Asking About Longevity Chapter 371

Chapter 371 Cangyun Sect

A few days later, Mo Hua followed Dao Tingsi's carriage to Cangyun Sect in Qingshan City.

Since he was just participating in the assessment, there were not many people accompanying him. There were only a few executives from the Daoting Division and his father Mo Shan.

The carriage is exclusively used by the Tao Ting Si, and the horses pulling the carriage are spiritual beasts raised by monks. They have ordinary blood and are not considered expensive.

The car was hung with the flag of Daotingsi, and it was on the main road, so no one would dare to provoke him.

This is considered the first time Mo Hua has traveled far away.

 He sat in the carriage, opened the curtains, stuck out his little head, and looked at the scenery along the way.

When he encounters novel and unseen scenery or looks at unfamiliar monks with strange shapes, he turns around and asks his father Mo Shan:

 “Dad, what kind of mountain is this?”

 “Why is there not a single fish in this river?”

“Then why is the monk carrying a big sword?”

“What's the red one selling on the roadside?”

Mo Hua kept talking all the way, and Mo Shan kept explaining to him gently:

“This is Qingping Mountain. The river water is poisonous so there are no fish. The monks carry knives to work for others, and the hawkers on the roadside sell mountain red that can't fill their stomachs..."

Mo Hua asked all the questions, and Mo Shan answered all the questions.

The journey was bumpy, but it was a smooth journey. Three days later, the carriage arrived at Cangyun City.

 Cangyun City is larger than Tongxian City, and the streets are wider, but not as lively as Tongxian City. Some of the things sold at the street stalls look novel, but most of them are similar to Tongxian City.

After turning a few streets, you can faintly see a towering sect on Qingping Mountain, shrouded in clouds and mist.

Cangyun Sect.

This is the largest sect in the Heishan realm of the second-level state.

 The sect is of the second rank, with more than ten foundation-building monks. It is said that the Supreme Elder is still in the late stage of foundation-building.

But these have nothing to do with ink painting, he just came to take a test.

 The final evaluation of Daoting formation masters takes place once every few years, and the time is uncertain. The specific date is decided by Daoting Tianshu Pavilion.

 Tianshu Pavilion will select the assessment location. In each state boundary, formation masters with qualifications will be gathered together for the assessment.

 The assessment location is usually a sect or a prominent family.

 The location chosen this year is Cangyun Sect.

Mo Hua entered the Cangyun Sect and got off the carriage. A disciple of the Cangyun Sect came forward and asked what the purpose of his visit was.

 A young executive from Tongxian City said: "We are here to participate in the formation master's finalization."

The disciple's attitude became a little more respectful. He said "please" and took Mo Hua and others to an elegantly decorated hall on the left.

There are many monks in the hall, sitting on mahogany chairs, drinking tea and waiting.

“Before ordering the product, a recommendation letter must be presented and registered by the elders of the sect. Once confirmed by the examiner of Tianshu Pavilion, you can participate in the formation assessment at Wenxian Hall, the main peak of Cangyun Peak, the day after tomorrow.”

The disciple reminded him, and after speaking, he bowed and left.

Mo Hua and others sat down, drank a cup of tea, and waited.

 The formation divisions on the other side are registered in order.

 When he was idle and bored, Mo Hua wanted to hear what he would ask when registering, but when he pricked his ears, he couldn't hear it.

 When his consciousness was released, he realized that there was a sound-proof formation around him.

This formation was simple and could not be troubled by Mo Hua, but out of respect, he still withdrew his consciousness, sat down and waited quietly.

 After waiting for a while and half a cup of tea, it was his turn.

Accompanied by Mo Shan, Mo Hua handed the recommendation letter to the registered elders.

This elder is only middle-aged. He is at the ninth level of Qi Refining and his qualifications are not very high. He must have just been promoted, so he was assigned to register.

He glanced at Mo Hua suspiciously, took Mo Hua's recommendation letter, his brows knitted together for a moment, thought for a moment, and asked tentatively:

“Which one of you is the ink painter?”

Mo Hua said: "Me."

The elder asked again: "Which one of you will take the exam?"

Mo Hua said again: "Me!"

The elder looked at the ink painting, then at the letter of recommendation, then at the ink painting, and then at the letter of recommendation... after a long while he said:

"How old are you?"

 “I'm thirteen!”

 The elder's expression suddenly became very complicated.

 He looked at Mo Shan again and asked, "Are you the father of this child?"

Mo Shan nodded.

“Do you know what he did here?”

Mo Shan frowned slightly and said calmly:

 “The letter should be written very clearly.”

The elder of Cangyun Sect took a look at the recommendation letter, and it was indeed clearly written on the letter:

"There is a monk from Tongxian City, whose surname is Mo Minghua. He is thirteen years old. He has profound knowledge of formations and has the qualifications to be qualified. I hereby recommend him. Chief of Tongxian City: Zhou Tiancheng."

There are also the official seal of Daotingsi and the private seal of Zhou Tiancheng, the head of the department.

The letter is true, but the more you look at it, the more false it becomes.

Where is there anyone who is thirteen years old and comes to take part in the quality assessment?

 “You're not lying to me…”

The middle-aged elder was particularly worried, so he let go of his consciousness and wanted to take a peek at the ink painting.

He did it very cryptically, and his spiritual consciousness was released as soon as it was released. However, when the spiritual consciousness was released, it was instantly annihilated when it touched the ink painting, leaving no trace and no information.

 Unfathomable?

The elder was shocked. As soon as he raised his head, he saw Mo Hua looking at him silently with a hint of displeasure.

 “Discovered!”

The elder felt a chill in his heart again. He stood up quickly, cupped his fists and said:

"I'm being rude, please don't take it off, I'll register it right now."

Mo Hua was not an unreasonable person, so he nodded and said:

 “Thank you for your help, elder.”

 The elder sat down again, feeling relieved.

 “Almost got into trouble…”

 The spiritual consciousness cannot be peeked into, so he must be wearing a spiritual weapon that blocks his spiritual consciousness.

This type of spiritual weapon is very valuable and is generally worn only by aristocratic families or sect disciples with a good background or knowledge.

 If this is the case, then the identity and background of this child should not be underestimated.

 It would be even more terrible if it were not so.

 The stronger the spiritual consciousness, the more obscure it becomes.

　　I cannot spy with my spiritual consciousness.

 This means that this child's spiritual consciousness is extremely strong, even much stronger than his own, so that he can completely isolate himself from the prying eyes of his own spiritual consciousness.

Even if you just peek slightly, you will be discovered by him.

With such a strong spiritual consciousness, he does have the capital to learn formation techniques, and it is very possible that he really has the strength to participate in the finalization and become a first-grade formation master.

 Plus he is only thirteen years old.

 A thirteen-year-old first-grade formation master…

That would be terrifying...

 The elder thought about it carefully in his mind, and the more he thought about it, the more panicked he became.

On the surface, he remained calm and serious, registering the name of the ink painting one stroke at a time, and then he handed over his hand and apologized:

 “I have offended you just now, please forgive me.”

 Afterwards he introduced himself:

"My surname is Li. I am the elder of the outer sect of Cangyun Sect. I am responsible for the reception of the formation master. If there is anything you don't understand, you can come to me."

Elder Li handed over another jade plaque, a map, and a jade sign.

“This jade token is a certificate. You will need to hold the jade token to participate in the final product assessment in the future.”

“This map is a simplified map of Waishan. It marks the architectural terrain of Waishan. Where you can go and where you cannot go are marked inside.”

“Our Cangyun Sect is the largest sect in the Black Mountain State. In your free time, you can walk around according to the map and see the scenery of the mountains outside the Cangyun Sect.”

“This is my identity jade sign. All the elders of Cangyun Sect have one. If there is any trouble, showing this jade sign will save a lot of effort..."

Elder Li's attitude is neither humble nor arrogant, but his words are very enthusiastic.

Mo Hua was a little surprised, so he smiled and said:

 “Thank you, Elder Li!”

Elder Li breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Mo Hua smiled sincerely and didn't look like he had any grudges, and personally sent Mo Hua and Mo Shan away.

The other formation masters who were still waiting to register looked at each other.

 They have been waiting here for a long time and watching for a long time.

This Elder Li works according to the rules and handles official business. He is not an enthusiastic person, and he does not speak unnecessary words.

 Why are you so enthusiastic about this father and son?

 A few people were confused.

There was a simple soundproof formation at the registration area. They couldn't hear what Mo Hua and the others said, so naturally they didn't know what happened...

 At the same time, what puzzled them even more was Mo Shan.

They didn't know Mo Shan's last name. They just saw that he had sword-shaped eyebrows and star-shaped eyes, his weapons were majestic, and his whole body was full of blood. His clothes were not expensive, but his bearing was indeed extraordinary.

　　It's just that although he has an extraordinary bearing, he doesn't look like an array master.

 He looks more like a physical practitioner who is good at using swords, rather than a formation master who can draw formations with a pen and ink.

 Also, what's going on when he comes to take part in the formation master assessment and brings his son with him?
