Chapter 31: Equipment Master

Master Chen is at the eighth level of Qi Refining. He is over a hundred years old. His hair and beard are half white, and his physique is strong. His face is blackened by the fire all year round, but he is energetic and has a loud voice.

Master Chen was watching several disciples forging iron. Perhaps some of the disciples did something wrong. Master Chen glared at them and scolded them. Several tall and strong disciples who were refining weapons were scolded obediently, not daring to raise their heads.

After scolding, Master Chen personally swung the sledgehammer to demonstrate. His strong physique swung the sledgehammer vigorously, and the red-hot iron was beaten with sparks, and gradually the prototype of the knife was forged.

After the hammering, Master Chen just wiped the sweat off his face, and his breath was even, and it seemed that he did not use much strength.

Mo Hua, who was born weak, was envious. He wished he could have such strength someday...

"Watch carefully, iron should be beaten like this. What did you do just now? You are so weak. Even a grown-up girl embroidering is more energetic than you!"

Master Chen scolded several disciples again, and turned around to see a child with red lips, white teeth and bright eyes looking at him with envy.

Master Chen hesitated for a moment and asked, "Little boy, do you also want to learn to refine weapons?"

It is difficult for casual cultivators to make a living. They have to make a living after leaving the sect. Some cultivators who cannot learn anything practical in the sect have to find some ways to learn a craft.

There are often cultivators nearby who send their children to Master Chen to learn to refine weapons from Master Chen so that they can be self-reliant in the future.

Master Chen just collects some spirit stones casually. If there are no spirit stones, he collects some spirit grains as a gift.

Mo Hua looked at several tall and strong disciples, then looked at his own small arms and legs, shook his head helplessly, and then said directly:

"Master, can you help people refine stoves?"

"Stoves?" Master Chen looked at Mo Hua, "You are a child, why are you asking this?"

"I'm asking for my mother."

"Of course I can refine stoves, but refining stoves requires a lot of refined iron, which is not a small amount when converted into spirit stones."

"What if it's a smaller one, wouldn't it be cheaper?"

Master Chen said: "This Of course, a smaller stove costs less refined iron and manpower, so it is naturally cheaper. However, few people in Tongxian City refine small stoves, and the formation needs to be designed and carved by someone else, which may cost a lot of spirit stones. "

"Then how many spirit stones are needed to refine the smallest stove?"

Master Chen did not give Mo Hua a perfunctory answer just because he was a child. Instead, he took out a piece of paper and wrote down the prices of various materials recorded on it one by one, then calculated them uniformly, and finally listed the spirit stones spent on stoves of different sizes and scales.

Master Chen handed the paper to Mo Hua, and then said:

"Of course, this is just the cost of materials. We refiners also have to calculate the working hours, which is calculated by days. The number of days it takes to refine this stove will be charged for the number of days."

"Oh," Mo Hua wrote it down one by one, and then said goodbye:

"I've written it down. I'll come back to you after I go back and discuss with my parents to determine how big the stove should be."

Master Chen nodded, waved his hand and said, "Go back early, little kid, be careful on the road!"

He didn't take Mo Hua's words to heart. There were many cultivators who asked him to refine but didn't do anything after asking for the price. Most of them said they would go back and think about it and there was no follow-up.

What's more, he was a child in his teens, and the spiritual tool he refined was a stove that was time-consuming and labor-intensive, so most of them didn't follow up.

After Mo Hua returned home, he chose a stove that was suitable in size and within his affordability according to the price list given by Master Chen. The material cost alone was about 150 spirit stones.

There is also the labor cost of refining the tool, which is still to be discussed.

Mo Hua didn't know how long it would take Master Chen to refine this stove. However, it would take at least ten days or half a month, which would cost between fifty and seventy-five spirit stones.

Some of it exceeded Mo Hua's budget, and he might have to ask his parents for some spirit stones, or borrow some from someone.

The next most important thing is the formation.

Mo Hua spread the Molten Fire Formation Diagram on the table and began to study it carefully.

The Molten Fire Formation Diagram contains five fire formation patterns, and the strokes of the formation patterns are mostly located in the Lihuo position. Just looking at the complex formation patterns, it is much more complicated than the Metal and Stone Formation and the Solid Earth Formation.

Mo Hua sighed slightly, put aside his distracting thoughts, and began to concentrate on memorizing the formation patterns and the order of strokes.

Mo Hua was so focused on learning that it was dark before he knew it.

Even when he was eating, Mo Hua was thinking about the formation patterns of the Molten Fire Formation. After chewing a few bites of the steamed bun, he was lost in thought and held the steamed bun in a daze.

Liu Ruhua looked angry and amused, pinching his cheek, "Eat your meal well, and think about things after you finish eating."

Mo Hua came back to his senses, chuckled, and then concentrated on eating. After eating, he ran back to the house.

Mo Hua had almost memorized the array pattern of the Molten Fire Array, and then spent another hour practicing on straw paper with ink without spiritual power. After that, he entered the sea of ​​consciousness at midnight and began to practice the array on the stone tablet.

Just looking at the array pattern, although it is relatively complicated, the basic structural logic is no different from other arrays. It is not difficult to remember the array pattern, but the difficult part should be the spiritual consciousness.

Mo Hua's consciousness may not be able to support him to draw a complete Molten Fire Array diagram.

Mo Hua began to draw the Molten Fire Array on the broken stele.

At first, the three array patterns were all smooth, but when it came to the fourth array pattern, it was obviously difficult, and the consciousness gradually sluggish, and there was a feeling of gradually drying up.

Mo Hua frowned.

Until the fourth array pattern was finished, there were bursts of pain in the sea of ​​consciousness, as if the riverbed after the tide receded began to have mottled cracks.

Mo Hua hurriedly stopped and quickly wiped off the array pattern on the broken stele, and the pain in the consciousness was relieved.

Mo Hua collapsed on the ground in the sea of ​​consciousness, which seemed to be real and unreal, and gasped for breath.

"It's over, the consciousness is a bit too much..."

Mo Hua's consciousness was only enough to draw four array patterns. After drawing four array patterns, he had no spare energy to draw the fifth array pattern.

It seems that there is only one array pattern missing, but the consciousness cannot be quickly enhanced in the short term, and this only one array pattern may be stuck for a long time.

"What should I do?"

Mo Hua pondered in his heart.

There is no shortcut to increase spiritual consciousness, which is a common knowledge recognized by the cultivation world.

At least for the cultivators in the Qi Refining Realm of Tongxian City, this is recognized.

Mo Hua asked Yan Jiaoshi for advice, and Yan Jiaoshi also said that the growth of spiritual consciousness can only rely on the improvement of cultivation. The higher the cultivation level, the stronger the spiritual consciousness will naturally be.

The second is to rely on the use of spiritual consciousness to enhance spiritual consciousness. The more and more frequently the cultivator uses spiritual consciousness, the stronger the spiritual consciousness will naturally be. For example, because array masters often draw arrays, they need to use spiritual consciousness frequently, so naturally their spiritual consciousness is much stronger than that of ordinary cultivators.

Mo Hua also asked if there is a method specifically for cultivating spiritual consciousness, and Yan Jiaoshi bluntly said that there is no.

Whether it is ancient books or records of various methods of aristocratic families, there is no safe and reliable method to cultivate spiritual consciousness. Some of them are also mostly evil and unorthodox methods. Once practiced, most of them will go astray and become demon cultivators that everyone can kill.

Whether it really doesn't exist or is secretly collected by aristocratic families, it is unknown.

But even if it exists, Mo Hua will definitely not be able to get it. Even if he gets it, he doesn't dare to risk going astray to practice.

Mo Hua is now at the third level of Qi Refining, and he can't break through to the fourth level in a short time. It is impossible to rely on the growth of cultivation to enhance the spiritual consciousness.

Then there is only one method in front of him:

Continuously draw the formation.

The method without shortcuts is the best shortcut.
