Chapter 6 Spiritual Stone

Mo Hua thought for a while in the room. After Mo Shan and Liu Ruhua finished talking and changed into homely clothes, he pretended not to know anything and walked out of the room happily.

The family of three was eating. Mo Shan had already eaten, so Mo Hua kept pestering him about interesting things about hunting monsters.

Mo Shan picked and talked about a wolf with one eye, a tiger with two heads, and a wild boar with three legs.

Some teams hunted an adult demon beast, but failed to take the demon elixir and peeled away some worthless fur. When they finally realized that they went back, the demon elixir had been taken away by others. The captain regretted it so much that he directly Vomited blood and fainted.

Someone also caught a strange beast of ancient bloodline, and was directly bought by a large sect at a high price. From then on, he had no worries about food and clothing, but one day, the other person completely disappeared again...

Mo Hua listened with great interest and knew that there must be blood, danger and cruelty in these stories, but his father deliberately omitted them.

 Parents always don’t want their children to know the cruel reality and have a simple and happy childhood.

After Mo Hua heard the story, three little heads popped out of the door. Their dark eyes looked into the house. When they saw Mo Shan and Liu Ruhua at home, they all stood up and said hello:

 “Hello Uncle Mo, hello Aunt Liu!”

Three children named Meng live on the same street, and their families also make a living by hunting monsters.

The elders of Meng's family have a relationship with Mo Shan and live close to each other, so Mo Hua has played with them since he was a child. The three of them have similar names. According to the order of birth, they are called Meng Dahu, Meng Shuanghu and Meng Xiaohu.

Among the monsters near Tongxian City, tiger monsters are the most powerful. Naming children "tiger" is also a hope that they will have tiger-like strength and majesty in the future.

 The three children are indeed as their names suggest, and they look like tigers with tough heads.

Mo Hua was the youngest and was frail and sick when he was born. Mo Shan felt that it was unlikely that he would grow up to be like a tiger. Seeing that he was as handsome and fair as a porcelain doll, Mo Shan named him after his wife Liu Ru Hua. The word "painting" means ink painting.

Liu Ruhua saw three children and took a bun for each of them. The three children said they didn't want it, but they couldn't help but stretched out their hands, took the bun and stuffed it into their mouths. They puffed up their cheeks and said, "Thank you Niu (Liu) Aunt!"

Liu Ruhua’s cooking skills are the best in the neighborhood, and the three children are envious of Mo Hua.

Mo Shan waved his hand, "You guys go play together and remember to come back for lunch!"

Mo Hua and the three children nodded in agreement and ran out of the door.

Of the three children of the Meng family, the eldest tiger is honest and honest, the two tigers are smart, and the little tiger is a talkative one. All three of them are older and taller than Mo Hua. They usually play with Mo Hua.

Dashu and the other three kept talking along the way, where dragon lanterns were danced, where fireworks were set off, where there were many people, and where there were dancing little girls...

 But I talked too much and didn’t know where to go for fun.

 At the end of the discussion, only the adults chose, and the children wanted all of them. They all went shopping!

The new year is approaching, the disciples who are studying in the sect are on holiday, and the monks who are making a living outside are going home. Tongxian City is much more lively than usual, and the crowds on the streets are also denser.

Some physical practitioners in the Qi refining period show off their martial arts skills, wielding swords and guns, while spiritual practitioners perform some useless but fancy spells, making children envious and amazed;

Those who can practice the art of weapon refining make some small toys, wooden rabbits, puppies, kittens, etc. that can run on the ground with just a little bit of spiritual power, and all kinds of other things that make people dizzy.

Dahu, Shuanghu and Xiaohu had a great time. Everything they saw felt new and they screamed excitedly. While Mo Hua was playing and watching, he was mentally paying attention to any ways to earn spiritual stones on the street.

Looking around, I finally found that most of the things that can earn spiritual stones have been done by people. For those things that no one has done, Mo Hua is not able to do them now.

Looking at a group of monks performing hard and shouting on the street, Mo Hua sighed in his heart that making a living is indeed not an easy task.

Shuanghu was not very happy when he saw the ink painting, so he asked: "Mo Hua, are you worried?"

When Dahu heard this, he immediately said: "Is someone bullying you? I'll beat him up!"

 Xiaohu also nodded repeatedly, "Beat him! Beat him up!"

The elders of the Meng family have told the three of them to take care of the frail Mo Hua since they were young. In addition, Liu Ruhua made delicious food and would specially leave a portion for the three children.

The three children were both kind and loyal. Whenever someone wanted to bully Mo Hua, they would roll up their sleeves and rush up to fight with them without saying a word.

Mo Hua is recognized as the smartest among the casual practitioners in the neighborhood. Sometimes when the teacher assigns homework and they don’t understand something, they will come and ask Mo Hua, so the relationship between the children is very good.

Mo Hua saw that they were eager to try and fight with others, and he felt a little dumbfounded and said:

“No one bullied me, I was just wondering if I could earn some spiritual stones.” Earn spiritual stones...

Dahu and the other three were also worried, and they didn’t know much about it.

 They can help with fighting, but there is nothing they can do to earn spiritual stones.

Mo Hua was moved in his heart and asked again:

“Then do you know how the formation master earns spiritual stones?”

The world of monasticism is vast, and ink painting is just about practicing and drawing formations every day. The things you come into contact with are limited, and you have no way of understanding many things. He only knew that by becoming an array master, he would not have to worry about food and clothing, but he really didn't know how ordinary array masters, especially low-level apprentices, earned spiritual stones.

Dahu and the three of them often play around, maybe they know something that Mo Hua doesn't know.

Dahu thought for a while, shook his head and said: "The assessment of the formation master's qualification is very difficult. There is not a first-class formation master in our neighborhood, and I don't know very well..."

"Not to mention our neighborhood, even the entire Tongxian City, there are not many formation masters, and there are even fewer who can truly pass the qualification to become a first-class formation master. A distant uncle of our Meng family studies formations every day, and passed the exam I haven’t been admitted to the first rank of formation master in twenty years..." Xiaohu shook his head and said in a stunned tone.

"You heard wrong. Uncle Meng is just an apprentice of formations. He wants to have a formation master as his teacher so that he can learn the formations. But when others ask him questions and he can't answer them, they confiscate them."

Shuanghu curled his lips and said, then he clasped his fingers and counted:

"Apprentice, ordinary formation master, first-grade formation master...Uncle Meng is not going to finalize the product. The one who can do it is already a well-known formation master. He is still far away from the final product!"

Mo Hua asked curiously: "Then what does he do for a living?"

“I heard that you can help the trading company draw some simple formations, and then earn some spiritual stones, and then use the spiritual stones to buy pen and ink, and then practice the formations, and then you can’t become a teacher, so you can help the trading company draw formations again..."

 “Is it a trading company...”

"Yes, I heard that even if you can't be ranked as a top-grade formation master, you can just be an ordinary formation master and draw formations for a merchant, you can still earn a lot of spiritual stones, and you won't have to worry about food and drink."

Shuanghu said, and then asked Mo Hua:

“Mo Hua, do you want to be a formation master?”

"Well," Mo Hua didn't hide anything, "I'm too weak to be a monster hunter. If a monster slaps me on the claw, half of my life will probably be lost. I have to find a way to make a living. But. It’s too far to say this now, I’ll see if I can earn some spiritual stones first, and if I can, I’ll treat you to cakes!”

When Dahu and the other three heard this, they all became happy instantly.

"Yeah!"

"You are so smart, you will definitely earn spiritual stones, and you can also become an array master in the future!"

 “Pastry, pastry!”

 Children from ordinary casual cultivator families rarely get to eat even ordinary pastries on the roadside.

A few people walked around again. Except for the beautiful little girl, they all walked around. It was almost noon, and everyone went home to eat with satisfaction.

After lunch, Mo Hua told his parents to go out for fun, and then went to the North Street of Tongxian City alone.

The North Street of Tongxian City is prosperous and the South Street is bustling.

There are many markets on South Street, which are mainly hawker stalls, while on North Street there are many businesses, selling all kinds of magic spells and elixirs. The things they sell are more formal, of better quality, and of course more expensive.

But Mo Hua is not here to buy anything, and he doesn’t have the spirit stone either.

Mo Hua walked from the street to the end of the street, looked at all the shops, and then found a shop with a formation hanging outside the door, but the facade was the shabbiest and simplest, and the business was the deserted, and went in.
