Leveraging ground fire arrays to hunt demonic beasts indeed yields twice the result with half the effort.

Hunting the red-eyed sheep demon this time seemed somewhat circuitous, but compared to their previous hunts, it was already much easier.

Before, to hunt a full-strength demonic beast, they would first surround and kill it. After the demonic beast escaped, they would continue to chase and kill, taking at least one day, and sometimes even several days.

Now, the red-eyed sheep demon was directly blasted into heavy injury, its attack power weakened considerably, and its demonic power also declined. Dealing with it was much easier; basically, they could exhaust it to death within an hour.

However, they still needed to guard against the demonic beast feigning death to prevent accidents.

But this was a necessary skill for demon hunters, so it had no impact.

Everyone stayed overnight at the camp and returned to Tongxian City the next day.

Yu Chengyi went to find Yu Elder, chatted for a few sentences, and got Yu Elder's agreement.

After that period of days, Yu Chengyi began to teach other Qi Refining late stage demon hunters how to use ground fire arrays to hunt demons.

How to set up traps, how to place the array, how to activate the array, and then how to surround and kill the demonic beast, finally how to finish up.

These processes were very familiar to Qi Refining mid-stage demon hunters because they had previously hunted demons mostly using Mo Hua's ground fire array.

However, because the previous ground fire array only had seven array patterns, its power was insufficient, so the Qi Refining late stage demon hunters did not use it.

Now Mo Hua's array skill level had improved, and he could already draw a one-grade ground fire array.

Therefore, all demon hunters, including Qi Refining late stage demon hunters, only had to learn how to use arrays.

Besides that, demon hunters also began to wear iron armor.

A part of it was previously seized from the Qian family, and another part was purchased by Yu Elder, who gritted his teeth and bought quite a bit of refined iron, inviting the weapon refining workshop's masters to personally refine it.

The weapon refining workshop's refining furnace was a one-grade refining furnace, on which a one-grade melting fire array was painted. The furnace fire was pure, and the refined iron armor was of even better quality compared to general iron armor.

Mo Hua again took the time to paint gold armor arrays on the iron armor one by one.

Wearing iron armor painted with gold armor arrays, in terms of defense, was already not inferior to general one-grade late stage demonic beasts.

This batch of iron armor was prioritized for the Qi Refining ninth layer peak demon hunters.

Mo Shan, of course, also got one set.

Besides that, Mo Hua also learned the one-grade gold blade array.

The one-grade gold blade array was a gold system array, painted on knives and swords, which could enhance their sharpness.

Thus, demon hunters were even more handy when hunting demonic beasts.

Mo Hua naturally first painted the first set of one-grade gold blade arrays on Mo Shan's knife.

Having the one-grade ground fire array for ambush, the one-grade gold armor array for defense, the one-grade gold blade array for attack, and also the Si Nan Zi Mu array for detection and warning.

In this way, when Mo Shan entered the inner mountain to hunt demons again, Mo Hua felt much more at ease.

Not only Mo Shan, as the weapon refining workshop and pill refining workshop grew bigger, and spirit stone income increased, these arrays would gradually be popularized to all demon hunters.

From this point on, all demon hunters' hunting processes were closely related to arrays.

Arrays were also widely applied in demon hunters' hunting, making it safer, more convenient, and more efficient.

Now all demon hunters on Dahei Mountain recognized Mo Hua.

What they wore on their bodies, what they used in their hands, what they set up in traps, were all arrays painted by Mo Hua.

It was precisely because they had personally experienced it that they understood how important arrays were.

Benefiting from these arrays, hunting demonic beasts now was a world of difference compared to before.

With the blessing of arrays, when they hunted demons, they didn't need to worry about getting injured at any moment, or fear perishing in a demonic beast's belly due to a moment of negligence.

Their family members also didn't need to always be on tenterhooks, afraid that they would enter the mountain intact but return covered in blood.

Mo Hua could also calmly focus on Foundation Establishment.

Now Mo Hua was not temporarily lacking spirit stones. Whether it was Fu Shan Lou, the weapon refining workshop and pill refining workshop in South City, or the occupied spirit mine, he had quite a few shares.

Moreover, his parents had also saved quite a few spirit stones for him, saying it was for his future cultivation and marrying a wife.

Now Mo Hua's most critical problem was instead his divine sense.

He wanted to Foundation Establishment, which required enhancing his divine sense. To enhance his divine sense, he needed to draw more arrays, and to draw more arrays, he had to get more demonic blood to mix spirit ink.

Previously, in the outer mountain, using arrays to lay out and hunt demonic beasts, he had accumulated nearly a thousand bottles of spirit ink.

Later, guarding the spirit mine, building the weapon refining workshop and pill refining workshop, refining refining furnaces, and other miscellaneous uses, Mo Hua drew many arrays, and now almost all of it was used up.

Now Foundation Establishment was still quite far, but in the foreseeable future, whether drawing arrays or solving arrays, a considerable amount of spirit ink would be needed, so Mo Hua had to start accumulating some again.

Moreover, arrays drawn with one-grade late stage demonic blood would have stronger power.

Mo Hua again began wandering everywhere in the inner mountain.

While supplementing the map, he would also dig some herbs for Old Mr. Feng, find some ores for Master Chen, and also collect some spices for his mother to research diet.

Most importantly, he was still staring at the compass, seeing where a battle was occurring.

Once the compass flashed light points, Mo Hua would judge the direction and immediately rush over.

One-grade late stage demonic beasts were difficult to kill.

Even with the help of the one-grade ground fire array, hunting still required some effort.

When Mo Hua rushed over, the timing was just right; in most cases, he even had quite a bit of time to spare.

He also didn't need to participate in the battle. He only needed to find a safe place to hide and wait for the demon hunting to end. Then he would show up, holding a small bottle to draw demonic blood.

Occasionally, there would be situations where the battle was in a stalemate or the demonic beast was feigning death. He would then release a few fireball techniques, harass the demonic beast a bit, or test whether the demonic beast was dead or not.

Because his realm had broken through and Tian Yan Jue had advanced somewhat, Mo Hua's current fireball technique was faster, more accurate, and its power was also enhanced.

Often, with just a thought, the fireball technique would condense.

In situations where demon hunters and demonic beasts were in a deadlock, Mo Hua's fireball technique could also be of great help.

Most demon hunters were very grateful to Mo Hua and quite enthusiastic.

Generally speaking, demon hunters' hunted prey were not allowed to be touched by others, but Mo Hua was an exception.

The demonic beasts were theirs, but all the demonic blood belonged to Mo Hua.

Some demon hunters, after killing demonic beasts, would not immediately peel the materials but would specifically wait for a while, waiting for Mo Hua to come over to draw blood.

If Mo Hua didn't come, they would still be quite unhappy in their hearts, feeling that the wasted demonic blood was a real pity.

Just like this, Mo Hua was thriving in the inner mountain.

Mo Hua was a member of the demon hunters; when one prospers, all prosper, and when one loses, all lose.

Now with so many demon hunters helping, he was naturally even more convenient to act in the inner mountain.

The inner mountain was much more dangerous than the outer mountain.

But because of having arrays, Mo Hua vaguely felt that the inner mountain and outer mountain seemed to be not much different again.

Gradually, Mo Hua accumulated more and more spirit ink, and the strength of the demon hunters also gradually grew.

Leveraging arrays, the cultivation of the demon hunters did not increase, but their combat power was greatly enhanced, and the time it took to hunt demons was also greatly shortened.

At the same time, the demon hunters also obtained more and more materials from one-grade late stage demonic beasts.

These materials were transported to the weapon refining workshop and pill refining workshop in South City, refined into spirit tools and pills, and then sold to cultivators in the city or foreign merchants, earning abundant spirit stones.

These spirit stones were then distributed to the loose cultivators according to a proportion.

The loose cultivators of Tongxian City gradually became wealthy, and the entire Tongxian City also unknowingly gradually became prosperous.

And as Tongxian City prospered, various foreign cultivators of unclear origins also became more and more numerous...
