Chapter 224: Dao Heart

Latest website: www.mhtxs.ccAfter watching the fireworks, Aunt Xue thanked Mo Hua and then bid farewell to Mo Shan and his wife, taking Bai Zi Ying and Bai Zi Xi back.Mo Shan had an appointment with several brothers from the Demon Hunting Team to drink together.Liu Ru Hua then went with Aunt Jiang to see the flower lanterns, taking the opportunity to sample several newly opened pastry shops.Fireworks were still being set off on the horizon, and Mo Hua was the only one strolling the street.As he strolled, Mo Hua's divine sense suddenly felt something. He looked up and discovered that Elder Yu was also sitting alone on a roof, drinking alone.Mo Hua used the Passing Water Steps, sticking to the wall and walking step by step up to the roof.When Elder Yu saw Mo Hua, his eyes lit up. He patted the tile next to him and said, "Come, sit here, and have a drink together."Mo Hua sat down next to Elder Yu, took out some fruit wine from his storage bag, and clinked glasses with Elder Yu.Elder Yu's wine was strong alcohol, spicy in the mouth.Mo Hua's wine was sweet and could be drunk without limit.The fruit wine entered his throat, clear, sweet, and with an aftertaste. Mo Hua involuntarily shook his small head, turned to look at Elder Yu, and couldn't help but ask:"Elder, are you here alone?""What about being alone?""Looks a bit lonely..." Mo Hua said sympathetically.Elder Yu raised his eyebrows, sighed, looked into the distance, and said, "I'm happy, so I came up here to have a drink alone."Mo Hua nodded. It's good to be happy, as long as it's not desolate.Mo Hua thought for a moment and suddenly asked, "Elder, is it very difficult to become a Foundation Building cultivator?""What? Do you want to reach Foundation Building?" Elder Yu was a little surprised."It's still early, I'm just asking first," Mo Hua said with a shy smile.He was now at the sixth layer of Qi Refining, not yet at the late stage of Qi Refining. It would indeed be some time before he reached Foundation Building."Foundation Building, it's not difficult, and it's not simple.""Elder, just say it straight."Elder Yu choked for a moment, then didn't keep him in suspense and said directly:"The difficulty of Foundation Building is actually only two things: one is spirit root, and two is spirit stones...""No need to say more about spirit root. If your spirit root is good, your spirit power is strong, and the breakthrough is also easier. No need to say more about spirit stones. Without spirit stones, cultivation is a problem, let alone Foundation Building.""Aren't there still spirit objects?" Mo Hua asked."Most spirit objects still require spirit stones to buy. At least the spirit objects needed for us ordinary cultivators to practice can all be bought with spirit stones," Elder Yu said.Mo Hua nodded, "So in the end, it's still a problem of spirit stones."Elder Yu nodded and said, "Exactly.""Then if the spirit root is not bad, and there is no shortage of spirit stones, can you definitely reach Foundation Building?""It's hard to say for certain about things in this world. There are always accidents, but as long as you don't lack spirit stones, the probability of reaching Foundation Building is likely not a problem."Elder Yu took a sip of wine and continued, "Prepare enough spirit stones, gather spirit objects. If you fail once, try again. There will always be a time when you succeed. And as long as you succeed once, you are a Foundation Building cultivator."Mo Hua furrowed his brow, "Listening to this, it doesn't seem difficult...""Cultivation starts from Qi Refining. Although Foundation Building is one level higher, it's just one step further than Qi Refining. Later, starting from the Golden Core realm, each step is more difficult than the last, and it's very demanding on spirit root, talent, comprehension, and inheritance."Elder Yu sighed, "As for Foundation Building, originally, as long as you have spirit stones, it's fine."Foundation Building is fine as long as you have spirit stones, but among rogue cultivators, only Elder Yu has successfully reached Foundation Building in a hundred years...Mo Hua asked, "Does Foundation Building require a lot of spirit stones?"Elder Yu sighed, "It depends on the person. Including cultivation and buying spirit objects, at least tens of thousands of spirit stones are needed."Mo Hua silently calculated in his heart. An ordinary Qi Refining cultivator, earning one spirit stone net per day, three hundred sixty pieces a year. To save up over ten thousand spirit stones, it would probably take around thirty years.Thirty years of saving, without eating, drinking, or spending.This is still just the spirit stones needed for one breakthrough attempt. If it fails, all the spirit stones are used up, and thirty years of hard work are in vain.Moreover, how can cultivators not eat or drink? How can they not get sick or have disasters? How can they not encounter sudden events?Mo Hua also sighed.Elder Yu said bitterly, "The main reason why rogue cultivators cannot reach Foundation Building is actually just poverty.""There are many thresholds for cultivation, but poverty is the most despairing one.""If your spirit root is not good, you know from the beginning that this path is impassable. But poverty will first let you see hope, and then let you experience despair. Spirit stones are forever a drop in the bucket, and the great dao is forever visible but unattainable."In Elder Yu's expression, there was both regret and helplessness."Are all rogue cultivators in the world like this?" Mo Hua asked."Generally so," Elder Yu sighed, "In this cultivation world, Qi Refining period cultivators are the most numerous, and they are also the most bitter. The vast nine provinces are boundless. In the future, when you step out of Black Mountain Realm, go and see for yourself. There are immortal cities more impoverished than Immortal Pass City everywhere, and cultivators more bitter than us demon hunters are countless."Mo Hua's expression was low, and he remained silent.Elder Yu then realized that he had said a bit too much. These words should not have been said to this child.Elder Yu patted Mo Hua's shoulder, changed the subject, and said, "We can't manage other people's affairs, but at least the rogue cultivators of Immortal Pass City will get better and better in the future, all thanks to you."Mo Hua was a little embarrassed, "I didn't do anything, I just drew some formations.""Formations are the most important," Elder Yu said solemnly, "Without a formation master to draw formations, even if one, even if three or four Foundation Building cultivators appear among rogue cultivators, it will be of no help. Everyone who should be poor will still be poor, and everyone who should be bitter will still be bitter."Mo Hua was stunned.He knew that the status of a formation master was relatively high and that formations were very difficult to learn. All aspects of the cultivation world needed formations, but it wasn't to the point, as Elder Yu said, of being more important than three or four Foundation Building cultivators.Elder Yu saw Mo Hua's doubts and patiently explained to Mo Hua:"Qi Refining is the lowest layer. Stepping up one step is Foundation Building. Becoming a Foundation Building cultivator gives you the qualification to seek the great dao and change your own destiny.""I became a Foundation Building cultivator and changed my own destiny, but I cannot change the destiny of other rogue cultivators. I can wrangle with the Qian family and try to prevent rogue cultivators from being bullied, but I actually can't help them at all.""They are still poor, still bitter, still struggling to make a living, and can still only stay in Qi Refining for a lifetime. I only cultivate. Even if I steal or rob, I can't get many spirit stones.""But formations are different!"Elder Yu's gaze shone as he looked at Mo Hua, "Even if you are only in Qi Refining, as long as you know formations, you can truly benefit all rogue cultivators. You can let them make a living, earn spirit stones, and advance in cultivation.""Cultivation can be used to take lives, but formations can benefit ten thousand lives!"Mo Hua was touched for a moment and nodded, "Elder, I understand."Elder Yu nodded with satisfaction, no longer speaking, but quietly looking at the myriad lights of Immortal Pass City.Mo Hua also followed Elder Yu's gaze.Red lanterns hung from the beginning of the street to the end, and the lights reflected down. Children chased and played, cultivators bowed to each other or accompanied each other, it was extraordinarily lively.Fireworks on the horizon were splendid, market shops were one after another, and the street was bustling with people.Laughter blended with the myriad lights and the dazzling fireworks in the sky, illuminating the entire night sky.These myriad lights and dazzling fireworks also reflected into Mo Hua's eyes.Little Mo Hua's dao heart gradually became firm:In this life, he will cultivate diligently, comprehend formations, and use earth-shattering formations to seek longevity in the dao, to defy heaven and change destiny.To change his own destiny, and also to change the destiny of all bottom-layer cultivators in this entire world.At that time, not only Immortal Pass City, but all rogue cultivators in this whole world will no longer just be in Qi Refining for a lifetime!
