Asking about longevity

The deposit for the Solid Earth Formation was twenty spirit stones. Mo Hua took out ten of the spirit stones he had earned before and deposited them with the fat steward. He received the Solid Earth Formation diagram and ten pieces of paper and ink materials for a period of twenty days.

After leaving the trading house, Mo Hua went to the pastry shop and spent two spirit stones to buy ten colorful cakes. After that, he went straight back to the sect and divided some pieces of cakes among Dahu and the others.

The food in the sect is not good. The three of them are usually greedy, but there is nothing delicious.

Mo Hua bought some pastries to satisfy their craving.

A few days later, in the evening, Mo Hua finished his day of classes and was studying the solid soil formation behind closed doors with his disciple Curie, when he suddenly heard someone knocking on the door.

As soon as Mo Hua opened the door, he saw Shuanghu standing furtively in front of the door.

Shuanghu secretly handed an oil paper bag to Mo Hua and said in a low voice:

This is specially left for you, don't tell anyone else.

After saying that, he glanced around, then ran away like a thief.

The disciple residence is the dormitory for disciples of Tongxianmen. There are two people in one room. The room is not big. There are two simple wooden beds and two somewhat worn wooden tables, which are just enough for the disciples' daily life.

There are also more luxurious and comfortable residences for disciples in Tongxian Sect, but they cost extra spiritual stones.

Mo Hua used to have a fellow student as his roommate, but he dropped out of school this year, not because he couldn't afford Shu Xiu, but because he simply felt that cultivation was boring and didn't want to learn anymore, so now Mo Hua is the only one in the room.

Mo Hua closed the door, opened the still hot oil paper, and found a freshly roasted chicken leg wrapped inside.

The chicken drumsticks were about the size of a fist, steaming and a bit burnt from the grill. You could smell the alluring aroma, especially the faint aura floating on them.

It’s the meat of spiritual beasts.

This... couldn't have been stolen from somewhere...

Shuanghu and the others couldn't afford the beast meat with spiritual energy. Looking at Shuanghu's sneaky appearance, they could only steal it.

Mo Hua hesitated and took a bite. It smelled a bit burnt and had the aroma of meat, but it was not roasted thoroughly and it was not seasoned. The taste was somewhat bland.

The cooking of meals in the monastic world is also very particular. If you have not learned it specifically, it will be difficult to make delicious food.

Because the food in the monastic world is difficult to process, for example, the texture of meat is very tough, and some meat, such as the meat of herbivorous monsters, cannot be cooked at all without spending a lot of spiritual energy to activate the flames and steam for a long time.

The meat of spiritual meat will be more delicate, but cooking also requires some effort.

Except for meat, other vegetables, fruits and vegetables, in addition to their own taste, also have some aura. When these auras are mixed with the flavors of the ingredients themselves, if the mixture is not properly prepared, the taste will be very strange.

The chicken legs in Mo Hua's hand were simply grilled. He was probably afraid that others would find out, so he secretly lit a fire and finished the grilling in a hurry, so it was impossible to grill it to be very delicious.

But Mo Hua, who hasn't eaten meat for more than a month, doesn't pay so much attention to it. It's good to eat some.

Mo Hua finished the chicken legs with some difficulty, then lit a fire to burn the oil paper, and threw the bones into the creek outside the house, completely destroying the evidence.

After eating, Mo Hua spent some time refining the spiritual energy contained in the chicken, and then continued to study the formation.

Sure enough, two days later, Mo Hua heard that several disciples in the Qi Refining Stage had stolen the golden pheasant raised by the elder, plucked the feathers, and roasted them for dinner.

The elder was furious, caught several disciples, and punished them severely.

Two days later, Mo Hua saw Dahu and his trio with bruises on their noses and swollen faces, and two big bumps on their heads.

The three of them are all in Tongxuan Peak, and the elders can find them out with a quick check. If they can't escape, they will be punished.

However, a few people just looked miserable, most of them had flesh wounds, and it was impossible for the elders to really do anything to them.

It's nothing more than a small punishment but a big warning to give other disciples a warning.

Dahu and the other three looked miserable, but they held their heads high and their expressions were a bit proud. After all, being able to steal a chicken from under the elder's nose was not something that ordinary disciples could do.

When they saw Mo Hua, they pretended not to see them. Xiaohu even secretly winked at Mo Hua, making Mo Hua pretend not to recognize them.

Mo Hua was a little dumbfounded, thinking that he would buy more cakes for them to eat during the next holiday.

There are still seven days until the next ten-day break, and thirteen days have passed since he received the formation materials from the fat steward, but Mo Hua's understanding of the solid soil formation was not going well.

The formation pattern of the Solid Earth Formation was something Mo Hua had never learned before. It was much more complicated than the basic earth element formation pattern taught by the sect, and it was more difficult to comprehend.

Moreover, the Solid Earth Formation is composed of four formation patterns, and the requirements for spiritual consciousness are also high.

It is not too difficult to draw formation patterns in ink, but when practicing on stone tablets, it consumes a lot more spiritual energy, and it is easy to make mistakes.

Either the combination of the drawn formations does not form a formation, or the drawn formations are simply invalid and unable to transmit spiritual power.

I have been fumbling with ink painting for more than ten days, but I still have no clue. Sometimes I seem to understand, but I still make mistakes when I write.

In the end, there was nothing he could do, so Mo Hua decided to ask Yan Jiaoxi for advice.

One day, Teacher Yan finished his class and was clearing away the books on his desk when the disciples dispersed in twos and threes.

Mo Hua brought a few basic earth-type formation patterns to Yan Jiaoxi and respectfully asked for advice:

Teacher Xi, this disciple doesn't quite understand the earth element formations here. Please give me some advice.

Yan Jiaoxi looked at several formation patterns handed over by Mo Hua and said:

This is the earth pattern among the basic five elements pattern, and it is a relatively standard general pattern. It shouldn't be too difficult for you. If you can't draw it well, just practice more.

Professor Zongmen's earth element formation pattern is very basic, and it is certainly not difficult for Mo Hua. What Mo Hua wants to ask is actually something else.

Mo Hua took out several earth element formation patterns from the solid earth formation and said:

Disciples occasionally see these formation patterns and find that they are somewhat different from those in the textbook, but they cannot tell the specific difference. Moreover, it is easy to make mistakes when drawing. I don't know what went wrong.

Yan Jiaoxi looked at it and said with some surprise:

This is the changed Five Elements formation pattern. It is different from the one officially taught by the sect. This kind is not standardized and not very common. To draw this kind of formation pattern, you need to change the brushwork, and the order is also different from the standard formation pattern. Basically Change the order of these strokes...

Yan Jiaoxi took a piece of paper and drew a few patterns, explaining as he drew.

After hearing this, Mo Hua suddenly realized.

The painting method of formation patterns is also somewhat similar to that of calligraphy. In addition to the standard formation patterns, there are also some more distinctive formation patterns, and the brushwork is somewhat different.

There are many types of this variant formation pattern, and they cannot be classified, so the sect normally only teaches the standard standard formation pattern.

No wonder they say that the formation is extensive and profound, and there are too many twists and turns in it. If I hadn't asked the teacher to learn it, I wouldn't have thought of it... Mo Hua secretly complained in his heart.

Then we need to connect these formation patterns together to form a formation, such as this formation...

In the end, Mo Hua directly took out the formation diagram of the Solid Earth Formation.

Yan Jiaoxi glanced at it, recognized it, and said in surprise: This is the solid earth formation, and then looked at the ink painting and said:

It's too early for you to see. This is not something you can draw now.

Disciple is just curious and wants to find out the whole story. Mo Hua asked seriously.

That's right...it's better if you know something in advance.

Yan Jiaoxi was refreshed. He had been teaching basic formation patterns on weekdays, which was somewhat boring. Now it was rare for him to talk about some decent formations, and his interest was obviously much higher.

Arrays are all composed of arrays arranged and interconnected. A simple array contains simple arrays and a small number of arrays. The more difficult an array is, the more arrays it contains. Various arrays The order of arrangement, spatial composition, and connection will become more complex and subtle. The Solid Earth Formation contains four formations, and the formations need to be drawn in sequence according to fixed directions, leaving the two positions of Qian and Kun...

Yan Jiaoxi lectured with great interest, and he also listened to the ink painting with great interest. Until the end of the teaching, Yan Jiaoxi still had some unfinished ideas, and then warned:

The art of formation is profound and profound. You might as well understand it in advance. What the sect teaches is only the basics of the basics, and it doesn't even count as an introduction. If you want to become a true formation master, the difficulty and effort required are the same as those of you now. Unimaginable...

Yan Jiaoxi paused and then said:

At the same time, you must not be too ambitious and blindly draw formations that you cannot master. It's okay if you just look at them. If you actually start painting, you will easily run out of consciousness. You must remember this!

Mo Hua saluted and said: Disciple has been taught!
