Chapter 99: Elder Yu

After this, every so often, someone would come through Mo Shan asking Mo Hua to draw an array. And without exception, they all wanted the Iron Armor Array drawn on vine armor.

Mo Shan handled all of this, Mo Hua just needed to draw the arrays, so it wasn't too troublesome and he didn't need to stand out.

The Iron Armor Array only had six array patterns. For Mo Hua, there was no longer any difficulty, and he could draw it very quickly. When someone requested it occasionally, he could just draw it conveniently; it didn't waste much time.

Drawing one Iron Armor Array could earn five spirit stones, conveniently half a bottle of spirit ink.

Mo Hua drew for a while and also saved up some spirit stones and spirit ink. It was just a pity that the spirit ink was all metal-stone attribute and could only be used to draw metal system arrays; other arrays couldn't use it.

The Iron Armor Array only contained six array patterns, suitable for cultivators in the mid-stage of the Refining period. Basically, only new demon hunters used it.

Cultivators in the late-stage of Refining Qi like Mo Shan fundamentally couldn't use it. In front of a first-grade late-stage demon beast, even if the Iron Armor Array was drawn on vine armor, it was like paper paste and not much stronger.

But among demon hunters, those in the mid-stage of Refining Qi accounted for the majority. Every year, there were also new cultivators becoming demon hunters, and these demon hunters were also the ones who needed the Iron Armor Array the most.

Although the strength of the Iron Armor Array could only block a demon beast's attack slightly, blocking this little bit more was often the difference between a minor injury and a serious injury, and even the difference between life and death.

Mo Hua actually wanted to draw more Iron Armor Arrays, so that young demon hunters like Da Hu could suffer fewer injuries.

For general loose cultivators, a minor injury was still bearable, but a serious injury made life very difficult, and if they unfortunately died, it was basically a disaster for the entire family.

Among the demon hunters in Tongxian City, those who were friends with Mo Shan were a minority after all. The majority of demon hunters wouldn't specifically ask people to draw arrays because arrays were difficult to draw and array masters were hard to invite; they couldn't afford the spirit stones. So, those who truly sought Mo Hua to draw the Iron Armor Array weren't many.

This day, after Mo Hua finished his evening meal, he was flipping through array books in his room. After a while, he heard someone arrive. Mo Shan was very enthusiastically greeting guests, and he couldn't help but feel a little curious.

Mo Shan was usually generous with people and had quite a few friends, but Mo Hua had never seen him so enthusiastic before.

After a while, Mo Shan called out to Mo Hua, asking him to come and see the guests.

Mo Hua lifted the door curtain and saw a very long-bearded cultivator who was quite old, sitting upright on the central wooden chair. This long-bearded cultivator was wearing ordinary demon hunter's clothes, his expression was serious, and he was imposing without being angry, looking difficult to get along with.

Mo Shan said: "This is Elder Yu. Hua'er, greet Elder Yu properly."

Elder Yu? An elder of the Demon Hunter Hall?

Mo Hua politely greeted him, and then noticed that the Elder Yu in front of him had a deep aura and emitted a faint oppressive feeling. Mo Hua quietly peeked a bit with his divine sense and found that his divine sense couldn't actually penetrate; he could only vaguely feel that there was a person sitting there.

As Mo Hua was using his divine sense to peek, a subtle light gleamed in Elder Yu's eyes, and he glanced at Mo Hua.

A Foundation Establishment stage cultivator! And should not be an ordinary Foundation Establishment stage cultivator!

Just his divine sense was already much stronger than Mo Hua's!

Mo Shan touched Mo Hua's head and said: "Hua'er, Elder Yu has something to find you about. You two chat. I'll go and help your mother tidy up in the front."

"What matter could Elder Yu have with me?"

Mo Hua was a little doubtful, but still nodded.

After Mo Shan got up and left, Elder Yu then said directly:

"The old man heard Mo Shan say that you can draw the Iron Armor Array?"

Elder Yu's voice was slightly hoarse, and with a bit of sternness, which should have been a habit formed over time.

"Yes," Mo Hua said.

Elder Yu nodded slightly, "That's good then. I have something here and want to talk to you about it."

"Elder, please speak."

Elder Yu secretly nodded. He had heard before that Mo Shan's son, at a young age, was already an array master. He still didn't believe it and felt it was too absurd.

Later, as more people said this, he believed it a little, but from his heart, he felt that young people with talent must be arrogant and look down on others, especially array masters. The array masters he had encountered were all arrogant and haughty, no matter their skill level, their tempers were all bigger than the last.

He didn't have a good impression of Mo Hua at first, but at this time, seeing Mo Hua was pure and lovely, and very polite, his expression eased a lot.

"I plan to have you help draw a batch of arrays, all Iron Armor Arrays, drawn on vine armor. When the demon hunter ceremony comes, give one set to each of those young demon hunters, so that they have a bit of guarantee when they enter the mountains to hunt demons."

Mo Hua suddenly realized that in a while, it would be the demon hunter ceremony, and at that time, another batch of young cultivators would become demon hunters.

Elder Yu was an elder of the Demon Hunter Hall and needed to maintain the rules for demon hunters and also protect their safety, especially those young demon hunters who were just starting out and hadn't seen the fierceness of demon beasts. They were currently newcomers who needed protection, and in twenty or thirty years, they might become the backbone of the demon hunters.

"How many sets?"

"Probably about a hundred sets," Elder Yu said.

"A hundred sets..."

Mo Hua was a little shocked; this would be enough for him to draw for a while.

"Can you do it?" Elder Yu asked tentatively.

Mo Hua hesitated a bit, "When do you plan to need these arrays?"

Elder Yu thought for a moment and said: "Before the demon hunter festival will do. There should still be three months."

Three months was plenty of time. Mo Hua nodded and said: "No problem."

Elder Yu slightly exhaled. He saw that Mo Hua's realm was low, his divine sense was limited, and his determination wasn't necessarily enough, so he worried that Mo Hua couldn't finish drawing so many arrays within three months.

At this time, seeing Mo Hua's confident appearance, not like he was lying, he was also much relieved.

Even if he couldn't finish drawing in the end, being able to draw seventy or eighty percent would still be good.

Elder Yu hesitated a bit, thought for a while, and said:

"I heard Mo Shan say that when you draw arrays for others, one Iron Armor Array only requires five spirit stones. Those cultivators are friends with your father, so you accept fewer spirit stones, considering it as understanding. But these hundred sets of arrays, setting aside those friendships, for each Iron Armor Array, I will give you eight spirit stones as reward. What do you think?"

Eight spirit stones were actually not much. For array masters, their divine sense was limited, and the number of arrays they could draw each day was also limited, so naturally, they hoped that the price of the arrays they drew would be as high as possible.

Normally speaking, this price wouldn't be enough to hire an array master to draw arrays.

But this was already Elder Yu's limit. The Demon Hunter Hall was a big organization, but it was a large family of poor, clanking loose cultivators. He had to manage everything and needed spirit stones for everything. These eight spirit stones were the highest price he could offer.

"Eight spirit stones?" Mo Hua frowned a bit.

Elder Yu saw Mo Hua frown, his expression unchanged, but his heart felt a little cold.

Indeed, array masters were still not easy to deal with.

Elder Yu silently said in his heart.
