Chapter 195: The Big Furnace

After learning the one-pin molten fire array, the next step is to formally draw it on the refining furnace.

The next day, Elder Yu notified Mo Hua that the refining furnace had been delivered.

A large refining furnace several zhang high stood majestically in the courtyard.

Its form was ancient and simple, standing on three legs, with a top cover like eaves and a belly large like a basin. It was engraved all over with cloud patterns, cast from fine iron, emitting a deep black-gray luster.

Mo Hua looked up at the refining furnace and couldn't help but open his mouth wide.

Mo Hua, being only ten years old, looked even smaller standing in front of the refining furnace.

Not only was Mo Hua surprised, but Master Chen, who was standing beside him, was also shocked.

He circled around the refining furnace, walking back and forth, looking left and right, wanting to reach out and touch it, but daring not to, as if this refining furnace was just an imagined illusion that would instantly disappear with a touch.

In his life, he had never seen such a large refining furnace.

When he was young and seeking knowledge, he always rented refining furnaces from others. They were small and simple, and the fire power was not strong. An iron rod would take half a day to heat. It was time-consuming and laborious, and still he couldn't refine spiritual tools well.

Later, he worked as a refining helper, refining day and night, and saved spiritual stones for a long time before purchasing his own refining furnace. With his own refining furnace, he was also qualified to open his own refining business.

His refining furnace was not big, and his refining business was also small, but he was already very satisfied.

So many refining masters, perhaps having mixed for a lifetime, do not have their own refining furnace, let alone open a refining business.

He had also been to other large refining businesses to learn and had seen real one-pin refining furnaces. The huge refining furnaces and the blazing flames within them made him endlessly envious.

But those belonged to others, unrelated to him. He could only look, and perhaps in his life he might not be able to use a one-pin refining furnace to refine a spiritual tool.

However, now, a brand new and intact refining furnace was just placed in front of him.

This was a real one-pin refining furnace, and moreover, it was bigger than all the one-pin refining furnaces he had previously seen.

And he could use this refining furnace to refine spiritual tools!

Master Chen just thinking about it felt as if he were in a dream, still finding it hard to believe.

Elder Yu said somewhat proudly, "How is it? This refining furnace is big enough, right?"

Mo Hua nodded and slowly said, "This is a bit too big, isn't it?"

"Didn't you tell me to get a refining furnace, the bigger the better?"

"I did say that, but this is a bit too big..." Mo Hua smacked his tongue, then asked:

"Are all one-pin refining furnaces this big?"

"No, this one is particularly big, which is why it couldn't sell."

Mo Hua was stunned. "Couldn't sell?"

"Yes, it's big and useless, so it couldn't sell." Elder Yu looked at the refining furnace in front of him and said, "Generally, small refining businesses use smaller refining furnaces. Medium-large refining businesses, even if they use a one-pin refining furnace, also don't find it worthwhile to use such a big one."

"The bigger the refining furnace, the harder the arrays inside are to draw, and more materials are used, making the manufacturing cost expensive, and the selling price also expensive. If we hadn't dug a spiritual mine and were financially strong, we couldn't afford it either."

"Since it couldn't sell, why did they make such a big refining furnace?" Mo Hua asked puzzledly.

"If they didn't make it, how would they know it couldn't sell?" Elder Yu patted the refining furnace. "Moreover, isn't it sold now? We bought it!"

Mo Hua was momentarily unable to refute.

Elder Yu laughed again. "We also got a bargain. This refining furnace had been sitting for several years, no one inquired, which just gave me an excuse to heavily lower the price."

Mo Hua was secretly shocked. Elder Yu felt he was "ruthless," so this price must have been lowered how ruthlessly...

"Okay, I've also gotten the refining furnace. The rest is up to you." Elder Yu patted Mo Hua's small shoulder.

"Good, rest assured!"

Mo Hua had people first disassemble the refining furnace, then measure its size and specifications. Mo Hua recorded them one by one on paper, then began to consider designing the array.

This big refining furnace was just right for Mo Hua to try drawing a one-pin molten fire complex array.

But there are many kinds of complex arrays containing the one-pin molten fire array, and the specifications and forms of refining furnaces are also very different. So, which array style to use, how to build the complex array, and how to draw the array on the refining furnace requires careful consideration from Mo Hua.

Mo Hua selected and selected, finally choosing an array named "One-pin Molten Fire Control Spirit Complex Array" to use on this large one-pin refining furnace.

The One-pin Molten Fire Control Spirit Complex Array is constituted by a basic five elements array hub structure, with the array hub maintaining two one-pin molten fire arrays, one gathering spirit array, one cold qi array, and one metal stone array.

In total, one array hub and five arrays, among which even includes two one-pin arrays!

This is the most difficult set of arrays Mo Hua has drawn so far. The divine sense consumption is huge, and the demand for divine sense strength is also astonishing.

Mo Hua thought it through. If he could learn it, then he would draw this set of complex arrays. If he couldn't learn it, then he would cut corners and omit one one-pin molten fire array. This way, the difficulty of the entire complex array would drop a lot.

However, this is a compromised approach, and also a fallback method.

If possible, Mo Hua still wants to try to draw this set of complex arrays.

After all, once this village is passed, there is no such shop. The next time someone might not spend big money to buy such a large one-pin refining furnace for Mo Hua to practice drawing arrays.

Mo Hua still cherishes the opportunity to learn and apply, to practice arrays, very much.

Mo Hua spent some time designing the array diagram according to the specifications and size of the refining furnace, the internal wall layout, and the basic arrays needed for the One-pin Molten Fire Control Spirit Complex Array.

Mo Hua checked it once, feeling there were no omissions. What he should consider, he had considered—or rather, what he could consider, he had considered.

Afterward, Mo Hua took this array diagram to Mr. Zhuang to look at.

Mr. Zhuang couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, thinking to himself that the things his disciple brought to ask about were more outrageous each time.

He was only at Qi Refining six layer, yet he had just brought a complex array containing two one-pin arrays to consult, and this was still adjusted by himself according to the refining furnace.

Although not perfect, the basic things were considered, and it could barely be used.

Mr. Zhuang glanced at it and casually pointed out a few places. "Think about these places again. If you draw it like this, the spiritual power circulation will be obstructed, and it will consume more spiritual stones during refining."

Mo Hua hurriedly nodded.

Spiritual stones are not easy to come by, must not waste them!

"Also, the role of the array hub here is not just to connect the single arrays to build a complex array, but to play the role of opening and closing and controlling the spirit. Use the array hub to control the amount of spiritual power transmission, thereby adjusting the size of the refining furnace's heat. When you draw, experience it carefully."

Mr. Zhuang pointed out again.

"Okay, teacher."

Mo Hua asked a few more questions, and Mr. Zhuang answered them one by one.

When Mo Hua finished asking questions and got up to bow and say goodbye, he suddenly remembered another question and humbly asked, "Teacher, do I now have the strength of a one-pin array master?"

Mr. Zhuang looked at him silently. "Yes."

You have started to draw a double one-pin array complex array. If this is not one-pin, then in this cultivation world, there are not many cultivators who can be called one-pin array masters.

Mr. Zhuang thought silently to himself.

Mo Hua asked again, "Then should I go participate in the Dao Court's fixed rank?"

Mr. Zhuang was silent. He pondered for a long time, then said, "It's not urgent for now. Becoming famous young is not necessarily a good thing. You have a lot to learn. First settle down a bit."
