Chapter 14 Ji Qingbai


    Mo Shan didn''t know why Ji Qingbai suddenly asked this and nodded, "Brother Ji said it well. Huaer is practicing in Tongxian Sect, and now he is practicing the second level of Qi Refining."


    Ji Qingbai was a little unbelievable, "Can you draw a formation by the second level of Qi refining?"


    Mo Shan said: "It shouldn''t be that I just learned some basic skills in the sect and copied a few strokes."


    "Brother Mo is humble, and it''s already amazing. The few strokes just now are quite good, which shows that the child Mo Hua is talented."


    Mo Shan smiled and said, "If this is the case, then I will borrow the auspicious words from my elder brother."


    Ji Qingbai sighed and said, "Among us demon hunters, not to mention formation masters, not to mention formation masters, not many of them can roughly understand formations, and draw several formation patterns. A few years ago, I went to ask a formation master to help him draw a dot formation. I was so angry that I had to smile at him, for fear of offending him."


    Ji Qingbai became more and more angry the more he thought about it. "It''s just a small formation. Not only did the lion speak loudly, but he asked for two hundred spirit stones, but he also wanted a niece to accompany him to have dinner and toast him. If it were in the Great Heishan Mountain, I really wished I could slash him with one knife!"


    Mo Shan''s face also darkened, "Is he so unreasonable?"


    "Isn''t that true, but what can I do?" Ji Qingbai sighed, "We don''t know how to form formations, and the younger generations don''t learn them. Once there is something wrong, they can only put their faces down and beg those family formation masters. They are arrogant, and we have to smile."


    "Brother Mo," Ji Qingbai looked at Mo Shan and said solemnly, "If Mo Hua is really willing to learn the formation, he must let him continue to learn. If there is any difficulty, come to me, as long as I can do it, I will definitely be obliged!"


    "Brother Ji, the words are serious! If the child Mo Hua really wants to learn, I will definitely let him continue to learn." Mo Shan said with a serious expression.


    Ji Qingbai nodded.


    The two chatted for a while and discussed some matters about hunting monsters, and Ji Qingbai said goodbye.


    Mo Shan sent Ji Qingbai and his son to the door.


    After Ji Qingbai left, he took his son to his senior''s house on the west side of South Street to settle down.


    On the way, Ji Qingbai told his son Ji Li and said:


    "In our Qingxuan City, it is getting harder to hunt monsters, so this time I come to find your Uncle Mo and go to the inner mountain of Daheishan Mountain together. You have a good talent and have the seventh level of Qi Refining, so let''s go with you to learn more. But if you are hunting monsters, you, Uncle Mo and others, don''t interfere easily unless you have to."


    Ji Li said, "Dad, I know."


    "I know you know, but you are still young after all, and you don''t understand enough. Things like monsters are the most ruthless and cunning. You have the lowest cultivation level, and it''s okay if you don''t take action. Once you take action, you will see the flaws and you will suffer a huge loss."


    Ji Li nodded, and then said curiously: "Dad, is Uncle Mo''s cultivation powerful?"


    "That''s natural. Your Uncle Mo is the most talented demon hunter I have ever seen in so many years. He has good talent, quick reactions, and rich experience in monster hunting. It''s a pity. A casual cultivator like us, who starts a family and starts a career, and has children, and they can cultivate all the spirit stones they have saved for the children to practice, so fewer people can practice by themselves..."


    Ji Qingbai sighed and continued, "Otherwise, with his qualifications, he will continue to practice and become a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage."


    Ji Li was silent for a moment. His father could continue to improve his cultivation, but the spirit stones he earned later were also provided to him for cultivation.


    Speaking of the monks in the Foundation Establishment Stage, Ji Li asked in a low voice: "Grandpa Zheng''s body..."


    "It''s almost gone," Ji Qingbai looked lonely. "Uncle Zheng is the only foundation-building elder in our demon hunting tour in Qingxuan City. If he is gone, we casual cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage will probably be bullied by those families again. Life will be getting harder and harder in the future..."


    "Is there any foundation-building elder in Tongxian City?"


    "Yes, his surname is Yu, he has a bad temper, but he also protects his shortcomings. The demon hunting business in Tongxian City relies on him to support the table, and several families dare not do too much. If it really doesn''t work in the future, you can go to Tongxian City and find a Taoist partner, and settle down here, so I feel at ease."


    Ji Li was young and blushed a little, "Dad, it''s too early to say this."


    Ji Qingbai smiled and said, "It''s getting late. You have to plan this kind of thing early."


    Ji Li thought about changing the topic and asked, "Can the little brother from Uncle Mo''s family, Mo Hua, really be a formation master?" "I don''t know," Ji Qingbai frowned, "It''s not easy to be a formation master. From an apprentice to an unqualified formation master, you can finally be a first-grade formation master."


    "First of all, this apprentice is not easy to be a disciple. We casual cultivators have no inheritance. If you want to learn formations, you have to find a special formation master to be your teacher." Ji Qingbai said.


    "Don''t the sect also have formations?" Ji Li asked.


    "It''s far from it," said Ji Qingbai. "The sects are just the superficial things, to let you know that there is a formation, not to let you be a formation master."


    Ji Li was shocked. When he was learning formations in the sect, he felt it was hard to die. It turned out that this was just the superficial.


    "It''s not that easy to find a formation master to be a teacher? Which of those formation masters is not overly high and has a higher threshold than the sky. I wouldn''t ask them to accept apprentices and pay their family''s assets enough."


    Ji Qingbai was angry when he mentioned this, "The formation is so difficult. Without inheritance and without teacher teaching, how could he learn it?"


    Ji Qingbai couldn''t help but shake his head.


    Ji Li asked, "Can you become a formation master if you become an apprentice?"


    "Addressing is just the beginning. You have to stay up for a long time, keep learning and practicing, so that you can slowly improve your level and become a formation master. This is just a non-level. You have to endure and learn again, and be famous, you are qualified to be a fixed grade. The fixed grade is determined by the Daoting himself, and that is another big threshold... Some formation masters can be determined to death."


    Ji Li''s scalp was already numb when he heard this, and he couldn''t help but say, "Brother Mo, can he really be a formation master?"


    "Hope," Ji Qingbai sighed, "Just think I''m delusional, I still have hope."


    Mo Hua went back to continue painting the open fire array. After a few days, he finished painting the open fire array. This time he became much more skilled, and nine out of ten mates were successful, and he could earn eight spirit stones.


    On the last day before the New Year, Mo Hua went to Youyuanzhai again and found the fat manager to change the spirit stone.


    The fat manager was quite satisfied after reading the formation delivered by Mo Hua.


    "That''s right. Since you have been worshipped by sir and become an apprentice, you should draw to this level!"


    During the settlement, the fat manager gave Mo Hua ten spirit stones, and the other two were given. "This is a New Year''s Day gift. Although there are not many, it''s a joyful celebration!"


    There are not many things for fat managers, but there are quite a lot for ink paintings.


    Ink painting was very happy, so he picked up some auspicious words like "I wish the manager to become bigger and stronger and create more glory."


    Fat manager nodded with joy.


    The next day was New Year''s Eve, and the Mohua family of three had a lively New Year.


    The customs of the Chinese New Year in the world are similar to those of the memory of ink painting in another world, but also somewhat different.


    For example, although Spring Festival couplets are pasted, the characters on the Spring Festival couplets will glow, the cloud patterns on the character "Fu" will float, and the Qilin and auspicious beasts on the New Year pictures will stare at you with wide eyes, and sometimes sneer at you, which is very novel.


    The New Year’s Eve dinner is also the most hearty one in the year. There will be a little meat and you can eat enough delicacies you can’t eat normally.


    Mo Hua had a very happy New Year. After playing with her friends for a few days after the New Year, she continued to paint a formation for Youyuanzhai.


    With the efforts of day and night, the ink painting can draw the array diagram of the open fire array with its eyes closed. It only takes three days to draw ten sub-array diagrams, and the success rate remains above 90%.


    In this way, until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the day before Tongxianmen entered school, Ink Painting had earned nearly fifty spirit stones.


    After dinner, Mo Hua packed up the ceremony of entering the sect to practice tomorrow, while Mo Shan and Liu Ruhua discussed Shu Xiu''s affairs.
