do this kind of arrests and bounties very often.

For example, Xie Ling and others, although they are now in their third year of entry, still have very little experience in arresting criminal cultivators, and their methods are also very unfamiliar.

What's more, they are facing sin cultivators who have experienced hundreds of battles and have cunning personalities.

Stumbling at the beginning is inevitable.

Now, with the help of the Pihuo Taoist robe, he successfully defeated the "strong enemy", arrested the guilty cultivator, completed the task, accumulated experience, and earned meritorious deeds.

Several people couldn't help but feel a little excited.

Xie Ling and others specially invited Mo Hua to eat chicken legs.

According to brother Cheng Mocheng, one of the younger brothers' favorite foods is chicken legs. If you ask the younger brothers to do something, you must "offer" chicken legs.

Mo Hua ate chicken legs and chatted with Xie Ling and others.

While chatting, Mo Hua suddenly asked out of curiosity:

"Does your Genzhou Xie family also have a legacy?"

Situ Jian inherited the Lihuo sword technique, Yang Qianjun inherited the Yang family's spear technique, and Cheng Mo, who was born in Genzhou like Xie Ling, inherited the mountain-opening ax technique.

But Xie Ling...

Mo Hua really didn't see anything special about him...

Xie Ling nodded and said: "Genzhou is very mountainous. Our Xie family in Genzhou has passed down the art of Kanyu, which can identify the energy of mountains and rivers, determine the tombs of life and death, and teach the secret array of Yin and Yang Feng Shui..."

"Yin Yang Feng Shui Secret Formation?!"

Mo Hua was startled, "You know this kind of formation?"

Xie Ling said with shame: "I don't have the talent for formations. I haven't learned them yet. I've only learned some methods of identifying qi, escaping from mountains, locating tombs, and suppressing evil spirits."

The ink painting puzzled, "Distinguish the qi, escape from the mountain, locate the tomb, and suppress evil spirits?"

Xie Ling said: "Distinguish the qi of heaven and earth, use mountains and rivers to escape, read Feng Shui, determine tombs, prevent corpses from mutating, drive away ghosts, and even more advanced ones, use death to end life and reverse the destiny..."

Mo Hua's pupils trembled, and he was horrified.

End life with death, reverse the fate of heaven...

Xie Ling scratched his head and said slightly apologetically: "However, I am not good at academics. I only have some superficial knowledge. Moreover, these are all secrets passed down from my family. My grandfather told me not to say anything..."

The ink painting shows deep contemplation and ups and downs of mind.

When Xie Ling saw this, he thought Mo Hua was unhappy and said quickly:

"But little senior brother, if you are free and go to the border of Qiongyin Mountain in Genzhou, you can come to my Xie family as a guest. I can't be the master of some secret techniques, but if my grandfather agrees, maybe I can pass them on..."

Mo Hua looked solemnly, nodded deeply and said:

"good!"

Genzhou, Qiongyin Mountain state border...

The ink painting firmly remembers this place.

After that, Xie Ling offered rewards. If anyone didn't understand or was unsure, he would go to the dining hall where his disciples lived during the meal, offer a chicken drumstick, and then ask for advice on ink painting.

For things like offering rewards, I have a lot of experience in ink painting.

Even the Fire Buddha fell into his hands, let alone these "little shrimps" who committed sins.

Therefore, Xie Ling got it right every time he asked.

But if you ask something, ink painting will surely answer it.

With Mo Hua's guidance and the supporting formations and spiritual weapons, Xie Ling's subsequent bounties were very smooth and efficient.

Therefore, Xie Ling admired ink painting very much.

Although he is not very old, he knows a lot, has good formation skills, plans for the rainy days, has no plans left, and is sincere and approachable towards others.

No wonder Mr. Xun chose him as his "little senior brother".

No matter how difficult the reward is, as long as you follow the instructions of your junior brother honestly and meticulously, you will basically not miss it and the risk will be much smaller.

This is not a "little senior brother", he is simply the "grandpa" who gives guidance in the sect.

From then on, Xie Ling started to brag about Mo Hua to everyone he met.

Therefore, in the dining room, not long after Mo Hua sat down, a disciple would often come over, bow respectfully, and politely call out, "Senior Brother!"

"I have something to ask for."

"I want to buy a spiritual weapon..."

"I want to catch a criminal cultivator, but I can't catch him no matter what..."

"Senior Brother, please give me some advice..."

Among these disciples, some are familiar and some are unfamiliar.

The ink paintings are all treated equally and I try my best to answer them.

There are also all kinds of spiritual weapons that are occasionally used.

There are Sinan for investigation, spiritual mirrors for breaking concealment, armors for protecting against spells, swords, fists and feet, as well as some weapons that break armor, bleed, and carry damage from five elements of spells.

Based on these needs, Mo Hua designed the weapon refining array one by one, and Master Gu refined the finished spiritual weapon.

But then, there is a problem.

Mo Hua was too busy.

It's okay to design the weapon refining formation diagram. After all, it's related to the formation, and you can learn something from ink painting.

But for other trivial matters, especially things like buying and selling spiritual weapons, you have to set prices, settle accounts, and deliver goods back and forth, which is really a waste of time.

He thought about it and came up with a way.

During his break, Mo Hua found Master Gu and asked:

"Master Gu, does the Gu family have a merchant house, market or store in Taixu City?"

Master Gu was startled and said in surprise:

"What the young master means is..."

Mo Hua said: "All the custom-made spiritual weapons will be sold in the store. You can decide how much you make."

Although earning spiritual stones is a good thing, he has more important things to do now.

Moreover, he wanted to use these spiritual stones to subsidize Master Gu and the others.

Especially the poor weapon refiners in the Gushan Artillery Refining Shop.

It is enough for Mo Hua himself to promote the practical formations he has learned, integrate knowledge and practice, and deepen his understanding of the formations.

He himself doesn't want to earn many spiritual stones in this aspect.

The reason why he didn't go to Wenren Wan was because Mo Hua knew that Aunt Wan was also in trouble, so there was no need to bother her with such a small matter.

Master Gu was slightly shocked and immediately said:

"I'll go ask."

Although he is the golden elixir of the Gu family, he is in charge of the weapon refining shop and is not particularly familiar with the specific operations.

But he also knew that this time might really be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Master Gu used some connections to find out the specific situation, and then told Mo Hua:

"In Taixu City near Taixu Gate, the Gu family does not have many properties and only has one merchant pavilion."

"This business pavilion is not very profitable, so we sell a little bit of everything, such as elixirs, spiritual weapons, formations, etc., and we can make a little bit of it."

"I have some connections within the clan, so we discussed it and asked someone to put the customized spiritual weapons in the Merchant Pavilion for sale."

"The merchant pavilion will take 10% of the spiritual stones earned."

Mo Hua nodded.

But in fact, he doesn't know much about these business matters.

Anyway, just leave it to Master Gu to do it himself.

This matter is probably settled like this.

But even though Mo Hua didn't say anything, Wen Renwan still knew.

Near the border of Qianxue State, most of the monastic industries that the Gu family and the Wenren family cooperated with were taken care of by Wenrenwan.

Before, there were some weapon-refining shops and merchant houses owned by the Shangguan family.

But these were all taken back by the Shangguan family and leased to the Shen family.

This was Shangguan Ce's decision, and Wen Renwan had nothing to do about it.

But apart from that, some of the monastic properties of the Wen Ren family and the Gu family are still in the hands of Wen Ren Wan.

Master Gu was in the Gu family, inquiring about the news about the Shangge. Naturally, she couldn't hide these troubles.

Even if Master Gu was able to use his connections and connections to sell customized spiritual weapons in the business pavilion, Wen Renwan nodded in agreement.

Wen Renwan only agreed for the sake of Mo Hua.

Otherwise, in a fairy city like Taixu City, which is adjacent to a large sect, it would be very expensive to simply rent the spiritual stones needed for the merchant pavilion.

Even Master Gu may not be able to afford this cost.

The commission is also determined by Wen Renwan.

She kept this commission for Mo Hua.

Wen Renwan was worried that Mo Hua was being tricked into doing business with Master Gu, so he directly took 10% from Shangge. He thought that if the spiritual weapon could not be sold and the business went bad, he would at least retain some spiritual stones for Mo Hua, so that he would not let anyone lose. He suffered a loss.

The matter was settled like this, and all the custom-made spiritual weapons were sold in the Gu Family Merchant Pavilion.

Mo Hua became a hands-off shopkeeper and felt relaxed.

As more and more fellow disciples he "instructed", more and more people bought spiritual weapons, and more and more Taixu disciples became friends with him.

Mo Hua's connections in Taixu Sect are getting wider and wider.

From the ancestors who went up to the Taixu Sect, to the elders who taught classes, to the senior brothers and sisters, to the disciples of the same sect, Mo Hua all had acquaintances.

Especially among fellow sects, ink paintings are quite prestigious.

When you are in doubt, ask your junior brother. It's almost become a routine.

In the dining hall, more and more disciples worship "tangkou".

The chicken legs in the dining hall are almost sold out...
