Asking about longevity

Chapter 720 Array System

There are more and more people who are "guiding" in ink painting.

 The more customized spiritual weapons you refine, the more you refine them.

 The number of weapon refining arrays designed is also increasing.

Mo Hua thought about it for a while, and then simply gathered these formation diagrams together, gradually forming a system for customizing spiritual weapons.

This spiritual weapon system covers a wide range of things.

 Including reconnaissance, surveillance, early warning and other functions to anticipate enemy opportunities;

 Including formations that trap enemies such as quicksand, dungeons, golden locks, and wooden bindings;

 Including slashing with swords, stabbing with spear blades, striking with fists and feet, and other armors for strong defense;

Also includes Taoist robes for magical defense such as fire, water, wood, and poison...

 Only there are fewer attack weapons.

 Because most of the attacking spiritual weapons used by the children of aristocratic families are the inherited spiritual weapons passed down from their ancestors.

 The custom-made weapons made by ink paintings are definitely not as powerful as these inherited spiritual weapons.

 Senior brother and sister, they have profound cultivation and strong strength.

 Affected by the increase in the Five Elements Source Formation, although the power of the spell has increased, its movement has become more restricted, and it has truly become a fixed-point "glass cannon".

But the children of aristocratic families still emphasize "one force can defeat all laws".

This is a very powerful formation, but it has only been used in a handful of times since it reached the border of Qianxue State.

 For close-quarters killing, one must be flexible in advance and retreat, and rely more on body skills.

 So if you can’t fight, don’t fight.

 At first he was hanging out with his senior brothers and sisters.

 The biggest problem with physical training is also limited movement.

 But despite this, this set of customized spiritual weapons has begun to take shape.

The Five Elements Source Formation is the ultimate formation of the Five Elements Sect in the past. It can strengthen the Five Elements and increase spiritual power.

  First, because it is not used.

 But the advantages are great, and the disadvantages are even greater.

 However, after careful consideration, Mo Hua found that this system seemed to be missing a piece:

 Spiritual power increase.

 “Five Elements Source Formation!”

 The formation and spiritual weapon systems already have a basic framework and prototype.

  For example, an armor-breaking blade is used to break the enemy's hard armor.

From now on, we just need to continue to improve the level of spiritual weapons and formations, continue to iterate, continue to complete, and continue to improve, so that this system can shine.

Or it can be a fire sword, a water sword, a gold sword, etc., which are used to supplement the means of attribute attacks for disciples who lack spiritual attributes.

 Hence, they don’t use many of these attack weapons, and they don’t design many ink paintings.

 The enemies they can defeat do not need the Five Elements Source Formation to increase.

 The second reason is that the Five Elements Source Formation is very demanding to use.

 There are pros and cons.

 Integrate early warning, enemy entrapment, attack, and protection into one.

 Physical cultivation relies on strong blood and strong strength to kill at close quarters, but it also has the attribute of spiritual roots, and the blood itself is also transformed from spiritual power through the meridians.

 Most of the spiritual weapons he customized have specific functions.

 But only this time.

The only time the vulture was captured, with the increase of the Five Elements Golden Source Formation, Senior Sister Murong used a superior Taoist technique that condensed the colorful rays of light to kill the vulture.

 A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall unless absolutely necessary. There is no need to take risks and fight to the death with a powerful enemy.

Especially for spiritual practitioners, who have high attack and low defense and rely on spells to survive. In a life-and-death battle, they are especially afraid of getting close to physical practitioners.

 In other words, it is...

Mo Hua’s eyes brightened slightly, and then he frowned.

 Five Elements Source Array, strengthens the five elements and increases spiritual power.

 For physical cultivation, the Five Elements Source Formation also seems a bit useless.

 It's just that because of the transformation of spiritual power into blood, the effect of the five elements amplification on physical cultivation is far less effective than the direct use of spells on spiritual cultivation.

Through the increase of the spiritual power of the Five Elements, a point is a matter of life and death. Life and death are only between the front lines. If you are a little careless, the death is yourself.

Monks must stand within the formation in order to be strengthened by the Five Elements Source Formation. Once outside the range of the formation, their spiritual power will not be enhanced.

 As for an enemy who cannot be beaten, it is best not to fight him at all.

 Don’t pay much attention to little tricks such as attribute creation and countermeasures.

Ha

 This is equivalent to a living target.

 So even though the physical cultivator is not good at spells, he can still be amplified by the Five Elements Source Array.

 In actual combat, they would fight each other quickly and rush to kill each other. It would be even more impossible to stay within the confines of the Five Elements Source Formation and constrain oneself.

 Otherwise, he will not only be a target, but also look like a fool.

 So the Five Elements Source Formation looks very strong, but in actual use it has harsh conditions and will be restricted by various factors.

unless…

 A brief meditation on the ink painting.

 Engraving the Five Elements Formation into spiritual weapons such as armor and Taoist robes.

 Wear it anywhere, easy to move without restriction.

 This is the best solution.

 It’s just that there was no condition before, and Mo Hua couldn’t find anyone to refine this special armor or Taoist robe.

 He was practicing and learning formations, going out to offer rewards, and was quite busy, so he had no time to think about this matter.

 And now…

The ink painting was carefully considered.

 I was "grounded" in the sect, and I happened to be researching custom-made spiritual weapons, and I had the help of Master Gu, a third-grade weapon refiner.

　　The time, place and people are favorable.

  This is an opportunity to study the practical application of the Five Elements Source Array.

If the research is done well, this Zhen sect, which used to be famous for the Five Elements Sect but is now on the verge of being exterminated, can be considered to be able to "come back to the world"!

And this perfect formation can just make up for the last link in the formation and spiritual weapon system that I built:

 Spiritual power increase!

Mo Hua’s eyes lit up and his thoughts gradually became clear.

 Integration of the monastic industry.

 The combination of weapon refining and formation is finally applied to monks.

 Construct a complete array auxiliary system that integrates detection, enemy trapping, attack, defense, and amplification!

 This system is first used on sect disciples to earn some spiritual stones.

 Then with the support of spiritual stones, we continued to improve.

One day, when this set of formations and weapon refining processes mature and my own experience becomes rich, I can generalize and try to decentralize it to the lower-level cultivation circles for the development of various relatively economical and low-cost products for monastic production. Spiritual weapons, as well as supporting formations that are simple and easy to learn.

 From monk killing to monastic production.

 From customization to standardization.

 From expensive to cheap.

 In this way, it is gradually popularized...

 “Understand the way of heaven and benefit all living beings.”

 The real formation should not only serve a few people, but should truly benefit everyone in the world.

Mo Hua was startled, and his mind suddenly dawned, and his understanding of the formation of heaven and earth became more and more profound...

 After that, Mo Hua couldn't wait to start researching the armored robes suitable for the "Five Elements Source Array".

It’s just that this kind of armor is very special.

 The inheritance of the Five Elements Absolute Formation is on the verge of extinction, and there are almost no records of matching spiritual weapons or formation matchmakers left.

Even if there are, ink paintings are impossible to find.

 He could only explore a little bit by himself and then discuss it with Master Gu.

 This will also take a while.

About a month later, Master Gu personally came to Taixu Gate, chatted with Mo Hua, and then drew up a prototype of a set of armor.

Master Gu plans to go back and practice first.

He wasn't sure what the effect would be. After all, Mo Hua's requirements were very strange, and he had never refined a similar spiritual weapon.

However, Master Gu didn’t ask any more questions.

 After all, the formation issues are too complicated and obscure for him to understand. He only needs to be responsible for the issues at the weapon refining level.

 After the discussion, Master Gu left Taixu Gate and then went to the Shang Pavilion in the city.

 The custom-made spiritual weapon was sold, and he wanted to get the spiritual stone.

 This month, the sales of spiritual weapons have been very good, which is a large amount of spiritual stones.

 In Taixu City, in the Gu Family Shang Pavilion.

 The manager of Shangge couldn't help but marveled when he handed the storage bag full of spiritual stones to Master Gu.

“In the Taixu Sect, I don’t know where there are so many swindlers who are willing to spend so many spiritual stones to buy these weird spiritual weapons of yours.”

He and Master Gu usually have a good relationship, so they talk more casually.

Master Gu smiled and said, "You don't understand this..."

 The doorway here is complicated...

 Item refining techniques, process optimization, formation diagram design, formation characterization, as well as the demand and sales of spiritual weapons.

It looks simple on the surface, but Master Gu also knows that even though he is a third-level weapon refiner, what he can do is actually very limited.

 Most of the credit goes to Young Master Mo.

Master Gu also couldn’t figure out where Mr. Mo got so many connections in the sect.

 He shook his head, looked at the steward, and said with a smile:

 “I’ll treat you to a drink at noon.”

He would not refuse anyone who came to take care of things, and he would smile and say, "Okay, then I'll take advantage of that too."

At noon, the two of them ate spiritual food and drank fine wine in Taixu City.

 The affairs of the Shangge will need to be entrusted to the trustees in the future, so Master Gu is very generous.

 The manager is also very happy.

 Coupled with the drunkenness, the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves.

 After drinking, the two of them went home.

Master Gu has to return to Gushan City to continue making the next batch of spiritual weapons.

On the carriage heading to Gushan City, Master Gu touched several heavy storage bags around his waist. Although he felt emotional, he was still a little unbelievable.

 Fifty thousand spiritual stones!

Small spiritual weapons are cheaper, while larger ones are more expensive. The average price of spiritual weapons is about 5,000 spiritual stones. Within a month, nearly a hundred pieces were sold.

 After deducting the cost, this is also a very considerable income.

And this is just the beginning. Master Gu’s disciple Dachuan also looked shocked.

He has never seen so many spiritual stones in his life.

Master Gu thought for a moment and then ordered: "Stop when passing by the next fairy city, go into the city to buy some wine and meat, and take it back to reward everyone."

Dachuan was very happy and quickly smiled and said:

 “Yes, Master!”

 The life of the Gushan Weapon Refining Industry has always been poor. It has been a long time since everyone has been able to drink a lot of wine or eat a lot of meat.

Then he couldn't help but sigh: "Master, how can I spend these spiritual stones? I feel like I can't spend them all..."

Master Gu laughed.

This silly boy is used to being poor. Since he was born, he only knows what it is like to be poor and has no idea what he can do with too many spiritual stones.

 Let him think about it, and he can’t think of it.

 Then Master Gu changed his mind and felt a little sad again.

 Half a million spiritual stones…

a lot of.

These spiritual stones are enough for the weapon refining shop to buy a good weapon refining furnace, purchase a lot of high-quality weapon refining materials, and buy some rare weapon refining maps.

The remaining spirit stones can allow everyone to live a life without worrying about food and drink for a while.

 This amount of spiritual stone can be said to be very rich.

but…

Master Gu sighed in his heart.

 But these spiritual stones are actually very few.

 Maybe it’s just the cost of a banquet for some aristocratic families.

Even just the price of a horse, a chariot, a song and dance, a fine wine, a beauty...

 The world is so unfair.

 Master Gu glanced at Dachuan again.

This simple poor boy knows nothing.

But it’s okay not to know…

simple is the best.

Once you see the colorful world and have frivolous desires, but do not have a firm Taoist heart, sooner or later a person's mentality will be distorted and completely broken.

Master Gu looked at Dachuan, smiled and said:

"There are a lot of things that can be done. Let's talk about it when we get back. Let's do everything one by one. Let everyone have a good meal first, but..."

Master Gu frowned, thought for a moment and said, "I want to leave a portion for Young Master Mo."

Dachuan was startled and nodded.

They were able to complete this business and earn so many spiritual stones thanks to the fair and tender little Mr. Mo.

　　It is true that people cannot be judged by their appearance.

　　When they first met, he thought the young master was a kid from some family, but he didn't expect that he was so capable.

Dachuan was amazed.

"It's just," Dachuan was a little confused, "Little Master Mo, will he do it?"

He always felt that although Young Master Mo was young, he already had some immortal aura.

 Such a person may not be interested in these spiritual stones.

Master Gu shook his head and said: "This is what the young master deserves. Whether he wants it or not, we will give it to him. This is the principle of life. A drop of kindness should be repaid by a spring."

"What's more, to us, the young master is much more 'precious' than these spiritual stones."

 “Never lose the big for the small.”

"But there is no need to say it clearly now, otherwise it will look like we are deliberately repaying the favor, and it will appear as if we are deliberately repaying the favor. Let's just leave a share silently for Young Master Mo."

 Okawa nodded repeatedly, "Master, you are still thoughtful."

Master Gu patted the storage bag on his waist, and a smile appeared on his determined face...

 …

 In Taixumen.

At this time, Mo Hua didn't know that two people were secretly "saving" spiritual stones for him.

 Inadvertently, he already had two "small spiritual stone libraries".

Mo Hua continued to learn the formation.

The armor still needs to be refined for a while. Before that, he continued to practice the formations with peace of mind as always.

 Mo Hua lay on the desk and slowly drew out a second-grade seventeen-line formation, one stroke at a time.

 After finishing the painting, he continued to draw the second one.

These are the homework assigned to him by Mr. Xun.

“Learn more. The more you learn, the better. The more solid you are, the better. If the formation diagram is not enough, come to me again..."

Mr. Xun’s words are right, and Mo Hua likes to hear them very much.

 But he also felt a little strange.

Originally, Mr. Xun said that he could not ignore the sect system and asked him to accumulate merits and change formations by himself.

 But now, Mr. Xun doesn’t care about this anymore.

 Permit yourself to learn and feed yourself formations in a spoon-feeding manner.

Although Mo Hua has a big appetite and digests quickly, and he can eat whatever Mr. Xun feeds him, he still has some murmurs in his heart.

Mr. Xun, you seem a little anxious?

  What are you anxious about?

Does Mr. Xun have any other plans?

The ink painting is a little unclear.

He also secretly looked at Mr. Xun, but Mr. Xun's mind was as deep as the sea, his expression was as calm as an ancient well, and he couldn't tell a single clue.

Mo Hua asked tentatively:

“Mr. Xun, do I still want to place an order now?”

He can already draw second-level high-level introductory formations. He has extensive experience in formations, has a solid foundation in formations, and knows many formations.

Go to take the formation assessment and decide to be a second-grade mid-level formation master. There should be no problem.

Hearing this, Mr. Xun raised his eyes slightly and said calmly:

"Not urgent."

"oh."

Mo Hua was sure in his heart that Mr. Xun must have some plans.

But since Mr. Xun said there was no rush, he wasn't in a hurry either.

  Anyway, as long as you have the knowledge of formations, it will be fine.

 The more formations you learn, the deeper your understanding, the higher your attainments, and the stronger your foundation.

 Mo Hua has strong spiritual awareness, quick recovery, and is also assisted by Taoist tablets.

 After studying formations day and night like this, although he can only learn seventeen lines, his foundation of second-grade high-level formations in ink painting is already stronger than that of many real second-grade high-level formation masters.

 Gathering sand into a tower.

What he has to do now, or rather, what Mr. Xun asked him to do now, is to continuously expand, consolidate, and lay the foundation of the formation...

Several days passed like this, but the armor was still not finished.

Mo Hua was eating in the dining hall when Cheng Mo suddenly found him and asked:

“Senior brother, is there any way to protect yourself against demons or evil spirits?”

Mo Hua was confused, "You want to deal with the demon cultivator?"

Cheng Mo thought for a while and said: "It doesn't matter. It was a reward issued by the Taoist Council to catch a few criminal cultivators. It's just that these people have practiced some evil skills, but they are not orthodox. They are considered to be evil halfway..."

 “Nip it in the bud, so I’m here to ask you.”

Mo Hua frowned.

 Practice evil skills and become a demon halfway?

 What is the mission of Daoting Sifa?

Mo Hua was startled and suddenly remembered what Uncle Gu told him before:

“A group of demonic cultivators of unknown origin have swarmed around the border of Qianxue Prefecture…”

“The origins have not yet been ascertained, and it is also unclear how many there are and what their cultivation level is.”

“The scope of activities is limited to the second and third grade small states near the border of Qianxue state. The intention is unknown, but it must not have any good intentions..."

 The person Cheng Mo wants to arrest is one of these "devil cultivators"?

Daotingsi doesn’t have enough manpower, so the reward for capturing the demon cultivator can only be sent to the sect?

Mo Hua thought about it and felt it was very possible.

Moreover, when Cheng Mo said this, he remembered that the fellow disciples who had recently asked him for advice had accepted rewards and asked some dangerous questions.

 Before, I still caught some snitches and arrested a few criminal cultivators.

 The opponents we have to deal with now are obviously desperadoes who have had human lives on their hands.

Now it seems that the rewards they received are probably to deal with the "demon cultivator" that Uncle Gu mentioned.

Mo Hua thought for a moment and then said carefully:

“Evil techniques are also diverse. For example, some people use evil spirits to take away people’s minds, some people have poison in their blood, some people are accustomed to using poisonous evil weapons, and some people practice tonic..."

“When you encounter someone who cultivates evil spirits, you must stay away and do not look into their eyes.”

“If there is poison in the blood, we must use fire spells or formations to restrain it.”

“You cannot use spiritual weapons to confront evil weapons, especially inherited spiritual weapons, otherwise they will be contaminated.”

“Those who practice repairing and repairing are generally very good at physical skills, so if you catch them, you will have to break three of their legs to prevent them from doing evil again..."

Mo Hua told Cheng Mo about the various demonic cultivation methods he had seen in Bishan Demon Cave, as well as the many demonic cultivation techniques he had seen, "like a treasure trove".

 Cheng Mo was shocked.

He hesitated for a long time, looking around, then lowered his voice and said nervously:

“Senior brother, why are you so familiar? You can’t be…”

Mo Hua glanced at him lightly, "If you know yourself and your enemy, you can fight a hundred battles without danger. How can you kill demons if you don't know their methods?"

Cheng Mo was startled, thought about it, nodded and said:

 “That makes sense!”

But the ink paintings are also very curious.

 He wanted to know why this group of demon cultivators suddenly appeared and what their intentions were.

 Could it be related to the evil god?

If this is the case, it must not be ignored.

 But he was trapped in the sect and could not leave the Qianxue state boundary to find out.

Mo Hua was thinking silently, and suddenly an idea flashed through him.

 He asked Cheng Mo to call over a group of disciples who had good relationships and often called him "little senior brothers", and then said to them:

“You accept bounties, do tasks, and catch criminal cultivators or demon cultivators. If you find something weird and whose origin is unclear, remember to bring it back to me for a look.”

Situ Jian frowned, "What about?"

"For example," Mo Hua thought for a while and said in deep thought, "statues, broken swords, horns, bones and other weird things..."

"Or..." Mo Hua's eyes narrowed slightly and he said slowly: "The encrypted letter, the blank jade slip, the message order with the message erased, and..."

 “A certain type of sect token!”
