Chapter 18 Choice

"Forget it, let's do the current things first..."

Mo Hua thought, and then honestly looked through the middle and lower-grade exercises.

"Small Five Elements Art": middle and lower-grade exercises, suitable for the cultivation of five-element spiritual roots, can cultivate spiritual power for seventy cycles, and at least one thousand spiritual stones need to be refined to complete the Qi Refining Period, and natural treasures are required: Hundred-year-old soil, etc.

"Rejuvenation Art": middle and lower-grade exercises, suitable for the cultivation of wood spiritual roots, can cultivate spiritual power for seventy-five cycles, and at least one thousand and one hundred spiritual stones need to be refined to complete the Qi Refining Period, and natural treasures are required: Evergreen Wood or Evergreen Leaves over ten years old, etc.

"Hundred Flames Art": middle and lower-grade exercises, suitable for the cultivation of fire spiritual roots, can cultivate spiritual power for sixty cycles, and at least nine hundred spiritual stones need to be refined to complete the Qi Refining Period, and natural treasures are required: Molten Fire Stone, etc.

...

Middle-grade lower-level exercises, the spiritual stones required for cultivation are not few, but compared with the top-grade exercises, they are much better.

But there are gains and losses. The middle and lower grade skills consume less spiritual stones, and the spiritual power cultivated is also less.

Mo Hua has a middle-grade lower level spiritual root. He practices a middle-grade lower level skill. Under the same realm, his spiritual power is probably only a little more than half of that of a cultivator with a top-grade lower level spiritual root.

This is only the top-grade lower level. The spiritual power cultivated by the upper-grade middle and upper level skills must be more powerful. The further you practice, the greater the difference in spiritual power brought by the difference in spiritual roots.

Moreover, spiritual roots are predestined and cannot be changed.

"Sure enough, some people are born to be blessed by God..."

Mo Hua shook his head, but since the spiritual roots cannot be changed, there is no point in thinking.

Mo Hua turned to the last page of the "List of Skills" and saw the line of small words below, and then he was completely stunned.

"What is the inheritance fee for the skills?"

Mo Hua saw the following annotation:

The skills in Tongxian Sect were painstakingly collected, studied and improved by the masters and elders of all generations. They are the result of the hard work of the predecessors of all generations.

Disciples in the sect need to pay a certain amount of spirit stones to obtain the qualification for inheritance.

The specific inheritance fee is also marked below.

The inheritance fee for the upper-grade lower-level skills is 1,100 spirit stones. Because the upper-grade spirit roots are rare, it only costs 998 spirit stones after the discount.

The inheritance fee for the middle-grade skills is slightly lower, and the lower-grade middle-grade skills are even lower, but they also cost 200 spirit stones.

Mo Hua was dumbfounded.

How can there be an inheritance fee?

He had never heard of it before.

Why does the sect charge so much? This is too black! !

Mo Hua, who only had eight spirit stones on his body, sighed helplessly.

This world of cultivation is too real and realistic...

"After you choose your cultivation method and pay the inheritance fee, the sect will pass it on to you. The cultivation method is of great importance, so it is best to go back and discuss it with your parents and elders before making a decision. Don't be too ambitious, and don't miss the future of cultivation because of short-sightedness."

After saying this, Teacher Yan left. Judging from his expression, he didn't seem to be very happy to do such a thing.

After Master Yan left, the disciples started chatting in groups of three or four. Some were excited, while others were sad. The room suddenly became noisy:

"What is the inheritance fee? I haven't heard of it before..."

"Who knows? If the sect wants it, how can we not pay it..."

"The inheritance fee for "The Mysterious Art of Heaven and Earth" is more than a thousand spirit stones. Tsk tsk..."

"If you really learn it, you will probably have to sell yourself to the sect."

"Thank you, my spirit roots are not worthy of it."

"My parents both have middle-grade spirit roots, why are my spirit roots only low-grade? There is no choice of skills..."

"You go Read "Theory of the Evolution of Cultivator's Spiritual Roots" and you will know why you, who have low-grade spiritual roots, were born to parents with medium-grade spiritual roots..."

"By the way, can we really have high-grade spiritual roots here?"

"Yes, I have a distant cousin with high-grade spiritual roots, but his father is a gambler and his mother is lazy. The family is poor, so he only chose a low-middle-grade technique, wasting a good root bone. It's really too miserable..."

"Then even if I have high-grade spiritual roots, I can't afford to practice."

"You can marry into the family..."

"I won't!"

...

The disciples talked a lot, and Mo Hua also held his chin in thought.

This sect inheritance fee exceeded his expectations.

There are actually techniques for Mo Hua to choose from in the "Arts Catalog", but his parents have just collected his tuition, and they can't take out so many spirit stones in a short time. Even if he borrows from everywhere, it will be a heavy burden on the family.

"In this case, I have no choice but to use the Breathing Technique for now. I will choose a technique from it when I have enough spirit stones by drawing formations. Anyway, I have only entered the third level of Qi Refining, and it will take some time before I can break through to the fourth level."

Mo Hua threw the "Catalogue of Techniques" into the storage bag. He did not plan to take it back to show his parents in the short term. The most urgent thing was to draw formations and earn spirit stones.

Mo Hua's next days were the same as before. He practiced every day, attended classes, and drew formations after class.

The life in the sect was monotonous but also quite comfortable.

The scenery of Tongling Peak is beautiful, with green trees and light clouds, and birds often fly back and forth, and the fragrance of flowers lingers.

The outer disciples often play in the mountains after class. The female disciples are pretty and go to appreciate the flowers together.

The male disciples chase the spirit beasts all over the mountain. There are male and female cultivators who are just beginning to fall in love and whisper in the flowers in the mountain stream, and there are also jealous disciples fighting.

However, these have nothing to do with Mo Hua. Mo Hua is devoted to the formation. Except for eating and attending classes, all his time is spent on studying the formation. Even when he sleeps at night, he practices drawing formation texts on the stone tablet.

Among the familiar fellow disciples, Da Hu is in the fifth level of Qi Refining, Shuang Hu and Xiao Hu have already been in the fourth level of Qi Refining. They are all practicing in Tongxuan Peak. Although the two peaks are not far apart, they know that Mo Hua is studying the formation attentively, and generally they will not disturb Mo Hua if they have nothing to do.

Mo Hua has a well-behaved and smart face, a harmless look, and is kind to others. He is popular in Tongling Peak, and no one would think of bullying him.

Moreover, Mo Hua's formation skills are very good, and he is highly valued by the strict instructor. If someone wants to bully him, once the strict instructor knows, the consequences will be serious. The strict instructor hates disciples making trouble and not concentrating on cultivation. Once the instructor knows, the punishment will be extremely severe.

Moreover, Da Hu and the other two have always taken care of Mo Hua. They are tall and take the path of physical cultivation. In the future, they plan to enter Dahei Mountain and become demon hunters.

On weekdays, they will find ways to fight with others when they have nothing to do. Once Mo Hua has something to do, he would roll up his sleeves and run over from Tongxuan Peak.

Mo Hua practiced without distraction. The only time he had an intersection with other disciples was An Xiaopang.

Mo Hua returned the ten spirit stones he borrowed from An Xiaopang a few years ago to him.

When Mo Hua gave him the spirit stones, An Xiaopang was stunned. He had obviously forgotten it and remembered it after thinking for a long time.

The An family is a big family in Tongxian City. He really doesn't care about these ten spirit stones. Of course, it is also possible that he just has a bad memory.

An Xiaopang frowned and recalled for a long time, and then his expression became a little complicated: "You are the first one who borrowed spirit stones and still wants to return them to me since you grew up."

Mo Hua sighed in his heart, this is the stupid son of the landlord.

Some of the spirit stones he borrowed may be forgotten by himself, and some may be deliberately not returned by others. He really doesn't lack spirit stones, so he got used to it after a long time.

"You are so stupid... kind, be careful to be deceived by others."

Mo Hua said half of the word "stupid", temporarily changed the word, patted An Xiaopang on the shoulder and said euphemistically.

An Xiaopang's expression became more complicated, and even a little touched:

"Little Brother Mo, others say I'm stupid, but you are the only one who knows that I'm kind-hearted. Among all the disciples I've met, you're the smartest. No wonder you draw the formation so well!"

Mo Hua didn't know what to say for a moment.

After more than a month, the sect took a two-day holiday.

Mo Hua left the sect and went to Youyuanzhai on North Street. He handed the Minghuo formation he had drawn to Manager Wang, and then asked:

"Is there a formation that is more difficult than the Minghuo formation that can be exchanged for more spirit stones?"

Manager Wang glanced at Mo Hua, "Did your brother ask you to ask?"

"Yes!" Mo Hua nodded.

"Yes," Manager Wang lowered his head and flipped through the table, then pulled out a formation diagram with several unfamiliar formation texts on it.

"Solid Earth Formation can solidify soil and rocks. Generally, cultivators will use it to strengthen doors and windows when building houses and caves. The soil solidification formation is more difficult than the open fire formation. The reward for each soil solidification formation is two spirit stones."

Two spirit stones... twice as much as the open fire formation.

"Can I see the formation diagram first?"

Manager Wang rolled his eyes at Mo Hua, "What's the use of looking at it? I need your brother to see it."

But although he said so, he still gave the diagram to Mo Hua. These basic formation diagrams are not too scarce, so it doesn't matter if others see them.

Mo Hua looked through the diagram and found that many formation texts were indeed things he had never seen before, and the sect's teachers had never taught them.

"I don't know how long it will take to learn this formation..."

The inheritance fee of the sect's skills is too expensive, and it takes a long time to earn spirit stones by relying on the open fire formation.

Mo Hua wanted to draw a new formation, but he was a little hesitant. If he didn't draw well, he might lose spirit stones. If he couldn't learn it and didn't finish it within the deadline, the Formation Pavilion would deduct all the deposit.

"Forget it, you can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a child!"

Mo Hua made up his mind that even if he didn't learn it within the deadline, all 20 spirit stones would be deducted, and he could earn it back by drawing the Bright Fire Formation.

To become a formation master, the formations he would have to draw in the future might be much more difficult than this. He couldn't just draw a Bright Fire Formation for his whole life.
