Chapter 414: Glutinous Rice Balls
Bargain in half, and then talk slowly.
This is what Mo Hua learned in the market of Tongxian City.
The broker looked bitter, "No... I don't bargain like you..."
"Is there something wrong with this formation?"
"Yes..." The broker said helplessly, and suddenly he was shocked, "No, I don't know..."
"It's useless to be stubborn!"
Mo Hua looked confident, "Write down what I just said, and find other formation masters to see, it must be exactly the same."
The broker was speechless, "Then..."
"Is there a problem with the formation?" Mo Hua asked again.
"It's... I think..."
"Is the formation a big problem?"
"Yes... I think."
"Since your cave has a big problem, why are you selling it so expensive?" Mo Hua said confidently.
The broker said bitterly, "It can't be that much cheaper?"
"I didn't say I couldn't bargain, how much do you want?"
Under the pressure from Mo Hua's gaze, the broker tried to ask, "30,000...7,000?"
Mo Hua shook his head, "20,500."
"36,000?
"21,000..."
...
After a round of quotations, Mo Hua was only willing to give 29,000.
The broker gritted his teeth and said helplessly, "I'll go back and ask the boss, please wait."
"Go ahead."
Mo Hua waved his hand at him.
Bai Zisheng looked at Mo Hua in surprise, "You really know how to bargain..."
"Of course. "
Mo Hua nodded.
For casual cultivators, every spirit stone is a good thing, and when it comes to bargaining, they naturally cannot be polite.
Having spirit stones is one thing.
Not wasting spirit stones is another.
After a while, the broker came back with a spirit contract, and said with an apologetic smile:
"I have reported to the boss, and the boss didn't know that there were so many problems with the formation of this cave. He felt very sorry, so he was willing to sell this cave to the three friends at a low price."
The broker held the spirit contract in both hands and handed it to Mo Hua:
"The price is a little more favorable, 28,888, for good luck..."
Mo Hua took a look at the spirit energy, and it was indeed 20,000, with a bunch of "eight" characters at the end.
"Your boss, are you so easy to talk to? "
Mo Hua was a little confused.
It cost nearly 10,000 spirit stones...
The broker laughed and said, "First, this cave is indeed not perfect, and you found it out, which is embarrassing; second, our boss also wants to make friends with you, and you buying our cave is also giving us face."
Mo Hua asked suspiciously, "Does your boss know me?"
"You and your boss have not met before."
Mo Hua's watery eyes turned, and then asked, "Is it the Lu family or the Nanyue Sect behind your brokerage?"
The broker was startled, and then said, "To be honest with you, there are both the Lu family and the Nanyue Sect..."
Mo Hua was also a little surprised, "Does your brokerage have such a big background?"
The broker laughed and said, "That's not the case... The Lu family is the investor behind it, and the boss in charge is a direct disciple of the inner sect of the Nanyue Sect. "
"Although they have both backgrounds, they are not as good as the elders and the head of the family, so it is just a small pawnshop..."
The Lu family, Daoting Division, Nanyue Sect...
It seems that they are wearing the same pants.
Mo Hua sighed.
But he is an outsider, so it is not appropriate to ask too much for the time being, so he bowed and said: "Thank the boss for me."
The pawnshop owner bowed and said respectfully: "I dare not."
Then it was to hand over the spirit stones, sign the spirit contract, and then hand over some cave formation diagrams and formation keys.
When signing the spirit contract, Bai Zixi said to Mo Hua: "You sign."
Mo Hua was stunned, "Why do you want me to sign?"
Bai Zixi said: "You picked it."
"But, it was you, the little sister, who paid for the spirit stones..."
Bai Zixi said: "I can't sign."
Bai Zisheng also nodded on the side, "Aunt Xue doesn't let us sign the spirit contract with others. "
Mo Hua was slightly startled, then understood.
It is estimated that the children of a big family have some taboos. If they sign a spiritual contract, they will be deceived or plotted against.
"Okay."
Mo Hua signed the spiritual contract. After signing, he gave the spiritual contract to Bai Zixi, "Little Senior Sister, you keep it."
Bai Zixi wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it, she accepted it.
After buying the cave, it is necessary to clean it up.
Mainly the formation.
The previous formation was too shabby, and Mo Hua didn't like it.
And since it is the place where he lives, it is better to draw the formation himself to feel at ease.
Mo Hua spent some time to reconstruct the formation diagram of the cave.
This formation diagram is mostly first-grade formations, and even uses thick earth formations.
Mo Hua and the little senior brothers and sisters renovated the formation in the cave according to the formation diagram.
Then he asked the agent to invite someone to come and clean it up.
The cave was clean and tidy, with arrays drawn on doors, windows, corridors, flower and grass courtyards, and every corner. These arrays were connected to each other, forming an exquisite and complex first-class complex array.
Mo Hua was satisfied.
After packing up, Mo Hua and the other two returned to the inn and took Mr. Zhuang to the cave.
Mr. Zhuang saw the quiet courtyard, the clean bamboo room, and the quiet pond.
There were also many arrays, but they were naturally in line with the courtyard, the house, the grass, and the steps, and they were connected into one. He nodded happily.
Everyone had dinner under the big tree in the yard.
Mo Hua laid a low table and everyone sat on the lawn.
There were various kinds of food on the table.
Because they had been to the mine, smelled the smell in the well, and saw the tragic death of the mine repairman, Mo Hua and the other two had not had a good appetite these days.
Mo Hua was actually fine, and Bai Zixi was covered by Mo Hua's eyes, but it was nothing.
The main reason was that Bai Zisheng was the winner, so he couldn't eat any meat.
Mo Hua made some light vegetarian food or snacks.
The main meal of the day was sesame-filled rice dumplings.
The breeze blew, and the leaves fluttered.
While eating the rice dumplings, Mo Hua asked Mr. Zhuang: "Master, is the flow of spiritual energy very important?"
Mo Hua had some doubts before.
What can the flow of spiritual energy in the cave indicate?
He guessed that it was related to wind direction, qi and so on, but these were just his guesses, and he was not sure about the deeper reasons.
Mr. Zhuang said concisely:
"The flow of spiritual energy is related to spiritual veins."
"Spiritual veins?"
Mo Hua was slightly stunned.
Mr. Zhuang nodded slightly, "The so-called spiritual veins refer to the qi veins formed by the huge spiritual energy flowing between heaven and earth."
"Huge spiritual energy..." Mo Hua said, "Then is there no spiritual vein now?"
Because the spiritual energy between heaven and earth is now extremely thin.
"There are still some." Mr. Zhuang said lightly, "but ordinary cultivators can't see them..."
Mr. Zhuang paused, ate a piece of glutinous rice balls, nodded, and then continued:
"The existing spiritual veins are either in the Dao Court or in some ancient families or sects that have been passed down to this day and have not declined."
"Some medium-sized forces, if they have far-reaching plans and want to make themselves long-lasting, will also try to use formations to create artificial spiritual veins..."
Mo Hua was slightly surprised, "Artificial spiritual veins?"
"Yes." Mr. Zhuang said with emotion, "Spend a lot of spiritual stones, use special formations to construct a huge flow of spiritual power, so as to form a continuous and endless spiritual vein."
"Use the spiritual energy in the spiritual veins for future generations to practice."
"It's just that this is too difficult and the cost is too high..."
"And the spiritual veins seen by ordinary cultivators are actually in another form."
Mr. Zhuang looked at Mo Hua and said slowly: "You have seen it too."
Mo Hua frowned, pondered for a while, and his eyes lit up:
"Spirit mine?"
Mr. Zhuang nodded "The spiritual energy in the spiritual veins, after the changes in the situation of heaven and earth, is covered underground and merged with the rocks and plants. Over the years, it forms a spiritual mine."
"So the spiritual mine is actually a kind of non-flowing 'spiritual vein', a one-time 'spiritual vein', and a solidified 'spiritual vein'..."
Mo Hua nodded and thought about it for a while. Then his heart jumped and asked:
"Then Master, if I can see the flow of spiritual energy in the mountains and distinguish the direction of the spiritual veins in the past, can I deduce... which There is a spiritual mine in there?"
Mr. Zhuang smiled with relief:
"That's the reason..."
"Spiritual consciousness calculation, spiritual power perception, formation spiritual power trajectory and the flow of spiritual energy in heaven and earth, all of these have something in common and form their own system."
"But this kind of thing is still very complicated to do in practice."
"You should learn more and practice more, starting from the flow of spiritual energy, from simple to complex, from shallow to deep, maybe in the future, you can really calculate the spiritual veins from the flow of spiritual energy, and thus calculate the location of the spiritual mine..."
Spirit mine!
Mo Hua nodded repeatedly, his eyes sparkling.
If you really find a spiritual mine, wouldn't you make a fortune?
You can dig a lot of spiritual stones!
Mo Hua looked like a little money-grubber.
Mr. Zhuang laughed and shook his head.
This matter is not that simple.
The Dao Court has been developing for more than 20,000 years, and there are very few spiritual mines that have not been discovered in this cultivation world.
Even if they found it, such a big piece of fat meat, everyone wants to have a bite, which often means blood and rain...
Mr. Zhuang's eyes were uncertain, and he sighed slightly in his heart.
Turning his head to look at Mo Hua, Mr. Zhuang suddenly hesitated and showed an interesting expression.
His disciple looked well-behaved, but also eccentric.
At the beginning, he was able to help the casual cultivators and snatched a spiritual mine from the Qian family.
If a spiritual mine is really discovered in the future, maybe he can take advantage of it and eat it with oil in his mouth...
After that, there was no talk, and Mo Hua concentrated on eating.
His cheeks were also stuffed full.
The glutinous rice balls were fragrant and sweet.
Mo Hua couldn't help eating more, and turned around to find that Bai Zixi, who was sitting next to him, was staring at the glutinous rice balls in the bowl.
Mo Hua asked curiously, "Is it not delicious?"
He remembered that the little senior sister should like sweet things.
Bai Zixi shook his head.
Mo Hua looked a little puzzled.
Bai Zixi glanced at Mo Hua, pointed at the glutinous rice balls in the bowl, and said, "It looks a bit like you."
Mo Hua was startled, and then frowned.
He looked at the glutinous rice balls in the bowl.
White, round, and crystal clear.
Mo Hua thought about it, and said uncertainly, "Senior sister, are you saying that I look white?"
Bai Zixi shook his head again.
Mo Hua was even more confused.
Bai Zixi scooped up a glutinous white glutinous rice ball with a spoon, took a bite, and the black sesame filling flowed out...
Mo Hua was stunned, and after thinking for a long time, he finally figured it out.
The little senior sister was saying that he had bad intentions.
The face is white, but he is a little scheming.
Mo Hua muttered dissatisfiedly: "How can I be scheming..."
Bai Zixi nodded: "Yes!"
In the mine, he threatened, framed, lied, and threatened, and his methods were very skilled.
Bai Zisheng also nodded:
"That's right, he looks harmless on the surface, but he has a lot of tricks in his heart...
Mo Hua glared at Bai Zisheng, "Being scheming is better than being stupid!"
Bai Zisheng was angry: "How dare you say your senior brother is a fool!"
"I didn't say that, you admitted it yourself..."
...
Under the big tree, Mo Hua and Bai Zisheng quarreled in a lively manner.
Mr. Zhuang looked calm, with a smile on his lips.
Bai Zixi took another bite of the glutinous rice balls, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his eyes were crystal clear.
