Immortality Through Array Formations Chapter 964

Chapter 964: Chapter 640: Clue Chapter 964: Chapter 640: Clue “These 'spiritual livestock,' are actually people?”

“Chickens, ducks, cows, horses, and sows, cranes, these are all different terms for cultivators?”

Mo Hua's pupils contracted slightly.

On the Letter Token, there was a “ledger.”

The ledger recorded numerous quantities.

This meant that Bald Eagle and his group…
They were not simply “kidnapping”; they were likely secretly engaged in large-scale “trafficking” of cultivators.

Selling people as if they were “spiritual livestock”!

Mo Hua's gaze turned cold, Bald Eagle, that bastard, died too easily…
Looking at the restored, lengthy “spiritual livestock ledger,” Mo Hua frowned slightly, feeling puzzled.

*Although Bald Eagle was powerful, he wasn't so capable that he could, on his own, conduct such large-scale illicit “deals” as this.*
*He was probably just a small leader.*
*A link in the entire “trafficking chain.”*
*Surely, there were more sin cultivators on this trafficking chain.*
Moreover, with such large-scale trafficking of cultivators, it appeared calm on the surface without any signs of disturbance.

This indicated that Bald Eagle's group had a long-standing and stable criminal process.

They had deeply rooted interests.

Perhaps there was even an unseen “black umbrella” behind them…
*Behind them, there was very likely some “great cultivator” obscuring the Heavenly secret…*
Mo Hua pondered for a moment, sighed, and silently put the Letter Token into his Storage Ring.

*Such matters couldn't be dealt with for the time being…*
*When I have the strength, the network, or when I have uncovered the mysteries within, then I would think about getting to the bottom of this matter.*
*Before that, this Letter Token mustn't be disclosed to anyone.*
*Otherwise, it would surely bring disaster.*
*As just a little cultivator, alone in the Qian Learning State Boundary, with no one to rely on, if I overestimated myself and rashly interfered in such matters, I could easily become a target for the “hidden hand” and be unable to protect myself.*
*Even if Elder Master Xun and Aunt Wan wished to protect me, it might not be enough…*
*I can't rely too much on others.*
*Nor can I add too much trouble for them.*
Mo Hua nodded slightly.

His master had warned him that the nail that stands out gets hammered down.

As strong as the master, with Heavenly secret Calculations perfected, was still manipulated and put in peril, life and death unknown.

*I am not as capable as my master. If I wish to survive, I must learn “invisibility.”*
*To become “invisible” in the cycle of cause and effect.*
*And even if I make an appearance, I should place myself in an “unassuming” position.*
Mo Hua, with his mind made up, stored Bald Eagle's Letter Token and decided to not think about it for the time being.

The task at hand was still to capture the Fire Buddha.

…
The next day was a rest day.

Mo Hua, holding Yu Er's hand and escorted by Wenren Wei, boarded a luxurious carriage, leaving the secluded and classic Taixu Gate, heading towards the Gu Family in Qingzhou City.

Once at the Gu Family, Yu Er went to report her studies to Wenren Wan.

The direct lineage of this prestigious family had strict cultivation requirements.

Previously disturbed by nightmares, Yu Er was weak and fell behind in her cultivation.

But now, with Yu Er by Mo Hua's side, eating and sleeping well, her Vital Energy was abundant, naturally, she had to catch up on the cultivation lessons she missed.

Mo Hua met with Wenren Wan, exchanged pleasantries, and then went to find Gu Changhuai.

A disciple of the Gu Family led Mo Hua to Gu Changhuai's study.

Gu Changhuai's study was exceedingly tidy, spotless, exquisite, and luxurious.

It was evidently the study of a pampered, noble family scion.

On a nearby screen, there was even an embroidered, multicolored peacock, arrogance etched on its face as it displayed its feathers, looking quite flamboyant.

Quite in line with Mo Hua's “stereotypical” impression of Uncle Gu.

The leading disciple of the Gu Family merely showed Mo Hua to the doorway, then bowed and departed.

Mo Hua stood outside, peeking into the study, curious to see what Uncle Gu was doing.

Gu Changhuai knew Mo Hua had arrived and sighed,
“Come in then.”

Mo Hua boldly stepped inside.

Gu Changhuai sat at a redwood-gilded desk.

Mo Hua glanced around, seeing no seat before the desk, he fetched a stool and placed it opposite Gu Changhuai, sitting face-to-face.

Gu Changhuai sighed again.

*This child certainly didn't treat himself as an outsider…*
Then Mo Hua got down to business.

“Uncle Gu, any leads on the Fire Buddha?”

Though judging from Uncle Gu's expression, he knew there likely weren't any leads and the progress was small, Mo Hua asked anyway as a matter of form.

Gu Changhuai shook his head, clearly unwilling to elaborate.

“Then…” Mo Hua inquired again, “Has the Letter Token of Flower Gentleman been restored?”

Gu Changhuai's face darkened, “No, it can't be restored…”
Mo Hua felt a hint of joy, but he still expressed regret.

Gu Changhuai silently observed Mo Hua, frowning,
“Why do you seem… a little happy?”

“No, no…” Mo Hua was a bit “insincere.”

He was learning the Yuan Magnetic Formation to “restore” the magnetic patterns, retrieve the erased text on the Letter Token.

If others restored it, wouldn't his efforts be for nothing?

Gu Changhuai felt a bit perplexed, unsure of what to say.

Mo Hua then gently suggested,
“Uncle Gu, why not let me try?”

Gu Changhuai was somewhat astonished, “Let you try what?”

“The Letter Token!”

Gu Changhuai looked at Mo Hua skeptically, “Don't tell me, in these few days, you've already learned to 'restore' the magnetic patterns of the Letter Token?”

Mo Hua “modestly” nodded.

Gu Changhuai fell silent.
