Bai Zixi simply stopped cultivating, leaned comfortably against the edge of the bed on a padded blanket, and listened to her senior brother and junior brother talking.
Bai Zisheng and Mo Hua were still muttering to each other.
"The Sun Family is too rich!" Mo Hua whispered.
"Rich? How so?" Bai Zisheng didn’t understand.
"This vast mansion, so many servants and maids, even the guest rooms are so well-furnished. Most things here are spiritual artifacts engraved with formations. Although the formations are somewhat crude, they are still very expensive..."
Mo Hua mused.
These items, if placed in a larger Immortal City, might be common, but here in the remote Thousand Families Town, they seemed out of place.
In Tongxian City, even the Qian Family’s mansion was not as luxurious as the Sun Family’s.
Bai Zisheng nodded, but he was always carefree and had little notion of the value of Spirit Stones.
On the other hand, Bai Zixi seemed thoughtful.
Bai Zisheng asked, "So what do we do next?"
Lying on the soft blanket, Mo Hua thought for a moment before saying,
"I need to find the Ultimate Formation hidden in this town."
"What kind of Ultimate Formation?"
Mo Hua shook his head, "Mr. Zhuang didn’t say, and I don’t know either."
"Does Mr. Zhuang know where it is hidden?" Bai Zisheng asked curiously.
Mo Hua lowered his voice and quietly said,
"I guess Mr. Zhuang definitely knows, but since he isn’t telling, it must mean he wants me to find it myself."
Bai Zisheng muttered, "That’s troublesome..."
Then he asked again, "Mo Hua, do you really need to study the Ultimate Formation?"
Ultimate Formations are very difficult to learn—time-consuming, effort-intensive, and taxing on the Divine Sense. Moreover, some Ultimate Formations have obscure effects and limited applicability.
In the standards set by the Taoist Court for assessment, Ultimate Formations are not even included. Read the latest on NovelFire.Côm
A typical Formation Master wouldn’t deliberately study them.
Yet, Mo Hua nodded earnestly, "I need to learn it."
He counted on his fingers:
"Learn an eleven-stripe Ultimate Formation first, refine the Divine Sense to twelve stripes, then look for a twelve-stripe Ultimate Formation to comprehend, refine the Divine Sense to thirteen stripes, and then seek a thirteen-stripe Ultimate Formation..."
Bai Zisheng’s scalp tingled at the thought.
Bai Zixi also looked at Mo Hua in amazement, speechless.
"Can you really learn it?" Bai Zisheng asked with concern.
Learning up to eleven stripes was preposterous enough; aiming for thirteen stripes seemed out of the question...
"Even if I can’t learn it, I must learn it. As long as I study, there will be a day I can master it."
Mo Hua nodded, "Besides, my Spiritual Root is inadequate, and I can’t do Body Refinement. This is the only path I can take."
Bai Zisheng, feeling a headache at the thought and some sympathy for his junior brother, declared as a proper senior brother, "Then I’ll help you!"
After speaking, he sneakily glanced at his sister Bai Zixi.
Bai Zixi also nodded her head.
Bai Zisheng then said, "Zixi and I will help you together!"
"There’s no need to trouble yourselves," Mo Hua declined.
Bai Zisheng was slightly displeased:
"You’re a junior brother, no need for formalities. Just tell us if you need anything."
"Alright then..."
Since that was the case, Mo Hua stopped being polite.
"This Ultimate Formation is either hidden in the Sun Family or somewhere in Thousand Families Town. Let’s split up and search; you and senior sister can inquire within the Sun Family, and I’ll look around town for clues," Mo Hua shared his plan.
The Sun Family was very warm towards Bai Zisheng and Bai Zixi, but somewhat dismissive of him.
They probably noticed the air of Disciples of the Worldly Family on this senior brother and sister, with their clearly exceptional talents, and thus wanted to curry favor.
If they made requests or probed into the Sun Family’s assets, it would likely be much easier for them.
Being young, if he tried to inquire within the Sun Family, he would certainly be perfunctorily handled, perhaps even slighted, and might not be able to uncover anything.
Bai Zisheng nodded, then asked with confusion,
"How do you know all this?"
"I calculated it!"
