The Quest for Immortality-Chapter 1257: Charging Forward (3)

Some sect disciples were dissatisfied and occasionally sought to stir up trouble.

But it was nothing more than minor skirmishes, never causing any real commotion.

The mountains were vast and sprawling, filled with his junior brothers; Mo Hua would occasionally hunt monsters, bleed them, stroll through the hills, and live quite peacefully.

Whenever he had time, he would discuss the customization of spiritual artifacts with Master Gu.

This time, during the ten-day leave, Master Gu made a special trip to Tai Xu City to meet Mo Hua.

"Young Master, the armor you mentioned has finally been crafted..."

Master Gu handed Mo Hua a storage bag.

"Inside are two sets of armor, which have been refined over ten times. Now, they can embed formations and serve as spiritual artifacts. At the same time, they are open-source, controllable by divine thought, positioning them somewhere between ’formation media’ and a specialized type of spiritual armor..."

Mo Hua’s face lit up with joy.

He took out the two sets of armor from the storage bag and scrutinized them closely.

On the surface, they appeared to be ordinary armor.

But the internal structure revealed hidden intricacies, as Master Gu mentioned, clearly crafted with great effort.

"Thank you, Master Gu!" Mo Hua said with a bright smile.

"Young Master, no need to be so polite," Master Gu replied with a laugh. "In fact, I should be the one thanking you, Young Master."

"If not for the Young Master’s clever mind and exceptional formation skills that helped us tremendously, Gushan Refining Workshop would probably still be living in poverty..."

Master Gu spoke wistfully, then sincerely added:

"I wonder, Young Master, when you might have time to visit Solitary Mountain City again. I would like to host you properly and extend my hospitality."

Master Gu chuckled, "Although Solitary Mountain City is poor, it has some local wild delicacies that are quite delicious and unavailable elsewhere."

Mo Hua’s eyes brightened as he nodded repeatedly, "Sure, sure!"

He then looked a little regretful, "But Elder Master Xun isn’t letting me wander around for now. When I find time in the future, I’ll definitely visit."

Master Gu was overjoyed and cupped his hands as he spoke, "Then it’s settled."

"Settled!"

After bidding farewell to Master Gu and returning to the sect, Mo Hua began inscribing a First Grade Thirteen Pattern Five Elements Ultimate Formation onto the Five Elements Origin Armor.

After finishing, Mo Hua went to the Dao Room to test it.

His Fireball Technique indeed had its power significantly enhanced.

However, it was hard to gauge precisely by how much.

Besides, since the Fireball Technique was considered a low-level spell, it required little spiritual power. Even with enhancement, its effectiveness seemed limited.

Mo Hua thought about testing out his forbidden technique, Mini Meteorite Skill.

But he felt it might be too dangerous.

After all, it was a forbidden technique.

With the amplification of the Five Elements, if spiritual power spiraled out of control and harmed him, it would create a big problem.

Even if he didn’t injure himself, damaging the Dao Room’s puppets and formations wouldn’t be ideal.

Before entering the sect, he had promised Elder Yi not to mess around, misuse spells, or damage the puppets.

"Better to test it on Cheng Mo and the others..."

After all, this Five Elements Origin Armor was initially meant for them to use.

And since Cheng Mo was a body cultivator with robust blood qi, even if spiritual power backfired or Taoist skills injured him, after resting for ten days or so, he’d likely return to being lively.

Both the Five Elements Source Formation and the Five Elements Origin Armor were relatively stable in design.

Even if something went wrong, it wouldn’t be life-threatening.

Especially for Cheng Mo, with his thick skin and strong physique, he wouldn’t suffer much. He’d be the perfect "test subject."

Mo Hua called on Cheng Mo and Situ Jian, along with others, his face full of anticipation, saying, "Let’s go to Refining Demon Mountain. I’ll show you something..."

Cheng Mo was puzzled, "What is it?" freewebnoveℓ.com

"You’ll find out when the time comes." Mo Hua said with a mischievous smile, keeping it a secret.

Cheng Mo looked completely clueless, but deep down, he felt his junior brother might not have the most honorable intentions.

The group arrived at Refining Demon Mountain.

Mo Hua took out two sets of Five Elements Origin Armor, thought for a moment, then handed one to Cheng Mo and another to Yang Qianjun.

Armor should ideally be worn by body cultivators.

Cheng Mo held the armor, inspecting it, and finding its design unfamiliar, asked, "Are we hunting a new type of monster?"

Mo Hua shook his head, "No, still hunting Cangmu Wolves."

"Cangmu Wolves?" Yang Qianjun was also confused. "But this isn’t Yimu Armor, right..."

Moreover, he had never seen armor of this design.

Having been raised as a Taoist soldier, Yang Qianjun had some expertise in armor.

This armor, while outwardly simple, had an extraordinarily intricate internal structure, vastly different from any armor he’d encountered before.

"Yimu Armor is meant for defense. This armor isn’t..."

Mo Hua didn’t elaborate, merely saying, "If this armor proves effective, there’ll be no need for defense when hunting a Cangmu Wolf. The fight will end in a single round."

The group was stunned by Mo Hua’s words.

A single round, and the battle would be over?

What purpose did this armor truly serve...

Meanwhile, Xun Ziyou noticed Mo Hua and his companions huddled together as usual, whispering something. Assuming they were planning another monster hunt, he didn’t think much of it.

Soon after, Mo Hua and his group entered Refining Demon Mountain.

Mo Hua spent thirty minutes locating a Cangmu Wolf. He then followed the usual routine of tracking, setting traps, and arranging formations.

The Cangmu Wolf was caught in the formation and severely injured.

Cheng Mo and the others rushed forward as usual to encircle and slaughter it.

However, unlike previous hunts, they were no longer wearing the defensive Yimu Armor but the Five Elements Origin Armor inscribed by Mo Hua with the Five Elements Sect Protecting Ultimate Formation.

As Cheng Mo and the others charged forward, Mo Hua activated his divine sense, instantly connecting to the Five Elements Origin Armor and triggered the Five Elements Source Formation within it.

His divine thought flowed into the Five Elements Ultimate Formation, merging with formation patterns and spiritual power.
