Latest URL: bixiashenghua Gu Changhuai’s face was extremely difficult to look at.

He remained silent for a long time, not speaking. He turned his head and saw Mo Hua just eating a melon, a pair of bright and spirited eyes secretly looking at him. Then he frowned and said,

“Why are you still not leaving?”

Mo Hua didn’t really want to leave.

The melon in his mouth today was especially fragrant and sweet.

But seeing Uncle Gu’s face the same color as the bottom of a pot, Mo Hua felt helpless, sighed, and then thought about standing up to leave.

A joyful old woman from the Gu family, seeing Mo Hua’s “wronged” expression, immediately rebuked Gu Changhuai:

“What are you doing, bullying a child?”

“He’s just sitting here eating a melon, how can that hinder you?”

“It’s not like it’s something that can’t be seen…”

“It’s not that Auntie is telling you, you have a bad temper every day, you should restrain it a bit. In Dao Ting Si, being fierce towards those evil cultivators is fine, but when you return to the Gu family, towards all the relatives and elders, who are you showing this face to?”

Gu Changhuai’s expression stiffened after being scolded by this elder.

After the old woman finished speaking, she changed to a kind face, looking at the well-behaved and lovely Mo Hua, and couldn’t help but praise him in her heart.

This child has grown up really well.

His temperament is also good.

Unlike children from other families, some clearly have good looks, but in their eyebrows and eyes, it’s all arrogance due to favor, selfishness and overbearingness.

This child is just different, his gaze is clean, lively and active, and he looks sincere and polite.

The more the old woman looked, the more she liked him.

It was the first time she had seen Mo Hua, and she didn’t know his identity.

But she thought that since he could appear in the Gu family and eat melon in front of Gu Changhuai, he was nothing more than a nephew or relative of some generation in the Gu family.

The family is big, and they, as elders, couldn’t recognize all the younger generation.

Moreover, it was New Year, and old friends and relatives came and went. It was common to have a few children they didn’t recognize.

The old woman smiled and said to Mo Hua:

“Child, don’t be afraid, you eat slowly…”

“Your Uncle Gu is just cold-faced but warm-hearted, and speaks a bit unpleasantly. You don’t need to be afraid of him, just eat your melon properly…”

Mo Hua blinked a pair of innocent and clear big eyes and said obediently:

“Thank you, Elder.”

Then he sat back down righteously.

Gu Changhuai only felt his scalp numb.

“Auntie, you…”

“What about me?”

The old woman immediately sat next to Gu Changhuai and poured herself a cup of tea:

“No one in the clan manages you, and you don’t manage yourself either…”

“Wan’er is married, has a husband and child, and it’s not convenient for her to come forward for some matters. If I, this aunt, don’t manage, won’t you be delayed your whole life…”

Gu Changhuai’s face was stern, looking stubborn.

The old woman sighed, her tone softening a bit, “This girl is a direct descendant of the Hua family from Baihua Valley, one of the twelve major sects. She’s about the same age as you, but a bit younger…”

“Now she’s an inner disciple in Baihua Valley.”

“Her cultivation is only at the late stage of Foundation Establishment, um… peak of Foundation Establishment…”

“Looking at her, she’s not far from Golden Core…”

“At her age, being in the late stage of Foundation Establishment is indeed a bit old, but as long as she breaks through the realm and enters Golden Core, this age will be just right…”

“Your ages are similar, and in terms of cultivation, she is a bit weaker than you, so you have more confidence and don’t need to look at her face for everything…”

“You are a direct descendant of the Gu family, and she is a direct descendant of the Hua family…”

“You are the Dian Si of the Dao Ting Si, and she is an inner disciple of Baihua Valley, who will be an elder after Golden Core…”

“It’s indeed a good match…”

“Mhm mhm!”

Mo Hua listened from the side, nodding frequently.

Gu Changhuai gave Mo Hua a glare.

The old woman was unhappy, “Auntie is talking to you, be serious…”

“You’re not young anymore, don’t think about fighting those evil cultivators all day long.”

“Worry more about yourself…”

Seeing Gu Changhuai not moving, the old woman sighed, and said in a low voice:

“You are a child of a noble family. In a family, no matter how high your cultivation is, if you have no offspring and your bloodline doesn’t continue, you will sooner or later be marginalized…”

“Wasn’t your Third Uncle Ancestor like that?”

“He had no sons or daughters his whole life. When he was alive, his cultivation was high, and he had absolute authority in the clan. Later, when his great limit was approaching, he could only give away his inheritance and family property everywhere…”

“Now that his body has died and his Dao has disappeared, there isn’t even anyone to offer him incense.”

“It’s still me who arranges an altar and offers a sacrifice for him every year during festivals, and lights a few incense sticks…”

“He was a Cave Void expert, and it was still like this, let alone you, a Golden Core expert?”

“Not to mention other things, just the spirit stones, pills, and spirit tools in the clan…”

Gu Changhuai coughed, and looked at Mo Hua, who was holding a melon and silently gnawing on it.

The old woman was impatient, “Don’t interrupt, he’s a child, he won’t understand even if you tell him…”

Gu Changhuai was speechless.

This child’s belly is full of bad ideas, more so than many old and cunning demonic cultivators…

You simply can’t see this boy’s true face clearly!

Gu Changhuai felt powerless in his heart, but he was also too lazy to say anything, otherwise his aunt would scold him again.

The old woman paused, “Where was I just now?”

Gu Changhuai didn’t want to answer.

Mo Hua then added from the side: “You were talking about ‘spirit stones, pills, and spirit tools in the clan’.”

“Oh, right,” the old woman smiled at Mo Hua, then glared at Gu Changhuai, and continued:

“Spirit stones, pills, spirit tools in the clan… will definitely be prioritized for those branches that have already established their families and have many offspring…”

“Forming a Dao Companion and forming an alliance through marriage between two families, supporting each other, with many people, you will never be bullied. If there is something good, help each other out, and the good fortune won’t flow to outsiders…”

“You, being alone, won’t get any good things in the clan. If you are secretly bullied or schemed against, no one will speak up for you…”

“Your temper is still stubborn…”

“You don’t listen to what I say…”

The old woman of the Gu family, a genius romance novel character (s23us), became more and more angry as she spoke.

Gu Changhuai’s face was also not good.

Mo Hua reminded from the side: “Elder, you’ve gone off topic.”

The old woman paused.

Mo Hua then said in a low voice: “Marriage!”

“Oh, right…” the old woman looked at Mo Hua gratefully, “I almost forgot, the matter of marriage is the most important.”

The old woman then said to Gu Changhuai: “See that girl from Baihua Valley when you have time, the two of you can chat and see if you can get along…”

“If you get along, I’ll ask someone to go to Baihua Valley to propose marriage…”

“It can’t be delayed any longer…”

The old woman thought for a bit, then smiled and squinted, “I heard people say that girl is extremely beautiful, like a flower and jade, like a fairy, and she matches you very well…”

Gu Changhuai’s expression was already somewhat numb.

Just like a wooden figure.

Mo Hua even suspected that the words his aunt had just said went in his left ear and probably came out his right ear.

Finally, the old woman summarized in one sentence:

“That’s how it is then, I’ll arrange for you two to meet when you have time…”

After she finished speaking, she left busily.

Mo Hua also finally finished eating the melon in his mouth.

He thought about it and felt that one is like a flower and jade, and the other is romantic and unrestrained. It sounded like a good match.

He just didn’t know if it was truly “like a flower and jade”, or “like a flower” and “like jade”.

Mo Hua felt that Uncle Gu was good to him and even sent him merit. He should do something in return, so he said mysteriously:

“Uncle Gu, I have an acquaintance in Baihua Valley, or… I can inquire for you…”

Before Mo Hua could finish speaking, a spiritual fruit was stuffed into his mouth.

The spiritual fruit was stuffed by Gu Changhuai.

Mo Hua glared at Gu Changhuai, took the spiritual fruit, bit into it, and found that it was quite sweet, and couldn’t help but eat a few more bites.

As he ate, Mo Hua finally remembered the proper business.

He sighed again and said: “Uncle Gu, it’s not that I’m telling you, you’re not young anymore, you should go and see, just go and see…”

Mo Hua was halfway through speaking when he saw that the atmosphere was not right.

He looked up and saw that Uncle Gu’s face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and his eyes looked like he was about to get angry.

Mo Hua immediately knew what to say:

“If you don’t want to see, just forget it… I’ll leave first!”

Then he slipped away and ran.

Seeing Mo Hua instantly run away without a trace, Gu Changhuai sighed helplessly again, only feeling his head ache endlessly.

Mo Hua left the living room, still pondering in his heart.

Baihua Valley.

Late stage of Foundation Establishment, inner disciple, like a flower and jade…

He always felt that there was something subtly strange about this.

Mo Hua walked and thought, and suddenly saw that the old woman from earlier – Uncle Gu’s aunt – hadn’t gone far.

Mo Hua’s eyes lit up, and he ran forward, shouting:

“Elder!”

The old woman was surprised, seeing it was Mo Hua, she was somewhat unexpected, and then smiled:

“My given name is ‘Hong’, others call me ‘Hong Elder’, you can call me that too.”

“Hong Elder!” Mo Hua said crisply.

Hong Elder nodded, smilingly said: “Right, which family are you from, child? Not the Gu family, right…”

“My surname is Mo,” Mo Hua said.

“Surname Mo?” Hong Elder frowned.

In the vicinity of Qian Xue State, there are no families with the surname Mo among the families that interact with the Gu family…

“I know Aunt Wan,” Mo Hua said.

Hong Elder was somewhat astonished, and immediately understood.

Aunt Wan, Wen Ren Wan…

That should be a relationship with the Shang Guan family, or the Wen Ren family.

The big clans of noble families have many people, intermarry with each other, and have complicated relationships. If they are not close, it is indeed hard to distinguish them clearly.

But since he calls that girl Wan’er “Aunt Wan”, he is probably not an outsider.

Hong Elder smiled, then became kinder.

She didn’t inquire too much about the many matters of the Gu family.

For a while, she didn’t associate the young Mo Hua with the matter of Yu’er.

Hong Elder smiled and said: “Have you enrolled in school?”

Mo Hua nodded, “I am a disciple of Tai Xu Men.”

Hong Elder’s eyes showed praise, “Being able to enter the Eight Great Sects is indeed very good.”

Just…

Hong Elder was again somewhat surprised.

This child looked weak in blood energy, also weak in spiritual power, and his spiritual root was not good either…

How exactly did he enter Tai Xu Men?

Tai Xu Men was willing to accept such qualifications?

But she didn’t ask further, as it was their first meeting, and it was not suitable to ask such questions that would make the child “embarrassed”.

“Hong Elder, I have a question I want to ask you…”

Hong Elder was somewhat unexpected, and nodded:

“Ask.”

Mo Hua said in a small voice: “I often come to the Gu family to play with Uncle Gu, but I seem to have never seen Uncle Gu’s father and mother…”

“Play with Changhuai?”

Hong Elder opened her mouth wide.

She even thought of looking up to see if the sun had come out from the west today…

How could there still be a child willing to play with Changhuai?

Changhuai’s bad temper, it’s good that he doesn’t scare people away.

What can they play?

Play as the Dian Si of the Dao Ting Si, play handling cases, hunting down and chasing evil cultivators?

Hong Elder shook her head, somewhat not understanding.

This child knows Wan’er…

Perhaps Changhuai is looking at Wan’er’s face, that’s why he brought this child.

Hong Elder thought silently in her heart.

As for Changhuai’s father and mother…

Hong Elder hesitated for a moment, sighed and said: “His father and mother died.”

Mo Hua paused, “Died?”

Hong Elder found a pavilion nearby and sat down, saying in a light voice:

“This is not a secret, no need to hide it from you, but the specific matters are not convenient to tell you. Moreover, you must not mention it in front of your Uncle Gu…”

“Mhm mhm!” Mo Hua nodded.

In Hong Elder’s pupils, there was some melancholy and concern.

“Changhuai’s parents both died when he was young, so he was naturally withdrawn…”

“Of course, even when his parents were alive, this child was still naturally withdrawn…”

Hong Elder thought carefully for a moment, and determined: “He is naturally withdrawn, it should be innate, and has nothing to do with other matters…”

“However, without parents to rely on, being bullied is always inevitable.”

“At that time, it was always his cousin, who is your Aunt Wan, who often took care of him. Changhuai has listened to his cousin’s words since he was a child…”

“Now that he’s grown up, over a hundred years old, he’s still indifferent to others, but he’s very attentive to Wan’er’s matters…”

Mo Hua nodded slightly.

No wonder…

Hong Elder sighed again, “I just want him to have a Dao Companion who can change his withdrawn and cold nature, otherwise he will sooner or later…”

Hong Elder didn’t finish speaking, but there was a layer of gloom in her eyes.

Mo Hua thought for a bit and said:

“Hong Elder, rest assured, I will advise Uncle Gu when I have time!”

Hong Elder was very astonished, and couldn’t help but smile:

“Good, if you can persuade him and let him find a Dao Companion, I…”

Hong Elder thought for a moment, and promised:

“In the future, I’ll find you a beautiful and satisfactory little wife!”

Mo Hua was caught off guard, his small face turned red, “I… it’s still early…”

Hong Elder saw Mo Hua’s shy and cute appearance and giggled non-stop, “Then what do you want, tell me at that time. If I can do it and it’s not too absurd, I will definitely help you…”

“Mhm!”

Mo Hua nodded with a smile.

After that, the two chatted about some family matters.

Hong Elder was an elder of the Gu family, her cultivation seemed profound, and her generation was high, but she was very talkative and liked to gossip, and she especially liked matchmaking.

Mo Hua couldn’t help but sigh, in this vast world, there really are all kinds of elders…

After chatting for a while, Hong Elder had matters to attend to and left.

Mo Hua was still pondering in his heart.

When the Fire Buddha self-destructed, Uncle Gu saved him.

Mom and Dad both told him that a drop of kindness should be repaid with a spring.

That female teacher from Baihua Valley, he would find Senior Sister Qianqian and ask when he had time, to see if he could inquire about any news.

Uncle Gu’s lifelong matter, he wanted to worry about it for him!

Mo Hua nodded.

But for now, there should be no opportunity. He would have to wait until the sect reopened for school, and find time to ask when he was doing tasks with Senior Sister Qianqian.

After that, Mo Hua returned to Tai Xu Men.

This year, he spent it all in the sect.

Although it was a bit cold and deserted, it was also quiet.

If he was bored, he could still go for a stroll in the nearby Tai Xu City.

Tai Xu City is an immortal city built dependent on Tai Xu Men, and quite a few cultivators also live inside.

During the New Year, Tai Xu City was also decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, very lively.

There were also some customs and habits completely different from Li State.

Besides, most of Mo Hua’s time was spent researching and perfecting his technique, which he got from the Falling Fire Technique, to create a stable technique structure, thereby preliminarily improving a fireball forbidden technique.

《Demon Path Refine Evil True Secret》 This secret book, Mo Hua also kept in his storage ring.

But he didn’t dare to look at it in the sect.

The sect did not allow any disciple to bring in demonic cultivation methods, evil techniques, or unorthodox techniques.

Once discovered, the consequences were very serious.

Although Mo Hua secretly brought it in, he didn’t dare to look at it in the sect.

He even suspected that there might be other means inside the sect to monitor demonic power, demonic qi, and other breaths, in order to prevent disciples from secretly cultivating evil techniques and going mad.

Compared to that, the forbidden technique was safer.

After all, the forbidden technique Mo Hua was researching only involved the principles of techniques, and did not contain any evil methods.

Mo Hua continued to research, optimize, and improve his forbidden technique fireball.

He was not seeking greater power.

Because the power was already strong enough.

What he was doing now was to make the technique itself more stable in structure, controllable in fusion, and reduce the risk of losing control. To a certain extent, he also needed to reduce the consumption of spiritual power…

Thereby making this technique completely stable.

After days of effort, through nearly dozens of versions of improvement and hundreds of modifications by Mo Hua, the overall flow of spiritual power and the inherent structure of the technique were already very stable.

Mo Hua wanted to find an opportunity to try it more.

Arrays needed to be learned and used, and so did techniques.

Inside Tai Xu Men, the suitable place to test techniques was naturally the Dao Law Room.

Even during the New Year, there were elders on duty in the Dao Law Room.

It was also Elder Yi, whom Mo Hua was very familiar with.

Mo Hua arrived at the Dao Law Room, saw Elder Yi, and felt somewhat strange:

“Elder, you didn’t go back to your clan for the New Year?”

Elder Yi drank tea and shook his head, “I went back to take a look, that’s enough…”

“There are so many people in the clan, I’m not essential, but the sect is different.”

“Moreover, it’s much quieter here than at home. At my age, having a quiet place is better than anything…”

Elder Yi’s words were full of emotion.

Mo Hua asked in a small voice: “Elder Yi, how old are you?”

“I…”

Elder Yi almost said his age, but thankfully he hesitated a bit.

“You shouldn’t ask about this kind of thing…” Elder Yi said, then raised an eyebrow, “What are you here for this time? Practicing techniques?”

Mo Hua nodded.

During the New Year, he didn’t go back to his sect or clan, but stayed to practice techniques.

Elder Yi instantly felt that Mo Hua was much closer to him.

“Go, pick one casually!”

“Thank you, Elder Yi!”

Mo Hua smiled, then walked towards the inside of the Dao Law Room, but after walking a few steps, he retreated back again.

Elder Yi was somewhat strange, “Is there something?”

“Mhm,” Mo Hua nodded, and said in a small voice: “Elder, can I go to the Dao Law Room for the late stage of Foundation Establishment to practice techniques?”

“Late stage of Foundation Establishment?”

Elder Yi’s whole body shivered, and he looked at Mo Hua with a vigilant expression, “What do you want to do?”

“Nothing…” Mo Hua said with a smile, “I just feel that the Dao Law Room for the late stage of Foundation Establishment is safer…”

The Dao Law Room for the early stage of Foundation Establishment is also very safe.

It’s you who isn’t safe…

Elder Yi thought silently in his heart.

“Be honest during the New Year, don’t mess with those dangerous things…” Elder Yi said in a small voice.

“Mhm mhm, rest assured, it’s very safe!” Mo Hua guaranteed.

“Go on, go on,” Elder Yi waved his hand.

Mo Hua smiled: “Thank you, Elder Yi!”

Mo Hua followed the direction Elder Yi pointed out and entered a somewhat strange Dao Law Room.

The technique puppets inside the room were more special, made of more precious materials, with firmer defenses, and more technique defense arrays on them.

Similarly, all four walls of the entire room were reinforced by second-grade high-rank arrays.

After Mo Hua entered the Dao Law Room, Elder Yi just stared at that Dao Law Room without blinking.

He was afraid that if he wasn’t careful, there would be another “boom”.

Mo Hua and the technique puppet would be “both harmed”.

It didn’t matter if the puppet was damaged.

If Mo Hua was injured, this year, including next year, would probably not be “quiet”.

Thankfully, a long time passed, and there was nothing abnormal in the Dao Law Room.

Mo Hua seemed to be practicing techniques normally.

Elder Yi finally put down his hanging heart, and then thought to himself that he seemed to be “worrying unnecessarily”.

He was an early stage Foundation Establishment cultivator. It was already absurd that he could inadvertently make a technique collapse and blow up an early stage Foundation Establishment Dao Law Room.

But no matter how absurd, it was impossible to blow up a late stage Foundation Establishment Dao Law Room…

Elder Yi leaned back in his chair again and leisurely drank his tea, enjoying the rare leisure time.

Inside the Dao Law Room.

Mo Hua also didn’t make any “dangerous” attempts again.

Otherwise, if he wasn’t careful and injured himself, Elder Yi would also have a bad New Year.

He still understood Elder Yi’s difficulties very well.

Mo Hua only rubbed fireballs according to the structure of the “forbidden technique” that he had improved many times and stabilized.

Using two techniques simultaneously, he condensed a fireball from the same source.

His divine sense strongly pressed, causing the fireball to collide and squeeze at high speed, producing a technique collapse, the inherent spiritual power fused, and condensed into a new “small fireball” containing powerful spiritual energy.

On the fireball, the fire spiritual power was like lava, flowing and entwining, the fire power was extremely condensed, showing a uniform light purple color.

This fireball had less power than the uncontrollable forbidden technique fireball Mo Hua cast at the beginning.

Compared to the fireball that blew through the Fire Buddha’s chest, the power was also slightly weaker.

But at the same time, the danger coefficient was reduced to the lowest.

The technique itself was more controllable.

The casting speed was also faster.

According to Mo Hua’s past combat experience, a completely controllable technique could be used more stably and exquisitely in actual combat.

If a technique had a risk of losing control, it was a double-edged sword.

While killing the enemy, it was also possible to kill oneself.

So, in pursuit of stability, he deliberately lowered the power of the technique and reduced the consumption of spiritual power.

In exchange, he gained more precise, quick, and composed technique control.

Mo Hua calculated in his heart.

Stability and safety come first!

After this forbidden technique of his became skilled enough, he would try to unlock the limit step by step.

Through a deeper layer of technique collapse, he would produce spiritual power fusion.

He would maximize the power of this forbidden technique…

But before this, there was still a problem:

He needed to give this fireball forbidden technique a new name.

“Falling Fire Technique” definitely couldn’t be used.

This was the Fire Buddha’s forbidden technique. If he said it out, someone with a heart would discover it and cause suspicion.

“Fireball Technique” wouldn’t work either…

Too ordinary.

“Forbidden Technique Fireball” was even worse…

This was equivalent to labeling himself as a “forbidden technique user” and being afraid that others wouldn’t know…

Mo Hua looked at the small fireball in his hand, which seemed to be condensed with lava, and frowned for a long time. Finally, his eyes lit up.

The fireball is fused and contains falling fire.

Then the name of this forbidden technique would be:

Small Falling Stone Technique!

Mo Hua nodded, his eyes shining.

The New Year passed very quickly.

A month passed in the blink of an eye.

Tai Xu Men reopened.

The disciples who had spent the New Year elsewhere all had bitter faces, were listless, and returned to the sect unwillingly.

The cold and deserted Tai Xu Men for a month became noisy again.

This was Mo Hua’s second year of studying in Tai Xu Men.

After a year of cultivation, most disciples had already preliminarily adapted to sect life.

Next, they would begin to formally “connect” with the sect system.

A few days after the reopening, with the permission of the Tai Xu Palm Door, all the new disciples of this session were formally granted the authority of “merit” on the Tai Xu Order.

They would also begin to do tasks.
