Mo Hua followed the planned Architectural Formation Map, drawing one Formation after another, one Compound Formation set after another, methodically, with no detail overlooked.When his Divine Sense was exhausted, he would sit in meditation to recover, and when tired, he would sit on the side for a rest, taking out Formation Books to relieve the fatigue with some theory.After a good rest, he continued Drawing Formation.This kind of large-scale construction required intricate Formation Patterns, and while the actual drawing was not particularly difficult, it was monotonous and tested the Formation Master’s patience and concentration.Fortunately, Mo Hua had become accustomed to Formation Painting, having practiced day and night in the past, and he had adapted to the actual process.Moreover, he had amassed a thousand bottles of Monster Blood, all turned into Spiritual Ink, which he realized he should use now, lest the ink’s potency waned over time, which would be a waste.That was bl

“I really disagree, Lieutenant. I think that his behavior is quite recommendable. He shows signs of true character, and I think this is the right person we need in our Guild, a man of true character who would live beyond the surface of fame and power.”“And you know this how Superintendent? You act as though you have met him before.” Melissa retorted almost immediately, but Anita was very ready to face her.“I haven’t met him before, but I know a man of true character and loyalty when I see one. This is one of them, and I am sure that he would not fail to be submissive and abide by the rules of our Guild. Can’t you guys see what I’m seeing? With his friends onboard, I think that he would be more comfortable, and we could even build a formidable team with the three of them.”Anita’s words were very powerful, but not quite convincing to the other officials, especially Melissa who seemed really pissed at Dave’s behavior and didn't think he deserved to be among them.“I think we don’t rea

Master Chen gently tapped the table, “Before eating, first thank the person who provided the food.”The artifact refining disciples said in unison, “Thank you, Brother Mo!”Mo Hua also smiled and waved his hand, “No thanks, no thanks!”Master Chen nodded, “Line up, don’t rush.”Mo Hua brought quite a lot of beef. Practically everyone could get some. Although it wasn’t enough to fill them up, it was enough to stave off hunger and satisfy a craving.The artifact refining disciples queued up and each took their share of meat, then began devouring it hungrily.Master Chen also tasted the meat and took a sip of wine, immediately his expression became pleased, and he started to beam with joy.As the strong liquor went down his throat, spicy and refreshing, Master Chen felt completely satisfied and said,“Now, tell me what you wanted to see me for.”“It’s just to treat you to some meat and drinks.”Master Chen said, “If you won’t tell, let’s consider it a free meal and drink.”Mo Hua chuckle

Since Loose Cultivators rarely used Runes, Mo Hua had never even seen a Rune with his own eyes up until now, so he had cast that question to the back of his mind.Now that they were discussing Artifact Refining and he heard mention of Rune making, Mo Hua suddenly remembered and decided to ask.Master Chen tugged at his beard, furrowing his brow in thought, “I am neither a Formation Master nor a Talisman Master, so I can’t say for certain, but since you asked, I’ll tell you what I know.”After finishing, Master Chen added, “But these are certainly words from an outsider’s view, just listen to get an idea, and don’t necessarily take them as truth.”“Mhm, mhm,” Mo Hua nodded repeatedly.“To my knowledge, Rune making is both a branch of Formation and a branch of Artifact Refining.”“A hybrid of Formation and Artifact Refining?” Mo Hua exclaimed in surprise.Master Chen gave him a look, somewhat amused, “Don’t put it so crudely. The various categories of Tao Cultivation are independent of

After learning the First-grade Melting Fire Formation, the next step was to formally draw it on the Refining Furnace.The very next day, Elder Yu notified Mo Hua that the Refining Furnace had been delivered.A massive Refining Furnace, several dozens of feet high, stood towering in the courtyard.It had an ancient design, standing on three legs with a top cover resembling eaves, a large belly like a bowl, and its entire body was engraved with cloud patterns, crafted from fine iron and exuding a deep black-grey luster.Mo Hua looked up at the Refining Furnace and couldn’t help but open his mouth wide in amazement.At just over ten years old, Mo Hua seemed even smaller standing in front of the Refining Furnace.It wasn’t just Mo Hua who was shocked; Master Chen standing beside him was also inwardly stunned.He walked around the Refining Furnace, looking at it from the left and then the right, wanting to reach out and touch it, but he dared not, as if the Refining Furnace was merely an i
