"Capitalist Lu" was filled with vile deeds, chose a fine son-in-law, appointed a good Family Head, and even after his own death, he couldn't rest in peace and was turned into a Zombie.
It could be said that he reaped what he sowed, thoroughly deserving it...
Mo Hua thought to himself in silence.
After Lu Chengyun finished cursing the Lu Family Old Ancestor, he sat aside to meditate and regulate his breath.
With no way to sneak out unnoticed, Mo Hua had no choice but to hide behind the altar, waiting patiently for Lu Chengyun to leave so he could seize the opportunity to slip away secretly.
However, Lu Chengyun meditated for quite a long time, and his Divine Sense still had not fully recovered...
Mo Hua was getting anxious on his behalf.
"Is Divine Sense recovery really that slow?"
A brief period of meditation would suffice for me, yet this Lu Chengyun, like a turtle in meditation, has been sitting for half an eternity and his Divine Sense has hardly recovered at all—this is excessively slow...
Could it be an issue with the Meditation Technique?
Mo Hua frowned and pondered further.
I learned the Meditation Technique from Mr. Zhuang; meditating in a serene state, hence my Divine Sense recovers quickly.
Lu Chengyun does not practice meditation, harbors too many schemes, and even has a filthy mind, so is that why his Divine Sense recovers so slowly?
Is it just Lu Chengyun that is this slow, or is it that all Formation Masters take this long to recover their Divine Sense?
This was a question Mo Hua had not really compared the answers to before.
"It seems the Meditation Technique taught by my master is indeed a fine thing..."
Gratitude towards Mr. Zhuang arose in Mo Hua's heart once more.
After a while more of breath regulation, Lu Chengyun finally opened his eyes, appearing somewhat restless and agitated.

Yet, his Divine Sense had only recovered by a small fraction.
Mo Hua was puzzled.
"What is Lu Chengyun trying to do?"
How could he work on Formation Painting with his Divine Sense not fully recovered?
To Mo Hua's surprise, Lu Chengyun did not proceed with Formation Painting but rather took out a scroll from his Storage Bag.
The scroll was somewhat wrinkled, bore creases, and carried footprints that had not been fully wiped away.
Mo Hua recognized it instantly.
Because the footprints on it were from his own stepping.
It was Zhang Quan's Ancestral Master Picture!
It was a depiction of a Zombie Image, and also a Contemplation Map!
The scroll was indeed in the hands of Lu Chengyun!
Zhang Quan, that unfilial wretch who "forgot his ancestry," actually gave away his ancestral portrait, causing me all this trouble in search.
Mo Hua inwardly criticized, then stealthily speculated.
Zhang Quan treasured this Ancestral Master Picture like a precious gem and was probably reluctant to part with it, agreeing only to lend it.
There must be some sort of deal between him and Lu Chengyun.
And in this deal, Zhang Quan definitely profited handsomely, otherwise, he certainly would not have lent out the painting.
This is a Contemplation Map, which can strengthen Divine Sense.
Zhang Quan may not be aware of its use, but Lu Chengyun most definitely is.
Mo Hua then grew stunned.
The purpose of a Contemplation Map is to strengthen Divine Sense...
But how does it strengthen one's Divine Sense?
I "ate" it directly because if I didn't "eat," I would be "eaten"...
But other Cultivators, lacking a Taoist Stele in their Sea of Consciousness and not versed in Divine Thought Slaughter, should be incapable of "eating" it.
If they can't "eat," then what should they do?
Would they not be "eaten"?
Or perhaps, what is the orthodox method of using a Contemplation Map?
How do other Cultivators use the Contemplation Map to augment their Divine Sense?
...
Mo Hua was filled with confusion for a moment, and then he cautiously peeked out his head to observe Lu Chengyun, wanting to see exactly how he would proceed, to learn from it.
Outside the altar, within the Formation of Ten Thousand Corpses.
Lu Chengyun first took out an Incense Burner and placed three sticks of incense on it.
