Chapter 379: Plans

Bai Zi Xi simply stopped cultivating, propped herself up with a blanket, and leaned comfortably against the bed, listening to her senior brother and little junior brother talk.

Bai Zi Sheng and Mo Hua were still muttering.

"The Sun family is too rich!" Mo Hua whispered.

"Rich where?" Bai Zi Sheng didn't understand.

"This huge mansion, this many servants and maidservants, even the guest room is arranged so well. This room is mostly spirit tools, and even engraved with arrays. Although the arrays are a bit crude, they are also very expensive..."

Mo Hua sighed and said. These things, if placed in a large immortal city, would be fine, but placed in the remote Qian Family Town, they just seemed out of place. In Tong Xian City, even the Qian family's mansion wasn't as luxurious as the Sun family's.

Bai Zi Sheng nodded, but he was always straightforward and had no concept of spirit stones. On the contrary, Bai Zi Xi was somewhat thoughtful.

Bai Zi Sheng asked, "Then what should we do next?"

Mo Hua lay on the soft blanket, thought for a moment, and said, "I want to find the absolute array hidden in this town."

"What kind of absolute array?"

Mo Hua shook his head. "Mister didn't say, and I still don't know."

"Does Mister know where it's hidden?" Bai Zi Sheng asked curiously.

Mo Hua lowered his voice and quietly said, "I guess Mister definitely knows, but didn't say. It should be that he wants me to find it myself."

Bai Zi Sheng muttered, "This is just troublesome..." Then he asked again, "Mo Hua, do you have to learn absolute arrays?"

Absolute arrays are very difficult to learn. They waste time, effort, and divine sense, and some absolute arrays have obscure effects and limited applicability. The Dao Court's standard grades originally did not include absolute arrays. General array masters also don't deliberately go and learn them.

Mo Hua, however, nodded seriously. "I need to learn." He broke his fingers and counted, "First learn the eleven-pattern absolute array, temper my divine sense to twelve patterns, then find a twelve-pattern absolute array to comprehend, temper my divine sense to thirteen patterns, then go find a thirteen-pattern absolute array..."

Bai Zi Sheng listened until his scalp was numb. Bai Zi Xi also showed a look of shock in her eyes and stared blankly at Mo Hua.

"You... can you learn this?" Bai Zi Sheng asked worriedly. One grade ten patterns was already outrageous, and you still want to learn to thirteen patterns...

"Whether I can learn or not, I will learn. As long as I learn, I can learn one day." Mo Hua nodded. "Moreover, my spirit root is not good, and I cannot refine my body, so I can only walk this path."

Bai Zi Sheng thought about it with a headache, then looked at his little junior brother with some sympathy. Thinking of himself as a senior brother, he patted his chest and said, "Then I'll help you!" After speaking, he secretly glanced at his sister Bai Zi Xi again.

Bai Zi Xi also nodded. Bai Zi Sheng then said, "Zi Xi and I will help you together!"

"No need to trouble you," Mo Hua declined.

Bai Zi Sheng was a little displeased. "You are my junior brother, why be polite? Just say what you need."

"Okay then..." Since that was the case, Mo Hua was not polite with him either.

"This absolute array is either hidden in the Sun family or in Qian Family Town. Let's split up and investigate. You and senior sister investigate the Sun family, and I'll go into the town to see if there are any clues." Mo Hua stated his plan.

The Sun family was very enthusiastic towards Bai Zi Sheng and Bai Zi Xi but somewhat negligent towards himself. It should be that they saw that his senior brother and senior sister had the temperament of disciples from a world family and their qualifications were extremely outstanding, so they tried to curry favor. If they made some requests and probed into the Sun family's background, it should be much easier. Since he was young, if he went to investigate the Sun family, he would definitely be perfunctory towards him and would likely be slighted, so he might not be able to find out anything.

Bai Zi Sheng nodded, then asked doubtfully, "How do you know these things?"

"I calculated it!"

"How did you calculate it..." Bai Zi Sheng was very curious.

"Just by perceiving the array spirit power, through the spirit power, deriving the array patterns, and thus deducing the array's location..." Mo Hua explained.

Bai Zi Sheng frowned. This matter sounded very complicated just by listening. "Are your calculations accurate?" Bai Zi Sheng was a little uneasy.

Mo Hua sighed. "It's precisely because the calculations are not accurate that I need your help... If I could calculate accurately and know where the array is, I wouldn't need to run around and look for it..."

"So you've only learned a little..."

"Even if it's only a little, it's still very difficult to learn!" Mo Hua said righteously.

Bai Zi Sheng paused, then thought that was also true. Although Mo Hua only learned a little, he didn't even learn a little. He couldn't derive divine sense at all. Let alone being able to do it, if Mo Hua and Mister Zhuang hadn't mentioned it, despite their Bai family's deep array foundation, he wouldn't even have heard of it.

Bai Zi Sheng was a little dejected, then his eyes slightly brightened. "Can I learn this derivation?"

Mo Hua thought for a moment and said, "You can learn it after your divine sense has built its foundation. At that time, Master should also teach you."

"Okay," Bai Zi Sheng sighed. He still had some time before he could build his foundation.

Mo Hua suddenly thought of another matter and couldn't help but ask Bai Zi Sheng, "You all worship Mister Zhuang as your Master, isn't it because you want to learn some arrays? Has Master taught you?"

Bai Zi Sheng nodded. "He has."

Mo Hua was stunned. "When did he teach you?" They were almost inseparable. How could he not know when Mister Zhuang taught them...

Bai Zi Sheng hesitated a little but still decided to tell the truth. "Just when you went to pull grass and feed Big White..."

Mo Hua was dumbfounded. In that short period, Mister Zhuang actually gave them "special lessons"... But Mo Hua then thought that Mister Zhuang also seemed to have given himself "special lessons," and his heart felt a little more balanced.

Bai Zi Sheng said with some apology, "Master said that you can't learn this array, so he couldn't let you see it..."

"Why can't I learn it?" Mo Hua was doubtful.

Bai Zi Sheng shook his head. "Master didn't say."

Mo Hua furrowed his brows, his heart not knowing what he was thinking. Bai Zi Sheng thought he had a thorn in his heart, so he said, "Or, I'll secretly teach you?" After speaking, he secretly glanced at Bai Zi Xi.

Bai Zi Xi blinked her eyes, pretending not to know.

Mo Hua was slightly startled, a warmth rising in his heart, but he still shook his head. "Master definitely has his own considerations. If I could learn it, he would definitely teach me. Since he didn't teach me, there must be a reason." After all, reverse spirit arrays, divine sense derivation, array collapse – these extremely profound array knowledge, Mister Zhuang taught them all to him. Now that this array wasn't taught, it was probably because he had some concerns. Even if Mister Zhuang didn't teach it, it was actually nothing... Mister Zhuang had treated him well enough and taught him enough things; he couldn't be greedy.

Bai Zi Sheng and Bai Zi Xi both looked at Mo Hua with some surprise, and then both breathed a sigh of relief. They were studying under the same master. Before, they had been secretly learning things while carrying Mo Hua, feeling a little guilty. Now that it was explained, their hearts felt much more at ease.

Bai Zi Sheng then swore, "Don't worry, I will definitely help you find the absolute array you want to learn. Not just the Sun family, I'll turn the Sun family upside down tomorrow!"

Bai Zi Xi sighed helplessly.

Mo Hua also gave him an annoyed look. "Since you're looking for something, you need to do it discreetly, you can't let them detect it..."

Bai Zi Sheng scratched his head. "Oh, that's right."

Then the three little heads huddled together again and muttered a lot. How to investigate, what excuses to find, what the array was, what its effects were, where it would be hidden, and so on. Of course, most of it was Mo Hua and Bai Zi Sheng talking, and Bai Zi Xi just listened silently on the side...

At the same time, next door, Mister Zhuang slowly opened his eyes, his gaze melancholy yet gratified.

The next day, after eating breakfast, Mo Hua and the other two began to act separately. Bai Zi Sheng and Bai Zi Xi slightly revealed their identities as disciples of a prominent clan. Sun Ze Xi was overjoyed and volunteered to lead the two around the Sun family mansion. On the surface, he answered everything and said everything he knew, but there were some truths and some falsehoods in his words, it was hard to tell.

Mo Hua then said he wanted to go for a stroll and find something to eat for Big White Horse. The Sun family said they had fodder, but Mo Hua disliked that it wasn't good enough. The Sun family then said they wanted to find someone to accompany Mo Hua, but Mo Hua also refused. For other reasons, Mo Hua also denied them one by one, and they could only watch Mo Hua slip out of the Sun family gate alone.

Sun Yi frowned and said to Mister Zhuang, "This little brother is young and going out alone, I'm afraid he will encounter some danger."

Mister Zhuang only said faintly, "No harm." The entire Qian Family Town only had one Foundation Establishment cultivator, who was the current Sun family master. With Mo Hua's current ability, there was no cultivator outside the Sun family who could make things difficult for him.

When Mo Hua came out of the Sun family, he felt the scenery in his eyes suddenly change. The Sun family mansion was luxurious, but the streets outside were desolate, covered with a layer of exposure to sun and rain and wind and frost. It seemed like two different worlds.

Mo Hua sighed slightly. After walking along the main street, he strolled through the town once. Qian Family Town was not big. In less than half an hour, he had fully taken in all the arrays in the town. These arrays were extremely shallow, mostly only three or four array patterns, belonging to apprentice-level entry arrays. Besides, there were no other special array traces.

"No..." Mo Hua murmured, thinking to himself, "Perhaps the absolute array is just hidden in the Sun family?" That Sun family master also looked like an array master. It was reasonable for him to collect some ancient lost arrays. Moreover, the Sun family had a solid foundation; even if an ancestor passed down an absolute array, it was also plausible.

Mo Hua was about to go back, but his peripheral vision caught sight of the spirit fields in the distance. Block after block, neatly arranged between two mountains. At this time, the spirit fields were full of spirit rice. The mountain wind blew over, brushing the spirit fields, like blowing ripples on a green lake, creating layers of ripples. And above the spirit fields, there was a hazy faint spirit energy.

Mo Hua's divine sense swept over and he lightly said "eh," then stepped towards the green tide-like spirit fields.
