Chapter 238: Thousand Jun Rod

“Do they have or not families or sects that don't bully loose cultivators?”

“Naturally, there are.” Mo Shan explained, “Some families have strict traditions, some sects have severe rules, they won't do anything out of line. Also, some are focused on their cultivation paths, not competing with loose cultivators for profit, so they don't need to treat low-level cultivators harshly.”

“But these are after all only a minority. As long as you are weak, you will inevitably be bullied, it's just a matter of time.”

Mo Shan sighed again and continued,

“Our Tong Xian City is still good. In some places, the lives of loose cultivators are in deep trouble. Not to mention some high-grade provinces, where ancient families and sects have been inherited for ten thousand years, occupying an area like colossal giants. Those loose cultivators bullied by them truly have no hope of ever rising again……”

Mo Hua listened, and his mood also felt somewhat heavy.

Mo Shan saw Mo Hua's somewhat downcast expression, patted Mo Hua's head, and smiled comfortingly,

“We just need to do our own things well. These matters are beyond our control. If you truly have earth-shattering abilities in the future, then it won't be too late to consider these things.”

“Okay!” Mo Hua nodded.

“Also, your Uncle Ji, he arrived unexpectedly. If there's anything you can help with, try to lend a hand. Big Brother Ji is an upright person and willing to help others. In the past, when our family was poor, we also received quite a bit of help from him.”

“I know, Dad.”

After Mo Shan was busy with demon hunting matters and had some free time a few days later, he prepared some gifts, including some wine, meat, pills, and some daily necessities, and visited Ji Qing Bai.

Mo Shan and Ji Qing Bai chatted about old times. Before leaving, he stuffed a bag of spirit stones to him and said, “Big Brother Ji, keep these for emergency use.”

Ji Qing Bai declined.

Mo Shan then said, “Brothers should help each other. In the beginning, my family was in a difficult situation, and I also received your help, so don't decline.”

Ji Qing Bai then reluctantly accepted.

He had been rushing all the way from Qing Xuan City, and his accumulated family wealth was almost used up.

Upon arriving in Tong Xian City, he couldn't stay long with his friends and elders, so he rented a small courtyard. It wasn't big and wasn't expensive, just enough to provide shelter.

After buying some things piecemeal, the little spirit stones he had quickly ran out.

The spirit stones sent by Mo Shan were like sending charcoal in the snow.

In the past, he wouldn't have accepted, but now he was short of money, so he could only accept with a heart full of gratitude.

He would wait until his injury was better and he could go hunting demons in the mountains with Ji Li to earn spirit stones, then he would repay Mo Shan well.

In the evening, Ji Qing Bai and Ji Li were discussing matters of going into the mountains to hunt demons, when Fu Lan came in from outside.

Her injuries had improved a lot these past few days. Although not yet healed, she could already walk around.

Fu Lan was also of loose cultivator origin and had lived a hard life since childhood. Therefore, she just wanted to see if she could earn some spirit stones to solve urgent needs and not be too much of a burden to Uncle Ji and Big Brother Ji.

Thinking of the Fu Shan Lou that Mo Hua had mentioned, which was not far away, she went to ask and just returned.

“Your injury isn't good, rest more.” Ji Qing Bai saw her face was still a bit pale and said with concern.

Ji Li then supported her to sit down and poured her a cup of tea.

Fu Lan's pale face then flushed slightly red.

Ji Qing Bai saw the two people's appearance, his expression didn't change at all, but his heart felt very comforted.

After a while, he remembered to ask, “Did you go to Fu Shan Lou?”

Fu Lan nodded, “They accepted me, and the spirit stones they give every month are not few.”

Ji Qing Bai breathed a sigh of relief, “That's good.”

“But……” Fu Lan's expression was a bit puzzled.

“But what?”

“But they heard I was from outside and initially didn't want to accept me. Later, I mentioned that little brother's name, and they kept me without saying a word.” Fu Lan said.

Ji Qing Bai was stunned, “Mo Hua?”

Fu Lan nodded.

Ji Qing Bai was a bit surprised, “This child Mo Hua, actually has such a strong reputation……”

Such a large restaurant, actually also gives him face.

Moreover, he had also accidentally learned during the day that Mo Hua was also a small array master, and many arrays of loose cultivators were from Mo Hua's hand.

This shocked Ji Qing Bai immensely.

Before he came, he still thought Mo Hua hadn't learned arrays, and felt regret in his heart.

Yet, he didn't expect that Mo Hua had already become a genuine array master.

Ji Qing Bai said solemnly, “No matter what, we all owe them a big favor. We must find a way to repay them properly in the future. Especially this child Mo Hua, nothing must happen to him.”

An array master among loose cultivators, and with such a good heart, absolutely nothing must happen to him.

Both Ji Li and Fu Lan nodded seriously.

Ji Qing Bai put down his heart and sighed again, “These past few days I've walked around and looked, Tong Xian City is really different. If we can really settle down here, it will be considered living a good life.”

He had been busy his whole life, seeking only to live steadily. Now, after experiencing a wave of twists and turns, he could also be considered to have found a place to settle down.

Ji Qing Bai looked at Ji Li and Fu Lan again, his heart felt comforted, and he smiled slightly,

“If you two don't mind, just start a family here. After a while, I'll arrange a marriage for you two to become dao companions.”

The two people were stunned for a moment, their faces suddenly flushed red, they quietly glanced at each other, and then both lowered their heads.

The night was pitch black. Inside the small courtyard, the light, although weak, gradually warmed up.

Two days later, Mo Hua was practicing solving arrays at the food shop.

He first drew a complex array himself, and then solved it himself.

This piece of paper counted as practicing arrays twice. Drawing it and solving it himself was just a bit wasteful of spirit ink.

While Mo Hua was drawing, Da Zhu ran over and said that his wolf toothless stick had been refined.

Mo Hua's spirit was roused. He threw down the array that he hadn't finished solving and followed Da Zhu to the refining shop.

Master Chen handed an iron stick to Mo Hua:

“It's refined according to what you said. There are no wolf teeth, the array position is also left, the outside is wrapped in iron skin, it's very sturdy, the inside is made of hard wood, so it's not too heavy.”

“Thank you, Master Chen!”

Mo Hua happily took the iron stick and examined it carefully several times.

The iron stick was silver-white, with a tough outer skin, thicker than Mo Hua's two arms combined, and heavy in his hand.

Mo Hua tried it a bit, it was still a bit heavy, but this was his own problem, not the iron stick's problem.

Mo Hua was very satisfied with this iron stick and praised, “Very good, as expected of Master Chen!”

Master Chen happily stroked his beard.

Mo Hua took his time and drew a first-grade array on the iron stick, the array name is 《Thousand Jun Array》.

Thousand Jun Array is a first-grade array of the Five Elements Earth System. After injecting spirit power to activate it, the engraved spirit tool will instantly become as heavy as a thousand jun.

Of course, saying a thousand jun is definitely an exaggeration.

Mo Hua himself didn't believe it.

Many cultivators give names to techniques and arrays that cannot be fully believed, just listen roughly.

Exactly how heavy this array was, Mo Hua didn't know, and depending on how much spirit power was used to urge the array, the weight would also be different.

But no matter, it would definitely be very heavy. Using it to smash people would definitely be enough.

Mo Hua's idea was to first lift the iron stick, then activate the array. The iron stick, with the array's augmentation, would instantly become as heavy as a thousand jun and smash down heavily.

This way, even if he wasn't a body cultivator with a strong physique, this iron stick would still have enough force.

Using it to pick up scraps, supplement attacks, and hit sneak attacks should be enough.

Thousand Jun Array wasn't difficult. Mo Hua learned it in two evenings.

The array wasn't difficult to draw either. Mo Hua finished drawing it in half an hour.

Mo Hua arrived at Da Hei Mountain and found a large stone to try it out.

He first lifted the iron stick high, then injected spirit power. The gray-brown array pattern on the iron stick flashed, and it instantly fell heavily.

The stone was smashed to pieces, and Mo Hua's hand was also shaken numb.

Although his hand was numb, Mo Hua was still very satisfied.

He gave the iron stick a name he had thought of early on:

Thousand Jun Stick!
