Asking about longevity

"Oh." Mo Hua nodded.

Cheng Mo looked around, and then asked Mo Hua and Situ Jian, "Are you still watching?"

Situ Jian looked at Mo Hua.

Mo Hua pondered for a moment, shook his head, "Let's go back first, there's nothing interesting about alchemy, come back and watch it later when you have time."

"Okay!"

Cheng Mo and Situ Jian nodded.

So the three of them went back home, left Lun Dao Mountain, and returned to the sect.

After returning to the sect, Mo Hua continued to practice, break bottlenecks, draw formations, and refine armor.

But when he was free, he would still go to Lun Dao Mountain to watch the Lun Dao Conference.

The Lun Dao Conference is at least a grand event held every three years in Qianxuezhou.

Although he didn't participate, he had to learn about it.

What's more, not participating now doesn't mean he won't participate in the future.

Mo Hua calculated that six years later, if his cultivation level was raised to the late stage of foundation building, he might also have to go on stage and compete with the sons of the geniuses of hundreds of thousands of sects.

However, this kind of thing is too much of a show, which is not in line with his low-key and humble temperament.

A tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind.

The protruding rafters will rot first.

These are the master's earnest teachings to him.

So whether or not to participate in the Taoism Conference in the future, Mo Hua is still a little entangled.

But no matter what, this will happen in six years, so there is no rush to consider it now, just wait and see.

The Taoism Conference is still being held as scheduled.

Mo Hua will go and take a look when he has time.

The rules of this Taoism Conference are to discuss elixirs first, then weapons, then talismans, then formations, and finally swords.

There is nothing interesting about discussing elixirs.

Anyway, it's just a bunch of people burning a stove, paying attention to the techniques of alchemy, the temperature, skills, control, etc., and finally rating them based on many factors such as the time to make the elixir, the success rate, and the appearance.

Mo Hua doesn't care much.

In the end, Mo Hua doesn't know who won the championship.

He only knows that it is a senior sister who is two years older than him from the "Danqing Sect".

Danqing Sect is one of the twelve sects in Qianxuezhou, and most of the disciples in the sect also regard alchemy as their lifelong ambition.

Alchemy to save the world, to save the dying and the wounded.

Mo Hua inexplicably thought of Mr. Feng, the first-class alchemist in Tongxian City.

He had a strong spiritual consciousness but a weak body since he was a child, and he was able to grow up safely, all thanks to Mr. Feng's treatment and recuperation.

The atmosphere of Danqing Sect gave Mo Hua a feeling that it was a bit like Mr. Feng.

Mo Hua inexplicably developed some good feelings in his heart.

Then there was the weapon discussion conference.

Mo Hua paid more attention to it.

Although in fact, his level of weapon refining is worse than his level of alchemy, he still has some knowledge.

Especially in recent times, he has exchanged a lot of weapon refining experience with Master Gu, the third-class golden elixir weapon refiner.

Mo Hua also took the lead in designing the weapon refining array diagram and customized a large number of spiritual weapons. At the same time, in order to make the shape of the spiritual weapon fit the array structure, he did a lot of research.

So even though his actual weapon refining level was still unbearable to look at - because he couldn't swing the second-grade hammer.

But relatively speaking, his vision and pattern of weapon refining had improved significantly.

This was something that ordinary weapon refiners, especially those disciples who were meticulous and followed the inheritance system and weapon refining standards and learned weapon refining step by step, did not have.

At this time, Mo Hua watched others refine weapons, observed more, summarized more, and improved the design ideas of his own weapon refining array diagram, which was also very beneficial.

A few days later, the weapon discussion conference also came to an end.

But the champion of the weapon discussion conference was somewhat beyond Mo Hua's expectations. He did not come from the twelve streams, or from the sects that specialized in weapon refining among the hundreds of Qianxue sects, but from Tai'a Sect, one of the eight major sects, which had some origins with Taixu Sect.

"Tai'a Sect..."

Mo Hua was slightly startled.

He remembered that Senior Brother Ouyang Feng, who had a friendship with him, was also from Tai'a Sect.

However, the champion of the weapon discussion conference of Tai'a Sect should be one year higher than Senior Brother Feng, and could be considered Senior Brother Feng's senior brother.

The weapon refining method he won first place in was a sword forging method.

"Tai'a Sect, sword forging method..."

Mo Hua touched his chin, looking thoughtful.

After that, it was the Talisman Discussion Conference.

Mo Hua had the least contact with talismans.

The so-called talisman refining, to put it simply, is to consume spiritual power, condense spells, and then seal the spells in the jade talisman that has been refined in advance.

When using it in this way, you can directly activate the spell by activating the jade talisman.

Talismans have a certain threshold of cultivation realm restrictions, but basically do not require the user to consume extra spiritual power.

It is a simple means of supplementing attack.

And talisman refining itself is also a category of cultivation industry integration.

The "jade talisman" used in talisman refining can seal spells, which itself depends on weapon refining and formation production.

As a talisman refiner, the most important thing is spiritual power.

Excellent talisman refiners are all spiritual cultivators with great spiritual power and proficient in spells, especially proficient in some rare spells, or superior spells.

This is something Mo Hua is naturally insulated from.

Although Mo Hua is a spiritual practitioner, his spiritual roots are poor and his spiritual power is weak.

Although he is proficient in magic, he follows the path of "knowing everything" and is proficient in low-level magic that is common on the street.

Moreover, the embryo of the "Jade Talisman" is very expensive.

Mo Hua is reluctant to buy it.

He feels a little distressed when buying some array media and spiritual ink.

For these reasons, among all the categories of cultivation, Mo Hua's talisman refining is the weakest.

Although his grades are 1st A and 6th C.

But among these six "C", refining talismans is the "C" among the "C", and it is just a little short of falling into the "D" level.

So Mo Hua only glanced at the Talisman Conference.

He didn't even look at who won the championship in the end.

After that, it was the Formation Conference.

Even fewer people watched the Formation Conference.

In the Tao Conference, among the four categories of cultivation, alchemy, weapons, talismans and formations, the formation was the last.

But the disciples were almost exhausted after watching the first three.

What's more, the next one is the Sword Conference.

Most of the disciples' expectations are placed on the sword and martial arts competitions of the four major sects, eight major sects, twelve streams and hundreds of Qianxue, where geniuses gather and thousands of Dao compete.

Naturally, they don't care about the matters of the Formation Conference.

Moreover, among the many categories of cultivation, although the formation is noble, it is also the most boring and the most boring to watch.

The fire rises when the alchemy furnace is turned on.

The sledgehammer is swung when the weapon is refined, and sparks fly.

Refining talismans and condensing spells, the light is overflowing.

Only the formation master draws the formation, and he really draws the formation in a mediocre way.

If it is an expert disciple who is proficient in the formation, it is okay. Ordinary disciples who only learn the general formation inheritance can't understand the doorway at all.

It is really hard to let them sit by and watch a group of disciples blindly drawing the formation for several hours.

Therefore, in comparison, the formation discussion conference is the most deserted.

But Mo Hua is just the opposite.

He is most interested in the formation discussion conference.

Basically, he has watched all the slightly important competitions.

After watching the formations drawn by many disciples, Mo Hua has a rough estimate of the formation level of the Tianjiao disciples participating in the conference.

These brothers and sisters who participated in the formation discussion must be better than himself.

All of them are in the late stage of foundation building, and most of their spiritual consciousness is also 19 patterns.

Occasionally, there will be people with the peak of 18 patterns.

But the 18 patterns are actually just "running with".

The sects of these disciples have a general array inheritance, so it is very rare to be able to select a few disciples with eighteen-pattern spiritual consciousness and specialize in array formation to participate in the array discussion conference.

And the difficulty of the arrays tested is not all nineteen-pattern high-level arrays.

Start with seventeen-pattern, then eighteen-pattern, and finally nineteen-pattern.

In this way, they are eliminated step by step.

In the end, those who can stay are all disciples who have nineteen-pattern deep spiritual consciousness in the late stage of foundation building, and most of them have passed the second-grade high-level array master's assessment.

Mo Hua does not know the nineteen-pattern array now.

But this is because his spiritual consciousness is not enough, not because these arrays are difficult.

Even the nineteen-pattern array in the final test, which is relatively unconventional and has a profound array theory - the post-natal eight trigrams Guizang array.

Mo Hua saw it, but did not think it was difficult.

"With this level..." Mo Hua couldn't help thinking in his heart, "Six years later, I won't be able to get the first place..."

Mo Hua thought about it and found it unbelievable.

Qianxuezhou Realm, the first in the array discussion conference?

He shook his head quickly.

It shouldn't be that simple...

People should not be too ambitious, they should be down-to-earth!

I should not have such conceited thoughts that look down on the heroes of the world!

Mo Hua nodded slowly, calmed down, maintained a humble attitude, and then continued to watch.

He watched until the end of the sword debate.

To Mo Hua's surprise, the top three in the array debate were all disciples of the "Four Major Sects".

The Wanzhen Sect, which specializes in arrays and is named after "arrays", only got fourth place.

The champion was a disciple named "Shen" who looked handsome but looked arrogant and even a little arrogant.

He was wearing a luxurious cloud-white Taoist robe with gold inlays.

Mo Hua recognized this Taoist robe.

The Taoist robe of Qian Dao Sect.

The first in array debate came from Qian Dao Sect...

Qian Dao Sect, one of the four major sects of Qianxue.

That is, the "Qian Dao Sect" written on his own entry order.

It was the Qiandao Sect, where he went to the sect with the order to join the sect, but was refused admission with a pretentious excuse because his spiritual roots were too low.

Mo Hua still felt a little uncomfortable when he thought about it.

Mo Hua couldn't help curling his lips and muttered in his heart:

"Look down on me..."

Mo Hua thought he was not a petty person, but he had to fight for his dignity even if he didn't eat the steamed buns.

He had to fight for his dignity sooner or later.

He had to eat this steamed bun back sooner or later.

"Qiandao Sect!"

Mo Hua snorted softly and remembered it silently in his heart.

The elders around him, as well as some upper-level cultivators from other sects and families, stood up and congratulated the winning disciples.

Although there were few disciples watching the formation conference.

But it seemed that because of the special status of the formation, the number of elders who came to watch was much more than the previous pill, weapon, and talisman conferences.

The Shen family disciple who won the first place returned the greeting respectfully, but there was still a bit of arrogance on his face.

The elders of the Qiandao Sect all smiled and greeted everyone with a reserved but arrogant look.

It seemed that the first place in the battle array must be in the pocket of the Qiandao Sect.

The battle array conference ended here.

…

After a period of time, it was the most important sword-discussing conference.

The sword-discussing conference was also held in Lundao Mountain.

When Mo Hua arrived at Lundao Mountain, he realized what the so-called grand event of grand events meant.

The whole Lundao Mountain was really bustling with people, as crowded as mountains and seas.

The mountain was densely packed with disciples from various sects.

Almost every disciple's face was filled with excitement, expectation, envy, longing and other emotions.

Generally speaking, this kind of expression will only appear on every disciple's face during the annual leave.

Mo Hua was also infected by the atmosphere and couldn't help but feel excited.

Cheng Mo and Situ Jian were also there, as well as Hao Xuan.

Especially Cheng Mo, he also broke through the middle stage of foundation building and will be upgraded next year. He has nothing to do for the time being, so he goes to Lundao Mountain every day.

He is a physical cultivator and dreams of participating in the sword debate.

The sword debate is held in a separate venue in Lundao Mountain.

The venues are various, with mountains and water, and the terrain is complex. They are specially opened up for disciples to form a team of five to discuss swords and martial arts.

There are also formations above the venue.

Mo Hua's spiritual sense swept slightly, his eyes were shocked, and he was a little absent-minded.

"Fifth grade..."

These formations are all real fifth-grade formations, and they are not ordinary fifth-grade formations.

It is a fifth-grade void formation!

Containing the power of space, a fifth-grade void formation!

It's just...

Mo Hua frowned, a little puzzled, "Why do we need to use the fifth-grade formation here?"

Cheng Mo naturally didn't know, and Hao Xuan also shook his head.

Situ Jian explained to Mo Hua: "These formations are used to protect the disciples who are fighting in the sword contest."

He didn't understand the fifth-grade formation very well, but Situ Jian was very familiar with the facilities related to the sword contest.

In the entire Qianxuezhou world, there is no disciple who is not eager to participate in the sword contest.

Situ Jian is no exception.

What's more, he is a sword cultivator himself, and there is a "sword" in his name.

If he can get a good name in the sword contest, not only in the sect, he will be highly valued by the elders, even if he returns to the family, it will be regarded as a glory for the ancestors and have a promising future.

Situ Jian continued, "The sword-fighting competition is just a competition, not a real fight for the disciples."

"But everyone is a foundation-building disciple, with similar cultivation. Once they start fighting with all their strength, no one can really stop."

"So some old predecessors in the Qianzhou School jointly constructed these fifth-grade void formations to ensure the safety of the disciples."

"After all, those who can join the Qianzhou sect are either extremely talented, or have a very good background, or both. If something bad really happens, it will be difficult to explain."

Mo Hua was a little confused, "How to ensure safety?"

Compared to the real sword-fighting competition, the situation is very complicated.

With the formation theory he is currently familiar with, he can't figure out how to protect the safety of disciples under the sword-fighting system.

Situ Jian pointed to the disciples participating in the sword fight, "Before entering the arena, everyone will have a 'life talisman'."

"The life talisman is integrated with the fifth-grade formation, and will bear the injuries for the disciples. Once the damage exceeds the limit, the life talisman will be broken, and the disciples will be considered defeated."

"At the same time, the fifth-grade formation will be forcibly activated, using the power of the void to forcibly teleport the disciple out of the sword fight venue to ensure his safety..."

Mo Hua was stunned, and then suddenly realized.

The fifth-grade void formation, so this is how it is used.

"Then this 'life talisman' is similar to the 'life longevity talisman'?" Mo Hua asked.

"It is indeed somewhat similar, but it is actually far from it." Situ Jian looked solemn and said, "Although this kind of life talisman also involves the fifth-grade void power, it cannot be compared with the life longevity talisman at all." "In the entire Qianxuezhou world, basically only a few top families and top direct descendants are qualified to let the Dongxu Patriarch consume his origin to plant a life longevity talisman." "And such disciples are basically concentrated in the 'Four Major Sects'." "Although our Situ family has barely touched the threshold of the fifth grade, we are still not qualified to plant this kind of 'life longevity talisman'..." Situ Jian sighed. Mo Hua frowned slightly. Life longevity talisman... Before he could think about it, Cheng Mo had already shouted, "It's started, it's started, Mo Hua, little brother, look!" Mo Hua looked in the direction of the voice and saw that in a field isolated and protected by the formation, the disciples of the two sides had already started fighting. This kind of five-on-five fight is more complicated. It not only emphasizes personal cultivation and Taoist combat power, but also emphasizes cooperation, strategy and tactics, etc.

In actual fighting, the situation is complicated and the situation is ever-changing.

Mo Hua watched it for the first time, and many rules were not clear to him.

He could only remember while watching.

But to be honest, it is indeed more interesting than the previous discussions on elixirs, weapons, and talismans.

Especially when it comes to the competition between the brothers and sisters of the same sect of Taixu Sect and other sects.

Because of the relevant positions, there is a natural expectation.

No one does not want their sect to win.

Therefore, the two teams staggered and fought against each other. The physical cultivators were sharp with swords and knives, like tigers, and approached the spiritual cultivators step by step.

The spiritual cultivators retreated while releasing spells.

The decisive opportunity is only a matter of millimeters, and it is fleeting.

A little negligence will trigger a series of changes, which is very thrilling and makes people feel ups and downs.

Mo Hua soon became immersed in watching.

In a blink of an eye, it was dark.

Unknowingly, he had watched for a day.

Mo Hua sighed.

This sword-fighting competition was indeed very exciting.

Time passed quickly.

However, thinking that it was a rare opportunity only once every three years, Mo Hua "indulged" himself a little and came with Cheng Mo to watch the sword-fighting competition when he had time.

As he watched, Mo Hua noticed something different.

Although it is based on the cooperation of fellow disciples, in fact, many sects and fellow disciples do not have such "tacit understanding".

In most cases, they still fight each other.

Then seize the opportunity to use more people to fight fewer people.

This is equivalent to tactics.

The main function of teamwork is to "use more people to fight fewer people".

The purpose of tactics is also mostly "use more people to fight fewer people".

Although it looks exciting, it does lack some changes and the tactics are too simple.

These methods are not even as rich as the tactics of the uncles and uncles of Tongxian City's demon hunters who work together to hunt demons, lure the enemy deep, press from a distance and attack from near, and hunt and kill.

Mo Hua frowned and thought, and then slowly understood.

The demon hunters hunt demons, which is a real life-and-death fight, only practical, and no matter what means.

The sword-discussing conference is essentially a "competition".

The disciples of the same sect are not all of one mind, and there is competition between each other.

And some large sects seem to be deliberately letting one or two of their core disciples stand out.

During the big competition, let other fellow disciples take the lead.

When the opponent's spiritual power and physical strength are almost exhausted, these core disciples will take action, complete the "feat" of fighting one against two or even three, harvest victory, and attract other disciples to spread the praises and worship.

Mo Hua was a little disdainful.

Using the sword-fighting conference to build momentum for the core disciples.

But the key is that the sword-fighting conference is for competition, so it's okay to play like this.

But if they encounter vicious evil cultivators and cruel demon cultivators in the future, will they play like this?

Those evil demon cultivators are like centipedes, which will not die stiff.

If you play like this, aren't you giving them a chance to counterattack?

Or, these core disciples will directly enter the Dao Court or the upper echelons of the family in the future, and will never meet the evil demons on the front line?

Mo Hua shook his head.

But these have nothing to do with him.

He is just "watching the show" at present.

Adhering to the idea of ​​knowing oneself and knowing the enemy, Mo Hua still often comes to the sword-fighting conference.

See what other sects practice, what Taoist methods they are good at, and what methods they usually use.

What is the atmosphere of the sect?

Are the disciples harmonious on the surface, but secretly calculating against each other?

At the same time, Mo Hua was also thinking in his heart.

What should I do if I go up to fight? What means can I use?

Mo Hua summarized all these, thinking that if there is a chance in the future, it will be useful.

In addition to watching the sword-fighting conference, Mo Hua's cultivation was not idle.

After working day and night, the mystery in Mo Hua's sea of ​​consciousness was finally completely solved, the bottleneck collapsed, and everything came naturally.

At the end of the sword-fighting conference, Mo Hua's cultivation finally broke through.

Passing the initial stage and entering the middle stage.

The spiritual power is like mercury, becoming deeper and deeper.

Since then, he has become a young cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building.
