Chapter 128: Win-Win (Part 2)_1
The next day, Yu Chengyi specially went to the eatery to find Mo Hua, who was drawing a formation.
“Mo Hua, drawing a formation again?”
Yu Chengyi greeted somewhat stiffly.
“Uncle Yu?” Mo Hua was a bit surprised, “What brings you here?”
“I came to see you,” Yu Chengyi said with a smile.
Mo Hua also smiled, “Thank you for yesterday, Uncle Yu.”
Yu Chengyi waved his hand, “It was nothing.”
Mo Hua looked at Yu Chengyi again and asked, “Uncle Yu, you must have something on your mind, don’t you?”
With the Monster Hunting Team so busy, there was no way he would come to see him without a reason.
Yu Chengyi hesitated before asking, “Mo Hua, what was that formation you used yesterday?”
“Yesterday?” Mo Hua thought for a moment, “It was the Earth Fire Formation.”
The Earth Fire Formation… just the sound of it conveyed no ordinary power.
Yu Chengyi nodded, then he said with some anticipation:
“This Earth Fire Formation… can it hurt a middle-phase first-grade monster beast?”
“Hmm,” Mo Hua replied, “But one won’t be powerful enough. Combine four or five together, and they can severely wound a middle-phase first-grade monster beast. Then with a few more cuts, it’s done.”
Just as expected!
Yu Chengyi got excited for a moment, “When you have some time, can you draw a few for Uncle Yu?”
“You want them, Uncle Yu? But this formation isn’t that useful for you, is it?” Mo Hua asked in confusion.
Yu Chengyi, who had reached the ninth level of Qi Refinement, should not need a formation to hunt middle-phase first-grade monster beasts.
Against a late-phase first-grade monster beast, the power of the Earth Fire Formation would be rather limited.
“I don’t need it for myself; it’s for the newcomers to use.”
Yu Chengyi sighed, “Their cultivation is inadequate, and following us, they sometimes don’t even get to share in the spoils. Waiting for them to stand on their own takes too long. With this formation, at least they could earn some spirit stones.”
Mo Hua thought of Da’hu and the others.
Just becoming a monster hunter was both dangerous and earned hardly any spirit stones, truly the most difficult time.
Mo Hua agreed, “Sure, I can do that.”
Yu Chengyi breathed a sigh of relief, then his expression became hesitant, and he gritted his teeth, “About drawing this formation… how many spirit stones would it cost…?”
This formation must be complicated, at least more so than the Iron Armor Formation, so the fee should be higher, but he couldn’t actually offer many spirit stones.
Yu Chengyi finally understood how his father must have felt.
Knowing he was imposing yet still reluctantly asking. Unable to provide much in the way of spirit stones but still requesting others to do him a favor.
And the favor was being asked of a teenager, no less.
The normally generous Yu Chengyi couldn’t help but look down, too embarrassed to meet Mo Hua’s gaze.
Mo Hua inwardly sighed.
Whether it was Elder Yu or Uncle Yu, they must both be proud individuals, yet both were willing to set aside their ego and face for the sake of other monster hunters.
Mo Hua felt a deep respect, his dark eyes twinkling, he then smiled and said:
“Uncle Yu, let’s make a deal.”
Yu Chengyi was taken aback, “A deal?”
“Yes, a deal!”
Mo Hua said, “You just provide me with the spiritual ink, I’ll draw the formations. You get someone to take them for monster hunting. After splitting the earned spirit stones, give me a portion as a fee for drawing the formations.”
Yu Chengyi’s eyes also brightened, and he exclaimed, “That’s a great idea!”
“But I have one more condition,” Mo Hua added.
“Whatever you need, just say it!” Yu Chengyi said heartily, not wanting Mo Hua to suffer a loss.
“I want the monster blood after the beasts are killed.”
“Monster blood?” Yu Chengyi was puzzled, “What do you need monster blood for?”
“To mix with the spiritual ink and use for drawing formations.”
Upon hearing that it was for formation use, Yu Chengyi immediately nodded and said,
“No problem, no one wants the monster blood, it’s all yours.”
“However,” Yu Chengyi paused for a moment to think, then added, “Can we collect the monster blood for you? Big Black Mountain is quite dangerous, it’s better if you don’t go there.”
“You need to know the Blood Drawing Art to do it, I have to do it myself,” said Mo Hua.
“I see…”
