"And twelve patterns of Divine Sense is beyond the reach of many veteran cultivators at the initial stage of Foundation Establishment."
Zhang Quan's expression changed upon hearing this, "A First-grade Formation that can only be learned with Foundation Establishment Divine Sense, is it that outrageous?"
"That's why I said, Formations are profound and vast."
Lu Chengyun glanced at Zhang Quan, "My Divine Sense, just reached twelve patterns, while your Divine Sense is merely ten patterns..."
"So, what can this gentleman surnamed Mo use to learn?"
Lu Chengyun stated flatly.
Zhang Quan fell silent, his mind reeling with the implications.
Formations indeed are complicated.
First-grade with twelve patterns...
That kid is only at the stage of Qi Refinement; he certainly can't learn it.
But can he really not learn it?
Zhang Quan frowned.
The image of Mo Hua's young face surfaced in Zhang Quan's mind again.
Looking adorable yet detestable, and at the same time, enigmatic, he was hard to fathom.
Zhang Quan had been duped by Mo Hua countless times already, so upon seeing Mo Hua, mixed feelings of anger and some palpitations arose.
He always felt that this little devil Mo Hua was not so simple.
Moreover, he couldn't see through Mo Hua's Concealment Technique.
The more Zhang Quan thought about it, the more uneasy he became, furrowing his brow and saying,
"Brother Lu, what if his Divine Sense..."
Lu Chengyun let out a cold chuckle, "Are you trying to say what if his Divine Sense has reached Foundation Establishment?"
Zhang Quan also felt somewhat unsure,
"It's not that... It's impossible..."
Lu Chengyun snorted coldly, showing some impatience,
"The difference between Divine Sense reaching Foundation Establishment and Divine Sense at the twelve patterns is enormous."
"Moreover, even if his Divine Sense is sufficient, it's useless. Do you expect him to learn such a difficult Formation by just looking at it twice?"
Lu Chengyun's gaze turned slightly cold, "A superior Formation requires both practice and enlightenment."
"Even I spent decades of arduous practice and research to attain a mere inkling of understanding," he added.
"Then I used the Evil Formation technique to lower the threshold..."
"Integrating evil thoughts to reduce the Divine Sense threshold; using human blood to draw the Formation, lowering the control spirit threshold; using corpses as a medium, lowering the drawing Formation threshold..."
"Only then could I master and apply this Spiritual Pivot Formation within the Ten Thousand Corpses Compound Formation."
"Without years of dedicated study and understanding of the Evil Formation, without merging evil thoughts into consciousness, without using bones as pens, without using blood as ink, and without using corpses as a medium, how could he possibly learn it?"
"Do you think that by memorizing the Formation Patterns and practicing blindly a few times, he could learn it?"
"You're seriously underestimating Formation techniques!" exclaims Lu Chengyun with an icy tone.
It seemed he was reflecting on the years of painstaking effort it took to learn this Formation.
Sneaking into the Lu Family, enduring humiliation, seizing an opportunity for promotion, killing and refining corpses, extracting bones to use as pens, mixing blood for ink - he resorted to extreme measures...
His emotions surged for a moment.
Not wanting to upset Lu Chengyun, Zhang Quan took a step back and said,
"Zhang is shallow in insight and unaware of the difficulties. Please forgive me, Brother Lu..."
Regaining composure and knowing that he had been slightly agitated, Lu Chengyun returned to his genteel demeanor and said indifferently,
"Brother Zhang, you are too polite. It is always good to be considerate in everything."
Zhang Quan breathed a sigh of relief, but the shadow Mo Hua left in his heart was not easily dispelled.
After pondering, Zhang Quan still voiced his concerns in a low voice,
"Brother Lu, even if that kid can't learn the Formation, is it necessary to show it to him? It increases the risk unnecessarily..."
"If I don't show it to him, how would he willingly stay?" Lu Chengyun said.
Zhang Quan frowned.
Lu Chengyun's smile was indifferent as he continued,
"Everyone has their desires..."
"I crave power, and Brother Zhang craves beauty," he said.
"But that young gentleman is different. He's not deeply involved and doesn't know how intoxicating the flavors of power, beauty, fame, and wealth in this world can be."
"Not knowing the taste, he naturally won't yearn for it."
