MTL - Asking About Longevity-Chapter 599 A big formation?

Chapter 599: Grand Formation?

 After returning to the disciple's residence and closing the door, Mo Hua couldn't wait to use his spiritual consciousness to check his Taixu Order, which gave him permission to practice Taoism.

 In the Taixu Order, it was all white, but densely packed handwriting emerged.

 Some are spiritual courses, sect rules, etc.

 These are already there.

 But now, as if outlined in ink and wash, pastel colors are natural, and there are two more columns of text in the empty space of Taixuling.

 One column is the bounty basket, and the other column is the merit basket.

 The bounty basket records various sect tasks.

 Hand out tasks and reward meritorious deeds.

It is densely packed with text, which not only indicates the purpose of the mission, but also explains the general content of the mission, the location of the mission, whether it is dangerous or not, and the rewarded merit points, etc.

 Also lists the requirements for receiving the bounty.

  For example, the realm of monks, martial arts, Taoism, whether they have expertise in alchemy and painting formations, etc.

The merit basket shows the various rewards that can be exchanged for the sect's meritorious deeds.

 There are exercises, Tao methods, formation diagrams, elixir recipes, weapon refining manuals, etc., which are the secret cultivation inheritance of Taixu Sect.

There are also rare monastic materials such as spiritual weapons, elixirs, heavenly materials and earthly treasures.

In order to make it easier for disciples to check, some swords, spiritual weapons, elixirs, and some natural treasures such as ganoderma, lingzhi, hibiscus, and ginseng are even attached with a small watercolor pattern, which looks intuitive and beautiful. Very thoughtful.

Mo Hua guessed that this meritorious service must have been designed by a female elder in the sect.

 At the same time, he was also confused.

How is this kind of thing in Taixu Order made?

This is somewhat contrary to his common sense of monasticism.

 He had never seen these things before.

This seems to be something that can only be accessed by Foundation Establishment, and it is not an ordinary Foundation Establishment. It must be a big inheritance like Taixu Sect, and only the disciples in the sect will have this kind of "Sect Order"...

 But what exactly is the principle of this kind of sect order?

“Everything in the heaven and earth is the Tao, and all phenomena and myriad avenues are transformed into one, and manifested into formations..."

“So is this some kind of formation?”

Mo Hua thought about it for a long time and shook his head.

 He ​​couldn't figure out what kind of formation logic could be used to construct such a strange but extremely wonderful merit system in a small token.

 Use pen and ink to form words and convey messages.

 Can also be transformed into pictures using pink and ink, with various colors...

  But according to the intuition of ink painting, these should be just appearances.

 This is most likely a type of formation that I have never seen or learned.

  It requires an extremely special array pattern, array pivots and array eyes to form the underlying basic array framework.

Mo Hua frowned and suddenly had a thought.

 “How about…do some calculations?”

 Look at yourself and see if you can figure out anything from the Taixu Order...

 When he first entered school, Mo Hua also took a peek at Taixuling.

 But at that time, his authority was extremely low, his consciousness was cut off by the Taixu Order, and his vision of the formation was still shallow, so he couldn't see anything.

Now he has been following Mr. Xun and learning formations for nearly half a year.

His spiritual consciousness has become stronger, his knowledge of formations has become deeper, and his experience in formations has also broadened.

 At this time, Mr. Xun gave him "authority" again...

Mo Hua's eyes lit up and he immediately sat up straight. His consciousness sank into the Taixu Order, carefully observing the changes in various words and ink in the order.

At the same time, his spiritual thoughts were running very fast, and according to the secret calculation method, he peeked at the true nature under the text and pictures...

 The words of Tai Xu Ling gradually blurred, and the colorful patterns and double images appeared.

 The appearance of Tai Xu Ling has dissipated a little, revealing his looming true nature...

 Vaguely, a clue emerged from the ink painting.

 Ink words and watercolor pictures are indeed representations.

The essence of these words and pictures is formation pattern.

 All the words and pictures are composed of simple, unified, rigid but well-ordered patterns, arranged in order, and combined with changes.

 These formation patterns are uniformly controlled by the formation pivot.

All the formation hubs are neat and tight, and like hundreds of rivers returning to the sea, they fall into one general, majestic formation hub.

This kind of large formation hub is extremely complex and huge.

The outside is covered with layers of profound and dense "coats" of formation patterns, forming an indestructible formation barrier.

 The spiritual consciousness of the ink painting seems small and thin in front of such array pivots.

As the sea of ​​consciousness gradually dries up, calculations have come to this point, and there are more things that cannot be calculated due to the limited consciousness of ink painting...

 But he was also greatly shocked by this.

“Isn’t this... also a big formation?!”

 The great formation constructed by Taixu Order!

All disciples of Taixu Sect, each Taixu Order is a formation "terminal", which is then unified and connected to the Taixu Sect's grand formation pivot imprinted with the "core sequence".

In this way, all Taixu Sect disciples, relying on the Taixu Order, can share "messages" and use their spiritual consciousness to reveal words and pass them on.

 This is another completely different type of formation.

 It is different from the Five Elements Demon Slaying Formation and the Five Elements Mountain Protecting Formation, which are external, powerful and magnificent formations.

This kind of grand formation of Taixu Order builds a magnificent and all-encompassing sea of ​​information and a torrent of spiritual thoughts in a small area.

 This...is also a kind of avenue between heaven and earth?

Mo Hua was eye-opening and shocked, and then he couldn't help but think silently:

Then what if...I learned this kind of grand formation...

　　Deciphered the formation pivot barrier and controlled the "core formation pivot" of the formation...

Yes or no…

 Can you eavesdrop on the messages from all the elders and disciples in Taixu Sect?

 Can you peek into all the core secrets of Taixu Sect?

 Furthermore, does taking control of this great formation also mean...

 Can you tamper with Taixu’s “authority”?

 Give yourself “delegation of power”?

 Even directly modify your own "merit value" manually?

 What kind of sect’s most precious treasures, innate spiritual objects, and spiritual sword techniques can be exchanged for whatever you want?

The value of merit is endless and you can’t spend it all in your lifetime? !

 …

Mo Hua opened his mouth wide.

 Little evil thoughts are popping up like mushrooms after a rain, one after another, constantly popping up...

 Then he shook his head and said solemnly:

"no!"

"I am now a serious disciple of the Taixu Sect, and I have principles. I cannot do such things that harm the interests of the sect and steal the sect's authority!"

 “Greed is a taboo in spiritual practice!”

 It's just that his little heart is still a little ready to move.

Those from Taixu Gate cannot steal, but...

 Ink Painting’s mind is spinning rapidly.

Since Taixu Sect is using this formation system, it means that Qianxue Zhoujie and other sects are probably also using it.

 By extension…

 Even sects that are more powerful, have a longer heritage, and have a deeper foundation are likely to have this large array that combines communication, rewards and punishments, and promotions.

 Even if it’s not a big formation, it’s at least a complex formation.

  There are differences in scale, but the formation type, framework logic, and underlying architecture must be the same.

 I don’t know this formation yet.

But the ready-made Taixu Order is placed in front of him. The better he learns the formations, the stronger his spiritual awareness, and the better he is at calculating the heavenly secrets. Sooner or later, he will be able to calculate this entire formation system...

Mo Hua couldn't help but feel excited, and then thought about it:

“I am a disciple of Taixu Sect, I cannot do bad things to Taixu Sect…”

"But, other sects...I am not their disciple..."

“Some righteous sects don’t do good things either…”

“What’s more, there are still demons and heretics in this world, and evil sects and corpse sects...”

 “If I master this great formation in the future…”

Mo Hua had a smile on his face, like a little fox, and hummed in his heart:

"You sects, it's best not to offend me..."

“Otherwise, if I pick up your sect token in the future, you will ‘enjoy great blessings’...”

 …

Of course, it’s still a little early.

Mo Hua put away his thoughts and started to make down-to-earth plans.

 Eat the meal one bite at a time and walk the road step by step.

Taixu ordered him to study slowly.

 Now we still have to accept the bounties offered by the sect, earn merits, change formations, and enhance spiritual awareness.

 Wait until you have accumulated a lot of merit and your authority has been upgraded, then you can go and see if there is a true secret of Taixu Spiritual Mind Transformation into Sword in the higher level merit list.

as well as…

 A formation that can “reverse life and death”…

The ink painting has a firm gaze.

 After that, Mo Hua started to take on tasks.

He remembered Mr. Xun’s instructions and did not aim too high, so he only accepted “entry” tasks from the beginning.

 The so-called "taking over" tasks is actually a two-way street.

 It requires both an application for ink painting and the approval of others.

 In the Taixu Order, you can use your spiritual consciousness to manifest words.

 There are many tasks on the bounty list, and they are densely packed.

If you want to apply to receive a task, just manifest it with your spiritual consciousness and leave your name under the task.

 This name contains some basic information about the disciples.

 Including realm cultivation level, the skills practiced, the Taoist skills that one is good at, the grade of the formation alchemy talisman, etc.

 It is up to the disciple to decide which messages will be displayed specifically.

The monk who sent the mission will, upon seeing this message, consider the situation carefully and consider whether he agrees to let you take on the mission.

 A contract is reached only when both parties agree.

Mr.

 Look at the mountain gate…

 Others don’t want him, saying he is too young, and his height and appearance are even more “small”. Others will say that Taixumen hires schoolchildren, which has a bad influence...

 Sweep the dojo…

 The ink painting was scanned once.

The deacon of the sect thought that he was too slow to sweep, and seeing his small arms and legs, he couldn't bear to let him sweep, so he simply stopped picking him up after that...

Ink paintings, alchemy, alchemy, and alchemy.

 Other bounties are even more unavailable.

 So in the end, ink painting can only draw formations.

 “If you want to draw a formation, just draw a formation...”

 Originally, I wanted to experience ink painting for other tasks, but I had to put my mind down and draw the formation with peace of mind.

 But he still thought simply.

 The mission of the sect is essentially a "reward".

This kind of reward is issued by the Taixu Sect, other neighboring sects, or the Dao Tingsi, other related forces, and individual monks.

 The reward will be issued only if there is demand.

 You can only draw the formation if others need it.

 You can’t just draw anything yourself. This one is nothing.

 The commonly used Five Elements Formation and Bagua Formation, Mo Hua is extremely proficient in one and is considered proficient in the other.

 In the Taixu Order, most of the second-level first-level ones are at least some of the "bounties" for formations above the first-level level. Mo Hua is capable of doing the job, and is even "more than enough"...

 But he couldn’t catch it at all!

 The monk who offered the reward would not choose him at all!

 Because the formation bounty missions depend on the formation level determined by Dao Ting.

Those who compete with Mo Hua are all "second-grade elementary" and "second-grade intermediate" formation masters...

These formation masters are all senior brothers and sisters who are a few years ahead of him.

As for Mo Hua himself, he had only passed the qualification of a First-Rank Formation Master and held the title of "First-Rank Formation Master", so no one else looked at him at all.

 Even if Mo Hua labeled himself "good at formations", no one would believe him.

 Having only one skill, there is no place to use it.

 Ink painting sighed helplessly.

He can only turn around and pick up some "small orders" for first-level formations...

These small orders are all for first-level formations, and almost no one takes them, because the merit points given are too small, and second-level formation masters look down on them.

 Most of the first-level formation masters are just disciples who have just started, and most of them have not yet opened the authority of Taixu Order.

So there are only a very small number of such orders, and the senior brothers and sisters who are new to the second-level formations can pick them up and use them to practice.

The title of "First-grade Formation Master" designated by the Taoist court in Mo Hua Jing is very "weighty" when used to receive the reward for first-grade formations.

He was not polite, and his consciousness quickly scanned over. He clicked on any bounty with the words "First Grade Formation" and left his name:

 “Ink painting!”

After a while, Taixu Ling trembled slightly, as if there was a reminder.

Mo Hua took a look with his spiritual sense and found that some of the reward applications were indeed accepted, while others that had "no vision" still rejected him.

Mo Hua snorted.

If you ignore me today, you won’t be able to reach me tomorrow!

If it weren't for "Tiger Falls on Pingyang", who would accept the bounties for these first-grade formations?

Then Mo Hua scanned the "reward basket" again and applied for several first-grade formation rewards. After waiting for a while, a few agreed and a few refused.

Mo Hua counted and found that there were six first-grade formation rewards in total.

 He wanted to pick up some more, but when his consciousness moved, he could no longer manifest the words.

Mo Hua thought about it for a while and roughly understood it.

 This is the bounty limit reached.

 A disciple can only receive up to six bounties at a time.

The ink painting is a bit of a pity.

“But six copies are okay, let’s finish the painting first…”

Mo Hua put Taixu Ling into his storage bag, got up and left the disciples' residence. Based on the map of Taixu Sect in his mind, he found the location of the "Pavilion of Merit".

 Taixu Ming’s Merit Pavilion is in charge of the merit system and is used to handle matters related to issuing bounties, receiving bounties, and receiving bounties in a unified manner.

The sect offers a reward and must receive it in the Taixu Order.

 But when it comes to some necessary procedures and receiving rewards, you have to come to the Merit Pavilion in person.

 The same goes for drawing formations.

To make ink paintings, you need to go to the Merit Pavilion to receive pens, ink, paper, and basic formation diagrams.

Of course, only for simple formations or formations with special needs, others will provide formation diagrams.

 For formations that are slightly more difficult or rare, the person who draws the formation will have to figure out how to draw the formation by himself.

 In the Gongxun Pavilion, there are many disciples coming and going, busy.

Mo Hua queued up for a while, and when it was his turn, he ran to the stage, showed the Taixu Order, and said:

 “Elder, I accept the reward for the formation.”

 The meritorious elder is also an old man, with gray hair, but chubby.

 He checked Mo Hua's Taixu Order. Although he looked a little confused, he still took out six storage bags and handed them to Mo Hua.

 In the storage bag is the pen and ink diagram used for the reward.

Mo Hua took the storage bag and turned around to leave.

"etc…"

The meritorious elder stared at the ink painting, but still couldn't hold it back and asked:

"How old are you?"

"fifteen!"

"Fifteen..." The meritorious elder frowned, "Then you must have just started. In less than a year, how can you use Taixu Ling to take over errands?"

Mo Hua put everything on Mr. Xun, "Mr. Xun asked me to do tasks, earn merit, and learn formations!"

 The meritorious elder was startled, "Mr. Xun?"

 It’s weird…

Isn’t that old man always stubborn? Why did you start breaking the rules?

The meritorious elder looked at Mo Hua again. Seeing his small stature and carrying six storage bags on his body, he couldn't help but ask:

“Can you finish the six formations?”

"Yes!" Mo Hua said, "I can draw formations very quickly!"

 How fast is the formation method?

 How fast can you draw with a small size?

The meritorious elder shook his head, asked no more questions, and waved his hand, "Okay, go ahead and paint. Don't be greedy, otherwise you won't be able to complete the task, and your reputation will get worse..."

 “Okay, elder.”

Mo Hua agreed.

The meritorious elder watched Mo Hua leave without paying much attention to it.

 But an hour later, Mo Hua came back and placed six storage bags on the table.

 “Elder, I’ve finished painting.”

 The meritorious elder was stunned.

  Finished the painting?

 He ​​unfolded the storage bag, and it was indeed filled with first-grade formations. Some used paper as medium, and some used formation disks or spiritual weapon embryos as medium.

Each formation is neat and rigorous, conforms to specifications, and is flawless.

 “It’s so fast to draw…”

 The meritorious elder was a little surprised, but after thinking about it, he didn't think it was anything.

  After all, it’s just a first-level formation.

The meritorious elder flashed his consciousness and nodded, "It is indeed completed. Six first-grade formations, with a total of nineteen points of merit, have been added to your Taixu Order."

Mo Hua was overjoyed, his spiritual consciousness entered Taixu, and sure enough he found a small number under his name:

nineteen.

 This means that he has earned nineteen merit points.

"Okay, you..." The meritorious elder wanted to say, "You can go," but unexpectedly Mo Hua said immediately:

 “Elder, please wait...”

Mo Hua sank his consciousness into Taixu Ling. After a moment, he raised his head and handed Taixu Ling to the meritorious elder, "I picked up a few more..."

 The meritorious elder’s eyelids twitched slightly.

This little kid doesn't follow the rules...

 Where can I get a mission like this?

And if you are young and receive so many formations, aren't you afraid that your spiritual consciousness will be overused...

The meritorious elder hesitated for a moment and saw that Mo Hua was in high spirits and did not look tired, so he said nothing and handed several storage bags to Mo Hua's hand.

Mo Hua left happily.

The meritorious elder watched him leave, silently remembering the name on his Taixu Order in his heart.

 …

 In the days that followed, Mo Hua continued to draw formations.

 But for the first-level formation, the merit points are too low, mostly only around three or four points, and it is too slow to accumulate them.

And what he wanted to change was the fifteen-line and sixteen-line formations. Each formation required hundreds of meritorious deeds.

 Fortunately, Mo Hua draws quickly, so the progress was pretty good at first.

But gradually, his plan to accumulate meritorious service was stalled again.

 First, because he still has to take Taoist classes and cannot draw every day.

Even if you paint, it only lasts for an hour at most.

He also needs to practice the fifteen-line Yuze Formation to enhance his spiritual consciousness, so he doesn't have much time.

 Another reason is that in the Taixu Order, there are fewer and fewer rewards for first-grade formations.

Taixu Sect disciples are all above Foundation Establishment, so there is not much demand for first-grade formations.

Mo Hua painted very quickly, five or six at a time, and he received a lot, so soon, he had almost finished collecting the bounties for the first-grade formations.

There are a few scattered ones left, maybe one or two bounties a day.

 Ink painting may not be available yet.

 In total, two or three points of merit are earned a day.

 Like a turtle crawling.

 After saving for a year, you may not be able to exchange for a fifteen-line formation.

Mo Hua sighed, frowned and thought:

“No, this is too slow. We need to find a way to find other tasks to do, accumulate merits quickly, and change formations...”

 “What can we do…”

Mo Hua had no clue for a moment, so he turned his consciousness into Taixu Ling, looked through the "reward basket", and after studying for many days, he finally found a reliable method.

His realm is low and his qualifications are shallow, so he cannot accept the reward.

 But, he can "mix" the bounty!

 Some bounties cannot be completed by one person. After a leading disciple takes it, three or four more disciples will be formed to complete it collaboratively.

 After completion, merit points will be distributed according to contribution.

 There will be some disparity, but not much.

 Mo Hua looked at it and saw that some of the more difficult tasks had hundreds of rewards. If he "sneaked" in, he could at least get dozens of merit points.

 It is equivalent to drawing a first-level formation for a month.

Mo Hua’s eyes lit up and he just started doing it.

 Taixu Ling's bounty basket will be accompanied by some recruitment information.

 It means that someone has accepted the reward and needs to recruit people to complete it together.

Mo Hua searched over and over again for a long time, and his consciousness was numb. Finally, he found a suitable mission for him on a recruitment message, and he could follow the "mess" mission:

“On the ninth day of the fifth lunar month, the second rank will visit the border of Cangzhou to pursue criminal cultivators…”

“This criminal cultivator is proficient in formations and is good at setting up formations, so it is not easy to deal with them.”

“You need to ask a fellow formation master to assist you. A second-level primary level master is better. If you are skilled in formation techniques and have the ability to protect yourself, a first-level formation master is also acceptable..."

“After the deed is accomplished, merit will be distributed according to the contribution, starting from one hundred points…”

 …

 The ink painting looked at it carefully again.

 “Have the ability to protect oneself”, “One grade is acceptable”…

 Isn’t this just talking about yourself?

 And it starts with 100 points of merit!

Mo Hua was so happy that he left his name in the recruitment process:

 “Ink painting.”

 Then he thought about it and added:

 “Be able to hide and have the ability to protect yourself…”

 “Very good at formations!”
