Chapter 189 Worry

Elder Yu took the spirit stones, and a part of it was allocated to the public to build the equipment refining shop. The rest was used to buy a lot of wine and meat, and invited the craftsmen and monster hunters to have a big meal.

The wine was good, but the meat was not spirit meat.

Elder Yu couldn't afford to invite so many cultivators to eat spirit meat. He found Mo Shan and spent spirit stones to ask Liu Ruhua to help cook some monster meat.

There were beef, mutton, chicken, etc., stewed together with spicy spices. The various aromas were mixed together, which smelled very tempting, and there was a lot of food cooked, so you can eat it freely.

Everyone ate with relish, and Mo Hua also ate happily. The equipment refining shop was filled with a lively and cheerful atmosphere.

Only Master Ban didn't taste the food.

He was originally worried that Mo Hua was the only one drawing the formation, and there were not enough people to keep up with the progress.

Now the Qian family has repeatedly come to make trouble, injuring the craftsmen, destroying some buildings, and some formations have to be redrawn. It seems that the progress is even more behind.

Master Ban sighed, and the wine tasted sour and bitter in his mouth, and he didn't know what it tasted like.

Mo Hua, who was chewing a big chicken leg with both hands, saw Master Ban's look and asked:

"Master Ban, are you worried?"

Master Ban sighed again, with a lot on his mind, but he didn't know how to start.

He couldn't urge Mo Hua to draw the formation quickly.

And since he knew that Mo Hua was a formation master, and a formation master who could draw a first-class formation, Master Ban had a faint fear of Mo Hua, and he was more cautious when speaking, and he was not as relaxed as before.

Mo Hua saw that Master Ban was worried, so he said, "If you have anything to say, just say it."

Mo Hua asked this, and Master Ban could only bite the bullet and say, "Mo... Mo Hua, how long will it take to finish this formation..."

Mo Hua estimated and said, "It depends on whether the Qian family will come to make trouble again. If they come again, it will probably take longer. If they are scared and feel the pain, then it will be quick. However, because of the Qian family's trouble, some formations need to be redrawn, so it will be later than expected."

Master Ban nodded, "Then thank you for your hard work."

Although he said that, he was still a little uneasy.

He has been a craftsman for so many years and has heard many promises and predictions, but there are very few promises that can be fulfilled or predictions that can be fulfilled as scheduled.

Seeing that Master Ban was still worried, Mo Hua asked, "If the construction period is delayed, will the consequences be serious?"

"Not serious, but if the construction period is delayed, we craftsmen will not be able to settle accounts, and the craftsmen under us will not get any spiritual stones."

Master Ban looked depressed: "The craftsmen are from poor families. They have to earn spiritual stones to support their families and their children's cultivation. They work day and night to earn some hard-earned money. If the construction period is delayed, they can't get the spiritual stones, and their families may not be able to make ends meet..."

Mo Hua nodded, and felt the same way. Their family used to live in poverty.

Most of the casual cultivators in Tongxian City are monster hunters, who make a living by hunting monsters. There are not many craftsmen, and even fewer who can become craftsmen.

Most of these craftsmen are cultivators from other places. They often have to run around. Wherever there is a need to build a cave, a house, a refinery, an alchemy shop, etc., they will go there.

From planning to completion, a building for cultivation may take at least several months, and at most one or two years or even longer. During this period, they seldom go home, and they are separated from their families.

But even with such hard work, the spiritual stones they earn are barely enough to make a living.

Sure enough, it is not easy for casual cultivators in this world to make a living no matter what they do.

Mo Hua sighed and asked, "Will someone owe spiritual stones?"

Master Ban looked helpless, "This is common. After the cave is built, others don't want to give spiritual stones, or make excuses, saying that the spiritual stones are not circulating, and they keep owing and not paying. We have no way."

"About eighty or ninety years ago, I was not a craftsman at that time, but an ordinary craftsman. I followed my master and helped a cultivator build a small cave. The cave was built, but the cultivator said that he had no spiritual stones and asked us to wait..."

"We waited and waited for three months, but still didn't receive a single spiritual stone. Our family was so poor that we couldn't even afford it. We had no choice but to ask him for it again. This time, I found He was eating and drinking in the dining hall, rewarding the singing girls, and spending a lot of spiritual stones. We asked him for spiritual stones, and he arrogantly said that he had plenty of spiritual stones, but he just wouldn't give us..."

Mo Hua was angry, "Didn't you beat him?"

"We beat him!" Master Ban nodded, "We were so angry that we tied him up and beat him up, and he was seriously injured."

"Then what?"

"Then he found the Dao Ting Division and asked the Dao Ting Division to arrest us and locked us up for half a month. In the end, the master took the blame, was convicted by the Dao Ting Division, and was thrown into prison for ten years. We were beaten with dozens of sticks and released."

Thinking of his former master, Master Ban was a little sad for a while.

"Daoting Division is really a piece of shit!" Mo Hua was a little angry.

Then he thought of Zhang Lan, who was also a cultivator of the Dao Ting Division, and he was a pretty good person. He seemed to have accidentally injured him...

"You can't say that." Master Ban patiently persuaded Mo Hua.

"Are there any exceptions?"

Master Ban nodded, "The cultivation world is so big, there are Dao Ting Si everywhere, some Dao Ting Si are loyal to their duties, while others are greedy and corrupt, and they cannot be generalized..."

"I have dealt with Dao Ting Si in several nearby cities. The Dao Ting Si in Tongxian City is relatively law-abiding. Even if they occasionally take kickbacks, it is human nature. There are good and bad ones in other places. Some Dao Ting Si will even collude with local families to occupy family property, plot to pass on skills, and cause other people's families to be destroyed..."

Master Ban was still frightened when he talked about it.

Mo Hua was also surprised. The cultivation world was indeed more complicated than he had imagined.

He kept all these things in mind, so that if he encountered them in the future, he would be prepared.

"Master Ban, don't worry. Although Elder Yu is stingy, he will give the spiritual stones he should give and will not delay!"

Mo Hua said firmly, and then thought for a while, and said: "I will draw the formation faster and try not to delay too long."

After all, it is not easy for craftsmen to earn spiritual stones, and it is not pleasant to wait for spiritual stones to live.

Master Ban was stunned, "Draw faster?"

He is already fast enough, how much faster can he be? After all, Mo Hua is just one person, and he is only a child of eleven or twelve years old.

Master Ban felt a little sorry and worried: "You don't have to worry, just follow the steps, don't rush, if the spiritual consciousness is consumed too much, it will be troublesome if the sea of ​​consciousness is injured. I heard that if the sea of ​​consciousness of the formation master is injured, he will never be able to draw the formation in this life..."

"Don't worry, I know it." Mo Hua said.

Before, it was because it was the first time to draw formations on such a large-scale monastic building, and it was the first time to design and plan so many formations, so I started to draw carefully and cautiously, and the speed would be slower, trying not to make mistakes.

Now that I have been drawing for so many days, my skills have become much more proficient, and although there are many formations, they are not complicated. Most of them are not even first-grade, so it is not difficult to draw, but a little boring.

The ink painting also needs to be finished early, and then I will find a way to learn and use more advanced complex formations.

Complex formations should be much more interesting.
