When he heard Mo Shan said that he only needed five spirit stones, Zhou Cheng couldn’t help but open his mouth, and then said sincerely:
“Brother Mo, how can this be done? How about… I’ll give you five more.”
He wanted to give more, but he really didn’t have any spiritual stones.
He quietly went to Tongxian City to inquire about how to draw an iron armor formation. Those formation masters usually asked for fifty spiritual stones. Some new formation masters who were not confident in their own skills would only ask for thirty spiritual stones. This It’s already the lowest.
When he went back last night, he felt anxious for a long time, not knowing how much it would cost Mo Shan. As a result, when he asked today, Mo Shan only wanted five spiritual stones from him, which made him feel very sorry.
Mo Shan patted his shoulder and said, “For the extra spirit stones, go buy some good spirit ink. It’s all for the sake of your children, so don’t refuse.”
Zhou Cheng was grateful and said nothing more.
In the afternoon, he took the time to buy gold, stone and spiritual ink, and together with Teng Jia, personally delivered them to the ink painter. It took Mo Hua less than an hour to finish the iron armor formation, and then gave the vine armor to Mo Shan.
This earned me five spiritual stones and half a bottle of unused gold, stone and spiritual ink.
Mo Hua thinks this business is okay.
“Should I tell others that I am already a formation master, and then ask others to come to me to draw formations?”
Mo Hua thought for a while and shook his head.
He was still young, so doing this was too ostentatious. He still remembered what Mr. Zhuang said, a monk should hide his strength and bide his time. The rafters will rot when they are young, and the pigs will be slaughtered easily when they are fat. There are too many dangerous things in the monastic world, and with Mo Hua’s current cultivation and experience, it is impossible to guard against them.
Moreover, my level of formation skills is far from adequate. There are still many things to learn about formations. I cannot be greedy for temporary gains and lose my original intention of seeking the truth.
This matter is over. The next day, the demon hunter who asked Mo Hua to draw the formation suddenly came to the door, followed by a young man with a simple and honest expression.
“Daping, please thank Uncle Mo and Brother Mo quickly.”
The young man was unequivocal, bowed and said: “Thank you, Uncle Mo, thank you Brother Mo!”
Mo Shan then introduced to Mo Hua: “This is your Uncle Zhou, whose name is one Chinese character. This is his youngest son, named Zhou Daping. That formation was commissioned by your Uncle Zhou Cheng to draw.”
“Hello Uncle Zhou, hello Brother Daping!”
“Okay,” Zhou Cheng said with a smile, “No need to be so polite, just call me Daping.”
Zhou Daping touched his head and said, “Just call me Daping.”
Zhou Cheng handed over a bunch of things, including some wine, food, vegetables, and fruits. These were all fine. The most valuable thing was a bottle of spiritual ink.
Mo Hua only received five spirit stones and drew the formation for him. Zhou Cheng felt sorry at first, but later when he got the rattan armor and took a look, he saw that the formation pattern was rigorous, the handwriting was beautiful, and it shone with a light gold.
Although he doesn’t understand the formation, the brushwork of this formation is very skillful at first glance. He would not be able to draw it without putting in a lot of effort.
Zhou Cheng originally thought that Mo Hua was still young and could barely use the formations he drew. But now he saw that he was not inferior even to those formation masters in Tongxian City who had been painting formations for 20 to 30 years.
Zhou Cheng tried the effect of the rattan armor again, and it was much better than he expected. In a critical situation, it might be able to save his son’s life.
Now he felt even more sorry, so he scraped together some spiritual stones, bought some gifts, and came to thank her in person.
Mo Shan resolutely refused to accept it, “Keep these things for yourself. It’s not easy to earn some spiritual stones.”
But no matter what Mo Shan said, Zhou Cheng was determined to give the things away.
The two of them were in a stalemate like this, and it looked like there was no result until the evening.
Mo Hua could only say: “Dad, Uncle Zhou is kind-hearted, so just accept it. If you need to draw any formations in the future, just come to us.”
Zhou Cheng said happily: “Brother Mo is right, please don’t refuse.”
Later, Zhou Daping went to the mountains to hunt monsters, wearing the vine armor with the formations painted in ink paintings. He was injured several times, but because the vine armor was strong, it was not serious.
After Zhou Cheng learned about it, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he had not wasted so much thought at last. He saved a lot of spiritual stones just to treat the injuries. What’s more, if he really encountered danger, the vine armor would have to be saved. Formation can really save lives.
Rogue cultivators like them live in embarrassment and have worked hard to raise their sons. If they lose their lives because of hunting monsters, they will really cry without tears.
Zhou Cheng has been a demon hunter for so many years, and young monks lose their lives because of demon hunting every year.
Veterans like them will be killed if they are not careful, let alone those who are just starting out? Every time he thought of this, Zhou Cheng felt extremely grateful to Mo Hua, but he was poor and couldn’t afford the spirit stone, so he could only say kind words to express his feelings.
After that, he would praise Mo Hua when he met everyone, saying that although Mo Hua was young, he could draw formations well. After painting the formations on the Tengjia, the Tengjia became invulnerable. His son went into the mountains to hunt monsters and was no longer afraid.
The words are a bit exaggerated and a bit false, but everyone who loves to join in the fun loves to hear it.
Some people don’t believe in the teenage formation master, but of course some do.
Every now and then, someone would invite Mo Shan to have a meal and drink, and then they would make innuendoes and ask his son if he really knew how to draw formations, and if the vine armor painted with formations was really invulnerable.
Mo Shan had no choice but to explain: “It is true that my son can draw formations, but even if he draws formations, the vine armor cannot be invulnerable, it is just tougher than before.”
“Let me tell you, if you are really invulnerable, then how can you do that?”
“I’ve seen that vine armor. It was a lot tougher after drawing the formation, but in the end it was still a bit unsatisfying. It’s okay for use in the middle stage of Qi refining, but it won’t be useful in the later stage of Qi refining. It can’t withstand the late-stage first-level monsters. The beast has one claw.”
“Can it be used in the middle stage of Qi refining?” someone asked.
“It works. The effect is pretty good. At least it can protect the vitals.”
“Then I have to get one for my son. Every time he goes into the mountains, I am always on tenterhooks. I have never been so nervous when I went up the mountains when I was young. Well, I have rough skin and thick flesh. If a monster bites me, I will “I’m not afraid, I’m just afraid that those beasts will bite my son. If one of them is bad, I’ll burn the paper for him before he can die for me…” A big man said with a bitter smile.
“In the end, it’s still in the middle stage of Qi refining, so it’s not very useful…” Some people said disdainfully.
“You don’t have a son, so of course it’s not very useful. I’m different, I have three sons! Mo Shan, after so many years of friendship between us, you still have to ask your son to draw a few pictures for me, just three… No, Sixth pair, I’ll keep a few as spare…”
“By the way, there’s me too.”
“Then I want one too…”
“You don’t have a son, what are you doing here?”
The man was dissatisfied and said: “If I don’t have it now, can’t I have it in the future?”
“Not always.”
“Don’t talk nonsense. If he wants it, he may have a few illegitimate children outside.”
“You bastard, what are you talking about!”
Several people got into a fight when they were drunk.
Mo Shan couldn’t laugh or cry.
Thank you Ze Yuan for the reward~ (End of this chapter)
