Asking about longevity

After returning to the disciple's residence and closing the door, Mo Hua couldn't wait to use his spiritual consciousness to check his Taixu Order, which gave him permission to practice Taoism.

The Taixu Order was completely white, but densely packed handwriting appeared.

Some are spiritual courses, sect rules, etc.

These are what existed originally.

But now, as if outlined in ink and wash, the pastels are natural, and there are two more columns of text in the empty space of Taixuling.

One column is the reward basket, and the other column is the merit basket.

The bounty basket records various sect tasks.

Post tasks and reward meritorious deeds.

It is densely packed with text, which not only indicates the purpose of the mission, but also explains the general mission content, mission location, whether it is dangerous or not, and the rewarded merit points, etc.

At the same time, the requirements for accepting the reward are also listed.

For example, the realm of monks, Kung Fu, Taoism, whether they have expertise in alchemy and painting formations, etc.

The merit basket shows the various rewards that can be exchanged for the sect's meritorious service.

There are exercises, Tao methods, formation diagrams, elixir recipes, weapon refining manuals, etc., which are the secret cultivation inheritance of Taixu Sect.

There are also rare monastic materials such as spiritual weapons, elixirs, heavenly materials and earthly treasures.

In order to make it easier for disciples to check, some swords, spiritual weapons, elixirs, and some natural treasures such as ganoderma, lingzhi, hibiscus, and ginseng are even attached with a small watercolor pattern, which looks intuitive and beautiful. Very thoughtful.

Mo Hua guessed that this meritorious service must have been designed by a female elder in the sect.

At the same time, he was also confused.

How on earth is this kind of thing in Taixu Order made?

This somewhat goes against his common sense of monasticism.

He had never seen these things before.

This seems to be something that can only be accessed by foundation building, and it is not an ordinary foundation building. It must be a big inheritance like Taixu Sect, and only the disciples in the sect will have this kind of "sect order"...

But what exactly is the principle of this kind of sect order?

"Everything in the world is Tao, and all phenomena and myriad avenues are transformed into one, and manifested into formations..."

"So could this be some kind of formation?"

Mo Hua thought about it for a long time and shook his head.

He couldn't figure out what kind of formation logic could be used to construct such a strange but extremely wonderful meritorious service in a small token.

Use pen and ink to form words and convey messages.

It can also be transformed into pictures using pink and ink, with various colors...

But according to the intuition of ink painting, these should be just appearances.

This is most likely a type of formation that I have never seen or learned.

It is necessary to use an extremely special formation pattern, formation pivot and formation eyes to form the underlying basic formation framework.

Mo Hua frowned and suddenly had a thought.

"How about... do some calculations?"

See if you can figure out anything from the Taixu Order...

When he first entered school, Mo Hua also took a peek at Taixuling.

But at that time, his authority was extremely low, his consciousness was cut off by the Taixu Order, and his vision of formations was still shallow, so he didn't see anything.

Now he has been following Mr. Xun and learning formations for nearly half a year.

His spiritual consciousness is stronger, his knowledge of formations is deeper, and his experience in formations is also extensive.

At this time, Mr. Xun gave him "authority" again...

Mo Hua's eyes lit up and he immediately sat up straight. His consciousness sank into the Taixu Order, carefully observing the changes in various words and ink in the order.

At the same time, his spiritual thoughts were running very fast, and according to the secret calculation method, he peeked at the truth under the pictures...

The words of Tai Xu Ling gradually blurred, and the colorful patterns appeared double.

Taixu Ling's appearance faded a little, revealing his looming true nature...

Vaguely, Mo Hua glimpsed a clue.

Ink words and watercolor pictures are indeed representations.

The essence of these words and pictures is formation patterns.

All the words and pictures are composed of simple, unified, rigid but well-ordered patterns, arranged in order, and combined with changes.

And these formation patterns are uniformly controlled by the formation pivot.

All the formation hubs are neat and tight, and like all rivers returning to the sea, they fall into the same general, majestic formation hub.

This kind of large formation hub is extremely complex and huge.

The outside is covered with layers of profound and dense "coats" of formation patterns, forming an indestructible formation barrier.

Mo Hua's spiritual consciousness seemed small and weak in front of these formation pivots.

As the sea of ​​consciousness gradually dries up, the calculations have come to this point, and there are more things that cannot be calculated due to the limited consciousness of ink painting...

But he was also greatly shocked by this.

"Isn't this... also a big formation?!"

A large formation built by Taixu Order! !

All Taixu Sect disciples, each Taixu Order, is a formation "terminal", which is then unified and connected to the Taixu Sect's grand formation pivot imprinted with the "core sequence".

In this way, all disciples of the Taixu Sect, relying on the Taixu Order, can share "messages" and use their spiritual consciousness to reveal words and pass them on.

This is another completely different type of formation.

It is different from the Five Elements Demon Slaying Formation and the Five Elements Mountain Protecting Formation, which are external, powerful and magnificent formations.

The grand formation of Taixu Order builds a magnificent and all-encompassing sea of ​​information and a torrent of spiritual thoughts in a small space.

This... is also a kind of avenue between heaven and earth?

Mo Hua was eye-opening and shocked, and then he couldn't help but think silently:

What if... I learned this kind of grand formation...

Deciphered the formation hub barrier and controlled the "core formation hub" of the formation...

Yes or no……

Can you eavesdrop on the communications of all the elders and disciples in Taixu Sect?

Can you peek into all the core secrets of Taixu Sect?

Moreover, does taking control of this great formation also mean...

Can you tamper with Taixu's "authority"?

Give yourself “power”?

Or even directly modify your own "merit value" manually?

What kind of sect's treasures, innate spiritual objects, and divine sword techniques can be exchanged for whatever you want?

The value of merit is endless, and you can’t spend it all in your lifetime? !

…

Mo Hua opened his mouth wide.

Evil little thoughts spring up one after another, constantly popping up...

Then he shook his head and said solemnly:

"no!"

"I am now a serious disciple of the Taixu Sect. I have principles. I cannot do such things that harm the interests of the sect and steal the sect's authority!"

"Greed is a taboo in Taoism!"

It's just that his little heart is still a little ready to move.

People from the Taixu Sect cannot steal, but...

Mo Hua's mind was spinning rapidly.

Since Taixu Sect is using this formation system, it means that other sects in Qianxue State are probably also using it.

By extension…

Even sects that are more powerful, have a longer heritage, and have a deeper foundation are likely to have this large array that combines communication, rewards and punishments, and promotions.

Even if it's not a big formation, it's at least a complex formation.

There are differences in scale, but the array type, framework logic, and underlying architecture must be the same.

I don't know this formation yet.

But the ready-made Taixu Order is placed in front of him. The better he learns the formations, the stronger his spiritual consciousness, and the more proficient in the calculation of heavenly secrets. Sooner or later, he will be able to calculate this entire formation system...

Mo Hua couldn't help but feel excited, and then thought about it:

"I am a disciple of Taixu Sect. I cannot do bad things to Taixu Sect..."

"But, other sects...I am not their disciple..."

"Some righteous sects don't do good things either..."

"What's more, there are still demons and heretics in this world, and the evil corpse sect..."

"If I master this formation in the future..."

Mo Hua had a smile on his face, like a little fox, and hummed in his heart:

"You sects, it's best not to offend me..."

"Otherwise, if I pick up your sect token in the future, you will be in great luck..."

…

Of course, it's still a little early.

Mo Hua put away his thoughts and started to make down-to-earth plans.

The meal must be eaten one bite at a time, and the road must be walked step by step.

Taixu ordered him to study slowly.

Now we still have to accept the bounty offered by the sect, earn merits, change formations, and enhance our spiritual consciousness.

After I have accumulated more merits and my authority has been upgraded, I will go and see if there is any true secret of Taixu Divine Mind Transformation into Swords in the higher-grade Merit Boxes.

as well as……

A formation that can "reverse life and death"...

Mo Hua's eyes were firm.

After that, Mo Hua began to take on tasks.

He remembered old Mr.

The so-called "receiving" tasks is actually a two-way street.

Both the ink painting application and the approval of others are required.

In the Taixu Order, you can use your spiritual consciousness to manifest words.

There are many tasks on the bounty list, and they are densely packed.

If you want to apply to receive a task, you can manifest it with your spiritual consciousness and leave your name under the task.

This name contains some basic information about the disciples.

Including realm cultivation level, the skills practiced, the Taoist skills he is good at, the grade of the formation alchemy talisman and so on.

It is up to the disciple to decide which messages will be displayed specifically.

After seeing these messages, the monk who sent the mission will consider the situation carefully and decide whether to agree to let you take on the mission.

A contract is reached only if both parties agree.

However, Mo Hua, who was still a "newcomer" because Mr.

Look at the mountain gate...

Others don't want him, saying that he is too young, and his height and appearance make him look "small". Others will say that Taixu Sect hires schoolchildren, which has a bad influence...

Sweep the dojo...

The ink painting was scanned once.

The sect's deacon thought he was too slow to sweep, and seeing his small arms and legs, he couldn't bear to let him sweep, so he simply stopped picking him up after that...

Refining weapons, refining elixirs, refining talismans, etc., I can't do ink painting.

Other bounties are even more unavailable.

So in the end, ink painting can only draw formations.

"Just draw the formation when you draw it..."

I originally wanted to experience ink painting for other tasks, but I had to put my mind down and draw the formation with peace of mind.

But he still thought simply.

The mission of the sect is essentially a "reward".

This kind of reward is issued by Taixu Sect, other neighboring sects, Dao Tingsi, other related forces, and individual monks.

Rewards will be issued only if there is demand.

You can only draw it if others need it.

It doesn’t mean that you can draw anything yourself.

This one is nothing.

The commonly used Five Elements Formation and Bagua Formation, Mo Hua was extremely proficient in one and considered proficient in the other.

In the Taixu Order, most of the second-level first-level ones are at least some of the "rewards" for formations above the first-level level. Mo Hua is capable of doing it, and is even "more than enough"...

But he couldn't catch it at all!

The monk who offered the reward didn't choose him at all!

Because the formation bounty tasks depend on the level of the formation determined by Daoting.

Those competing with Mo Hua are all "second-grade elementary" and "second-grade intermediate" formation masters...

These formation masters were all senior brothers and sisters who were a few years ahead of him.

As for Mo Hua himself, he had only passed the qualification of a First-Rank Formation Master and held the title of "First-Rank Formation Master". Others didn't look at him at all.

Even if Mo Hua labeled himself "good at formations", no one would believe him.

All his skills are useless.

Mo Hua sighed helplessly.

He could only turn around and pick up some "small orders" for first-level formations...

These small orders are all for first-level formations, and almost no one takes them, because the merit points given are too small, and second-level formation masters look down on them.

Most of the first-level formation masters are just disciples who have just started, and most of them have not yet opened the authority of Taixu Order.

Therefore, there are only a very few orders of this kind, and the senior brothers and sisters who are new to the second-level formations will pick them up and use them to practice.

The title of "First-grade Formation Master" designated by the Taoist court in Mo Hua Sutra seems to be very "weighty" when used to receive the reward of First-grade Formation.

He was not polite, and his consciousness quickly scanned over. As long as there was a reward with the words "First-grade Formation", he clicked on it and left his name:

"Ink painting!"

After a while, Taixu Ling trembled slightly, as if it was a reminder.

Mo Hua's spiritual sense took a look and found that some of the reward applications were indeed accepted, while others that had "no vision" still rejected him.

Mo Hua snorted.

If you ignore me today, you won’t be able to reach me tomorrow!

If it weren't for the "Tiger Falling at Pingyang", who would accept the bounties for these first-grade formations?

Then Mo Hua scanned the "reward basket" again and applied for several first-grade formation rewards. After waiting for a while, a few agreed and a few refused.

Mo Hua counted and found that there were six first-grade formation rewards in total.

He wanted to pick up some more, but when his consciousness moved, he could not manifest the words.

After thinking about it for a while, Mo Hua roughly understood it.

This has reached the bounty limit.

A disciple can only receive up to six bounties at a time.

The ink painting is a bit of a pity.

"But six copies are okay. Let's finish the drawing first..."

Mo Hua put Taixu Ling into his storage bag, then stood up and left the disciples' residence. Based on the map of Taixu Sect in his mind, he found the location of the "Pavilion of Merit".

Taixu Ming's Merit Pavilion is the place that manages the merit system and is used to handle matters related to issuing bounties, receiving bounties, and collecting bounties in a unified manner.

The sect offers a reward, and it must be received in Taixu Order.

But when it comes to some necessary procedures and receiving rewards, you have to come to the Merit Pavilion in person.

The same goes for drawing formations.

For ink paintings, you need to go to the Merit Pavilion to receive pens, ink, paper, and basic formation diagrams.

Of course, only simple formations or formations with special needs will be provided by others.

For slightly more difficult or rare formations, the person who draws the formation will have to figure out how to draw the formation by himself.

In the Merit Pavilion, there were many disciples coming and going, busy.

Mo Hua queued for a while, and when it was his turn, he ran to the stage, showed the Taixu Order, and said:

"Elder, I accept the reward for the formation."

The meritorious elder is also an old man, with gray hair, but chubby.

He checked Mo Hua's Taixu Order. Although he looked a little confused, he still took out six storage bags and handed them to Mo Hua.

In the storage bag is the pen and ink array diagram used for the reward.

Mo Hua took the storage bag and turned around to leave.

"etc……"

The meritorious elder stared at the ink painting, but still couldn't hold it back and asked:

"How old are you?"

"fifteen!"

"Fifteen..." The meritorious elder frowned, "Then you must have just started. In less than a year, how can you use Taixu Ling to take on errands?"

Mo Hua put everything on Mr. Xun, "Mr. Xun asked me to do tasks, earn merit, and learn formations!"

The meritorious elder was startled, "Mr. Xun?"

Weird...

Isn't that old man always stubborn? Why did you start breaking the rules?

The meritorious elder stared at Mo Hua again. Seeing his small stature and six storage bags on his body, he couldn't help but ask:

"Can you finish the six formations?"

"Yes!" Mo Hua said, "I can draw formations very quickly!"

Is it fast to draw formations?

How fast can I draw if I'm a little bigger?

The meritorious elder shook his head, asked no more questions, and waved his hand, "Okay, go ahead and paint. Don't be greedy, otherwise you won't be able to complete the task, and your reputation will get worse..."

"Okay, elder."

Mo Hua agreed.

The meritorious elder watched Mo Hua leave and didn't pay much attention to it.

But an hour later, Mo Hua came back and placed six storage bags on the table.

"Elder, I've finished painting."

The meritorious elder was stunned.

Finished painting?

He unfolded the storage bag, and it was indeed filled with first-grade formations. Some used paper as matchmakers, while others used formation disks or spiritual weapon embryos as matchmakers.

Every formation is neat and rigorous, conforms to specifications, and is flawless.

"It's so fast to draw..."

The meritorious elder was a little surprised, but after thinking about it, he didn't think it was anything.

After all, it's just a first-grade formation.

The meritorious elder's consciousness flashed and he nodded, "It is indeed completed. Six first-grade formations, with a total of nineteen merit points, have been added to your Taixu Order."

Mo Hua was overjoyed, his spiritual consciousness entered too empty, and he found that there was a small number under his name:

nineteen.

This means that he has earned nineteen merit points.

"Okay, you..." The meritorious elder wanted to say, "You can leave," but unexpectedly, Mo Hua said immediately:

"Elder, please wait..."

Mo Hua sank his consciousness into the Taixu Ling. After a moment, he raised his head and handed the Taixu Ling to the meritorious elder, "I took a few more..."

The meritorious elder's eyelids twitched slightly.

This little kid doesn't follow the rules...

Where can I get a mission like this?

Moreover, at such a young age, you have received so many formations, aren’t you afraid that your spiritual consciousness will be consumed too much...

The meritorious elder hesitated for a moment and saw that Mo Hua was in high spirits and did not look tired, so he said nothing and handed several storage bags to Mo Hua's hands.

Mo Hua left happily.

The meritorious elder watched him leave and silently remembered the name on his Taixu Order.

…

In the days that followed, Mo Hua continued to draw formations.

But for the first-level formations, the merit points are too low. Most of them are only about three or four points, and it is too slow to accumulate them.

What he wanted to change was the fifteen-line and sixteen-line formations. Each formation required hundreds of meritorious deeds.

Fortunately, Mo Hua draws quickly and the progress was pretty good at first.

But gradually, his plan to accumulate meritorious service was stalled again.

First, because he still has to take Taoist classes, so he can't draw every day.

Even if I paint, it only lasts for an hour at most.

He also needs to practice the Yuze Formation of the fifteen lines to enhance his spiritual consciousness, so he doesn't have much time.

Another reason is that in the Taixu Order, there are fewer and fewer rewards for first-grade formations.

Taixu Sect disciples are all above Foundation Establishment, so there is not much demand for first-grade formations.

Mo Hua painted very fast, five or six paintings at a time, and he received many, so soon, he had almost finished collecting the bounties for the first-grade formations.

There are only a few scattered ones left, maybe one or two bounties a day.

Ink painting may not be available yet.

All in all, two or three points of merit were earned a day.

Like a turtle crawling.

After saving for a year, you may not be able to exchange for a fifteen-line formation.

Mo Hua sighed, frowned and thought:

"No, this is too slow. We need to find a way to find other tasks to do, accumulate merits quickly, and change formations..."

"But what should I do..."

Mo Hua had no clue for a moment, so he put his consciousness into Taixu Ling, looked through the "reward basket", and after studying for many days, he finally found a reliable method.

He is of a low level and has little qualifications, so he cannot accept the reward.

However, he can "mix" the reward!

Some bounties cannot be completed by one person. After a leading disciple takes it, three or four more disciples will be formed to complete it collaboratively.

After completion, merit points are distributed according to contribution.

There will be some disparity, but not much.

Mo Hua looked at it and saw that some of the more difficult tasks had hundreds of rewards. If he "sneaked" in, he could at least get dozens of merit points.

It is equivalent to painting a first-grade formation for a month.

Mo Hua's eyes lit up and he just did it.

There will be some recruitment information attached to the reward basket of Taixu Order.

Someone has accepted the reward and needs to recruit people to complete it together.

Mo Hua turned over and over again and searched for a long time, his consciousness was numb. Finally, he found a recruitment message that suited him, and he could follow the "messy" mission:

"On the ninth day of the fifth lunar month, the second rank will visit the Cangzhou border to hunt down criminal cultivators..."

"This criminal cultivator is proficient in formations and is good at setting up formations. He is not easy to deal with."

"You need to ask a fellow formation master to assist you. The first level of the second level is better. If the formation is exquisite and you have the ability to protect yourself, the first level is also acceptable..."

"After the achievement is completed, merit will be distributed according to the contribution, starting from 100 points..."

…

Mo Hua looked at it carefully again.

"It has the power of self-preservation", "It can be a first-class product"...

Isn’t this just talking about yourself?

And it starts with 100 merit points!

Mo Hua was so happy that he left his name in the recruitment process:

"Ink painting."

Then I thought about it and added:

"Be able to hide and have the ability to protect yourself..."

"Very good at formations!"
