Asking about longevity

This monster is a demon cultivator, and not just an ordinary one.

In addition to practicing demonic skills and transforming its body into a "demon", it also has mysterious four-symbol demon patterns painted on its body!

Mo Hua licked his lips gently.

Four-symbol array!

This is a different array from the five elements and eight trigrams array systems.

Taixu Sect does not pass it down.

Even ordinary sects do not have the inheritance of the four-symbol array, which is a very rare array.

"We have to catch this monster, peel off its skin, and copy down the array pattern..."

Mo Hua's eyes lit up, and he pushed the Water Step to the extreme. His footsteps were like the wind, following the bloodstains on the ground, chasing after the seriously injured demon cultivator.

The demon cultivator had an arm broken, half of his body was covered in blood, and he crawled across the ground, leaving an obvious bloodstain.

But it was a demon cultivator after all, and his body recovered quickly.

The bloodstains on the ground were like a spring at first, and gradually became like a stream, leaving only intermittent bloodstains in the end.

But no matter how faint the bloodstains were, they could not be hidden from Mo Hua's consciousness.

Moreover, he had a calculation.

With the guidance of the causal line, it was almost impossible for this demon cultivator to escape.

After chasing for an incense stick, the bloodstains on the ground were almost unnoticeable, and only a faint smell of blood remained in the air.

Mo Hua could only continue to chase according to the light red blood-colored causal line.

But after chasing for a while, the causal line suddenly broke.

Mo Hua frowned, looked up, and found that he had come to the depths of this mountain forest without knowing when.

The trees in front of him were densely packed and covered by fog.

There was no end to the front, back, left and right.

At first glance, he had no idea where he was.

What was even more strange was that when the consciousness was released, everything seemed normal under perception, but only by carefully distinguishing, could he find that the consciousness could not "see" anything...

It was as if something quietly absorbed the spying consciousness.

It was also as if the entire mountain forest had woven a layer of "fog" of divine thoughts, blocking the perception of the cultivator's consciousness.

The seriously injured monster disappeared into the forest, like a fish swimming into the sea, a tiger returning to the forest, and disappeared without a trace.

"Lost?"

Mo Hua was slightly stunned, and his brows were furrowed more and more.

With his divine sense and divine calculation, he had basically never lost anyone, let alone a seriously injured cultivator like this...

This dense forest...

Mo Hua stood there blankly, staring at the dense forest for a long time, thinking hard, and suddenly realized something, his pupils trembled.

What can isolate divine sense?

Such a large-scale isolation of divine sense must be a formation!

But ordinary formations actually cannot "isolate" divine sense.

Most secret formations take into account both sound insulation and divine sense isolation.

But this so-called "isolation" of divine sense formation, in principle, uses formations to create chaotic spiritual power and form a "barrier" to "isolate" divine sense perception.

The underlying principle is confusion at the spiritual power level, not isolation at the divine mind level.

When using the divine sense to spy on it, one can feel an obvious, obstructive "barrier".

But the dense forest in front of him did not have it.

There was no obvious "barrier", but it could block the divine sense from spying, making it difficult for people to see what was going on.

And this kind of formation that can truly "block" perception from the divine sense level, in principle, must contain the use of some kind of divine power.

In other words, the formation in this dense forest is...

Shinto formation? !

Mo Hua took a breath of cold air.

Surprisingly...

Buy one get one free? !

He never thought that in this mountain outside the monster refining mountain, which he was used to, there were two kinds of rare formations hidden quietly under his nose.

The Four Symbols formation on the demon cultivator.

And, the...

Shinto formation that was integrated with the dense forest in front of him!

Mo Hua released his divine sense to take a look again, but once the divine sense entered the deep forest, it was like mud entering the sea, without any sound.

Even if it weren't for his powerful and qualitatively changed spiritual consciousness, his keen perception, and his subtle spiritual thoughts, he would not have noticed that his spiritual consciousness did not "see" anything when it was spying on this dense forest.

The spiritual consciousness "turned a blind eye"...

This dense forest, in the spiritual consciousness, exists, but it does not exist.

Mo Hua was amazed.

What a brilliant method.

What a powerful formation!

Mo Hua immediately wanted to step into the forest and study the divine formation in the dense forest, but he hesitated as soon as he raised his foot.

"This dense forest is a bit dangerous..."

The demon cultivator was injured and still ran into the forest.

This means that this dense forest is likely to be its shelter.

Such a large dense forest and such a brilliant divine formation must not be set up by ordinary cultivators.

Then in the depths of this dense forest, there is a high probability that there are demon cultivators' accomplices.

Birds of a feather flock together.

Those who can associate with demon cultivators, even if they are not demon cultivators, must be other cruel demon cultivators.

The cultivation level is at least foundation building, and it is possible to reach the golden elixir stage.

Now he is alone, with only the foundation building stage in the middle stage. It is still too dangerous to rashly enter the dense forest without anyone to protect him.

Mo Hua sighed.

He wandered in front of the dense forest for a long time, hesitating in his heart, weighing the pros and cons, and could only give up temporarily.

"What a pity..."

The divine formation is clearly in front of him.

But in the current situation, he can't take risks rashly, so he should go back first and then make a long-term plan.

Anyway, the forest is here, and it won't run away.

Mo Hua looked back again with nostalgia, and took a look at the forest, as if he was looking at his own vegetable garden.

"Wait until everything is ready, then come back to pick vegetables!"

Mo Hua nodded, and then left reluctantly.

...

After Mo Hua left, Xun Ziyou looked at his back, estimated Mo Hua's movement trajectory, and after confirming that he would not be in danger in the short term, he walked towards the forest.

His first priority in the Demon Refining Mountain was to ensure Mo Hua's safety.

Other things were secondary.

Now that Mo Hua was safe, he would take some time to check on the demon cultivator.

The forest was misty, the trees were tall, primitive and desolate.

Xun Ziyou walked around the forest for a few times, released his spiritual sense, scanned a few times, but still found nothing, and frowned.

I am a late Jindan cultivator, chasing a late foundation building demon cultivator, how could I lose him?

I have indeed been a little slack in these years, but I would never be so lazy.

It is definitely not my problem.

Xun Ziyou was a little dissatisfied, so he turned his head and said to the right:

"You lost it too."

A shadow appeared on the right, and a man in Chongxu Taoist robes appeared. His face was a little embarrassed, but he said:

"I was watching Xiao'er, and I didn't pay much attention to other things."

"What?"

The elder of Chongxu Sect looked at Xun Ziyou and pretended to be indifferent, "You lost it?"

Xun Ziyou didn't bother to pay attention to him.

The two of them released their spiritual senses and searched the mountains and forests, and then frowned.

"It's really gone..." The elder of Chongxu Sect also became serious, with a puzzled look:

"What means did that demon cultivator have to hide from the spiritual sense of us two Jindan cultivators?"

"Hidden technique? Hidden spiritual weapon?"

Xun Ziyou shook his head.

The cultivation world is vast, and there are many types of skills, Taoist methods and spiritual weapons. It is difficult for him to determine for a while.

Logically speaking, with such a huge gap in realm and consciousness, even if there are some means of concealment or covering up the breath, it is impossible to hide from their perception.

Moreover, there is a more important question.

Xun Ziyou frowned and said:

"How could there be a demon cultivator in the Demon Refining Mountain?"

The elder of Chongxu Sect also looked solemn:

"There are formations to seal the mountain on all sides, and there is a formation to monitor the demon aura at the mountain gate. Every disciple who enters the mountain has been patted with the evil spirit mirror. We elders will also patrol the mountain continuously..."

"There will only be sect disciples in this mountain. There can't be other cultivators except us Jindan elders who are patrolling."

"How could there be a demon cultivator?"

"How did it enter the mountain, how did it hide in the mountain, and what is its plan?"

Both of them looked a little solemn.

"Do you want to search the mountain?"

"It will make too much noise, which will make things worse, make people panic, cause trouble, and may not be found..."

After all, the demon cultivator disappeared under the noses of the two Jindan cultivators.

"Watch here for a while?"

Xun Ziyou shook his head: "We don't have that much time."

Their primary task is to protect Mo Hua and Linghu Xiao.

Both sighed.

The elder of Chongxu Sect looked at the forest in front of him again, and the more he looked, the more confused he became. He murmured in a low voice:

"What means were used to deceive our consciousness..."

Xun Ziyou also stared at the forest, frowning in confusion.

After watching for a while, Xun Ziyou was suddenly startled, his eyes solemn:

"Xuan Jian, you have been in this Refining Demon Mountain for so long, have you ever seen this forest?"

The elder of Chongxu Sect was stunned, and looked at the forest in front of him again, and his brows slowly frowned.

"It seems... a little strange..."

The Refining Demon Mountain is very large, and there are many forests.

But as an elder, he has been stationed in the Refining Demon Mountain for a long time, and he has been to most places.

But the forest in front of him, although it looks like an ordinary forest, is similar to other forests, at most it is a little wider, and you can't see the edge at a glance, but in comparison, the aura is indeed much more unfamiliar...

"You mean, it's not that the demon cultivator is good at hiding, but... there is something fishy about this forest?"

The elder of Chongxu Sect asked.

Xun Ziyou nodded slowly.

The elder of Chongxu Sect released his spiritual sense and scanned the area.

But although they are Jindan, their spiritual sense is strong, but they have not changed qualitatively, their perception is not sharp enough, and they have not mastered the formation and have no experience in related formations.

After a sweep of the spiritual sense, the surrounding forests are still empty.

The elder of Chongxu Sect couldn't help asking: "What's the trick?"

Xun Ziyou shook his head.

He hasn't figured it out yet.

Xun Ziyou frowned and thought, and suddenly thought of Mo Hua.

He remembered that Mo Hua just stared at this forest for a long time, and his eyes became brighter and brighter, as if he had discovered something.

After that, he tried to enter the forest, but hesitated for a moment and didn't go in. Before leaving, he turned back and looked at the strange forest meaningfully.

Xun Ziyou pondered carefully, somewhat unbelievable.

Mo Hua... couldn't he see anything?

"But how is it possible?"

The two of them, Jindan cultivators, couldn't see it, so how could he, a foundation-building cultivator, see it?

Xun Ziyou frowned.

But if it's true...

If Mo Hua really saw something.

That means the secret of this forest involves something that Mo Hua is very proficient in, but he is not good at.

That is... formation!

This dense forest was set up with a formation, so it can block the Jindan cultivator's spiritual sense without knowing it, and provide a hiding place for the demon cultivator?

What kind of formation?

Xun Ziyou looked at the ordinary forest in front of him. There was no trace of the formation, no clues at all, and he looked a little confused.

What kind of formation can this have?

How did you figure out the child in Mo Hua?

No matter what, he is also a golden elixir.

He who has lived for more than two hundred years cannot see it, but this child, who is less than twenty years old, can see it...

Xun Ziyou sighed deeply.

Geniuses just hate.

Especially the genius in formation.

The formation is too obscure and the water inside is too deep.

For some formation geniuses, you don’t even know what makes them so good, let alone how big the gap is between you and them...

The elder of Chongxu Sect on the side saw Xun Ziyou's expression change, sighed, frowned and asked:

"Do you know something?"

Xun Ziyou was startled, then came back to his senses. After thinking about it, he felt that these were just his guesses, so it was better not to tell them out yet.

"No, I just lamented that we elders were negligent and allowed a demon cultivator to sneak in." Xunzi sighed.

Hearing this, the elder of Chongxu Sect also nodded.

Xun Ziyou said again: "This matter is weird. We will discuss the solution after reporting it back to the sect. Please don't press it for now, so as not to let the news leak..."

"That's fine." Elder Chongxumen nodded.

After the two discussed it, they were ready to leave.

But before leaving, Elder Chongxumen suddenly remembered something, felt a little palpitated, and asked:

"By the way, what's going on with that 'sword-riding' thing?"

Xun Ziyou pretended to be stupid and said, "What is 'sword control'?"

The elder of Chongxu Sect was not angry, "Don't pretend to be stupid for me. I saw it with my own eyes. Even though the child was a hundred to tens of feet away, he didn't gather his sword energy. His consciousness was shocked, and a spiritual sword hit him directly. It flew out with a golden light and exploded with a ball of sword energy, crushing the demon cultivator's demonized arm and staining half of his body with blood..."

That kid named Mo Hua is only in the middle stage of foundation building.

A sword wielder of this level has such sharp techniques, such a long distance, such a fast speed, and such a powerful power...

Elder Chongxumen is still frightened when he thinks about it now.

Xun Ziyou looked "shocked" and shook his head:

"No way, how is it possible? You must have seen it wrong."

Elder Chongxumen was speechless, "How could I have seen it wrong?"

"I just misjudged it." Xun Ziyou said with a serious look on his face, "That is not a sword, it is just a hidden weapon with a formation. Its power is actually average, but the demon cultivator was seriously injured and unable to resist. That’s why it was so miserable.”

The elder of Chongxu Sect was in disbelief, "A hidden weapon with a formation? Your nonsense needs to be reliable!"

Xun Ziyou asked back: "Then have you ever seen a swordsman in the middle stage of foundation building who can wield a sword of 160 feet and still be so powerful?"

The elder of Chongxu Sect hesitated, "This... is not..."

This kind of thing really goes against his common sense.

"Furthermore, sword-wielding..." Xun Ziyou said again, "Even your genius disciple of Chongxu Sect, who has a bright sword mind, hasn't learned to wield a sword yet. How can this kid Mo Hua be able to use it if he is not a swordsman?" Such a powerful sword?"

"That's right." Elder Chongxumen couldn't help but nod.

Apart from anything else, when it comes to swordsmanship talent, he dares to conclude that Linghuxiao is definitely the best in Chongxu Sect, and even among the best in the entire Qianxue State.

If Mo Hua really knew how to control a sword, and if he could control such a powerful sword, wouldn't he be even more talented than the swordsman genius of Chongxu Sect?

This is absolutely impossible!

Elder Chongxumen gradually became convinced.

He was far away and couldn't see clearly. He just "felt" that Mo Hua seemed to be wielding a sword. Then he was far away and hit the demon cultivator. The sword energy overflowed and a cloud of blood mist exploded.

But now that I think about it, Yu Jian is obviously unreasonable.

It is only reasonable to control a certain type of spiritual weapon with a special formation and the shape of a hidden weapon.

The elder of Chongxu Sect nodded slightly.

Xun Ziyou next to him saw this and silently breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally got over it...

When Mo Hua does this kind of "conspicuous package" thing, he still has to talk nonsense and find reasons to round him up, so as not to attract unnecessary attention.

But fortunately, each thing this kid did was more "outrageous" than the last.

If you say it, others may not believe it.

On the contrary, it was my own nonsense excuse, which seemed much more "reliable".

Xun Ziyou sighed silently in his heart.

Not only to keep him safe, but also to make up excuses for him and make up his lies.

Is it easy for you?

"If I have a chance in the future, I'll let this kid treat me to a drink..."

…

On the other side, Mo Hua, Linghu Xiao and others met.

"Run away and can't be found." Mo Hua sighed.

Several people felt a little regretful that they were so close to killing the demon cultivator.

"Let's go back first and see how Cheng Mo's injury is. As for the demon cultivator, since he's in the mountains, he won't be able to escape sooner or later."

If you dare to attack my junior brother from the Taixu Sect, you will skin him sooner or later!

Mo Hua said silently in his heart.

Everyone walked back, but on the way back, Linghu Xiao was obviously a little worried.

Behind him, he secretly looked at Mo Hua several times, and finally couldn't help but ask:

"Can you wield a sword?"

Mo Hua was a little surprised, nodded and said: "I know a little bit, but it's not an orthodox sword control. It mainly relies on the formations on the sword."

Linghu smiled and said "hmm" and said nothing more, but in his heart he regarded Mo Hua as an unfathomable "master".

"Sooner or later, I'll have a fight with him..."

Linghuxiao said firmly in his heart.

When they arrived at the foot of the Taixu Gate, everyone separated.

Linghu smiled and returned to Chongxumen.

Mo Hua and others returned to Taixu Gate.

When he arrived at the mountain gate, Situ Jian asked, "Senior brother, do you want to tell the elder at the gate about the demon cultivator?"

Mo Hua thought about it and felt that this matter was a bit strange. Others did not need to talk about it, but the elders in the sect had to inform it.

"Yeah." Mo Hua nodded.

Then he went to Elder Song, who was responsible for attendance and other disciple matters within the sect, and told him about meeting the demon cultivator at Demon Refining Mountain.

"Demon cultivator!"

When Elder Song heard this, his expression immediately became serious.

"Okay, I will inform the sect elders on duty at Demon Refining Mountain about this matter so that they can pay attention and ensure the safety of the disciples."

"The elder on duty at Demon Refining Mountain? Are you Elder Xunzi Youxun?" Mo Hua asked.

Elder Song was a little surprised, "Do you know him?"

Mo Hua shook his head, "We met him once, and I heard his name, but I don't count him as acquaintance."

Elder Song nodded, "Yes, if anything happens then, Elder Xun will ask you again."

Mo Hua nodded, "Yeah, okay."

After reporting to the sect, Mo Hua felt relieved and went to see Cheng Mo again.

Cheng Mo's injury improved a lot.

"We avenged you and cut off the monster's arm."

Mo Hua also showed the small section of his arm to Cheng Mo, and then put it away himself.

Cheng Mo's breath was a little weak, and he smiled bitterly and said, "Thank you, little senior brother."

Mo Hua saw that he looked a little depressed and said:

"That's a demon cultivator. It's very strong. The five of us worked together and only broke one of its arms and let it run away."

"You take good care of your injuries. Once your injuries are healed, let's go find the place together and chop the monster into pieces and peel off the skin!"

When Cheng Mo heard this, he perked up and nodded with a smile:

"good!"
