Asking about longevity

After Mo Hua left his name, he waited expectantly. After finally lighting the incense, Taixu Ling trembled slightly.

The application for ink painting was accepted.

One hundred meritorious deeds!

Mo Hua was very happy.

After that, he began to prepare for the reward.

Bring some spiritual stones, some spiritual ink, and your own little "hiding" cloak. Although the Qianjun Rod is useless, it has been with you for so long, so I might as well bring it with me.

In addition, there seems to be a Diancang Mountain on the border of Diancang Prefecture...

I don’t know if there is any poisonous gas or miasma in the mountains, so I have to bring the poison-preventing pill and the miasma-preventing pill, as well as the second-grade ones.

There are other bits and pieces, and the ink paintings are all ready.

The final problem is to prepare some means to defeat the enemy.

Ink Hua silently ponders...

The mission in the middle stage of foundation building is to hunt down the guilty cultivator, and that guilty cultivator should also be in the middle stage of foundation building.

If his cultivation level is higher than his own, the power of the fireball technique is probably greatly reduced.

As for the formation...

The second-grade earth fire formation has thirteen lines. The second-grade preliminary formation is probably less lethal to monks in the middle stage of foundation establishment.

"The means of attack are still lacking..."

Mo Hua sighed.

However, he is only in the early stage of foundation building and cannot beat the middle stage of foundation building, which seems normal.

Moreover, the requirement for this reward is an formation master who is "proficient in formations".

It can be seen that there is no need to kill it yourself.

With the formation ability, just follow the "gangster"...

However, a little more preparation can be done.

If you encounter a strong enemy, you'd better be able to help.

"It's the third day of the Lunar New Year, and there are still six days until the ninth day of the Lunar New Year..."

Mo Hua thought: "Six days is barely enough time to learn a spell..."

"This spell doesn't require killing..."

"Because my spiritual power is weak, except for the fireball technique, I probably won't be able to learn other powerful spells. Even if I learn them, their power will be very low..."

"Then learn how to control..."

Spells of control...

Mo Hua's eyes lit up, "Second-grade Water Prison Technique!"

The water prison technique is still very useful.

It is especially used to trap enemies, interrupt attacks, and restrain those monks with excellent physical skills. Basically, every attack is accurate.

It's just that before, he only had the secret book of the first-grade water prison technique, and he used it more during the Qi refining period.

After being promoted to Foundation Establishment, the effect of this spell was greatly reduced, and it was used less.

And he couldn't find the second-level spell secret book.

This is the dilemma of casual cultivators with weak inheritance.

There is nothing I can do about ink painting.

But now, after entering Taixu Sect, it is different.

Taixu Sect has a long heritage and profound foundation, and has collected many Taoist teachings in the world.

There should be a second-grade water prison technique in the merit basket.

Mo Hua felt a little happy in his heart, and his consciousness immediately sank into Taixu Ling. He rummaged through the merit basket, and in just a cup of tea, he found the secret of the Water Prison Technique!

And, it’s a complete set!

Level 1 to Level 4, the complete secret book of Water Prison Technique!

There are some notes below:

"Water Prison, a rare spell.

It was once the secret knowledge of Shuiyun Sect and has never been passed down to the outside world.

In the winter of the 19080th year of the Dao calendar, the entire Water Prison Sect became possessed by demons and was suppressed by the Taoist court. After its destruction, the Water Prison Technique leaked out and spread throughout the world, but there were many flaws in the techniques...

During the 19,900th year of Taoism, this technique was compiled into a book by Master Yi and included in the Taixu Sect..."

There is another comment later:

"The Water Prison Technique has a rare function and is easy to learn but difficult to master, so choose carefully."

After looking at the ink painting, I was a little surprised.

This water prison technique actually has some background.

Water Prison Sect, what kind of sect is it?

How could the entire sect be possessed?

And who is this Mr. Yi?

Mo Hua thought about it and didn't care much.

The world of cultivation is so big, and there are so many sects and monks with their origins, how can he have time to study them one by one?

Just learn some.

Mo Hua looked at the merit basket and found that the complete water prison technique, from the first to the fourth level, requires a total of more than 10,000 merits...

Mo Hua took a breath.

too expensive! !

Even if he sells him, he can't afford it.

Mo Hua looked at it carefully again, and then realized that this spell could be taken apart and bought.

From the first grade to the second grade, only two hundred and sixty meritorious deeds are needed.

High-grade talents are expensive, with third-grade talents costing more than 2,000 and fourth-grade talents costing more than 8,000.

Mo Hua breathed a sigh of relief, "Fortunately, I only need to buy the second-grade one..."

But then he thought about it, the two hundred and sixty meritorious service of the second grade is not cheap at all...

He now has a total of 2,780 meritorious deeds.

This was the result of his hard work, accepting so many bounties, drawing nearly a hundred formations, and saving up for so long.

The ink painting was a little tangled. I turned it over and over in my mind and compared it for a long time before making a decision.

Merit is for use!

If you don’t spend it, what will you do to earn it?

It's just the cost of one or two sixteen-pattern formations.

If you learn this Water Prison Technique thoroughly and practice it proficiently, you can benefit from it throughout the foundation building period!

"Bought it!"

Mo Hua gritted his teeth and decided.

Then with a swipe of his hand, all the hard-earned achievements were gone in a flash.

Mo Hua was so heartbroken that he couldn't breathe.

But thinking that I had learned a new spell, I felt a little better.

Without further ado, Mo Hua immediately ran to the Gongxun Pavilion and redeemed the "Second Grade Water Prison Technique" he had just bought.

The person who received Mo Hua was still the meritorious elder. He looked at the "Water Prison Technique" secret book and said with some surprise:

"Didn't you say that you want to save merit and learn formations? Why did you save for so long and buy this magic secret book?"

"And... is it still this weird water prison technique?"

Mo Hua said: "A sharpened sword is a good chopping wood! I have learned spells so that I can better 'mix' tasks and earn more merit! Then I can change more formations!"

"A mixed mission?" The meritorious elder was stunned.

Mo Hua felt a little guilty and said, "I made a mistake. I was 'taking' the mission."

The meritorious elder shook his head, a little confused.

"Why is this little kid so weird..."

"Learning such a tricky spell...what exactly does he want to do?"

But since Mo Hua wanted to change, he couldn't say anything. This was in line with the rules of Taixu Sect. As long as he had merit, he could change whatever he wanted, and he couldn't interfere.

The meritorious elder handed the secret book of the second-grade water prison technique to Mo Hua.

Mo Hua took the secret book and ran away with a smile on his face, leaving the meritorious elder behind with a thoughtful look on his face.

…

Mo Hua returned to his disciple's residence and couldn't wait to open the "Secret Book of Water Prison Technique".

This secret book is of the second level.

But because the disciples of the Taixu Sect all started school at the foundation-building level, the second-level secret book also "included" the first-level magic formula.

"buy one get one free……"

Mo Hua nodded, feeling that it was not a loss.

In order to make more money, Mo Hua read through the first-grade water prison technique from beginning to end, and then he was surprised to find that this first-grade water prison technique was very different from the water prison secret book he got...

The techniques are more complete, the key points are more complex, and the flow of spiritual power from the meridians is more difficult.

Mo Hua remembered the origin of the water prison technique on the merit basket, and suddenly realized.

My previous secret book of first-grade Water Prison Technique was obtained from the Sin Cultivator of Dahei Mountain. It was a lost inheritance after the destruction of Water Prison Sect.

What the Taixu Sect contains is the magic formula compiled by Master Yi. This is the complete and orthodox inheritance of Water Prison Technique.

"This Master Yi is really a good man!"

Mo Hua also labeled Yi Zhenren as a "good guy".

Then Mo Hua began to review, check for omissions and fill in the gaps, and reshape his first-grade water prison technique. At the same time, on this basis, he studied and continued to practice the orthodox second-grade water prison technique.

The orthodox water prison technique emphasizes the use of "water" to condense the shape and draw the ground as a prison.

The water prison technique before ink painting could only be simply "restrained".

But the orthodox water prison technique is more like a "shackles".

Even water-based spiritual power can corrode the meridians and cause pain.

It's not very lethal, but it can make people feel "suffocated".

It's like a real "water prison".

Regardless of "imprisonment" or "suffocation", the effect of the spell is much higher than before.

Because Mo Hua's first-grade water prison technique is used extremely skillfully, on this basis, optimizing the spell and upgrading the spell will get twice the result with half the effort.

As for the Water Prison Technique, although it is remote, it is also very difficult to practice.

But the spiritual consciousness of ink painting is strong and sharp, so it is not very difficult to learn.

Five or six days later, Mo Hua's second-level water prison technique was used in a formal way.

He tried the effect and felt quite satisfied.

It is important for people to know themselves.

Be clear about your positioning.

Since killing is not possible, then learn some water prison techniques. It is also good to disgust people.

It can be regarded as a contribution to completing the task!

On the ninth day of the Lunar New Year, Mo Hua packed up his things and set off to the foot of Taixu Mountain to meet up with a few "teammates".

Taixumen has a ten-day holiday, with two days off every ten days.

The ten-day holiday in the first ten days of each month is the two days of the ninth and tenth days of the lunar month.

During these two days, disciples can arrange freely, as long as they do not do evil, the sect does not impose restrictions.

During the previous ten days off, Mo Hua had been practicing formations alone in his disciple's room.

This is his first time going out.

Mo Hua wore Taixu Sect Taoist robes and left Taixu Sect. According to the agreed time and place, he arrived at the foot of a mountain in the southwest.

Next to the foot of the mountain, there is a big stone that is very conspicuous.

When Mo Hua reached the foot of the mountain, he saw two monks under the big rock, and they were both women.

A man wearing Taixumen Taoist robes, tall, gentle and beautiful.

The other one was wearing a gold-pink Taoist robe with rich embroidery. He was gorgeously dressed and had a pretty face. He didn't look like he was from the Taixu sect.

Both of them have foundation building cultivation, and they are bigger than Mo Hua.

Mo Hua greeted: "Hello, senior sister."

The two women were a little surprised, but seeing Mo Hua's picturesque eyebrows, fair skin, and clear eyes, and wearing a black and white Taixu Sect Taoist robe, they both smiled and said:

"Hello, little junior brother."

But after all, they were all relatively strangers, so they didn’t say anything more.

Mo Hua waited obediently.

The two senior sisters looked at Mo Hua in surprise, thinking that Mo Hua was waiting for someone, so they didn't say anything and waited silently.

After a while, another monk came.

He is a man, wearing a golden-red Taoist robe, embroidered with mountain patterns, with a strong aura, tall and handsome appearance.

He walked straight over, with a gentle temperament, and said hello:

"Hello, two junior sisters."

The two female cultivators also said, "Hello, Senior Brother Feng."

The man looked around and then asked, "Is anyone here?"

The gentle woman wearing Taixu Sect's Taoist robe frowned slightly, "I told you to gather here, but I haven't seen anyone yet..."

"You probably won't break the appointment."

"By accepting the mission, you have made a spiritual contract. It shouldn't be..."

"How's that person's formation?"

"It's not clear yet, but he is at least a first-grade formation master. I have seen him receive many bounties for first-grade formations. I think even if he doesn't know second-grade formations, he should be very proficient in first-grade formations..."

"There's only one grade, I'm afraid it's not enough..." the pretty woman said.

The gentle woman sighed:

"Array masters usually only accept formation tasks. They usually don't take on dangerous tasks like going out and hunting down criminal cultivators..."

"I waited for several days before a first-grade formation master was willing to take over the mission."

"Besides, our share of merit is not too much..."

The man was helpless, "Indeed, there are only more than a hundred points..."

This amount of merit can be earned by a second-grade formation master by drawing a few formations. There is no need to go out, travel, or take risks...

"I just don't know if this person is reliable..."

"First grade...it's probably hard to be reliable..."

"Let's just make do with it. Now that things have happened, I have no choice..."

"Then wait," the man in the golden equatorial robe sighed, then looked up at the sky and said:

"It's getting late. I wonder when the formation master will come..."

"I am coming!"

A crisp voice suddenly sounded.

The three of them were stunned, and turned to look aside. They saw a small monk with a stern face and said displeasedly:

"I've been here a long time ago!"

I even heard you talking bad about me behind my back!

The three of them all looked astonished, and the gentle woman said in surprise: "You, you are..."

Mo Hua said: "I am Mo Hua!"

The man was slightly startled, "Ink painting?"

The gentle woman smiled bitterly and said: "It's the name of the formation master who took over the mission, but I didn't expect..."

Unexpectedly, he turned out to be such a junior fellow apprentice.

In the early stage of foundation building, his cultivation level was low and he looked childish. It looked like he had just started...

The man asked with a gentle voice:

"Little brother, are you... just starting out?"

Mo Hua nodded.

The man was a little surprised and asked the gentle woman, "Have you changed the rules of your Taixu Sect? Can you accept missions even if you just started?"

The gentle woman said doubtfully: "I haven't heard of the change..."

"Then he..."

All three people looked at Mo Hua.

Mo Hua said: "Mr. Xun asked me to take over the mission."

The ink painting displays "Mr. Xun" again.

But he didn't say that Mr. Xun asked him to take on the introductory tasks of "sweeping the steps, looking at the mountain gate, and drawing formations", and did not let him follow the more dangerous "pursuit of criminal cultivators" Task.

"Mr. Xun?"

The man was a little stunned, but the gentle woman from Taixu Clan was a little surprised.

"It turned out to be Mr. Xun..."

No wonder...

Old Mr.

At least I have a close relationship with Mr. Xun.

It’s hard to ask further about this matter.

but……

The gentle woman was in a dilemma.

Such an older junior brother has low cultivation, weak foundation, and little experience. Even if he knows the point formation method... how can he be taken on such a dangerous mission?

What's more, does he really know how to form...

The gentle woman then asked slowly: "Junior brother, you... know how to form?"

When Mo Hua saw them, he didn't seem to want to "play" with them. He knew that he had to show his skills and gain a chance by himself, so he corrected:

"It's not 'knowing', it's 'being good at'!"

The other three people were stunned.

The older a monk is, the more he dares to say that he is "good" at formations...

Mo Hua said: "If you don't believe me, can you give me a test?"

It's best to test me with a very difficult formation that I haven't learned before.

The man in the golden equatorial robe considered it for a moment and nodded, "Okay, I'll give you a little test."

"Uh-huh."

Mo Hua looked forward to it, but then he was disappointed again.

The man in the golden equatorial robe tested him only on some knowledge of the first-level formations that were extremely simple for Mo Hua. He occasionally touched on the second-level formations, but they only scratched the surface and could not reflect how powerful he was at all. He was also "whoring for free" "There is no new formation.

Mo Hua effortlessly answered the man's question. Seeing that the man didn't speak, he asked again:

"Is there anything more difficult?"

"Or, you can find a very difficult formation to test me?"

The man was stunned for a moment and said helplessly:

"I can only test you on these..."

He majored in sword art, and was not proficient in things like formations. He studied some on weekdays, just to cope with the sect's assessment, and didn't put much thought into it.

But Mo Hua's ability to pass his test at least shows that the foundation of the formation is relatively solid.

And they really need an formation master for this trip.

The man said, "Okay, I'll take you to try it."

Mo Hua was overjoyed, but before he could say anything, he heard the gentle-looking senior sister shake her head and say:

"no!"

Mo Hua was startled.

"It's too dangerous," Senior Sister Wen Wan said to Mo Hua. "Although with our cultivation, it is not difficult to pursue this criminal cultivator, but the cultivation world is unpredictable and there will inevitably be variables. Once something happens, we may not be able to protect ourselves." you."

She slowed down her tone and advised Mo Hua:

"Junior brother, listen to senior sister and go back to the sect to practice hard. When you are older, you can go on these dangerous missions..."

This senior sister is also a good person.

Mo Hua said silently in his heart.

But he must follow the mission!

He has spent more than two hundred meritorious deeds to exchange for the second-grade Water Prison Technique. If he doesn't get some blood back, he will really lose a lot!

This trip is only allowed to succeed, not failed!

Mo Hua thought for a moment, his eyes brightened slightly, and he said:

"If I don't go, won't you lose an formation master?"

"I will find someone else..." the gentle woman said.

"Senior sister, you just said that no one took the mission, I heard it!"

The gentle woman choked.

"Don't worry." Mo Hua said, "I know the concealment technique and can protect myself."

"Hidden..."

The gentle woman thought about it for a while, but still felt uneasy and hesitated in her heart.

At this moment, another man came over from a distance, with an apologetic look on his face, "Sorry, I'm late..."

Then he greeted everyone one by one:

"Senior Brother Feng, Junior Sister Qian, Senior Sister Murong..."

Finally when he saw Mo Hua, he was stunned for a moment and opened his mouth wide, "Mo Hua? Why are you here?"

Mo Hua was also surprised.

Among the five people in this team, there are actually some acquaintances!

This person was none other than the senior brother who brought him into the mountain gate, Shangguan Xu.

At this moment, he didn't care why Shangguan Xu happened to be here, and said quickly: "Brother Xu, take me with you!"

After saying that, he quickly winked at Shangguan Xu, meaning:

Say something nice for me and let them take me to play with them!

Shangguan Xu smiled bitterly, "What...is going on?"

The gentle woman told the story and said in surprise: "Do you know each other?"

Shangguan Xu nodded, "Junior brother Mo, and my Shangguan family... have some connections."

He didn't make it too clear. It's not easy to tell outsiders about Master Yu.

But then, Shangguan Xu had another headache.

It would be a bit dangerous to take Mo Hua, my junior brother, with you. If you don't take him with you, you will have failed your aunt's advice.

In the end he could only say:

"Junior Brother Mo... knows how to act appropriately and is smart. Senior Sister Murong, why don't you take him there..."

The gentle woman frowned and thought deeply. Seeing that it was getting late, she was afraid that she would run out of time if she delayed it any longer. She finally sighed and said:

"Okay, but be careful, Junior Brother Shangguan, take good care of Junior Brother Mo..."

Shangguan Xu nodded.

Mo Hua promised: "Don't worry, my formation is very powerful and I won't hold you back!"

The gentle woman was a little helpless.

Is the formation very powerful?

A young monk in the early stage of foundation building is still just getting started. No matter how powerful he is, how great can he be...

However, this mission does not require too advanced formations.

The gentle woman nodded and said, "Let's go."

Mo Hua nodded repeatedly.

So two senior brothers, two senior sisters, and a small follower of his, set off from Taixu Mountain, via Qingzhou City, to the Cangzhou boundary of the second grade point.

Along the way, Mo Hua made some insinuations and learned the identities of several people.

The senior fellow who is tall and handsome, with a gentle expression, and is wearing a golden-red Taoist robe, is a disciple of Tai Amen, named Ouyang Feng.

The gentle woman wearing Taixu Sect's Taoist robe, named Murong Caiyun, is the senior sister of Taixu Sect.

The woman wearing a gold-pink robe with embroidered flowers is named Hua Qianqian, and she is the senior sister of Baihuamen.

Baihua Sect is one of the twelve sects in the Qianxue Prefecture. The disciples in the sect are all female cultivators, and they all inherit the techniques and Taoism practiced by women.

They are all seven or eight years older than Mo Hua. Although they do not all belong to the same sect, here in Qianxue Prefecture, sect disciples communicate frequently, so they all politely call them "senior brother and senior sister".

As for the Taixu Sect's mission, why would disciples from other sects participate in it.

Mo Hua also asked.

Rewards for wanted criminal cultivators are usually issued by the Dao Tingsi, not only to the Taixu Sect, but also to some nearby sects.

After completing the task, the reward will be distributed to the sect by Daotingsi.

The sect calculates the merits and distributes them to the disciples.

Along the way, Mo Hua secretly looked at several senior brothers and sisters, and found that they all had profound cultivation, their skills must be top-grade, and they were rich in experience. They were obviously veterans of "rewards".

Mo Hua nodded and secretly made up his mind that in this mission, he must let them see his "power".

After seeing how powerful they are, they will take them to "play" with them in the future!

Only then can you follow more tasks and earn more merit!

If you want to "mix" tasks, you must have "connections."

Not only the Taixu Sect, but also the senior brothers and sisters from the other eight sects, the Twelve Flows, and the Hundred Sects in Qianzhou, you should also get to know more.

Even if a large formation is built, it can only be completed with the help of many monks.

This year, things are easier to do if you are popular.

As for the "four major sects"... let's forget about it for now.

I don't think I can reach that high.

…

All sects have the same days of rest, which are two days.

The time was a little tight, so everyone had to travel day and night, and they had to use their physical skills. It took more than ten hours to reach the second-grade Cangzhou boundary.

Diancangzhou boundary is a small state boundary of Qianzhou.

In the center of the state boundary is Diancang Mountain.

The criminal cultivator they want to arrest is also hiding in Diancang Mountain.

Mo Hua asked about it. He didn't know the real name of this criminal cultivator. His wanted nickname was "Vulture". He was in the middle stage of foundation building. He had good body skills and good formation skills.

Vulture has done many evil deeds and has a criminal record in Daotingsi.

He forcibly recruited female disciples, killed people, and also worked as a human trafficker, selling young monks to make "rations" for demon cultivators.

The order given by Daotingsi is:

If you can catch it, catch it. After catching it, throw it into the Taoist Prison, and use the formation to Ling Chi.

If it is difficult to catch, kill him on the spot!

Thank you for the reward from Xiu Xian Together and Zhan Zhan~
