"Oh." Mo Hua nodded.
Cheng Mo looked around, then asked Mo Hua and Situ Jian, "Are you still looking?"
Situ Jian looked at Mo Hua.
Mo Hua pondered for a moment and shook his head, "Let's go back first. There's nothing interesting about alchemy. Come back later when you have time."
"good!"
Cheng Mo and Situ Jian nodded.
So the three of them went back home, left Lundao Mountain, and returned to their sect.
After returning to the sect, Mo Hua practiced as usual, breaking bottlenecks, drawing formations, and refining armor.
But when he has time, he will still go to Lundao Mountain and watch the Lundao Conference.
After all, the Taoism Conference is a triennial event in Qianxue Prefecture.
Although I am not participating, I still want to learn more about it.
What's more, just because you don't participate now doesn't mean you won't participate in the future.
Mo Hua did some calculations, and after six years, if his cultivation reached the late stage of foundation building, he might also be able to compete with the talented sons of hundreds of sects.
However, this kind of thing is too pushy and inconsistent with my low-key and humble temperament.
Even if the trees are beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy them.
The rafters at the top rot first.
These are Master's sincere teachings to me.
So Mo Hua is still a little confused about whether to participate in Taoism conferences in the future.
But no matter what, it will be six years later. Don’t think about it in a hurry now. Let’s take a look at the situation first.
The Dao Discussion Conference is still being held as scheduled.
Take a look at Mo Hua when you have time.
The charter of this Dao Discussion Conference is to discuss elixirs first, then weapons, then talismans, then formations, and finally swords.
There is nothing interesting to see in Lundan.
Anyway, it’s just a bunch of people burning a stove, focusing on the techniques, heat, skills, control, etc. of making the elixir. Finally, they will be rated based on the time it takes to make the elixir, success rate, quality, and many other factors.
I don’t care much about ink painting.
In the end, Mo Hua didn't know much about who won the title.
All he knew was that he was a senior sister who was two years ahead of him in the "Danqing Sect".
The Danqing Sect is one of the twelve sects in the Qianxue Prefecture, and most of its disciples have made alchemy their lifelong ambition.
Make elixirs to save the world, save lives and heal the wounded.
Mo Hua inexplicably thought of Mr. Feng, a first-class alchemist in Tongxian City.
Since I was a child, my consciousness has been strong but my body has been weak. I have been able to grow up safely because of Mr. Feng’s treatment and care.
The atmosphere of Danqing Sect gives Mo Hua a bit of a feeling like Mr. Feng.
Mo Hua had some inexplicable good feelings in his heart.
After that came the instrument conference.
I paid more attention to the ink paintings.
Although in fact, his level of weapon refining is worse than that of alchemy, he still has some knowledge.
Especially recently, I have exchanged a lot of refining experiences with Master Gu, a third-grade golden elixir refining master.
Mo Hua also took the lead in designing the weapon refining array and customized a large number of spiritual weapons. At the same time, he did a lot of research in order to make the shape of the spiritual weapons fit with the structure of the array.
So even though his actual level of weapon refining is still unsatisfactory - because he can't swing a second-grade sledgehammer.
But in contrast, the vision and layout of weapon refining have been significantly improved.
This is something that ordinary weapon refining masters, especially disciples who are meticulous and follow the inheritance system and weapon refining specifications step by step, do not possess.
At this time, Mo Hua benefited a lot from watching other people refining weapons, observing more, summarizing more, and improving the design ideas of his own weapon refining array.
A few days later, the instrument conference also came to an end.
But the leader of the conference on weapons was somewhat beyond Mo Hua's expectation. He did not come from the Twelve Schools, or the sect specializing in refining weapons among the hundreds of sects of Qianxue. Instead, he came from one of the eight gates, which was somewhat similar to Taixu Sect. Amen of origin.
"Amen too..."
Mo Hua was slightly startled.
He remembered that Senior Brother Ouyang Feng, who he had a relationship with, was also from Tai Amen.
However, the leader of Tai Amen's Weapon Discussion Conference should be one year higher than Senior Brother Feng, and can be regarded as Senior Brother Feng's senior brother.
And the weapon refining method that he won the first place in was a sword forging method.
"Tai'amen, sword forging method..."
Mo Hua touched his chin and looked thoughtful.
After that came the Talisman Discussion Conference.
The ink painting of talismans is the least exposed.
The so-called talisman refining, simply put, is to consume spiritual power, condense spells, and then seal the spells in jade talismans that have been refined in advance.
When used in this way, the spell can be activated directly by activating the jade talisman.
The talisman has a certain threshold of cultivation level, but it is basically unnecessary. How much extra spiritual power does the user consume?
It can be regarded as a simple means of supplementing the attack.
Talisman refining itself is also a category that integrates the monastic industry.
The "jade talisman" used in refining talismans can seal spells, and it itself relies on refining weapons and formations.
As a Talisman Refiner, the most important thing is spiritual power.
Excellent Talisman Masters are all powerful in spiritual power and proficient in spells, especially those who are proficient in some rare spells or the spiritual practice of superior spells.
This is inherently insulated from ink painting.
Although ink painting is a spiritual practice, it has poor spiritual roots and weak spiritual power.
Although he is proficient in magic, he takes the path of "knowing all magic" and is proficient in low-level magic.
What's more, the embryo of "Jade Talisman" is very expensive.
I am reluctant to buy ink paintings either.
He bought some matchmaking and spiritual ink, which made him feel a little distressed.
Therefore, among all the categories of monasticism, the ink-drawing talisman is the weakest.
Although his grades were 1A and 6C.
But among the six "C"s, the refining talisman is "C" in "C", just a little short of being reduced to the "D" level.
Therefore, during the Talisman Discussion Conference, I only took a few glances at the ink painting.
He didn't even look at who came out on top in the end.
After that came the discussion forum.
Even fewer people attended the Zhenzhen Conference.
In the Dao Discussion Conference, among the four monastic categories of the alchemy and talisman array, the array was the finale and ranked last.
But after the disciples looked at the first three, their interest was almost gone.
What's more, next is the sword discussion conference.
Most of the disciples' expectations are placed on the four major sects, the eight gates, the twelve streams and the hundreds of qianxue sects, where the geniuses gather and thousands of schools compete for swordsmanship and martial arts.
Naturally, I don’t care about the Array Conference.
And among the many categories of monasticism, although formations are noble, they are also the most boring and boring to watch.
The furnace for alchemy is turned on, and the fire rises.
The weapons were forged and the sledgehammer was used, and sparks were flying.
Refining talismans and condensing spells, making them radiant.
Only the formation master draws the formation, and he is really drawing the formation in an ordinary way.
It would be fine if he were an expert disciple who was proficient in formations. Ordinary disciples, who only learned the inheritance of general formations, would not be able to understand the sect at all.
It is indeed difficult for them to sit next to them and watch a group of disciples covering their heads and drawing formations in a daze for several hours.
Therefore, in comparison, the Array Discussion Conference was the most deserted.
But ink painting is just the opposite.
He was most interested in the Discussion Forum.
Basically, he watched all the more important competitions.
After looking at the formations drawn by many disciples, Mo Hua also had a rough estimate of the formation level of the talented disciples participating in the conference.
These senior brothers and sisters who participated in the debate were definitely better than me.
In the later stage of foundation building, Qing Yishen has the vast majority of spiritual consciousness, which is also nineteen patterns.
Occasionally, there will be people with peak eighteen lines.
But the Eighteen Patterns are actually just here to "run with you".
The sects of these disciples have a mediocre inheritance of formations, so it is very rare to be able to select a few disciples with eighteen patterns of spiritual consciousness and specialization in formations to participate in the formation discussion conference.
As for the difficulty of the formations being assessed, not all of them are high-level formations with nineteen patterns.
Start with the seventeenth pattern, then the eighteenth pattern, and finally the nineteenth pattern.
Eliminated step by step.
In the end, those who can stay are the disciples who have nineteen lines of profound spiritual consciousness in the late stage of foundation building, and most of them have passed the second-grade high-level formation master qualification assessment.
The formation of the nineteen patterns is not yet known in ink painting.
But this is because his spiritual consciousness is not enough, not because of how difficult these formations are.
Even in the end, the one that was tested in the finals was the Nineteen Pattern Formation, which was relatively biased and had profound formation principles - the Houtian Bagua Return Formation.
Mo Hua looked at it and didn't find it difficult.
"At this level..." Mo Hua couldn't help but think, "Six years later, I won't be able to take first place..."
Mo Hua thought for a moment and found it unbelievable.
Qian Xuezhou Boundary, No. 1 in the Array Discussion Conference?
He quickly shook his head.
It shouldn't be that simple...
As a person, you can’t aim too high, you have to be down-to-earth!
I can’t have this conceited thought of looking down on the world’s heroes!
Mo Hua nodded slowly, calmed down, maintained a humble attitude, and then continued reading.
Until the end of the sword discussion conference.
To Mo Hua's surprise, the top three in the formation discussion meeting were all disciples of the "four major sects".
Wan Zhen Sect, which specializes in formations and is named after "formation", only got fourth place.
The person who won the leadership position was a disciple named "Shen" who looked aloof and even a little arrogant, although he looked talented.
He wore a luxurious cloud-white robe with gold trim.
Mo Hua recognized this Taoist robe.
Qian Dao Sect Taoist Robe.
The first in discussing formations, from Qian Dao Sect...
Qian Dao Sect, one of the four major sects of Qian Studies.
That is, the "Qian Dao Sect" written on his admission order.
It was the Qian Dao Sect who came to the door with the order to enter the sect, but was dismissed in a high-sounding manner. They thought that his spiritual roots were low and refused to allow him to enter the Qian Dao Sect.
Even now when I think about it, Mo Hua still feels a little uncomfortable.
Mo Hua couldn't help but curled his lips and muttered in his heart:
"Look down on me..."
Mo Hua admits that he is not a narrow-minded person, but he still wants to keep his reputation even if he doesn't eat steamed buns.
Sooner or later this tone will have to be fought over.
Sooner or later, I have to eat this steamed bun.
"Qian Daozong!"
Mo Hua snorted softly and silently remembered it in his heart.
The surrounding elders, as well as some other sects and upper-level monks from the family, stood up one after another to congratulate the winning disciple.
Although there were only a few disciples attending the formation discussion conference.
But it seems that because of the special status of the formation, more elders came to watch than in the previous conferences on elixirs, weapons, and talismans.
The disciple of the Shen family who had won the title of leader returned the greeting respectfully, but with a bit of arrogance on his face.
The elders of the Qian Dao Sect around him also had smiles on their faces, looking reserved but arrogant as they chatted with everyone.
It seems that the one who ranks first in the Array must be the one in the pocket of the Qian Dao Sect.
This is the end of the Array Discussion Conference.
…
After some time passed, it was the most important sword discussion conference.
The Sword Discussion Conference was also held at Lundao Mountain.
When Mo Hua arrived at Lundao Mountain, he realized what the so-called grand event among grand events actually meant.
The entire Lundao Mountain was truly filled with people, like a mountain and a sea.
Up and down the mountain, there were dense crowds of disciples from all sects.
Almost every disciple's face is filled with excitement, expectation, envy, longing and other emotions.
Generally speaking, this kind of look will only appear on every disciple's face during annual vacation.
The ink painting was also affected by the atmosphere, and I couldn't help but feel excited.
Cheng Mo and Situ Jian were also there, as well as Hao Xuan.
Especially Cheng Mo, he also broke through the middle stage of foundation building and was upgraded the next year. He had nothing to do for the time being, so he went to Lundao Mountain every day.
He is a physical practitioner and dreams of participating in a sword competition.
The Sword Discussion Conference was held in a separately designated venue in Lundao Mountain.
There are various venues, including mountains and rivers, and complex terrain. They are specially opened up for disciples to form teams of five to practice swordsmanship and martial arts.
There is also a formation above the field.
Mo Hua's consciousness swept slightly, his eyes were shocked, and he was a little distracted.
"Fifth grade..."
These formations are all true fifth-grade formations, and they are not ordinary fifth-grade formations.
It’s a fifth-grade void formation!
A fifth-grade void formation that contains the power of space!
only……
Mo Hua frowned, somewhat puzzled, "Why is the fifth-grade formation used here?"
Cheng Mo naturally didn't know, and Hao Xuan also shook his head.
Situ Jian then explained to Mo Hua: "These formations are used to protect the disciples who discuss swordsmanship."
He didn't know much about the fifth-level formations, but Situ Jian was very familiar with the facilities related to the Sword Discussion Conference.
There is not a single disciple in the entire Qianxue Prefecture who is not eager to participate in the Sword Discussion Conference.
Situ Jian is no exception.
What's more, he is a sword cultivator himself and has the word "sword" in his name.
If you can get a good name in the Sword Discussion Conference, you will not only be highly regarded by the elders in the sect, but even if you return to the family, you will be regarded as a proud ancestor and have a bright future.
Situ Jian continued: "The sword discussion conference is just a competition, not really asking the disciples to fight hard."
"But we are all Foundation Establishment disciples with similar cultivation levels. Once we use our full strength to attack, no one can really hold back."
"So some seniors from the Qianxue Prefecture teamed up to build these fifth-grade void formations to ensure the safety of the disciples."
"After all, those who can join the Qianzhou Sect must either have excellent talent, excellent background, or both. If something happens to them, it's hard to explain."
Mo Hua was a little confused, "How to ensure safety?"
Compared to the Sword Discussion Conference, the situation is very complicated.
With the formation principles he is currently familiar with, he is somewhat confused as to how he can protect the safety of his disciples under the sword discussion system.
Situ Jian pointed at the disciples participating in the sword discussion, "Before entering the arena, everyone will have a 'fate talisman'."
"The fate talisman and the fifth-grade formation are integrated and will bear the injuries for the disciple. Once the damage received exceeds the limit and the fate talisman is broken, the disciple will be considered defeated."
"At the same time, the fifth-grade formation will be forcibly activated, using the power of the void, to forcefully transport the disciple out of the sword discussion venue to ensure his safety..."
Mo Hua was startled for a moment, then suddenly realized.
This is how the fifth-grade void formation is used.
"Then this 'talisman of destiny' is somewhat similar to the 'talisman of longevity'?" Mo Hua asked.
"It does look a bit similar, but it's actually far different."
Situ Jian looked slightly solemn and said: "Although this kind of talisman also involves the power of the fifth grade void, it cannot be compared with the natal longevity talisman at all."
"In the entire Qianxue State, there are basically only a few top families and top direct lineage geniuses who are qualified to allow Patriarch Dongxu to plant a natal longevity talisman at the expense of his original source."
"And such disciples are basically concentrated in the 'four major sects'."
"Although our Situ family has barely touched the threshold of the fifth grade, we are still not qualified to plant this kind of 'born longevity talisman'..."
Situ Jian sighed.
Mo Hua frowned slightly.
The talisman of longevity...
Before he could think about it, Cheng Mo had already shouted: "It's started, it's started, ink painting, little senior brother, look!"
Mo Hua looked around and saw that in a field that was isolated and protected by the formation, disciples from the two sides had already started fighting.
In this kind of five-on-five competition, the situation is more complicated.
It not only pays attention to personal cultivation and Taoist combat power, but also pays attention to cooperation, strategy and tactics, etc.
In actual combat, the situation is complex and ever-changing.
When I saw ink painting for the first time, I couldn’t quite understand many of the rules.
He could only read and remember.
But there is one explanation, and it is indeed better than the previous ones on elixirs, weapons, talismans and the like.
Especially when it comes to the competition between the brothers and sisters of the Taixu Sect and other sects.
Because the positions are related, there are natural expectations.
No one doesn't want their sect to win.
Therefore, the two teams staggered, catching each other and fighting each other. The physical cultivators had sharp swords and their bodies were like tigers, approaching spiritual cultivators step by step.
Spiritual cultivation retreats while releasing spells.
The chance of decisive victory is only a matter of millimeters and fleeting.
A little negligence will lead to a series of accidents, which are very thrilling and make people feel ups and downs.
I quickly became immersed in the ink paintings.
In a blink of an eye, it was already dark.
Before he knew it, he had been watching it for a whole day.
Mo Hua sighed.
This sword discussion conference is indeed very exciting.
Time passes quickly.
However, thinking that the opportunity was rare once every three years, Mo Hua "indulged" a little and went with Cheng Mo to watch a sword fight when he had time.
As he looked at it, Mo Hua noticed something different.
Although it is said that it relies on the cooperation of the same sect, in fact, in many sects, there is not such a "tacit understanding" between the disciples of the same sect.
In most cases, it's still a case of one for each.
Then seize the opportunity and use more to defeat less.
This is equivalent to tactics.
The main function of teamwork is to "defeat the few with more".
The tactical purpose is mostly to "defeat the few with more".
Although it looks exciting, it does lack some variety and the tactics are too simple.
These methods are not even as rich as the tactics used by the uncles and uncles of the monster hunters in Tongxian City when they work together to hunt monsters, luring the enemy deep, attacking from a distance, attacking at close range, and hunting and killing.
Mo Hua frowned and thought, and then slowly understood.
Monster hunters hunt monsters, which is a real life-and-death struggle. They only focus on practicality and use any means.
As for the sword competition, it is essentially a "competition".
Not all disciples of the same sect are of the same mind, there are also competitions among them.
Moreover, some large sects seem to be deliberately letting one or two of their core disciples shine.
During the competition, let other students take the first shot and waste their energy.
After the opponent's spiritual power and physical strength are almost exhausted, these core disciples will take action, completing the "feat" of one against two, or even against three, reaping victory, attracting other disciples to praise and worship.
Ink painting is a bit disdainful.
Use the Sword Discussion Conference to build momentum for core disciples.
But the key point is that the Sword Discussion Conference is basically a competition, so there is nothing wrong with it.
But if in the future, they encounter vicious evil cultivators and cruel demon cultivators, will they play the same way?
Those demonic monks are like centipede insects, dead but not stiff.
If you play like this, aren't you giving them a chance to fight back?
Or is it that these core disciples will directly enter the Taoist court or the upper echelons of aristocratic families in the future, and will never be on the front line to meet evil spirits?
Mo Hua shook his head.
But none of this has anything to do with him.
He is just "watching the show" at the moment.
Adhering to the idea of ​​knowing oneself and the enemy, Mo Hua still often comes to watch sword discussion conferences.
Take a look at other sects to see what exercises they practice, what methods they are good at, and what methods they usually use.
How is the atmosphere of the sect?
Whether the disciples are in harmony with each other on the surface, they plot against each other secretly.
At the same time, Mo Hua was also thinking in his mind.
If you go up to fight yourself, what should you do? What methods can be used?
Mo Hua summarized all these, thinking that if there is a chance in the future, they can be put to some use.
In addition to watching sword-discussing conferences, I am also busy practicing ink painting.
After working hard day and night, the mystery array in the sea of ​​ink painting was finally completely solved, the bottleneck collapsed, and everything fell into place.
As the Sword Discussion Conference drew to a close, Mo Hua's cultivation finally reached a breakthrough.
Passed the early stage and entered the middle stage.
Spiritual power is like mercury, getting deeper and deeper.
Since then, he has become a young monk in the middle stage of foundation building.
Chapter completed!
