Chapter 146: Classification (Fourth Update)
When Mo Hua saw Mr. Zhuang again, there was a hint of resentment on his face.
"Sir, didn't you say there is a threshold?"
Mr. Zhuang smiled and said casually: "There is a threshold, maybe you crossed it accidentally."
"Then am I considered a first-grade formation master now?"
"not that simple."
Mr. Zhuang found a more comfortable position to lie down on the bamboo chair and explained to Mo Hua:
"Being able to draw nine formations can only be said to have crossed the threshold of the first level. You have to study more, draw more, learn more first-level formations, and thoroughly master the method of making nine formations in one thought, only then can you be considered qualified. The strength of a first-order formation master.”
Mo Hua heard something in Mr. Zhuang's words, "With the strength of a first-class formation master, don't you have the reputation of a first-class formation master?"
Mr. Zhuang nodded, "The name was decided by Dao Ting."
"Daoting? Isn't it Daotingsi?"
"The Daoting Division is under the jurisdiction of the Daoting. There are no formation masters in it, so what ability does it have to determine the quality of the formation masters?"
Mr. Zhuang said with deep eyes, "The Daoting is located in Daozhou in the center of Kyushu. The seven pavilions are named after seven stars. Among the seven pavilions, Tianshu Pavilion is responsible for determining the grades of all formation masters above the first rank in Kyushu. Every few years, Tianshu Pavilion The Pavilion will send monks to the borders of Kyushu to order the formation masters."
"Tianshu Pavilion..."
Mo Hua was shocked in his heart.
Daoting was high up and out of reach, and this was the first time he heard the name Tianshu Pavilion.
"Is it difficult to finalize the product?" Mo Hua couldn't help but ask.
Mr. Zhuang nodded and said, "It's difficult. First, it's the assessment, and second, it's the quota."
Mo Hua doesn’t quite understand.
Mr. Zhuang said: "The assessment depends on the formation, and the quota depends on the connections."
Mo Hua frowned, "The formation master's designation is not based on the formation. Do we still need to rely on connections?"
Mr. Zhuang smiled contemptuously and said, "The formation master's grade is based on the level of the formation, but the person who gives you the grade is a person. As long as you are related to people, you naturally need connections."
"What kind of connections do you need..."
"Either you have a prominent family background, or your parents are extraordinary, or you have many spiritual stones. If you can clear them up, your network will naturally expand."
Mo Hua was stunned. Wouldn't it mean that a casual cultivator like him, who had no power and few spiritual stones, could not be judged?
Mo Hua asked weakly: "Are there any places for casual cultivators?"
"It's impossible not to have one, there will always be a few. As for whether you can be chosen, it all depends on your fate."
They say it depends on fate, but actually it depends on fate.
Mo Hua frowned and said: "If you put it this way, wouldn't it mean that the formation masters are all in the aristocratic sects? The formation masters among the lower-level monks must be broken..."
Mr. Zhuang's eyes became meaningful, he looked at the ink painting and said calmly:
"now it's right."
Mo Hua was stunned for a moment, a slight chill rising in his heart.
Mr. Zhuang gently rubbed Mo Hua's head, "These are external matters, don't worry too much."
It was impossible for Mo Hua to be careless. After a pause, he couldn't help but ask:
"Then sir, what if I'm unlucky and can't order a product?"
Mr. Zhuang slowly sat up, the laziness in his eyes was gone, and his sharpness was slightly revealed, showing his sternness in the plainness:
"The formation master seeks the way of heaven and fully understands all principles. He is not defined by any common things, nor is he judged by any monk."
"The Taoist court can determine the quality, but what it determines is their quality, and what it determines is the quality of power and profit."
"What the formation master is really looking for is not the level of power, but the character of the great avenue of heaven and earth!"
Mo Hua was shocked in his heart, his consciousness became clear for a moment, and he felt suddenly enlightened.
"Thank you sir for your teaching."
Mo Hua stood up respectfully and bowed deeply to Mr. Zhuang.
Mr. Zhuang nodded, and then said casually: "However, Daoting's final product must be finalized."
"Ah?" Mo Hua was stunned.
"After being approved by the Taoist court, your status will be different. From now on, you will speak more forcefully, and it will be easier to do things. Cats and dogs will not jump around in front of you. There are also free spiritual stones. If you don't take it, it will be free... …”
Mo Hua was shocked again, thinking that Mr. Zhuang was indeed quite... pragmatic.
"Then what if I can't determine the top grade?" Mo Hua asked weakly.
Mr. Zhuang glanced at Mo Hua lightly and said, "There's no rush."
"Aren't you in a hurry to order something?"
"There's no rush if I can't decide."
"Well……"
Mr. Zhuang said: "How old are you? When you go to order the products, the people who will take the assessment with you are either middle-aged monks or gray-haired old men. They are more anxious than you. Why are you anxious?"
"Oh." After thinking about it, Mo Hua felt much more relaxed.
"But what if you still can't decide?"
Ink painting is more realistic.
Mr. Zhuang couldn't help but ruffled Mo Hua's hair again, "If you still can't decide, you can just go and order the second grade."
Mo Hua was stunned, "Second grade?"
"The first level will be stuck, but the second level will not. Tianshu Pavilion is not all idiots. Those who are stuck in the first level will forget it and everyone will turn a blind eye. But the second level is different. The formation level can reach the second level. , Even if he doesn’t have a distinguished background, he is definitely an ordinary person, and Tianshu Pavilion does not dare to provoke him at will. "
Mr. Zhuang said with a smile but not a smile: "If you really have the level of a second-grade formation master, but Tianshu Pavilion is unwilling to give you a grade, you can stand at the door of Tianshu Pavilion, point to the plaque, and scold them for being ignorant. ”
Mo Hua asked in a low voice: "What kind of cultivation is the elder of Tianshu Pavilion..."
"It's hard to say, the level must be a hole..."
Mo Hua opened his mouth wide. He had never heard of it.
Mo Hua looked at Mr. Zhuang and asked quietly: "Sir, you have never scolded Mr. Ge, have you?"
Standing at someone's door, scolding someone's elder.
If Mr. Zhuang had never done it before, how could he be so familiar with it?
"I never scold people." Mr. Zhuang said.
Mo Hua looked at Mr. Zhuang again.
He had a fairy-like appearance and elegant manners. Even when he was lying down, he had a sense of elegance and freedom.
Mo Hua thought: Mr. Zhuang does not look like someone who would scold people, but it is hard to say what he actually does.
Then Mr. Zhuang gently tapped Mo Hua on the head.
"Are you plotting against me in your mind?"
Mo Hua chuckled and said:
"But sir, it will take me a long time to become a second-grade formation master."
Mr. Zhuang said: "It is difficult to become a first-grade formation master, and there is only one grade. Second-grade formation masters are different. They are divided into three grades: primary, middle and high. Every time you step up a step, the level of formation is very different."
Mr. Zhuang looked at Mo Hua, "With your ability, as long as you can build a foundation and spend some time, it should not be difficult to become a second-grade initial-grade formation master."
Mo Hua was refreshed and felt that he had something to pursue again.
But he still had a doubt: "Why is the second grade divided into three grades, but the first grade is not divided?"
According to Mr. Zhuang's statement, the first grade can actually be divided into three grades.
Apprentices and formation masters who are not in the grade, and first-grade formation masters who are in the grade.
The current first-grade formation master can actually be regarded as a first-grade high-level formation master.
"What do you think?" Mr. Zhuang asked.
Mo Hua frowned and thought for a moment, "Is it the threshold?"
Mr. Zhuang nodded and said calmly, "If the threshold is raised, the monks below will not be able to step over it."
