Asking about longevity

After returning to the sect, Mo Hua immediately put all the formation diagrams into his own ring.

These are all good things, and they must be kept well.

And they must be learned secretly, and no one else can know, so as not to cause trouble to Aunt Wan.

Although Aunt Wan looked indifferent, Mo Hua knew in his heart that these formations were the inheritance of the Shangguan and Wenren families after all, and they were extremely precious.

Aunt Wan was the legitimate daughter of the Wenren family and the daughter-in-law of the Shangguan family.

But in other words, she was the daughter of the Wenren family who was married off, and the "outsider" married by the Shangguan family.

If the inheritance formation diagrams of the two families were given to him, once known to others, it would inevitably be made a fuss and criticized.

Aunt Wan's situation in the family would definitely be more difficult.

What's more, there is also a unique formation among them!

Aunt Wan is not specialized in formations, and she may not know what kind of formation she gave him.

Second-grade twenty-pattern unique formation...

Secondary thunder flow formation!

Mo Hua tried to hold back, but couldn't help it. He took out the diagram of the secondary thunder flow absolute formation, rubbed it in his hands, squinted his eyes and smiled like a little fool.

This is the absolute formation!

And it is the secondary thunder flow absolute formation that is closest to the essence of the Yuan magnetic formation among the eight trigrams thunder derivatives!

Mo Hua was eager to learn it.

But he had taken a few glances before and found that he couldn't learn it yet.

First of all, his Yuan magnetic formation foundation is not enough.

Mo Hua learned a lot of five elements and eight trigrams formations, and his foundation is solid and his understanding is deep.

But for the Yuan magnetic formation, Mo Hua didn't learn a few sets in total, so his foundation is inevitably shallow and his understanding is impossible.

And the further secondary thunder formation is still the absolute formation. At first glance, Mo Hua is even less likely to truly comprehend it.

Secondly, his spiritual consciousness is not enough.

A twenty-line absolute formation naturally requires twenty-line spiritual consciousness.

And Mo Hua's current spiritual consciousness has only seventeen lines, which is a little short of eighteen lines, and can barely be regarded as quasi-eighteen lines.

Quasi-eighteen lines, far from twenty lines.

Especially between nineteen and twenty, it is a big hurdle from foundation building to golden elixir.

It is estimated that it is very difficult to cross this hurdle, and I don’t know how long it will take.

Or, you need to "eat" a big meal to break through...

"I can't learn..."

The second-grade absolute formation is right in front of me, but I can only look at it, not learn it.

Mo Hua sighed.

He reluctantly put away the formation diagram of the second-grade twenty-line secondary thunder flow absolute formation, and then his eyes were firm.

No matter what, we must hurry to improve our spiritual consciousness!

"We must find a way to feed the laws of heaven, break through the restrictions, and then strengthen our spiritual consciousness, improve our realm, reach twenty-line spiritual consciousness as soon as possible, and comprehend the secondary thunder absolute formation!"

The fastest way to improve spiritual consciousness is to "eat" evil spirits.

The fastest way to "eat" evil spirits is to find an altar.

By stealing the authority of the evil god, ordering "takeout" for yourself, you can eat a lot at once.

But now I can't go out, I can't find an altar, and I can't order takeout.

This approach can only be abandoned.

In addition, it is to hone the spiritual consciousness through a large number of array practice.

But this is what Mo Hua does every day and every moment.

Mo Hua's spiritual consciousness is now strong, and there is a Dao monument to trace back the spiritual thoughts. The amount of array practice every day is almost dozens of times that of array masters of the same realm.

Since getting the Dao monument, Mo Hua has been practicing every day without stopping, almost never slacking off, so there is nothing to say.

Finally, just like ordinary cultivators, step by step, through the improvement of the realm of cultivation, the realm of spiritual consciousness is also improved.

Mo Hua pondered for a while.

He was "confined". In addition to practicing arrays a lot every day, it seems that there is only one way to enhance the spiritual consciousness by improving the cultivation.

"Middle stage of foundation building!"

Improve the cultivation to the middle stage of foundation building as soon as possible, and then consider other things.

Mo Hua nodded.

After that, Mo Hua put aside everything and solved the puzzle array without distraction, hoping to break through the bottleneck as soon as possible and advance to the middle stage of foundation building.

He didn't ask about the Yu Family Water Village and the Water Yama for the time being.

Of course, he couldn't do anything about it now even if he wanted to.

The Five Elements Source Armor was still being refined.

He would still meet with Master Gu when he had time, have a meal, and study ways to improve it.

If his fellow disciples offered a bounty and asked him for help, he would give them some pointers and fulfill his responsibility as a "young senior brother".

Master Gu could also sell a few more custom-made spiritual tools and earn more spiritual stones.

In addition, Mo Hua spent almost all his time and energy on breaking through the bottleneck of the middle stage of foundation building.

The bottleneck of Tian Yan Jue was somewhat incredible to ordinary people.

Complex array patterns, a large number of puzzle arrays, and a qualitatively changed divine level.

For ordinary cultivators, every path was like a natural chasm.

But Mo Hua had gotten used to it.

At least in his eyes, these were just "conventional" bottlenecks.

In the sea of ​​consciousness, relying on his profound attainments in array formations, powerful spiritual consciousness, profound power of calculation, and multiple speeds of trickery.

The vast and complicated puzzle array was also solved by Mo Hua quickly, just like Tang Woxue.

The bottleneck was also loosening little by little.

After more than a month, when Mo Hua had solved the puzzle array of Tian Yan Jue and was about to break through the middle stage of foundation building, Cheng Mo suddenly came to find Mo Hua.

"Junior brother, are you going to watch the discussion conference?" Cheng Mo asked.

Mo Hua was stunned.

Discussion conference?

This word is not the first time he has heard it.

On weekdays, fellow disciples occasionally talk about it, but most of them are vague.

Mo Hua also felt that this kind of thing was far away from him, so he didn't ask more.

Of course, what he heard most was the word "Swordsman Conference".

"What is the difference between the Swordsman Conference and the Dao Conference?" Mo Hua asked Cheng Mo.

Cheng Mo said: "The Dao Conference is a general term, including five types of competitions, namely, elixir, weapon, talisman, array, and sword. The Swordsman Conference is just one of them."

"Elixir, weapon, talisman, array, is a test of the skills of cultivation."

"The swordsman conference tests fighting. The disciples of the major sects in Qianxuezhou discuss swords, fight, and compete in martial arts..."

Mo Hua was puzzled, "Since there are swordsmanship, fighting, and martial arts, why is it called swordsmanship alone?"

Cheng Mo scratched his head, "I don't know, maybe sword cultivators are the most handsome?"

Mo Hua looked at him silently.

Cheng Mo smiled awkwardly, "Or, I'll call Situ over. He is a sword cultivator, so he must know."

Cheng Mo really ran to call Situ Jian.

When Situ Jian came, Mo Hua realized that after not seeing him for a while, Situ Jian was already in the middle stage of foundation building.

Among the same disciples, the speed of cultivation varies.

It is also affected by the cultivation method and Taoism, as well as whether the resources of the cultivation are sufficient, whether to lay a solid foundation, and to cultivate the spiritual power to perfection. Therefore, the progress of cultivation among disciples cannot be generalized.

Situ Jian was relatively smooth, with all the spiritual objects prepared and the number of cycles almost completed, so he broke through earlier.

But Cheng Mo and Yang Qianjun still need to temper their blood and energy, so they are slower.

As for Mo Hua...

He doesn't need anything, as long as he can break through the realm, blood and spiritual power are not important.

There is nothing to be particular about his spiritual roots.

Situ Jian explained to Mo Hua: "The term 'discussion of swords' has a long history..."

"At the beginning, the sword-discussion competition was only for sword-discussion. Sword cultivators competed with each other and used 'swords' to determine the first place."

"Whoever won first place was the champion of the sword-discussion competition, and was usually considered to be the first among the disciples of the same class in terms of cultivation and combat power."

"But other physical and spiritual cultivators were dissatisfied. Why can the first sword cultivator be the first disciple?"

"So later, physical and spiritual cultivators also participated."

"But physical and spiritual cultivators don't use swords. If they compete with sword cultivators, if they win, they will become people who don't practice swordsmanship. It's not reasonable to win the first place in the sword-discussion competition."

"So it became a group battle, A sword cultivator brings a physical cultivator and a spiritual cultivator together, three people in a team, fighting each other. "

"Later, they imitated the Taoist soldiers' system, five people in a team, and learned from each other. "

"At the beginning, it was a hard fight, whoever won was the best. "

"Later, some ancestors in Qianzhou felt that this was too reckless and not in line with actual combat, so they changed the rules and added many restrictions such as occupying flags, hunting monsters, and seizing swords. It has been passed down to the present and has become the current sword-fighting conference..."

"Fellow disciples form a team of five, join hands with each other to achieve the goal, and discuss both cultivation and Taoism, and also emphasize cooperation and strategy. If they win, all five will be the best, and if they lose, they will all be eliminated, sharing honor and disgrace. "

Mo Hua nodded, and roughly understood a little. Cheng Mo patted Situ Jian on the shoulder and praised him, "You know more."

Situ Jian was helpless, "You should pay attention occasionally, don't just focus on swinging the axe..."

Cheng Mo smiled and invited Mo Hua, "Little brother, do you want to go and see it together? This is a grand event held every three years in Qianxuezhou."

Situ Jian added, "And for us, we may only be able to participate once in our lifetime."

Mo Hua was a little confused, "Only once?"

Situ Jian nodded slightly, "Generally, only disciples who have been in school for more than nine years, in the late stage of foundation building, and whose cultivation of spiritual power and blood has reached the peak, and who have not broken through the golden elixir, can participate in the sword discussion conference."

"If you are one class lower, you have learned less for a few years, and your cultivation of blood and spiritual power is far behind others, and you can't compete with other sects' geniuses..."

"Oh." Mo Hua nodded.

Cheng Mo sighed, "I don't know if I can participate in the next class..."

"Don't think about it," Situ Jian shook his head and said, "At least the next class."

Cheng Mo was a little dissatisfied.

Situ Jian said: "The discussion conference is of great importance. It is not only related to the personal cultivation future of the disciples, but also to the development of the sect. The disciples who participate in the discussion are very strictly selected, and each place is precious..."

Cheng Mo was a little unhappy, but he also knew that what Situ Jian said was right.

Mo Hua was a little curious.

It is easy to understand that it is related to the personal future of the disciples.

If you get a good ranking and stand out in the cultivation conference, you will be valued by the sect and appreciated by other cultivation forces, and you may even have a lot of merits.

But what does this have to do with the development of the sect...

It's just a discussion of the Tao, is it so important?

Mo Hua asked Situ Jian, and Situ Jian asked:

"Little brother, do you know the Qianlong Mountains?"

"Qianlong Mountains?"

Mo Hua frowned, as if he had some impression.

Situ Jian said: "The Qianlong Mountains are a huge mountain range that runs across the border of Qianxuezhou. In this mountain range, there is a huge spiritual mine with an astonishing output of spiritual stones."

Amazing output of spiritual stones, huge spiritual mine!

Mo Hua was slightly shocked.

Situ Jian lowered his voice and said, "I heard all this from my grandfather..."

"It is said that the Dao Court tried every possible means to occupy the Qianlong Spiritual Mine, but in the end, the ancestors of dozens of large families in Qianzhou joined forces and forcibly suppressed it."

"Despite this, the Dao Court was still unwilling to give up."

"And when it came to such a huge amount of spiritual stones, the aristocratic families refused to give in."

"In the end, the two sides compromised, and a small portion of the output of these spiritual mines was handed over to the Dao Court as "spiritual tax", and the rest was handed over to the major sects in Qianxuezhou."

"The sects got these spiritual stones, grew stronger, recruited disciples, taught and cultivated talents. In this way, the spiritual stones in the Qianlong spiritual mine were used for the world."

"The Dao Court agreed, and the aristocratic families had nothing to say."

"Therefore, this huge Qianlong spiritual mine fell into the hands of hundreds of sects in Qianxuezhou."

"But how to use such a large amount of spiritual stones? How much is the share, and it has become a problem..." Mo Hua understood, and said: "The Dao Conference?" "Yes." Situ Jian nodded, "Disciples from each sect will participate in the Dao Conference to determine the ranking." "This ranking affects the sect's ranking, and the ranking of the sect determines the share of the huge spiritual mine in Qianlong Mountain." "This is a huge spiritual mine. Any little share means a huge amount of spiritual stones." "And spiritual stones are the foundation of the development of the sect." "Therefore, the Dao Conference is related to the personal future of the disciples, and is also closely related to the interests and future development of the sect..." "So that's it..." Mo Hua suddenly realized and nodded slightly. "Little Senior Brother, this Dao Conference seems to have started. Do you want to go and see it?" Situ Jian on the side also asked. Mo Hua thought about it and said, "Okay." He also wanted to know what the Dao Conference was like. As for the middle stage of foundation building, it will be soon anyway, so there is no rush in these two days. So Mo Hua gave himself a half-day off, and followed Cheng Mo and Situ Jian to watch the Dao Conference.

The Dao Conference was held at the Dao Mountain in the center of Qianxuezhou.

From the outside, the Dao Mountain was majestic and solemn, and a huge formation was built outside.

Mo Hua knew at a glance that this was a large formation.

And it was not a closed formation, but a slightly opened formation.

Above the formation, a faint light flowed, and the momentum was amazing, like a dormant giant beast, breathing gently.

"This formation is..."

Mo Hua looked at Cheng Mo and Situ Jian, and was about to ask something, but seeing that their expressions were more shocked than his, he did not ask.

Forget it, let's not make it difficult for them about the formation.

The entry requirements for the Dao Conference were not strict, as long as they were disciples of the sect in Qianxuezhou.

Mo Hua and the other two arrived at the entrance of the mountain gate, showed the Taixu Order, verified the identity of the sect disciples, and were allowed to enter the Dao Mountain.

Entering the Dao Mountain means entering the formation. Cheng Mo and Situ Jian were a little confused and didn't understand anything.

But in Mo Hua's perception, the vast, mysterious, and boundless aura of the formation was extremely strong.

He could even faintly feel the trembling of those subtle and mysterious high-grade formation patterns throughout the mountain, and the flow of a large amount of spiritual power that was as deep as the ocean, but calm on the surface...

Mo Hua's heart trembled and his eyes were opened.

It is worthy of being a fifth-grade Qianxuezhou realm, there are so many good things!

I don't know when I can lay out such a large formation...

Mo Hua was looking forward to it.

Situ Jian took Mo Hua and explained while walking:

"In the discussion conference, alchemy, refining, talismans, and formations will be assessed in turn."

"The sword discussion is a little different, because the cycle is long and there are many competitions, so the time of each session will be a little different, but it will generally be staggered with the discussion of alchemy, refining, talismans, and formations..."

The three of them walked and talked.

As we approached the Taoist temple, we saw a huge crowd of people. Not only the Taixu Sect, but also the disciples of the other four major sects, eight major sects, twelve schools, and the hundred schools of Qianxue came to see it.

The Taoist temple was very lively, full of young disciples wearing various Taoist robes, including handsome young men and graceful young women.

Cheng Mo was somewhat yearning, "You say, if six years later, I show my power at the sword-discussing conference and kill all around, will these girls, senior sisters and junior sisters, especially admire me and want to pledge their love to me..."

Situ Jian patted his shoulder and sighed:

"There are too many people here. If you want to daydream, it's better to go to another place."

Cheng Mo was startled, then a little angry, and whispered:

"Situ, you dare to look down on me! Let's find a place to spar and see whether your sword is faster or my axe is harder..."

Mo Hua was a little helpless and sighed, "Okay."

"Okay, junior brother." Cheng Mo immediately followed suit, and then gave Situ Jian a look and whispered:

"For the sake of junior brother, I won't bother with you."

Situ Jian shook his head.

And below, the alchemy conference has begun.

There are many alchemy furnaces in the huge dojo.

A group of disciples in the late stage of foundation building, who were obviously older, more advanced, and much taller than Mo Hua, all looked solemn and began to light the open fire and refine the elixir.

There were elders supervising the examination.

There were many disciples watching around.

However, at this time, the scene had become quiet and no disciple dared to speak loudly.

In the dojo, the disciples in the late stage of foundation building concentrated on refining the elixir. After refining the elixir, they presented it to the elders above, who commented on it and gave four ratings of A, B, C, and D, and then showed the conclusion to the public.

After that, those who were eliminated sighed and left the stage dejectedly.

Those who advanced showed joy and saluted the elders.

Then another group of people changed and continued to refine the elixir.

After refining the elixir, they continued to repeat this process...

After watching for a while, Mo Hua felt bored.

The Taoism Conference was indeed a grand event, but it was a bit too boring to watch from the side.

And it was a discussion of the Taoism.

Mo Hua didn't know anything about alchemy, but at least he knew very little.

He only had a rough understanding of some alchemy theories, and remembered some practical knowledge of elixir very well.

Like what kind of elixir, what kind of injury it healed, what kind of poison it detoxified, and what kind of effect it had.

There were also some medicines that could be used to cheat people, to poison people, and so on.

Apart from that, Mo Hua's research on specific alchemy was very limited.

He had never successfully refined many furnaces of elixir.

If the little sister was refining elixir, he would stare at it for a while.

But most of the people in the Taoist temple were disciples from other sects that he didn't know.

Therefore, after watching for a while, Mo Hua felt a little sleepy.

Cheng Mo was even more so.

Situ Jian was better, but not much better.

The three of them looked at each other, nodded slightly, and quietly left the crowd.

"Alchemy is a bit boring..." Cheng Mo said, "Except for those who aspire to be alchemists, or those who have high attainments in alchemy and want to win a place in the alchemy conference, few disciples pay attention to this kind of alchemy competition every day..."

"Unlike the sword conference, where fists and flesh, magic flying, and sword fighting are fun..."

Situ Jian also nodded and said, "Indeed, alchemy and other cultivation skills are not watched by many people."

"It's just that the Dao Conference has just started, so there are more people. After a few days, there will be fewer people."

"We have to wait until a period of time, when the sword conference starts, that will be the real event!"

"The Dao Conference is a grand event in Qianzhou, and the sword conference is a grand event of the Dao Conference!"

"Not only the Qianxuezhou world, but even the Central Dao Court, and even many large families and large sects outside, will send people to watch."

"If you win the first place in the sword conference, you will really stand out from the thousands of geniuses, glorify your ancestors, and become famous!"
