Chapter 529 Competition

 Ink painting followed Mr. Zhuang into the Tibetan Formation Pavilion.

 Then I saw the huge Tibetan Formation Pavilion, which was magnificent and full of monks.

There are three old men in the hall. They have gray hair and profound cultivation. They exude spiritual power and have a strong sense of oppression.

 Golden elixir!

Mo Hua was a little nervous when he saw Jin Dan for the first time.

However, he also thought that he was Mr. Zhuang's disciple and could not weaken his master's momentum, so he imitated Mr. Zhuang, raised his head and acted arrogantly.

Bai Zisheng and Bai Zixi looked calm.

The Bai family is a giant, and a few golden elixirs are not enough to impress them.

The great elder raised his hand to signal everyone to be silent, then stood up and saluted from afar: "Mr. Zhuang."

Mr. Zhuang nodded slightly.

The great elder said: "Please!"

Mr. Zhuang sat in the high hall on the other side, facing the three golden elixir monks from a distance.

The three people painted in Mo stood respectfully behind Mr. Zhuang.

After sitting down, the great elder got straight to the point:

 “Mr. Zhuang, can the meeting on Taoism begin?”

Mr. Zhuang said calmly: "Okay."

　　"It's not a small show..." The great elder was displeased, but he didn't show it. Instead, he looked solemnly, faced the disciples, and said loudly:

 “My Five Elements Sect is established through formations.”

“It’s a blessing to have distinguished guests come from afar to sit down and discuss things and exchange formations...”

“Since we use formations to discuss Tao and communicate with each other, we have our own rules and regulations according to the ancestral teachings.”

“One compares the theory of formations, the second compares the formations, and the third compares the science of formations. Those who understand the formations are all-encompassing, and those who understand the formations have a universe. The formation patterns, formation hubs, and formation eyes complement each other, and formation science..."

 This set of opening remarks was made by the great elder in a boring and lengthy manner.

Mr. Zhuang was a little tired and said directly: "No need."

 The great elder paused for a moment, and the other monks also looked surprised.

 “It’s too troublesome,” Mr. Zhuang shook his head, “Make it simple…”

His eyes were slightly focused, he looked around, and his tone was calm and stern:

“All the Qi Refining disciples present, everyone, whether they are from the Five Elements Sect or not, please come directly...”

"No matter what the competition is, as long as anything can beat me as a disciple, we will not learn the Five Elements Spirit Formation."

Zangzhen Pavilion was completely silent.

 The whole hall was in an uproar.

Arrogant!

 It’s really too arrogant!

 The great elder’s face turned red.

 The heads of Chu and the ancestors of the Shen family on the side also had cold eyes.

 All the formation masters under you are filled with righteous indignation.

This is not taking the Five Elements Sect...no, the formation masters in the entire Dali Mountain State realm into consideration at all!

The ink painting behind Mr. Zhuang couldn’t help but open his mouth.

 Is this what Master is like...

 So crazy...

He and Mr. Zhuang get along day and night, and he thinks that Mr. Zhuang has always been gentle, personable, affable and approachable...

On the contrary, it was Bai Zisheng and Bai Zixi, which was not surprising at all.

"good!"

 The great elder was angry and gritted his teeth.

 This is your own death!

 Don’t blame us for bullying others!

Hundreds of disciples and geniuses were present, gathering almost all the formation geniuses from all the families and sects in the Dali Mountain prefecture.

 You are just three disciples, but you want to win so many people?

Wishful thinking!

 “Who comes first?” the great elder said coldly.

 A disciple wearing a blue robe stood up and said, "I am not very talented, but I am willing to discuss formations with our distinguished guest."

 This was originally arranged before.

This disciple has the strength of nearly a first-grade formation master, and can also be ranked among the top five formation masters from the descendants of the Five Elements Sect.

 The elder nodded slightly and looked at Mr. Zhuang.

Mr. Zhuang smiled slightly and patted Mo Hua on the shoulder.

The ink paintings came out more and more, and the voice was clear and clear:

 “Let me compare!”

Although it was expected, the great elder still asked: "Where are your senior brothers and sisters? Are they not competing?"

 In front of the great monk Jin Dan, Mo Hua was still a little nervous.

 "Can't lose Master's face..."

 "Can't lose Master's face..."

Mo Hua recited it silently twice in his mind, and then followed Mr. Zhuang’s example, holding his head high and pretending to be “arrogant” and said:

“You are not worthy to compare with my senior brothers and sisters!”

 “Get through my level first and then talk about it!”

 A little kid, with such a big mouth!

 The disciples of all sects and ethnic groups below him became even more angry.

 The three golden elixir monks looked calm on the contrary.

Mo Hua spoke arrogantly, but he was obviously a little nervous and lacked confidence.

After all, he was young and inexperienced, so he showed a bit of timidity in front of these old foxes.

 The three Jindan ancestors therefore looked down upon the ink painting.

 The great elder looked at Mr. Zhuang and asked:

 “Mr. Zhuang, what are you comparing to?”

Mr. Zhuang said lightly, "It's casual."

The great elder snorted in his heart, "Okay! Then follow the rules of the Five Elements Sect!"

 “Compare the first-level formations first!”

 Forget about the troublesome things about formation management, just start drawing formations and see the real results in writing. First, use a first-grade formation to test the water and see how powerful this little formation master is.

 “The first-level heavy water formation, the time limit is one hour, and we will compete with who can draw it better.”

After the elder finished speaking, he looked at the ink painting and asked, "Little brother, what do you think?"

Mo Hua hesitated for a moment.

 Heavy water array?

 What kind of formation is this?

 It seems that I have never learned...

But as long as it’s a first-level formation, it shouldn’t be a big problem...

Mo Hua nodded, "Okay."

 The great elder nodded slightly.

 Although it is testing the waters, it is also very particular.

This heavy water formation is a first-grade formation treasured by the Five Elements Sect. Its functions are infrequent and not widely spread. Not many people learn it, and it is also relatively difficult to learn.

 Except for disciples of the Five Elements Sect, other formation masters basically don’t know how to do it.

 He was specially selected as a question for the examination.

Mr. Zhuang, this young apprentice, if he has learned it before, there is nothing he can do about it. It can only mean that his experience in formations is indeed extensive.

 We use formations to discuss winning or losing.

 But if he doesn’t know how to do it, he will definitely lose.

 One hour is simply not enough time to study and draw.

 The great elder snorted coldly.

 Originally, when I tested this formation, it was considered "win without using force".

 But now that Mr. Zhuang is so arrogant and making big claims, it is not unfair for him to follow the steps and use such unconventional test questions.

Mo Hua and the blue-robed disciple of the Five Elements Sect came to the venue and sat down at a table. They were separated by several feet and were covered by formations, so their eyes could not see clearly and their spiritual consciousness could not peep.

Of course, there is nothing fishy to do in front of the three golden elixirs and the dozen or so foundation builders present.

 After a while, someone distributed the formation map.

Mo Hua took a look at the formation chart and frowned.

 Heavy water array…

 He really hasn’t learned anything yet.

The formation patterns are a bit unfamiliar, the formation pivots are relatively simple, and the spiritual consciousness requirement is a little higher, with more than nine lines and less than ten lines.

 The overall difficulty is actually similar to that of the first-grade molten formation.

Mo Hua evaluated it for a while, and then he made up his mind and felt a little happy.

I didn’t expect that I could learn new formations by comparing formations...

 Earned it!

Mo Hua then began to concentrate, staring at the heavy water formation diagram. While looking at the formation hub, he memorized the formation patterns, and at the same time calculated the trajectory of spiritual power in his mind.

 On the other side, the blue-robed disciple has already begun to write.

The Heavy Water Formation is a treasured formation of the Five Elements Sect. He has learned it a long time ago. In the past few days, under the guidance of the great elder, he has practiced it many times and has become familiar with it.

 Before the exam, the examiner leaked the test questions and asked him to write down the answers silently more than ten times.

 So at this time, he was able to draw the heavy water formation with ease.

Mo Hua is looking at the formation diagram, and the blue-robed disciple is drawing the formation.

 The Great Elder saw clearly from above and nodded slightly.

He can now confirm that this little formation master has never learned the heavy water formation!

good!

 The great elder was overjoyed.

　　Getting started quickly and quickly.

 They should have won this first game.

This small formation master lost, and then it was his senior brother and sister's turn.

He would like to see what the formation level of Mr. Zhuang's pair of disciples is like?

 …

 Time passes bit by bit...

 Half an hour later.

 The disciple in blue robe has already finished most of the drawings.

 And the ink painting has finally finished reading the Heavy Water Formation.

 After reading it, I started writing.

As soon as the ink painting moved, the great elder noticed it and thought slightly:

“You know you don’t have enough time, so you have to bite the bullet and draw?”

 The great elder understood clearly.

Back then, when he participated in the formation master's finalization, he did the same thing when he encountered a formation that he didn't know how to do.

 The time is coming, you can’t hand in a blank paper.

 Draw as much as you can. Maybe we can still get a few formation patterns right...

 The great elder, who has been here before, said he understood very well.

 Just as he looked at it, he was slightly surprised:

“This little formation master…if nothing else, at least judging from the way he uses the brush and the momentum of the formation, he looks like the real deal…”

 Another half an hour passed.

The blue-robed disciple had already put away his pen. He checked it carefully again and nodded with satisfaction.

 The formation is complete and the formation patterns are smooth.

 Everything that should be needed is available.

Although there are some flaws, they are only minor flaws in the white jade and have little impact.

 This is already an extraordinary performance, and it has lived up to the great elder’s expectations!

 The disciples in blue robes are very proud.

On the other side, the ink painting was also finished. After checking it, he shook his head slightly.

 The first time I painted, my brushwork was not proficient enough, so I could only paint it strictly according to the diagram. It was more than rigorous, but it lacked charm and taste.

  But it’s okay.

 Hand it in and take a look.

 The two of them sealed the formation and then handed it in.

 These two formations were placed in front of the three great elders.

 The great elder glanced at Mr. Zhuang.

Mr. Zhuang said: "Just take a look."

The great elder nodded and first looked at the formation handed over by his disciples.

With just one look, he felt relieved.

 Well done!

 Even better than before when I was teaching by myself.

　　It is indeed a lot of hard work.

Then he couldn't wait to dismantle the ink-painting formation.

 After just one glance, he frowned.

 What about the formation?

 Why is there only a formation diagram?

 He turned down the page again and was stunned again.

 Two identical array diagrams?

After carefully distinguishing it, the great elder discovered that the ink on one of the pictures was new and the ink used was different. However, the brushwork was too neat and the formation patterns were exactly the same. It looked like it was carved from the same mold. At first glance, it looked like The two array diagrams are the same.

 The great elder trembled in his heart.

The formation drawn by this little formation master is exactly the same as this formation sample?

Cheating?

 How could he cheat in front of his three golden elixir monks?

The Great Elder took another careful look, and after careful confirmation, he had to admit that this neat and rigorous formation pattern was indeed drawn by the young monk...

 The elder took a deep breath and looked at Mo Hua with a more solemn look.

To be able to draw to this point, this formation must have been practiced countless times.

To be able to practice an unpopular formation to such a proficient level...

 As expected of Mr. Zhuang's disciple, he has something.

 Then he thought of what happened before and felt unhappy.

“This kid, he was staring at the formation map for a long time and pretending not to know how to do it. So he was playing me?”

 “Teasing me?”

 What a bad character!

Although he is talented, he has no virtue!

 The Great Elder commented in his heart.

 The head of Chu and the ancestors of the Shen family were also secretly surprised when they saw Mo Hua's formation.

“Although it is more neat and tidy, it lacks charm and has a little more craftsmanship, but at such a young age, it is already very good to be able to draw things in a precise and orderly manner.”

 At least he can draw better than the disciples of Five Elements Sect.

The Great Elder compared the heavy water formation drawn by the blue-robed disciple before and sighed slightly.

Although their disciples are good at painting, they can only draw.

 There are also many flaws in the writing style.

 It’s better if you don’t compare them.

  Comparison will not work.

 About formations, good is good, bad is bad.

 In front of so many formation masters, especially in front of Mr. Zhuang, the Great Elder could only admit defeat:

 “This situation…”

The great elder paused and thought for a long time before he remembered the name of this little formation master.

 It seems that this name is easily ignored and difficult to remember.

 “…ink painting is slightly better.”

Mo Hua looked happy.

The blue-robed disciple's face was ashen and defeated, and he couldn't figure out how and where he lost.

 After drawing the formation in ink, my body was warmed up and I was no longer nervous.

　　Victory in the first battle, gained face for the master.

Moreover, I also learned a new formation—the Heavy Water Formation, which I learned for free from the Five Elements Sect.

Mo Hua was very satisfied and looked forward to the next competition.

Golden brilliant, in the collection of monks.

Mo Hua lay on the high table, shook his calves, and asked with bright eyes:

  “What else?”

The elder's brows twitched, and he felt a slight sense of oppression from the innocent and smart Mo Hua.

His eyes were slightly focused, he thought for a moment, and said in a deep voice:

 “Speeder than a pen!”

Mo Hua was startled for a moment, then he understood.

 It means comparing who can draw faster.

 The formation master’s writing speed is also very particular.

 The faster the formations are drawn, the more formations are drawn, the construction of large-scale monastic projects, monastic production, Taoist army conquests, monks fighting...

  Anywhere where the application of formations is involved.

 The faster the formation is drawn, the more advantage it will have.

Especially when there is a duel between formation masters, other people’s formations have been laid out, but you are still drawing the formation patterns. The unfinished formations will have to be painted again in the next life...

 But in terms of pen speed, it is also the strong point of ink painting.

 Tianyan Jue enhances the control of spiritual consciousness.

 At the beginning in Tongxian City, he built the weapon refining workshop and the alchemy workshop, and later built the Five Elements Demon Slaying Formation. With so many formations, he could use them as ten people.

 Not to mention that he has already understood the Spiritual Pivot Formation now.

"bring it on!"

Mo Hua said in anticipation.

 He wanted to know if the Five Elements Sect would let him learn any formations in vain.

The great elder frowned, feeling a little bad, but he could only grit his teeth and wave his hand.

 In the crowd, a golden-robed disciple walked out and sat opposite the ink painting.

 Slender, tall, with raised eyebrows, he looks a little arrogant.

 Array diagrams were also distributed.

Mo Hua took a look and felt a little disappointed.

  It is a sharp golden formation.

 He has learned this formation.

 It’s not like I got a new formation in vain…

The ink painting is a bit regretful.

 Since you have learned it, let’s not waste time and solve it quickly...

 After the great elder said "start", Mo Hua and the golden-robed disciple began to write together.

 The golden-robed disciple painted very quickly.

His spiritual roots are special and are compatible with the spiritual power of gold, so he can draw all gold-based formations with ease, twice as fast as others.

 In the entire Five Elements Sect, there is no disciple who can draw gold-type formations faster than him.

 For this reason, he was appreciated by the great elder.

 The golden-robed disciples are full of confidence and write vigorously...

 But before he could draw a few formations, he heard a clear, childish voice saying:

 “I’ve finished the painting!”

The golden-robed disciple shook his hand and pressed down with one stroke, smearing a large piece of golden ink on the paper.

 But he couldn't care about that.

He turned his neck stiffly and saw Mo Hua sitting on the chair, swaying slightly, waiting to hand in the paper with excitement on his face.

 The golden-robed disciple was a little unbelievable.

　How long has it been?

 Is the painting finished?

And when the formation that was drawn in ink was placed in front of him, the great elder's expression became even more solemn.

 It is exactly the same, it is indeed the Ruijin Formation.

 The great elder was stunned and lost his mind.

Even the head of Chu and the ancestor of the Shen family who were standing aside did not come back to their senses.

too fast.

They only saw the ink painting taking a brush, dipping it in ink, writing, and then brushing and brushing, as if it was a joke, and they finished painting the Ruijin Formation in just a few strokes...

 This is a first-grade formation.

 A first-level formation master can draw a first-level formation so quickly?

Is this really the level that a first-grade formation master can achieve?

 The three Jindan ancestors were silent for a long time, unable to say a word.

Mo Hua got a little bored waiting, so he asked:

  “What else?”

 Finish the competition early and help the master regain the position, and you can learn the ultimate formation of the first grade and thirteen lines.

 What else?

 The sound of ink painting is crisp and clear, with a hint of calmness.

At this time, not only the elder, but also the head of Chu and the ancestors of the Shen family vaguely felt the pressure coming from the little qi-refining monk in the field...
