Chapter 29 The stove


    The shopkeeper went upstairs and came down soon. He politely asked Mo Hua to go upstairs.


    When Mo Hua saw An Xiaopang, An Xiaopang was drinking with a few young men in bright clothes and angry horses. There were various colors of fresh and tender fruits on the table, including maids waving fans, fragrant wind, and singing songs, with lingering sounds lingering on the beams.


    The interior is cool and comfortable, without the heat of summer. The screen is also carved with ice-based formations for cooling and ventilation.


    Mo Hua felt emotion in his heart when he thought of the casual cultivator who set up a stall on the street to do business in the scorching heat and was busy making a living.


    They are obviously cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage, living in one Tongxian City, but they feel like living in two worlds.


    "Ink painting, it''s really you!"


    An Xiaopang was a little happy when he saw Mo Hua, and waved his hand and said, "Come on, let''s have some drinks together."


    An Xiaopang''s face turned red when he drank, but he was not old and should be drinking fruit wine. Even if he was drunk, it would not be too harmful to his health.


    Mo Hua didn''t have the heart to drink and said directly: "Young Master An, I have something to ask you for trouble."


    "Oh," An Xiaopang came back to his senses and waved to the other teenagers, "You drink first, I have something to do."


    Later, the shopkeeper led Mo Hua and An Xiaopang to a quiet private room. Mo Hua straight to the point, "Young Master An, I want to ask you for help."


    An Xiaopang was obviously a little drunk and patted his chest and said, "As long as I can help, just speak!"


    Mo Hua looked at the magnificent decoration in the private room and asked, "This kitchen building is opened by your family."


    An Xiaopang said proudly: "Yes!"


    "Do you use the stove to cook in the kitchen or use the spiritual power of monks to provide fire?"


    An Xiaopang looked confused. After thinking for a while, he had no clue at all, and then shouted, "Shopkeeper!"


    After a while, the shopkeeper pushed the door in, An Xiaopang pointed at the shopkeeper and said to Mo Hua, "Ask him."


    Mo Hua asked the shopkeeper again as he said just now.


    The shopkeeper replied: "It was originally used to use the spiritual power of the monk to provide fire, but this method can easily damage the heart and lungs of the monks, and the fire supply is not stable, so the boss decided not to use it. Last year, he asked the weapon refiner to specially refine a stove, and asked the formation master to draw the formation. Since then, he has been using the stove."


    Mo Hua said curiously: "Is the cost of a stove higher than hiring a monk?"


    The shopkeeper said truthfully: "In the long term, the stove is better, and hiring a monk in the short term will definitely be more cost-effective. Moreover, hiring a monk can reduce the price. Sometimes the market is not good, and a half-spirited stone can be hired to hire a casual cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage."


    Mo Hua felt a little uncomfortable.


    Even if you become a monk, you will still be exploited.


    "Can I go and see the stove?"


    The shopkeeper hesitated for a moment and looked at Young Master An. He couldn''t make decisions about such things. Normally, outsiders would not allow outsiders to enter the kitchen.


    An Xiaopang was a little awake and asked the shopkeeper, "Can you not show this to others?"


    The shopkeeper said: "The recipe is counted. In fact, there are many kitchens with stoves. What is not there is just because you don''t want to refine the flower spirit stone, so it''s not a secret."


    An Xiaopang said, "Then let''s take a look. I''ll go there too. I haven''t seen that stove once."


    "Okay, I''ll take the two young masters here."


    The shopkeeper breathed a sigh of relief. With Young Master An following, he would not blame him for any incident.


    The shopkeeper brought Mo Hua and the other two to the kitchen, pointed to a huge stove-like utensil that was two people tall and said, "This is the stove. After putting the spirit stones, the formation in the stove will turn the spirit stones into firepower, and the firepower will extend to each stove for the monks to cook ingredients."


    "There are also formations connected between the stove and each stove, and each stove has a special formation to control the size of the firepower..."


    Mo Hua thought it was very novel. It was the first time he saw that refining weapons and formations could be used in this way.


    An Xiaopang also widened his eyes. He only knew how to eat, but he didn''t know how those foods were made.


    The shopkeeper introduced to Mo Hua and his two, looking quite proud. Mo Hua looked at the stove carefully, looked left and right, and did not let go of the gap between the stove mouth and the stove.


    The shopkeeper saw him and wanted to **** the stove to see what was inside, and couldn''t help but say, "Does Mr. Mo want to know something?"


    Mo Hua asked, "Shopkeeper, do you know what formations are engraved in the stove?"


    The shopkeeper hesitated for a while, but after thinking about it, it was useless to know which formations were used. The most important thing was whether they could draw them. The formations were not so easy to draw.


    "The formation in this stove is not complicated. There is only a molten array containing five array patterns. However, the position of the molten array is more particular. It should be drawn at the bottom of the stove so that the firepower will be even. A gap should be left outside the stove and a spirit stone should be placed so that the spiritual energy of the spirit stone will seep into the molten array and stimulate the firepower of the formation..."


    The shopkeeper talked to Mo Hua in all his heart.


    "Oh," Mo Hua nodded uncontrollably.


    After watching this, I chatted for a long time. Mo Hua asked about what he wanted to know, thanked the shopkeeper sincerely, and then said goodbye.


    An Xiaopang pulled Mo Hua and said, "Don''t leave in a hurry, I''ll treat you to something delicious."


    Ink painting still has something to do, so I didn’t agree.


    "Do you don''t give face?" An Xiaopang was a little angry.


    Mo Hua praised An Xiaopang, said he was generous, and then quietly said to An Xiaopang, "Next time I will teach you how to arrange the formation homework, I will help you draw for free."


    An Xiaopang was overjoyed and nodded quickly: "Yeah."


    He doesn’t care about spirit stones, he cares about face. Ink painting can help him draw formations for free, and he feels bright.


    The shopkeeper looked at Mo Hua''s leaving back and asked An Xiaopang, "Young Master, what is this Mr. Mo''s identity?"


    "I am my fellow disciple of the young master. The formation is very well drawn, even better than me. To be honest, he helped me draw all my formation homework!"


    An Xiaopang was even a little proud.


    The shopkeeper was expressionless and speechless. There was nothing to be proud of...


    "Shopkeeper, go and do your business, I''ve gone to drink."


    After saying that, An Xiaopang turned around and was about to leave, he was suddenly startled, grabbed the shopkeeper''s sleeve, and stared at him blankly.


    The shopkeeper was a little nervous when he saw it, "Young Master..."


    An Xiaopang said in a whisper: "My father must not know about this!"


    "This matter?"


    "My homework was done by others for me, so I must not let my father know about this!"


    The shopkeeper twitched, "Okay, okay..."


    An Xiaopang patted his chest, "It''s so dangerous, but fortunately I''m smart, otherwise I''ll be exposed." Then he asked the shopkeeper to swear that he would not tell his father, so he would be relieved to go upstairs.


    The shopkeeper was helpless and thought to himself: "Can the unreliable young master protect the family business of An''s family by relying on this unreliable young master..."


    The shopkeeper thought of the child named Mo just now.


    It seems that he is not a rich child, but a child of an ordinary monk. I wonder what he asks about the stove.


    The shopkeeper took a few steps and remembered Young Master An''s words, and suddenly stopped, "Good drawing of the formation? He doesn''t want to draw the formation of the stove, right?"


    "Young Master An is in the third level of Qi Refining, and is the same as the child named Mo. In other words, the child is at most only the third level of Qi Refining. Where can the spiritual consciousness be used to draw the formation?"


    The shopkeeper shook his head and went to find a place to have tea.
