Mo Hua chatted with An Xiaopang for a while, then Zhang Lan found him and said he was leaving, and asked Mo Hua if he wanted to leave.
Mo Hua said goodbye to An Xiaopang. An Xiaopang was a little reluctant to leave, so Mo Hua asked him to think more about what he wanted to do.
In the end, people can only rely on themselves.
Fatty An nodded solemnly.
Mo Hua and others left the An family, but Zhang Lan and Situ Fang did not go back. Instead, they followed Mo Hua to Mo Hua’s restaurant. They also spent spirit stones to buy a lot of wine and meat, saying they would take them back to eat.
Their behavior makes Mo Hua very puzzling.
Hua Lingshi invited Mo Hua to eat the spiritual meal, but he refused to eat it, and then went to Mo Hua’s house to buy meat from Hua Lingshi! Mo Hua doesn’t know what to say.
But they have many spiritual stones, so let them go.
Zhang Lan didn’t like to eat spiritual meals. Situ Fang had tasted the beef from Mohuadai in the mountains before, so he never forgot it.
The two of them each bought a few kilograms of demon meat and said goodbye to Mo Hua.
Mo Hua remembered that he still had the Lingshan Lingshan Lingshan in his storage bag.
Chicken, duck, fish, and a lot more.
Mo Hua taught Lingshan to his mother.
Liu Ruhua distributed some to Aunt Meng, Aunt Jiang and other neighbors, then kept some for herself, and made it again in the evening to let Mo Hua taste it.
Mo Hua ate it and nodded, then he felt it tasted right.
In the next few days, Mo Hua practiced painting formations as usual.
One morning, while Mo Hua was meditating, he felt his meridians tremble in a trance.
Mo Hua immediately took out more spirit stones and absorbed them quietly for cultivation.
I don’t know how long it took, but my cultivation level reached a breakthrough.
The mood of the ink painting is complicated and difficult to describe.
If you think hard about a breakthrough, you may not be able to achieve a breakthrough. If you practice without distraction, you will achieve a breakthrough.
Sure enough, cultivating Taoism is something that happens over time and comes naturally.
But I finally reached the sixth level of Qi refining! Mo Hua’s spirit perked up.
He felt that the intensity of his spiritual consciousness had taken a step further, and the shackles that had vaguely restricted the growth of his spiritual consciousness were unknowingly released.
Mo Hua opened the bed and saw a row of storage bags beside the bed. The storage bags were all filled with jade bottles, and the jade bottles were filled with demon blood!
Densely packed, more than a thousand bottles! Mo Hua wants to use these more than a thousand bottles of demon blood to understand the nine formation patterns and cross the threshold to become a first-level formation master!
Mo Hua opened the “Illustration of Thousand Formations” and found a formation.
First-grade golden armor array!
This is what Mo Hua needs to learn, the first formation contains nine formation patterns.
I have long memorized the ink painting of formation pattern, but I just didn’t have enough spiritual consciousness before to draw it.
Now that Mo Hua has become a monk at the sixth level of Qi Refining, his spiritual consciousness has been greatly enhanced, and he can try to draw the nine lines formation.
The ink painting was done calmly, the paper was spread out, the spiritual ink was mixed, the pen was dipped in the ink, and the formal painting of the First Grade Golden Armor Formation began.
The first eight formation patterns were painted by the ink painting with ease and without any hindrance. However, before the ninth formation pattern was painted a few times, the ink painting felt that the spiritual consciousness was not enough.
“No way……”
Mo Hua was dumbfounded. When his consciousness was almost exhausted, he could only draw eight and a half formation patterns.
“Why is there such a big difference?”
Mo Hua put down his pen, held his chin, and began to think.
Logically speaking, as his realm improves, his spiritual consciousness will also be greatly enhanced accordingly. Why can his spiritual consciousness still only draw half an additional formation pattern now?
He originally thought that even if he couldn’t directly draw the formation of the nine formations, he could still draw a rough outline. If he had time to practice it a few more times, he would be almost there.
Now it seems that it is not that simple.
Mo Hua frowned, then meditated, using meditation to restore his consciousness. He then tried several times, but the results were not satisfactory.
In the afternoon he went to Zhuju to find Mr. Zhuang.
Mr. Zhuang gave the ink painting a complicated look and asked, “How many formations did you draw?”
“Nine paths.”
“Sixth floor…”
Mo Hua didn’t understand why Mr. Zhuang asked this.
Mr. Zhuang sighed inwardly and said: “How can the breakthrough from the fifth to the sixth level of Qi refining make up for the gap in spiritual consciousness between the eight and nine formations?”
“Isn’t it all just one level away?”
“There is only one level left from the ninth level of Qi refining to the foundation building level.”
Mo Hua smiled faintly.
Mr. Zhuang said patiently: “In each great realm, the closer you get to the end, the slower your cultivation and spiritual awareness will improve, and the wider the gap between realms will be.”
“So the gap between the eight formation patterns and the nine formation patterns is bigger than before?” Mo Hua asked.
Mr. Zhuang nodded and said: “Generally speaking, nine formation patterns are already the limit of a first-grade formation master.”
“The cohesion of the nine array patterns requires extremely high requirements on your brushwork in drawing the array, your memory of the array diagram, your understanding of the array hub, and the strength and control of your spiritual consciousness…”
“The eight to nine formation patterns seem to be just the last step, but there is a huge gap. Some formation masters have been wandering here for a lifetime and are only one step away from reaching the top level. However, this step may not be taken in a lifetime.”
Mr. Zhuang was quite emotional.
Mo Hua was a little nervous. He wouldn’t have to cross this threshold for the rest of his life.
Mr. Zhuang saw through Mo Hua’s thoughts and nodded his forehead, “How talented are you? Why are you so anxious? Go back in peace and mind. Just paint more and practice more.”
Mr. Zhuang said this, and Mo Hua felt at ease.
It’s better to just keep drawing formations. Sometimes the stupidest way is the best way.
Mo Hua nodded.
After Mo Hua said goodbye, the breeze floated in the bamboo room, and the puppet master appeared behind Mr. Zhuang and asked curiously:
“How long will it take for him to reach this threshold?”
Mr. Zhuang said: “As little as three or four days, as much as half a month.”
The old man was silent, and finally couldn’t help but said: “You call this the threshold?”
Ten days and a half is enough. This is not a threshold, not even a stumbling block…
Mr. Zhuang said calmly: “The breakthrough in realm has released the shackles on his spiritual consciousness, and the limit of the growth of his spiritual consciousness has been relaxed. Now his spiritual consciousness is not enough. After about ten days, he will practice the formation and his spiritual consciousness will be enhanced. , these nine formations are not difficult.”
The old man was speechless.
Mr. Zhuang raised his eyebrows, “Nine formations are indeed a threshold for other monks, but Mo Hua, a kid who has practiced too many formations, this threshold is actually nothing to him.”
The old man said displeased: “Then you were talking so much nonsense just now?”
Mr. Zhuang’s expression became playful, and he smiled slightly and said:
“I just teased him and told him not to be proud.”
After Mo Hua returned home, he conscientiously followed Mr. Zhuang’s instructions, calmed down and practiced the formation with peace of mind.
After practicing for a while, I really feel that my spiritual consciousness has become stronger, and I can draw a few more strokes on the golden armor formation.
The ink painting was refreshed and inspired to continue painting.
In this way, your spiritual consciousness will be stronger every day, and your formation pattern will be drawn a little more every day.
Ten days later, the ink painting came naturally, and the Golden Armor Formation was drawn, and it felt like it was done naturally.
But Mo Hua frowned.
It seems not as difficult as Mr. Zhuang said.
Isn’t it said that there is a threshold between the eight formation patterns and the nine formation patterns? Where is the threshold?
Mo Hua recalled it carefully, but still couldn’t remember where the threshold was.
“What’s going on?”
Mo Hua was a little confused and frowned even more.
What’s the agreed threshold…
