Chapter 624: Transmitted Without Teaching

Xiao Yu'er’s sect life then began.Every day, his diet and daily life were with Mo Hua, though attending classes was not possible.Because he had just begun refining Qi, he needed to warm and nourish his meridians to solidify his foundation.This method of solidifying the foundation was very expensive, requiring large amounts of heavenly materials, earthly treasures, and precious spirit liquids. The specific methods also varied from person to person, and the inheritance methods of each family in each world were different. Tai Xu Gate did not teach these things either.So when Mo Hua went to the Transmitting Dao Pavilion to attend classes, Yu'er would just solidify his foundation, cultivate, and do his homework by himself in the disciple residence. Then, he would learn some cultivation classics under Wen Ren Wei's guidance.When Mo Hua finished class, he would return to the disciple residence.Yu'er would then hold a small bowl, sit beside Mo Hua, and eat with him.When other disciples saw little Yu'er, they were all dumbfounded.He was wearing a small Tai Xu Gate Dao robe, looking like a Tai Xu Gate disciple, but he was too young, making it impossible for him to be a Tai Xu Gate disciple…Cheng Mo then asked Mo Hua, "Mo Hua, who is this little thing?"Yu'er was unhappy and said in a childish voice, "I'm not a little thing, my name is Shang Guan Yu!""Shang Guan Yu?" Cheng Mo frowned, "The Shang Guan family?"Yu'er ignored him and lowered his head, imitating Mo Hua and starting to shovel rice into his mouth.Cheng Mo was helpless; he couldn't possibly argue with a small child. He asked Mo Hua again,"Your younger brother?"Mo Hua touched Yu'er's head and said, "Sort of..."Cheng Mo stared at Mo Hua, then at Yu'er, and muttered, "They do look a bit alike...""The Shang Guan family..." Another disciple nearby said with a surprised look, quietly asking, "Mo Hua, do you have the Shang Guan family bloodline?"Mo Hua shook his head, "No."Cheng Mo scolded that disciple in a low voice, "Idiot, can you say something like that out loud? You should definitely hide it. In my opinion, Mo Hua is definitely an illegitimate child from the Shang Guan family who was cast out..."Mo Hua was also unhappy and said,"When you have time, you can do more homework and practice more arrays. I think you should use your limited time to research the Eight Trigrams array instead of researching gossip here..."As soon as Cheng Mo heard about arrays, his head started to ache. He immediately became obedient and laughed awkwardly,"Don't, don't, 'Little Senior Brother,' I was just joking..."When Yu'er saw that Mo Hua's one sentence had made this tall, strong man obedient, his eyes shone with admiration."Look, Brother Mo is also very powerful at Tai Xu Gate!"Originally, Yu'er was a bit nervous and uneasy about entering Tai Xu Gate and seeing a lot of strangers. Now, his small waist immediately straightened with confidence.He moved closer to Mo Hua, held his small bowl securely, and ate his meal.Yu'er then stayed in the disciple residence.He was cute and naturally pure and kind, like an auspicious object, and very likable.Yu'er was very close to Mo Hua.Mo Hua was also considered their "Little Senior Brother."With this connection, everyone also took good care of Yu'er.Furthermore, he was accompanied by a guard whose aura was hidden and obscure, but his bearing was extraordinary, like a deep mountain standing firm, obviously with very profound cultivation.Breaking the rules to enter school and bringing a guard.This was obviously not an ordinary small child.Some disciples who had some connections with the Shang Guan family went back to their clans to inquire of the elders and learned Yu'er's identity, becoming even more shocked.They also therefore knew what the name "Shang Guan Yu" meant, and their gaze towards Mo Hua became even more "meaningful."The Shang Guan family sent the direct son of the next generation's family master to Tai Xu Gate to be your "little follower."What kind of deep "connection" and what strong "background" is this...You still say you have no background? Who are you fooling?These disciples became more and more polite to Mo Hua.Mo Hua, on the other hand, was a bit confused...After Yu'er moved into the disciple residence, Mo Hua's days changed somewhat, but after adjusting for a few days, they soon stabilized again.During the day, he still attended classes, cultivated, and studied.Occasionally, he would substitute for Old Mister Xun to teach classes.Originally, it was supposed to be "occasionally," but Old Mister Xun became more and more lazy, saying he was old and didn't have enough energy, becoming a hands-off boss. Arrays were now basically all taught by Mo Hua.It was just unclear how much of that was true.After class, he would return to the disciple residence. Mo Hua would do homework with Yu'er when he had free time.He would ponder techniques and practice arrays.Yu'er would then seriously work on his basic enlightenment lessons.During the day, Yu'er couldn't settle down, feeling a bit nervous and uneasy, and didn't want to do homework. Only when he was with Mo Hua in the evening did he feel safe and study more seriously.At midnight, Yu'er would fall asleep.Mo Hua also slept, only on guard against demons disturbing Yu'er next door, while at the same time, his divine sense would sink into his sea of consciousness to continue learning arrays.Fortunately, no demons were foolish enough to come and disturb Yu'er.But it was also a pity that no demons were so blind as to come and provide "food" for Mo Hua...Like this, life at the sect was calm and peaceful, busy and substantial.When the ten-day break arrived, Mo Hua would go out with Senior Sister Murong and the others to do reward tasks.Mo Hua's original plan was to first assign a task himself, then have Uncle Gu send the task, Senior Sister Murong take the task, and he would follow along to mix into the task. After catching the evil cultivator, he would both get the inheritance and earn merit.But this was still too ideal.He rarely went to the Dao Court Division, basically never meeting Uncle Gu, and was unable to have Uncle Gu send tasks.From the source, it had already failed.Mo Hua sighed.He could only find an opportunity to meet Uncle Gu later and then figure something out.There was no way to handle the Dao Court Division side for the time being. Currently, Mo Hua could only casually take rewards.He would spend some effort, stare at the Tai Xu Order when he had free time, and when he saw a task that felt very "suspicious" to his intuition, he would quickly contact Murong Cai Yun and have her take it first.After some time spent together, Mo Hua unexpectedly discovered that Senior Sister Murong's status among the Tai Xu Gate disciples was much higher than he had thought.Her prestige was high, her relationships were good, and her family background, talent, and ability were all top-notch. She was truly worthy of the title "Senior Sister" among the disciples of the same session.Therefore, her permission to take tasks was also extremely high.Any task Mo Hua wanted to take, Murong Cai Yun could take it.Benefiting from this, although it was just "casually" taking rewards, Mo Hua was also often able to catch some evil cultivators and seize some techniques.And Murong Cai Yun also gradually became accustomed to Mo Hua, this Little Junior Brother, following her to do tasks.Because she took the tasks, she basically followed Mo Hua on every task, so she understood him the most.Although Mo Hua's physical body was weak, his spirit power was thin, and his personal killing ability was relatively weak.But besides this, he was good at hiding, his movement technique was exquisite, enough to protect himself...He was proficient in detection, scouting, tracking, setting traps, coordinating encirclements, technique control... all of it.He was also extremely good at arrays. He knew all sorts of strange, odd, crafty, cold, and remote arrays, even some he had never heard of.Except for slightly insufficient killing power, he was almost like an array treasure chest, a versatile Little Junior Brother...Every time she brought Mo Hua to do a task, it was very worry-free.But she also had regrets in her heart, just about that Five Elements Amplification array.Murong Cai Yun didn't say anything, but she basically never forgot the feeling of spirit power boiling when that kind of array was added.She longed to experience that feeling again, the feeling of increased technique damage and killing in all directions after spirit power rapidly flowed under the Five Elements Amplification.Unfortunately, there was no opportunity later.If they could solve the opponent, there was no need for the Five Elements Amplification technique, and they could still win.If they couldn't win the opponent, the best choice was not to force the issue.Originally evenly matched opponents would become much weaker after Mo Hua used a series of methods such as detection, ambush, encirclement, and control.Similarly, there was no need for technique amplification.There was even less need to use extremely high-consuming superior techniques to decide victory.Unless they encountered truly strong enemies or a life-and-death battle that had to be fought to the death...So another two months passed, and Mo Hua kept following along on tasks.He completed quite a few rewards, caught seven or eight evil cultivators, and seized several Five Elements techniques. His merit points also accumulated more and more, reaching one thousand one hundred and thirty points.Among these, five hundred points were from the Yin Lao Er task.The Yin Lao Er task didn't originally have so many merit points, but he himself was a major criminal wanted by the Dao Court Division, proficient in hidden assassination, and had taken many lives.These accumulated miscellaneous sins were converted into a large sum of merit points.Mo Hua was overjoyed.The seven or eight evil cultivators he caught after that were just ordinary evil cultivators, nothing special, so they only gave him a little over a hundred points, or just dozens of points in some cases.But Mo Hua was also very content.No matter how little, it was much better than drawing a grade array himself, accumulating a few points at a time.One thousand one hundred and thirty points!Mo Hua felt rich!These merit points were all accumulated through his hard work. Mo Hua was a bit reluctant to use them, but everything emphasizes "making the most of it." If he accumulated but didn't use them, the merit points he earned would be meaningless.He then went to the Merit Pavilion and, under the shocked gaze of the merit elder, very generously bought six sets of two-grade sixteen-pattern arrays in one go.He spent a total of over a thousand merit points.The merit elder was stunned for half a day before saying with difficulty,"You child, did you rob something?"Mo Hua shook his head."Then did you kill people and steal goods?""Did you steal someone else's Tai Xu Order?""Or did you... secretly tamper with the Tai Xu Order?!"Mo Hua looked speechless, "Elder, am I that kind of person?"The merit elder stared at Mo Hua's picturesque eyebrows and eyes, glanced at him, and shook his head:"You don't look like it, but who knows what's hidden...""Killing people and stealing goods, tampering with the Tai Xu Order... I must be capable of doing such things first..." Mo Hua said helplessly.The merit elder thought about it and nodded, "That's also true, I overestimated you..."The merit elder pondered a bit more.The Tai Xu Order system had been used for so many years and should not be prone to errors. Since he had obtained it and was using it openly and honestly, he should have a clear conscience.As for the specific origin...Since it was recorded in the Tai Xu Order and was believed to comply with rules and procedures, there was no need to make things difficult for a small child."Wait a moment..."The merit elder turned around and took out several array diagrams from the layered and densely packed jade cabinets behind him. He packaged them together, made a record, and handed them to Mo Hua.But he was still a bit curious."Eight Combinations Kan Water Array, Floating Cloud Xun Wind Array, Gen Earth Mountain Marsh Array...""These are all two-grade sixteen-pattern arrays. You are only at the early stage of Foundation Building, what are you changing them for?"Mo Hua smiled and squinted, saying, "I'm researching..."The merit elder said solemnly, "This is not a joke. Your divine sense is not enough to research these arrays, and your sea of consciousness will dry up, harming your foundation...""Mhm, mhm!" Mo Hua accepted the merit elder's good intentions and laughed, "Elder, don't worry, Old Mister Xun knows."Mo Hua brought up Old Mister Xun again.Old Mister Xun's name was indeed useful. As soon as the merit elder heard it, he was relieved:"Alright then, go, follow Old Mister Xun and learn well.""Okay, Elder!"Mo Hua bowed and left.After returning to the disciple residence, while accompanying Yu'er to do homework, Mo Hua spread out these several two-grade sixteen-pattern arrays one by one and looked at them with great interest.There were a total of six sets.They were all Eight Trigrams system arrays, sixteen-pattern arrays, considered common array styles, and all arrays that Mo Hua was relatively unfamiliar with.But the principle of arrays was one thing, and understanding it led to understanding everything.Mo Hua had been researching the Eight Trigrams array for some time now and had gradually developed his own insights. At this point, even if the array was unfamiliar, he could ponder it himself and grasp its essence.After the Zi hour, he would practice on the Dao Monument again and again.It took about a month, and Mo Hua had almost learned them.At this point, Mo Hua suddenly realized that he had been too busy lately and had forgotten something:Two-grade sixteen-pattern arrays were already the arrays that a two-grade middle-level array master needed to learn for grading.And his current array master grade was still only one, which was really too low."Should I or should I not go change to wearing a two-grade Tian Shu Ring?""I wonder if the two-grade Tian Shu Ring looks good."Mo Hua muttered to himself and went to the elder's residence again.There were too many families in Qian State, and the forces were complex. Mo Hua wasn't sure how to handle the grading process and still wanted to be humble and ask Old Mister Xun.In the elder's residence, Old Mister Xun was leisurely drinking tea.He had thrown all the array classes to Mo Hua and was very relieved. He now had some free time and could arrange his lifelong insights on array teaching.Then, he would hand these insights over to Mo Hua, and he could almost be a hands-off boss.It wasn't the first time Mo Hua had come to Old Mister Xun's residence.The small child at the door didn't stop him either.The room was simple, pure, spotless, and devoid of miscellaneous decorations, with a sense of returning to simplicity.After Mo Hua entered the door, he performed a ritual and then softly asked Old Mister Xun,"Old Mister, is it suitable for me to go and get graded as a two-grade initial-level array master now?""Grading..."Old Mister Xun took a sip of tea, pondered for a moment, and nodded, "Alright, go get graded..."As if he thought of something, Old Mister Xun put down his teacup and casually asked, "Which level have you learned?""Almost sixteen patterns..." Mo Hua said."Sixteen patterns, ah..." Old Mister Xun nodded, "That's almost there indeed. Learn a bit more, consolidate it, and then you'll be a two-grade middle-level master..."Old Mister Xun paused for a moment and frowned, "How many patterns?""Sixteen..."Old Mister Xun was in a daze for half a day, looking at Mo Hua, unable to say a word.Only then did Mo Hua remember that he hadn't told Old Mister Xun about his sixteen patterns divine sense.And the Tai Xu Gate elders would not spy on the disciples' sea of consciousness."Old Mister..."Mo Hua said softly.Old Mister Xun then came back to his senses, his eyebrows trembling, "When did this happen?"Quite early on...That time he went to the Shang Guan family, guarded Yu'er in the evening, killed a bunch of demons and ghosts, "ate" a sheep-horn follower, and after digesting it, his divine sense reached sixteen patterns.But Mo Hua was afraid Old Mister Xun wouldn't accept it, so he tactfully said, "Just in the past two days...""Mhm."Old Mister Xun nodded, pretending to be calm, but he couldn't help but gasp in his heart...Sixteen patterns!How long had it been, and his divine sense was already sixteen patterns!Early stage of Foundation Building, sixteen patterns divine sense, and it was unknown if it had reached the limit! This was his ancestor's grandma, what kind of little monster was this?Tai Xu Gate had been recruiting disciples for over a thousand years, and they were afraid they had never received this kind of little monster!He wanted to take some time to go back to the forbidden ground on the mountain and look at the grave of the Tai Xu ancestor.See if there was any green smoke coming out!Old Mister Xun forced himself to calm down, wrinkled his brows, and then thought of the previous matter, suddenly realizing.No wonder..."Before, he brought the sixteen-pattern Beacon Fire Yuan Magnetic Array to ask me...""So, it turned out that his divine sense was close to sixteen patterns, so he consulted beforehand to facilitate later comprehension...""Steady step by step, and also able to have foresight and pre-study, not bad..."Mo Hua saw Old Mister Xun's usually serious and rigid face change expression, not knowing what he was thinking, so he asked:"Old Mister, can I go get graded?"Old Mister Xun was startled, his eyebrows raised.Of course you can!If you can't get graded, who else can?Sixteen patterns divine sense, such profound array attainment, if you can't get graded, I'll go pull off the noses of those grading examiners.But just as Old Mister Xun was about to open his mouth, he paused again, and a hint of worry floated up between his eyebrows.Sixteen patterns...This was too absurd...If he really went to get graded, it would inevitably cause a huge uproar.He had just entered the sect less than a year ago. Being so flashy would inevitably make people jealous and covetous.Under the reputation, it was also easy for his heart to swell and lose its ordinary state, making it difficult to concentrate on researching arrays.Some improper people would also stare at him...Such a good seedling had not yet grown up and could not be ruined...Old Mister Xun pondered for a long time, shook his head, and sighed, "It's a bit difficult..."Mo Hua was shocked, "Sixteen patterns, and it's still difficult to get graded?"Old Mister Xun said solemnly, "You should know that a strong divine sense is just a good foundation for learning arrays. It doesn't mean that your arrays are necessarily strong.""Arrays also depend on talent, comprehension, and even more on temperament.""This is the Qian Learn State boundary, where heavenly pride is countless. Array geniuses are also as vast as the stars, too many to count.""You must maintain a humble heart...""Don't look down on others...""Some people's divine sense may not be as strong as yours, but they started enlightenment early, have been in contact with arrays since childhood, have family learning and deep foundations, and their array experience and cognition are not necessarily inferior to yours..."Mo Hua pondered for a moment and couldn't help but nod, feeling that Old Mister Xun's words were very reasonable.He couldn't look down on the array geniuses of Qian State!Mo Hua said sincerely, "Old Mister is right. The truth that there is a heaven beyond heaven and a person beyond person, disciple understands!"Old Mister Xun silently looked at Mo Hua for a moment and said to himself, these words are fine for others to say, but you yourself should not say them.That "heaven" beyond heaven, it's still unclear who it is...But he couldn't say it too clearly.Old Mister Xun thought for a bit, sighed again, and added:"And the most important point...""Even if you have the ability to be graded, the Dao Court grading requires quotas and recommendations. After all, you are too young and your qualifications are too shallow, so it's not convenient to recommend you...""And the assessment process is actually a rather rigid 'examination,' with a set of tedious procedures that require learning a lot that is standardized and programmed, but ultimately empty and not real... ""This will waste a lot of time, and to be honest, it will not enhance your array level.""Your current task is still to learn arrays, be steady, and improve yourself, not to waste time on these rigid, examination-like things.""Wait until your attainment is high enough in the future and you have a need, then consider the matter of grading.""In the face of absolute array strength, those trivial examination thresholds are not worth mentioning..."Mo Hua kept nodding.But at the same time, he also had a hint of worry: "Old Mister, if I don't get graded, I can't take two-grade array tasks, and accumulating merit will be very slow..."Actually, his current accumulation of merit was already not slow.But he still wanted it to be faster..."Merit..."Old Mister Xun stroked his beard and nodded slightly.This was indeed a problem.He had overlooked it before.Mo Hua's sixteen patterns divine sense naturally meant he wanted to learn sixteen-pattern arrays.But exchanging for sixteen-pattern arrays required quite a few merit points. If he relied on doing those "entry-level" tasks and accumulated them little by little, it was estimated it would truly take forever.This would greatly delay Mo Hua's progress in learning arrays.This was also against his original intention.Letting Mo Hua accumulate merit was to let him endure some hardship, get to know his fellow disciples, help each other, and have a sense of honor for the sect, not to deliberately make things difficult for him.Old Mister Xun pondered for a moment and then said:"No harm. I'll give you some permission changes. Within Tai Xu Gate, you are a two-grade array master."Mo Hua was stunned for a moment.This could also work...Mo Hua asked softly, "If you change it to two-grade, does that mean I am two-grade?""Naturally..." Old Mister Xun said, "When you are graded, you are recognized by the sect and will be given corresponding permissions. Although you are not graded now, you can still be given permission through my recognition...""Sect permission is just a kind of permit.""With the permit, you can take the tasks.""Otherwise, if you take a two-grade array task, do you still have to show a two-grade Tian Shu Ring?""Oh, oh."Mo Hua nodded, indicating he understood."Give me your Tai Xu Order..."Mo Hua handed the Tai Xu Order to Old Mister Xun.Old Mister Xun took the Tai Xu Order and, without thinking of anything else, began to work in front of Mo Hua, modifying the Tai Xu Order's permissions...Mo Hua, watching from the side, suddenly froze.A huge wave rose in his heart.Opening permissions was simple and didn't take long, but changing permissions was different.If it were before, Mo Hua wouldn't have understood.But now it was different. He had already learned the Yuan Magnetic Array and, with strange calculations and deductions, had seen through the essence between magnetic patterns - secondary thunder patterns.He had even accumulated a "secondary thunder pattern library" and used secondary thunder patterns to solve seal patterns and dense patterns.Now, he could clearly perceive that...The so-called "modifying permissions" was essentially Old Mister Xun using an extremely special secondary thunder pattern to reverse the influence of the array, change the double magnetic pattern, thereby modifying the underlying layer of the Tai Xu Order, and changing his own permissions!!Mo Hua was stunned.This feeling was just like...Someone demonstrating right in front of him, with a shiny golden key, how to open a secretly hidden treasure house...(End of this chapter)
