Asking about longevity

More and more fellow disciples were "instructed" by Mo Hua.

The customized spiritual weapons were refined more and more.

The designed weapon refining array diagrams were also accumulated more and more.

Mo Hua thought about it and simply collected these array diagrams, which gradually became a system of customized spiritual weapons.

This system of spiritual weapons is very comprehensive.

It includes functions such as reconnaissance, surveillance, and early warning to anticipate the enemy's moves;

It includes arrays such as quicksand, earth prison, golden locks, and wooden binding to trap the enemy;

It includes armor for sword slashing, spear blade stabbing, fist and foot strikes, and other physical defense;

It also includes Taoist robes for magic defense such as fire, water, wood, and poison...

There are only a few attacking spiritual weapons.

Because the offensive spiritual weapons used by the children of the aristocratic families are mostly inherited spiritual weapons from their ancestors.

The customized weapons made by Mo Hua are definitely not as powerful as these inherited spiritual weapons.

Most of the spiritual weapons he customized are of specific functions.

For example, armor-breaking blades are used to break the enemy's hard armor.

Or they can be swords with fire, water, gold, etc., to supplement the means of attribute attack for disciples who lack spiritual root attributes.

But the children of aristocratic families still pay attention to "one force to break all methods".

With the best spiritual roots, deep foundation, and superior skills and Taoism, they rely on their strength to suppress the enemy.

They don't pay much attention to small tricks such as attribute generation and restraint.

So they don't use this kind of attack spiritual weapon very much, and Mo Hua doesn't design many.

But despite this, this set of customized spiritual weapons has taken shape.

The formation and spiritual weapon system already has a basic framework and prototype.

It integrates early warning, trapping enemies, attacking, and defense.

In the future, as long as the spiritual weapon and formation are continuously improved, iterated, supplemented, and improved, this system will shine.

However, after careful consideration, Mo Hua found that this system seemed to be missing a piece:

Spiritual power amplification.

In other words, it is...

"Five Elements Source Formation!"

Mo Hua's eyes lit up slightly, and then he frowned.

The Five Elements Source Formation was the sect-defining formation of the Five Elements Sect in the past. It can strengthen the five elements and increase spiritual power.

This is a very powerful formation, but Mo Hua has only used it a few times since he arrived at Qianxuezhou.

One reason is that he can't use it.

At first, he followed his senior brothers and sisters.

The senior brothers and sisters have deep cultivation and strong strength.

The enemies they can beat don't need the Five Elements Source Formation to increase their strength.

Only the time when they captured the vulture, with the increase of the Five Elements Gold Source Formation, Senior Sister Murong killed the vulture with a superior Taoist method that condensed five-colored rays of light.

But it was only this time.

And if you can't beat an enemy, it's best not to fight him at all.

A gentleman doesn't stand under a dangerous wall. Unless it's absolutely necessary, there's no need to take risks and fight a strong enemy to the death.

Through the five elements source array to increase spiritual power, to compete for the superiority, to fight life and death, life and death is only a thin line, if you are not careful, you will die.

So don't fight if you can.

Second, the five elements source array is very demanding to use.

The cultivator must stand in the array to be strengthened by the five elements source array. Once out of the array range, the spiritual power will not be increased.

This is equivalent to a living target.

Especially for spiritual cultivators, high attack and low defense, relying on spells to eat, in the battle of life and death, they are especially afraid of physical cultivators getting close.

Under the amplification of the five elements source array, although the power of spells has increased, its actions are also more restricted, and it really becomes a fixed "glass cannon".

It can be said that there are advantages and disadvantages.

But the advantages are greater, and the disadvantages are greater.

For physical cultivators, the five elements source array also seems a bit useless.

The five elements source array strengthens the five elements and increases spiritual power.

Physical cultivators rely on their strong blood and powerful strength to kill at close range, but they also have spiritual root attributes, and blood itself is transformed from spiritual power through the meridians.

So although physical cultivators are not good at spells, they can also be amplified by the Five Elements Source Array.

However, because of the transformation of spiritual power to blood, the effect of physical cultivators being amplified by the Five Elements is far less than that of spiritual cultivators who directly use spells.

The biggest problem of physical cultivators is also limited movement.

In close combat, advance and retreat must be flexible, and they rely more on body skills.

In real combat, they will fight quickly and rush each other, and it is even more impossible to stay in the range of the Five Elements Source Array and be bound by their hands and feet.

Otherwise, they will not only be targets, but also look like fools.

So the Five Elements Source Array looks very strong, but the actual conditions for use are harsh and will be constrained by various factors.

Unless...

Mo Hua pondered for a moment.

The Five Elements Source Array is engraved in spiritual tools such as armor and Taoist robes.

Wear it with you, it is convenient to move and unrestricted.

This is the best solution.

It was just that there were no conditions before, and Mo Hua could not find anyone to refine this special armor or robe.

He was busy practicing formations and going out to do bounties, so he had no time to think about this.

And now...

Mo Hua thought about it carefully.

He was "confined" to the sect, and happened to be researching custom spiritual tools, and there was a third-grade refiner, Master Gu, to help.

The right time, the right place, and the right people.

He could take this opportunity to study the practical application of the Five Elements Source Formation.

If the research is done well, this sect-suppressing formation that made the Five Elements Sect famous in the past, but is now on the verge of extinction, can be regarded as "re-emerging"!

And this formation can just make up for the last link in the formation and spiritual tool system he constructed:

Spiritual power amplification!

Mo Hua's eyes lit up, and his thoughts gradually became clear.

Integration of cultivation industry.

Combining refining equipment with formations, and finally applying it to cultivators.

Build a complete formation equipment auxiliary system that integrates detection, trapping enemies, attacking, defending, and amplification!

This system will be used on the disciples of the sect first to earn some spiritual stones.

Then, with the support of spiritual stones, it will be continuously improved.

One day, when this set of formations and the process of refining equipment are mature, and his own experience is rich, he can promote it and try to transfer it to the lower-level cultivation world to develop various relatively economical and cheap spiritual tools for cultivation production, as well as simple and easy-to-learn matching formations.

From cultivators killing to cultivation production.

From customization to standardization.

From expensive to cheap.

In this way, it will be popularized little by little...

"Understand the way of heaven and benefit all living beings."

A real formation should not only serve a few people, but should truly benefit all people in the world.

Mo Hua was startled, and suddenly realized that his understanding of the heaven and earth array was becoming more and more profound...

After that, Mo Hua could not wait to start researching the armor and robes suitable for the "Five Elements Source Array".

However, this kind of armor is very special.

The inheritance of the Five Elements Absolute Array is on the verge of extinction, and there are almost no records of matching spiritual tools or array media.

Even if there are, Mo Hua can't find it.

He can only explore it little by little by himself, and then discuss it with Master Gu.

This will also take some time.

About a month later, Master Gu came to Taixu Gate in person, talked with Mo Hua, and then drafted a prototype of a set of armor.

Master Gu planned to go back and refine it first.

He was not sure about the effect, after all, Mo Hua's requirements were very strange, and he had never refined similar spiritual tools.

But Master Gu didn't ask much.

After all, the problem of the array was too complicated and obscure, and he didn't understand it. He only needed to be responsible for the problem of refining.

After the discussion, Master Gu left Taixu Gate and went to the Shang Pavilion in the city.

The customized spiritual weapon was sold, and he was going to get the spiritual stones.

And this month, the spiritual weapons sold very well, which was a large amount of spiritual stones.

In Taixu City, in the Gu family's business pavilion.

When the manager of the business pavilion handed the storage bag full of spiritual stones to Master Gu, he couldn't help but sigh in amazement.

"I don't know where there are so many suckers in the Taixu Sect who are willing to spend so many spiritual stones to buy these strange spiritual weapons of yours."

He and Master Gu had a good relationship on weekdays, so he spoke more casually.

Master Gu smiled and said, "You don't understand this..."

The doorway in this is complicated...

Refining techniques, process optimization, array design, array carving, as well as spiritual weapon demand and sales.

It looks simple on the surface, but Master Gu also knows that he is a third-grade refiner, but what he can do is actually very limited.

Most of the credit should be attributed to Master Xiao Mo.

Master Gu couldn't figure out where Master Xiao Mo got so many connections in the sect.

He shook his head, looked at the steward, and said with a smile:

"I'll treat you to a drink at noon."

The steward accepted the invitation and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll take advantage of it too."

At noon, the two of them had a spiritual meal and drank fine wine in Taixu City.

The business pavilion's affairs will be entrusted to the steward in the future, so Master Gu was very generous.

The steward was also very happy.

With a little tipsy, the host and the guest were very happy.

After drinking, the two went home separately.

Master Gu had to go back to Gushan City to continue making the next batch of spiritual tools.

On the carriage to Gushan City, Master Gu touched the heavy storage bags on his waist. He was emotional but still a little unbelievable.

Five hundred thousand spiritual stones!

Small spiritual tools are cheaper, large spiritual tools are more expensive, and the average price of spiritual tools is about five thousand spiritual stones. Nearly one hundred pieces were sold in a month.

After deducting the cost, this is also a very considerable income.

And this is just the beginning.

Master Gu's disciple Dachuan was also shocked.

He had lived a hard life all his life, and he had never seen so many spirit stones.

Master Gu thought for a moment, and then ordered: "Stop at the next fairy city, go into the city to buy some wine and meat, and bring them back to reward everyone."

Dachuan was very happy and laughed:

"Yes, Master!"

The life of Gushan Refining Shop has always been hard, and everyone has not been able to drink and eat meat for a long time.

Then he couldn't help but sigh: "Master, how can I spend these spirit stones? I feel that I can't spend them all..."

Master Gu laughed.

This silly boy is used to being poor. Since he was born, he only knows what it feels like to be poor, and he doesn't know what to do with more spirit stones.

Let him think, he can't think of it.

Then Master Gu thought about it again, and felt a little sad.

500,000 spirit stones...

It's a lot.

These spirit stones are enough for the Refining Shop to buy a good refining furnace, purchase a lot of high-quality refining materials, and buy some rare refining maps.

The remaining spirit stones can still allow everyone to live a life without worrying about food and drink for a long time.

This amount of spirit stones can be said to be very generous.

But...

Master Gu sighed in his heart.

But these spirit stones are actually very few.

Maybe it's just the cost of a banquet for some noble families.

Or even just the price of a mount, a carriage, a song and dance, a glass of fine wine, a beauty...

The world is so unfair.

Master Gu looked at Dachuan again.

This simple, poor child knows nothing.

But it’s better not to know...

The ordinary is the truth.

Once you see the world of pleasure, the desires are everywhere, and you don’t have a firm heart of Taoism, sooner or later your mentality will be distorted, and then completely ruined.

Master Gu looked at Dachuan and smiled:

"There are many things that can be done. Let’s talk about it when we go back. Let’s do it one by one. Let’s let everyone have a good meal first, but..."

Master Gu frowned, thought for a moment and said: "Leave a portion for Mr. Mo."

Dachuan was stunned and nodded.

They were able to make this business and earn so many spirit stones, thanks to the white and tender Mr. Mo.

You can’t judge a person by his appearance.

When they first met, he thought this young man was a little kid from some family, but he didn’t expect that he was so capable.

Dachuan was amazed.

"But," Dachuan was a little puzzled, "Will Mr. Mo do it?"

He always felt that although Mr. Mo was young, he already had some immortal spirit.

Such a person may not be interested in these spiritual stones.

Master Gu shook his head and said, "This is what the young master deserves. Whether he wants it or not, we have to give it to him. This is the principle of being a human being. A drop of water should be repaid with a spring of water."

"What's more, for us, the young master is much more 'precious' than these spiritual stones."

"Don't lose the big picture for the small."

"But there is no need to say it now, otherwise it will seem like we are deliberately repaying the favor, which will make us look distant. We will just keep a portion quietly and keep it for the young Mo master."

Dachuan nodded repeatedly, "Master, you are still thoughtful."

Master Gu patted the storage bag on his waist, and a smile appeared on his resolute face...

...

In the Taixu Sect.

At this time, Mo Hua didn't know that there were already two people who were secretly "saving" spiritual stones for him.

He inadvertently already had two "small spiritual stone warehouses".

Mo Hua continued to learn the formation.

The armor still needed to be refined for a while. Before that, he was still practicing the formation as usual. Mo Hua lay on the desk and slowly drew a second-grade 17-pattern formation, stroke by stroke.

After finishing the drawing, he continued to draw the second one.

These were the homework assigned to him by Mr. Xun.

"Learn more, the more the better, the more solid the better, if you don't have enough formation diagrams, come to me again..."

Mo Hua liked what Mr. Xun said very much.

But he was also a little strange.

Originally, Mr. Xun said that he couldn't ignore the sect system, and asked him to accumulate merits and change the formation by himself.

But now, Mr. Xun didn't care about these anymore.

He kept asking himself to learn, and fed himself formations in a cramming manner.

Although Mo Hua had a big appetite and digested quickly, he could eat whatever Mr. Xun fed him, but he still had some doubts in his heart.

Mr. Xun, seems a little anxious?

But what is he anxious about?

Does Mr. Xun have any other plans?

Mo Hua couldn't figure it out.

He also secretly looked at Mr. Xun, but Mr. Xun's mind was as deep as the sea, and his expression was as calm as an ancient well, and he could not see any clues.

Mo Hua then asked tentatively:

"Mr. Xun, do I still need to go to the rank now?"

He can already draw a high-level second-grade entry-level formation, and he has extensive experience in formations, a solid foundation in formations, and knows a lot of formations.

It should be no problem to participate in the formation assessment and be determined as a second-grade intermediate formation master.

Upon hearing this, Mr. Xun raised his eyes slightly and said calmly:

"No hurry."

"Oh."

Mo Hua was sure in his heart that Mr. Xun must have some arrangements.

But since Mr. Xun said there was no hurry, he was not in a hurry either.

Anyway, as long as there is formation to learn, it will be fine.

The more formations you learn, the deeper your understanding, the higher your attainments, and the more solid your foundation.

Mo Hua has a strong spiritual consciousness, recovers quickly, and has the help of the Dao stele.

Although he could only learn seventeen patterns by studying formations day and night, Mo Hua's foundation of second-grade high-level formations was already more solid than that of many real second-grade high-level formation masters.

Gathering sands makes a tower.

What he had to do now, or what Mr. Xun asked him to do now, was to continuously expand, consolidate, and deepen the foundation of the formation...

After several days, the armor was still not refined.

Mo Hua was eating in the dining hall, and Cheng Mo suddenly found him and asked:

"Junior Brother, is there any way to defend against demonic power or demonic energy?"

Mo Hua was puzzled, "You want to deal with demon cultivators?"

Cheng Mo thought for a while and said, "Not really, it's a bounty issued by the Dao Ting Division, saying that they want to catch a few criminal cultivators, but these people have practiced some evil magic techniques, but they are not orthodox, and they are considered to be halfway into the devil..."

"It's better to take precautions before it happens, so I'm here to ask you."

Mo Hua frowned.

Practicing evil magic techniques, halfway into the devil?

A task issued by the Dao Ting Division?

Mo Hua was startled, and suddenly remembered what Uncle Gu had told him before:

"A group of demon cultivators of unknown origin have poured into the vicinity of Qianxuezhou..."

"The origin has not been ascertained, and it is not clear how many there are and what their cultivation is."

"The scope of their activities is limited to the second and third grade small states near Qianxuezhou. Their intentions are unknown, but they must have no good intentions..."

The person Cheng Mo wants to catch is one of these "demon cultivators"?

The Daoting Division is short of manpower, so it can only send the reward for arresting demon cultivators to the sect?

Mo Hua thought about it and felt that it was very likely.

And after Cheng Mo said this, he remembered that the rewards and questions asked by the fellow disciples who had asked him for advice recently were all a bit dangerous.

Before, they were catching some thieves and arresting a few criminals.

Now, the opponents they have to deal with are obviously desperate criminals who have killed people.

Now it seems that the rewards they have received are probably to deal with the "devil cultivators" that Uncle Gu mentioned.

Mo Hua thought for a moment and said: "There are many kinds of evil magic skills. For example, some people use evil spirits to steal people's minds, some people have poison in their blood, some people are used to using evil weapons, and some people practice the method of collecting and replenishing..." "If you meet someone who practices evil spirits, you must stay away from them and can't look into their eyes." "If the blood is poisonous, you must use fire spells or formations to restrain it." "You can't use spiritual tools to fight against evil weapons, especially inherited spiritual tools, otherwise they will be contaminated." "Those who practice collecting and replenishing usually have good body movements, so if you catch them, you must break three legs to prevent them from doing evil again..." Mo Hua told Cheng Mo about all the magic methods he had seen in the Bishan Demon Cave and the many magic skills he had seen, as if he knew them all. Cheng Mo was shocked. He hesitated for a long time, looked around, and then lowered his voice and said nervously:

"Junior Brother, how come you are so familiar with him? You are not..."

Mo Hua glanced at him lightly, "Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated in a hundred battles. If you don't know the evil methods, how can you kill the demons and eliminate the devils?"

Cheng Mo was stunned, thought about it, and nodded:

"That makes sense!"

But Mo Hua was also very curious.

He wanted to know why this group of demon cultivators suddenly appeared and what their plans were.

Will it be related to the evil god?

If so, he must not ignore it.

But he was trapped in the sect and could not leave the Qianxuezhou boundary, so he could not go to find out.

Mo Hua thought silently, and suddenly a light flashed in his mind.

He asked Cheng Mo to call over a group of disciples who were on good terms with him and who often called him "little senior brother", and then said to them:

"When you accept bounties, complete missions, and catch criminals or demonic cultivators, if you find something strange and whose origins are unclear, remember to bring it back to me."

Situ Jian frowned, "For example?"

"For example," Mo Hua thought for a while and said in a deep voice, "Strange things like statues, broken swords, sheep horns, and bones..."

"Or maybe..." Mo Hua's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said slowly: "Encrypted letters, blank jade slips, written orders with messages erased, and..."

"Some kind of sect token!"
