Asking about longevity

Elder Zheng patiently explained the ink painting.

Mo Hua nodded slowly, thoughtfully, "In that case, it is possible for a second-grade formation master to activate a third-grade formation?"

"Theoretically, this is the case, but the conditions will be more stringent," Elder Zheng said. "First of all, this type of formation,

It must be designed and built from the beginning to reduce costs and increase efficiency through ‘reducing grain’. "

"Secondly, a second-level formation master cannot draw this kind of formation. At most, he can only use it."

"Because it is a third-grade formation after all. If the realm is not enough, even if it can be used, the effectiveness will be greatly reduced."

"Again, the conditions for using the formation are the mandatory requirement of divine consciousness."

"What level of spiritual consciousness can you use to use what level of formation. Even if the third-level formation is lowered, it still requires at least the spiritual consciousness of the peak of foundation building. It is still too difficult for ordinary monks."

"If you don't learn formations and hone your spiritual consciousness, most monks, even if they have peak foundation-building cultivation, will not be able to have peak foundation-building spiritual consciousness."

"Therefore, it is almost impossible to use this small amount of third-grade formations in the foundation-building realm. Even if it can be used, the effectiveness of the formations is very weak and does not make much sense."

"but---"

Elder Zheng glanced at Mo Hua and after thinking for a moment, he understood Mo Hua's intention. His eyes lit up and he asked:

"Do you want to try to activate the thunder magnetic array disk that you got from 'killing people and seizing treasures'? "

"I didn't kill anyone!" Mo Hua emphasized again, "Besides, it's not about killing people to seize treasures."

I am a serious cultivator and generally do not do such unseemly things.

Unless forced to do so.

Elder Zheng obviously didn't take it too seriously, and pondered for a moment, "Although the conditions for using the Falling Pattern Formation are harsh, your talent is so good that you unexpectedly meet them -"

In particular, the super level of spiritual consciousness has exceeded three levels, which is really unbelievable.

Elder Zheng is still shocked when he thinks about it.

Sometimes he even had the urge to open Mo Hua's head to see what kind of structure he had in his mind, and why he had the consciousness of peak Foundation Establishment in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment.

"The thunder and magnet formation works on microscopic thunder and magnets. It is different from the general formation. It does not pay attention to the size of the power or the scale of the spiritual power. The use of 'drop pattern' has little effect."

"However, after all, you are only at the second level. Even if you activate the thunder magnetic array disk, you can only activate it a little. The real thunder magnetic effect cannot be exerted to one-tenth of the level——"

Mo Hua nodded, "A little bit is enough."

He didn't fully count on the thunder disk.

The thunder disk is just a "stepping stone". His real reliance is the secondary thunder pattern produced by Guiyuan, that is, the "little thunder man".

"As long as you have an idea." Elder Zheng said.

Smart children don't need to be restrained too much and let them learn things on their own. In this way, they will be surprised.

Of course, it would be better if this "surprise" could not develop into a "fright"——"

Elder Zheng glanced at Mo Hua silently, then pondered for a moment, took out a jade slip, moved his consciousness slightly, entered some words in it, and handed the jade slip to Mo Hua.

"I have recorded some of my experiences on 'reducing wrinkles' into this jade slip. You can take a look at it when you have time. I won't say much else." "

Mo Hua was overjoyed, took the jade slip and thanked him: "Thank you, senior!"

After talking about the formation, the jade slips were obtained, the tea was drunk, and Elder Zheng was about to go back, Mo Hua stood up and left.

"Ink painting."

Elder Zheng suddenly stopped him, his eyes looking thoughtful, as if he wanted to say something, but he was a little worried.

"Senior, is there anything else?" Mo Hua asked doubtfully.

Elder Zheng thought for a moment, sighed, and slowly said:

"The matter of 'lowering patterns' is not recognized by orthodox formation masters. Most of the formation masters in the world seek higher formation methods and will not lower themselves to use low-level formations."

"But you have to know that 'reducing wrinkles' itself is not a trick or a self-degradation. It is also a kind of 'reduction of wrinkles'.

road'. "

"In this world, low-grade and high-grade things coexist. The same is true for formations, especially large-scale and large-scale formations."

"First-grade, second-grade, third-grade and even above-third-grade formations are all taken into consideration and work together in the grand formation."

"Just like in this world, Qi refining, foundation building, golden elixir, and even Yuhua Dongxu, regardless of their level of realm, all live together in this world."

"The principles of heaven and earth are all-encompassing, accommodate all things, and benefit the common people."

"Real world events must concern all the people in the world and profoundly affect all monks in this world, from Qi Refining to Dongxu, from low-level to high-level."

"Yu Hua Dongxu, although his realm is high and his cultivation is strong, there is still too much that can't be done by one person alone."

"Arrayments are the same as people. Sometimes, a simple high-grade array may not really benefit the people of the world."

"If you want to form a large formation, you must include thousands of formations, regardless of superiority or inferiority."

“If you want to accomplish great things, you must concentrate all your efforts, from refining Qi to Dongxu, you cannot ignore it.

Elder Zheng took a deep look at Mo Hua, "This is just some gossip, but -"

"You are too talented, and you learn formations too quickly. I am afraid that you will keep studying upwards, learn too quickly, and rise too high, but you will ignore some underlying issues."

Mo Hua was stunned and lost his mind.

He couldn't help but think of what his mother said to him a long time ago, when he first started learning formations and making a stove for his mother:

"It's not just the formation master, all the cultivators are the same. When people go up, they won't look down..."

When he first heard this, he felt complicated.

Thinking back now, he actually felt a little alert.

"Did I forget to look down when I was going up?"

Mo Hua frowned.

Seeing Mo Hua busy and thoughtful, Elder Zheng was surprised and relieved.

Sure enough, if you don't have the heart of Tao, you won't understand it no matter what, but if you have it, you can understand it with a little reminder.

After bidding farewell to Elder Zheng and returning to the disciples' residence, Mo Hua sat on the futon and thought deeply.

Elder Zheng might have just made a temporary suggestion with good intentions, but these words touched him deeply.

The cultivators practice Taoism, one level at a time.

Cultivation, formation, elixir, refining, talisman, etc. all have "levels". The cultivators follow this set of "levels" and move up step by step.

Every step, every level, makes you superior.

There are certainly high and low realms, and there are certainly strong and weak cultivations, but things like "levels" seem to be forcibly defined by people following certain rules.

My master seemed to have mentioned this to me at the beginning.

Levels are "rules" set by humans, and are the limitations of the Tao by humans, not the Tao itself.

Cultivators spend their entire lives pursuing "levels".

After practicing hard and crossing the ranks, the cultivation level has been enhanced and the skills have been improved, but————"-Has the nature of human beings changed?

High-level cultivators are human beings, but low-level cultivators are not human beings?

If the realm is improved, can they be superior to others? Can they rely on the advantage of cultivation to ignore, despise, despise, and even exploit, oppress, and slaughter low-level cultivators?

More importantly, the ranks are rules set by people.

According to this rule, will the end of "ranks" really be "Tao"? Can you really become an "immortal"?

Mo Hua had doubts in his heart.

For the first time, the concept of "rank" showed signs of initial disappearance in his mind.

At the same time, he also had a glimmer of enlightenment.

What cultivators should seek is "Tao", not "rank"

The second rank is condensed from the first rank.

The foundation is built by refining qi.

The Tao embraces all things, so there is no need to see the ranks clearly.

You can't just learn high-ranking ones Formation, ignoring the application of low-grade formation.

Not to mention only pursuing a high realm, ignoring the common people below the high level.

Mo Hua thought again: "But the problem is that the 'quality' of this realm seems to be something that cannot be cultivated—————"

Although the rules are set by people, they have been passed down for tens of thousands of years and have become an inherent practice system.

If you want to practice step by step and gain more powerful power step by step, you must follow this framework.

With his current cultivation and cognition, he can't escape.

He still has to follow the steps and move up step by step.

Formation from the first grade to the second grade, from the second grade to the third grade-the same is true for cultivation, from refining qi to building foundation, from building foundation to golden elixir, and then to feathering.————

But·—

"If I keep going up and keep following this framework, will one day I become like other high-level cultivators, relying on my powerful cultivation, looking down on others and looking down on others?"

"In this way, wouldn't it become seeking 'quality' instead of seeking 'Tao'? ”

It’s not impossible.

Mo Hua knows that the environment will change people.

If one day, he really has been in a high position for a long time, it’s hard to say what he will think about at that time, whether he will go against his original intention, and whether he will forget his current feelings.

“When people go to higher places, they will not look down——————

The words of his mother sounded in Mo Hua’s ears again.

He pondered for a moment and thought:

“As long as I remember this sentence, no matter how high my realm is or how strong my cultivation is, I will always remember to look down, and there should be no problem.—””

“When my cultivation is high enough, as high as the sky, and I can still remember to look down, then maybe I can really know what ‘Tao’ is and what ‘Xian’ is. "

Practicing Taoism step by step, these thoughts and insights, seemingly useless, will settle in his heart and lay the foundation for his future pursuit of Taoism and immortality.

Mo Hua nodded, his eyes bright.

When he came to his senses, he realized that he still had things to do.

"Thunder Magnetic Array Plate!"

This is the real business at the moment.

Mo Hua began to collect his thoughts and continued to study the Thunder Magnetic Array Plate.

He first read the array experience given to him by Elder Zheng from beginning to end, and simulated it in his mind again, and then began to fiddle with the Thunder Magnetic Array Plate in front of him.

The Thunder Magnetic Array Plate, with jade as the base, red gold edging, silver thread engraving, dense magnetic patterns on it, and a very precise structure. This should be a set of third-grade array plates.

But because the deceased "Mr. Yuan" had limited attainments in array formations , the formation plate was "degraded", so the true grade of the formation plate is actually between the second and third grades, which is considered "quasi-third grade".

This is a reflection of Mr. Yuan's inability, and it also makes things easier for Mo Hua.

Mo Hua began to follow the instructions of Elder Zheng and use the second-grade formation eye inside the formation plate to forcefully activate this third-grade formation plate.

As Elder Zheng said, this is an "exceptional" use.

Even if Mo Hua's spiritual consciousness has reached the limit of the peak of nineteen patterns, it is still very difficult to activate it.

Moreover, the consumption of spiritual stones was also huge, but in the blink of an eye, hundreds of spiritual stones were integrated into the thunder magnetic array disk like water, and they continued to be consumed...

Mo Hua felt a little distressed.

If it fails, all these spiritual stones will be in vain.

However, in order to study the Thunder Magnetic Formation and the natal magic weapon, these spiritual stones must be spent even if they are not spent.

Fortunately, the formation itself was designed by others according to the specifications, and he only briefly activated it, so it was not too difficult.

And the Thunder Magnetic Array Disk did not live up to Mo Hua's spiritual stone.

After Yi Zhuang incense was poured out, it trembled slightly and flashed out a light blue thunder magnetic light. A secondary thunder flow with clear "instructions" penetrated the guest order along the formation disk and connected a small area. Fixed magnetic pattern.

With Mo Hua's strength, he is still unable to fully activate this thunder magnetic array disk. This formation can only go so far.

But that's enough.

On the bottom layer of the sect token, the structure of the "meritorious merit library" is the most rigorous. The dense magnetic patterns are like "bricks and stones", building a city to protect the inner secrets.

This is a solid metamagnetic city.

Ink painting is not about conquering this "city".

Of course, with his ability, he couldn't break it.

His thunder magnet villain can only "tamper with" and has no "offensive and defensive" capabilities.

Therefore, he needed to use the "quasi-third-grade" thunder magnetic array disk to generate a thunder magnetic current with a "digestion" command, and open a small opening in this "city".

In this way, the villain Lei Ci can pass through this "opening", bypass the magnetic pattern defense, and penetrate into the "merit library" at the core of the Demon Sect.

The thunder formation is used for offense and defense, and the thunder villain is used for penetration. This combination is perfect.

Under the control of the ink painting, the thunder magnetic array plate produced a subtle secondary thunder flow, like an arrow, whizzing out along the established magnetic lines, hitting the "city wall" constructed by the magnetic lines at the bottom of the Demon Sect. "Above.

For a moment, the electro-optical energy surged.

But the whole process happened in the microscopic thunder magnet. Except for the ink painting that silently controlled everything, no one could notice this magical and subtle scene.

Soon, the impregnable magnetic pattern city wall was hit by arrow-like secondary thunder currents produced by the magnetic thunder array.

"Boom" made a small gap.

The little Lei Ci man immediately followed the gap and penetrated into the Demon Sect's meritorious Yuan Ci library with a "pili" sound, leaving only a small streak of lightning.

"Success!"

Mo Hua's eyes lit up.

This is the first time he has successfully activated the thunder magnetic array disk, which can be regarded as the first step towards becoming an "orthodox" thunder magnetic array master.

This attempt also gave him the initial idea in his mind to combine the thunder and magnetic formation with the thunder and lightning villain to complement each other and carry out thunder and lightning attack, defense and penetration.

The villain Lei Ci successfully penetrated into the "Magnetic Pattern City", and Mo Hua began to work officially.

Generally speaking, this kind of obvious attack and penetration will be noticed by other lightning array masters.

But Mr. Yuan is dead, and the Demon Sect's Thunder Magnetic Array has no one to maintain it. Even the "Ke Qing Ling", which serves as the interface for the Yuan Magnetic Renewal Array, is in Mo Hua's hands.

Mo Hua is both a thief and a bodyguard, so he naturally has no scruples.

The little Lei Ci infiltrated into the "Vault of Merit", and with the help of the Little Thunder Ci, Mo Hua could sense the dense magnetic patterns in front of him, which were as neat and tight as "tofu cubes".

Ink painting is now relatively proficient in magnetic pattern annotation.

These densely packed magnetic patterns can be seen in his eyes, and in just a few breaths, he will automatically "convert" them into words:

"Blood Lotus Technique, third level, entry-level technique, absorbs the blood of others and blends it into one's own blood. It can operate for up to twelve weeks -? Requires one hundred magic points."

"Blood Lotus Fruit, the evil substance needed to cultivate the Blood Lotus Art, is nourished with human blood, once every three years. Demonic Merit Points: Two "Ten-year Blood Lotus Fruit, nourished with human blood, the Blood Lotus Fruit has grown for ten years ---Magic points: two hundred. ""

"The blood-sucking knife is a second-grade evil weapon. It kills people and sucks blood. The more it sucks, the stronger it becomes. This is a standard evil weapon, which is simplified from the devil's most precious treasure, the Sky-Swallowing Blood Blade——·Demon Honor Points: four hundred."

The place below is densely packed with a wide variety of Demon Sect practice methods and items.

"It is indeed the Demon Sect's merit library."

"Could the Four Elephant Blue Dragon Formation be hidden inside?"

Mo Hua said in his heart.

If the Green Dragon Formation, the top formation of the Four Elephants with the power of the divine beast, is really hidden in the treasure house of this demon sect, then it will save me a lot of trouble.

There are signs of his own natal magic weapon.

Mo Hua said silently in his heart:

"Four Elephants Blue Dragon Formation, Four Elephants Green Dragon Formation - it must be there, it must be there -"

After reciting this silently several times, the ink painting began to "retrieve" one magnetic pattern after another.

One magnetic pattern after another was "deciphered" into words by the ink paintings, and then recorded on the jade slips.

The entire Demon Sect had no idea that their most precious "treasury of merit" was being "peeped" bit by bit by Mo Hua.

As for this blood-sucking demon sect, I don't know where the inheritance is. There are quite a lot of meritorious items in it. The ink paintings have to be "peeped" one by one and "decoded" one by one. It is impossible to read ten lines at a glance, so it is quite time-consuming.

In this way, it took half a month for Mo Hua to finally decipher the Demon Sect's "Treasury of Merit", and he recorded many of the items.

Most of these inheritances or items are related to magic cultivation and cannot be used in ink paintings.

A very small number of them are inherited from the righteous way. They may have been stolen by murder. They are not of high grade and are not considered rare. Compared with the fifth-grade Taixu Sect's profound meritorious service seal scripts, they pale in comparison. Even ink paintings can't look down on them. .

Among them, there is no shadow of the Four-Elephant Azure Dragon Formation.

Seeing that there were fewer and fewer things left, Mo Hua couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

If the Azure Dragon Formation Diagram cannot be found in this merit library, then the matter of the natal magic weapon will be extremely difficult.

He could only think of a way to kill the leader of the Demon Sect who was in the late Jindan stage and was armed with the Azure Dragon Formation and whose strength was unfathomable.

In this way, the difficulty becomes several times higher.

In the third-level state boundary, there is really no clue to kill such a big demon in the Golden Core Realm, who only has Mo Hua who has cultivated in the late stage of Foundation Establishment.

"Let me be a little lazy - let me be a little less worried -"

"Give me the Four Elephants Blue Dragon Formation"

Mo Hua hoped in his heart.

But in the Demon Sect's merit library, the Four Elephants Blue Dragon Formation never appeared.

Mo Hua could only be patient, keep searching and deciphering.

In this way, he deciphered until the last item.

This item has the highest encryption level, and it looks like a "formation". Mo Hua's heart skipped a beat.

Can't help but look forward to it.

"Blue Dragon Formation, Blue Dragon Formation—.—"

Mo Hua silently recited it twice in his heart, and then began to "decrypt"

Decryption took a while.

What finally appeared in front of the ink painting was a three-character item name.

Not surprisingly, it is not the Four-Elephant Blue Dragon Formation.

The hanging heart in Mo Hua is finally dead.

"Sure enough, there is no such thing as pie in the sky——·

Since the Four Symbols Azure Dragon Formation is so precious and was researched by Mr. Tu using the lives of so many demon cultivators in the Ten Thousand Demons Valley, it is impossible for it to fall into his hands so simply. Mo Hua sighed and said in disappointment. After deciphering the last three words, I took a look and suddenly froze.

At that moment, he thought he had seen it wrong.

This is··

"Reverse Spirit Formation?!"

Under the name of the formation, there is a line of comments:

"Twenty Patterns of the Second Grade, an alternative formation that contains a certain amount of spiritual power. It is extremely difficult to comprehend and the effect is unknown.

Use unknown. Demonic points: three thousand————”

Mo Hua took a slow breath.

He never expected that the last thing hidden in the Demon Sect’s merit library would actually be—·

The second-grade and twenty-mark counter-spiritual formation? !
