Latest website: Bixiashenghua encrypted diary…
What could be inside?
Mo Hua’s eyes lit up, his curiosity greatly piqued.
This Elder Jiang, hidden within the long-winded notes, concealed some unspeakable information…
Moreover, first adding a seal, then encrypting it, so painstakingly, not wanting others to discover it, there must be something good hidden inside!
Mo Hua’s lips curved up, squinting with a smile.
He wanted to unlock it and see.
Zheng Fang said that encryption and sealing are different.
Sealing is separately constructing indeterminate magnetic patterns, forming a blank “fog-like magnetic ink” to cover the text.
Encryption is “disguising” the text.
More accurately, it’s twisting the secondary thunder patterns, changing the magnetic flow, tampering with the fixed and indeterminate “agreement”, causing the presented text to change and form a “disguise”.
The text you see is not the true content within the jade slip.
“If you want to decrypt, you just need to decipher the ‘secret patterns’, correct the twisted ‘secondary thunder patterns’, and restore the jade slip’s text…”
In other words, it’s correcting the “agreement” between the fixed and indeterminate magnetic patterns.
The key is still the secondary thunder patterns…
Cultivators leave traces in everything they do.
Jade slip encryption is no exception.
As long as Elder Jiang used “secret patterns” to view the true content of the jade slip, these secret patterns would generate magnetic flow and leave traces.
These traces might be invisible to other cultivators, but Mo Hua, with his altered divine sense quality and fused with strange calculation and derivation abilities, could perceive them.
This is the same principle Mo Hua used to “unseal” the jade slip.
By perceiving the traces, summarizing the secondary thunder patterns, and then comparing them with known secondary thunder patterns, the true secret patterns can be deciphered.
However, decryption is more complex than unsealing.
Visualizing the jade slip and perceiving magnetic patterns cannot be derived on the Dao Stele.
Therefore, he cannot derive for too long.
Otherwise, his divine sense would be torn apart by the strange calculation and derivation due to severe overload, causing damage.
So, it also takes more time.
Mo Hua patiently, step by step, calculated each magnetic flow meticulously.
Fortunately, in this “diary” jade slip, the seal patterns and encryption’s secret patterns belonged to the same category, so after more than half a month, Mo Hua finally deciphered the true “secret patterns”.
Mo Hua let out a deep breath.
After successfully deciphering the “seal patterns” for the first time, he had again successfully deciphered the “secret patterns” for the first time!
His secondary thunder patterns library was also more abundant.
His attainment in thunder magnetic array methods had taken another solid step forward.
He just didn’t know what he could learn if he continued to learn step by step like this, reaching the extreme…
Mo Hua wrinkled his brow and thought for a while.
Perceiving magnetic flow and thoroughly mastering secondary thunder patterns was like having countless keys.
Then at that time, would the seal patterns and secret patterns of all inheritance jade slips under heaven be nonexistent to him?
Wouldn’t that mean all inheritances under heaven could be easily obtained by him?
“Too scary…”
Mo Hua didn’t dare to think about it himself.
Mo Hua shook his head, then put away these “foolish delusion” thoughts, and continued to mess with Elder Jiang’s “diary”.
Zheng Fang had told Mo Hua exactly how to decrypt.
Mo Hua recalled for a bit, then his divine sense sank into the jade slip, condensing a path of secondary thunder patterns that he had spent a lot of effort to decipher using wandering magnetic ink.
He took this path of secondary thunder patterns as the “secret patterns”, and overlapped and covered the text with traces of magnetic flow one by one.
The secondary thunder flow produced by the secret patterns seeped from the surface layer’s magnetic ink into the indeterminate magnetic patterns, flowed to the bottom layer, correcting the magnetic flow twisted due to “disguise”, thus building a true bridge.
Within the jade slip, Elder Jiang’s diary text also began to deform and twist, finally fixing and revealing the true form under the “disguise”.
Mo Hua looked impatiently.
As he looked, Mo Hua’s expression became intriguing.
These texts…
Were they a “list”?
On the list, a string of names were all cultivation world aliases:
“Poison Rakshasa, Fire Worker Head, Golden Arhat, Flower Young Master, Man Butcher, Blood Woodcutter, Yin Thunder Child, Wonderful Madam, Ghost Face Fiend, Over River Dragon…”
Full of Jianghu spirit, and very improper.
The cultivators corresponding to these names were estimated to be at least evil cultivators, many possibly even evil cultivators, or even demon cultivators.
Mo Hua was greatly surprised, muttering in his heart: “Really can’t judge a book by its cover, Elder Jiang’s social circle is so wide?”
“But that’s not right either…”
These nicknames sound very fierce, these cultivators don’t look like good people at first glance, how could they be on the same path as an ordinary cultivator like “Elder Jiang”…
“These people are not necessarily all acquaintances of Elder Jiang…”
“Then is this list something Elder Jiang obtained accidentally?”
“Or maybe… did he hear about it on the path when he was walking the crooked path, killing, setting fires, cheating, and abducting people, doing bad deeds?”
“Or again, is this the same organization?”
“What organization?”
Mo Hua couldn’t figure it out.
Besides, there was the most crucial problem.
This “list”, keeping it to himself, seemed useless…
“Hand it over to the Dao Court Division in exchange for merit?”
He didn’t catch any bad people, it wasn’t actual merit, and there was no released task, even if he handed it over, he might not be able to exchange it for merit.
If the Dao Court Division asked him how he got this “list”.
How should he answer?
That he was coincidentally abducted by human traffickers, then he slaughtered the human traffickers, killed Elder Jiang, took his storage bag, took his broken gold jade slip, and being proficient in yuan magnetic arrays, he deciphered the “seal patterns”, broke the “secret patterns”, and found this “list”?
It seemed he couldn’t tell the Dao Court Division any of these things.
If he lied, he would still need to make up a logically coherent big lie, otherwise, he would definitely show flaws.
Even if he acted in “legitimate self-defense” and the Dao Court Division didn’t investigate, they would definitely label him a “dangerous element” and be more vigilant towards him.
It would be inconvenient for him to act later.
“But if I don’t hand it over to the Dao Court Division, after I spent so much effort deciphering this list, what should I do with it?”
Mo Hua lay on the bed, arms under his head, looking at the ceiling, blinking and thinking.
Suddenly, Mo Hua’s inspiration flashed, and his eyes lit up.
Name, title…
As the common saying goes, a person’s name is like the shadow of a tree.
There are only wrong names, no wrong “nicknames”.
That bald eagle was like that.
Mo Hua didn’t know his real name, but his nickname, since it was called “bald eagle”, then he was probably really bald, and on his head, there was still a four images eagle pattern array engraved.
One “bald” and one “eagle”.
Exactly the same, not a single word was a lie.
Then, the many nicknames on this list were probably also based on these cultivators’ appearance, skills, Dao laws, or the means they employed in the cultivation world.
For example, “Poison Rakshasa”, as soon as you hear it, they are skilled in poison;
Fire Worker Head, must cultivate fire attribute skills, and also skilled in fire attribute Dao laws;
Golden Arhat, Arhats have strong physical bodies, with the word “gold”, it is estimated they cultivate gold attribute Dao laws, and very likely, cultivate defensive techniques like “Golden Bell Cover”.
Flower Young Master, must be a slick采花贼 (flower plucking thief), cultivating evil sect skills…
In other words, these cultivators must carry “inheritances” one by one!
Being able to make a name for themselves and leave a nickname in the cultivation world in the vicinity of Qian Xue State, where geniuses gather, sects are dense, and foundations are deep, indicates that their “inheritances” must also be extraordinary!
This list of Elder Jiang’s is both a list of evil cultivators and can also be considered…
An inheritance list!
Mo Hua’s thinking suddenly became clear.
One’s vision should be broad.
One cannot just think about taking advantage of the sects.
The evil cultivators’ advantage can also be taken!
As long as he catches them, “convinces them with reason”, and asks about the whereabouts of the inheritance, then in the future, he won’t need to spend merit points to buy techniques.
Even if he catches them, he can still earn merit points!
Pure profit, no loss!
As for how to choose the inheritance…
Mo Hua had also thought about it.
Whatever kind of techniques or inheritances he wanted to learn, he would just go catch the same attribute evil cultivators or evil cultivators.
For example, if he wanted to learn fire attribute techniques, he would find evil cultivators in the list whose nicknames contain “fire”, “flame”, “yan” or similar words.
If he wanted to learn gold attribute techniques, he would find bad people with nicknames containing “gold”, “diamond”, “golden arhat” or similar words.
If he wanted to learn water attribute techniques, he would find bad eggs with nicknames containing “water”, “wave”, “river”, “fish”, “jiao” or similar words…
“Following the map to find”, each time you find one, it’s accurate.
Whether he can find suitable techniques also depends on a bit of luck.
But even if there are no suitable techniques, at least he can earn merit points.
Mo Hua’s big eyes shone.
“Elder Jiang is a good person!”
This list is simply another ‘merit record’!
As for which techniques to learn first, whose name to pick among the evil cultivators, how to find him, how to take the task…
These things still need to be carefully considered in detail.
Once preparations are made, and everything is ready, he can start “calling names”…
Mo Hua held the jade slip, and a smile involuntarily appeared on his face.
The deceased Elder Jiang still didn’t know that he was dead, but the diary he left behind had turned into a “death diary”.
Which techniques should he learn first?
After half a day of deep thought, Mo Hua felt that he should first learn a more perfect concealment technique.
He could attack when advancing, defend when retreating, and it would be useful when escaping for his life.
His current concealment technique was too inconvenient.
The concealment technique Mo Hua learned could originally only be cultivated by those with a single water spiritual root.
He had a small five-elements spiritual root, although it also contained a water spiritual root, it was after all mixed, so his concealment was not thorough, and he would occasionally expose a hand or a head.
Combined with a concealment array, double concealment made it better.
But now he had already reached the Foundation Establishment stage and entered Tai Xu Gate, one of the Eight Great Gates. His future opponents would either be a group of geniuses or mostly troublesome evil cultivators and cultivators, so he needed to “update” and improve his concealment methods.
Mo Hua began to flip through the list.
Evil cultivators skilled in concealment techniques are mostly thieves or robbers, and their names might contain the word “hidden”, or words like “wonderful hand”, “star plucker”, etc.
After flipping for a long time, Mo Hua finally found the first lucky person:
Hidden Old Two.
Only a name, no introduction, but Mo Hua intuitively felt that this person was definitely a concealment expert!
The name was decided, the next step was to find this Hidden Old Two…
But how to find him?
Mo Hua wrinkled his brow, should he start with the Dao Court Division?
He was a small Tai Xu Gate disciple, the Dao Court Division might not know who he was…
He had a bronze waist token from the Dao Court Division.
But this waist token was from an external, or rather, a second-grade immortal city in the remote Li State, Tongxian City’s Dao Court Division waist token, it might not be recognized here in Qian State.
Moreover, even if he found Hidden Old Two, he would definitely need to find people to help him capture him.
Otherwise, he, a small cultivator in the early Foundation Establishment stage, might not be able to hold this old slick, Hidden Old Two.
Mo Hua thought and thought and felt there was still only one way: take a task.
He needed to try his luck and see if the sect’s reward list would just happen to release a task to capture Hidden Old Two.
All the evil cultivators on Elder Jiang’s list were in the vicinity of Qian Xue State.
As long as Hidden Old Two did evil, he would definitely be remembered by the Dao Court Division.
The Dao Court Division had insufficient manpower, so they would definitely send the reward to the sects.
Like this, he could “naturally” go and capture Hidden Old Two, take advantage of him, and obtain the inheritance of the concealment technique.
This required a bit of luck and “fate”.
In the following days, after finishing classes and meals, Mo Hua would take out the Tai Xu Order in his spare time and stare at the “reward list”, flipping through tasks one by one.
As long as he saw words like “thief”, “concealment”, “hidden”, Mo Hua would pay attention.
But these kinds of rewards were very few, and after days of flipping, there was no progress.
One afternoon, after eating and drinking his fill, Mo Hua sat and chatted with several fellow disciples in the disciple residence.
There was the big blockhead Cheng Mo, the Li State sword cultivator genius Si Tu Jian, Zheng Fang from the Zheng family of Zhen State, and several other disciples he got along with relatively well.
Mo Hua told them stories.
He talked about how fierce the demon beasts in Da Hei Mountain were.
How dangerous and exciting it was to hunt demons.
What zombies were like.
What a walking corpse was, what an iron corpse was, what a copper corpse was, and how they could become a corpse king.
What it was like when a corpse tide covered the mountains.
And some affairs of evil cultivators luring souls and demon cultivators eating people in the wild mountains and fields.
This scared these geniuses who never left home and were raised in family homes.
Cheng Mo opened his big mouth and muttered: “Mo Hua, you’re not deceiving me, are you…”
“If you don’t believe me, forget it…”
Mo Hua said he was thirsty, picked up the teapot, and drank several mouthfuls with a gurgling sound.
Cheng Mo was still a bit skeptical, “How old are you? Hunting demons, corpse tides, evil demon paths… no ghost if you’re not bragging…”
“Believe it or not!” Mo Hua was too lazy to bother with him.
“I don’t believe it…”
“Then why were you still listening with relish?”
Cheng Mo paused. Although he didn’t believe it, Mo Hua’s words were so real and vivid, it was indeed fascinating to listen to.
Si Tu Jian was also fascinated, but he thought of another thing.
“Speaking of hunting demons…” Si Tu Jian said, “It seems that we can also hunt demons within the sect.”
“Sect? Hunt demons?” Mo Hua was stunned, “Is there such a thing?”
Si Tu Jian doubted, “You don’t know?”
Mo Hua nodded.
He was a loose cultivator, it was his first time coming to Qian Xue State, his first time joining a sect, and no one had told him these things.
Wen Ren Wan did explain some things, but she couldn’t explain everything in detail, there would always be some omissions.
Mo Hua asked: “Where can I hunt demons?”
Si Tu Jian said: “In Qian Xue State, there is a ‘Refine Demon Mountain’. There are many demon beasts inside, which were specially left there by the cultivators’ great powers, so that sect disciples can temper their Dao laws and work together to slay demons…”
“However, that’s still a bit far off.”
“Disciples who have just entered the sect are prohibited from entering the Refine Demon Mountain, they need to be at least in the mid Foundation Establishment stage.”
“There might be many rare demon beasts inside the Refine Demon Mountain. The materials on these demon beasts are very precious, specially used to refine spirit tools, especially spirit swords…”
“Forging swords?!”
Mo Hua’s eyes lit up.
Si Tu Jian also had some anticipation, “That’s right, it is said that some spirit swords must be forged using the bones of some demon beasts inside the Refine Demon Mountain in Qian Xue State as materials…”
Mo Hua nodded slightly, involuntarily thinking that in the inheritance of the Broken Gold Royal Sword Art in his hand, there was a class called “sword tool forging method”.
It explained how to forge the sword tools needed for royal swords…
He still wanted to continue asking clearly, but suddenly his heart skipped a beat, as if something he had always been expecting had already happened.
Concealment technique!
Mo Hua immediately flipped open the Tai Xu Order and discovered that a batch of tasks had indeed been added to the Tai Xu Order.
Among them, one task looked clearly ordinary, but in Mo Hua’s eyes, it felt particularly eye-catching:
“Qian Xue State Dao Court Division releases a reward…”
“A strange robbery and murder case…”
One more chapter added today, but it will be a bit late
