Asking About Longevity Chapter 730

Chapter 730: Pigs advance by leaps and bounds

 At the gate of Demon Refining Mountain.

Xun Ziyou and another elder wearing maple robes were drinking tea.

The elder took a sip of tea, suddenly frowned, and said strangely: "Recently, there seem to be a lot fewer wood wolves in the mountains than when I was on duty..."

Xun Ziyou choked on her tea and coughed.

The elder in maple-colored robes glanced at Xun Ziyou suspiciously, "Elder Xun, do you know something?"

Xun Ziyou has a complicated look on his face, how can I not know what he is thinking...

One of my "junior brothers" from the Taixu Sect, together with a bunch of his junior fellow apprentices from the Taixu Sect, hunted and killed the Cangmu Lang in the Demon Refining Mountain.

 Customized formations, specially crafted spiritual weapons, standardized procedures, unified tactics, and made it look like a Taoist soldier...

How can a monster survive?

The Cang Wood Wolf in Demon Refining Mountain has been suffering from bad luck for eight lifetimes.

They are a team of five, and they are good at killing Cang Timber Wolf.

 Fortunately, Mo Hua seemed to have heard Elder Xun's request and did not hunt down another monster like the Cang Wood Wolf.

Azure Snake, a wood-type snake demon, is similar to the Cangmu Wolf Demon. They are both wood-type monsters and are naturally poisonous.

In order to maintain the balance of the monsters and prevent his disciples from returning empty-handed, Mo Hua found time to hunt and kill them himself. After summing up his experience, he formulated another "strategy" for the monsters.

 Soon, Azure Snake shared the pressure for Cang Timber Wolf.

Xun Ziyou glanced at him, silently poured him a cup of tea, and whispered:

Xun Ziyou coughed and said vaguely: "I don't know... the disciples of the sect hunt monsters. What they hunt is not hunting. More or less doesn't matter."

 It's just that Xunzi felt a little restless in his heart.

Other than being naturally poisonous, difficult to sense, and difficult to hunt, the Azure Snake is not too strong.

There are more monks killing wolves, but there are fewer wolves.

 Then they both picked up their teacups and sipped the tea leisurely.

 The number of gray wood wolves began to decrease significantly.

 The formation diagram for customizing spiritual weapons has been standardized by Master Gu and passed on to his many disciples.

These monsters have all been added to Mo Hua's “Monster Hunting Strategy List”.

These strategies cover a wider scope.

 The efficiency of hunting monsters is also much higher than that of placing bounties.

After all, sin cultivators are running around, and hunting them down is very time-consuming, and most of the monsters are in the Demon Refining Mountain. You can find them when you enter the mountain.

 This strategy is to kill a monster called Azure Snake.

The armor weapon used to hunt the Cang Timber Wolf is also suitable for the Azure Snake.

“What's more, the war in the Southern Wilderness is tense. Maybe we will be tired from traveling across mountains and rivers at some time. Where can we have such a leisurely day looking at the mountains and tasting tea..."

 He is ready to attack other monsters.

In addition to the wood-type monsters, there are also gold-type leopards, earth-type gray-spotted pythons, fire-type red-flame hyenas, etc.

However, the azure snake is more sinister and venomous, and is hidden in shrubs. It has the same color as the grass and trees, and its demonic power is also mixed with the scent of the grass and trees, making it difficult to distinguish.

For this purpose, Mo Hua specially made a wood spirit formation disk.

The elder in maple-colored robes was startled, then nodded in agreement:

“Elder Xun's words make sense.”

 Is it the breath of natural vegetation, the spiritual power of monks, or the demonic power of wood poison?

And the Azure Snake has snake gallbladder, so it can be sold for a higher price and earn more merits.

“We elders just need to maintain order. There are so many disciples from each sect. Wherever we can manage, just let them play as they please, as long as we don't cause big trouble..."

As for the matching custom-made spiritual weapon, Mo Hua also designed the weapon refining array and handed it over to Master Gu for refining and sold it in the Gu family business pavilion.

Mo Hua, this careless child, must not kill the blue wolves in Demon Refining Mountain to extinction...

 The number of spiritual weapons used in hunting monsters is much greater than the amount of bounties placed on them to apprehend criminal cultivators.

 There are also a lot of wood wolves in the mountains.

The Cang Timber Wolf is no longer the only kind of monster that was "mutilated" by the Taixu Sect's "junior brother" Mo Hua, who led a group of junior fellow apprentices.

Master Gu's Gushan weapon refining business, so the fire is constantly burning and the work is in full swing.

Now he has more junior brothers and sisters under his "command". Teams of them, wearing Yimu armor and holding sharp gold spiritual weapons, all go to kill Cangmu Lang.

This array can identify the approximate composition of the wood spiritual power within ten feet of the body.

 After the Azure Snake, Mo Hua also made hunting "strategies" for several other types of monsters.

 “That's right...” the elder muttered.

The number of these spiritual weapons is extremely large.

 Although it is not very accurate, it is enough for searching for monsters.

 Some disciples spent a whole day wandering around Demon Refining Mountain, only to return empty-handed, wasting the merit of buying tickets.

If you only order one or two pieces, there is no way to refine them in batches.

 But now Taixu Sect disciples have a "strategy" for hunting monsters with Mo Hua, and the matching of various spiritual weapons has become standardized, and they have reached a certain scale of weapon refining.

 These customized spiritual weapons can be mass-produced appropriately.

 At the same time, Shangge's business is getting better and better…

However, Mo Hua doesn't have to worry about these.

 When he was off, he would still spend time in the Demon Refining Mountain, but now, he no longer had to do it himself.

 He prepared a strategy for hunting monsters and promoted it widely.

 After a period of time, more and more Taixu disciples came to visit the hall, recognized their junior brothers, received strategies, and went to the Demon Refining Mountain.

More than a thousand disciples in the same sect, although most of them superficially called him "little senior brother".

 But in their hearts, there are still only a small number of people who really regard him as their little senior brother.

They are all the proud sons of heaven, and no one will easily obey the other.

There are some people who are talented and high-spirited. When they encounter ink paintings on the street, most of them are acquaintances and cannot say the words "little senior brother".

 This is normal and Mo Hua doesn't care about it.

 But it's different now.

These monster hunting strategies cannot be shared without the permission of Mo Hua.

 If you want a guide, you need to go to Mo Hua.

 Hunting monsters in the mountains is difficult for newcomers.

At first, everyone was stumbling and struggling.

But now there is a disciple, armed with a complete "strategy" drawn in ink and wearing armor, he goes into the mountains and kills monsters one after another smoothly, and his merits are earned.

Other disciples, no matter how arrogant they are, can't sit still.

 There is also competition among the same sects.

　　We are all monastic geniuses, and their talents are not bad.

 You have to hone your combat experience by yourself, and you have to earn your own spiritual resources. If you are slow, you will be slow every step of the way.

 Now with the help of Mo Hua, some disciples are making rapid progress.

 It is impossible for other disciples not to want to make progress.

 What's more, he also has a lot of achievements in hunting monsters.

 Merits are more important than face.

So the Taixu sect's geniuses who were arrogant and arrogant before and swore not to associate with the ink painting also had slightly red cheeks. They ran to the ink painting and shouted shyly:

 “Little senior brother…”

 The ink painting looks like a spring breeze.

Anyway, no matter who comes, he treats them equally and does not hide any personal secrets.

　　The guide was given and he also thoughtfully mentioned some precautions.

These geniuses followed the method of ink painting and entered the Demon Refining Mountain. As expected, they successfully hunted the monsters. They couldn't believe it for a while.

 Hunting monsters...is that easy?

 When the meritorious service is obtained, some small grudges in their hearts will completely disappear.

 The words "little senior brother" became more and more smooth to pronounce.

 In their hearts, they gradually "strategize themselves"...

 The ink painter is so good, why should he call him "little senior brother"?

 This was ordered by Mr. Xun.

 Not for the sake of the ink paintings, but also for the sake of Mr. Xun.

 Furthermore, if others can shout about this little senior brother, why can't I shout at him?

So when Mo Hua walked through the door, he would often be greeted by disciples whom he met and called him "little senior brother".

 Especially in Demon Refining Mountain, there are more people calling "little senior brother".

With their current level of cultivation, most of those who can survive in Demon Refining Mountain have obtained Mo Hua's strategies and received guidance from Mo Hua.

On this day, Mo Hua entered the Demon Refining Mountain. A fellow disciple saw Mo Hua and said enthusiastically:

“Senior Brother, we killed a Cang Timber Wolf and got a demon elixir. Please accept it.”

This disciple has a kind face, quick eyes, and looks very smart.

I have an impression from the ink painting that his surname seems to be Dong, and his given name is the same as Shi. But he couldn't remember which state he was from.

Mo Hua shook his head and refused:

“The demon pill is valuable, you can keep it in exchange for merit.”

The disciple named Dong Shi said gratefully: "Without the guidance of my younger brother, we wouldn't have been able to obtain this demon pill."

Other disciples also echoed: "That's right."

 “Senior Brother, just accept it, otherwise we will feel sorry for you.”

Even though he had given them some advice, Mo Hua felt a little embarrassed about taking the demon elixir that others had worked so hard for as his own.

 He looked at the Cang Timber Wolf who had just died tragically on the ground, his eyes suddenly brightened, and he said:

“I don't want the demon elixir, but give me the demon blood.”

Several Taixu disciples were startled, "Demon blood?"

 “Well,” Mo Hua nodded, “I'm of great use.”

They figured it out after thinking about it for a moment.

Little senior brother wants to hoard demon blood, prepare spiritual ink, and learn formations.

 As expected of a young senior brother!

 Be high-spirited and lively!

It is neither greedy for the demon Dan, but he is afraid that these same homes will not go. He only takes the demon blood and deploy the spirit ink to paint the formation method.

 Be kind to your fellow disciples and be sincere in learning the Dharma.

Several Taixu disciples said quickly: "Senior brother, please let me bleed as you like."

Mo Hua smiled and said, "Thank you."

 After draining Cang Mulang's blood, Mo Hua said goodbye to several people.

Dong Shi said goodbye to Mo Hua, turned around and said to the other Taixu disciples: "Pass this on, my junior brother wants demon blood."

"good!"

 So one spreads it to ten, and ten spreads it to a hundred.

Soon, all the Taixu disciples in Demon Refining Mountain knew about the matter of "little senior brother wants demon blood".

 They were worried that they would not have a chance to thank Mo Hua.

 Merely demon blood is a no-brainer.

 After that, Mo Hua entered the Demon Refining Mountain, and disciples came to him every now and then, "Senior Brother, we just killed a demon beast and haven't bled it yet. What do you want?"

Even some disciples, after killing monsters, would wait for Mo Hua to come over and drain the blood first.

 This is exactly what Mo Hua wants.

 Demon blood is difficult to obtain, and it cannot be exchanged for much merit, so ordinary disciples cannot use it.

Hand the ink painting, I feel at ease.

In this way, Mo Hua continues to create strategies for hunting monsters.

The disciples who enter the Demon Refining Mountain follow Mo Hua's strategies and instructions. The monsters they hunt will also follow the rules and let Mo Hua bleed them first.

This gradually formed a conventional "rule".

 All this was seen by Elder Xunzi Youxun.

 Elder Xun was a little unbelievable. He suddenly realized that Mo Hua, a child with little cultivation experience and poor spiritual aptitude, was born in a noble family and had a lot of geniuses. Everyone in the Taixu Sect had high-grade spiritual roots. There was already a vague connection between them. A kind of "prestige"...

Moreover, this kind of prestige is not prestige over fellow students.

 It is more like the prestige of harmonious coexistence, equality and reciprocity among members of the same sect.

 He had almost never seen this kind of situation before.

Elder Xun even felt that it was a bit strange...

As Mo Hua formulated more and more monster hunting strategies, Taixu Sect disciples occupied a large part of the low-grade monster area outside the Demon Refining Mountain.

 Some other sect disciples were dissatisfied and would occasionally cause trouble.

But it was just a small fuss, and there was no commotion.

The mountains and plains are full of his junior disciples. Mo Hua occasionally hunts monsters, performs bloodletting, and walks around the mountains, but he lives a very comfortable life.

 As long as he has time, he will still discuss custom-made spiritual weapons with Master Gu.

This time during the ten-day break, Master Gu made a special trip to Taixu City and saw Mo Hua once.

“Young Master, the armor you mentioned has been refined...”

Master Gu handed a storage bag to Mo Hua.

"There are two pairs of armors here, which have been improved more than ten times. Now they can not only embed formations to realize the functions of spiritual weapons, but also can be open source and controlled by divine thoughts. They can be regarded as something between 'array medium' and 'spiritual weapon'." A special type of array device among the devices..."

 The ink painting looked overjoyed.

 He took out two pieces of armor from his storage bag and looked at them carefully.

 From the outside, these are just two ordinary pieces of armor.

 But the internal structure has its own mystery. As Master Gu said, a lot of thought was indeed put into it.

 “Thank you, Master Gu!” Mo Hua said with a smile.

“You are so polite, young master,” Master Gu said with a smile, “Speaking of which, I should be the one thanking you.”

“If it weren't for the young master's clever mind and excellent formation skills, which helped us a lot, Gushan Weapon Refining is now a business, and I'm afraid we would still be living in poverty…”

Master Gu was quite emotional, and then said sincerely:

“I wonder if, young master, when I have time, I can go to Gushan City again so that I can fulfill my duties as a landlord and entertain you well.”

Master Gu smiled and said: "Although Gushan City is poor, it has some local game that is delicious and cannot be eaten elsewhere."

Mo Hua's eyes lit up and he nodded repeatedly, “Okay, okay.”

Then he felt a little regretful, "However, Mr. Xun won't let me run around now. I will definitely go when I have time in the future."

Master Gu looked overjoyed, cupped his hands and said, "Then it's settled."

 “It's a deal!”

After bidding farewell to Master Gu and returning to the sect, he began to draw the Five Elements Jue Formation on the Five Elements Origin Armor, with thirteen patterns of the first grade.

 After finishing the painting, Mo Hua went to the Taoist room to try it out.

 The power of his fireball technique has indeed increased a lot.

 But how much stronger it is is hard to estimate.

Furthermore, the fireball spell is a low-end spell after all, and it does not condense much spiritual power. Even if it is enhanced, the effect is not that obvious.

Mo Hua wants to try his own forbidden technique, the small meteorite technique.

 But I feel that some of them are too dangerous.

 This is a forbidden technique.

With the increase of the five elements, if the spiritual power gets out of control again and hurts oneself, the trouble will be big.

Even if you can't hurt yourself, it's still not good if you damage the puppets and formations in the Taoist room.

Before I entered the house, I made a promise to Elder Yi not to mess around, not to use spells indiscriminately, not to damage the puppets.

"Then let's try it with Cheng Mo and the others..."

  Anyway, this pair of Five Elements Source Armor was originally intended for them to use.

Furthermore, Cheng Mo is a physical practitioner and has strong blood. Even if his spiritual power goes out of control and Taoism backfires and hurts him, he will probably be alive and kicking after ten and a half days of rest.

Whether it is the Five Elements Source Formation or the Five Elements Source Armor, the structure is relatively stable.

 Even if you lose control, your life is unlikely to be in danger.

Especially Cheng Mo, who has rough skin and thick flesh and can't be hurt anywhere. He is a perfect "guinea pig".

Mo Hua called Cheng Mo and Situ Jian and said expectantly: "Go to Demon Refining Mountain, I will take you to try something..."

Cheng Mo was a little confused, "What?"

 “You will know when the time comes.”

Mo Hua smiled and gave up.

Cheng Mo looked confused, but he always felt that his little senior brother seemed to have bad intentions.

 Several people arrived at Demon Refining Mountain.

Mo Hua took out two pairs of Five Elements Source Armor, thought for a while, gave one to Cheng Mo and another to Yang Qianjun.

 This is armor, it's best to wear it if you are a physical practitioner.

Cheng Mo took the armor in his hand, looked through it, and found that it was a style he had never seen before, so he asked, "Do you want to hunt new monsters?"

Mo Hua shook his head, "Let's kill Cang Wood Wolf."

"Cang Mu Lang?" Yang Qianjun was also a little confused: "But, this is not Yimu armor..."

And he has never seen such armor.

 He is a Taoist soldier and has some research on armor.

Although this armor looks ordinary, its internal structure is very special, and it is quite different from all the armors he has seen before.

“Yimu armor is used for defense, this armor is not…”

Mo Hua didn't say it clearly, he just said, "If this armor is really useful, there is no need to defend against a wood wolf, and the battle will be over in one round."

Several people were stunned by Mo Hua's remarks.

 One turn and the battle is over?

 What is this armor used for...

On the other side, Xun Ziyou saw Mo Hua and the others, just like before, they were gathering around and muttering something. He thought they were discussing about hunting monsters again, so he didn't pay much attention to them.

 After that, Mo Hua and his party entered the Demon Refining Mountain.

Mo Hua spent a stick of incense to find a Cang Timber Wolf, and then he followed the old rules, followed, laid traps, and set up formations.

Cang Timber Wolf was hit by the formation and was seriously injured.

Cheng Mo and others rushed forward to kill them as usual.

But what is different from the past is that what they wear is no longer the Yimu armor for defense, but the "Five Elements Source Armor" with ink paintings on it.

At the same time that Cheng Mo and the others rushed forward, Mo Hua's consciousness moved and he instantly communicated with the Five Elements Source Armor and activated the Five Elements Source Formation within it.

His spiritual thoughts merged into the Five Elements Absolute Formation and merged with the spiritual power of the formation patterns.

 On the Five Elements Source Armor, complex and unusual formation patterns light up.

 Cheng Mo and Yang Qianjun also vaguely felt that the aura around them had also changed.

 The spiritual power seems to be ready to move...

 But suddenly, everything stopped.

The light on the armor dissipated, and the strange movements of spiritual power disappeared.

Mo Hua shouted crisply: "Stop!"

Cheng Mo, Yang Qianjun and others who were halfway through the charge were a little stunned and looked back at Mo Hua.

Mo Hua frowned and immediately said: "Retreat first."

　A few people don't understand.

Mo Hua said: "A big guy is coming."

When everyone heard this, their hearts trembled, and they immediately let go of their consciousness, but they didn't detect anything.

 But what Mo Hua said is definitely correct.

So the few people left the seriously injured Cang Timber Wolf behind, climbed to a nearby big tree, and raised their eyes to look around.

As expected, after a moment, the demonic aura suddenly became stronger.

A huge pig-headed demon rushed out of the grass, with dark red eyes, ferocious fangs, and smelly saliva, staring intently at the wooden wolf in front of it.

 The expressions of Cheng Mo and others changed.

Mo Hua also frowned slightly.

“Second-grade mid-level monster…”

 The strength of monsters is much stronger than that of monks in the same realm.

 The blood energy is also several times thicker.

Since most of the demon beasts in the Demon Refining Mountain have special bloodlines and are scarce in category, they are generally stronger than the demon beasts in the Dahei Mountain.

Sect disciples are not good at hunting monsters themselves.

 So most of them are in groups of five, hunting monsters at a lower level.

For example, the five monks who were in the middle stage of foundation building in Mo Hua killed the Cang Timber Wolf, which was a second-grade first-level monster.

This is both stable and safe.

And if Mo Hua hadn't made a detailed "strategy", it would have been difficult for the five sect disciples in the middle stage of foundation building to successfully hunt down a second-grade elementary monster beast despite their lack of experience.

 Let alone a second-grade mid-level monster.

They are definitely no match for second-grade mid-level monsters, and the risks are also higher.

Even if you can use the Five Elements Source Armor to increase your spiritual power, the outcome is hard to say.

 So at the beginning of Mo Hua, he only planned to use the second-grade Cangmu Lang, which was the first level, to try his hand. This way, even if the Five Elements Source Armor failed, his life would not be in danger.

 But the second-grade mid-level monsters are completely different.

Even though it is only one level higher, its strength is on another level entirely.

 The ink painting has a solemn expression.

Situ Jian asked in a low voice: "Senior brother, what should I do?"

Mo Hua took a look at the ugly pig-headed demon with a surging aura. He shook his head and whispered, "Let's retreat first."

 It is too risky to attack this second-grade mid-level pig-headed demon.

This pig-headed demon seemed to be attracted by the demon blood of the Cang Timber Wolf. It wanted to eat the Cang Timber Wolf, so it didn't notice Mo Hua and the others.

At this time, it was fighting with the Cang Timber Wolf.

The Cang Wood Wolf was no match for the pig-headed demon, what's more, it was injured by Mo Hua's formation and was seriously injured.

The pig-headed demon bit into the Cang Timber Wolf one bite at a time, sucking its blood and gnawing its flesh.

Taking this opportunity, Mo Hua made a quick decision:

"Walk!"

 Cheng Mo and the others nodded, followed Mo Hua, and quietly evacuated from the tree.

Seeing that Mo Hua and others were planning to leave, Elder Xun, who was secretly watching from a distance, nodded slightly and thought to himself:

 “It's good to know how to advance and retreat without taking risks...”

Mo Hua made a decisive decision and quickly evacuated the nearby area.

The huge pig-headed demon was left to feast on the place, eating up the dead wood wolf, including the flesh and bones.

 The pig-headed demon is greedy by nature and eats very quickly.

 After eating, I still felt a little unfinished.

 The ugly pig nose sniffed the air, and suddenly the crimson pupils shrank.

 It smelled of fresh human flesh.

The pig-headed demon's eyes were cold and cruel. He licked his pig lips and stood up slowly. Then he roared miserably. The demonic aura suddenly burst out, entangled with black and red foul smell, and followed the delicious human scent towards the direction where Mo Hua and the others were evacuating. The pig advances...
