Chapter 1246: Chapter 727 Refining Demon Mountain_2

“The Monster Beasts of Refining Demon Mountain are extremely perilous; you have no idea,”

“Moreover, you are not a Body Cultivator, with a feeble body; your Spiritual Power is weak, and your spells also don’t hold an advantage; you don’t refine Spiritual Artifacts, hence no use for Monster Beasts’ materials; you draw Formation Diagrams every day, and you’re not lacking Merit Points…”

“Why are you going to Refining Demon Mountain?”

Elder Master Xun had rendered Mo Hua speechless with his questions.

Although Elder Master Xun’s words were somewhat at odds with the actual situation,

Although my body is weak, my movement technique is good; my Spiritual Power is insignificant, but my spells are quick; I don’t refine Spiritual Artifacts myself, but Master Gu helps me to refine them.

It’s true that I draw Formations every day, but how could I not lack Merit Points?

Merit Points are something that the more you have, the better.

It may not be necessary for oneself, but that doesn’t mean one should not accumulate them.

Qian Zhuang, hero of boldness.

The more Merit Points Mo Hua has, the more reassured he feels in his heart. He wished he could save up ten or twenty thousand points, and even just looking at the Taixu Token brings him pleasure.

But Elder Master Xun also made sense.

All these, considered currently, are not essential.

Nevertheless, Mo Hua was somewhat unwilling to accept this.

Elder Master Xun noticed his reluctance and slightly shook his head, thinking to himself that Mo Hua, this child, although good-natured and steady, and seeming more grown-up, has become a handsome and charming young boy.

But he is still somewhat childlike at heart, always eager to join in on the excitement.

And indeed, Refining Demon Mountain, with hundreds of Sect Disciples gathered to form teams for Monster Hunting, is quite the spectacle.

But, is that an excitement you, child, can join in?

“Your talent lies in formations, one strength that covers many flaws. Develop your talent to the utmost, and you may carve out your own path in the future. There’s no need to imitate others…”

“There are paths you need not and cannot walk. Formation itself is a clear path!”

Elder Master Xun spoke with earnest and profundity.

“Oh…” Mo Hua nodded slightly.

Seeing that Mo Hua was still somewhat unhappy, Elder Master Xun thought for a moment, flipped his wrist, and took out a thick stack of Formation Diagrams.

“You’ve almost learned the Five Elements Bagua Formation from Taixu Gate with the Seventeen Patterns. Now learn this set of mine…”

Mo Hua was taken aback, “Elder Master, isn’t yours from Taixu Gate as well?”

“It’s a bit different…”

Elder Master Xun said, “The formations from Taixu Gate focus on ‘heritage’, intended for teaching and imparting…”

“What I am giving you now is the real ‘research’ in formations.”

“These Formation Diagrams are also based on Five Elements and Eight Trigrams, but compared to those you learned before, they are significantly more challenging…”

Mo Hua’s eyes lit up, “Significantly more challenging?”

He quickly and respectfully took the Formation Diagrams, glanced over them briefly, and his eyes shone even brighter.

These Formation Diagrams strangely shared an ingenious similarity with the formation heritages of the Shangguan Family and the Wenren Family. Moreover, they seemed even more profound.

“Thank you, Elder Master!” Mo Hua said with a beaming smile.

Seeing Mo Hua happy, Elder Master Xun finally breathed a sigh of relief, and waving his hand he said:

“Go, go and study the formations.”

“Sure, sure.”

Mo Hua immediately tucked the Formation Diagrams into his clothes and scampered off.

Elder Master Xun watched and smiled wryly, shaking his head softly.

In the time that followed, not to disappoint Elder Master Xun’s kindness, Mo Hua temporarily put Refining Demon Mountain out of his mind and focused wholeheartedly on studying the new formations.

But there will come a day when the new formations will have been fully studied.

Once Mo Hua finished learning, he went to find Elder Master Xun to express his wish to venture into Refining Demon Mountain.

To appease Mo Hua, Elder Master Xun could only give him more Formation Diagrams to keep him busy and to settle his restless heart.

And so, nearly another half a year passed by.

Using Refining Demon Mountain as an excuse, Mo Hua “extorted” many Formation Diagrams from Elder Master Xun, which weren’t supposed to be taught to him at this time.

Meanwhile, Cheng Mo and the others became more stable in their Cultivation, adapted to the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment battles, and began venturing into Refining Demon Mountain in teams of five.

Mo Hua, a bona fide Monster Hunter, could only watch on eagerly.

At mealtime, Cheng Mo and the others gathered, chattering excitedly about Refining Demon Mountain.

“Disciples and Monster Beasts everywhere…”

“Tigers with claws longer than necks, Bear Pi standing like small hills, Wolf Demons with green fur all over, and Phoenixes adorned in fiery red…”

“Battling against the Monster Beasts, one can fight with full force, with martial arts and spells unhindered, the combat invigorating and unrestrained.”

“A single Early Stage Second Grade Demon Core is worth three hundred Merit Points.”

“And there are valuable pelts, bones, essence blood, gallbladders, all worth a fortune…”

Cheng Mo told the tales with vivid enthusiasm.

But after about ten days, having made a few trips to Refining Demon Mountain, Cheng Mo seemed somewhat dejected.

Mo Hua inquired, “What happened?”

Cheng Mo let out a sigh, “Inside Demon Hunting Mountain, most are Sect Disciples in the Late Stage of Foundation Establishment with rich experience, adept techniques, profound cultivation, and top-grade Spiritual Artifacts.”

“We can’t mix into their teams…”

“Our group of five formed a team, aiming to try our hand at a Second Grade Early Stage Wolf Demon, but that Wolf Demon was really cunning. We spent half a day struggling just to find it…”

“And then what happened?”

“We were defeated…”

Cheng Mo looked quite frustrated.

Mo Hua nodded, unsurprised.

Monster Beasts are indeed formidable.

Especially for someone like Cheng Mo, who had never actually hunted Monster Beasts before and had almost no experience, encountering difficulties at first encounter is inevitable.

The profession of Monster Hunter is challenging for newcomers.

Mo Hua could only share some Monster Hunting tips as a reminder.

It was not the time for more specific advice because specific problems require specific analysis.

A lot of Mo Hua’s Monster Hunting experience came from Big Black Mountain.

Big Black Mountain, a Second Grade mountain range in Li State, is where Mo Hua was born and raised, and he is very familiar with its environment and Monster Beasts.

However, now they were in Qian State’s Refining Demon Mountain.
