"Yes, Senior."
The person within the cave said: "Now, I’ll teach you the mantra of this spell, the critical points for circulating spiritual power, and the meridians to be traversed... Remember carefully."
Little Shunzi and Little Shuizi said solemnly: "Alright!"
Then that old voice began to teach the spell’s key points.
The two children listened very attentively.
"This spell is in the same line as the cultivation technique I passed on to you. With the cultivation technique, the spell’s power can be greatly enhanced. Without the support of the cultivation technique, the spell is just ordinary. "
"The most important aspect of using this spell is to attack when the opponent is unprepared, catching them off guard. Once spiritual power condenses into a hidden weapon and infiltrates the body, it is like a deeply poisonous parasite, causing immense pain and being difficult to eradicate."
"The difficult part of this spell lies in the high requirement for spiritual power control and the complex meridian circuits, which require years of practice to master..."
The person in the cave stopped speaking suddenly.
Little Shunzi asked in confusion, "Senior, master what?"
"It’s nothing..." The old voice slowly said, "Did you remember what I just taught you?"
Little Shunzi and Little Shuizi nodded, "We remembered it all."
"Good, and one more thing... You must diligently practice this spell usually, but unless absolutely necessary, do not use it lightly, and do not mention that I have taught you the cultivation technique and spell to anyone." The person in the cave said seriously.
"Senior, we have remembered." Little Shunzi and Little Shuizi earnestly said.
"Hmm, that’s all for today, you may leave now."
Little Shunzi and Little Shuizi respectfully bowed toward the cave, then climbed back down the mountain following the path along the mountain wall.
After the two children left.
In front of the cave halfway up the mountain, it became silent for a while.
The night was deep and the moonlight was cool.
A moment later, that old voice again came from the cave, "What Taoist friend, since you are here, why not show yourself?"
Mo Hua, who was outside the cave and deep in thought, was startled upon hearing.
Did he actually discover me?
He must be a master...
The person in the cave spoke again: "We are just passing acquaintances, I mean no harm, why hide and not show up, Taoist friend, come and meet."
Mo Hua thought for a moment and slowly revealed his form, but the night was pitch black, blurring his silhouette, making it indiscernible.
The person in the cave, seeing someone indeed present, immediately had his tone deepen and asked:
"This Taoist friend, what might be your background? Why have you come here?"
Although he feigned calmness, Mo Hua could hear deep vigilance and a hint of hidden hostility in his tone.
This person behaves strangely...
Mo Hua silently pondered:
"I don’t know how he detected my concealment, but since he can discover me, it shows that his divine sense is stronger than mine..."
"At least the Foundation Establishment Peak, no, even the Foundation Establishment Peak might not detect me, should be at least Golden Core..."
"However, his breath is weak, lacking qi, clearly suffering from serious injuries."
"Hiding in the cave not daring to show himself, the situation seems quite unfavorable."
"And this is the Second Grade State Border, even if he is Golden Core, under the suppression of the Heavenly Dao, he’s just as useless as Uncle Gu, only able to exert Foundation Establishment Peak strength..."
Mo Hua quickly assessed the general situation, then began setting an array formation outside the cave without saying a word.
The person in the cave immediately sensed something unusual and promptly changed his tone:
"Taoist friend, what is your intention?"
"Taoist friend?"
"Why is the Taoist friend silent?"
...
Mo Hua completely ignored him.
In a situation where the details are unknown and he doesn’t hold the reins, he didn’t bother with unnecessary words.
As more formations were set, the person in the cave became much more conciliatory.
"Taoist friend, if you have any needs, feel free to ask."
"Taoist friend, I have no ill intentions."
"Taoist friend, why not come into the cave, let’s talk and become friends..."
Mo Hua continued to act as though he heard nothing, proceeding to draw his formations alone.
Only after finishing the formation did he stop his hand.
By this time, the surroundings of the cave were covered with densely packed killing formations.
These killing formations were like an enormous spider web, encasing the entire cave, filled with dangerous killing intent.
Mo Hua nodded and then said:
"Alright, now we can talk..."
