Asking about longevity

But this will only happen after the New Year.

There have been a lot of things going on lately, and the formation painting has been quite tiring. At least this year, I can relax in ink painting without having to think too much.

But Mo Hua soon discovered that even if he didn't consider the cultivation and formations, there were still many things to be busy with.

Because there are gifts to give and gifts to return.

Moreover, many gifts require Mo Hua to send them, and many gifts require Mo Hua to return them.

Before, he was just an unknown ordinary monk, so naturally he didn't have to worry about anything.

But now he is a well-known formation master and knows many monks, so some interactions are inevitable.

For example, the old head of Daotingsi gave him a jade pendant, the An family gave him some fine wine and spiritual meat, and other smaller families also gave him more or less new year gifts.

None of them are too expensive, but they are all from my heart.

Mo Hua then found some familiar families or monks with whom he had close contacts, and visited them one by one to thank them.

For example, the old boss and Mr. An are both prominent monks in Tongxian City. They give gifts, and it is impossible for Mo Hua not to return the gifts.

Mo Hua also brought some gifts.

These gifts were relatively simple, bought casually by him for Hua Lingshi, but what was not simple was that he had drawn formations on them.

It's like a lantern with the word "Fu" with an open flame array inside. Once lit, the word "Fu" emits a brilliant light. There are also small screens with cold air patterns painted on them, and blankets with heating elements painted on them, etc.

It is neither luxurious nor practical, and although it looks simple, it is obvious that a lot of thought has been put into it.

It fits his status as a small formation master, and most importantly, it fits his financial resources - he doesn't have that many spiritual stones to buy expensive gifts for others.

The old boss and Mr. An were very happy.

Some other monks were already satisfied to receive Mo Hua's gift in return, and they were even more delighted when they saw that the gift also contained the formations drawn by Mo Hua himself.

Mo Hua also gave some things to Master Chen.

The New Year is approaching, Master Chen is still busy in the weapon refining shop, and a group of weapon refiners are also refining the spiritual weapons. It will probably be before New Year's Eve that they can finish it and celebrate the New Year with peace of mind.

Although it was a bit harder, but after selling the spiritual weapons, they received more spiritual stones, so they didn't feel it was that hard.

Master Chen has no children and only one apprentice, Dazhu, so it doesn't matter.

Mo Hua brought a lot of delicious food and several jars of fine wine to Master Chen, who smiled from ear to ear.

"These wines are good, wine is enough!"

Being alone, with the company of wine and meat, can be considered a Chinese New Year.

Master Chen has been coming here for so many years, and he doesn't feel lonely. What's more, after the New Year, a bunch of disciples will come to visit him to pay New Year's greetings, and it will be very lively at that time.

Mo Hua chatted with Master Chen for a few words, and Master Chen said:

"Do you want a spiritual weapon?"

"What spiritual weapon?"

"Anyone is fine, but it's best not to choose a sword. It's more difficult to practice, and I can't practice it well either. ♢"

"Knives, guns, sticks and the like?"

Master Chen nodded, "Thanks to your weapon refining furnace, my weapon refining skills have improved greatly recently, and I can refine a first-grade spiritual weapon. You choose one, and I will help you refine it for self-defense."

Mo Hua thought about it, but still didn't know what to choose.

"I'm not a physical practitioner, so there's no point in choosing these..."

"It's okay." Master Chen smiled, "The main reason is that my hands are itchy and I want to try my hand at refining more spiritual weapons."

Mo Hua doesn’t know what to say...

"Then don't you help others practice?"

"There are also people who ask me to practice, but those who are not in a hurry, it doesn't matter sooner or later. I will help you practice one thing first."

Mo Hua really wanted to refine an "eight-foot-long steel spear" or a "Qinglong Yanyue Sword", but he couldn't use it after he refined it, and he was not a physical practitioner.

"Then you can help my father practice one?"

"Don't worry about this. Elder Yu has his own arrangements, so you don't need to worry about it."

Mo Hua frowned.

Master Chen said, "If that doesn't work, I can make you a small knife to cut beef or peel fruits."

Mo Hua looked complicated, "Let me think about it again."

It's rare to refine a first-grade spiritual weapon. At least it's a serious one. What's the point of refining a fruit knife...

Master Chen nodded and said, "Okay, tell me if you think about it."

Mo Hua said goodbye to Master Chen and went to Mr. Feng's place again.

Previously, Mr. Feng only attended Xinglin Hall and never went out except for consultations.

Now that the alchemy shop has been built, Mr. Feng will come here when he is free. Some monks who are sick will even find the alchemy shop and ask Mr. Feng to treat them and make elixirs.

Mr. Feng is in the alchemy shop next door, counting the elixirs, sorting out the elixir recipes, and also testing the quality of the finished elixirs.

Mo Hua gave the New Year's gift to Mr. Feng, and Mr. Feng found a bunch of elixirs and stuffed them into Mo Hua.

There are pills for treating fire and water poisons, pills for treating miasma, pills for clearing the mind and calming the mind, pills for relieving hunger, and pills for stopping bleeding, as well as a few small pills for emergency life-saving pills.

Each elixir is placed in categories, labeled, and used.

Mo Hua thanked Mr. Feng. Before leaving, Mr. Feng stopped him again and stuffed him with a bottle of elixir.

Mo Hua sniffed and asked:

"Grandpa Feng, what kind of elixir is this? It's sour and sweet, and it smells good."

"Xiaoshi Dan is for stomach and intestines. I'm afraid that you may eat too much and fill your stomach, so I usually take a few pills after meals. If you are usually greedy, you can also eat it as a snack."

Mo Hua said happily: "Thank you, Grandpa Feng."

After being busy with giving and returning gifts for a while, Mo Hua breathed a sigh of relief. He thought he was almost done, but he received another New Year's gift from Master Luo.

It is packed in a scarlet-gold storage box and placed in the yard of the ink painter. It looks very rich.

When Mo Hua opened it, he was surprised.

There are not only gifts from Master Luo, but also gifts from Master Qian...

He was probably afraid that others would find out, so he sent it over in the name of Master Luo.

Master Luo's gifts are quite satisfactory, and most of them are related to formations.

Master Qian's gift is much more valuable, including food and clothing. He probably wanted to apologize to Mo Hua and express his attitude.

Mo Hua thought about it and accepted it.

He has no direct dispute with Master Qian, so it would be good to have a good relationship. Moreover, he may have something to do later and may need Master Qian's help.

Since Master Luo had sent gifts, Mo Hua also prepared some gifts and went to pay his respects in person.

Master Luo is much older than him, which is also the basic etiquette.

Master Luo's cave is one of the most luxurious caves in Tongxian City. It is luxurious and magnificent.

There are many cloud chariots and carriages in front of the door, all of which are children of various families or stewards who come to give gifts.

It's just that Master Luo is a first-level formation master and the threshold is quite high, so they are either not allowed in, or they have to line up in order and wait outside the door to be received by Master Luo.

The crowd of cars and horses outside the door and the grand ostentation made Mo Hua eye-opening.

The status of an array master is indeed high, especially a first-grade array master who has truly passed the Dao Ting's approval.

But there were too many people outside the door, and Mo Hua probably couldn't even get in.

Just when Mo Hua was considering whether to go back and come back in a few days, Master Luo's disciples had already discovered Mo Hua.
