MTL - Asking About Longevity-Chapter 571 Na Zi Jie

Chapter 571 Na Zi Jie

 Longdao Mountains…Wupin Qianxue State Boundary…

 “A great place to study…”

 The ink painting was slightly startled.

 There are many sects, geniuses gathered together, and the formation of great achievements, does it mean that it has a complete cultivation background and the inheritance of all types of formations?

Mo Hua has only learned the Five Elements Formation now.

  But in addition to the Five Elements, there are many categories of formations, each with a different system.

 For example, Liangyi, Sancai, Sixiang, Liuhe, Seven Stars, Bagua, etc.

 These formation systems, Mo Hua has only seen a few records in the formation book, and the details are not clear, let alone the real and specific inheritance.

Mo Hua pondered.

 The master should know the formations such as Liangyi, Fourxiangs, Seven Stars and Bagua, but he did not teach himself, only the Five Elements formations.

I guess it’s because the Five Elements Formation is the most basic and most widely used formation.

It will be easier to bite off more than you can chew, learn the Five Elements Formation well, lay a solid foundation, and then learn formations from other systems and learn by analogy.

 But the biggest reason is probably...

Master... knows that he doesn't have much time. He wants to teach many things, but he has no time to teach...

 “Master…”

Mo Hua’s eyes are a little dim.

After a while, he cheered up and continued to look at the map of Qianzhou.

 There are many sects marked on the map.

 In Qianxue Prefecture, the most numerous “monastic sects” are.

The so-called "cultivation" sects are different from industrial sects, hidden sects, and spiritual and business sects.

 The secluded sect lives in seclusion, is isolated from the outside world, and is relatively closed.

 Industry sect and Lingshang sect are sects that mainly focus on profit. Earn spiritual stones and make profits by operating monastic industries or various types of business houses such as alchemy, weapon, and talismans.

 They will also take on apprentices, but this is not their main business.

As for the monastic sect, the purpose of establishing the sect is to teach and teach, and its main business is to "teach monks how to practice and teach monastic methods." The main means of profit is to use the spiritual stones of the disciples to bind them.

 The monastic sect will also have some properties, but not much.

 These things were heard by Mo Hua from others when he was traveling.

Mo Hua also realized that there are still many differences between sects.

 Some preach for a living, while others are just for profit.

The monastic sect…

 “Teaching practice and imparting Dharma…”

Mo Hua couldn't help but think: "Can I go?"

 He thought for a moment and shook his head again.

 The boundary of Qianxue State is the boundary of Wupin State. The fees for the monastic sects inside should be very expensive...

I don’t know if the “windfall” I made is enough to hand over to Shu Xiu.

Even if you can afford to pay Shuxiu, will others accept you?



These sects should be very strict in accepting disciples.

Mo Hua looked through the map again and found that there were only a few words on it, no other annotations, and no more detailed explanations.

 “Can I ask someone?”

Mo Hua frowned and thought about it for a long time. He felt that the most suitable candidate was Chief Zhou.

 Zhang Lan should know better, but he has already gone home.

 Zhou Zhangsi also comes from a family. Although his family is not big, he must have experience and knowledge, otherwise he would not be able to serve as the head of Daoting.

Mo Hua went to Daotingsi again and showed the map to Chief Zhou.

 “Qianxuezhou?”

 Zhou Zhangsi was a little surprised when he heard this.

 “Yeah.” Mo Hua nodded.

 Zhou Zhangsi thought for a moment and said, "Wait a moment..."

He took out a few more books from his storage bag and glanced at them. On the title page, he saw titles such as "History of Cultivation" and "A Survey of Nine Provinces".

“Qianzhou is too big and too far away from here. I can’t remember some things clearly..."

 Zhou Zhangsi flipped through the book and read it carefully, then nodded and said:

"Yes…"

“The border of Qianxue Prefecture is indeed the leading monastic resort in the entire Kyushu, with numerous sects and a prosperous academic style…”

"In the land of Kyushu, most of the talented monks who established their foundation before the age of twenty will go to Qianzhou to study and join the sect by selecting the best. They can not only find famous teachers, but also make friends with the geniuses of each state. At the same time, they can practice Taoism and learn Dharma, and prepare for the future. The path, lay the foundation..."

 “Why do they all go to Qianxue Zhoujie?”

Mo Hua is a little unclear, "Is it because it is the boundary of the fifth level state?"

“That’s not necessarily the case,” Chief Zhou looked at the ink painting and explained patiently: “Although there are nine grades of cultivation, this is an ancient division. Nine is the ultimate number in heaven and earth, and it has entered the immortal grade.”

“After Daoting, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth has become increasingly scarce, and no one has become an immortal for a long time.”

"Not to mention the ninth grade, even the seventh and eighth grades are elusive and out of reach for monks."

"The fifth-grade state boundary is already out of reach for ordinary monks..."

“The reason why Qianxue Prefecture is the number one place to study is not just because it is the fifth grade..."

 Zhou Zhangshang paused and then said:

“Monks practice Taoism and pay attention to ‘wealth, law, couple, land’…”

“Wealth refers to monastic resources, spiritual stones, spiritual objects and other assets;”

“Dharma refers to the methods of cultivating Taoism, including exercises, spells, martial arts, as well as various secret techniques that are not taught to outsiders, as well as methods of cultivating Taoism and all kinds of industries;”

“Companions refer to like-minded Taoist friends who share the same interests and are firm in Taoism. They exchange experiences and learn from each other, reflect each other, and jointly improve their cultivation;”

“The land refers to the famous mountains and rivers, the Taoist heritage...”

“We are a couple with wealth and law, we have both Qianxue and Qianxue, and we have a history of nearly ten thousand years of Taoism. We have many sects, and they are established by preaching Taoism. We have all kinds of inheritances, so it is the largest Taoist state in Kyushu!”

Hearing this, Mo Hua felt sad and fascinated, so he couldn't help but ask:

“Sir, isn’t it very harsh for a sect in Qianxuezhou to accept disciples?”

"This is natural..." Chief Zhou nodded and said, "Before I was twenty years old, I was promoted to foundation building. This is just the foundation..."

“In addition, it also depends on what kind of foundation you are building.”

"The disciples of a large family and sect have polished their realm, accumulated their cultivation, spread their spiritual power to the extreme, and built the foundation at the age of seventeen or eighteen."

“This kind of foundation building is the real foundation building.”

“Generally, small-power monks, greedy for merit and rash, with weak blood and weak spiritual power, build foundations hastily when they are fifteen or sixteen years old. This kind of foundation building will naturally not be counted..."

After speaking, Chief Zhou was startled. He looked at the fifteen-year-old ink painting with meager blood and spiritual energy, and said with a guilty conscience:

 “I’m not talking about you…”

"it's okay no problem."

 Ink paintings are very generous and don’t care about anything.

His physical strength is weak and his spiritual power is low. This is a fact. You can see it at a glance, so there is no need to be taboo.

Furthermore, he has attained the enlightenment of divine consciousness, and what he has built is the foundation of divine consciousness, blood, and spiritual power, so it doesn’t matter.

Seeing that Mo Hua didn’t care, Chief Zhou breathed a sigh of relief and continued:

“This is just foundation building, and other requirements are also very strict..."

“First of all, there is the spiritual root. In the Qianxue Prefecture, all sects will not accept spiritual roots unless they are of the highest quality…”

“Some sects that are powerful, have long-standing inheritance, and are ranked among the top ten will not accept disciples who are not high-grade spiritual disciples…”

Mo Hua opened his mouth and said, "Nothing will be accepted unless it is of the highest quality... Are the requirements so strict..."

Headmaster Zhou nodded, feeling a little helpless, "Spiritual roots are the foundation of a monk. The better the spiritual roots, the higher the grade of the exercises that can be practiced, the deeper the spiritual power that can be practiced, and the easier it will be to break through the realm in the future. The path of cultivation will be , and go further..."

"But having said that, they are all top-grade spiritual roots. There is only a slight difference between top-grade and top-middle grade. The difference is not that big."

“The reason why those sects only accept top-grade students is simply because there are too many talented people and the competition is too fierce.”

 “This threshold is being pulled upward again and again…”

“Thousands of years ago, some middle-grade spiritual beings, as long as they had a strong Taoist heart and had special abilities, would not be unable to join these sects and even serve as teachers or even elders.”

"but now…"

Chief Zhou sighed, "The top-grade Wuhan clan, let alone the casual cultivators, can't even enter the door if their spiritual roots are not good..."

“So monks often say that in this world, once a person is born, his spiritual roots are determined, and his destiny is determined..."

 “This is just the spiritual root…”

 Zhou Zhangsi added, "There are also family background, origin, inheritance, etc."

“If you don’t have a prominent background or a noble family background, it will be even more difficult to get started.”

“Some sects even have to investigate the parents of the initiates, their spiritual roots, their cultivation level, their identities, etc…”

Mo Hua felt it was so outrageous that he couldn't help but sigh, feeling a little disappointed.

 It seems that I can't go to the Ganxue state boundary.

 If nothing else, the entry requirements for entry are severely limited if you have a low- to medium-grade five-element spiritual root.

The ink painting looks a little sad.

 Zhang Si looked at the ink paintings and felt unbearable, so he said:

"There are also some smaller sects whose requirements for spiritual roots are not particularly high, but..."

However, the inheritance must be shallow.

Even if you go to school, you may not be able to learn anything good.

 Zhou Zhangsi sighed slightly.

The foundation of casual cultivation is really weak, and building a foundation is the ceiling.

He still hopes that Mo Hua can join Qianxue Zhoujie, systematically learn some monastic knowledge, increase his knowledge, make up for his own shortcomings, and go further in the future...

 But he also knew that in a place where aristocratic families gathered together and where the most talented people gathered, the sects had profound views.

 Even just crossing the threshold is extremely difficult.

Especially for casual practitioners such as ink painting...

Chancellor Zhou didn’t say much more. He only comforted Mo Hua a few words and said some pleasantries. Apart from that, he really couldn’t help much...

Mo Hua was a little disappointed, but after thinking about it, he didn’t take it too seriously.

 It is certainly good to have the opportunity to study in Qianzhou and learn Taoism from a disciple.

Even if you don’t have this opportunity, it doesn’t matter.

 Don’t force things in this world.

When Mo Hua returned home, he read a book and learned formations for a while. After using up his spiritual consciousness, he felt a little tired, so he spread out the map of the boundaries of Qianxue Prefecture and looked at it.

 After reading it a few times, I put the ink painting away.

Since he didn’t have enough spiritual roots to get started and it was useless to look at it further, Mo Hua put the map into his storage bag.

Then he thought about it and felt that this map of Jiuzhou was quite valuable and might be used in the future, so he took it out of the storage bag and put it back into the Nazi Ring.

 The Nazi ring is not big, but the ink painting hand is small and can only be worn on the left thumb.

This ring was given to him by his master. It was made in recognition of the master's fault by shedding blood. It is simple and unremarkable in style.

 The ink painting can be seen, but others cannot.

This Nazi ring is a hidden storage bag.

 But Mo Hua also felt that this ring could also hide his aura so that others could not see through his true identity.

 It is very similar to the spiritual weapon that "impedes the detection of spiritual consciousness" on the little senior brother and little senior sister.      Besides this, there is no other use.

  But because it was given by the master, I cherish the ink painting very much.

 Ink Hua put the map of Qianzhou into the Nazijie, and then counted the other things in the Nazijie. He was suddenly startled.

 There is an extra jade slip in the Nazi ring.

 This jade slip has no impression at all from the ink painting.

 He had never seen this jade slip before placing something in the Nazi Ring.

“Why is there an extra jade slip?”

Mo Hua was a little confused. He took out the jade slip and saw that the jade slip was dusty and old. It seemed to have been there for many years.

As soon as his consciousness swept away, he saw three large characters engraved on the jade slips:

 “Qian Daozong.”

There is a line of small characters after ˆ:

 “Those who enter the clan with orders must not disobey them.”

  Using the tone of “imperial order”…

  Meaning, as long as you hold this token and go to worship the sect, you cannot refuse?

Mo Hua frowned.

 “Qian Dao Sect…”

This name looks a bit familiar...

Mo Huazhong turned out the map of Qianzhou in Na Zijie and scanned it briefly. He found that there was indeed a sect on the border of Qianxue state, and its name was "Qiandao Sect".

Moreover, surprisingly, it is one of the four major sects in Qianxue Zhoujie!

Mo Hua was shocked.

This is…

 The entry order of Qiandao Sect? !

“How come this jade order is in the Nazi ring? This was left to me by the master?”

The ink painting is a bit lost.

 The Nazijie was given by the master, and only you know it.

 No one else can open it.

If there is something inside, it can only be left behind by Master...

 “The entry order of Qian Dao Sect…”

Mo Hua thought about it and understood the master's intention.

　　Master gave me a token with the name of a sect on it.

If you have a chance and know what sect this is and where it is, you can go and worship the sect by yourself with the token.

  But if you don’t know anything about these, then you have no chance.

 This jade order is the same whether it has it or not.

 “This is...the way out that Master left for himself...”

Mo Hua was startled.

Although I have learned Tianji Calculation, secretly learned Tianji Calculation, and have the Five Elements Formation Flow Diagram, my foundation is weak and my formation method is partial, and I can only understand the Five Elements.

 You need to join the sect to learn more complete knowledge of monasticism.

 To understand the formations of other systems besides the Five Elements.

To pursue a higher realm of monasticism...

 These… Master has thought of them all…

 The corners of the eyes are sour in the ink painting.

 He then opened the map of Qianzhou and found the destination of the imperial order.

 “Wupinqianxuezhou boundary, Qiandao sect...”

Mo Hua understood it very well.

 If you just rely on yourself behind closed doors to practice, comprehend, and improve your cultivation, it will be very slow.

 It is difficult to achieve profound attainments in formation techniques.

 After building the foundation, how to cultivate, how to stabilize the Dao foundation, improve cultivation, break through the golden elixir, and how to become immortal after the golden elixir...

He currently knows nothing about these advanced monastic realms.

 Cultivation is the foundation of a monk.

 If his cultivation level is not enough, he will always be just a foundation-building monk, a first-grade, or at most a second-grade formation master.

 with with with 10,000 pixels can be used to control the world.

 That means I will never be able to save Master...

 I cannot repay the kindness my master has shown me.

 But Mo Hua was a little confused.

 He knew that he would have to leave Tongxian City sooner or later.

 “But, where are the parents...”

Mo Hua frowned and sighed deeply.

What will your parents do if you leave?

 In the next few days, Mo Hua felt a little unhappy.

Liu Ruhua saw the expression in the ink painting. After dinner one day, Liu Ruhua put away the things and asked:

“Hua’er, are you worried about something?”

Mo Hua was startled, hesitated for a moment, and then shook his head.

 “Mom, it’s nothing…”

Liu Ruhua shook his head and looked at the ink painting gently.

 The best way to know a son is like a mother.

 Mo Hua is her child. No matter how smart he is, no matter how good he is at drawing formations, some of his worries cannot be hidden from her mother.

Mo Hua looked at Liu Rushu's watery eyes, hesitated for a moment, and then told the story about Qian Daozong.

 “Qianzhou…”

Liu Ruhua murmured, "Are Zisheng and Zixi also in Qianzhou?"

"Yeah." Mo Hua nodded, "But Qianzhou is very big, and it's far away, so you may not be able to see it."

"Is it…"

Liu Ruhua felt a little regretful. After thinking for a moment, he said firmly: "Then go ahead."

Mo Hua was stunned for a moment, "But, mother..."

Liu Ruhua shook his head, "Parents who love their children have far-reaching plans..."

“You have now established the foundation and are staying in Tongxian City. Although my mother is happy, she also knows that this will be the case in the future.”

“If you were a hundred or two hundred years old, my mother wouldn’t say anything.”

“But you are only fifteen now... you can’t stay here and be trapped for the rest of your life...”

“Although mother is reluctant to part with you, she also doesn’t want to. I see you wasting your talent.”

 “What’s more, there is Mr. Zhuang…”

Liu Ruhua sighed: "Although you didn't explain it clearly, my mother also knows that Mr. Zhuang must have encountered some kind of disaster, and it is very likely that his life or death is uncertain, otherwise you would not have come back alone..."

“Mr. Zhuang, I am very kind to you, no, to our family.”

"returning a Favour many times more."

“I don’t know what Mr. Zhuang’s cultivation level is, but I think it must be quite high. With your current level, you definitely won’t be able to help.”

 “But you must remember this kindness.”

"Even if you can't help now, you must keep it in mind. When your cultivation level is high in the future, you can repay Mr. Zhuang's kindness. Even if you are unable to do anything, you must do your best!"

Liu Rushu’s gentle expression revealed determination.

 “Okay, mother!”

Mo Hua nodded solemnly.

 “But, dad…”

 Ink painting has some concerns.

 “Your father doesn’t have to worry about you anymore…”

Liu Ruhua touched Mo Hua’s head and said gently:

“Your father is a monster hunter and hunts monsters for a living. When you were young, he went to the mountains all year round to fight with monsters, leaving you with scars and earning spiritual stones to raise you.”

 “The burden of this family has been carried by him silently since a long time ago...”

“Although he only cultivates Qi, it’s not your turn to worry.”

“What your father regrets the most is that he cannot give you the best, whether it is skills or formations, he cannot help you.”

“If you are really determined and want to learn from him, he will not say anything, but he will definitely be happy for you in his heart..."

Liu Ruhua looked at the ink painting and smiled slightly:

"Although you have established a foundation, you are only fifteen years old after all, and it is not time for you to worry about your parents."

 “You just do what you want to do.”

 “Don’t worry, just keep moving forward...”

 “But there’s one thing…”

Liu Ruhua warned: "Hua'er, you have to remember that your life is the most precious to your parents."

 “No matter what, live well.”

“Yeah!” Mo Hua was moved and nodded, “Mom, don’t worry, no one can kill me!”

His eyes flashed suddenly, innocence and deceit merged, one eye revealed the secrets of heaven, the other revealed strangeness. In his destiny, the scarlet and terrifying corpse king lurked.

 In the distant Nanyue City, mine repairmen burn incense, wishing to strengthen their bodies and provide karma and protection.

Liu Ruhua was stunned.

He always felt that there was something different about the ink paintings just now, but when he looked closely, it seemed that there was no difference at all.

 Still the same child who is worried about himself.

Liu Ruhua laughed and pinched Mo Hua's fair and tender cheek.

 “Speaking big words again…”

Mo Hua squinted his eyes and smiled happily.

 If both parents agree, he doesn’t have to worry about it.

He has made up his mind, he is going to the fifth level to learn the state boundary, join the sect, cultivate immortality, and learn the formations from all over the world!

 Build the golden elixir and transform into feathers.

 Step by step in the future, we will achieve great success.

 Go and learn formations that others cannot learn, and save masters that others cannot save!

But everything must be prepared for a rainy day.

 Before going to Qianzhou, he should take some time to plan, prepare thoroughly, and make plans...

Don’t worry about some foreshadowing. The plot needs to be written step by step and the clues need to be collected step by step~
