263 Concealment Formation_1
Mo Hua thought about it, feeling that multiple identities could be beneficial.
In the vast expanses of the Nine State in the Cultivation World, boundless and unending,
if he ever ventured out and encountered difficulties, having more identities could open up additional paths.
“Thank you, Uncle Zhang!”
Mo Hua sincerely said.
“You should also thank the Court Leader. If he hadn’t given his approval, you wouldn’t have this token,” said Zhang Lan.
“Then please thank the Court Leader on my behalf, and if there’s anything I can help with in the future, just let me know.”
With the prospect of benefiting from others’ generosity, Mo Hua’s enthusiasm greatly increased.
Zhang Lan laughed and said, “Alright, I’ll tell the Court Leader when I return.”
Soon, Jiang Yun brought up their dishes, five or six plates in total, a mix of meat and vegetables, accompanied by fine wine.
Zhang Lan raised an eyebrow, “Not bad, quite generous now.”
Mo Hua hehe-ed and said, “Just eat up, it’s all on me.”
Over a thousand Spirit Stones, Mo Hua could treat Zhang Lan for a month without any issue.
“Alright then, I won’t stand on ceremony.”
Having been busily dealing with the issues concerning Bald Tuo and Kong Sheng for some time, eating and sleeping outdoors, and dealing with the blandness in his mouth, Zhang Lan truly wanted to treat himself.
As Zhang Lan ate, Mo Hua also picked up a small bowl, choosing his favorites to enjoy.
The two chatted as they ate, and once they were full and had their fill of wine, Zhang Lan left.
Mo Hua pondered the matter of the Map for a while but still had no clues, so he set it aside for the time being.
He would wait to see if Zhang Lan could glean anything from Cyclops.
For the time being, Mo Hua decided to focus on the Concealment Technique.
He was very eager to learn the Concealment Technique.
The Concealment Technique could hide, scout, protect, and sneak up on people.
At face value, concealment might not seem useful, but when applied skillfully, it’s a spell incorporating both offense and defense.
One could advance to attack or retreat to defend.
Advance to catch the enemy off guard, retreat to escape a thousand miles.
Even if the Concealment Technique was seen through, he still had the Water Passing Step as a backup, keeping him from falling into a desperate situation like Diao Laosi, caught between a rock and a hard place.
Even if he encountered a melee among cultivators, he would be able to handle it with ease.
Mo Hua still remembered Old Kui’s teaching, “There are myriad spells, each with its own strengths, the wonder of their use lies within the heart.”
The Concealment Technique certainly fitted the description given by Old Kui.
However, Mo Hua’s Spiritual Root was not quite suitable, which is why the Concealment Technique he cultivated was deficient.
Mo Hua frowned in thought.
The Spiritual Roots of cultivators differ, granting varied abilities; where there are strengths, there are also weaknesses.
Given that there were flaws with the Concealment Technique, was there some other way to compensate?
After much thought, the only solution Mo Hua could come up with was Formation.
And that was his area of expertise.
He took the Thousand Formation Catalog, given to him by Mr. Zhuang, out of his Storage Bag, flipped through it for a while until his eyes blurred, but he found no Formation related to concealment.
Scratching his head, Mo Hua went to ask Bai Zisheng.
“Concealment Formation?” Bai Zisheng was somewhat surprised, looked around, and spoke in a lowered voice, “Are you planning to become a thief?”
Mo Hua gave him a look, emphasizing, “I am a Serious Cultivator!”
“Then what do you want this Formation for?”
“Of course, for self-protection,” said Mo Hua.
And for deceiving others…
Naturally, Mo didn’t voice this reason, as it didn’t sound very upstanding.
Bai Zisheng was somewhat straightforward and took him at his word, nodding, “Indeed, the Concealment Technique is well suited for self-protection.”
“Do you know the Formation Diagram for the Concealment Formation?”
Bai Zisheng shook his head, then turned to ask Bai Zixi, “Zixi, do you know?”
Bai Zixi also shook her head, “It’s a rare Formation. The Bai Family’s Scripture Pavilion should have it, but I didn’t bring it with me.”
Mo Hua felt a bit disappointed and realized he had to bother Mr. Zhuang again.
He then grew curious, “Why is the Concealment Formation considered rare? Is it because the Concealment Technique is rare?”
