Asking About Longevity: Chapter 226 seventh floor
Chapter 226 Seventh Floor
After celebrating the New Year lively, Mo Hua turns thirteen.
His height has grown, but only a little, and he doesn’t look much different. He is still the same little monk.
As for ink painting, apart from daily drawing of formations, the main focus is on cultivation.
He has completed the sixth level of Qi refining, and it won't be long before he reaches the bottleneck of his cultivation and faces the threshold of the middle stage of Qi refining.
As long as you break through the bottleneck, you can become a monk in the late stage of Qi refining.
At the later stage of Qi refining, the foundation building is closer.
The world of cultivation is vast and there are countless monks. During the Qi refining period, they are just ants, and becoming a foundation builder is the first step to change one's own destiny in cultivation.
Building the foundation is the foundation for cultivating the Tao.
No matter what your Taoist intentions are, if you don’t build the foundation, everything will be empty talk.
On this day, I got up at Mo Hua Mao hour and practiced as usual.
Suddenly the sea of qi trembled, and spiritual power began to flow rapidly.
Mo Hua was refreshed, took out the spirit stone, and practiced quietly. These spiritual stones were refined by the ink paintings to form pure spiritual power, which gathered into the sea of qi of the ink paintings until it overflowed.
Then the bottleneck was the same as the first breakthrough in ink painting.
These overflowing spiritual powers travel up the meridians and converge towards Baihui. When they reach the Tianmen point, they seep inwards into the sea of consciousness like silk threads, and weave freely in the sea of consciousness, condensing into a spiritual curtain.
This spiritual curtain is the mystery formation and the bottleneck that needs to be broken through when practicing Tianyan Jue.
Mo Hua had both expectations and apprehensions in his heart. He calmly concentrated and began to understand the mystery array.
After a moment, he breathed a sigh of relief.
There are hundreds or even thousands of formation patterns on these mysterious formations. They are scattered, chaotic, numerous and complex. If you are not an formation master, you will have no clue at all.
But when he looked closely at the ink paintings, he found that most of the formation patterns, even though they were uncommon and constantly changing, did not break away from the category of Five Elements formation patterns, and he could recognize them.
As long as you can recognize it, there is a way to solve it.
Ink painting recalled the basic points of the formation, using the five elements to create and restrain, the formation patterns to melt, and the rules of spiritual power forward and reverse, and began to crack them one by one.
Half a day passed, and more than ten formation patterns were revealed in Mo Hua.
Mo Hua is happy in his heart.
The process of dismantling the formation was smoother than he thought.
Thanks to Mr. Zhuang's teachings and Mo Hua's day and night practice, including his understanding and application of the First-Rank Formation, Mo Hua's current formation level, including his experience in formations, is already considered one of the few among First-Rank Formation Masters. .
He can already decipher these mysterious formations on his own by relying on his own formation skills.
Above the mystery array, the spiritual power hairsprings are tangled, the array patterns are densely covered, and they are constantly flowing.
This mysterious formation that makes ordinary monks unable to do anything and makes ordinary formation masters change their expressions is already clear in Mo Hua's eyes and is no longer a problem.
All the effort spent on the formation before was worth it.
It’s just that there are too many puzzles and it will take some time to solve them.
In this way, Mo Hua forgot to eat and sleep, day and night, and devoted himself to solving the mystery.
Sometimes my mind wanders while eating and walking, sometimes frowning, sometimes enlightening, sometimes meditating, and sometimes my eyes light up.
When the monks around him saw this, they knew that Mo Hua was probably trying to figure out some difficult problem, so they quietly did not disturb him.
Finally, a month later, Mo Hua solved all the puzzles.
The spiritual curtain dissipates inadvertently, the mystery array is instantly solved, the gossamer spiritual power gradually disappears, and finally merges into the sea of consciousness of the ink painting.
The sea of consciousness in Mo Hua has expanded a bit, his spiritual consciousness has become deeper, and his spiritual power has become stronger.
He finally broke through the bottleneck and became a monk at the seventh level of Qi Refining.
The seventh level of Qi refining is the late stage of Qi refining!
Mo Hua was overjoyed. His cultivation had finally taken a crucial step forward. From now on, he just had to work steadily, step by step, and move toward foundation building step by step.
Ink painting has reached the late stage of Qi refining, and those who are more happy than ink painting are naturally Liu Ruhua and Mo Shan.
According to custom, they entertained the surrounding neighbors and some monks with whom they had close friendships.
Mo Hua also received a lot of gifts, from Elder Yu, Master Chen, Mr. Feng, the demon hunter, Master Luo and other formation masters also sent gifts. The banquet was lively for a while, and then Mo Hua gathered his mood and thought about what to do next.
In terms of cultivation, one should be diligent in cultivation and persevere, and pay attention to the fact that every drop of water can penetrate the stone, and success will come naturally. There are no shortcuts in this book, and there is nothing to say.
In terms of Taoism, Mo Hua wants to learn one or two more spells to prepare for emergencies.
At the later stage of Qi refining, although the strength is stronger, the dangers faced may also be greater. It is still necessary to know one or two more spells without being overwhelmed by the skills.
It’s just that I don’t know who to learn from ink painting at the moment.
If he were to learn it by himself, there would be no suitable magic books.
It is not easy to go to Puppet Lao. Puppet Lao has already taught Mo Hua how to fish. Mo Hua cannot go to Puppet Lao to ask for fish.
When it’s time to think of a solution on your own, you still have to think of a solution on your own.
But there is no rush for this right now, you can take your time.
The thing that made Mo Hua hesitate the most was the formation.
He is already at the level of a first-level formation master, and has learned the more difficult first-level complex formation, but his cultivation is still far from the foundation-building stage. If he cannot build a foundation, he will naturally not be able to become a second-level formation master.
What formations did he learn during this period?
Have you been learning the repositioning formation?
With the general complex formation, Mo Hua is already familiar with it, but the more difficult complex formation is just too strong at the center of the formation and Mo Hua's spiritual awareness is insufficient, so he can't learn it yet.
But the principles of the complex formation, especially the Five Elements formation pivots, are already familiar to Mo Hua. If he continues to learn them, he will only expand the breadth of the formation and cannot learn anything deeper.
When you learn ink painting, you will feel a little bored.
Then do you want to learn the big formation?
Mo Hua’s understanding of the Great Formation is still very superficial. He only knows that the Great Formation is a large-scale complex formation, and knows little about other things.
Moreover, even if you want to learn the Grand Formation, the most you can do with ink painting is practice on the Dao Monument in the Sea of Knowledge, and you can’t actually draw it at all.
Because the formation is extremely expensive, it requires large-scale formation media, massive amounts of spiritual stones, and a lot of manpower. This is not what ink painting can do.
In addition, there is one thing that Mo Hua does not understand, and that is spiritual consciousness.
Mo Hua's spiritual consciousness is already very strong, stronger than the average monk at the ninth level of Qi Refining. Even the average first-grade formation master's spiritual consciousness is far inferior to Mo Hua's.
But compared to the spiritual consciousness in the foundation building stage, the ink painting is still far behind.
The spiritual consciousness of Mo Hua is still growing. With the help of Taoist tablets, spiritual consciousness will be enhanced. Practicing formations will hone his spiritual consciousness. In the future, when his realm is broken through, his spiritual consciousness will still grow.
Will it be possible that one day, before he has yet to establish a foundation, his spiritual consciousness will be comparable to that of a monk in the foundation-building stage?
Where is the boundary between the spiritual consciousness between the Qi refining stage and the foundation building stage?
This was beyond the scope of Mo Hua’s cognition, so Mo Hua went to visit Mr. Zhuang.
Mr. Zhuang looked calm when he saw the ink painting, but sighed in his heart:
“This child’s consciousness has become stronger again…”
He doesn’t even know how to teach him well.
Mo Hua bowed respectfully to Mr. Zhuang, and then asked: "Sir, should I learn to resume formation next?"
“Learn as always.”
"oh."
Mo Hua felt that the return formation was a bit boring, but he was too embarrassed to say it.
Mr. Zhuang asked: "What is the mystery array of your consciousness this time?"
Mo Hua thought for a while and said: "It's still the Five Elements Formation, but the level of the Mystery Formation is a bit higher. Most of it is a first-grade formation, and it also includes some complex formations."
Mr. Zhuang was silent for a moment and sighed: "In this case, it will be difficult for you to build the foundation."
