Mò Huà bid farewell to Zhuāng Xiānsheng, walked through the bamboo forest, passed through the grassy area, went by the pond, and then arrived under the large locust tree.

Under the large locust tree, Bái Gōngzi Wén and Bái Gōngzi Xī were reading.

Bái Gōngzi Wén saw Mò Huà, his eyes lit up, and he quickly threw down the book in his hand, asking:

"Where have you been again? Haven't seen you around lately."

Mò Huà opened the food box and shared the beef and pastries his mother had prepared with Bái Gōngzi Wén and Bái Gōngzi Xī.

"I was held up by some matters."

Bái Gōngzi Wén nodded, didn't ask any more questions, and ate the beef with gusto.

He was simple-minded; as long as there was meat to eat, he generally didn't think about anything else.

Mò Huà thought for a moment and asked him, "Gōngzi Wén, when do you plan to establish your foundation?"

Bái Gōngzi Wén corrected him, "You should call me Big Brother Bái!"

Mò Huà ignored him.

Since Bái Gōngzi Wén was eating Mò Huà's meat, it wasn't good not to answer, so he said:

"Still a few days. The foundation must be built firmly before you can establish it."

Mò Huà nodded.

It seems that Zhuāng Xiānsheng was right. If disciples from noble families or sects want to go far on the path of cultivation, they don't rush for quick success. From the Qi Refining period onwards, they diligently hone their realms and lay a solid foundation.

Bái Gōngzi Wén then asked Mò Huà, "Are you planning to establish your foundation?"

"Yes, I'm at the seventh level of Qi Refining, so I need to plan ahead."

Bái Gōngzi Xī was eating pastries in small bites, raised her head, looked at Mò Huà for a moment, was suddenly startled, and frowned, saying:

"Your divine sense..."

Bái Gōngzi Wén heard this, also examined Mò Huà, and immediately jumped in surprise, "Mò Huà, what's wrong with your divine sense?"

"Oh, my divine sense established its foundation first."

Mò Huà said calmly, though there was a hint of smugness between his eyebrows.

Bái Gōngzi Wén's mouth hung open, and Bái Gōngzi Xī also stared at him blankly, forgetting to eat her pastries.

"Impossible!" Bái Gōngzi Wén said.

"Why impossible?"

"Qi Refining cultivators can't have Foundation Establishment divine sense."

"Oh, then so be it," Mò Huà said indifferently.

Bái Gōngzi Wén looked Mò Huà up and down, still not daring to believe it, "Did your divine sense really establish its foundation?"

"Didn't you say it was impossible?"

Bái Gōngzi Wén scratched his head and mumbled, "That shouldn't be right. I've never heard of divine sense establishing its foundation first..."

Mò Huà pinched a piece of pastry, put it in his mouth, and chewed with squinted eyes, smiling.

"How did your divine sense establish its foundation?" Bái Gōngzi Wén couldn't help but ask again.

"Brother!" Bái Gōngzi Xī's voice was clear, with a hint of reproach.

Bái Gōngzi Wén then remembered and apologized, "I shouldn't have asked. Cultivators all have their own opportunities and generally don't share them with others."

"It's fine," Mò Huà waved his hand, "But I can't tell you now. If there's a chance later, I'll tell you."

Regarding the visualization diagram, currently he had only told Zhuāng Xiānsheng about it because the matter involved the sea of consciousness, and his sea of consciousness contained the Dao Stele, so it was better for fewer people to know.

At least for now, he couldn't tell Bái Gōngzi Wén.

Bái Gōngzi Wén saw Mò Huà was being so honest and also nodded, "Okay!"

Mò Huà laughed a little.

When Bái Gōngzi Wén saw Mò Huà's smile, he was suddenly startled and couldn't help but ask, "Why did you suddenly smile so gloomily, and with a hint of evil aura?"

Mò Huà was slightly stunned, then thought, it should be the evil thoughts of the green-faced little ghost occasionally surfacing. His smile was just like that green-faced little ghost, with a gloomy evil aura.

Mò Huà rubbed his cheek, "It's nothing. I ate something bad for my brain, it'll be fine after a while."

Bái Gōngzi Wén was confused when he heard this, but he didn't dwell on it. Instead, he asked curiously, "What have you been doing lately?"

Mò Huà thought for a bit. The visualization diagram couldn't be mentioned, but telling Bái Gōngzi Wén and the others about the Hēi Shān Stronghold shouldn't be an issue.

Furthermore, they were disciples of the Bái family, with deep family knowledge, perhaps they could provide some other clues.

Mò Huà then selectively recounted the events at the Hēi Shān Stronghold to Bái Gōngzi Wén.

From the hidden mountain path in the cliff, to the misty forest filled with array formations, to the midnight encounter with the fat and thin cultivators, their request for a name and route, and finally to the blood-colored pill room and the white bone pill furnace...

Aside from matters related to the visualization diagram, Mò Huà roughly recounted everything he could.

Bái Gōngzi Wén listened with excitement and horror, and also with righteous indignation.

At one moment, he worried about Mò Huà, and at another, he was indignant at the evil deeds of the evil cultivators, wishing he could rush into Hēi Shān Stronghold, kill his way through, and chop down all the evil demons and heretics.

In Mò Huà's impression, disciples from noble families in this world either strictly adhered to rules and acted according to them, or were simply unrestrained and acted lawlessly.

He truly didn't know how Bái Gōngzi Wén acquired this chivalrous nature that valued justice.

Bái Gōngzi Xī also listened intently by the side, not noticing that the book in her hand had fallen to the ground.

Mò Huà thought for a moment, then asked, "Do you know the difference between evil cultivators and demon cultivators?"

The third boss regarded him as an old monster who had taken over a demon's body. By this logic, demon cultivators should be stronger and more terrifying than evil cultivators.

But the difference between evil and demon, Mò Huà had always been unclear. He asked Elder Yú, who was also vague, estimating that they usually didn't have contact, so they didn't know much.

After all, if Mò Huà hadn't entered the Hēi Shān Stronghold, he would have only seen one evil cultivator so far - the flower thief he caught with Zhāng Lán, and that flower thief even had a broken leg from Mò Huà.

As for the term 'demon cultivator', Mò Huà had heard it very little.

"This I know!" Bái Gōngzi Wén smiled slightly with a hint of pride, rarely showing off his knowledge in front of Bái Gōngzi Xī: "Evil cultivators and demon cultivators are both bad things, cultivating evil demon heretical methods. Generally, calling them evil cultivators or demon cultivators is fine."

"If you have to distinguish, evil cultivators generally refer to cultivators who have gone astray halfway and fallen into evil ways. Demon cultivators refer to cultivators who have orthodox demon path inheritances and cultivate demon path methods and dao methods."

"Demon cultivators have more orthodox inheritances, while evil cultivators are wild and unconventional, so demon cultivators are generally stronger. Of course, this kind of evil demon heretic mainly depends on how bad you are. The worse you are, the more powerful you are, and of course, the more you deserve to die."

Bái Gōngzi Wén explained in great detail.

Mò Huà suddenly realized, and then again had some doubts, "How do you know so clearly?"

Bái Gōngzi Wén said seriously, "Cultivators who slay demons and eliminate evil are good cultivators! Since that's the case, to know yourself and your enemy, how can you slay evil demons?"

Mò Huà sighed, "Alright."

So, he had this idea.

Mò Huà asked again, "Then what about evil array formations? How are they different from ordinary array formations?"

When it came to array formations, especially in front of Mò Huà, Bái Gōngzi Wén just felt a bit inadequate.

He knew in his heart how high Mò Huà's array formation level was. Compared to ordinary Qi Refining period array masters, he was already far superior.

Bái Gōngzi Wén didn't dare to speak nonsense, in case he said something wrong and lost face in front of Mò Huà, he wouldn't be able to brazenly call himself 'Big Brother' to Mò Huà again.

Although Mò Huà also hadn't admitted he was 'Big Brother'...

Bái Gōngzi Wén secretly glanced at his sister, Son Xi.

Bái Gōngzi Xī was a bit helpless, then said, "Evil array formations and demon array formations have a clear prohibition from the clan elders. The clan teachers won't mention them, but I saw some fragmented words in a book..."

Bái Gōngzi Xī's long black eyelashes fluttered slightly, her autumn water-like eyes showing a thoughtful expression as she recalled the records in the book, and after a moment, she continued, "Evil array formations and demon array formations roughly use flesh and blood as the array medium, draw array patterns with evil thoughts, reverse the great dao as the array hub, and refine human lives as the array eye."

"As for more specific details, the book didn't say, and I'm not too clear about the difference between evil array formations and demon array formations."

Mò Huà nodded.

Bái Gōngzi Wén secretly said, "Or, you can go ask Zhuāng Xiānsheng?"

Mò Huà thought the same, but saw Bái Gōngzi Xī shake her head, "Mister won't tell you."

Mò Huà was stunned and couldn't help but ask, "Why?"

Bái Gōngzi Xī said, "Because you are too smart. Zhuāng Xiānsheng is afraid that you will learn it quickly."
