Chapter 40 Plan

Teacher Yan stared at Mo Hua's test paper, thought for a moment, and then marked the test paper with a "A".

Teacher Yan then corrected the formations of other disciples. After a while, he remembered something and turned out the previous test paper again, and raised all the "B" grades of other disciples to "A".

In this way, Mo Hua was not the only disciple who got "A".

After correcting, Teacher Yan sat at the desk and pondered for a long time, muttering:

"I should not be able to stay in Tongxianmen anymore..."

When the formation test paper was handed out, Mo Hua saw the "A" on it and nodded, but he was curious in his heart, could other disciples in the Qi Refining Period really draw the Dingshui Formation...

This is a formation with six formation patterns.

Mo Hua specifically inquired about it and heard that some other disciples also got the first-class. In addition to being surprised, he also sighed:

"There are always people better than you. My formation level is not good enough, so I must not be complacent!"

But what Mo Hua didn't know was that his "first-class" was a little different from others'.

His "first-class" was real, while others' "first-class" was actually watered down by Teacher Yan...

After that, Mo Hua planned to continue practicing in Tongxianmen, learning formations, and then consider choosing a technique after a while. But half a month later, he heard something extremely outrageous:

"Teacher Yan is leaving Tongxianmen, and the outer sect of Tongxianmen will no longer teach formations from now on..."

Mo Hua stood there in a daze.

Formations, there is no more to learn...

Mo Hua went to find Teacher Yan, who looked at Mo Hua with a complicated expression and said nothing, only asking Mo Hua to go back first and come back to him in a few days.

After Mo Hua left, Instructor Yan went to find Manager Mo.

"I asked you to do something, is there any news?"

Manager Mo handed Instructor Yan a letter, "The person you are looking for is no longer in Tongxian City. Here is his clue, but I can't guarantee whether it is true or not."

"Thank you."

Manager Mo hesitated, but still said: "Are you really planning to leave Tongxianmen?"

"Not only Tongxianmen, I will also leave Tongxian City."

"Will you come back in the future?"

"It's hard to say," Instructor Yan smiled bitterly, "Like you said, let it be."

Manager Mo was ready to persuade, but after thinking about it, he said nothing, because he knew he couldn't persuade him.

"Then, what about that kid Mo Hua? What are you going to do?" Manager Mo said, "If you're not here, no one in Tongxian Sect can teach him..."

"I have my own plan. Mo Hua's talent for formations..."

Very scary...

Judge Yan said silently in his heart, but he didn't say it clearly. He just said, "...He has good talent, but it's a pity that he can't learn formations. He and I have a teacher-disciple relationship. I will find a way to deal with the future."

Manager Mo nodded and looked at his senior brother in front of him. He didn't know if he would see him again after this separation. He had a lot to say, but he didn't know where to start.

The life span of a cultivator is long, and separation is even longer.

In the end, they looked at each other in silence and had to use tea instead of wine. The two drank a cup.

"Take care!" Manager Mo said.

"Take care!"

Judge Yan nodded, and under the gaze of Manager Mo, he left Youyuanzhai and disappeared into the bustling and noisy streets.

If you can't teach formations, it's meaningless to stay in the outer gate of Tongxianmen. Besides, Yan Jiaoxi has always kept the matter of Lingshu formation map in mind and will not give up.

Before leaving Tongxian City, the last thing Yan Jiaoxi had to do was to find a formation master for Mo Hua.

He prepared some fine wine and tea gifts and knocked on the door of a cave on the north street of Tongxian City.

This cave is one of the largest caves on the street, luxurious and magnificent.

The owner of the cave is one of the only two first-class formation masters in Tongxian City. His surname is Luo, and most cultivators respect him as Master Luo.

Yan Jiaoxi offered tea gifts to show his purpose.

Master Luo and Instructor Yan were quite close friends, and upon hearing this, he was puzzled and said, "This boy is really so talented that he asked Brother Yan to come and plead for him."

Instructor Yan showed Master Luo the "Bright Fire Formation" drawn by Mo Hua, "This is the formation he drew when he was at the third level of Qi Refining."

He didn't take out the "Fixing Water Formation" with five and a half formation patterns drawn by Mo Hua because he didn't want to be too ostentatious.

And generally speaking, at the third level of Qi Refining, if one can draw a formation with three formation patterns, his formation talent is already outstanding.

Master Luo's eyes lit up, and he nodded and said, "Not bad indeed!"

Master Luo looked through the Bright Fire Formation diagram and asked, "Which family is this child from? The Qian family? The An family or the Chen family?"

Instructor Yan was silent for a while, and said, "He is not from a family, but just a casual cultivator."

Master Luo stopped talking, and his interest faded a lot.

Instructor Yan tried to ask, "Master, do you have any concerns?"

"It's not easy to teach casual cultivators..." Master Luo said.

"Brother Luo..."

Master Luo waved his hand and said, "Brother Yan, I understand what you said, but you should know how troublesome it is to take a casual cultivator as an apprentice."

"Mo Hua is young, but he is well-behaved, sensible, hardworking, and has a very high talent in formation. As long as Brother Luo gives him some advice, his future in formation will be limitless." Yan Jiaoxi said sincerely.

"That's not the case." Master Luo sighed and said:

"Let's not talk about how talented this child is. Just the tuition fee for becoming a disciple, can he afford it?"

Master Luo stood up and paced slowly, "It's not that I covet these tuition fees, but there are always rules for becoming a disciple. I have so many disciples, and each disciple pays a lot of tuition fees. If he can't afford it, or pays too little, how can I explain it to the other disciples? Even if they dare not say anything, they must have a grudge in their hearts, thinking that I am biased and cannot treat everyone equally."

"Not only the tuition fee for becoming a disciple, but also the tuition fee for becoming a disciple, but also the tuition fee for becoming a disciple, which is not a small amount. I have accepted so many disciples, and each disciple pays a lot of tuition fees. If he can't afford it, or pays too little, how can I explain it to the other disciples? Even if they dare not say anything, they must have a grudge in their hearts, thinking that I am biased and cannot treat everyone equally."

"It's not just the tuition fee for becoming a disciple. , the ink, paper and inkstone for learning the formation, which one doesn't cost spirit stones? Can the family of a casual cultivator afford it? "

"And even if he learns it and becomes a formation master in the future, he still has only two ways to go: one is to rely on the family, and the other is to rely on the sect. If he doesn't rely on it, then it will be difficult to practice and learn the formation. If he relies on it, it's like selling himself. His name, origin and parents are all lost. He can't help himself, so how can he have me as a master in his eyes? "

"So no matter what, whether I accept him as an apprentice or a disciple, it won't benefit me at all."

Master Luo finished speaking and sat down to drink a sip of tea.

Yan Jiaoxi was silent. He understood what Master Luo said and had no way to refute it. Originally, he just thought that he had an excellent talent for ink painting. In view of this, Master Luo would consider it. Now it seems that he still thinks things are too simple.

It's not unreasonable that casual cultivators don't have formation masters...

Yan Jiaoxi looked lost.

Master Luo sighed upon seeing this, and said in a gentle tone: "If he has a family background, even if it is only a side branch or a branch, I can accept him, but it is different for casual cultivators. There are too many concerns, and I don't have the energy..."

"It's too difficult for casual cultivators to become array masters!" Master Luo sighed.

Instructor Yan wanted to fight for it again, so he said: "This child Mo Hua has a unique talent for array formations..." As he said that, he wanted to take out the "Fixing Water Array" with five and a half array patterns drawn by Mo Hua.

But when he got half of it, he heard Master Luo say: "Don't say he can draw three array patterns. Even if he can draw four or five array patterns at the third level of Qi Refining, I won't accept him."

Instructor Yan's hand stopped, and he had no choice but to put the array back.

"Brother Luo, is there really no other way?"

"Brother Yan, you can come here anytime to discuss the Dao, but there is no room for negotiation on this matter."

"Brother Luo..." Teacher Yan had nothing to say, and could only sigh: "Don't regret it in the future."

"Many cultivators have said this to me, but Luo has never regretted it until now!"

The two of them were silent, and Master Luo served tea to see him off.

Teacher Yan sighed, looked disappointed, and also stood up to say goodbye.

After Yan Jiaoshi left, Master Luo sat in the room. A disciple poured tea for Master Luo and asked in a low voice: "Master, if you can really draw a bright fire array at the third level of Qi Refining, then this talent is really amazing."

"Yes," Master Luo picked up the tea, took a sip, and said: "But what if you have high talent? Cultivation is not just about talent. How many people were amazing when they were young, but in the end, they were just mediocre? Spirit stones, inheritance, family background, each of these is very important. Without these, talent is just a rootless plant, and it will wither sooner or later."

"But, If Master gives him some advice, he will more or less accept Master's kindness..."

Master Luo shook his head, "You think too simply of human nature. The casual cultivators are born in poverty, and their minds are often extreme. If they are not careful, they will easily bear grudges. There are too many such cases of favors being paid in exchange for hatred. At that time, not only will there be no gratitude, but hatred will be held. Why should I wade into such muddy water?"

"Master is right, but it is a pity for such talent."

"It is a pity," Master Luo put down the teacup and sighed, "but this is fate, and it cannot be forced."
