Chapter 196: wise

Mo Hua understood.

Tall trees in the forest will surely be destroyed by the wind.

He was still debating whether to spend effort to get his rank fixed, but now that Mr. Zhuang said this, he wouldn't consider it for the time being.

Mr. Zhuang is knowledgeable and experienced. If he told him not to rush to fix his rank, it must mean that now is not the right time.

He was a loose cultivator, and his cultivation was still low. Going to the Dao Court to get his rank fixed and being too ostentatious might not be a good thing.

An array master's foundation lies in array methods. As long as he learns array methods well, everything else will fall into place naturally. There's no need to rush for a while.

Mr. Zhuang saw Mo Hua's expression and knew he understood. He nodded secretly.

Mo Hua's character is indeed good. At his age, not all array masters can single-mindedly and wholeheartedly learn array methods.

Furthermore, he was only at the sixth layer of Qi refining. If he went to get his rank fixed and didn't succeed, it would be fine. But if he succeeded, how would those eighty or ninety-year-old array masters feel?

Too much talent will invite jealousy.

Mr. Zhuang sighed inwardly, thought for a moment, and said, "Go and get it fixed when you are at the eighth or ninth layer of Qi refining."

"Okay, Mr.," Mo Hua nodded and said.

After bidding farewell to Mr. Zhuang, Mo Hua devoted all his attention to array methods, building a solid foundation, learning more array styles, repeatedly pondering, thinking, and practicing.

As Mr. Zhuang said, he needed to "settle down" more.

Currently, Mo Hua's most important task was to draw the compound array on the refining furnace.

The array style of the first-grade Molten Fire Control Spirit Compound Array is complex. It contains two sets of first-grade array methods, several other different array methods, and a special array hub that controls the spiritual power of the array method.

Mo Hua wanted to integrate these into one compound array and also match it with the internal structure of the large refining furnace. The difficulty was very high.

At midnight, in the void of his sea of consciousness, the ancient and profound Dao Stele appeared.

Mo Hua began to learn the compound array on the Dao Stele.

In this set of compound arrays, the most difficult part lies in the array hub.

The array hub of this set of compound arrays requires higher divine sense strength because it is compatible with two sets of first-grade array methods. And its function is special, including the opening, closing, and control of spiritual power. Mo Hua had never encountered this kind of array hub with a special function before.

The array hubs of the compound arrays Mo Hua had drawn before only connected a single array, so they were relatively simple. Now the functions are complex, and the structure of the array hub is naturally more difficult.

Mo Hua began to draw the array hub on the Dao Stele.

The first two attempts all failed because his divine sense was insufficient, so he couldn't completely draw the array hub.

Mo Hua sighed.

Divine sense is always the first threshold. If divine sense strength is not enough, no matter how hard you try, you cannot draw the array method.

Mo Hua could only adopt the old method: erase the array hub, recover his divine sense, and draw again.

Mo Hua drew again and again, both familiarizing himself with the structure of the array hub and using the Dao Stele and his practice of array methods to enhance his divine sense.

Now Mo Hua's divine sense was enough to support him in learning most first-grade array methods and the simplest compound arrays.

It had been a long time since he had encountered a situation like this, where he could clearly perceive the insufficiency of his divine sense and needed to constantly practice on the Dao Stele and constantly enhance his divine sense.

Mo Hua even felt a little nostalgic.

He remembered Mr. Zhuang's words: as long as you keep drawing, keep drawing, you can always make progress in array methods, and you can always learn array methods.

This is the simplest principle, but it is also the most difficult to do.

Mo Hua calmed his heart, concentrated his spirit, and began to practice the array hub of the first-grade Molten Fire Control Spirit Compound Array again and again.

If he drew it wrong, he would erase and redraw. If his divine sense was insufficient and he couldn't finish drawing, he would continue to erase and redraw again.

The night passed just like this. Mo Hua's understanding was a little more thorough, but he had not completely mastered it yet.

Mo Hua was not anxious. If something cannot be achieved in one go, he only needed to have the tenacity of dripping water piercing a stone and persevere without being arrogant or impatient.

Mo Hua also thought about whether to just use a simpler first-grade Molten Fire Compound Array to get by, but after thinking about it, he still didn't do so.

The key to opening a refining shop is the refining furnace, and this refining furnace is even more related to the success or failure of the refining shop and the future livelihood of the demon hunters and all loose cultivators in Tongxian City. Naturally, it needs to be refined to the best.

Moreover, when Mo Hua learns array methods in the future, he will encounter many thresholds. The first-grade Molten Fire Compound Array is just one of them. Retreating now will also foster a habit of giving up.

Elder Yu saw that Mo Hua still needed some time to learn array methods, so he directly started the construction of the second phase of the pill refining shop.

The pill refining shop and the refining shop were built next to each other, with similar buildings and the same layout. And with the experience of the refining shop, the construction of the pill refining shop was faster. Some construction processes and manpower arrangements were also smoother.

As for the array methods, they would be left blank first and supplemented when Mo Hua had time.

At the same time, the Qian family.

Master Qian had already drawn the first-grade Molten Fire Array on three sets of first-grade refining furnaces.

After Master Qian finished drawing, as soon as he put down the pen, Qian Hong immediately instructed people to send the refining furnaces to their Qian family's refining shop. At the same time, he instructed his disciples to urge the refining masters of the Qian family's refining shop to work overtime and quickly refine spirit tools.

He must refine and stockpile a large amount of standard spirit tools before the demon hunters' refining furnaces are built and produced. This way, he can gain the upper hand in the competition with Yu Changlin later.

The refining masters of the Qian family hammered and refined iron with sweat pouring down their faces, refining spirit tools day and night.

One spirit tool embryo after another was thrown into the refining furnace, burned red, then taken out, forged in various ways by the refining masters, shaped through special techniques, cooled and polished, and finally formed good spirit tools, neatly lined up in the courtyard.

The refining masters were sweating profusely and knew no tiredness. Qian Hong was very satisfied to see this.

With these three first-grade refining furnaces drawn with the first-grade Molten Fire Array, coupled with the refining masters working day and night, the output of spirit tools was quite considerable.

Even if Yu Changlin's refining shop was built like this, he would not be able to compete with him.

What's more, those demon hunters might not even be able to buy first-grade refining furnaces. Even if they could, it would be impossible for them to have the first-grade Molten Fire Array method.

The refining furnace is the core of a refining shop's production. If the refining furnace is inferior, there is no bargaining chip for competition, and they can only slowly die out.

The fire in the Qian family's refining shop was burning brightly, but the refining masters were exhausted.

Among these refining masters, very few were disciples of the Qian family's distant relatives. The vast majority were ordinary loose cultivators employed by the Qian family.

These loose cultivators had learned the skill of refining tools, but they couldn't afford a refining furnace or open a refining shop, so they could only rely on others, refining tools in the Qian family's refining shop to make a living.

However, this living was quite hard to make.

A manager suggested to Qian Hong, "The weather is extremely hot, and the furnace fire is hard to bear. The refining masters are excessively tired and working too hard. Why not let them rest a little?"

Qian Hong was unmoved.

The manager hardened his scalp and said, "Please reconsider, Family Head."

Qian Hong looked coldly at the manager and said, "If they don't work hard, how can our Qian family expand? If they don't work hard, do you want our Qian family to work hard? The life our Qian family has now relies precisely on their hard work and effort."

The manager was silent for a moment and said, "I'm afraid they will harbor resentment and will be difficult to manage."

"No harm," Qian Hong said faintly. "You pass on my words: whoever refines the most spirit tools this month will be rewarded with an extra three hundred spirit stones. They will naturally desperately refine tools. Even if it's hard, they are willing to do it, and the blame will not fall on us."

The manager thought for a moment, bowed his hands, and said, "Family Head is wise!"
