Chapter 225 Taoist Heart


    After seeing the fireworks, Aunt Xue thanked Mo Hua, then said goodbye to the Moshan couple, and then took Bai Zisheng and Bai Zixi back.


    Mo Shan had an appointment with several brothers from the demon hunting team and wanted to drink together.


    Liu Ruhua went to see the lanterns with Aunt Jiang and tried several newly opened dim sum shops.


    The fireworks in the sky are still on the spot, and the ink painting can only go shopping alone.


    As he was walking around, Mo Hua suddenly felt something. When he looked up, he found that Elder Yu was also sitting alone on the roof, drinking alone.


    The ink painting shows its lapse of water, sticking vertically to the wall, and step by step to the roof.


    Elder Yu''s eyes lit up when he saw Mo Hua, and he patted the tiles beside him, "Come on, sit here and have a drink together."


    Mo Hua sat down next to Elder Yu, took out the fruit wine from the storage bag, and cried a glass with Elder Yu.


    Elder Yu’s wine is a strong wine, full of spicy taste.


    The wine in Mohua is sweet and can be drunk as much as you want.


    The fruit wine entered his throat, sweet and aftertasteful. Mo Hua couldn''t help but shake his head, turned his head to look at Elder Yu, and couldn''t help asking:


    "Elder, are you alone?"


    "What''s wrong with being alone?"


    "Looking at a little lonely..." Mo Hua said sympathetically.


    Elder Yu raised his eyebrows, sighed, and looked into the distance and said, "I am happy, so I came up alone to drink a drink."


    Mo Hua nodded, just be happy, as long as it is not desolate.


    Mo Hua thought for a while and suddenly asked, "Elder, is it difficult to become a foundation-building monk?"


    "What, do you want to build a foundation?" Elder Yu was a little surprised.


    "It''s still early, I''ll ask first." Mo Hua said with a shy smile.


    He is now at the sixth level of Qi refining, and he has not yet reached the late stage of Qi refining, and there is indeed some time left before foundation building.


    "Is it difficult to build the foundation? It''s not easy to say it''s difficult, and it''s not easy to say it''s simple."


    "Elder, please be honest."


    Elder Yu choked for a moment and stopped keeping it. He said directly:


    "There are actually only two difficulties in building a foundation, one is the spiritual root, and the other is the spiritual stone..."


    "There is no need to say much about the spiritual roots. The spiritual roots are good, the spiritual power is deep, and it is easier to break through. Not to mention the spiritual stones. Cultivation without spiritual stones is a problem, let alone foundation building."


    "Are there any spiritual objects?" Mo Hua asked.


    "Most spiritual objects need to be bought with spirit stones. At least the spiritual objects that ordinary monks need to practice can be purchased with spirit stones." Elder Yu said.


    Mo Hua nodded, "So in the final analysis, it''s still the issue of spirit stone."


    Elder Yu nodded and said, "Not bad."


    "If the spiritual roots are not bad and the spiritual stones are not short of, will it be possible to build a foundation?"


    "It''s hard to say about things in this world. Everything will always be unexpected, but as long as you don''t have any spiritual stones, there is a high probability that the foundation will be built."


    Elder Yu took a sip of wine and continued, "Prepare the spirit stones and gather all the spirit objects. If you fail once, you will do it again. There will always be success. As long as you succeed once, you will be a foundation-building cultivator."


    Mo Hua frowned, "It doesn''t sound difficult..."


    "The practice of Taoism begins with qi cultivation. Although foundation building is higher than that, it only takes one more step than qi cultivation. Later, starting from the Golden Elixir Realm, it is difficult to make one step more, and the requirements for spiritual roots, talents, understanding, and inheritance are very strict."


    Elder Yu sighed, "As for foundation building, it is enough to have spirit stones."


    It is enough to have spirit stones for foundation building, but for the past hundred years, only Elder Yu has successfully built the foundation...


    Mo Hua asked, "Does it take a lot of spirit stones to build the foundation?"


    Elder Yu sighed, "It varies from person to person. If you use cultivation, you will need at least tens of thousands of spiritual stones to buy spiritual objects."


    Mo Hua calculated silently in his heart that an ordinary Qi Refining Cultivator earned a net worth of one spirit stone every day, 360 a year, and it would probably take about 30 years to save more than 10,000 spirit stones.?????Don’t eat or drink or use, I’ll save for thirty years.


    This is just a spirit stone used for a breakthrough. If it fails, all the spirit stones will be consumed and thirty years of hard work will be wasted.


    What''s more, how can a monk not eat or drink, how can he be free from illness or disaster, how can he not encounter sudden events?


    Mo Hua also sighed.


    Elder Yu said bitterly: "The main reason for the inability to build a foundation by casual cultivators is actually poverty."


    "There are many thresholds for practicing Taoism, but poverty is the most desperate threshold."


    "The spiritual roots are not good. At the beginning, you know that this road is not clear, but poverty will first let you see hope and then let you experience despair. Spiritual stones are always a drop in the bucket, and the road is always out of reach."


    Elder Yu''s expression was both melancholy and helpless.


    "Are all the casual cultivators in the world like this?" Mo Hua asked.


    "It''s probably the case." Elder Yu sighed, "In this world of Taoism, there are the most cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage, and the most suffering of cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage. The vast nine provinces are vast and vast. In the future, if you step out of the Black Mountain Realm, you will know that there are many fairy cities that are poorer than Tongxian City, and there are countless cultivators who are more suffering than us demon hunters."


    Mo Hua looked down and silent.


    Elder Yu then realized that he had said a little too much, and he shouldn''t have said these words to his child.


    Elder Yu patted Mo Hua on the shoulder and said, "We can''t control other people''s affairs. At least the casual cultivators in Tongxian City will get better and better in the future. Thanks to you."


    Mo Hua felt a little embarrassed, "I didn''t do anything, I just drew some formations."


    "Formation is the most important." Elder Yu said solemnly, "Without the formation master drawing the formation, even if one of the casual cultivators appears, even if three or four foundation-building, it will be useless. Should everyone be poor or poor, and should be miserable or suffering."


    Mo Hua was stunned for a moment.


    He knew that the formation master had a relatively high status and was difficult to learn. Formation was needed in all aspects of the cultivation world, but it was not more important than three or four foundation-building cultivators, as Elder Yu said.


    Elder Yu saw Mo Hua’s doubts and patiently said to Mo Hua:


    "Qi refining is the bottom layer. Taking a step up is to build the foundation. If you become a foundation-building monk, you will be qualified to seek the great way and you can change your life."


    "I became a foundation-building monk and changed my life, but I couldn''t change the lives of other casual cultivators. I can deal with the Qian family and try my best to prevent the casual cultivators from being bullied, but I can''t actually help them."


    "They are still poor, still suffering, still having difficulty, and still only refining their energy for the rest of their lives. I have only cultivation, and even if I steal and rob, I can''t get many spirit stones."


    "But the formation is different!"


    Elder Yu looked at Mo Hua with bright eyes, "Even if you only have the energy refining, as long as you know the formation, you can truly benefit all the casual cultivators. Let them make a living, earn spirit stones, and go further in their practice."


    "Cultivation can be used to kill animals, but formations can benefit all life!"


    Mo Hua was touched for a moment and nodded, "Elder, I understand."


    Elder Yu nodded with relief, no longer spoke, but quietly looked at the lights of thousands of families in Tongxian City.


    Mo Hua also looked at Elder Yu''s eyes.


    The lanterns hung from the street to the end of the street. Under the lights, the children chased and played, and monks met and saluted or walked together, which was very lively.


    The fireworks in the sky are splendid, the markets are lined up one after another, and the streets are crowded with people.


    The laughter and joy merged into the lights of thousands of homes, and together with the dazzling fireworks in the sky, lit up the entire night sky.


    These lights and bright fireworks of thousands of homes also reflected in the eyes of the ink painting.


    The small ink painting gradually strengthened the heart of Tao:


    In this life, he will work hard to practice, comprehend the formation, ask for immortality with the formation that is clear and thorough, and change his fate against the heavens.


    Change your own destiny and change the destiny of all the monks at the bottom of the world.


    By then, not only Tongxian City, but all the casual cultivators in the world will no longer just refining their energy for life!
