Chapter 629: Injuries

However, after a moment, another elder wearing a Taixu Dao robe but with a Dan furnace embroidered on the collar of the Dan Master also came over. Seeing the ground charred black and the walls covered in array patterns, he also involuntarily gasped.

After a while, he then saw Mo Hua lying on the ground.

"Don't stand there, save the person first."

The two quickly stepped forward, checked Mo Hua's injuries, and both breathed a sigh of relief.

Mo Hua looked miserable and his injuries were not light, but there were no major problems.

The Dan Master Elder took out a bottle of spirit liquid, sprinkled it on Mo Hua's wounds, resolving the remaining fire poison, cleaning the charred ash and bloodstains, and simultaneously stopping the bleeding from the wounds.

Then he took out another pill and gave it to Mo Hua to take.

He also placed his hand on Mo Hua's chest, constantly operating his qi, and with thick and pure Wood element spirit power, nourished Mo Hua's meridians and treated his injuries.

After some time, Mo Hua's pale face gradually regained some color, and his breathing also stabilized.

But his physical body was too weak, so his wounds healed slowly, and he would not wake up for a while.

The Dan Master Elder seemed to be relieved of a heavy burden. "Almost done..."

"Fortunately, he only received a small amount of impact from the spell's spirit power..."

"Rest for half a month to recover from the injuries, recuperate a bit, and there will be no major problems. But his hand is injured, and his meridians are also damaged. During this time, he cannot use spirit power..."

The Dan Master Elder felt somewhat fortunate, but then shook his head:

"It's just that his physique is really too poor..."

"His body is delicate and weak, he gets injured easily, and his injuries are not easy to heal..."

The Dan Master Elder looked at the unconscious Mo Hua, feeling a bit heartbroken, and turned his head to complain to the Dao Law Elder:

"You are at least the Dao Law Elder. If you have nothing to do, teach him to refine his body a bit. I'm not hoping for any great achievements, but at least strengthen his body and health. If he gets injured, he'll recover faster..."

The Dao Law Elder smiled bitterly, "How could I not know this?"

"But how is it that simple? If he could really practice, I would have let him practice long ago..."

"Learning that bit of superficial knowledge is useless in actual combat."

"He'll still get injured easily and die from a single blow. It's better to spend more time learning good movement techniques so he doesn't get injured at all..."

"Moreover, body refining techniques are fierce and vigorous. How can they be so easy to learn?"

"His foundation is already poor. If he practices too much, his physical body will wither, his blood qi will rush in reverse, and he will also injure himself..."

Hearing this, the Dan Master Elder shook his head and said helplessly:

"Then I'll refine a few furnaces of pills for him to nourish his blood qi a bit..."

Although the effect may not be much, it is still better than nothing.

After the Dan Master Elder finished speaking, he looked at the Dao Law Elder with sympathy again. "Be careful. Old Mister Xun will definitely find trouble with you."

The Dao Law Elder's scalp went numb.

"Why would you teach this child high-level spells when you have nothing to do?" the Dan Master Elder asked, puzzled.

"I didn't teach..."

"Do you think I believe you or not?"

The Dao Law Elder had a bitter taste in his mouth. "I really didn't teach..."

The Dan Master Elder was startled. Seeing that he didn't seem to be lying, he looked around and his face changed slightly. "Then this is..."

"It's a spell..."

"Isn't that nonsense? If it's not a spell, could it be an array? The problem is, what spell is it?"

The Dao Law Elder thought for a moment. "Looking at it, it seems to be just... Fireball Technique..."

The Dan Master Elder was expressionless. "So powerful... What kind of Fireball Technique is this? Teach me a bit and let me gain some knowledge."

The Dao Law Elder couldn't say anything.

The Dan Master Elder pointed to the place where the spell puppet was originally placed:

"This puppet, although it is said to be a Foundation Establishment early stage puppet, its purpose when refining was to withstand spell bombardment. So its spell defense is extremely high. Generally, Foundation Establishment mid-stage disciples may not be able to break it, let alone now..."

The Dan Master Elder's eyelids twitched slightly. "It was bombed into flying ash..."

And this child is just a disciple who has been in the sect for less than a year and is at the Foundation Establishment early stage.

The Dan Master Elder looked at Mo Hua again, his heart filled with shock.

The Dao Law Elder was also puzzled in his heart.

He also didn't remember teaching Mo Hua any powerful spells.

Furthermore, even if he had such spells, with Mo Hua's spirit root grade and the spirit power circulation in his Qi Sea, he fundamentally couldn't learn them and couldn't use them.

Unless...

The Dao Law Elder sensed the surrounding scorching hot qi and abnormal spirit power, and his expression became increasingly severe.

The Dan Master Elder asked, "Do you see anything?"

The Dao Law Elder frowned and said, "This is not purely the power of a spell, but more like..."

"Like what?"

The Dao Law Elder shook his head and didn't say anything. He just thought of Mo Hua's age and cultivation, and found it hard to believe in his heart. He murmured:

"It shouldn't... be..."

Mo Hua woke up, felt his head very dizzy, his hand very painful, and his meridians were a bit sluggish.

He looked around and then discovered that he was lying on a clean white soft bed. The surroundings were simple, with calming incense burning. A faint, bitter medicinal smell floated in the air.

Beside him, there was a woman wearing a Taixu Elder Dao robe, with a graceful figure, a dignified face, but also some charm, quietly looking at him.

Mo Hua was somewhat surprised. "Elder Murong...?"

His voice was somewhat hoarse and weak, as if the remaining fire spirit power injuries made it difficult to speak.

Elder Murong nodded slightly. "Old Mister Xun was afraid your injuries would worsen, so he sent you here."

Mo Hua was slightly startled and only then realized that Elder Murong was actually a Dan Master.

Elder Murong approached Mo Hua, her fingers white and slender, gently touched Mo Hua's forehead, and her voice was as gentle as the evening wind:

"No major problems..."

"But your left hand is burned and your meridians are damaged. Within half a month, you cannot use spirit power. Your right hand is a flesh wound. Within seven days, you cannot hold a pen..."

"I'll give you a few bottles of pills. Take one pill every morning and evening."

"Okay." Mo Hua nodded with some difficulty. "Thank you, Elder Murong..."

Elder Murong smiled slightly.

Afterward, other cultivators also came to see Mo Hua.

The first was Yu Er.

Seeing that Mo Hua was injured, he guarded Mo Hua's side, his small eyebrows furrowed together, his eyes moist, and he wouldn't leave no matter how he was chased away.

Elder Murong had to prepare a small bed and a small blanket for him so he could sleep nearby.

Yu Er was quiet and peaceful, not noisy or fussy. The first thing he did when he woke up was to look at Mo Hua.

When Mo Hua woke up, Yu Er's eyes were bright and he was very happy.

But because Mo Hua needed to rest, Yu Er looked for a while and then had to return to the disciple residence to do his homework.

Murong Caiyun also came once, bringing some pills and supplements.

Seeing that Mo Hua was fine, she was relieved, but just admonished Mo Hua that when cultivating spells, he must be careful and not injure himself again.

Mo Hua nodded honestly.

He also learned one thing:

He heard Senior Sister Murong call Elder Murong "little aunt", which showed that the two indeed had a relationship.

Shangguan Xu also came to see him. In addition to healing pills, he also brought many good foods.

"These are from my aunt. She asked me to bring them to you..."

"This is inside Taixu Gate, so it's not convenient for her to come in. But when you recover from your injuries, go to the Gu family. She will ask the Shangguan family's Dan Master to recuperate for you a bit so you don't leave any aftereffects..."

Mo Hua nodded and said gratefully:

"Thank you, Senior Brother Xu. Also, please thank Wan Yi for me."

Furthermore, some other disciples also came to see their "little Senior Brother".

Seeing that Mo Hua's complexion was still okay and there were no major problems, they were relieved and surrounded Mo Hua, chatting with him:

"Mo Hua, I heard you cultivated spells and blew yourself up and got injured?"

"Really?"

"What spell did you cultivate exactly?"

"It couldn't be Fireball Technique, could it..."

"How is that possible?"

"Why not possible..."

"Mo Hua only knows Fireball Technique..."

"Mo Hua, when we're outside Taixu Gate, we'll pretend we don't know each other..."

"You being our 'little Senior Brother' is absolutely not to be mentioned..."

"How can a Fireball Technique injure a little Senior Brother..."

Mo Hua looked at them disdainfully and said unhappily:

"What's wrong with Fireball Technique? Wait until I cultivate it well, and I'll show you, one Fireball Technique can make you cry!"

"I don't believe it!"

"Bragging should be realistic..."

"Just a mere Fireball Technique..."

Mo Hua argued with them, and the atmosphere also became livelier.

Elder Murong, however, said faintly: "This is the Dan room. You need to rest quietly. Go to class."

"Yes... Elder."

The disciples who were originally thinking of skipping class honestly bowed and left with their heads down.

Only Cheng Mo, with a reluctant expression, grabbed Mo Hua and admonished:

"Mo Hua, you recover from your injuries quickly and come back to teach us arrays..."

Old Mister Xun is too strict, his lectures are too profound, and he assigns too much homework. He simply can't bear it...

This "little Senior Brother" Mo Hua is good.

Old Mister Xun also came to see Mo Hua.

He had a serious expression and didn't say much, just admonished Mo Hua to recover from his injuries well. But when he left, he couldn't help but softly comfort him:

"Fighting and killing like spells, if you're not good at them, forget it..."

"Your foundation is not good. You don't need to learn these killing techniques like others..."

"If you learn arrays well, it's enough to stand in the cultivation world, and others won't dare to bully you."

"If you encounter difficulties and someone finds trouble with you, just say it out, and the sect will naturally back you up."

"Don't force yourself to learn these spells..."

"And don't injure yourself..."

Mo Hua was touched in his heart and quickly nodded: "I know, thank you, old mister!"

Old Mister Xun didn't know if Mo Hua listened or not. He nodded and then left.

Near evening, the Dao Law Elder also quietly came to visit Mo Hua.

He was the elder responsible for imparting Dao Law. If a disciple was injured, although he wasn't the one who caused it, as an elder, he more or less had to bear some responsibility.

Seeing Mo Hua sitting on the bed, his left hand wrapped in a bandage, his small face pale but his eyes bright and his breathing stable, there really were no major problems. The Dao Law Elder then felt relieved.

The Dao Law Elder exchanged a few pleasantries, hesitated for a moment, and still asked in a low voice:

"Mo Hua, what spell did you use exactly in the Dao Law room..."

He imparts spells and also researches spells, so he was very curious about unknown spells.

He wanted to know what spell Mo Hua had cast to create such great power and forcefully destroy a complete spell puppet.

Mo Hua was startled, and his eyes brightened slightly.

After waking up, he had been pondering the matter of "spell fusion" in his free time.

But no matter how he thought about it, he couldn't understand why the power was so great after forcefully suppressing and fusing the divine sense of the two Fireball Techniques.

If he hadn't forcefully reversed the spell's direction with his divine sense at the end, but instead let the spell's spirit power lose control...

Perhaps not only his hands would be injured, but his own little life would also be in danger...

Mo Hua didn't understand it at all.

It was impossible for the fusion of just two Fireball Techniques to create such great power.

Even a bit of aftermath caused him such serious injuries...

This was not reasonable.

So when the Dao Law Elder asked him, he also had many questions he wanted to consult the Dao Law Elder about.

Mo Hua thought for a moment and then replied:

"I felt that one Fireball Technique's power was not great enough. I just wanted to 'fuse' two Fireball Techniques together to enhance the power a bit, and then it exploded..."

The Dao Law Elder frowned. "Nonsense. Where is there such a 'fusion'?"

Mo Hua humbly said, "Then how should they be fused?"

"You've misunderstood," the Dao Law Elder shook his head. "So-called spell 'fusion' does not refer to mixing two spells together like dough..."

"Spell fusion is essentially the fusion of technique styles."

"And it's not after casting that they fuse, but before casting, it is already a 'fused' technique style. It just looks like 'fusion'..."

Mo Hua suddenly realized.

He remembered that when Puppet Grandpa cast the "Fireball Technique," he would sequentially condense the fireball into threads, then weave them to form a spell.

Essentially, it wasn't the fusion of several Fireball Techniques.

But it itself was a complete, independent spell.

He had been practicing according to Puppet Grandpa's method, but because he was creating in seclusion, he seemed to have learned a bit crookedly in his confusion...

But although he learned crookedly, the power seemed to be very strong...

Even strong to the point of being beyond his imagination...

Why was this?

Mo Hua blinked his eyes and looked at the Dao Law Elder.

The Dao Law Elder felt a bit uneasy being looked at by Mo Hua, not knowing what ideas this child had in his belly.

"Elder..." Mo Hua said in a low voice, "Suppose there is a possibility..."

"Two 'twin' cultivators, with the same divine sense and the same spirit root, cast exactly the same spells..."

"There are no such 'twin' cultivators..." the Dao Law Elder said.

"I said suppose..."

Mo Hua said seriously, "...Suppose there were, what would happen if their spells collided? Would they fuse?"

Mo Hua had a curious expression.

The Dao Law Elder had a bit of a headache. He was most afraid of encountering this kind of disciple with wild ideas and strange questions.

If they asked, there was some reason.

But answering them would waste a lot of divine sense.

The Dao Law Elder rubbed his forehead, followed Mo Hua's train of thought, and thought for a moment, then slowly said:

"With the same divine sense and the same spirit root, these two spells are not necessarily completely the same, because time has a before and after..."

"For cultivators, time is also a kind of law."

"The casting time of a spell, like the spell's spirit power structure, is also a kind of inherent characteristic. It's just that general cultivators completely ignore this point..."

"Then the casting time is also completely the same..." Mo Hua said.

"In this way..." the Dao Law Elder murmured, "Then these two spells are nearly the same, from the same origin. If they come into contact..."

"There will be two possibilities..."

The Dao Law Elder speculated based on spell principles:

"Either they will instantly 'fuse' and become one big fireball..."

"Or they will be in a state of being close but not exploding, yet not fusible, a state of 'mutual attraction and mutual repulsion'."

"Just like Taixu Two Yi, they coexist but mutually exclusive..."

Mo Hua's eyes lit up, and he admired it in his heart.

As expected of the Taixu Gate's Dao Law Elder, he could speculate the facts just based on technique theory.

"Then what if these two 'twin' fireballs are just 'mutually attracted and mutually repelled' but don't fuse?" Mo Hua asked again.

"Then..." The Dao Law Elder just opened his mouth, suddenly startled, "How do you know?"

Because I tried!

And I blew myself up and got injured!

Mo Hua said silently in his heart.

But he couldn't say this kind of thing clearly, so he said perfunctorily: "I guessed..."

Then, before waiting for the Dao Law Elder to react, Mo Hua quickly asked again, "Suppose it's like this, why would they repel each other?"

The Dao Law Elder indeed followed Mo Hua's train of thought and continued thinking...

"Because the essential technique style is still different."

"The technique style structure is the spell's spirit power structure, which is the essence of the spell."

"Technique styles necessarily repel each other."

"General spells, even if the same cultivator casts the same spell, the technique style structure is similar, but the technique style itself exists, and it is independent and different."

"Just like refining standard spirit tools, all spirit tools are from one 'mold'. After refining, their shape looks the same, but in fact, each spirit tool is a different existence..."

"The 'twin' fireballs you mentioned are also the same. Although everything else is exactly the same, the essential 'technique style structure' is mutually independent..."

Mo Hua nodded.

As expected of the Dao Law Elder, he thought of the same thing as himself!

He also guessed that the fireballs repelled each other because of the spell's inherent technique style structure.

Mo Hua asked again: "Then can these two 'twin' fireballs form a 'fusion' of different spells?"

The Dao Law Elder shook his head. "No, the technique style structures repel each other and cannot fuse together..."

"Is there a way to make them fuse?"

The Dao Law Elder seriously thought for a moment, and then still shook his head.

Mo Hua blinked his eyes, "Suppose..."

"Using brute force, with powerful divine sense, control the fireballs to collide quickly, will they produce fusion..."

"Colliding?" The Dao Law Elder shook his head. "They still shouldn't be able to fuse..."

"At most it counts as 'aggregation,' but this aggregation is very risky and will affect the stability of the spell's technique style..."

"Forcefully suppressing the fireball with divine sense instantly will produce a strong repulsive force, causing the inherent technique style structure of the two fireballs to collapse, the spirit power to lose restraint, produce abnormalities, release inherent power, thereby..."

As the Dao Law Elder spoke, his voice became softer and softer. He suddenly startled, his eyes revealing shock.

He looked at Mo Hua, shocked speechless. "You wouldn't..."

You wouldn't really have collapsed the technique style structure by colliding the fireballs and created powerful destructive power, bombing and killing the spell puppet...

Immediately he was again puzzled, "How did you..."

How did he do it?

Same origin "twin" fireball...

Strongly controlling and aggregating the fireball with divine sense...

Is this something a Foundation Establishment early stage cultivator can do?

Mo Hua said in a low voice, "I was just thinking randomly and asking casually..."

The Dao Law Elder silently looked at Mo Hua and thought in his heart, I'd believe you if you had a ghost.

At the same time, he also sighed in his heart.

As expected of Old Mister Xun.

Sharp eyes discerning talent!

The disciple he selected is not only very talented in arrays.

In spells, he can also open new paths and has such insightful research...

It's just... Since he is a disciple selected by Old Mister Xun, he shouldn't ask more about these foundations.

The Dao Law Elder thought for a moment, his gaze sinking slightly, seemingly making a decision. He told Mo Hua the "spell technique theory" that he originally shouldn't have imparted:

"Spirit power outward constitutes a spell. A spell is the outer clothing of spirit power."

"But the inherent essence of spirit power itself, its change, also contains powerful power..."

"General spells use spirit power to constitute a technique style and form a spell, thereby possessing killing power..."

"But conversely..."

The Dao Law Elder's gaze condensed, and his voice sank slightly:

"Through a spell, causing a change in the technique style structure, thereby causing spirit power abnormalities and releasing a large amount of unstable spirit energy, will also create extremely strong destructive power..."

Mo Hua's gaze was shocked.

Isn't this just...

Array collapse!

Although the methods are different, one is an array and one is a spell, the abnormality of spirit power is also different, one is collapse and one is fusion.

But its essential principle is the same!

The Dao Law Elder saw Mo Hua's clear gaze and that he understood so quickly, and was somewhat startled.

This child... Wouldn't he have done this kind of thing before...

How does it feel like he understands everything with just a little explanation?

The Dao Law Elder felt that he shouldn't say any more, then coughed and stood up, saying: "It's getting late, I should go back..."

Mo Hua very politely said: "Elder, walk slowly."

But there was one thing he cared about very much, and after thinking about it, he still couldn't resist.

"Right, Elder..."

Mo Hua asked in a low voice: "...What is your honorable surname?"

Hearing this, the Dao Law Elder was as if struck by lightning, completely stunned.

He was a little angry and a little unbelievable, and said heartbrokenly: "After so long, you actually don't even know my surname?!"

Mo Hua was a little embarrassed.

There was no helping it. There were too many elders in the sect, and substitute teachers occasionally changed back and forth. He really only recognized the faces of some elders but couldn't call out their names.

Mo Hua smiled awkwardly.

The Dao Law Elder said helplessly: "My surname is Yi..."
