“Although these are customized, they are low-cost spiritual artifacts with simple processes and not worth many Spirit Stones, young master need not be polite.”
Mo Hua shook his head, “These are not for my use.”
Master Gu was slightly stunned.
Mo Hua then smiled and said: “They are for my fellow disciples, they are not short of Spirit Stones, no need to save on their behalf.”
Master Gu’s gaze flickered and he gradually understood, nodding with a smile:
“Alright.”
Mo Hua also smiled.
The life of Artifact Refiners in Solitary Mountain City is inherently tough.
Although Master Gu is a Golden Core, managing such a large Refinery Shop and numerous disciples underneath, his hands are not that loose financially.
Hence, Mo Hua thought of starting with customized spiritual tools.
This would not only help Cheng Mo and other fellow disciples capture Sin Cultivators and earn Merit Points but also improve the business of Gu Family Refinery Shop.
At the same time, it would allow him to solidify and apply formations more profoundly, using this as a foundation to gain experience, and eventually promote the usage of formations more broadly in the future.
Of course, the goal is still far away.
For now, he needs to start small and try step by step.
After finishing the talk about customized spiritual tools, Mo Hua stood up to take his leave.
Master Gu personally stood up and escorted Mo Hua to the door, watching as Mo Hua’s carriage gradually left, a heavy stone in his heart finally slowly settled.
This young master, indeed is a ‘noble’ person.”
In the near future, the Loose Cultivators of Solitary Mountain City might also be able to live a few good days peacefully…
Master Gu then glanced at the Refinement Array Map in his hand, valuing it greatly.
The map only shows a few simple spiritual tools.
But this, is an important beginning…
…
Before the rest period ended, Mo Hua returned to the Sect, waiting for news of Cheng Mo and the others capturing the flying thieves.
If they had not caught them, then the customized spiritual tools made by Master Gu could be put to use next rest period.
If Cheng Mo and the others have already captured the flying thieves, it doesn’t matter.
Successfully capturing Sin Cultivators is always a good thing.
These spiritual tools will definitely be useful in the future, no need to rush for now.
Probably by the evening, Cheng Mo and the others returned dejectedly.
Mo Hua, without asking, could tell from their faces that they had definitely failed.
“That bastard!”
“We’ve been watching him for a whole day and night, we were close to capturing him, but his Wind-System Movement Skill is just too fast, and he managed to escape from the crowd.”
“When we went to chase again, there was no trace…”
Cheng Mo sat next to Mo Hua, eating a spiritual meal, and spoke grievously to Mo Hua, then looked at him with eager eyes.
According to the usual practice, at this point, they should let go.
Continuing like this is not a solution.
It wastes time and no Merit Points can be earned.
But the more Cheng Mo thought about it, the angrier he became, especially remembering the disdainful look the thief gave them while escaping, he could not tolerate it anymore.
Mo Hua nodded and said: “I’ve already asked Master to help refine them, they should be ready before the next rest period.”
Cheng Mo was overjoyed.
Seven days later, Master Gu sent someone to bring a Storage Bag to Taixu Gate, which was handed over to Mo Hua.
In the Storage Bag, there were two types of spiritual artifacts, two types of Array Plates.
Mo Hua took out some time and drew Formation Diagrams on them, then handed them over to Cheng Mo and the others, while explaining:
“That flying thief is experienced, obviously quite used to having people set formations to trap him. Therefore, ordinary array plates and conspicuous formation flags can no longer be used. We need a more covert method…”
“Here, there are two types of spiritual tools; one type is stone needles, the other is silver needles.”
“Both are drawn with fine engraving techniques.”
“Stone needles are for detection, the Formation on them is the Small Yuan Magnetic Formation. They can be stuck in the soil, thrown among rubble, or nailed into rocks, making them hard to detect.”
“Silver needles are for tracking; they are inscribed with the Compass Parent-Child Formation. When he is unprepared, you stab the silver needle into the thief’s flesh, clothes, or hair and then use a compass to locate him, making it hard for him to escape.”
“Next, there are two types of array plates.”
“Since they are for large-scale Quicksand Formation and Wood Binding Formation, using array plates is unavoidable.”
“However, these array plates are specially refined, selecting only materials that are friendly with soil. Although they are not durable, they are equally concealed, buried in the ground, and hard to be detected.”
