Chapter 41 Visit
Master Luo is a first-grade formation master and rejected the request of Yan Teaching.
Teacher Yan could only settle for the second best, and found some formation masters who had not yet been studying the formation for many years, and asked them to collect ink paintings as disciples.
But some directly refused, some pushed three or four, and some agreed, but the request was too outrageous. Once they agreed, the ink painting could only be regarded as a tool and a puppet for life, without any freedom, which is no different from selling oneself.
The teacher of Yan has been wandering around for many days, but still has no results. He returned to his residence and sat alone and sighed alone.
He will leave in a few days, and there is not much time left. If he cannot find a suitable gentleman, he may delay the progress of the ink painting practice formation.
After thinking about it, Yan Teach thought about it, and finally he seemed to have made up his mind. He sealed the ink painting test paper and put it in the storage bag separately.
In the evening, Master Yan left Tongxian City and walked straight to the southeast outside Tongxian City.
There is a mountain peak in the southeast of Tongxian City, which is beautiful and secluded, with magnificent scenery and a secluded atmosphere. There is a mountain residence in the mountains, with no plaques or doors. There is only a small mountain road leading to the mansion.
Teacher Yan stood at the foot of the mountain, and after a long time he heard a thin voice in his ears:
"please."
This sound seemed to be in my ears, and it seemed to echo in the sea of ??consciousness.
Yan Zhixi''s expression became more and more humble. He lowered his Taoist robe, patted the storage bag around his waist, and stepped up the mountain with a firm expression.
As for Mo Hua, he planned to drop out of Tongxianmen.
The ink painting itself is an outer disciple, and its relationship with the sect is just a simple interest relationship in the cultivation of flower spirit stone. There is a little bit of emotion, but this emotion is not much.
Especially since Teacher Yan is leaving, the outer door will no longer teach the formation, and the ink painting will be meaningless.
His spiritual roots are destined to not be too strong in spiritual power and his cultivation speed will not be too fast.
Other content taught by the sect, such as body refining, alchemy, weapon refining, talisman making, etc., is a bit useless for ink paintings. It is useless to learn it, and it is a pity to abandon it.
The only thing you want to learn ink painting and have the prospect of practicing Taoism is the formation.
But among the outer sects, except for the Liang Teaching, Mo Hua didn’t think anyone else could teach him the formation.
Dahu and the other two are about to drop out of school.
But they dropped out of school not because of teaching, but because their families were poor and could not afford the sect''s sect''s sect''s expenses and the various new fees.
According to Mo Hua, the old leader abdicated in a few months and no longer involved in the specific affairs of the sect. Therefore, in the sect, Elder Qian has the final say, in other words, the Qian family has the final say.
The Qian family plans to reform the sect, and there are many ways to reform, but the core point is to collect more spirit stones.
Whether it is homework such as alchemy, weapon refining or talismans, I used to teach only the most basic things, and now I can teach advanced things, but I need to collect additional spirit stones.
Including the inheritance fee of the previous martial arts, it was also an additional increase from Elder Qian''s statement that "the inheritance of the sect is difficult to obtain, and the inheritance is paid."
After the Qian family reform, some families, or wealthy disciples, spent more spirit stones to learn better inheritance.
But the lower-level monks among the outer disciples, especially some casual cultivators, basically cannot learn much, and they have to pay more spiritual stones as a sect sect sect than before.
In this way, the disciples of casual cultivators have no other choice than to drop out of school.
In this way, through reform, Tongxianmen gradually eliminated the poor disciples at the bottom of the class based on the family background of the monks. These disciples of the low-level casual cultivators can no longer go to the sect to practice. In the future, they can only seek more blessings.
Mo Hua told her parents about her plan to drop out of school. Mo Shan didn''t agree, but he knew there was nothing he could do. This was not Mo Hua''s own business, but the affairs of the entire casual cultivator at the bottom of Tongxian City.
Liu Ruhua doesn''t care. She knows Mo Hua is hard-working and has an idea in her heart. Since he decided to drop out of school, he must be unable to learn anything in the sect, so she didn''t say anything.
The restaurant business is good now, and even if her son does nothing at home, she can fully afford it.
In this way, the ink painting with three layers of Qi refining dropped out of Tongxianmen.
Mo Hua went to the sect to simply go through the postgraduate procedures, and also received the half-year refund of the sect, about fifty or sixty spirit stones.
After dropping out of school, the biggest problem is the exercises.
Moshan agreed to follow the path of the demon hunter and ask if there are any techniques suitable for practicing ink painting, but it will take a little time.
The other problem is the formation.
Without the teachings of the sect, ink painting can only be learned by yourself, and then you may find a formation master to become a disciple. But Mo Hua also knows that it is difficult for a casual cultivator to become a master. Not all formation masters are as broad-minded as Yan Teaching, and are willing to teach.
Mo Hua wants to take the time to visit Xia Zhiyan. Thank you for your careful teaching during this period. But he didn''t know where Teacher Yan lived, just when he wanted to go to Manager Mo to inquire, Teacher Yan found him.
After not seeing each other for a few days, Yan Xuexi looked a little tired, as if he was running around for something.
Mo Hua respectfully saluted Teacher Yan. Teacher Yan nodded and asked, "Do you still want to learn the formation?"
Mo Hua nodded.
Teacher Yan looked at Mo Hua with approval, and then said, "Come with me."
Ink painting followed Teacher Yan to a mountain in the southeast outside Tongxian City.
Mo Hua remembered that Dahu and the others said that the mountain here seemed to have been bought by someone to use it to practice seclusion and prevent monks from coming and going.
There are no monsters in this mountain, nor are there any precious spiritual herbs, let alone spiritual mines. The only benefit is that the scenery is beautiful and the environment is quiet.
There are many casual cultivators in Tongxian City, who are tired and do not miss the mountain scenery, so ordinary monks rarely come here.
Teacher Yan brought Mo Hua to the foot of the mountain and said, "There is a secluded gentleman living on this mountain. I met by chance. I wouldn''t come to disturb him on weekdays, but I''ll leave in a few days, so I''ll take you to see him."
"Does this gentleman know the formation?"
Teacher Yan nodded, "Yes, this gentleman has a very high attainment in formation."
"Is he a first-grade formation master?" Mo Hua asked curiously.
"I don''t know what grade you have, but at least it''s the first grade."
Ink painting is in awe.
The first-grade formation master is already amazing. If he is above the first grade, Mo Hua dares not think about it.
But Mo Hua was curious and didn''t know what the formation of first grade or above is like...
Is it really like the rumors that there is the power of stealing fortune and changing the world?
"Why does this gentleman live in such a remote place? Do you don''t like the noise?" Mo Hua asked again.
"The gentleman is a weak person by nature and does not like mundane things, so he does not want to be disturbed by others. Few people will come to this mountain."
Teacher Yan looked at the ink painting and said, "You have guessed why I brought you here."
Mo Hua nodded and said, "Is it to let this gentleman accept me as a disciple?"
Teacher Yan nodded, "You guessed it well. I don''t have much to teach you, so I hope you can give me some advice."
"You have taught me a lot." Mo Hua said gratefully.
"What I can teach you is far less than this gentleman."
"But…"
Teacher Yan shook his head, "You are still young and don''t understand very well. The more you see in the future, the more you will know that the vastness and depth of the formation is far from what a mere qi cultivation or even a foundation-building monk can comprehend. You have extraordinary spiritual consciousness, good understanding, and diligent. You are a good seedling for learning formations, so you must cherish this rare talent and never let down your talents."
"I will take you to visit today, hoping that you can join this gentleman''s disciple. He is indifferent and unwilling to accept disciples. It is also good for you to be a registered disciple. Even if you only learn a little bit of fur, you can go further on the road of formation."
Teacher Yan pointed forward and saw a mountain road ahead, which stretched to the mountainside. The mountainside was covered with clouds and mist. What was located in the clouds was a simple but mysterious courtyard gate.
Teacher Yan asked: "You go up the mountain by yourself, and your attitude should be respectful. If you ask you what you want, you can answer truthfully. If he accepts you as a disciple, it is your blessing. If you don''t accept it, you don''t need to be discouraged. It''s just that the blessing has not come."
Mo Hua nodded seriously, and then couldn''t help but look at Teacher Yan.
“Teaching…”
"Go." Teacher Yan stopped saying anything, just waved his hand.
Mo Hua hesitated for a while, and finally took a small step and walked firmly towards the mountain.
