Chapter 19 Solid Earth Formation

The deposit for the Gutu Formation was twenty spirit stones. Mo Hua took out ten of the spirit stones he had earned before and deposited them with the fat steward. He received the Gutu Formation diagram and ten pieces of paper and ink materials for a period of twenty days.

 After leaving the trading house, Mo Hua went to the pastry shop and bought ten colorful cakes for two spirit stones. After that, he went straight back to the sect and gave several pieces of cakes to Dahu and the other three.

 The food in the sect is not good. The three of them are usually greedy, but there is nothing delicious.

Mo Hua bought some cakes to satisfy their craving.

Diziju is a dormitory for disciples in Tongxianmen. There are two people in one room. The room is not big. There are two simple wooden beds and two somewhat worn wooden tables, which are just enough for the disciples' daily life.

There are still seven days until the next ten-day break, and thirteen days have passed since I received the formation materials from the fat steward. Mo Hua's understanding of the solid soil formation is not going well.

“Disciple is just curious and wants to find out the reason.” Mo Hua asked for advice seriously.

Shuanghu secretly handed an oil paper bag to Mo Hua and said in a low voice:

 “It’s specially left for you, don’t tell anyone else.”

One day, Teacher Yan finished his class and was clearing away the books on his desk when his disciples dispersed in twos and threes.

 But the ink paintings that have not eaten meat for more than a month are not so particular. Some eating is good.

Mo Hua took out several earth-type formation patterns from the solid-earth formation and said:

“The disciple occasionally saw these formation patterns and found that they were somewhat different from those in the textbook, but he couldn’t tell the specific difference. Moreover, it was easy to make mistakes when drawing. I don’t know what went wrong.”

“This is the earth pattern among the basic five elements pattern, and it is a relatively standardized general pattern. It shouldn’t be too difficult for you. If you can’t draw it well, just practice more.”

Shuanghu and the others couldn't afford the animal meat with spiritual energy. Looking at Shuanghu's sneaky appearance, they could only steal it.

There are also more luxurious and comfortable residences for disciples in Tongxian Sect, but they cost extra spiritual stones.

 It is the flesh of spiritual beasts.

Either the combination of the drawn formation patterns does not form a formation, or the drawn formation patterns are simply invalid and unable to transmit spiritual power.

The chicken drumstick is about the size of a fist, steaming and a bit burnt from the grill. You can smell the alluring aroma, especially the light aura floating on it.

 “That’s right...it’s better if you know something in advance.”

“Then we need to connect these formation patterns together to form a formation, such as this formation..."

Yan Jiaoxi took a piece of paper and drew a few formation patterns, explaining as he drew.

But a few people looked a little miserable, most of them had flesh wounds, and the elders couldn't really do anything to them.

As soon as Mo Hua opened the door, he saw two tigers standing furtively in front of the door.

Dahu and the other three looked miserable, but they held their heads high and their expressions were a bit proud. After all, being able to steal a chicken from under the elder's nose was not something that ordinary disciples could do.

When they saw Mo Hua, they pretended not to see them. Xiaohu even secretly winked at Mo Hua, making Mo Hua pretend not to recognize them. Mo Hua felt a little dumbfounded and thought about buying more cakes for them to eat during the next ten-day break.

Yan Jiaoxi looked at it and said with some surprise:

"This is the changed Five Elements formation pattern. It is different from the one officially taught by the sect. This kind is not standardized and not very common. To draw this kind of formation pattern, you need to change the brushwork, and the order is also different from the standard formation pattern. Basically Change the order of these strokes..."

The chicken legs in Mo Hua's hand were simply grilled. He was probably afraid that others would find out, so he lit a fire secretly and finished the grilling in a hurry, so it was impossible to bake it well.

"Arrays are all composed of arrays arranged and interconnected. A simple array contains simple arrays and a small number of arrays. The more difficult an array is, the more arrays it contains. Various arrays The order of arrangement, spatial composition, and connection become more complex and subtle. The Solid Earth Formation contains four formation patterns, and the formation patterns need to be drawn in sequence according to fixed directions, leaving the two positions of Qian and Kun..."

There are many types of variant formations and cannot be classified, so the sect normally only teaches the standardized formations.

Moreover, the Solid Earth Formation consists of four formation patterns and requires high spiritual awareness.

Mo Hua closed the door, opened the still-hot oil paper, and found a freshly roasted chicken leg wrapped inside.

Yan Jiaoxi looked at the several formation patterns handed over by the ink painting and said:

Two days later, Mo Hua saw Dahu and his trio with bruises on their noses and swollen faces, and two big bumps on their heads.

 One hundred and seventy-six. Two hundred and thirty. One hundred and thirty-seven. Ninety

It is not too difficult to draw formation patterns in ink, but when practicing on stone tablets, a lot more spiritual energy is consumed, and it is easy to make mistakes.

After Mo Hua heard this, he suddenly realized.

The cooking of meals in the monastic community is also very particular. If you have not learned it specifically, it will be difficult to make delicious food.

Mo Hua finished the chicken legs with some difficulty, then lit a fire to burn the oil paper, and threw the bones into the stream outside the house, completely destroying the evidence.

The three of them are all at Tongxuan Peak, and the elders can find them out with a quick check. If they can't escape, they will be punished.

The elder was furious, caught several disciples, and punished them severely.

 It is nothing more than a small punishment but a big warning to give other disciples a warning.

“No wonder people say that the formation is vast and profound, and there are too many twists and turns in it. If I hadn’t asked for advice, I wouldn’t have thought of it with my two heads..." Mo Hua secretly complained in his heart.

 After speaking, he glanced around, then ran away like a thief.

 After eating, Mo Hua spent some time refining the spiritual energy contained in the chicken, and then continued to study the formation.

Mo Hua hesitated for a moment and took a bite. It smelled a bit burnt and had the aroma of meat, but it was not roasted thoroughly and it was not seasoned, so the taste was somewhat bland.

Mo Hua brought a few basic earth-type formation patterns to Yan Jiaoxi and respectfully asked for advice:

“Teacher Xi, this disciple doesn’t quite understand the earth element formation pattern here. Please give me some advice.”

In the end, there was no other way, so Mo Hua decided to ask Yan Jiaoxi for advice.

Except for meat, other vegetables, fruits and vegetables, in addition to their own taste, also have some aura. When these auras are mixed with the flavors of the ingredients themselves, if the mixture is not properly prepared, the taste will be very strange.

Yan Jiaoxi lectured with great interest, and he also listened to the ink painting with great interest. Until the end of the teaching, Yan Jiaoxi still had some unfinished ideas, and then warned:

"The art of formation is profound and profound. You might as well understand it in advance. What the sect teaches is only the basics of the basics. It doesn't even count as an introduction. If you want to become a true formation master, the difficulty and effort required are the same as those of you now." Unimaginable…”

A few days later, in the evening, Mo Hua finished his day's class and was studying the solid soil formation behind closed doors with his disciple Curie, when he suddenly heard someone knocking on the door.

Yan Jiaoxi glanced at it and recognized it. He was surprised and said: "This is the solid earth formation." Then he looked at the ink painting and said:

“It’s too early for you to see it now. This is not something you can draw now.”

Mo Hua finally took out the formation map of the Solid Earth Formation.

Sure enough, two days later, Mo Hua heard that several disciples in the Qi Refining Stage had stolen the golden pheasant raised by the elder, plucked the feathers, and roasted and ate them.

 Yan Jiaoxi was in high spirits. He had been teaching basic formation patterns on weekdays, which was somewhat boring. Now it was rare to be able to talk about some decent formations, and his interest was obviously much higher.

 The meat of the soul meat will be a little more delicate, but cooking also requires some effort.

 The painting method of formation patterns is somewhat similar to that of calligraphy. In addition to the standard formation patterns, there are also some more distinctive formation patterns, and the brushwork is somewhat different.

Yan Jiaoxi paused and then said:

The formation patterns of the Solid Earth Formation are something I have never learned before in Mo Hua. They are much more complicated than the basic earth element formation patterns of the sect, and it is more difficult to understand.

　　"This...couldn't be stolen from somewhere..."

 Professor Zongmen’s earth-type formation pattern is very basic, and it is certainly not difficult for Mo Hua. What Mo Hua wants to ask is actually something else.

 Because the food in the monastic world is difficult to process, for example, the texture of meat is very tough, and some meat, such as the meat of herbivorous monsters, cannot be cooked at all without expending a lot of spiritual energy to activate the flames and steaming for a long time.

Having been fumbling about ink painting for more than ten days, I still have no clue. Sometimes I seem to understand, but I still make mistakes when I write.

“At the same time, you must not be too ambitious and blindly draw formations that you cannot master. It’s okay if you just look at it, but when you actually start painting, your consciousness will be exhausted easily. You must remember this!”

Mo Hua saluted and said: "Disciple has been taught!"
