Asking about longevity

"Junior Brother, Brother Cheng said you can help me, so I came to ask you for help." The disciple said politely. Cheng Mo, who was standing by, raised his head and nodded: "This kid is called Xie Ling. Like me, he was born in Genzhou." "Although Genzhou is very big, my Cheng family and his Xie family have no intersection, but since we are from the same state and both studied in Qianzhou, we are fellow villagers. I will naturally help him if he has any problems..." Cheng Mo patted Xie Ling's shoulder. Xie Ling smiled gratefully. He was much shorter than Cheng Mo, and standing next to Cheng Mo, he looked like Cheng Mo's younger brother. Mo Hua asked curiously:

"What's the matter?"

Xie Ling said: "I accepted a few bounties to arrest a criminal, but that criminal practiced superior fire magic, which was extremely powerful, and none of us could defeat him."

"To defend against fire magic, the 'Water Armor Technique' is naturally better, but none of us have water spiritual roots, so we can't learn it."

"Even if we learn it, it's a short-term cram school, and the magic practice is not deep, so it may not be able to defend."

"Go buy some fire-proof spiritual tools, or the grade is not good, Either the quality is not good enough, or the fire resistance is not good, and some are too expensive and not worth it..."

Xie Ling was a little worried, looked at Mo Hua, and asked in a low voice:

"Junior Brother, you..."

Mo Hua understood, drank a sip of sweet plum juice, and nodded slowly:

"I know, come back in three days."

Cheng Mo patted Xie Ling's shoulder again, "Thank you, Junior Brother."

Xie Ling looked happy and nodded hurriedly, "Thank you, Junior Brother!"

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

Defense against fire spells...

If it is a position attack, you can also rely on the array to set up the array, drive water to extinguish the fire, or use soil to prevent fire.

But Xie Ling and others are mainly afraid of being killed by fire spells, so it is naturally best to use spiritual tools for self-defense and fire avoidance.

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

Master Gu gave Mo Hua several choices:

"The Green Water Armor is a bit more expensive. It can defend against both force attacks and spell damage, and is mainly used to defend against fire spell burns."

"The Water Armor Robe is slightly cheaper and lighter. It is mainly used to defend against fire spells. Its other defensive effects are much worse than the Green Water Armor."

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

"These two are the most commonly used, and they are also the two spiritual weapon armors that our Gushan Refining Shop has ever refined."

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

"And this kind of accessories is not cheap, such as cold water jade, fireproof pendant, fireproof hairpin..."

Mo Hua was stunned when he heard this.

Fireproof hairpin.

He couldn't help but remember that when he was in Tongxianmen, he saved spirit stones for drawing formations for his fellow disciples, and the first gift he bought for his mother was a fireproof hairpin of less than the first grade.

Ordinary casual cultivators can't afford this kind of spiritual weapon.

Mo Hua sighed in his heart, and then thought:

"I don't know how my mother is doing in Tongxian City. Is she tired of working in the dining hall every day..."

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

Mo Hua was a little distracted for a while.

"Young Master?"

Master Gu called softly when he saw this.

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

Master Gu nodded and continued:

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

"It's okay," Mo Hua said, "They have a lot of spiritual stones."

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

There is no one in the entire Taixu Sect who is short of money.

Of course, except Mo Hua...

Master Gu is relieved.

However, Mo Hua had a doubt, "The Jade Water Armor can defend against everything, and then on this basis, it has extremely high fire resistance?"

Master Gu nodded, "For an armor spiritual weapon, it must first be 'armor', and then consider other functions."

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

"First do the general functions, then consider the specific effects."

"Otherwise, if you buy a 'Jade Water Armor' that can only defend against fire and nothing else, it would be too useless."

"This kind of spiritual weapon with extreme effects was also refined by the weapon refinery in the past, but this kind of spiritual weapon is destined to be unsuitable for the general cultivators. Few people buy it, and the sales volume is not high. The loss of the weapon refinery is extremely high. Serious, gradually no one will refine it anymore..."

Master Gu glanced at Mo Hua, "Young Master, what do you plan to do..."

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

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

"Besides, this is a custom spiritual weapon, we don't need to be good at everything, we just need to make one thing perfect."

Master Gu pondered for a while, and then he had an idea, nodded and said:

"This is the best, I will do it, young master."

After that, Mo Hua spent some time designing the refining array diagram based on the array formation and some old refining diagrams given by Master Gu.

The two discussed for a long time and perfected the details.

Master Gu went back to work.

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

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

Getting Mo Hua's confirmation, Xie Ling felt relieved.

About eight days later, Master Gu refined five fire-proof robes according to Mo Hua's instructions, and drew formations on them through Mo Hua.

These robes have no other uses, only fire-proof.

But the effect of fire-proofing is almost perfect.

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

Xie Ling took them solemnly, and went to arrest the criminal who was good at fire magic during the ten-day break.

Two days later, the ten-day break was over.

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

Several people came to Mo Hua, saluted one after another, and said in unison:

"Thank you, junior brother!"

Xie Ling was very excited, "We wore the fire-proof robes you gave us, and fought with the criminal. We let his fire magic burn on our bodies, but we were not afraid at all, and only felt a slight burning pain. Compared with the previous time, it was really a world of difference..."

"In the last fight, we finally took down the evil man."

The other people were also excited. Although they were in the same class as Mo Hua, their talents and abilities were not outstanding—at least, in Taixu Sect, compared with the other geniuses, they were not outstanding.

In fact, they were all geniuses from the major clans in Jiuzhou.

But when they gathered in Qianzhou, where geniuses gathered, these geniuses were not so "geniuses".

Although they were not lost in the crowd, they were relatively "mediocre".

They were under great pressure.

Unlike Mo Hua, who was ranked first and sixth in the imperial examination, he could be calm and composed.

These genius disciples must make progress.

They carried the expectations of their parents and the family. They had to learn everything, and they had to learn everything well. Nothing could be too bad.

There were also many cultivation courses in Taixu Sect, which took a lot of time.

In addition to the heavy schoolwork, their progress in doing bounties would be very slow.

Especially some genius disciples who were previously raised in the clan. Although they had good talents, they did not like fighting and were not used to fighting. They did not go out to do this kind of bounty very often.

For example, Xie Ling and his friends, although they have been in the sect for the third year, still have little experience in arresting criminals, and their methods are very unfamiliar.

Moreover, they are facing experienced criminals with cunning minds.

It is inevitable to stumble at the beginning.

Now, with the help of the fire-breaking Taoist robe, they have successfully defeated the "strong enemy", arrested the criminals, completed the task, accumulated experience, and earned merits.

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

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

According to Cheng Mo, one of the favorite foods of the junior brother is chicken legs. If you ask the junior brother to do something, you must "offer" chicken legs.

Mo Hua ate chicken legs and chatted with Xie Ling and his friends.

As they chatted, Mo Hua suddenly asked curiously:

"Does your Xie family in Genzhou also have inheritance?"

Situ Jian inherited the Lihuo sword method, Yang Qianjun inherited the Yang family spear method, and Cheng Mo, who was born in Genzhou like Xie Ling, inherited the Kaishan axe method.

But Xie Ling...

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

Xie Ling nodded and said, "Genzhou is mountainous. Our Xie family in Genzhou has inherited the art of geomancy, identifying the qi of mountains and rivers, determining life and death, and passing on the secret formation of yin and yang feng shui..."

"The secret formation of yin and yang feng shui?!"

Mo Hua was shocked, "You know this formation?"

Xie Ling said ashamedly, "I don't have a talent for formations, so I didn't learn it. I only learned some methods of identifying qi, hiding in mountains, locating tombs, and suppressing evil spirits."

Mo Hua was puzzled, "Identify qi, hide in mountains, locate tombs, and suppress evil spirits?"

Xie Ling said, "Identify the qi of heaven and earth, use mountains and rivers to hide, look at feng shui, locate tombs, prevent corpses from turning into corpses, and drive away ghosts. There are also more advanced ones, using death to stop life, and changing the will of heaven..."

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

To end life with death, to change the destiny...

Xie Ling scratched his head and said apologetically: "However, I am not very good at learning, I just know a little bit, and these are all family secrets, my grandfather told me not to tell..."

Mo Hua's eyes were thoughtful, and his mood fluctuated.

Seeing this, Xie Ling thought Mo Hua was unhappy, and hurriedly said:

"But little brother, if you have time, go to the border of Qiongyin Mountain in Genzhou, you can come to my Xie family as a guest. I can't decide some secrets, but if my grandfather agrees, maybe I can pass them on..."

Mo Hua looked serious and nodded deeply:

"Okay!"

Genzhou, Qiongyin Mountain Border...

Mo Hua remembered this place firmly.

...

After that, when Xie Ling offered a reward, if he didn't understand or was unsure, he would run to the dining hall of the disciples' residence during dinner, offer a chicken leg, and then ask Mo Hua for advice.

Mo Hua was very experienced in offering rewards.

Even the Fire Buddha fell into his hands, not to mention these "small shrimps" who were guilty.

Therefore, Xie Ling answered all his questions accurately.

But Mo Hua would answer any questions he asked.

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

Therefore, Xie Ling admired Mo Hua very much.

Although he was not very old, he knew a lot, had a good formation, was prepared for a rainy day, had no omissions, and was sincere and amiable to others.

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

And no matter how difficult the bounty was, as long as he was honest and meticulous in doing what the little senior brother told him to do, he would basically not fail, and the risk was much smaller.

This was not a "little senior brother", but simply an "old grandfather" who gave guidance in the sect.

After that, Xie Ling would brag about Mo Hua to everyone he met.

Therefore, in the dining hall, not long after Mo Hua sat down, disciples often came over, bowed respectfully, and called politely, "Junior Brother!"

"I have a favor to ask."

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

"I want to catch a criminal cultivator, but I can't catch him..."

"Please, Junior Brother, give me some advice..."

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

Mo Hua treated them all equally and tried his best to answer them.

The spiritual weapons that were occasionally used were also varied.

There were Si Nan for reconnaissance, spiritual mirrors for breaking invisibility, armor for defending against spells, swords, fists and feet, and some weapons that broke armor, caused bleeding, and had five elements of magic damage.

For these needs, Mo Hua also designed the refining array diagram according to the array formation, and refined the finished spiritual weapon with Master Gu.

But then there was a problem.

Mo Hua was too busy.

It was okay to design the refining array diagram, after all, it was related to the array formation, and Mo Hua could learn something.

But other trivial matters, especially the sale of spiritual tools, require pricing, accounting, and delivery, which is a waste of time.

He pondered and came up with a solution.

During the ten-day break, Mo Hua found Master Gu and asked:

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

Master Gu was startled and said in surprise:

"What the young master means is..."

Mo Hua said: "All customized spiritual tools will be sold in the store. You can figure out how much you make."

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

And he wants to use these spiritual stones to subsidize Master Gu and others.

Especially those poor refiners in Gushan Refining Shop.

Mo Hua himself promotes the practical application of the formations he has learned, integrates knowledge and practice, and deepens his understanding of formations. This is enough.

He himself does not want to earn many spiritual stones in this regard.

The reason why he didn't look for Wenren Wan was because Mo Hua knew that Aunt Wan had her own difficulties, 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 was the Jindan of the Gu family, he was in charge of the weapon refining business and was not particularly familiar with the specific business.

But he also knew that this 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 has few industries, only one business pavilion."

"This business pavilion is not profitable, so we sell a little bit of everything, such as elixirs, spiritual tools, and formations, and we earn a little bit."

"I have some connections in the clan, so we have discussed it and asked someone to put the customized spiritual tools in the business pavilion to sell."

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

Mo Hua nodded.

But in fact, he didn't understand these business matters very well.

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

This matter is probably settled.

But even though Mo Hua didn't say it, Wen Ren Wan still knew it.

Near the border of Qianxuezhou, most of the cultivation industries that the Gu family and the Wen family cooperated on were taken care of by Wen Ren Wan.

Before, there were some equipment refining shops and business pavilions of the Shangguan family.

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

This was Shangguan Ce's decision, and Wen Ren Wan had no choice.

But apart from that, some cultivation industries of the Wen family and the Gu family were still in Wen Ren Wan's hands.

Master Gu asked about the news of the business pavilion in the Gu family, and these little things could not be hidden from her.

Even Master Gu was able to use his connections and get through the relationship to sell customized spiritual tools in the business pavilion, and it was Wen Ren Wan who nodded and agreed.

Wen Ren Wan agreed only for Mo Hua's sake.

Otherwise, in an immortal city like Taixu City, which is adjacent to a large sect, the spiritual stones required for simply renting a business pavilion are very expensive.

Master Gu might not be able to afford this cost.

The commission was also set by Wen Renwan.

She kept this commission for Mo Hua.

Wen Renwan was worried that Mo Hua would be cheated when doing business with Master Gu, so she directly took 10% from the business pavilion, thinking that if the spiritual tools could not be sold and the business failed, she would at least intercept some spiritual stones for Mo Hua so that he would not suffer losses.

The matter was settled, and from then on, the customized spiritual tools were sold in the Gu family business pavilion.

Mo Hua became a hands-off shopkeeper, feeling relaxed.

As more and more of his fellow disciples "instructed", more and more people bought spiritual tools, and more and more Taixu disciples had friendships with him.

Mo Hua's network of contacts in Taixu Sect also became wider and wider.

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

Especially among his fellow disciples, Mo Hua was quite prestigious.

When he was undecided, he asked the junior brother. It has almost become a routine.

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

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