Chapter 128: Two Gains

The next day, Yu Chengyi specifically went to the eatery to find Mo Hua who was drawing arrays.

"Mo Hua, drawing arrays again, eh?"

Yu Chengyi greeted him somewhat stiffly.

"Uncle Yu?" Mo Hua was a bit surprised, "Why did you come?"

"I came to see you," Yu Chengyi chuckled.

Mo Hua also smiled, "Thank you, Uncle Yu, for yesterday."

Yu Chengyi waved his hand, "Just a small matter."

Mo Hua looked at Yu Chengyi again and asked, "Uncle Yu, you have something you need, right?"

The demon hunting team was so busy, how could he come all the way here for nothing just to see him?

Yu Chengyi hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Mo Hua, ah, that array you used yesterday, what array was it?"

"Yesterday?" Mo Hua thought for a bit, "It was the Di Huo Array."

Di Huo Array... the name sounded powerful.

Yu Chengyi nodded, then said somewhat expectantly, "This Di Huo Array... can it injure a first-grade mid-stage demon beast?"

"Mm," Mo Hua said, "But one scroll isn't enough. You need to use four or five scrolls together to heavily injure a first-grade mid-stage demon beast, and then finish it off afterward."

So that was it!

Yu Chengyi became excited for a moment, "Then if you have time, can you draw a few scrolls for Uncle Yu?"

"Uncle Yu, you want them? But this array isn't of much use to you all, is it?" Mo Hua said doubtfully.

Yu Chengyi was already at the ninth level of Qi refining. To hunt a first-grade mid-stage demon beast, he shouldn't need to rely on an array.

When dealing with a first-grade late-stage demon beast, the power of the Di Huo Array was relatively limited.

"I'm not going to use them. I want to give them to those newcomers."

Yu Chengyi sighed, "Their cultivation isn't high enough. Following us, sometimes they don't even get a share. It takes too long for them to become independent. With this array, they can at least earn some spirit stones."

Mo Hua thought of Da Hu and the others.

Newly becoming demon hunting masters, it was both dangerous and they didn't earn many spirit stones. It was indeed the most difficult period.

Mo Hua agreed, "Okay."

Yu Chengyi breathed a sigh of relief, then his expression became somewhat troubled again. He gritted his teeth and asked, "Drawing this array, how many spirit stones would it cost, ah..."

This array shouldn't be simple, at least more difficult than the Tie Jia Array. The compensation should be higher, but he really couldn't afford many spirit stones.

Yu Chengyi finally experienced his father's mindset.

Clearly knowing he was imposing on others, yet he still had to shamelessly speak. Clearly unable to give many spirit stones, yet he still had to beg others to do things for him.

Moreover, the one he was begging was a child in his teens.

The always forthright Yu Chengyi couldn't help but lower his eyes, too embarrassed to look up at Mo Hua.

Mo Hua sighed in his heart.

Whether it was Elder Yu or Uncle Yu, they were both proud people, but they could also temporarily put down their status and face for other demon hunting masters.

Respect arose in Mo Hua's heart. His black eyes flashed, and then he chuckled,

"Uncle Yu, let's do a business deal."

Yu Chengyi was stunned, "Do business?"

"Mm, do business!"

Mo Hua said, "You just give me the spirit ink. I'll draw the arrays, and you let people take them to hunt demons. After splitting the spirit stones earned, give me a share as compensation for drawing the arrays."

Yu Chengyi's eyes also lit up. He sighed, "That's a good idea!"

"But I still have one condition," Mo Hua added.

"What condition? Just say it!" Yu Chengyi said forthrightly. He also didn't want Mo Hua to suffer a loss.

"After the demon beast dies, I want the demon blood."

"Demon blood?" Yu Chengyi's expression was doubtful, "What do you want the demon blood for?"

"To mix with spirit ink and draw arrays."

As soon as he heard it was for drawing arrays, Yu Chengyi immediately nodded, "That's no problem. No one wants the demon blood, it's all yours."

"However," Yu Chengyi thought for a moment and then said, "Can we help you collect this demon blood? Da Hei Mountain is quite dangerous. If you don't have to go, then don't go."

"It requires the blood extraction technique, so I have to do it myself," Mo Hua said.

"Is that so..."

Yu Chengyi was a bit regretful. He didn't want Mo Hua to take risks, but if Mo Hua didn't go, it wouldn't work.

"Then you must be extremely careful," Yu Chengyi warned.

"Mm, mm, Uncle Yu, rest assured. I have a sense of propriety."

The two discussed some other trivial details, then Yu Chengyi said,

"Then I'll go back first and won't disturb you from drawing arrays."

When he left, he also conveniently bought several Jin of beef.

Mo Hua waved his hand and bid him farewell.

Yu Chengyi carried the beef and left the eatery. A weight was lifted from his heart, and he suddenly felt refreshed.

"What a good child, ah..."

He was both smart and sensible, and understanding, and so talented in arrays.

Indeed, older ginger is spicier. His old man's judgment of people was truly accurate.

Initially, his father told him to come and see Mo Hua and get familiar, and he was somewhat unwilling. Now, he wished he could move next door to Mo Shan's home.

They saw each other every day, this was truly getting familiar.

"When I go back, I'll instruct Old Zhao and the others. If you encounter this child Mo Hua in the mountains, take care of him a bit, and don't let him have any mishaps!"

Yu Chengyi said silently in his heart.

After Yu Chengyi left, Mo Hua also breathed a sigh of relief.

He was originally thinking about how to stock more demon blood to mix with spirit ink.

Relying only on Da Hu and the two others, the manpower was insufficient. He couldn't keep asking Uncle Yu to lend him people, right?

Now it was good. He just needed to draw the arrays, and then go and use the blood extraction technique to extract the demon blood. And those new demon hunting masters could also gain experience hunting demons, and conveniently earn some spirit stones.

After all, demon hunting masters were not very wealthy.

Thinking this way, he helped Uncle Yu with his busy work, and Uncle Yu also helped him with his. It counted as killing two birds with one stone.

Mo Hua quickly drew several scrolls of the Di Huo Array and handed them to Yu Chengyi.

Yu Chengyi let people try using the Di Huo Array to hunt demon beasts, but they failed.

The reason was in the traps.

Other demon hunting masters could also set traps, but the placement was not good enough, and the methods were relatively crude, making it very easy for demon beasts to see through.

If a demon beast didn't fall into a trap, it wouldn't be trapped. If it wasn't trapped, it naturally couldn't detonate the Di Huo Array.

Yu Chengyi came to ask Mo Hua if he had any ideas.

Mo Hua thought for a bit and then recommended Uncle Chu—Chu Guangshan.

Originally, Mo Hua learned the method of setting traps from Uncle Chu. Naturally, it was best to find him for this kind of matter.

So, the heavily injured Chu Guangshan, who was unable to hunt demons again, rejoined the demon hunting team and entered Da Hei Mountain.

He was responsible for observing demon beast tracks, placing traps, and then setting up Mo Hua's Di Huo Array. Afterward, he would use a fire stone bow and arrow to detonate the Di Huo Array.

After the Di Huo Array exploded, he didn't even need to take action. Other demon hunting masters would naturally deal with the demon beast.

In this way, even though he was heavily injured and unable to fight with demon beasts, he could still help hunt demon beasts and finally still get a significant amount of spirit stones.

With the spirit stones he received, Chu Guangshan bought many things and visited Mo Hua together with Jiang Yun to thank him.

But the couple were both not good with words.

Jiang Yun's face was red, and Chu Guangshan also stammered, not knowing what to say.

Mo Hua looked at the couple's awkwardness, which was both touching and somewhat exasperating.

He thought that the old saying was indeed correct: "Not a family, not entering a door."
