Chapter 922 Tao and quality


    Elder Zheng patiently explained to ink painting.


    Mo Hua nodded slowly, thinking, "Then in this way, may the second-grade formation master activate the third-grade formation?"


    "Theory is this, but the conditions will be more harsh," said Elder Zheng. "First of all, this type of formation must be designed and constructed through ''reducing patterns'' from the beginning to reduce costs and increase efficiency."


    "Secondly, this type of second-grade formation master cannot draw it, at most it can only be used."


    "Because it is a third-grade formation after all, if the realm is not enough, even if it can be used, its effectiveness will be greatly reduced."


    "Again, the rigid requirement for the use of the formation is spiritual consciousness."


    "What level of spiritual consciousness do you have can use? The third-grade formation, even if it reduces patterns, has at least the spiritual consciousness requirements of the peak of foundation building. It is still too difficult for ordinary monks."


    "If you don''t learn formations and practice your spiritual consciousness, most monks, even if they have the cultivation level of the peak foundation building, they will not be able to have the spiritual consciousness of the peak foundation building."


    "So, it is almost impossible to use this third-grade formation in the foundation-building realm. Even if it can be used, the effect of the formation is very weak and does not make much sense."


    "but…"


    Elder Zheng looked at Mo Hua, and after a little thought, he understood Mo Hua''s intention. His eyes lit up and asked:


    "Do you want to try and activate the set of thunder magnetic array disks you got from ''killing and catching treasure''?"


    "I didn''t kill anyone!" Mo Hua emphasized again, "And, it''s not killing people and catching treasures."


    I am a serious monk and generally do not do such unreasonable things.


    Unless it is forced.


    Elder Zheng obviously didn''t care. He pondered for a moment, "Although the conditions for using the pattern reduction formation are harsh, your talent is too good, but unexpectedly it meets the situation..."


    Especially the super level of spiritual consciousness has exceeded the third level, which is really incredible.


    Elder Zheng still feels shocked when he thinks about it.


    Sometimes he even had an impulse to knock on Mo Hua''s head and see what structure was in his mind and why there was a spiritual consciousness at the peak of foundation building in the middle stage of foundation building.


    "The lightning magnet array acts on microscopic lightning magnets, unlike ordinary arrays, do not pay attention to the size of power or the scale of spiritual power. The use of ''reducing patterns'' will not have much impact."


    "However, you only have the second grade after all. Even if you activate the thunder magnetic array disk, you can only activate a little bit. The true thunder magnetic performance cannot exert one or two..."


    Mo Hua nodded, "A little bit is enough."


    He didn''t completely count on the Lei Magnetic Array Disk.


    The thunder magnetic array disk is just a "step-down". His real reliance is the second thunder source pattern derived from the source, which is the "thunder magnetic villain".


    "It''s good that you know it." Elder Zheng said.


    A smart child does not need to be too restricted, and let him learn things by himself. In this way, he will have surprises.


    Of course, it would be even better if this "surprise" could not develop into "shock"...


    Elder Zheng looked at Mo Hua silently, then pondered for a moment, took out a jade slip, moved his spiritual sense slightly, entered some words in it, and handed the jade slip to Mo Hua.


    "I have entered some of my experiences of ''reducing patterns'' into this jade slip. If you have time, I won''t say much about the others."


    Mo Hua was overjoyed, took the jade slip, thanked him, "Thank you, senior!"


    After the formation was finished, the jade slip was obtained, the tea was drunk, and Elder Zheng was about to go back, Mo Hua stood up and said goodbye.


    “Ink painting.”


    Elder Zheng suddenly called him, thinking, as if he had something to say, but he was also worried.


    "Senior, what else is there?" Mo Hua said in confusion.


    Elder Zheng pondered for a moment, sighed, and slowly spoke:


    "The ''reducing pattern'' is not recognized by orthodox formation masters. Most formation masters in the world are seeking a more advanced formation, and they will not lower their own grades and use low-level formations."


    "But you have to know that ''reducing patterns'' itself is not a trick, nor is it a self-reduction posture. It is also a kind of ''Tao'' itself."


    "In this world, low-quality and high-quality are mixed. The same is true for formations, especially large-scale formations, large-scale formations."


    "The formations of first-grade, second-grade, third-grade or even above are coordinated and act together on the formation."


    "Just like in this world, where qi refining, foundation building, golden elixir and even feathering into cave emptiness, they all live together in this world regardless of their realm."


    "The principles of heaven and earth encompass everything, accommodate all things, and help the people."


    "The real big event in the world must be related to the people of the world, and it has profoundly influenced all the monks in this world, from Qi Refining to Cave Void, from Lower to Higher Level."


    "Yuhuadongxu, although his realm is high and his cultivation is strong, he has too much powerlessness based on his own strength."


    "The formation is the same as humans. Sometimes, a simple high-grade formation may not really benefit the people of the world."


    "If you want to form a large formation, you must encompass thousands of formations, regardless of the level of the above."


    "If you want to achieve great things, you must also concentrate all your strength, from refining Qi to dimple in the cave, you must not ignore it."


    Elder Zheng looked at Mo Hua deeply, "This is some gossip, but..."


    "You are so talented, you learn the formation... so fast. I''m afraid that you will keep going up, learn too fast, and get too high, and you will ignore some underlying problems..."


    Mo Hua was stunned and lost his mind.


    He couldn''t help but remember what his mother said to him when he first started learning formations and casting stoves for his mother:


    "Not only the formation masters, but all the monks are the same. When people walk to a high place, they will not look down..."


    When he listened to this, he felt a complicated mood.


    When I think back at this moment, I feel a little alert.


    "Did I forget to look down when I was walking to a high place?"


    Mo Hua frowned.


    Elder Zheng was both surprised and relieved when he saw Mo Hua''s thoughtful look.


    Sure enough, if there is no such thing as Taoist heart, you won’t understand it no matter how you say it, but if you have it, you can get it through with a little touch.


    …


    Farewell to Elder Zheng, returned to his disciple''s residence, Mo Hua sat on the futon and thought deeply.


    Elder Zheng might have just made a quick decision and kindly reminded him, but these words touched him deeply.


    The monk practices Taoism at one level and one level.


    Cultivation, formations, elixirs, refining weapons, talismans, etc. all have "grade levels". The monks follow this set of "grades" and step by step forward.


    Every step you take and every grade you gain, you will be superior.


    Although the realm has its own level and the cultivation level has its own strengths and weaknesses, it seems that people follow certain rules and forcefully define it.


    Master seemed to have mentioned this to himself.


    Grade is a "rule" set by man, and it is the limitation of the Tao, not the Tao itself.


    The monks have been pursuing "grade" all their lives.


    After practicing hard, after crossing the grade, your cultivation level has been enhanced and your skills have been improved, but... have your essence changed?


    High-level monks are humans, but low-level monks are not humans?


    Once the realm is improved, you can be superior. Can you rely on the advantages of your cultivation to ignore, despise, despise, and even exploit, oppress, and slaughter low-level monks?


    More importantly, grade is a rule set by people.


    According to this rule, will the end of "level" really be "Tao"? Can you really become an "immortal"?


    Suspicion arose in Mo Hua''s heart.


    The concept of "grade" was also for the first time in his mind that it showed signs of initial elimination.


    At the same time, he also had a little enlightenment.


    What monks should seek is "Tao", not "Quality".


    Second grade, condensed by first grade.


    Foundation building is achieved through qi cultivation.


    The great way embraces everything, so there is no need to clearly distinguish the grade.


    You cannot only learn high-grade formations and ignore the application of low-grade formations.


    Don’t just pursue high levels and ignore the common people below the higher level.


    Mo Hua thought again: "But the problem is that the ''quality'' of this state seems to be necessary to practice..."


    Although rules are determined by people, they have been passed down for tens of thousands of years and have become an inherent system of practice.


    If you want to practice step by step and gain stronger strength step by step, you must follow this framework.


    With his current cultivation and cognition, he cannot escape.


    He still has to follow the steps and walk towards the high ground step by step.


    The formations range from first to second, from second to third grade... The same is true for cultivation, from refining qi to foundation building, from foundation building to golden elixir, and then eliminating...


    but…


    "If I keep moving upward and following this framework, will one day become like other high-level monks, relying on their strong cultivation, condescending and arrogant?"


    "In this way, isn''t it going to seek ''quality'' again, rather than seeking ''Tao''?"


    This is not impossible.


    Ink painting knows well that the environment will change people.


    If one day, if I really have a high position and a high power for a long time, I will be thinking about what I will go against my original intention and whether I will forget my current insights.


    "When people walk to a high place, they won''t look down..."


    My mother''s words rang in the ears of Mo Hua again.


    He pondered for a moment and thought to himself:


    "As long as I remember this sentence, no matter how high the realm or how strong the cultivation level is, I always remember to look down, and there should be no problem..."


    "When my cultivation is high enough and I reach the sky, I can still remember to read it down. Maybe I will really know what ''Tao'' is and what ''Immortal'' is."


    Practicing Taoism step by step. These thoughts and insights seem useless, but they will be deposited in his heart and lay the foundation for his future pursuit of Taoism and longevity. Mo Hua nodded with bright eyes.


    When he came to his senses, he realized that he had something to do.


    "Thunder magnetic array disk!"


    This is the main thing at the moment.


    Ink painting began to gather its mind and continued to study the thunder magnetic array disk.


    He first read the experience of the formation that Elder Zheng gave him carefully from beginning to end, and then simulated it in his mind. Then he began to use it himself to fiddle with the thunder magnetic array disk in front of him.


    The thunder magnetic array disk is made of jade as the base, with red gold borders and silver wire engraved patterns. It has dense magnetic patterns on it, and the structure is very precise.


    This should be a third-grade array plate.


    However, because the dead Mr. Yuan''s formation has limited attainments and has "reduced patterns" on the formation plate, the real grade of the formation plate is actually between the second and third grades, and is considered a "quasi-third grade".


    This is a manifestation of Mr. Yuan’s lack of ability, and it also facilitates the use of ink painting.


    Mo Hua began to follow the instructions of Elder Zheng and use the second-grade array eye inside the array plate to forcibly activate the third-grade array plate.


    As Elder Zheng said, this is an "unspecified" usage.


    Even if the spiritual consciousness of ink painting reaches the limit of the peak of the nineteen-line pattern, it is very difficult to activate it.


    Moreover, the spirit stones consumed a huge amount, but in the blink of an eye, hundreds of spirit stones were flowing like water, and they were integrated into the thunder magnetic array disk, and they were still consumed...


    Ink painting is a little distressed.


    If it fails, all these spirit stones will be wasted.


    However, in order to study the thunder magnetic array and for the sake of natal magic weapons, these spirit stones must be bloomed without being spent.


    Fortunately, the formation itself was designed by others according to the specifications, so he just urged it simply, and the difficulty was not high.


    And the thunder magnetic array disk did not disappoint the spirit stones of ink paintings.


    After a stick of incense, it trembled slightly, and a light blue thunder and magnet light flashed out. A secondary thunder stream with clear "instructions" penetrated into the guest order along the array disk, connecting a small fixed magnetic pattern.


    With the strength of ink painting, it is still impossible to fully activate this thunder magnetic array disk. This array plate can only achieve this level.


    But this is enough.


    At the bottom of the sect token, the structure of the "Meritorious Library" is the most rigorous. The dense magnetic patterns are like "masonry", building a city to protect the inner secrets.


    This is a solid Yuan magnetic city.


    Ink painting is not about breaking through this "city".


    Of course, with his ability, he cannot defeat it.


    His Lei Ci villain can only "tamper with" and does not have the ability to "offense and defense".


    Therefore, he needs to use the "quasi-third-grade" lightning magnetic array disk to generate a lightning magnetic current with "dissolving" instructions, and make a small hole in this "city".


    In this way, the little man of Lei Ci can bypass the magnetic pattern defense through this "hole" and penetrate into the "merit database" of the core of the Demon Sect.


    The lightning magnetic formation is used to attack and defend, and the lightning magnetic villain is used to penetrate, and this cooperation is perfect.


    Under the control of ink painting, the thunder magnetic array disk generates a subtle secondary thunder stream, like an arrow, whistling out along the established primordial magnetic pattern and hitting the "city wall" formed by magnetic patterns at the bottom of the Demon Sect.


    For a time, the electric and optical element stimulated magnetically.


    But the whole process occurs in the microscopic thunder magnet. No one can notice this magical and subtle scene except for silently manipulating all the ink paintings.


    Soon, a small gap was "boomed" by the sub-thunder stream like an arrow generated by the thunder magnetic array disk on the solid magnetic wall.


    The little man Lei Ci immediately followed the gap with a "slip" and penetrated into the Demon Sect''s meritorious Yuan Magnetic Library, leaving only a small wisp of electric light traces.


    “Success!”


    My eyes lit up.


    This is the first time he has successfully activated the thunder magnetic array disk, which is the first step for the "orthodox" thunder magnetic array master.


    This attempt also made him initially establish the idea of ??combining the thunder magnetic array and the thunder magnetic villain, complementing each other, and carrying out the concept of thunder magnetic attack, defense and penetration.


    The little man Lei Ci successfully penetrated into the "magnetic pattern city", and the ink painting began to work formally.


    Generally speaking, this obvious attack and infiltration will be detected by other thunder magnet array masters.


    But Mr. Yuan is dead, and no one maintains the Thunder Magnetic Array of the Demon Sect. Even the "Guest Lord" as the interface of the Yuan Magnetic Reconstruction Array is in Mo Hua''s hands.


    Ink painting is both a thief and a bodyguard, so naturally he has no scruples.


    The ink paintings penetrated into the "Merit Library". With the help of the ink paintings, they can sense the dense magnetic patterns in front of them, like "tofu blocks".


    Mo Hua is now quite proficient in magnetic pattern annotations.


    These dense fixed magnetic patterns will be seen in your eyes, but within a few breaths, they will automatically "convert" them into text:


    "The Blood Lotus Technique, the third level, the entry-level technique, sucking other people''s blood and integrating into one''s own blood and energy, can operate up to twelve cycles... Need to point the demonic merit: one hundred."


    "Blood Lotus Fruit, evil things required for the blood lotus cultivation, are tempered by human blood, once every three years. Demonic merit point: twenty..."


    "Ten years of blood lotus fruit, nourished by human blood, has grown for ten years... Demonic merit point: 200."


    "The blood-sucking knife, a second-grade evil weapon, kills people and **** blood. The more you suck, the stronger it becomes. This is a standard evil weapon, which is simplified from the magic treasure, the blood blade of the Heaven-Swallowing Sky... Demonic merit point: four hundred."


    “…”


    Here are densely packed, all of which are full of various types of practice methods and objects in the Demon Sect.


    "It''s indeed the merit database of the Demon Sect."


    "Will the Four Elephant Blue Dragon Formation Diagram be hidden inside?"


    Ink painting said in his heart.


    If the four-syllable top-level formation with the power of the divine beast - the Qinglong Formation Diagram is really hidden in the treasure house of the Demon Sect, it will save you too much trouble.


    There will be signs of your own natal magic weapon.


    Ink painting silently recited in his heart:


    "The Four Symbols Blue Dragon Formation Map, the Four Symbols Blue Dragon Formation Map...must be there, be there..."


    After reading this silently several times, the ink painting began to "search" one magnetic pattern after another.


    One magnetic pattern after another was "deciphered" into words by ink paintings, and then recorded on the jade slip.


    The Demon Sect was completely unaware that their most precious "merit database" was being "peeped at" by ink painting.


    And this blood-sucking Demon Sect inherits the inheritance, and there are still many meritorious items in it. Ink paintings have to be searched one by one, and “deciphered” one by one. There is no way to see ten lines at a glance, so it is also time-consuming.


    In this way, it took him half a month to finally decipher the "Merit Library" of the Demon Sect, and many of the names were copied by him.


    Most of the inheritances or items are related to magic cultivators and ink paintings are not used.


    Very few are inherited from the righteous path, perhaps robbed by murders, not high-quality, nor rare. Compared with the fifth-grade Taixu Sect’s meritorious talisman, it is really pale and ink paintings are not even despised.


    And there is no shadow of the Four Symbols Qinglong Formation Diagram.


    Seeing that the remaining things were getting less and less, Mo Hua couldn''t help but feel a little nervous.


    If you can''t find the Qinglong Formation Diagram in this merit library, then the matter of the magic weapon in the natal world will be extremely difficult.


    He could only find a way to kill the leader of the late stage of the Demon Sect, who was carrying the Azure Dragon Formation and had an unfathomable strength.


    In this way, the difficulty is more than several times higher.


    In the third-grade state realm, if you kill such a great devil in the Golden Dan realm, you can only have a deep understanding of the Ink Painting with the late stage of Foundation Establishment.


    "Let me be lazy... Let me save some snacks..."


    "Give me the Four Elephant Blue Dragon Formation Diagram..."


    Ink painting hopes for the word in his heart.


    But in the Demon Sect’s merit database, the Four Symbols Qinglong Formation Diagram has never appeared.


    Ink paintings can only be patient, search and decipher.


    In this way, he kept deciphering the last item.


    This item has the highest encryption level and looks like a "formula". Mo Hua''s heart was thrilled and he couldn''t help but look forward to it.


    "The Qinglong Array Map, the Qinglong Array Map..."


    Ink paintings silently chanted twice in my heart, and then began to "decrypt".


    It took a little time to decrypt it.


    The last thing presented to the ink picture is the name of the item with three characters.


    No surprise, it is not the Four Symbols Qinglong Formation Diagram.


    The heart hanging in Mo Hua finally died.


    "Sure enough, there is no pie falling from the sky..."


    Since the Four Symbols Green Dragon Formation Diagram is so precious, it was studied by Mr. Tu with the lives of so many demon cultivators in Wan Yao Valley. It is impossible to be so simple and fall into his own hands...


    Mo Hua sighed and deciphered the last three words in disappointment. Then he took a look and was suddenly stunned.


    At that moment, he thought he had read it wrong.


    This is…


    "Reverse Spirit Formation?!"


    There is also a line of comments below the name of the formation:


    "The second grade twenty-straight pattern, an alternative array diagram contains certain spiritual power and laws, which is extremely difficult to comprehend, the effect is unknown, and the purpose is unknown. Demonic merit point: three thousand..."


    Mo Hua took a breath of cold air slowly.


    He never expected that the last thing hidden in the Demon Sect’s meritorious depot would be...


    The second-grade twenty-line reverse spirit formation? !
