Chapter 815: Chapter 596: You Come and Teach_2

He knew that Mo Hua, that child, was very good at Formation, quite favored by Elder Master Xun. If Mo Hua hurt his hands while Artifact Refining and couldn’t do Formation Painting, he was certain to receive cold looks from Elder Master Xun.

Mo Hua sighed.

He felt helpless too.

Artifact Refining required physical strength, Refining Rune required Spiritual Power, and Alchemy needed financial resources as a foundation.

He lacked all of these.

Indeed, only the Formation, which was based on the consumption of Divine Sense, was the most suitable for him.

...

Mo Hua started to reduce his efforts in the three courses of “Artifact Refining,” “Alchemy,” and “Refining Runes,” and instead, allocated more time to Formation Painting.

But he still had to attend those three courses.

It’s still the same saying, “You don’t have to master it, but you must understand it…”

He didn’t need to personally learn how to refine Pills, refine artifacts, or create Runes, but the basic principles of refining, commonly used Spiritual Artifacts, Runes, Pills, and their respective uses, things to note…

These pieces of Tao Cultivation knowledge were essential to know.

To avoid being poisoned in the future while traveling in the Cultivation World, being secretly attacked with a Spiritual Artifact, or being explosively killed with a Rune…

…

In addition, Taixu Gate also had Taoist Skill classes.

Taoist Skill classes were divided into three types: for Spiritual Cultivator, Body Cultivation, and Sword Cultivator.

You could learn whatever you wanted.

Mo Hua was a Spiritual Cultivator, so he naturally chose the Spiritual Cultivator course.

However, he discovered that the spells and principles taught in Taixu Gate’s Spiritual Cultivator class were fundamentally different from his own magical approach.

The Spiritual Cultivators of Taixu Gate, or the mainstream Spiritual Cultivators, followed a path of using powerful moves for combat.

Those with Superior Spiritual Roots cultivated Superior Techniques, studied Superior Spells, relied on deep Cultivation, gathered powerful Spiritual Power, and unleashed powerful Spells.

Then with one move, they could turn the tables.

Just like Boss Jiang, accumulating vast Spiritual Power, activating the Sword Controlling Technique, condensing pure Golden Sword Qi, and then settling victory or defeat in one strike, deciding life and death in a single sword blow.

Although in the end he missed and died, Mo Hua knew it wasn’t his fault.

His single sword strike was indeed magnificent and powerful.

If it had been someone else, they might have been cleaved to death by him.

Unfortunately, fate was not on his side; he met Mo Hua and died in the prime of his life.

Mo Hua felt a bit of pity for Boss Jiang.

But such moves, while powerful and requiring a long time to gather strength, also expended a lot of Spiritual Power. While preparing, one either risked being interrupted or stood there “taking hits.”

Mo Hua thought back to when Boss Jiang was casting the “Sword Controlling Technique,” the layer of Golden Light he had added to himself in advance.

Because of that layer of Golden Light, Mo Hua’s Water Prison Technique had not disrupted his Sword technique.

Even the power of the Fireball Technique had also been reduced.

“That layer of Golden Light… what exactly is it?”

Mo Hua went to ask the Sect Instructor who taught Taoist Skills.

The Instructor told Mo Hua,

“That is the Gold Body Technique.”

“Gold Body Technique?”

Mo Hua paused slightly; it was the first time he had heard of this Spell.

The Instructor said,

“The Gold Body Technique is a special kind of Spell, mainly defensive, but different from protective Spells like the Golden Bell Shield.”

“The effect of the Gold Body Technique is to enhance one’s body with Golden Light, protecting the meridians, which can reduce the damage taken from Spells to a certain degree…”

“And also ensures that the Spiritual Power circulating within one’s meridians is not obstructed.”

“This point is crucial!”

“That is to say, your Spells will not be interrupted.”

“Within the duration of the Gold Body Technique, you can cast those time-consuming, yet immensely powerful, move without concern, instantly determining life and death, deciding victory or defeat in a flash!”

“You can even face multiple foes alone, relying on a single Top-Grade Daoist Magic to suppress the enemy forces and turn the tide!”

“This is the pursuit of a Spiritual Cultivator, to use the utmost Spells to bring forth supreme power…”

…

Mo Hua felt his blood boil as he listened.

But upon further thought, it seemed to have little to do with him.

He didn’t know any Superior Daoist Magic.

Even if he knew, with his weak Spiritual Root and sparse Qi Sea, he might not have enough Spiritual Power to cast it.

Even if he could cast it, it wouldn’t matter…

Among cultivators of the same rank, his physical body was very weak. Even with the reinforcement of the “Gold Body Technique,” he probably wouldn’t last until he could unleash the powerful move.

Mo Hua knew he couldn’t “take a beating.”

Being as fragile as paper, even with the Gold Body Technique reinforcing him and providing some resistance, at best he gained an extra layer of paper protection, which still wasn’t of much use.

Nevertheless, he still benefited greatly.

It’s no wonder with a long heritage like that of Qian Xue State Boundary.

Gold Body with Sword Control, or Gold Body casting spells…

It was a style of combat logic completely unknown to him before and fundamentally different from his own magic tactics.

It’s a pity that he couldn’t use it…

His approach, taught by Grandpa Gui, was “In all spells, only speed is unbeatable,” and coupled with powerful Divine Sense and swift circulation of Spiritual Power, lower-tier Spells like Fireball Technique were what truly became powerful.

“Superior Spell…”

Mo Hua suddenly remembered something and asked, “Instructor, do these powerful Spells necessarily require Divine Sense to lock onto the target?”

The Instructor was somewhat surprised, “You know about ‘Divine Sense locking’?”

Mo Hua answered modestly, “Somewhat.”

Thus, the Instructor regarded Mo Hua more highly.

Even though his Spiritual Root was a little poor, his Spiritual Power weak, and he knew few Spells, and wouldn’t typically learn Superior Daoist Magic, it was rare for him to have such insight.

Surprisingly, he knew about Divine Sense locking…

The Instructor said with relief, “Naturally, amidst the myriad manifestations of time, there are baffling illusions; what is seen may not be ‘real,’ and what is unseen may not be ‘false.’ It’s very foolish for a Cultivator to rely solely on their eyes…”

“Within Divine Sense lies the true nature of all things.”

“The stronger the Divine Sense, the truer the nature seen.”
