Chapter 30 Molten Fire Array Diagram

Mo Hua returned home under the blazing sun, picked up the teapot on the table, gulped down a few big gulps of tea, and then felt the heat dissipated. Then he returned to his room, took out paper and pen to plan.

First, the stove.

The stove is a kind of spiritual weapon.

The spiritual weapons used by monks cover a wide range of types, including swords, spears and sticks for attack, armor and robes for defense, hairpins and jade pendants for magic, and pots, bowls, stoves and other tools needed for daily life.

Mo Hua's understanding of refining tools is limited to some easy-to-understand theoretical knowledge learned in the Tongxianmen "General Knowledge of Refining Tools" course, such as the key points of refining tools, such as refining furnaces, forging iron, and quenching.

But when it comes to actual refining tools, he has no way.

The Tongxianmen refining course also requires disciples to refine tools by hand, but because Mo Hua is weak and can't swing a hammer, he can't even do the entry-level forging iron, so the instructor doesn't force him.

Now, if you want to refine a stove, it is not an ordinary spiritual tool, so you can only ask a special refiner to refine it.

The second is the formation. The molten fire formation contains five formation patterns, which is quite difficult for Mo Hua at present.

The formations that Mo Hua drew before only contained four formation patterns at most.

For the formations in the Qi Refining Period, the effect of the formation is quite different with each additional formation pattern. And the difference of one formation pattern is a threshold for the formation master.

Mo Hua draws formations every day and hones formations through stone tablets, so his spiritual consciousness has also been strengthened a lot. The formation with four formation patterns is easy to draw, but the formation with five patterns is hard to say.

Another difficulty is that this molten fire formation has to be drawn on the stove.

The hearth of the refining furnace is made of fine iron, and the absorption of fine iron to ink is weak. Drawing formations on fine iron is much more difficult than drawing on paper, and the consumption of spiritual power and spiritual consciousness will also increase.

According to Yan Jiaoxi's "Elementary Formation Theory", the carrier of the formation, that is, the medium that carries the formation, is generally called the formation medium by the formation master.

When the formation master draws the formation, the most commonly used medium is paper, followed by iron, wood, earth, stone, etc.

Mo Hua used to draw the formation on paper, but now he draws the formation on the refining furnace. I don't know if there will be any problems.

Mo Hua thought about it, sighed, and decided to do it step by step.

The most urgent thing is to find a way to get the complete formation diagram of the Molten Fire Formation.

The next day, Mo Hua got up and went to find Manager Mo after dinner.

Manager Mo was a little fat and afraid of heat. He lay listlessly on the table, with a fan next to him. The formation was engraved inside and driven by spiritual power, and it kept shaking.

But the weather was so hot, and the wind that was shaken out was also hot.

Mo Hua said, "Manager Mo, I see other businesses have painted ice formations on the wall to cool down, why don't you get one too?"

Manager Mo glared at Mo Hua feebly, "That whole set of formations is so expensive, I'll get one if you give me spirit stones!"

Mo Hua chuckled, then sat at a table nearby, poured himself a cup of tea, and drank it slowly.

In this quiet business, Mo Hua is the most familiar customer, and Manager Mo is not shy, letting him play by himself, and then buried his head back on the table.

After Mo Hua finished his tea, he said, "Manager Mo, do you have a Molten Fire Array diagram?"

Manager Mo raised his head and said unhappily, "This is a business, specializing in array formations. What array diagrams don't we have?"

Mo Hua said in disbelief, "Do you have a second-grade array diagram?"

Manager Mo knocked on the table angrily and said, "Children, don't learn to argue!" Then he asked in confusion, "What do you want the Molten Fire Array diagram for?"

"I saw this array drawn on the stove in the dining hall, and I was curious, so I asked," Mo Hua thought for a while, and then said:

"Manager Mo, do you know what's the point of drawing a Molten Fire Array on the stove?"

Manager Mo said listlessly, "It's just a Molten Fire Array, what's the point? A few years ago, several dining halls wanted to build stoves, and they bought the array from me. I have all the array diagrams designed for their stoves here."

Mo Hua's eyes lit up, "Can you show me a look?"

"No!"

"Just a look!" Mo Hua said.

Manager Mo wanted to continue to refuse, but after hesitating for a moment, he sighed and reluctantly took out a large array diagram from the cabinet behind him and placed it on the table.

"You can only look at it here. Logically speaking, these are all confidential and cannot be shown to anyone casually."

Mo Hua opened the drawing and found that it was a design drawing of a stove. There were also many densely annotated words on the drawing, including the materials used for the stove, the positions of the array patterns that matched it, and even the size of the array, which strokes should be changed, etc.

Mo Hua asked curiously, "Are these formations different from ordinary formations? Do they need to mark the strokes and size of the formation diagrams?"

"Of course," Manager Mo explained, "The formation patterns of the formations are unified, but the specific applications are different. Some standard spiritual tools have the same size and scale, so they can be drawn uniformly, but some specially customized spiritual tools need to be changed and modified according to the shape of the spiritual tools."

"For example, this stove is specially customized for the dining hall and is different from other homes. The molten fire formation inside the stove must naturally be changed according to the size, shape and structure of the stove to adapt to it..."

"I see..." Mo Hua nodded.

Mo Hua looked at the drawing carefully again, trying to remember the key points in his mind for reference.

Manager Mo waited until Mo Hua had finished reading it, then put the drawing away.

Mo Hua asked again: "Manager Mo, can you lend me a copy of the Molten Fire Array diagram?"

Manager Mo expected Mo Hua to say this, so he took out a Molten Fire Array diagram and said: "Normally, this diagram costs ten spirit stones to buy, so I won't take your spirit stones, but remember to return it to me after you're done, and don't damage it."

Mo Hua was surprised and said: "Ten spirit stones, is it so expensive?"

"Of course, you think it's those low-level arrays with only two or three array patterns? Those arrays are everywhere, and you can get the array diagrams easily, but the array diagrams with four or especially five array patterns are relatively rare. The more array patterns they contain, the stronger the array effect, and naturally the more expensive the array diagrams are."

Manager Mo fanned the air with his hand, and then continued: "Some array diagrams with ten array patterns are even the secret teachings of some sects and families. Not to mention that you spent spirit stones to buy them, I can't even show you a look!"

Mo Hua was shocked. It was indeed very difficult to delve into the depths of arrays. If there is no inheritance, even if you want to learn the formation, you have no way to learn it.

Mo Hua took the Molten Fire Formation Diagram and sincerely thanked Manager Mo.

Manager Mo said, "It's just a small matter, why thank you, so polite." But he looked very useful.

Before Mo Hua left, Manager Mo reminded him again:

"You can study it, but don't be too ambitious, and don't be stubborn and focus on it. Once the spiritual consciousness is over-consumed, it will cause damage to the sea of ​​consciousness, which will cause endless troubles for the formation master."

After speaking, Manager Mo paused, coughed, and continued: "Tell this to your brother for me..."

Mo Hua smiled, bowed to Manager Mo, and then left Youyuanzhai.

After leaving Youyuanzhai, Mo Hua went home and wrote down the diagram of the stove.

There was a lot of information on the stove diagram, and Mo Hua didn't remember it all, only the key points, but this was enough.

He didn't need to completely copy the shape of the kitchen stove, and even if he did, he didn't have that many spirit stones to refine it.

Mo Hua wrote down the drawings, and then went out again, and came to a refinery at the end of the street.

The refinery was relatively simple, but quite spacious. There were all kinds of spiritual tools or household utensils on the walls and the ground, including some candlesticks, teapots, pots, hairpins, bracelets, and even swords and armor, which was a bit messy.

There was a sign hanging in front of the refinery, which read "Chen's Refining Shop". The sign was very old and stained with black ash. It had been used for many years.

Mo Hua had heard about this refinery from Da Hu and others. It was said to be the longest-running refinery in the vicinity and the one with the best craftsmanship.

The refiner of Chen's Refining Shop was named Chen, and others called him Master Chen.

Master Chen has no children and has only known ironworking and refining tools all his life. Although he has not become a first-class tool refiner, the spiritual tools he refines have always been well-known. Many demon hunters ask him to refine rattan armor and knives.

When Mo Hua entered the room, Master Chen was swinging a sledgehammer with a few disciples.
