Immortality Through Array Formations

Chapter 912: Chapter 623: Unspoken Transmission_2

For himself, he spent a little effort and kept an eye on the Taixu Token whenever he could, quickly contacting Murong Caiyun to grab any task that seemed “suspicious” at first glance.

After spending some time together, Mo Hua unexpectedly discovered that Senior Sister Murong’s status within the Taixu Gate was much higher than he had thought.

With high prestige, good popularity, family background, natural talent, and ability, she was truly the “big sister” among her fellow disciples.

Thus, her permissions to accept tasks were also extremely high.

The tasks that Mo Hua wanted to take, Murong Caiyun could also get.

Thanks to this, although he was just “going with the flow” when accepting bounties, Mo Hua often managed to capture some Sin Cultivators and confiscate some spells.

And Murong Caiyun gradually got used to this little Junior Brother Mo Hua, doing tasks with him.

Because she took the tasks, she was always with Mo Hua on every mission. Therefore, she knew the most about him.

Even though Mo Hua’s physical body was weak and his spiritual power was meager, his personal combat ability was comparatively weak.

But aside from that, he was skilled at concealment, his movement technique was exquisite, and he could protect himself…

Surveillance, investigation, tracking, setting traps, coordinating ambushes, spell control… he was adept at it all.

He was particularly good at formations, understanding all sorts of bizarre, tricky, and even some unheard-of formations.

Aside from his slightly lacking offensive power, he was practically a Formation treasure chest, a versatile Junior Brother…

Every time she took Mo Hua on a task, it was very worriless.

But she had a regret in her heart, which was the Five Elements Amplification Formation.

Murong Caiyun didn’t say much, but she couldn’t forget the feeling of that formation’s enhancement, when her spiritual power surged.

She longed to experience once more, under the enhancement of the Five Elements, the feeling of spells significantly increasing in power, capable of massive destruction on all sides.

Unfortunately, there were no more opportunities after that.

Opponents who could be dealt with didn’t need the amplification of a Five Elements Spell to win.

And with opponents you couldn’t beat, the best choice was to not forcibly engage.

Originally evenly-matched opponents became much weaker after Mo Hua’s surveillance, setting an ambush, encirclement, and control strategies.

Similarly, they didn’t need spell amplification.

And they didn’t need to expend a vast amount of superior skills to decide a fight to the death.

Unless they encountered a true strong enemy, or a life-and-death struggle where they had no choice but to go all out…

…

And so two more months passed, with Mo Hua continuing to mix in on tasks.

He completed many bounties, captured seven or eight Sin Cultivators, and confiscated several Five Elements Spells. His Merit Points also kept increasing, reaching 1,130 points.

Five hundred of those points were from the task given by Hidden elder-second.

The task from Hidden elder-second didn’t originally have so many Merit Points, but he was a major fugitive wanted by the Taoist Court, proficient in concealment and assassination, and he had many lives under his belt.

These various crimes accumulated into a substantial amount of Merit Points.

Mo Hua was ecstatic.

The seven or eight Sin Cultivators he had captured after that were just ordinary Sin Cultivators, nothing remarkable, so the most he got from them was only over a hundred points, with the least being just tens of points.

But Mo Hua was also very content.

No matter how little, it was much better than painstakingly accumulating points, little by little, by setting up First-grade Formations.

1,130 points!

Mo Hua felt he was rolling in it!

He didn’t want to use the Merit Points he had worked so hard to earn. “A place for everything, and everything in its place,” they said. If he hoarded them without using them, then earning Merit Points was meaningless.

So he went to the Merit Pavilion, where under the astonished gaze of the Merit Elder, he lavishly bought six sets of Second-grade Sixteen Pattern formations in one go.

He spent over one thousand Merit Points in total.

The Merit Elder was stunned for a long while before he incredulously said,

“Kid, did you go rob someone?”

Mo Hua shook his head.

“Then did you kill and plunder?”

“Or did you steal someone’s Taixu Token?”

“Or maybe you… tampered with the Taixu Token?!”

Mo Hua looked unimpressed, “Elder, do I look like that kind of person to you?”

The Merit Elder stared at the. picturesque Mo Hua and after a glance, shook his head, saying,

“You don’t seem like it, but what you do behind closed doors, who knows…”

“I’d have to be capable of doing those things like killing and plundering, fake the Taixu Token…” Mo Hua said helplessly.

The Merit Elder thought for a moment and nodded, “That’s true, I overestimated you…”

The Merit Elder mused for a bit more.

The Taixu Token system had been used for so many years, it shouldn’t possibly be flawed. Since Mo Hua had earned them and was openly using them, he likely had a clear conscience.

As for the specifics of how he got them…

Since they were recorded in the Taixu Token, they must have followed proper rules and procedures. It wasn’t necessary for him to hassle a little kid.

“You wait here…”

The Merit Elder turned away and from the many jade cabinets behind him, he took out several Formation Diagrams, packaged them together, did the record-keeping, and handed them to Mo Hua.

But he was still curious.

“Eight He Kan Water Formation, Floating Clouds Xun Wind Formation, Gen Earth Mountain Marsh Formation…”

“These are all Second-grade Sixteen Pattern formations, aren’t they? You’re only at the initial stage of Foundation Establishment, what do you want them for?”

Mo Hua smiled mischievously and said, “I’ll study them…”

The Merit Elder said solemnly, “This is no trifling matter, if your Divine Sense isn’t enough, studying these formations will deplete your Sea of Consciousness, damaging your foundation…”

“Yep, yep!” Mo Hua acknowledged the Merit Elder’s concern and said with a smile, “Don’t worry, Elder. Elder Master Xun is aware.”

Mo Hua again brought up Elder Master Xun.
