Chapter 56: Change

After the Lianhua Festival, Mo Hua still went to Mr. Zhuang's place to learn array methods, and Bai Zisheng and Bai Zixi also went with him.

Although the three of them were all apprentices, they learned different things. Mo Hua mainly learned array methods, and could only learn array methods.

Bai Zisheng and Bai Zixi, on the other hand, learned everything. Besides cultivation, they were involved in array methods, refining pills, talismans, and refining tools.

The questions they asked Mr. Zhuang every day were also very broad. Besides problems related to array methods, they would also ask about all aspects of cultivation.

Among these questions, only those related to array methods could Mo Hua understand one or two. For the rest, Mo Hua was mostly completely ignorant.

The foundation of a loose cultivator was originally weak. He could learn array methods because he had lived two lives, his divine sense was outstanding, and his mind contained the Dao Stele, allowing him to practice array methods without spending spirit stones. As for other Dao paths, there was fundamentally no way for him to start even if he wanted to learn.

However, although Mo Hua didn't understand these questions, he silently remembered them in his heart. Even if he didn't understand them for a while, he still had some impression, so that he wouldn't be completely confused when he encountered them later.

The cultivation world was full of strange and unpredictable situations. Who knew what situations he would encounter later? Knowing more was always better.

Mo Hua learned quite a few things from the Bai family siblings. He also had to admit that in terms of talent and comprehension, both of them were much higher than him. Whether it was their cultivation foundation, or their array method level, or even in many aspects, Mo Hua was far inferior.

The so-called "heaven's proud sons" of the world's families were probably like this.

Towards Bai Zixi, Mo Hua was very admirable.

Towards Bai Zisheng, besides admiration, there was also a little dislike.

The three of them were not too familiar before, and getting along was still a bit restrained.

But since strolling the street together during the Lianhua Festival, the relationship between Bai Zisheng and Mo Hua became more casual. Bai Zisheng would find Mo Hua to chat no matter what, and occasionally they would bicker.

In front of strangers, Bai Zisheng was a talented, handsome, and composed scion of a world family.

After becoming familiar, Bai Zisheng was more like a competitive child, and somewhat talkative. Although he was diligent in his usual cultivation and learning, once he was free, he would find Mo Hua to chat.

"Mo Hua, when can we see that demon-fighting performance again?"

"During the festival."

"Mo Hua, when the demon hunters here hunt demon beasts, what kind of Dao method do they generally use?"

"Whatever they have."

"Mo Hua, when you hunt demon beasts, can you also bring me..."

"I'm not a demon hunter yet, and I won't hunt demons."

"Mo Hua..."

"..."

Sometimes Mo Hua would answer a sentence or two. Sometimes Bai Zisheng asked too many questions, and Mo Hua was just too lazy to respond to him.

When Bai Zisheng saw that Mo Hua didn't respond to him, he secretly glanced at Mo Hua reading his array book. Before they were familiar, Bai Zisheng was still very restrained, but now it was different.

"Six Harmonies Array Hub Theory? Not bad, not bad, you're learning quite fast. Do you not understand the meaning of the array hub?"

Mo Hua indeed didn't understand, and honestly nodded.

Bai Zisheng said proudly: "Do you want to know?"

Mo Hua silently looked at him. He did want to know in his heart, but he also somewhat looked down on Bai Zisheng's proud expression.

"On the seventh of next month, there will be a demon-fighting performance," Mo Hua said slowly.

Bai Zisheng's expression brightened.

"But I won't bring you," Mo Hua said again.

Bai Zisheng choked a bit, "Then I won't tell you what the array hub means."

"I can ask Mr."

Bai Zisheng was speechless. He struggled internally for a bit, then compromised and said: "Then I'll tell you what the array hub means, and you bring me to see the demon-fighting performance!"

"No need, I'll just ask Mr.," Mo Hua refused.

Bai Zisheng scratched his head anxiously, "Mr. is very busy, you don't need to disturb him with such a small problem, and Mr. speaks profoundly. You've just enlightened, you may not understand."

Although the word "enlightened" made Mo Hua a little unhappy, what Bai Zisheng said was indeed a fact.

Mr. Zhuang's attainment in array methods was high. Things that were simple and not worth mentioning in his eyes might require Mo Hua, who had never been exposed to them, to ponder for a long time to understand.

Mo Hua "reluctantly" said: "Alright then, I promise you, but if you don't explain it clearly, I won't bring you either."

Bai Zisheng was greatly happy and hurriedly said: "Don't worry, among the disciples in the family except Zixi, no one learns array methods better than me."

Then Bai Zisheng eagerly explained:

"The array hub is the central hub of the array method, used to connect array patterns and conduct spiritual power..."

"To use cultivators as an analogy, the array eye is like the qi sea, the array hub is like the meridians, the array patterns are like the network of veins, and the array medium carries the meridians and flesh body. The cultivator's spiritual power is transported from the qi sea, through the core meridians, filling the network of veins, and condensing into Dao methods. And the spiritual power of the array method comes from the array eye, through the array hub, activating the array patterns, and then the array method can produce an effect..."

After Bai Zisheng finished, Mo Hua finally understood, and couldn't help but glance at Bai Zisheng.

If he didn't have enough understanding, it would be impossible to explain it so clearly. This showed that Bai Zisheng's foundation in array methods was indeed very solid, just that sometimes he talked a bit too much...

Mo Hua couldn't help but ask: "Do you usually talk to others like this?"

"Talk to who?"

Mo Hua thought for a bit, "Um... the disciples in your family?"

Bai Zisheng showed disdain and said: "I'm lazy to respond to them."

Mo Hua asked curiously: "Why?"

"I don't like their eyes."

Bai Zisheng's face turned cold, "Either flattering, or jealous, or disdainful, or indifferent. I don't feel comfortable looking at them, so I don't like responding to them."

Mo Hua was slightly startled. He didn't expect that Bai Zisheng, who looked somewhat carefree, had such a delicate heart.

After Bai Zisheng finished, he resumed his original expression, "I've explained the meaning of the array hub clearly, you have to bring me to the demon-fighting performance on the seventh!"

"Okay, okay," Mo Hua said helplessly, then added:

"I want to practice array methods. Don't talk to me for an hour."

Bai Zisheng waved his hand and said: "Go practice, go practice, no one is stopping you."

Mo Hua then took out the Three Talents Array to draw.

This was an array method that Mr. Zhuang had asked Mo Hua to draw before. After several days of practice, Mo Hua could barely draw it, but it was easy to make mistakes, and his brushwork was not very skilled either.

Bai Zixi elegantly read her book, Mo Hua concentrated on drawing the array method, and the bamboo pavilion instantly quieted down.

Bai Zisheng meditated for a while, looked at Bai Zixi again, looked at Mo Hua again, endured his temper and meditated for a while, but finally couldn't help it, and secretly peeked at Mo Hua drawing the array method.

As he watched, Bai Zisheng's expression became serious. Several times he wanted to say something, but in the end, he held back.

He also had no mind to cultivate and stared at the array method under Mo Hua's brush, his eyes not even blinking.

Bai Zixi was originally reading, and when she saw Bai Zisheng's abnormality, she gently pulled his sleeve, wanting him to concentrate on cultivating, but unexpectedly, Bai Zisheng was completely unaware.

Bai Zixi was slightly annoyed. Following Bai Zisheng's gaze, she then also saw Mo Hua drawing the array method, and for a moment, she also couldn't look away.

The concentrated Mo Hua didn't notice and continued to draw the array method himself.

When he finished drawing the Three Talents Array, he looked up and saw Bai Zisheng staring with wide eyes, and then turned his head to see Bai Zixi's lively eyes like autumn water.
