Asking about longevity

At the gate of the Demon Refining Mountain.

Xun Ziyou and another elder in a maple robe were drinking tea.

The elder took a sip of tea, frowned, and said strangely: "Recently, the Cangmu Wolves in the mountain seem to be much less than when I was on duty before..."

Xun Ziyou choked on the tea and coughed.

The elder in the maple robe looked at Xun Ziyou suspiciously, "Elder Xun, do you know something?"

Xun Ziyou had a complicated expression, thinking, how could I not know...

A "young senior brother" of my Taixu Sect, with his group of junior brothers of the Taixu Sect, specifically caught the Cangmu Wolves in the Demon Refining Mountain and killed them.

Customized formations, special spiritual weapons, standardized processes, unified tactics, made like Taoist soldiers...

How could a demon beast stand up to it.

The Cangmu Wolves in the Demon Refining Mountain are unlucky for eight lifetimes.

Xun Ziyou coughed and said vaguely: "I don't know either... Sect disciples hunt monsters, hunting anything is hunting, more or less, it doesn't matter."

"That's right..." the elder pondered.

Xun Ziyou glanced at him, silently poured him a cup of tea, and whispered:

"We elders, just maintain order. There are so many disciples from each sect, how can we manage them, let them play, as long as they don't cause big trouble..."

"What's more, the war in the South Wilderness is tense, maybe one day, we will have to travel through mountains and rivers and be tired, how can we have such a leisurely day to watch the mountains and drink tea..."

The elder in the maple robe was startled, nodded in agreement:

"Elder Xun is right."

Then the two of them picked up their teacups and drank tea leisurely.

But Xun Ziyou felt a little bit uneasy.

Mo Hua, this troublesome child, please don't kill the Cang Mu Wolves in the Demon Refining Mountain...

Fortunately, Mo Hua seemed to have heard Elder Xun's request and stopped killing the Cang Mu Wolves.

He was ready to attack other monsters.

There were a number of Cang Mu Wolves in the mountain.

It was OK for them to kill Cang Mu Wolves as a team of five.

Now he had more junior brothers and sisters "under his command". Teams of them, wearing Yi Mu armor and holding sharp gold spiritual weapons, all went to kill Cang Mu Wolves.

The number of Cang Mu Wolves began to decrease significantly.

And there were more monks killing wolves, and fewer wolves.

Some disciples had to return empty-handed after a day's stroll in the Demon Refining Mountain, wasting the merits of buying tickets.

In order to maintain the balance of monsters and to prevent the disciples from returning empty-handed, Mo Hua took time to hunt them himself, and summarized his experience and formulated another monster "strategy".

This time the strategy was to kill a monster called Tianqing Snake.

The Azure Snake, a wood-type snake demon, is similar to the Cangmu Wolf Demon. They are both wood-type demon beasts and are naturally poisonous.

The armor and spiritual tools used to hunt Cangmu Wolf are also suitable for the Azure Snake.

However, the Azure Snake is more poisonous and hides in bushes. It is the same color as the grass and trees, and its demonic power is also mixed with the smell of grass and trees, making it difficult to distinguish.

For this reason, Mo Hua specially made a wood spirit array.

This array can identify the approximate composition of the wood-type spiritual power within ten feet around the body.

Is it the natural smell of grass and trees, or the spiritual power of cultivators, or the wood poison demonic power.

Although it is not very accurate, it is enough to search for demons.

In addition to being naturally poisonous, difficult to sense, and difficult to hunt, the Azure Snake is not too strong.

And the Azure Snake has snake gall, which sells for a higher price and earns more merits.

Soon, the Azure Snake shared the pressure for the Cangmu Wolf.

The Cangmu Wolf is no longer the only kind of monster that was "destroyed" by the "younger brother" of Taixu Sect, Mo Hua, and his younger brothers.

After the Azure Snake, Mo Hua also made hunting "strategies" for several other types of monsters.

These strategies cover a wider range.

In addition to the wood-type monsters, there are also the gold-patterned leopard of the gold-type, the gray-spotted python of the earth-type, the red-flame hyena of the fire-type, and so on.

These monsters have been added to Mo Hua's "Monster Hunting Strategy List".

For the customized spiritual tools that go with them, Mo Hua has also designed the refining array diagram and delivered it to Master Gu for refining, and sold it in the Gu Family Business Pavilion.

The number of these spiritual tools is extremely large.

The spiritual tools used for hunting monsters are more than those used for bounties and arresting criminals.

The efficiency of hunting monsters is also much higher than that of bounties.

After all, criminals run around and it takes a lot of time to search, while most monsters are in the Refining Monster Mountain and can be found as soon as they enter the mountain.

Master Gu's Gushan weapon refining business was therefore very busy.

The formation diagram for customizing spiritual weapons had been standardized by Master Gu and passed on to many of his disciples.

If only one or two pieces were customized, it would not be possible to refine them in batches.

But now that Taixu disciples were hunting monsters, they had Mo Hua's "strategy", and all kinds of spiritual weapons had become standardized, and they had already reached a certain scale of weapon refining.

These customized spiritual weapons could be mass-produced appropriately.

At the same time, the business of Shangge was getting better and better...

But Mo Hua didn't worry about these.

During the ten-day break, he would still soak in the Monster Refining Mountain, but now he didn't have to do it himself.

He made a strategy for hunting monsters and promoted it.

After a period of time, more and more Taixu disciples came to worship the hall, recognize the junior brother, receive the strategy, and go to the Monster Refining Mountain.

Although most of the more than a thousand disciples in the same sect called him "junior brother" on the surface,

but in their hearts, only a small number of them really regarded him as a junior brother.

They are all chosen by heaven, and no one will easily submit to anyone else.

Some people, with good talents and high aspirations, would nod to Mo Hua when they met him on the road, and would not call him "little senior brother".

This is also normal, Mo Hua does not care.

But now it is different.

These monster hunting strategies cannot be passed on without Mo Hua's permission.

And if you want the strategy, you have to go to Mo Hua.

Going into the mountains to hunt monsters is very difficult for newcomers.

Originally, everyone was stumbling and walking with difficulty.

But now there are disciples who take Mo Hua's complete "strategy", wear armor, go into the mountains smoothly and kill monsters one after another, and earn merits.

Other disciples, no matter how arrogant they are, are a little restless.

There is also competition among fellow disciples.

Everyone is a genius in cultivation, and their talents are not bad.

Combat experience must be honed by oneself, and cultivation resources must be obtained by oneself. If you are slow, you will be slow at every step.

Now with the help of Mo Hua, some disciples are making rapid progress.

Other disciples cannot help but want to make progress.

What's more, there are a lot of monster hunting merits. Merits are more important than face. So some of the Taixu Sect's prodigies who were arrogant and swore not to associate with Mo Hua also blushed, ran to Mo Hua, and shyly called out: "Little Senior Brother..." Mo Hua's face was as warm as spring breeze. Anyway, no matter who came, he treated them equally and did not hide anything. He gave the strategy and some precautions, and he also said them considerately. These prodigies followed Mo Hua's method and entered the Monster Refining Mountain. Sure enough, they successfully hunted monsters. They were a little bit unbelievable for a while. Monster hunting... is it so easy? And when the merits were obtained, some small grudges in their hearts disappeared completely. The three words "Little Senior Brother" became more and more fluent. In their hearts, they gradually "self-strategized"... Mo Hua is such a good person, what's wrong with calling him Little Senior Brother? This is the one appointed by Mr. Xun. If not for Mo Hua's sake, then at least for Mr. Xun's sake.

Besides, if others can call him "little senior brother", why can't I?

So when Mo Hua walked in the sect, there were often unfamiliar disciples who greeted him and called him "little senior brother".

Especially in the Demon Refining Mountain, there were more people who called him "little senior brother".

Now with their cultivation level, most of those who can survive in the Demon Refining Mountain have obtained Mo Hua's strategy and received Mo Hua's guidance.

That day, Mo Hua entered the Demon Refining Mountain, and a fellow disciple saw Mo Hua and said enthusiastically:

"Little senior brother, we killed a Cangmu wolf and got a demon pill, you can accept it."

This disciple had a kind face and a smart look, and looked very smart.

Mo Hua had an impression that his surname seemed to be Dong, and his given name was Shi. But he didn't remember which state he was from.

Mo Hua shook his head and refused:

"The demon pill is precious, you can keep it for merit."

The disciple named Dong Shi said gratefully: "Without the guidance of the junior brother, we can't get this demon pill."

The other disciples also echoed: "That's right."

"Junior brother, just accept it, otherwise we will feel bad."

Although he had instructed them, Mo Hua felt a little embarrassed to take the demon pill that others had worked hard to get.

He looked at the Cang Mulang who had just died tragically on the ground, and suddenly his eyes lit up and said:

"I don't want the demon pill, give me the demon blood."

Several Taixu disciples were stunned, "Demon blood?"

"Yes," Mo Hua nodded, "I have a great use."

After a little thought, they understood.

Junior brother wanted to hoard demon blood, mix spiritual ink, and learn formations.

You are worthy of being a junior brother!

High moral character!

He didn't covet the demon pill, but was afraid that his fellow disciples would feel bad, so he only took the demon blood and mixed it with spiritual ink to draw the formation with all his heart.

He treated his fellow disciples with kindness and was sincere in learning the formation.

Several Taixu disciples hurriedly said, "Please go ahead, little brother, and let the blood flow as you like."

Mo Hua smiled and said, "Thank you."

After letting the blood of Cang Mulang flow, Mo Hua said goodbye to them.

Dong Shi said goodbye to Mo Hua, turned around and said to the other Taixu disciples, "Spread the word, little brother wants demon blood."

"Okay!"

So one person told ten people, ten people told a hundred people.

Soon, all the Taixu disciples in the Demon Refining Mountain knew that "little brother wants demon blood".

They were worried that they would not have the opportunity to thank Mo Hua.

A mere demon blood was no problem.

After that, when Mo Hua entered the Demon Refining Mountain, disciples would come to him every now and then, "Junior Brother, we just killed a demon beast, but we haven't bled it yet, do you want it?"

Some disciples would even wait for Mo Hua to come over and bleed it first after killing a demon beast.

This was exactly what Mo Hua wanted.

Demon blood is difficult to obtain, and it can't be exchanged for too many merits, so ordinary disciples can't use it.

Mo Hua felt at ease with it.

In this way, Mo Hua kept making strategies for hunting demons.

The disciples who entered the Demon Refining Mountain followed Mo Hua's strategies and instructions, and when they hunted demon beasts, they would follow the rules and let Mo Hua bleed first.

This gradually formed a kind of "rule" that was agreed upon by convention.

All of this was seen by Elder Xunzi Youxun.

Elder Xun was a little unbelievable.

He suddenly realized that Mo Hua, a child with a young age and poor spiritual root aptitude, had a kind of "prestige" among his fellow disciples of the Taixu Sect, who were born in aristocratic families, were full of geniuses, and everyone had high-grade spiritual roots...

Moreover, this kind of prestige is not the prestige that is superior to fellow disciples.

It is more like the prestige of harmonious coexistence and equal mutual benefit among fellow disciples.

He had almost never seen this situation before.

Elder Xun even felt that it was a little unbelievable...

...

As Mo Hua formulated more and more monster hunting strategies, the low-grade monster area outside the Refining Monster Mountain was occupied by Taixu disciples.

There were disciples from other sects who were dissatisfied and occasionally provoked trouble.

But it was just a small fight and did not cause any trouble.

All over the mountains and plains, there were all his junior brothers. Mo Hua occasionally hunted monsters, let blood, and strolled around the mountains, and he lived a very comfortable life.

And as long as he was free, he would still discuss the matter of customizing spiritual weapons with Master Gu.

During this ten-day break, Master Gu came to Taixu City specially and met Mo Hua once.

"Young Master, the armor you mentioned has been refined..."

Master Gu handed a storage bag to Mo Hua.

"There are two sets of armor in here. They have been improved more than ten times. Now they can be embedded with arrays to realize the functions of spiritual tools. At the same time, they can also be open-sourced and controlled by divine thoughts. They are a special type of array tools between 'array medium' and 'spiritual tools'..."

Mo Hua looked very happy.

He took out two sets of armor from the storage bag and looked at them carefully.

From the outside, these are two ordinary armors.

But the internal structure is mysterious. As Master Gu said, it really took a lot of thought.

"Thank you, Master Gu!" Mo Hua smiled.

"Young Master, you are too polite," Master Gu said with a smile, "Speaking of which, I should be the one to thank you."

"If it weren't for your intelligence and extraordinary formation skills, which helped us a lot, Gushan Weapon Refining Company would probably still be living in poverty..."

Master Gu was quite emotional, and then said sincerely:

"I wonder when you are free to go to Gushan City again, so that I can do my best to entertain you."

Master Gu smiled and said, "Although Gushan City is poor, there are some local game that are delicious and can't be eaten in other places."

Mo Hua's eyes lit up and he nodded repeatedly, "Okay, okay."

Then he felt a little regretful, "However, Mr. Xun doesn't let me run around now. I will definitely go when I have time in the future."

Master Gu looked very happy and bowed his hands and said, "Then it's a deal."

"It's a deal!"

After saying goodbye to Master Gu and returning to the sect, Mo Hua began to draw the first-grade thirteen-pattern five-element formation on the five-element source armor.

After finishing the painting, Mo Hua went to the Taoist room to try it out.

His fireball technique was indeed much more powerful.

But it was hard to estimate how much more powerful it was.

Moreover, the fireball technique was a low-end technique after all, and it did not condense much spiritual power. Even if it was enhanced, the effect was not that obvious.

Mo Hua wanted to try his own forbidden technique, the small meteorite technique.

But he felt that it was a bit too dangerous.

This was a forbidden technique.

Under the five elements amplification, if the spiritual power got out of control again and hurt himself, it would be a big trouble.

Even if he could not hurt himself, it would not be good to damage the puppets and formations in the Taoist room.

Before he entered the door, he promised Elder Yi not to mess around, not to use spells randomly, and not to damage the puppets.

"Then let's try it with Cheng Mo and the others..."

Anyway, this set of five elements source armor was originally meant for them.

Moreover, Cheng Mo is a physical cultivator with strong blood and energy. Even if his spiritual power is out of control and his Taoism backfires, he will be injured after resting for ten days or half a month.

Whether it is the Five Elements Source Array or the Five Elements Source Armor, the structure is relatively stable.

Even if it is out of control, there is no danger to his life.

Especially Cheng Mo, who has thick skin and flesh, and can't be hurt much, is a perfect "little white mouse".

Mo Hua called Cheng Mo and Situ Jian and said with expectation: "Go to the Demon Refining Mountain, I will take you to try something..."

Cheng Mo was a little confused, "What is it?"

"You will know when the time comes."

Mo Hua smiled and kept it a secret.

Cheng Mo looked confused, but he always felt that his little brother seemed to have bad intentions.

Several people arrived at the Demon Refining Mountain.

Mo Hua took out two sets of Five Elements Source Armor, thought for a while, gave one to Cheng Mo, and gave another to Yang Qianjun.

This is armor, it is best for physical cultivators to wear it.

Cheng Mo took the armor in his hand, looked through it, and found that it was a style he had never seen before, so he asked: "Are you going to hunt new monsters?"

Mo Hua shook his head, "Or kill the Cang Mu Wolf."

"Cang Mu Wolf?" Yang Qianjun was also a little confused: "But, this is not Yi Mu armor..."

And he had never seen such armor before.

He was born as a Taoist soldier, and he still had some research on armor.

Although this armor looks ordinary, its internal structure is very special, and it is quite different from all the armor he had seen before.

"Yi Mu armor is used for defense, this armor is not..."

Mo Hua did not say it clearly, but just said, "If this armor is really useful, there is no need to defend when hunting a Cang Mu Wolf, and the battle will be over in one round."

Several people were stunned by what Mo Hua said.

One round, the battle is over?

What is this armor used for...

On the other side, Xun Ziyou saw Mo Hua and his companions gathered together and whispered something, just like before. He thought they were discussing hunting monsters again and didn't pay much attention to it.

Afterwards, Mo Hua and his companions entered the Monster Refining Mountain.

Mo Hua spent an incense stick of time to find a Cang Mu Wolf, and then he followed the old rules, tracking, setting traps, and setting up formations.

Cang Mu Wolf was hit by the formation and was seriously injured.

Cheng Mo and others rushed up to surround and kill as usual.

But what was different from the past was that they were no longer wearing Yi Mu armor for defense, but Mo Hua painted the "Five Elements Source Armor" of the Five Elements Sect's sect formation.

As Cheng Mo and others rushed up, Mo Hua's spiritual consciousness moved, instantly communicating with the Five Elements Source Armor and activating the Five Elements Source Formation.

His spiritual consciousness merged into the Five Elements Formation and merged with the spiritual power of the formation pattern.

On the Five Elements Source Armor, complex and alternative formation patterns lit up.

Cheng Mo and Yang Qianjun also vaguely felt that the aura around them had changed.

The spiritual power seemed to be stirring...

But suddenly, everything stopped.

The light on the armor dissipated, and the abnormal movement of the spiritual power disappeared.

Mo Hua shouted crisply: "Stop!"

Cheng Mo, Yang Qianjun and others who were halfway through the charge were a little surprised and looked back at Mo Hua.

Mo Hua frowned and immediately said: "Retreat first."

Several people didn't understand.

Mo Hua said: "A big guy is coming."

Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and then released their spiritual sense, but they didn't see anything.

But what Mo Hua said must be right.

So several people left the seriously injured Cang Mulang, climbed up a nearby big tree, and looked around.

Sure enough, after a while, the demonic energy suddenly became strong.

A huge pig-headed demon rushed out of the bushes, with deep red eyes, ferocious fangs, and smelly saliva, staring at the Cang Mulang in front of him.

Cheng Mo and others changed their expressions.

Mo Hua also frowned slightly.

"Second-grade intermediate demon beast..."

The strength of the demon beast is much stronger than that of the cultivators of the same realm.

The blood is also several times stronger.

The monsters in the Demon Refining Mountain are generally stronger than those in the Great Black Mountain because most of them have special bloodlines and are rare.

Sect disciples are not good at hunting monsters.

Therefore, most of them are in groups of five, hunting monsters of a lower realm.

For example, the Cangmu Wolf killed by the five mid-stage foundation-building cultivators of Mo Hua is a second-grade primary-level monster.

This is both safe and secure.

Moreover, if Mo Hua had not made a detailed "strategy", it would have been difficult for the five mid-stage foundation-building disciples to successfully hunt a second-grade primary-level monster in the absence of experience.

Not to mention the second-grade intermediate-level monster.

They are definitely not opponents of the second-grade intermediate-level monster, and the risk is higher.

Even if the Five Elements Source Armor can be used to increase spiritual power, it is hard to say who will win.

So at the beginning, Mo Hua only planned to use the second-grade primary-level Cangmu Wolf to try his hand, so that even if the Five Elements Source Armor fails, there will be no worry about life.

But the second-grade intermediate-level monster is completely different.

Even though it was only one level higher, its strength was completely at another level.

Mo Hua looked solemn.

Situ Jian asked in a low voice: "Little Senior Brother, what should we do?"

Mo Hua took a look at the ugly pig-headed monster with surging demonic energy, shook his head, and whispered: "Retreat first."

It was too risky to attack this second-grade intermediate-level pig-headed monster.

This pig-headed monster seemed to be attracted by the demon blood of the Cang Mu Wolf. It wanted to eat the Cang Mu Wolf, so it did not notice Mo Hua and his men.

At this time, it was fighting with the Cang Mu Wolf.

The Cang Mu Wolf was not the opponent of the pig-headed monster, not to mention that it was seriously injured by Mo Hua's formation.

The pig-headed monster bit the Cang Mu Wolf one bite at a time, sucking its blood and gnawing its flesh.

Taking this opportunity, Mo Hua made a quick decision:

"Let's go!"

Cheng Mo and his men nodded, followed Mo Hua, and quietly evacuated from the tree.

Seeing that Mo Hua and his companions were about to leave, Elder Xun, who was secretly watching from a distance, also nodded slightly and thought:

"Knowing when to advance and retreat, not taking risks, that's right..."

Mo Hua made a decisive judgment, and several people quickly evacuated from the vicinity.

The huge pig-headed monster was left alone, feasting on the dead Cang Mu Wolf, gnawing away the flesh and bones.

The pig-headed monster was greedy by nature and ate very quickly.

After eating, it still felt unsatisfied.

The ugly pig nose sniffed in the air, and suddenly the deep red pupils shrank.

It smelled the fresh smell of human flesh.

The pig-headed monster looked cold and cruel, licked its pig lips, slowly stood up, and then screamed shrilly, and the demonic energy suddenly burst out, entangled with black and red foul air, following the delicious human smell, and rushed towards the direction where Mo Hua and his companions evacuated...
