Asking About Longevity Chapter 413

Chapter 413: Cut with a Knife

Yaren was chatting about Nanyue City while introducing the cave to Mo Hua.

Mo Hua was looking at the appearance and layout of the cave while remembering what Mr. Zhuang said.

 “Look at the aura, look at the direction, look at the formation, look at the five elements…”

 The Taoist court was unified, and the cultivation world developed for more than 20,000 years. There were hundreds of millions of monks, but the spiritual energy of heaven and earth gradually weakened.

 Nowadays, the naturally existing spiritual energy in the world is no longer enough to support the cultivation of monks.

 But there is indeed spiritual energy between heaven and earth.

It's just that these spiritual energies are either thin, mixed, or dirty, and cannot be absorbed and refined by monks.

Mo Hua thought silently in his heart:

“Master asked me to see aura, what was it that I was looking at?”

 “What's so good about aura?”

Mo Hua let go of his consciousness and observed the lingering spiritual energy in the cave. After looking at it for a moment, he gradually became enlightened and understood something in his heart.

 What Mr. Zhuang allowed himself to see was not the spiritual energy itself, but the flow of the spiritual energy.

 When spiritual energy flows, the energy will be smooth and the cave will be livable.

 The wind is not always there, but the flow of spiritual power is always there.

 It's just that this flow is very subtle and requires patience and careful discrimination.

Orientation is also easy to understand.

  Southeast, northwest, up and down, four directions.

 The location of the cave, the layout and orientation of the entire fairy city are also very particular.

Not to mention formations.

Mo Hua is a first-level formation master and a first-level main formation master. He has built a five-element and first-level demon-slaying formation, has twelve lines of spiritual awareness, and has also learned the ultimate formation that is beyond the first-level.

 For today's ink paintings, things involving formations are actually the simplest.

 Especially the formations at the first-grade Qi refining stage.

This Nanyue City is only a second-grade immortal city.

The highest cultivation level is only foundation building, and the formation master is only at the first level.

The formations used in this cave are mainly those of the first rank. There are even very few formations of the first rank and nine lines. Most of them are simple formations of six or seven lines.

 These formations can be seen through at a glance without even calculating in the ink painting.

To today's ink painting, the formation of six or seven lines is no different from the basic formation.

 The last one is the five elements…

 Mo Hua still remembers the principle of the five elements being involved in the formation diagram when he was constructing the formation diagram for the weapon refining shop.

 In monastic buildings, different rooms and different formations all involve the principle of the five elements creating and restraining each other.

How to use gold to generate water and conserve water sources; use water to generate trees and nourish flowers and plants; use soil to generate gold and strengthen houses...

Mo Hua looked at it, calculated it, and talked about it plausibly.

Yaren could not help but look at the ink painting in surprise.

This little monk doesn't look like a layman.

And I am very familiar with the formations in the cave...

　　Seems to have quite a bit of formation skills.

 Could it be that he is the apprentice of some great formation master who wants to choose a cave for his master?

Yaren's spirit perked up, and the smile on his face became more sincere.

 Array master...

Even if you cannot please someone, you must not offend someone.

The Ya people were very enthusiastic. They took Mo Hua and the three of them to visit all the caves in Ya Xing.

Mo Hua looked around, thought about it carefully, and finally decided on three caves, and asked Bai Zisheng and Bai Zixi:

"How about it?"

Bai Zixi didn't say anything.

 Bai Zisheng was not very satisfied.

“It's not big enough, it's not grand enough, it doesn't have enough houses, and the facilities for refining alchemy and weapons are also very simple.”

Mo Hua glanced at him and said, "How about you choose?"

Bai Zisheng thought for a while and backed down:

“Forget it, master lets you choose, so you should do it.”

He had a headache just hearing about things like aura, patterns, formations, and five elements.

If Mo Hua makes a mistake, the master will not punish him.

If you make a mistake, it will be hard to explain. You may be punished by copying books or drawing formations hundreds of times...

Bai Zisheng looked at the ink painting again and muttered in his heart:

“Mo Hua can't be Master's blood-related descendant. Otherwise, why would Master treat him so well?”

Bai Zisheng speculated, and then denied it in his heart:

“Impossible, Mr. Zhuang's descendants cannot have such poor spiritual skills as ink painting!”

Mo Hua frowned, "Are you talking bad about me again?"

 “I didn't even say anything!”

 “You said it in your heart.”

Bai Zisheng opened his mouth, "Mo Hua, have you become a spirit? You can know what others are thinking?"

Mo Hua snorted lightly and said nothing.

 Ever since his spiritual consciousness became stronger and he learned calculations, he could vaguely sense some things in his heart.

Of course, he knew what Bai Zisheng was thinking, mainly because he was too familiar with him.

Bai Zisheng is wary of outsiders, but to acquaintances, especially his junior brother who he spends time with day and night, his worries are written all over his face.

Bai Zisheng asked about business: "Which of these caves should I choose?"

Mo Hua said: "I picked them based on the standards of spiritual energy, pattern, formation, and five elements mentioned by the master. These three are almost the same. Whichever one you like, just choose it."

Bai Zisheng scratched his head.

He thinks none of them are good, but when it comes to choosing, they are all about the same.

Mo Hua glanced at Bai Zixi and said, "Senior sister, which one do you like?"

 Bai Zisheng also looked at his sister.

Bai Zixi thought for a moment, then pointed at a picture of a cave with her delicate white fingers and said:

 “This.”

Mo Hua took a look and saw that there was nothing special about this cave, except that there was a pond in the yard, a lawn beside the pond, and a big tree on the lawn.

Although the layout is still different, it is somewhat similar to the mountain residence on the south mountain of Tongxian City where they studied with Mr. Zhuang.

 Especially the big tree in the courtyard.

Mo Hua then nodded and said, "Then this is the one."

Mo Hua showed the drawings of the cave to Mr. Zhuang.

Mr. Zhuang only glanced at it and nodded: "Not bad."

Mo Hua felt happy, it seemed that what he had considered before was right. Since Mr. Zhuang agrees, the next step is to go to the Yaren to rent a cave.

 Yaren was very surprised when he heard this.

He didn't expect that Mo Hua and the others would actually rent it.

"Do you really want to rent?" Yaren confirmed again.

Mo Hua nodded, but before he spoke, Bai Zixi on the side said in a clear voice:

 “Not rent.”

Not only Yaren was stunned, Mo Hua was also stunned.

 Bai Zixi said lightly:

"We buy."

Mo Hua whispered: "Senior sister, if you want to buy it, you will need a lot of spiritual stones..."

Bai Zixi shook her head, "Not much."

 She gently patted the storage bag with gold silk and embroidered phoenix patterns on her waist, and said softly to Mo Hua:

"Before leaving, Aunt Xue gave me all the spiritual stones..."

After saying that she was worried about Mo Hua, she added:

"very many…"

Mo Hua was a little shocked.

His little senior sister is actually a little rich woman...

 Then he had some doubts, "Can this small storage bag fit in?"

Bai Zixi nodded, "I can let it go."

Mo Hua understands.

 This storage bag should be an extraordinary spiritual weapon.

 General storage bags used for casual repairs have limited space and cannot hold too many things.

If you are moving large items, you will need to use storage boxes.

 But Mo Hua knew that some storage devices had a large space inside and were of course very expensive. At least Mo Hua himself couldn't afford them.

Mo Hua looked at the storage bag with golden phoenix pattern again, curious in his heart, he wanted to know how much stuff could be stored in it.

 But he was embarrassed and went to look through his little senior sister's storage bag.

The Yaman on the other side was overjoyed when he heard this.

 Originally, it was rented, but unexpectedly it turned into a purchase.

 The big deal became an even bigger deal.

Yaren immediately smiled and said: "The original price of the cave here is 40,000 spirit stones. If a few friends want to buy it, our bank can give you a preferential price of 38,000 spirit stones!"

Just when Bai Zixi was about to nod, Mo Hua said angrily:

"Wait a moment!"

Thirty-eight thousand spirit stones? !

 What about the liar?

 Generally, it only costs 10,000 spirit stones to build the foundation.

These ten thousand spirit stones need to be accumulated by casual cultivators for more than thirty years without eating or drinking.

 How can a casual cultivator not eat or drink?

How can everything be smooth sailing?

If something unexpected happens and you are in urgent need of spiritual stones, you will most likely be unable to make ends meet. You will not be able to save even 100 spiritual stones, let alone 10,000 spiritual stones.

 This cave requires thirty-five thousand spiritual stones?

 Save for a hundred years without eating or drinking?

 It's just a cave, why is it so expensive?

Mo Hua frowned, a little angry.

Yaren was helpless: "The market is just like this, and there's nothing we can do about it..."

 Then he said some more words, such as Daotingsi, family, land, etc., which meant that the cave was indeed expensive, no wonder them.

 “The market has been like this in recent years...”

Mo Hua saw that they did have difficulties and said:

 “Then it's cheaper for you.”

Although he doesn't need to produce spiritual stones, the young senior sister's spiritual stones are also spiritual stones.

More than 30,000 spirit stones, he also felt sorry for the little senior sister.

"It's not cheap anymore..." Yaren looked embarrassed, "Little brother, you have a good sense. Although the cave you chose seems inconspicuous, it has good weather conditions and is the best choice..."

Mo Hua narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "The formation in your cave is not good."

Yaren was slightly startled and a little unhappy:

"How good is the formation here? Let's not talk about anything else. Let's just say that this formation combines the five elements and is both offensive and defensive. It can not only prevent thieves and enemies, but also ventilate and nourish Qi. There are also the grades of this formation. It is a real first-grade formation, drawn by the formation master himself, and it is almost brand new..."

The tooth is eloquent and eloquent.

Mo Hua then pointed to a spot on the ground and said, "The formation here is broken."

Yaren was stunned, "It's... broken?"

Mo Hua nodded, "Earth and stone formation, the formation medium at the second formation pattern is broken..."

Mo Hua took a few steps forward, raised his head, and said:

 “The formation here is wrong.”

“Ming Lantern Array, the fourth array pattern, the fifth stroke is wrong..."

 The tooth man opened his mouth wide.

Mo Hua turned his head again and looked at the yard, "There were originally four formations here, but they failed and no one repaired them. Maybe even you don't know..."

“Also, the formation here is also wrong…”

“The formation here is correct, but it uses inferior spiritual ink and will become ineffective after two months.”

“And here, the formations conflict…”

 “What is painted here…”

"here…"

　　Yaren was completely dumbfounded.

 Who is this little monk?

I didn't even show the formation map of this cave to this young monk...

 The formation is confidential, and the formation diagrams are sealed. They cannot be taken out until the transaction is completed.

How come this little monk, after just a few glances, explained all the problems with the cave formation as clearly as if it were a treasure trove?

Is the cave good-looking, good to live in, and good in layout?

 These are subjective questions.

 One person's opinion is not accurate.

 But the issue of formation is real and cannot be deceived...

Moreover, someone saw through it so clearly and clearly...

 The Yaman was devastated and sweating profusely.

Mo Hua had almost finished listing all his faults. With a flash of his eyes, he took advantage of his unpreparedness and slashed hard:

 “Twenty thousand spirit stones!”

The lion opened its mouth wide and almost cut off half of it with a knife.

Yaren shivered and almost lost his balance...
