Asking About Longevity

Chapter 20 Formation

Mo Hua went back and tried to draw the formation pattern several times according to Yan Jiaoxi's instructions, and he felt suddenly enlightened.

 I fell asleep at night and practiced on the stone tablet, and my understanding was obviously much faster.

 There are some things that you don’t understand. If you draw them a few times, you will gradually understand the key points.

 As long as you have a firm grasp of the basic formation patterns, it is not too difficult to learn some variations of the formation patterns. The difficult thing is that without anyone's guidance, ink painting will not think in that direction, and naturally there is no way to think hard.

It took another day to get familiar with Mo Hua. When get out of class was over in the evening of the third day, Mo Hua began to formally draw the solid soil formation.

By the time the ink painting was completed, it was already midnight.

He did not inherit his father Mo Shan's talent for physical training. Instead, he was just like his mother Liu Ruhua. He had been a little frail since he was a child, even weaker than Liu Ruhua.

Of course you cannot skip courses such as the history of monasticism and general knowledge. These can improve your horizons and experience in monasticism.

 Five days later, during the ten-day break, Mo Hua finally used up all ten materials, and six out of ten paintings were successful.

Monks cultivate spiritual power through exercises and use Tao methods to drive spiritual power to attack.

Anyway, in these monastic disciplines that cost huge amounts of spiritual stones, it is unlikely that he will have any future in this life.

Mo Hua sighed.

 The teacher also has a good understanding of ink painting.

The writing was not smooth at first, but after stumbling, I finally managed to draw it, but it took a little longer.

 After that, the ink painting was still about the solid soil formation, which lasted for more than two months.

 Mo Hua took advantage of the one-day holiday and went to Youyuanzhai on North Street and handed the painted soil formation to the fat steward.

Not only did I not lose any money, I was able to earn four spiritual stones, so I was quite satisfied with the ink painting.

Mo Hua took these four spiritual stones and bought cakes. He ate two pieces himself, kept two pieces, and gave the rest to Dahu and the others.

 After that, all physical training courses can be skipped.

 When Mo Hua was born, he had memories of two lives. His spiritual consciousness was congenitally too strong, resulting in an imbalance between his spiritual consciousness and his physical body. As one thing grew and another faded, Mo Hua was weak and sickly from birth.

　　I want to finish ten paintings in five days, so time is very tight.

"Oh, right."

The fat steward looked at it and said to Mo Hua: "Your brother's foundation in formations is really poor, but he learns things quite quickly. Each of these formations is obviously better than the other. That's..."

 Tao methods are divided into two categories, one is magic-type Tao methods, and the other is martial arts-type Tao methods.

Mo Hua directly asked the key point: "Can I exchange it for a spiritual stone?"

But ink painting is destined to be unable to refine the body.

Dahu and the other three reluctantly gave up their thoughts.

The 100-kilogram stone tripod was lifted easily by others, but Mo Hua couldn't move it even with all his strength. Monks of the same age are generally a head taller than Mo Hua, and a lot stronger.

Mo Hua thought about it for a while, and finally had no choice but to find a way to skip some monastic courses.

Spells use spiritual consciousness to control spiritual power and condense it into spells for attack. Martial arts uses spiritual power to stimulate the potential of the physical body and fight with the physical body.

This appearance is not bad, but Mo Hua still feels that a man should be more majestic and majestic.

Mo Hua thought that after he fell asleep, his spiritual consciousness would automatically enter the sea of ​​​​consciousness, and he would not be able to dream...

 194.88.251.172

It takes one and a half hours to finish the ink painting of the solid earth formation with four formation patterns. After the painting is completed, because the spiritual consciousness is too much, you have to rest for an hour.

The steward criticized the first formation again: "This formation is drawn like a beginner, and some basic formation patterns are also stumbling..."

 So, Mo Hua selectively skipped these few classes. When he squeezed out the time, Mo Hua shut himself in the room and concentrated on painting the solid earth formation.

 The more I draw, the more I master it.

First, because practice makes perfect, the deeper the mastery and understanding of the formations, the shorter the time required to draw the formations. Second, practicing the formations day and night, continuously consuming, recovering and using spiritual consciousness, invisibly tempering the skills of ink painting. The intensity of his spiritual consciousness is much thicker than before.

Originally, he wanted to be strict with Mo Hua when teaching his disciples physical training, but after Mo Hua pushed the stone cauldron several times, the stone cauldron didn't move at all, and Mo Hua sprained his arm, he became more tolerant of Mo Hua.

 The spiritual consciousness is powerful, and its benefits for drawing formations are very obvious.

 That’s the way it is with monasticism. Sometimes hard work can’t solve the problem.

Dahu and the other three were very moved when they saw so many pastries, and asked Mo Hua if he still wanted to eat meat. They saw that the elder also raised a colorful duck, which was very fat.

 The manager's grumbling ink painting has become accustomed to it. It goes in the left ear and goes out the right ear.

In the dream of ink painting, I should be dressed in white robes, practice peerless skills, shoot out spears like a dragon, one man can guard the barrier, and be invincible by ten thousand men. It’s a pity that this scene can only be seen in dreams.

The steward rolled his eyes at Mo Hua, but still counted four spiritual stones to Mo Hua, "Let your brother draw better next time."

 I only drew one painting in one night, and it was still wrong.

  Alchemy and making talismans require spending spiritual stones to buy herbs and talisman jade, and renting the sect's alchemy furnace. It is not cheap to learn, so Mo Hua selectively skips some courses.

Mo Hua had a headache and told them to stop stealing, otherwise the sect would notify their parents and it would be strange if they didn’t get beaten up by their parents until they peeled off when they got home.

 Those who practice magic are called spiritual cultivation, and those who practice martial arts are called physical cultivation.

For example, his father is tall, has a heroic appearance, and looks majestic.

Although Mo Hua is thin, he has beautiful appearance, gentle temperament, red lips and white teeth. He was like a porcelain doll when he was ten years old.

 “Hmm,” Mo Hua nodded repeatedly as he got the spirit stone.

Tiandao has closed a window for you, maybe because he wants you to find another door, not because he wants you to stay stuck.

I checked the ink painting and found that there was nothing wrong with it. It was indeed the wrong painting.

According to Mr. Feng, the alchemist of Xinglintang, monks are born according to the way of heaven, and their spiritual consciousness and physical body are relatively balanced.

The success rate of the Solid Earth Formation has reached 80 to 90%. Occasionally ten sets can be successful. Each set of formations can earn two spirit stones. In the past two months, after deducting the usual food and clothing expenses, Mo Hua has made a full profit. One hundred spirit stones.

 In the Qi refining period, there is less spiritual practice and more physical practice. In particular, most of the monks in Tongxian City make a living by hunting monsters. Their spiritual cultivation is weak and they are not suitable for hunting monsters. Therefore, most casual cultivators follow the path of physical cultivation.

"How to do it?"

 Previously, it took almost three hours to draw a solid earth formation, including the time to rest and restore consciousness. Now it only takes one and a half hours.

For this reason, Tongxian Sect has specially opened a body training course to allow disciples in the sect to train their physical bodies in advance.

Mo Hua was going to save two hundred spiritual stones, so he went to the sect to select the lower-grade skills.

 Tell your parents after you have finished choosing, otherwise they will definitely say that they will come up with the spiritual stone, and the ink-painted spiritual stone will be kept for your own cultivation, or used to marry a Taoist companion and buy a cave in the future.
