The Quest for Immortality-Chapter 808: Second Grade

Chapter 808 -594 Second Grade

Mo Hua, day and night, proficiently mastered the Formation Patterns of Chaos Eryi, Three Talents, Five Elements and Eight Trigrams, and Six Harmonies Seven Stars.

The Five Elements Formation Patterns were already very familiar to Mo Hua.

He was only a little familiar with the Eight Trigrams.

The Three Talents and the Four Symbols, and the Six Harmonies Seven Stars, were new to Mo Hua, and they appeared quite foreign to him.

Chaos Eryi was part of an Ancient Formation; the Formation Patterns were somewhat fragmented and not very coherent, making them even harder for Mo Hua to understand.

But no matter whether he was familiar or not, or whether he could understand the Patterns, even if he was just memorizing mechanically, Mo Hua firmly remembered them all.

...

Within half a month, he became very proficient.

However, Elder Master Xun did not test him.

It wasn’t until a month later, after Mo Hua had thoroughly practiced, that Elder Master Xun deemed it time to conduct a spot check.

"Draw all the Formation Patterns of the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams from the ‘Annotations on Formation Patterns of Taixu Gate’, and for the Three Talents and Four Symbols, Six Harmonies Seven Stars, just draw two Formation Patterns for each category... ”

Elder Master Xun instructed.

Then he glanced at Mo Hua, slightly lifting his long eyebrows as if to say, “Just draw randomly...”

Mo Hua immediately nodded, indicating he understood.

So he drew all the Formation Patterns of Chaos Eryi, Three Talents and Four Symbols, Five Elements and Eight Trigrams, and Six Harmonies and Seven Stars.

Because there were too many Patterns to draw all of them within two hours, while the other disciples had “submitted their papers” and left, Mo Hua was still drawing.

Mo Hua’s face was focused as he drew with rapid strokes, appearing confident and non-stop drawing Formation Patterns; the Formations Paper before him piled up increasingly higher...

Elder Master Xun’s eyelids couldn’t help but twitch as disbelief crossed his mind:

"This child... how much has he learned...”

Could he actually have learned everything within a month...

After a long time, when Mo Hua stood up and respectfully placed a thick stack of Formation Papers almost as thick as lecture notes before Elder Master Xun.

Elder Master Xun finally came back to his senses.

He pondered briefly, then with a sweep of his hand, he flipped through the thick Formation Papers, his profound Divine Sense subtly moving to capture all the Formation Patterns in a glance, and he couldn’t help but inhale sharply.

A complete lecture’s worth of Formation Patterns, so meticulously drawn…

And the handwriting was precise and neat, the strokes proficient with not a single correction or error, as precise as if they were printed.

One had to practice countless times for the brushwork to be so solid...

Elder Master Xun was stunned on the spot, speechless for a long while.

"Elder Master Xun?”

A crisp voice rang out.

Elder Master Xun looked up to see Mo Hua’s bright eyes and after a long while, he sighed softly and nodded, saying,

"You’ve learned well.”

Mo Hua’s face brightened with a smile as he politely said, “Thank you, Elder Master Xun, for your guidance.”

Elder Master Xun, seeing Mo Hua’s happy and composed expression, thought silently:

"Am I teaching too slowly...”

…

Thus, in the next lesson on Formation Methods, to ‘challenge’ Mo Hua a bit, Elder Master Xun finally began to teach Second-Grade Formations.

"Second-Grade Formations differ from First Grade. The Formation Patterns that compose Second-Grade Formations are based on and more complex than those of First Grade, and their power is also stronger... ”

"Second-Grade Formation Patterns are, to some extent, a grounding and ‘Sublimation’ of First-Grade Patterns; inversely, First-Grade Patterns are actually derived by breaking down the more complex Second-Grade Patterns... ”

…

Elder Master Xun explained sternly and meticulously.

Other disciples furrowed their brows, finding it somewhat tough to follow.

Some were even confused.

Elder Master Xun, known for his “steady” teaching style, always emphasized “systematic and gradual progress

Why did he suddenly start teaching Second-Grade Formations…

Only Mo Hua listened with great interest.

He already knew how to draw Second-Grade Formations and had grasped some of the Formation principles.

Some of the Formation lore Elder Master Xun talked about was already known to him, but other principles of the Formation Method were new to him, so he greatly benefited from the lecture.

After Elder Master Xun finished, he distributed a Formation Diagram.

It was a diagram of a Second-Grade Ten Patterns Golden Light Formation.

"Study it on your own, comprehend as much as you can, then try to draw it a bit, and during our next class

Elder Master Xun intended to say, “Hand it in during our next class.”

But he paused midway, suddenly startled, and saw Mo Hua looking at him expectantly…

Elder Master Xun pondered, understood Mo Hua’s expectations, hesitated for a moment, then, with a complex expression, changed his words:

"Before the class ends, hand it in first so I can take a look... ”

Then he added, “Draw as much as you can, no need to force it... ”

A group of disciples looked distressed.

Mo Hua, however, was drawing swiftly and confidently.

At the end of the class, Mo Hua handed in a complete, Second-Grade Ten Patterns ‘Golden Light Formation’ to Elder Master Xun.

Though he had anticipated it, seeing the reportedly newly learned but already proficient Second-Grade Ten Patterns Formation, Elder Master Xun’s heart still trembled slightly.

Then he understood.

"So that’s it

"At such a young age, he can already draw Second-Grade Formations… No wonder

A sharp gleam appeared in Elder Master Xun’s eyes.

"It seems, we can go even faster

…

Two days later, Mo Hua went to the Formation class full of anticipation. As soon as he entered, he saw Elder Master Xun waving him over.

Mo Hua was slightly puzzled.

Elder Master Xun pointed at a small table next to him and said, “From now on, you will sit here.”

Mo Hua was taken aback and then whispered, “Gentleman, is this appropriate?”

Elder Master Xun nodded, “Very appropriate!”

Mo Hua took his seat somewhat nervously at the small table, placed near Elder Master Xun, which would be exclusively his from now on.
