Asking About Longevity Chapter 101

 Chapter 101 Transaction (fourth update)

Elder Yu spent one hundred and fifty years cultivating it to the foundation building stage.

Over these more than a hundred years, he has dealt with all kinds of monks, including many formation masters.

Elder Yu doesn't have a good impression of most of his opponents.

Formation masters who come from families and sects look down on casual cultivators. Some formation masters who come from casual cultivators feel that they are superior to others. In fact, they despise casual cultivators even more than those formation masters who come from families or sects.

However, formation techniques are difficult to learn and formation masters are rare, so formation masters have always been the most arrogant and impeccable.

For the sake of the Foundation Establishment monks, some formation masters are polite on the surface, but once they ask him to draw a formation, they become very angry.

If you negotiate a price, he will feel that you look down on him and ask you if you think his formation is not worth so many spiritual stones. If they don't negotiate the price, how can casual cultivators like them afford such expensive spiritual stones?

 But there are few formation masters in this world, but there are many monks who need formations. Sometimes you have to give them even if they ask for help.

 For this reason, Elder Yu respected his masters on the surface, but he had no good impression of them in his heart.

As soon as Mo Hua frowned, Elder Yu guessed in his mind that the deal probably wouldn't go through. Eight spirit stones were the most he could give, and he couldn't afford any more.

Although he is a monk in the foundation building stage, he is neither attached to the sect nor the family. He has to earn spiritual stones by himself and has to take care of the trivial matters of the demon hunter. He is not much richer than the monks in the Qi Refining stage.

Elder Yu is a little dissatisfied with Mo Hua. Although he is young and appears to be well-behaved, when it comes to spiritual stones, he is probably greedy, similar to other formation masters.

 Sure enough, all the formation masters in the world are all the same, and they are not good things.

"How much do you want?" Elder Yu's tone was a bit unkind. He wanted to see how much Mo Hua wanted.

Mo Hua thought about it in his mind and said, "Three."

Elder Yu snorted coldly.

The room was quiet for a moment. Elder Yu hesitated for a moment and asked in disbelief: "How much?"

 “Three pieces…”

 “Three?!”

 Elder Yu raised his eyebrows, and the ink paintings in his eyes instantly became cute again.

 Suddenly he had doubts in his heart, this kid is probably not stupid, how can he bargain the opposite way?

 “Are you sure you only want three?”

“Well, three spirit stones will do, but I have a small condition.” Mo Hua said.

“Conditions?” Elder Yu was stunned for a moment, “Let's talk about it.”

“I want some spiritual ink, all with the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. I need to use it when practicing formations. It doesn't need to be too much. Just think of it as extra reward.”

"that's it?"

"That's all." Mo Hua nodded.

 “This is easy to handle.” Elder Yu said immediately.

It's just some spiritual ink. Although it costs some spiritual stones, it's nothing compared to the price of a hundred armored formations. Moreover, as a foundation-building monk, he naturally has his own connections, so he can get good spiritual ink without a lot of spiritual stones. This saves a lot of spiritual stones.

Elder Yu looked at the ink painting and suddenly felt that this child was really handsome. The more he looked at it, the more handsome he became.

 He also said that this spiritual ink was used by himself to practice formations?

"Not bad! He is diligent and eager to learn. No wonder he can draw formations so well at such a young age!" Elder Yu secretly praised in his heart.

Elder Yu changed his mind and was worried that Mo Hua would suffer a loss. He said, "You want three spiritual stones. Is this enough?"

"It's okay, three spirit stones are a lot. Besides, we are all casual cultivators, so we should take care of each other. This is what my father often tells me." Mo Hua said in a childish voice. These words touched Elder Yu's heart, and Elder Yu felt warm in his heart.

He was also a casual cultivator, and he finally reached the foundation-building stage. He originally wanted to go to a higher-level state to look for opportunities, and maybe he could take a step further in cultivation.

 Looking back, I can see that those uncles, aunts, friends and brothers who took care of me lived a really hard life. If there is no foundation-building monk to take care of him, he will be oppressed by the monks in his family every day, and his life will be difficult.

 He thought for a long time and decided to stay.

The outside world of cultivation is vast. Even if he goes out, he will only be one of the monks with humble cultivation and slim future. But in Tongxian City, he is a foundation-building monk who is upright and can prevent many people from suffering and protect many people. Being safe can also make most casual cultivators live a slightly better life.

 Now that he can hear such words from a child as young as Mo Hua, Elder Yu is very pleased.

Elder Yu stared at the ink painting, looking left and right. The more he looked at it, the more he liked it.

 Look, how well Mo Shan has taught this son!

Mo Hua was a little uneasy being stared at by Elder Yu, and couldn't help but ask: "Elder Yu, is there something wrong?"

"No, no, that's right! That's right!" Elder Yu said, "Tomorrow I'll have the rattan armor delivered, and I'll also help you find the spiritual ink, which has five elements attributes, right? I'll send it to you when I find it all. You Don't worry, you have helped me a lot this time, and I won't let you suffer. If anything happens in the future, you can also come to me.”

Mo Hua said happily: "Thank you, elder!"

"Little things, small things!" Elder Yu waved his hand, and then said with concern: "Then you should rest first, you are young, don't stay up too late."

 “Yeah.” Mo Hua nodded.

Elder Yu walked out and took a few steps. He seemed to suddenly remember something and stopped again. He hesitated for a while and then came back.

Mo Hua looked strange and asked, "Elder Yu, is there anything else?"

Elder Yu coughed and quietly took out a storage bag, "I...well, I have two grandsons, and I still need to trouble you about their...formation."

 “Are you anxious about this?” Mo Hua asked.

"This... is a bit urgent, but not too urgent. Just draw it when you have time."

Elder Yu's two grandsons and Dahu are from the same group of monster hunters, and they have already started to hunt monsters in the mountains.

 With the common people talking about relatives across generations, Elder Yu was indifferent to his son, but he felt very sorry for his two grandsons. Every time I see them coming back from the mountains with wounds on their bodies, I feel bad.

 He is a monk in the foundation building stage, and he cannot go up the mountain casually.

If monks in the foundation-building stage often go up the mountain, they will be regarded as a provocation by monsters, which will attract a second-level monster. Here in Tongxian City, the second-grade big demon basically has no natural enemies.

There are not many foundation-building monks in Tongxian City. It is even more difficult for the foundation-building monks to join forces to hunt monsters. Even if the foundation-building monks join forces, they will hardly be able to match the second-grade monsters.

And if you miss and let a second-grade monster eat one or two foundation-building monks, it will be a big problem.

Therefore, unless necessary, Elder Yu in the foundation building stage will generally not enter Daheishan. At most, he will wander around the outer mountains. If he wants to enter the inner mountains, he will try not to reveal his cultivation.

Since he couldn't just go into the mountains, he always worried about the safety of his two grandsons, so he painted an iron armor formation on their rattan armor. It was more or less a means of self-defense, and he could feel at ease.

“Okay, I'll help you draw when I have time!” Mo Hua agreed.

Elder Yu nodded, and when he saw the ink painting, he went back to his room, and warned in a gentle voice: "You just need to draw those formations slowly. It doesn't matter if you have more or less. Don't get tired."

 Elder Yu, who had always been stern, now sounded indescribably amiable.
