Chapter 73: The Fourth Level of Qi Refining

In the days that followed, Mo Hua continued to practice formations as Mr. Zhuang said.

Both Master Chen's refining furnace and Mr. Feng's alchemy furnace were used by Mo Hua.

There was nothing around the neighborhood that would allow Mo Hua to "show off his skills".

Mo Hua could only settle for the next best thing and find some low-end formations to practice, such as the double lock formation on the door, the earth and stone formation on the wall, the open fire formation on the lamp, and so on.

Formations are widely used in the world of cultivation, from spiritual tools for killing to shields for defense, as well as all the food, clothing, housing and transportation in daily life.

But among the lower-level casual cultivators, the use of formations is extremely crude and superficial, and some are even just simple one or two formation patterns, which cannot be regarded as formations.

In comparison, Master Chen's refining furnace and Mr. Feng's alchemy furnace are already "high-end products".

Especially Mr. Feng's alchemy furnace, even using a compound formation of three formations to achieve the harmony of wood and fire spiritual power. There shouldn't be many array masters who can draw such complex arrays in the whole Tongxian City.

Mo Hua helped several neighbors repair doors, walls, and lights, which were basically miscellaneous jobs that did not reflect any array attainments, but the cultivators in the neighborhood were very grateful to Mo Hua.

They didn't have enough spiritual stones, so they all thanked Mo Hua with some fruits and spiritual vegetables grown by themselves. Although the gift was light, the heart was heavy.

Mo Hua's family was not rich, and there were many casual cultivators who were poorer than Mo Hua in Tongxian City. Generally, casual cultivators would save as much as possible, and would continue to use things even if they were broken. They would never ask array masters to repair the array when it was worn out.

Sometimes the spiritual stones spent on asking an array master to repair the array may be more expensive than buying a new one.

Array masters are rare. Most array masters will only serve their families, sects, or some major forces of immortal cultivation after they have learned their skills, both to earn more spiritual stones and to make further progress in arrays.

"Learn the arts of literature and martial arts, and sell them to the imperial family." This is a sentence in Mo Hua's memory of another life.

Once you step into the threshold of a superior family or sect, you will naturally no longer look at those poor families.

This is both human nature and the fickleness of human hearts.

Thinking of this, Mr. Feng, who became a first-class alchemist and can still make alchemy and cure diseases for poor casual practitioners, is even more worthy of respect.

It took Mo Hua about a month to repair the formation for others.

Most of the formations he repaired were low-end formations, which only contained two or three formation patterns, but it was also a review, and his memory was much deeper than before.

Before, when drawing the formation on paper, paper was the medium of the formation, but when the formation was actually used, a brick, a stone, and a piece of wood could all be used as the medium of the formation.

Although the formation drawn on paper can also be operated, it is more or less a paper talk. Moreover, the formation on paper will generally be invalid after one use and cannot be used for a long time.

Only by truly painting the formation on all things in the world, earth, bricks and stones, and all kinds of spiritual tools, and letting them run for a long time, can we truly comprehend the way of heaven and follow the way of heaven.

Drawing the formation on different formation media consumes more spiritual consciousness and spiritual power, requires higher brushwork, and is more difficult to draw.

But as long as you practice diligently, you will have a more thorough understanding of the formation.

After Mo Hua practiced for a while, he felt suddenly enlightened when he looked at the formation again.

It seemed that those formation patterns were no longer obscure and abstract patterns, but more vivid and lively patterns, which were the trajectory of the operation of the spiritual power of heaven and earth.

When Mo Hua sank his spiritual consciousness into the sea of ​​consciousness and looked at the puzzle woven by the spiritual power in the sea of ​​consciousness, he no longer felt confused as before.

The spiritual power flowed on the puzzle, and every strand became much clearer.

On this day, Mo Hua solved the formation according to the rules of spiritual power generation and restraint taught by Mr. Zhuang.

As Mo Hua's white little hands outlined, array patterns condensed one after another, and then one after another dissipated, like a piece of silk that was pulled apart, slowly stretched, and then dissipated and melted into the sea of ​​consciousness.

Mo Hua vaguely felt that every time he solved an array pattern, the connection between his consciousness and spiritual power became closer and closer.

When Mo Hua solved the last array pattern, he found that the entire mystery array in his sea of ​​consciousness had dissipated, and his sea of ​​consciousness returned to its original state, as if nothing had happened. Only the Taoist tablet in the middle of the sea of ​​consciousness, although abrupt, still existed as before.

"Is this solved?"

Mo Hua scratched his head, and then tried to mobilize his spiritual power, and found that his sea of ​​consciousness suddenly trembled, like a stomach that had not eaten a drop of water for several days, and suddenly became hungry.

Mo Hua was startled, and hurriedly took out the spirit stone and absorbed the spiritual energy in the spirit stone. After refining more than ten spirit stones, his sea of ​​consciousness gradually calmed down.

Mo Hua looked inward and found that his spiritual power was much more abundant and his consciousness was stronger.

"The fourth level of Qi Refining!"

Mo Hua was so happy that he couldn't fall asleep lying on the bed.

He got up, lit the lamp, spread the paper and added ink, and drew a Three Talents Formation.

The Three Talents Formation contains six first-grade formation patterns.

Mo Hua was previously limited by his spiritual consciousness, and although he could draw it, it was still a bit strenuous. Now that his cultivation has broken through and his spiritual consciousness has increased, he can draw the Three Talents Formation with ease.

After finishing the painting, Mo Hua remembered that it was past midnight and he could draw the formation on the Dao Monument in the sea of ​​consciousness. He wasted a piece of paper and ink.

No matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat.

Mo Hua felt a little heartache, then he sank his spiritual consciousness into the sea of ​​consciousness again and drew the formation on the Dao Monument without any scruples.

The formation that I felt strenuous before has become much easier because of the breakthrough in cultivation and the growth of spiritual consciousness. No wonder others often say that realm is the foundation of cultivators.

Mo Hua drew the formation until dawn, and then he couldn't wait to tell his parents the good news.

Mo Shan had just finished climbing the mountain, and he and his companions hunted a few wild buffalo monsters, and they stayed at home to recuperate for a few days. The couple was very pleased after hearing this, and they arranged a banquet for nearby neighbors and familiar friends.

From the third level of Qi Refining to the fourth level of Qi Refining, it is from the early stage of Qi Refining to the middle stage, which is considered a breakthrough in the middle realm, and it is customary to have a banquet. Da Hu and the other three also had a banquet when they broke through to the fourth level of Qi Refining, but the Meng family was not well off, so the three children got together and only had a banquet once.

The restaurant was closed for a day, and Mo Shan asked someone to carry a whole wild buffalo monster that he had hunted a few days ago to his home, skinned it, and stewed it with spices, and then opened a banquet directly in the restaurant.

Master Chen, Dazhu, and several other disciples of Master Chen came, not to mention Dahu and the other two. Some casual cultivators who were not familiar with Mohua but had been helped by Mohua before specially sent some small gifts, but did not stay for dinner. Liu Ruhua packed some beef as a return gift.

Although it was a banquet, the food was only slightly better than usual. There was no spiritual meat because it was too expensive, but there was plenty of wild beef. In addition, Liu Ruhua's craftsmanship was well-known, so although the food was cheap, it tasted delicious. Everyone ate meat and drank wine and was very happy.

Mr. Zhuang did not like noise, and the Bai brothers and sisters had special status, so Mohua did not invite them. He just made some more delicious food and sent it to Mr. Zhuang and others the next day.

Bai Zixi thanked him, eating crispy snacks and drinking sweet wine, with a satisfied expression.

Bai Zisheng was very regretful. He also wanted to join in the fun and wanted to follow others to drink and eat meat. But he also knew that he could only think about it. Although Aunt Xue had a mild temper, she was strict with them and would never agree.

Mo Hua felt a little sympathetic towards him, but Bai Zisheng asked doubtfully:

"It's just the fourth level of Qi Refining, is it worth celebrating like this?"

The little sympathy in Mo Hua's heart disappeared in an instant.

For ordinary casual cultivators, the Qi Refining stage may be the end of their cultivation, so every step forward is not easy.
