Chapter 73 The Fourth Level of Qi Refining
In the days that followed, Mo Hua continued to practice the formations as Mr. Zhuang said.
Master Chen's weapon refining furnace and Mr. Feng's alchemy furnace were both painted with ink.
There is nothing near the neighborhood where ink painting can "show off".
Ink painting can only settle for the next best thing and find some low-end formations to practice, such as the double lock formation on the door, the earth and stone formation on the wall, the open flame formation on the lamp, etc.
Formations are widely used in the monastic world. From spiritual weapons for killing, to shields and armors for defense, as well as all the basic necessities of daily life, formations are painted on them.
However, among the low-level casual cultivators, the use of formations is extremely rough and superficial, and some are even just one or two simple formations, which cannot be regarded as formations.
In comparison, Master Chen's weapon refining furnace and Mr. Feng's alchemy furnace are already considered "high-end products."
In particular, Mr. Feng's alchemy furnace even uses three complex formations to achieve the harmony of wood and fire spiritual power. There should not be many formation masters in the entire Tongxian City who can draw such a complex formation.
Mo Hua helped several neighbors with repairs on doors, walls, and lamps. These were basically chores that did not reflect his attainments in formations, but the monks in the neighborhood were very grateful to Mo Hua.
They didn't have enough spiritual stones, so they always gave Mo Hua some fruits and vegetables they grew at home. Although the gifts were light, they were thoughtful.
Mo Painters are not considered wealthy, and casual cultivators who are poorer than Mo Painters can be found everywhere in Tongxian City. Generally, casual cultivators save as much as they can, and continue to use things when they are broken, or when formations are worn out.
I never ask a formation master to repair it.
Sometimes the spiritual stones spent by a formation master to repair the formation may be more expensive than buying a new one.
Formation masters are rare. After most of the formation masters are successful in their studies, they will only serve their families, sects or some powerful forces that cultivate immortals, not only to earn more spirit stones, but also to be able to master the formation techniques.
Go one step further.
"Learning literary and martial arts will bring you goods to the emperor's family." This is a sentence in Mo Hua's memory in another life.
Once you step into the threshold of a high-class family or sect, you will naturally no longer look at those poor families.
This is both human nature and the warmth of the human heart.
Thinking about it this way, Mr. Feng, who after becoming a first-class alchemist can still treat poor people with alchemy, is even more worthy of respect.
Mo Hua spent about a month repairing the formation for others.
Most of the formations I practiced were low-end formations, containing only two or three formations, but it was considered a refresher, and my memory was much deeper than before.
In the past, when formations were drawn on paper, the paper was the medium for the formation. But when the formation is actually used, bricks, stones, and trees can all be used as the medium for the formation.
Although the formations drawn on paper can work, they are more or less just armchair exercises. Moreover, the formations on paper will generally become invalid after one use and cannot be used for a long time.
Only when the formation is truly painted on all things in the world, such as earth, wood, bricks and stones, and all kinds of spiritual weapons, and allows them to operate for a long time, can we truly understand the way of heaven and follow the way of heaven.
Drawing formations on different formation media consumes more spiritual consciousness and spiritual energy, requires higher brushwork, and is more difficult to draw.
But as long as you practice more frequently, your understanding of the formation will be more thorough.
After practicing ink painting for a while, when you look at the formation again, you will feel suddenly enlightened.
It seems that those formations are no longer obscure and abstract patterns, but more vivid and vivid lines, which are the trajectory of the spiritual power of heaven and earth.
When Mo Hua sinks his spiritual consciousness into the sea of ​​consciousness, and then looks at the mysterious array woven by the spiritual power in the sea of ​​consciousness, he no longer feels confused as before.
The flow of spiritual power above the mystery array has become much clearer, bit by bit.
On this day, Mo Hua followed the rules of spiritual force generation and restraint taught by Mr. Zhuang to resolve the formation.
As the ink painting is drawn by Bai Shengsheng's little hand, one formation after another condenses, and then one after another the formations dissipate, like silk being pulled apart, slowly stretching, then dissipating and melting into the sea of ​​consciousness.
Mo Hua faintly noticed that every time a pattern was unlocked, the connection between spiritual consciousness and spiritual power became closer.
When Mo Hua unraveled the last formation pattern, he discovered that the entire mystery formation in the sea of ​​consciousness had dissipated, and the sea of ​​consciousness returned to its original state. It seemed that nothing had happened. Only the Dao monument in the middle of the sea of ​​consciousness, although abrupt, remained the same.
The ground exists.
"Is this considered solved?"
Mo Hua scratched his head, then tried to mobilize his spiritual power, and found that the sea of ​​​​consciousness suddenly trembled, like a stomach that had not had water in a few days, and suddenly became hungry.
Mo Hua was shocked and quickly took out the spirit stones and absorbed the spirit energy in them. After refining more than ten spirit stones, the sea of ​​consciousness gradually calmed down.
When Mo Hua looked inside, he found that his spiritual energy was much more abundant and his spiritual consciousness was also stronger.
"It's the fourth level of Qi refining!"
Mo Hua was so happy that he couldn't fall asleep lying on the bed.
He got up and lit a lamp, laid out paper and ink, and drew a three-talent array.
The Sancai Formation contains six first-grade formation patterns.
In the past, ink painting was limited by spiritual consciousness. Although it could be done, it was still a bit difficult. Now that the cultivation level has been broken through and the spiritual consciousness has increased, I can draw these three talents with ease.
After finishing the painting, Ink Hua remembered that it was already past the hour and he could draw the formation on the Taoist stele of Consciousness Sea, thus wasting a piece of paper and ink.
No matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat.
Mo Hua was slightly heartbroken, and then he sank his consciousness into the sea of ​​consciousness again, and drew formations on the Taoist monument without scruples.
Formations that used to be difficult have become much easier due to breakthroughs in cultivation and growth in spiritual consciousness. No wonder others often say that realm is the foundation of a monk.
Mo Hua kept drawing formations until dawn, and then he couldn't wait to tell his parents the good news.
Mo Shan had just finished climbing the mountain, and he and his companions hunted several buffalo demons and spent a few days repairing them at home. After hearing this, the couple were overjoyed and organized a banquet for nearby neighbors and acquaintances.
From the third level to the fourth level of Qi refining, it is from the early stage to the middle stage of Qi refining. It is considered a breakthrough to an intermediate level. As usual, a banquet is required. Dahu and the other three also invited them when they broke through to the fourth level of Qi refining, but the Meng family's family background
It was not good, so the three children got together and only had one banquet.
After a day's rest in the restaurant, Moshan asked people to carry a whole buffalo demon that he had hunted a few days ago home, skinned it and took out the meat. Liu Ruhua added spices and stewed it, and then they had a dinner in the restaurant.
Master Chen, Dazhu, and several other disciples of Master Chen all came, not to mention the three Dahu. Some casual cultivators who were not familiar with each other but had been helped by Mo Hua before specially gave some small gifts, but they did not leave any
After dinner, Liu Ruhua packed some beef as a return gift.
Although it was a banquet, the food was better than usual. There was no spiritual meat because it was too expensive, but the bison meat was enough, and Liu Ruhua's craftsmanship was well-known, so the food was cheap but delicious, and everyone ate it.
Meat and wine, very happy.
Mr. Zhuang didn't like hustle and bustle, and the Bai brothers and sisters had special status, so Mo Hua didn't invite him. He just made some more delicious food and sent it to Mr. Zhuang and the others the next day.
Bai Zixi thanked her, ate the crispy snacks and drank the sweet wine, looking quite satisfied.
Bai Zisheng was very sorry. He also wanted to join in the fun, and he also wanted to follow others to drink and eat meat boldly. But he also knew that he could only think about it. Although Aunt Xue had a gentle temper, it was absolutely impossible for her to be strict with them.
Promised.
Mo Hua originally sympathized with him, but Bai Zisheng asked doubtfully:
"It's only the fourth level of Qi refining. Is it worth celebrating like this?"
The little sympathy in Mo Hua's heart disappeared in an instant.
For ordinary casual cultivators, the Qi refining period may be the end of the path, so every step forward is not easy.
