Chapter 264 Hidden Formation

Mo Hua thought about it and felt that it was good to have more identities.

The Jiuzhou of the cultivation world is vast and boundless.

If he encounters any difficulties when he ventures out in the future, having more identities will give him more options.

"Thank you, Uncle Zhang!"

Mo Hua said sincerely.

"Thank the old chief when you have time. Without his approval, you wouldn't have this badge." Zhang Lan said.

"Then thank the chief for me. I will help you next time if you need it."

Now that he can get some benefits, Mo Hua is much more motivated.

Zhang Lan smiled and said, "Okay, I'll go back and tell the chief."

After a while, Jiang Yun served them five or six dishes, including meat and vegetables, and good wine.

Zhang Lan raised his eyebrows, "Not bad, you are quite generous now."

Mo Hua laughed and said, "Eat as much as you want, it's all mine."

More than a thousand spirit stones, it doesn't matter if Mo Hua treats Zhang Lan to a month's meal.

"Okay, I won't be polite then."

After running around for a long time for the affairs of Guang Tou Tuo and Kong Sheng, and sleeping in the open air, Zhang Lan really wanted to reward himself.

While Zhang Lan was eating, Mo Hua also took a small bowl and picked out what he liked.

The two of them ate and talked, and after they had enough food and wine, Zhang Lan went back.

Mo Hua thought about the map for a while, but still had no clue, so he put it aside for the time being.

Let's see if Zhang Lan can get anything out of the one-eyed man.

Mo Hua still put his mind on the art of concealment first.

He really wanted to learn the art of concealment.

The art of concealment can be used for concealment, reconnaissance, self-protection, and ambush.

On the surface, concealment seems to be useless, but if used properly, it is an attack and defense spell.

You can attack when you advance and defend when you retreat.

You can attack when you advance and escape thousands of miles when you retreat.

Even if the concealment technique was discovered, he still had the Water Steps to back him up, so he wouldn't be trapped in a dilemma like Diao Lao San.

Even if he encountered a situation of a melee among cultivators, he could handle it with ease.

Mo Hua still remembered what Master Kui had taught him, "There are thousands of magics, each with its own merits, and the magic of using them lies in one's heart."

The concealment technique really fits what Master Kui said.

It's just that Mo Hua's spiritual roots are not suitable, so he cultivated a half-baked concealment technique.

Mo Hua frowned and thought.

Cultivators have different spiritual roots and abilities, and some have strengths and some have weaknesses.

Since the concealment technique is incomplete, is there any other way to remedy it?

Mo Hua thought for a long time, and the only way he could think of was the formation.

This is also what he is best at.

He took out the "Thousand Formation Atlas" given to him by Mr. Zhuang from his storage bag, flipped through it for a long time, and his eyes were dazzled, but he couldn't find any formation related to concealment.

Mo Hua scratched his head and asked Bai Zisheng first.

"Hidden formation?" Bai Zisheng was a little surprised. He looked around and lowered his voice and said, "Do you want to be a thief?"

Mo Hua rolled his eyes at him and emphasized, "I am a serious cultivator!"

"Then why did you learn this formation?"

"Of course, it is for self-protection." Mo Hua said.

And the Yin people...

Of course, Mo Hua didn't say this reason because it didn't sound serious.

Bai Zisheng was a bit straightforward and didn't doubt him. He nodded and said:

"Indeed, the concealment technique is very suitable for self-protection."

"Do you know the formation diagram of the hidden formation?"

Bai Zisheng shook his head and turned to ask Bai Zixi, "Zixi, do you know?"

Bai Zixi also shook his head, "This is a rare formation. The Bai family's Sutra Pavilion should have it, but I didn't bring it out."

Mo Hua felt a little sorry, so he could only go to disturb Mr. Zhuang.

Then he was a little confused, "Why is the concealment array a rare array? Is it because the concealment technique is rare?"

"Yes." Bai Zixi nodded in a clear voice.

Seeing that Mo Hua was a little confused, Bai Zixi patiently explained to him:

"Special spiritual roots, rare inheritance, this kind of magic is difficult to learn, and the array that can achieve the same effect is also rarer."

Mo Hua understood.

The inheritance of the concealment technique is rare, and the spiritual root requirements are also more stringent. Only a single water spiritual root can learn it.

If other attribute spiritual roots are mixed, it will be like Mo Hua, who has learned half of it, and has a water shape, but cannot be completely invisible.

Therefore, there are few cultivators who can conceal the technique, so the array that can hide is also more precious.

Mo Hua nodded, grateful in his heart, and asked Bai Zixi: "Do you want to eat anything?"

Bai Zixi hesitated, took out a recipe book from the storage bag, turned to the page with the fold, pointed to a dessert called "Flowers and Full Moon" on it and said:

"This."

Mo Hua took a look, it was called "Flowers and Full Moon", a bit like a mooncake with flowers as fillings.

There are osmanthus, peach blossoms, locust flowers, crabapple flowers, etc.

It has a strong floral fragrance, but I don't know if it will taste strange if so many flowers are mixed together.

Mo Hua took the recipe and put it in the storage bag, "Okay, I'll let my mother make it and see."

"Yeah." Bai Zixi's eyes were clear and shining.

Mo Hua was about to go find Mr. Zhuang, but when he turned around, he saw Bai Zisheng looking at him eagerly, and said helplessly:

"What do you want to eat?"

Bai Zisheng blurted out: "Rabbit meat!"

"It's very troublesome."

"Don't worry, just remember to bring me some if you have it." Bai Zisheng said.

"Okay."

Bai Zisheng also thanked him and said: "I will help you fight in the future."

"Okay." Mo Hua nodded, "I will definitely call you when I fight."

But Aunt Xue may not let you fight.

For the children of a serious family, the cultivation work is heavier, and there are more rules and regulations, but they are not free.

For people like Qian Xing and Kong Sheng, although they are free, they are lawless.

Mo Hua sighed in his heart, and then went to see Mr. Zhuang and asked about the hidden formation.

Mr. Zhuang heard this and said, "You still can't learn it now."

Mo Hua asked weakly, "Is it difficult to learn?"

"It is a little difficult to learn." Mr. Zhuang said, and then looked at Mo Hua, "But it is not difficult for you."

After all, you can draw such a difficult complex array in a realistic way...

Mr. Zhuang said silently in his heart.

"Is it because of the divine consciousness?" Mo Hua guessed.

"Yes." Mr. Zhuang nodded.

Mo Hua was surprised and said, "This hidden array, can't it also have ten array patterns..."

"How can it be a formation, there are ten array patterns, and the formation with ten patterns is not so cheap."

Mr. Zhuang laughed, shook his head, and said:

"The hidden array has only nine array patterns, but the array patterns are special, and it consumes more divine consciousness to draw. The divine consciousness required is also more than the general first-grade nine-pattern formation."

"The amount of divine consciousness is more than nine patterns, less than ten patterns."

Mo Hua asked again, "How much more is it?"

More than nine patterns, less than ten patterns

It looks like there is only one pattern difference, but the amount of spiritual consciousness is twice as much.

As Mr. Zhuang said before, nine patterns are for refining qi, and ten patterns are for building foundation. The spiritual consciousness needs to cross the gap from refining qi to building foundation from nine patterns to ten patterns, and there is also a huge gap in spiritual consciousness.

Mr. Zhuang smiled and said, "Didn't I give you nine and a half ways of the reverse spirit array before?"

Mo Hua nodded.

"If you learn that, your spiritual consciousness will be enough to learn the hidden array." Mr. Zhuang said.

"Then the spiritual consciousness required for the hidden array is probably nine and a half ways?"

"Nine and a half ways, still a little short." Mr. Zhuang said very rigorously.

"Disciple understands, thank you sir."

Since there is a goal, it will be simple, and nine and a half ways of spiritual consciousness is not so far away for Mo Hua.

After Mo Hua said goodbye, Mr. Zhuang frowned and pondered, wondering what he was thinking.

In the bamboo room, the figure of the old puppet gradually appeared.

Mr. Zhuang said to Master Kui, "You are right. It is indeed difficult for a person in the Qi Refining Realm to have a foundation-building consciousness."

"Mo Hua's consciousness is growing quite fast, isn't it?" Master Kui said indifferently.

Mr. Zhuang's eyes were deep, "Yes, it is quite fast, but not fast enough."

Master Kui turned to him blankly.

Mr. Zhuang said, "Among all the cultivators I have seen, his consciousness is growing the fastest, but I am afraid it is far from enough to break through the limit of Qi Refining consciousness."

"How long will it take?"

"It's hard to say." Mr. Zhuang shook his head and said, "According to the current progress, it will take at least five years and at most ten years. Moreover, the growth of consciousness will be slower and slower as time goes by. If there is any mistake, it is possible to spend decades to build the foundation."

Master Kui frowned, and there was a moment of silence in the room.

"Is there any way?" Master Kui said.

Mr. Zhuang tapped the armrest of the bamboo chair with his fingertips, his eyes changing, and after a long time he sighed, "Let me think about it."
