Immortality Through Array Formations - Chapter 829

Chapter 829: Chapter 600 Water Prison Technique Chapter 829: Chapter 600 Water Prison Technique Mo Hua left his name and then waited expectantly.

Finally, after the time it took an incense stick to burn, the Taixu Token vibrated slightly.

Mo Hua’s application had been accepted.

One hundred Merit Points!

Mo Hua was overjoyed.

Afterward, he began to prepare for the bounty task regarding “that I could pass the test.”

He packed some Spirit Stones, some Spiritual Ink, and his “hidden” little cloak.

Though the Thousand Jun Stick was not of much use anymore, it had been with him for so long, so he decided to bring it anyway.

...

Besides, within the Diancang State Boundary, there seemed to be a Mount Diancang!

He didn’t know if there would be any poisonous gases or miasma in the mountains, so he decided to take Miasma Repelling Pills and Poison-Repelling Pills—second grade ones.

He also prepared some other odds and ends, ensuring he had everything he needed.

The last issue to consider was preparing some means of overcoming his enemy.

Mo Hua pondered silently!

A task for a Mid-Stage Foundation Establishment Cultivation was to pursue a Sin Cultivator, so that Sin Cultivator should also be at the Mid-Stage Foundation Establishment Cultivation.

Since his cultivation was higher than Mo Hua’s, the power of the Fireball Technique would probably be greatly reduced.

As for Formation!

The Second-grade Earth Fire Formation was Thirteen Stripes, a second-grade initial stage Formation, which he estimated would also be less effective in killing a Mid Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

“My offensive means are still too weak!” Mo Hua sighed.

However, he was only at the Foundation Establishment Early Stage.

It seemed normal for him not to be able to beat a cultivator in the Mid-Stage Foundation Establishment.

Moreover, the requirement for this bounty was a Formation Master “adept in formations.”

Apparently, he didn’t need to kill himself.

Relying on his ability in formations, he could just “go with the flow”!

But it wouldn’t hurt to prepare a bit more.

In case he encountered a powerful enemy, it was best if he could also lend a hand.

“Now it’s the third day of the initial period; there are six days left until the ninth!” Mo Hua thought, “Six days should be just enough time for me to learn a new spell!”

“This spell doesn’t need to be offensive!”

“Because my Spiritual Power is weak, apart from the Fireball Technique, other powerful spells would probably be too difficult to learn, and even if I managed to learn them, their power would be too low!”

“So, I should learn a controlling one!”

A controlling spell!

Mo Hua’s eyes lit up, “Second-grade Water Prison Technique!”

The Water Prison Technique was indeed quite useful.

Especially for trapping enemies, interrupting their attacks, and countering cultivators with excellent movement techniques—generally effective every time.

But previously, he had only owned a secret manual for the Primary Stage Water Prison Technique, which was more commonly used during the Qi Refinement Realm.

After his Promotion to Foundation Establishment, the effectiveness of this spell had decreased significantly, and hence he used it less frequently.

And he couldn’t find the secret manual for a higher grade spell.

This was the plight of a Loose Cultivator with a weak legacy.

Mo Hua had no other choice.

But now, having joined the Taixu Gate, things were different.

The Taixu Gate had a long-standing heritage and a profound foundation, having collected many Taoist Skills from all over.

In the Merit Scroll, there should be a Second-grade Water Prison Technique.

Mo Hua felt a hint of excitement as he immediately immersed his Divine Sense into the Taixu Token and rummaged through the Merit Scroll.

In the time it took to drink a cup of tea, he actually found the spell for the Water Prison Technique!

Moreover, it was a complete set!

Primary Stage to Fourth-order, a complete secret manual of the Water Prison Taoist Skill!

There were even some remarks below:

“Water Prison Technique, a rare spell.

Once the Ultimate Technique of the Water Prison Sect, never shared with outsiders.

In the 19,080th year of the Taoist Calendar, the entire Water Prison Sect fell to demonization, suppressed by the Taoist Court.

After its destruction, the Water Prison Technique spread across the world; however, many parts of the spell were missing!

In the 19,900th year of the Taoist Calendar, True Man Yi compiled this technique into volumes, included in the Taixu Gate!”

There was another comment at the end:

“The Water Prison Technique has a niche utility, easy to learn yet hard to master, choose with caution.”

Mo Hua was somewhat astonished after reading it.

This Water Prison Technique actually had some history behind it.

What kind of sect was the Water Prison Sect?

Why did the entire sect turn to demonization?

And who was this True Man Yi!

Mo Hua thought for a moment but didn’t care too much.

The Cultivation World was so vast, with so many sects and cultivators of origin; he simply didn’t have the time to look into each one.

It was good enough that he had something to learn.

Mo Hua glanced at the Merit Scroll and noticed that the complete set of the Water Prison Technique from Primary Stage to Fourth-order cost over ten thousand Merit Points!

Mo Hua gasped.

Too expensive!!

Even selling himself would not cover the cost.

Mo Hua looked carefully again and realized that the spell could be bought separately.

Primary Stage to Second Grade cost only two hundred sixty Merit Points.

The higher grades were the expensive ones; Third Grade cost over two thousand, while Fourth-order cost over eight thousand.

Mo Hua breathed a sigh of relief, “Luckily, I only need to buy the Second Grade…”

But upon further thought, even the two hundred sixty Merit Points for the second grade were not cheap!

He currently had a total of only about two hundred seventy to eighty Merit Points.

This was the result of his hard work, accepting so many bounties, drawing nearly a hundred Formation patterns, and saving up for so long.

Mo Hua was torn, mentally weighing his options for a long time before finally making a painful decision.

Merit Points were meant to be used!

What was the point of earning them if not to spend them?

It was only the cost of one or two Sixteen-Pattern Formations.

If he could master this Water Prison Technique thoroughly, it would benefit him throughout the entire Foundation Establishment stage!

“I’ll buy it!”

Mo Hua gritted his teeth.

Then, with a swipe of his hand, the hard-earned Merit Points vanished in an instant.

Mo Hua found it hard to breathe from the pain.

But the thought of having a new spell to learn made it feel somewhat better.

Without delay, Mo Hua immediately went to the Merit Pavilion to exchange his newly purchased “Second-grade Water Prison Technique.”

The Merit Elder who served Mo Hua was the same one as before.

He glanced at the “Water Prison Technique” secret manual and expressed his surprise:

“Didn’t you say you wanted to save Merit Points to learn Formations?

How come, after saving for so long, you exchanged them for a spell manual?”

“And! for this peculiar Water Prison Technique?”

Mo Hua said, “Sharpening your axe won’t delay the chopping of firewood!

If I learn the spell, I can ‘mix in’ with missions better and earn more Merit Points!

Then I can exchange them for more Formations!”
