Asking About Longevity

Chapter 71 Xinglin Hall

 When Dazhu delivered the Poria cocos to the Mo family, Mo Hua was eating fragrant beef noodles in the restaurant like other diners.

Liu Ruhua opened the box and when she saw the bright blue water tuckahoe, she resisted and said, "This is too valuable, I can't accept it."

"Aunt Liu, just take it. The ink painting has helped my master a lot. Master asked me to send it here specially."

Liu Ruhua said with a smile: "Hua'er is just a kid, how can he help?"

Mo Hua saw Dazhu and ran to the door with the bowl in hand. He glanced at the box in Dazhu's hand and asked, "What is this?"

Dazhu said proudly: "This is Poria cocos. It can clear away heat and fire, clear the heart and calm the mind. A herb collector asked my master to refine a spiritual weapon. He didn't have any spiritual stones to pay, so he used this to pay off his debt. Aunt Liu was not in good health, and it happened to be It can be used for conditioning.”

Mo Hua's eyes lit up and he accepted it immediately, "Thank you Master Chen for me!"

 “It’s okay, it’s okay!” Dazhu waved his hand.

Seeing this, Liu Ruhua had no choice but to give up and asked Dazhu, "Have you not eaten yet? Let's go inside and have a bowl of noodles."

Dazhu said sincerely: "I'm not hungry."

Mo Hua took Dazhu to the room and sat down, "Go back after eating."

Liu Ruhua filled Dazhu with a large bowl of noodles with beef on top. The heat and aroma hit his face.

Dazhu was sweating profusely after eating.

Liu Ruhua knew that these children usually worked hard and had a hard time eating enough, so he brought another bowl of noodles.

Dazhu smiled broadly.

Liu Ruhua looked at the box of Poria cocos and said to Mo Hua: "This Poria cocos is very valuable. I'll go and thank Master Chen when I have time. If I can really help, I'll help you more."

"It's okay, mother. I'll take care of whatever formation Master Chen wants to draw in the future." Mo Hua assured him by patting his chest. After thinking about it, he added, "Anything below the first grade will do."

 The formation that truly contains nine formation patterns cannot be drawn in ink painting yet.

"You must be humble as a person, and don't talk big about things you can't do." Liu Ruhua touched Mo Hua's head.

"Little Brother Mo is very good, and he can draw formations very well! My master praised him and said that he can become a first-class formation master in the future." Dazhu said naively.

“You can’t predict what will happen in the future, and you can’t be proud in your spiritual life.”

Liu Ruhua said this, but she was still very happy that her child was praised by others. He prepared a plate of beef and rice wine and asked Dazhu to take it back to Master Chen. He also brought some snacks to his senior brothers. Let's satisfy our cravings.

Dazhu carried several food boxes and went back happily.

In the evening, under the "supervision" of Mo Hua, Liu Ruhua boiled Poria cocos into a decoction and took it. The meridians were indeed much cooler, but she still felt distressed for Lingshi.

 Such a good medicinal material, Mo Hua would definitely not have used it herself if Mo Hua had not insisted on it.

When Mo Hua saw that his mother had taken the decoction, he went back to his room with peace of mind to continue studying the formation.

“The quality of the spirit ink will affect the effectiveness of the formation…”

“On array media made of different materials, the attachment of array patterns and the conduction of spiritual power are also different…”

“The spiritual power at the third level of Qi Refining is too weak…”

“Practical application can indeed improve the memory and understanding of the formation. The molten formation containing six formations was a bit unfamiliar before, but now it is as if it is engraved in the mind, and each stroke will emerge like instinct..."

 Putting what you learn into practice, Mr. Zhuang is indeed right!

Drawing the formations on different formation media and making the formations actually take effect. This process can reveal many problems and is also very helpful in understanding the formations.

It's just that it's not easy to find opportunities to apply what you've learned. Others probably won't find a young monk at the third level of Qi Refining to draw formations. And the formations used in the life of low-level casual cultivators are too low-end, and most of them only contain two or three. Formation patterns, more than four formation patterns are very rare.

How to do it?

It is necessary to use a formation that contains at least five formation patterns, and the material of the formation medium is preferably fine iron, and it must be an acquaintance, otherwise others will not agree to let Mo Hua draw the formation, and it will be difficult to explain if the formation is wrong.

After much deliberation, Master Chen and his stove are the most suitable.

However, it is not easy to dismantle a stove that has just been dismantled and paint it again.

 Are there any other stoves?

Mo Hua secretly took a look at his stove and felt that the fire in the stove seemed a bit too small.

The next day, Mo Hua tried to mention his idea to his mother, but she was decisively rejected. "This stove is not only used for business, but also for cooking for you and your father, and the heat is sufficient. Unless it breaks down, don't even think about using it."

Liu Ruhua is Mo Hua’s mother. She watched him grow up and could see through Mo Hua’s little thoughts at a glance.

 The ink painting had to be abandoned.

 A few days later, Liu Ruhua went to Xinglin Hall and asked Mr. Feng for a follow-up consultation. Mo Hua also followed.

Mr. Feng checked his pulse with a silk thread, nodded and said:

"Yes, the heart and lungs are well warmed. You can try to use your spiritual power occasionally to let the meridians adapt, but you cannot activate your spiritual power for a long time, otherwise it will still damage the body. As for the remaining fire poison, it has been almost eliminated."

“I’ll prescribe some medicinal materials, you go and get them, and I’ll make them into elixirs later, and you can take them back and take them.”

Mr. Feng took a pen and wrote the names of several medicines on the paper. Liu Ruhua took it and prescribed the medicine. He also asked Mo Hua not to run around and talk to Mr. Feng.

After Liu Ruhua left, Mr. Feng took a sip of tea and looked up to see Mo Hua staring at the alchemy furnace in the room.

“Hua’er, what do you think of that alchemy furnace?”

Mo Hua asked: "Grandpa Feng, do you think this alchemy furnace will break down?"

“As long as it is a spiritual weapon, it may break.” Mr. Feng said, stroking his beard.

 “Has it been broken before?”

Mr. Feng nodded, "It has indeed broken several times."

“Then if it breaks next time, can you let me fix it?” Mo Hua whispered.

Mr. Feng was slightly surprised, "Have you learned how to make weapons?"

"No," Mo Hua waved his little hand, "The stove outside is broken, and I can't do anything about it. I mean, if the formation inside is broken, can I fix it?"

Mr. Feng looked at the ink painting with a smile and said: "Okay, if the formation in the alchemy furnace is broken, I will let you fix it!"

Mo Hua smiled and narrowed his eyes, "Then it's settled!"

Mr. Feng smiled and said: "It's settled!"

Liu Ruhua walked out with a few medicine bags in his hand. Seeing Mo Hua and the two chatting happily, he couldn't help but smile and said warmly: "What are you talking about?"

 “I just negotiated a small business with Grandpa Feng.” Mo Hua said with a smile.

“Do you still want to earn your Grandpa Feng’s spiritual stone?”

 “Only talk about friendship, not spiritual stones.” Mo Hua said.

Liu Ruhua smiled and shook his head, and handed the medicine bag in his hand to Mr. Feng, "Thank you, Mr. Feng."

Mr. Feng took it with a smile, then stood up and walked to the alchemy room, put the medicinal materials into the alchemy furnace, and when he was about to start the furnace and light the fire, he suddenly paused and looked at the alchemy furnace in front of him with a complicated expression.

“Grandpa Feng, what’s wrong?” Mo Hua couldn’t help but ask.

Mr. Feng wiped the edge of the furnace with his hand, checked the spirit stone, and then said with some helplessness: "The alchemy furnace is broken."

Mo Hua was confused. After a while, he whispered:

 “Well...it’s not bad because it listens to me...”

　　Thank you, Sweet Tomato, for the tip~

In addition, some friends may be a little confused about the setting of the protagonist, so I will add some additional information.

The protagonist of this book is actually a child, and he just awakened some vague memories of his previous life.

I am a child myself, so I have the mentality of a child. Because I have memories of another life, my perception of the world will be very different.

  This is different from traveling in the general sense.

Usually in time-travel settings, the protagonist’s body and related interpersonal relationships after time-traveling are actually not his own ~www.novelmt.com~. I didn’t think there was anything wrong with it. When I wrote it, I felt it was somewhat inconsistent.

As for why the protagonist’s age is set so young, it’s because being young means beginning and hope.

The main plot of the novel also gradually unfolds with the growth of the protagonist~
