Chapter 395: Seizing the Array

Mo Hua finished painting the Thick Earth Array, feeling satisfied and nodding his head.

Only by learning to use the array method could it be considered completely mastered.

Mo Hua stood in the spiritual fields, full of vibrant life.

The mountain wind brushed his cheeks, and the spiritual rice lightly touched his palm.

This piece of land seemed to be grateful to him as well.

Mo Hua felt his perception of the earth's breath, which was the essence of the Earth Dao, also become clearer.

Although exhausted, everything was worth it.

Mo Hua smiled slightly, narrowing his eyes.

Having finished painting the array method, Mo Hua was about to leave.

He had done everything he needed to do. The next step was to go to the next place to find other array methods.

They didn't have many belongings, so packing was quick.

After resting for one night and tidying up, they set off the next day by carriage.

Before departing, the spiritual farmers of East Mountain Village all came to see Mo Hua off.

They didn't have many spiritual stones left, so they could only bring some local specialties. Some were spiritual grains, some were vegetables and fruits, and some were chickens and ducks they had raised at home.

Mo Hua couldn't refuse and could only use his storage bag to pack them and put them in the carriage.

With these ingredients, he could also try to make some dishes on the road for Zhuang Xian to taste.

Ding Miao'er pulled Mo Hua's sleeve, feeling a bit reluctant to part.

Mo Hua then admonished him, "Cultivate well, don't be lazy. And you must learn well the things I gave you."

"Okay!" Ding Miao'er nodded solemnly, "Brother, don't worry!"

Then he said somewhat dejectedly:

"Can I still see brother?"

Mo Hua then painted a picture for him and encouraged him:

"As long as you cultivate well, you will definitely see me in the future."

Ding Miao'er's small face immediately filled with anticipation, his eyes bright and shining.

Mo Hua waved goodbye to the villagers of East Mountain Village again, then sat in the carriage.

Kui Lao drove the horse, Big White pulled the cart, and they leisurely stepped onto the main road.

They hadn't gone many steps when they were blocked by a group of cultivators.

The leader was precisely the Sun family head, Sun Yi.

Behind him stood hundreds of Sun family cultivators.

These people spread out and surrounded the carriage, completely blocking the road.

Mo Hua glanced at Zhuang Xian.

Zhuang Xian closed his eyes to rest, saying nothing and seemingly knowing nothing.

Mo Hua understood.

His master's intention was to let him handle the situation entirely.

Mo Hua then lifted the carriage curtain, walked out, and stood on the carriage, looking at Sun Yi from a distance, his expression calm and composed.

Even facing the blockade by a Foundation Building cultivator and hundreds of Qi Refining cultivators, he was confident and without the slightest panic.

Sun Yi couldn't help but praise in his heart:

"What great composure!"

At such a young age, he had such courage, handling things steadily, composed and not surprised.

No wonder he could have such array method attainment.

Sun Yi looked at his son, Sun Ze, again.

The moment Mo Hua appeared, his son actually trembled all over. If not for so many people supporting him, he would have almost covered his face and fled.

It seemed he still had a shadow from the fireball technique.

Or perhaps his brain was damaged by the Thousand Jun Stick.

Now Sun Ze's gaze wandered, and he simply dared not look directly at Mo Hua.

Sun Yi was so angry that his eyes twitched.

Clearly, when they were at home, Sun Ze was excited and loudly shouted about finding this boy for revenge. Now that they actually met, he became a coward again.

He was more than twenty years older than this young array master.

Truly, comparing people makes one die, and comparing goods makes one want to discard them.

Sun Yi looked at Sun Ze with a look of hating iron for not becoming steel.

However, now was not the time to quibble over these.

The most critical thing at the moment was his Sun family's ancestor-passed array method.

Ever since he felt the breath of the spiritual fields yesterday, he couldn't sleep at night. He immediately summoned the Sun family disciples overnight and sealed the roads and paths of Thousand Family Town.

The purpose was to block Mo Hua and prevent them from leaving.

And he waited for the opportunity to secretly go to the spiritual fields and feel the abundant vitality of the fields up close.

He was involuntarily greatly shocked in his heart, followed by wild joy.

Such spiritual fields would likely produce fifty percent more spiritual grains in a year. In other words, their Sun family could also have fifty percent more spiritual stones.

Such spiritual fields were a treasure land!

And even more precious than the spiritual fields was that array method.

To make the land fertile and spiritual produce abundant.

Such an array method could only be considered a true secret inheritance. Only then was it the array method that his Sun family's old ancestor should have passed down!

He had been somewhat hesitant before.

The array method left by the old ancestor, even though he was a member of the Sun family and his cultivation had reached the Foundation Building stage, he couldn't necessarily learn it.

But now his idea was different.

If this small Qi Refining seven layer cultivator in front of him could learn it, was there any reason for him, a Foundation Building cultivator, not to learn it?

So this array method, he had to get it!

Sun Yi led the Sun family cultivators and completely surrounded Mo Hua's carriage.

Mo Hua faced them without any fear.

He remembered Zhuang Xian's teaching that pretending was also a skill of cultivation.

So Mo Hua said nothing.

Because he wanted to pretend to be an expert.

Experts never speak first. That would be beneath their dignity. Only small fries speak first.

Sure enough, Sun Yi spoke first:

"Little brother, hand over my Sun family's array method."

Mo Hua had already expected this and was about to say something when he was suddenly startled and looked behind him.

But there was nothing behind him.

Sun Yi frowned slightly, wondering what was so mysterious about this boy. He followed Mo Hua's gaze and was also startled not long after.

Because not long after, a group of spiritual farmers appeared behind Mo Hua.

They carried knives and forks, and some simple spiritual tools, completely surrounding the carriage and protecting Mo Hua in the middle.

The big man leading them was Ding Da Chuan.

He remembered the elder's entrustment. Facing the Foundation Building stage head of the Sun family, Sun Yi, although he was a bit nervous, he still said firmly:

"You Sun family, don't bully people too much!"

"We will not let you harm the little mister!"

"That's right!"

"Protect the little mister!"

Other spiritual farmers also raised the various spiritual tools in their hands and shouted loudly.

Sun Yi sneered, "You dare to rebel? You really have some guts."

He sneered calmly with an expressionless face, but in his heart, he felt a bit cold.

Things were not good...

The reason he didn't make a move to block Mo Hua and others in East Mountain Village was precisely to avoid such a situation.

What he dreaded was not the spiritual farmers.

There were no Foundation Building cultivators among the spiritual farmers, and the cultivators at Qi Refining nine layer were not necessarily more numerous than those of the Sun family.

If they truly fought, they would not be the Sun family's opponents.

What he was afraid of was the Sun family incurring public anger.

Their Sun family still relied on these spiritual farmers, who worked the land diligently, to support them.

If they provoked the spiritual farmers to rebel and stop farming, their Sun family would have no source of spiritual stones and no luxurious life.

They couldn't possibly let the disciples of their Sun family suffer in the wind and sun and personally farm.

Moreover, once they incurred public anger, the Dao Court Division would not tolerate them either.

The Dao Court Division maintained stability. As long as it was stable, the cultivators of Thousand Family Town, even if they lived more bitterly and tiredly, they would turn a blind eye.

But once it became unstable, if large-scale turmoil among cultivators occurred for no reason, then the Dao Court Division wouldn't mind using their Sun family as an example.

If the Dao Court Division was ruthless and heartless, they could even directly seize the Sun family's assets, both earning extra money and doing a favor to the spiritual farmers, demonstrating the justice of the Dao Court Division.

This was a matter of killing two birds with one stone.

The Dao Court Division could really do such a thing.

And the most terrifying thing was the accumulated resentment after incurring public anger.

Now their Sun family was strong and could still suppress the spiritual farmers.

Once the Sun family declined in the future and there was no Foundation Building cultivator to support them, the accumulated resentment might erupt, and desperate spiritual farmers might exterminate the entire family.

Such things had happened before.

And spiritual farmers were timid. As long as they had a bite to eat, they would not be desperate.

So before, although he exploited the spiritual farmers, he would still leave them a bit, not letting them starve to death.

If the spiritual farmers owed debts, he would only let them sell themselves to repay.

This boy surnamed Mo had shown kindness to the spiritual farmers.

He wanted to capture this boy surnamed Mo, but he didn't make a move directly in East Mountain Village. Instead, he waited for them to leave the village and almost reach Thousand Family Town before blocking them.

But he never expected that the always timid spiritual farmers would actually chase after them to protect this boy.

Sun Yi's expression was grave, and his eyelids kept twitching wildly.

Unless absolutely necessary, he did not want to engage in open conflict and cause large-scale chaos.

Mo Hua was also not willing to see such a thing.

Uniting together and standing against an outsider was sometimes a form of deterrence.

It wasn't necessarily necessary to fight to the death.

The lives of these spiritual farmers were not easy. Even if they resisted, it should be for themselves, for their own homes, wives, and children.

They shouldn't bleed and die due to a momentary impulse.

Once they died, it was very likely that the pillar of a family would collapse.

Leaving behind wives and children would make life even more difficult.

Mo Hua thought for a bit, then said, "Sun Yi, what do you want?"

Being directly called by name by a junior Qi Refining cultivator made Sun Yi feel a bit embarrassed.

But Mo Hua stood in the middle of a group of spiritual farmers, and this group of spiritual farmers obviously listened to him.

Even though he was young, he indeed had the qualifications to negotiate with him.

Sun Yi forced himself not to care about trivial matters like face.

He said coldly, "My requirement is very simple. You hand over the array method passed down by my Sun family ancestor, and I will let you go and not make things difficult for others."

After Sun Yi finished speaking, he waited for Mo Hua to bargain.

Who knew Mo Hua would directly say, "Okay!"

Sun Yi's train of thought was interrupted.

For a while, he didn't know how to continue the conversation.

This boy, doesn't he bargain? Does he agree so straightforwardly?

Sun Yi was stunned for a long time, then squeezed out a sentence:

"You're not playing tricks, are you?"

Mo Hua said disdainfully:

"You are an adult, your heart is dirty. I am a child, I do things honestly. I disdain to play those little tricks."

Sun Yi didn't know what to say and frowned:

"You really want to hand over the array method to me?"

"What I say, I do!"

Mo Hua's voice was clear and resonant.

Sun Yi still didn't believe it, "Why?"

Mo Hua felt that this Sun Yi was a family head after all, how could he be so hesitant... but he still patiently raised his little finger and explained to him:

"First, this was originally your Sun family's array method. I learned it, which can be considered receiving a favor from your Sun family's old ancestor. Now I'm giving it back to you, which is just returning it to its original owner."

"Second, array methods should not be cherished as one's own, but should benefit all living beings. Especially this kind of earth-nourishing array method, the more people who know it, the better."

"Third, although I am not afraid of trouble, I also don't want to cause trouble. We each take a step back and leave a line in life, so that we can meet again in the future..."

Mo Hua was eloquent and his logic was clear.

Sun Yi sighed as he listened and looked at his son who hadn't said a word.

He thought in his heart that truly, comparing goods made one want to discard them. His son was truly better off being discarded.

After Mo Hua finished speaking, he asked:

"How about it?"

Sun Yi hesitated for a long time, still unable to make up his mind.

Mo Hua was so straightforward, which instead made him confused. After a moment, he slowly said:

"How do I know if you are deceiving me, preparing to give me a fake array method to fool me? You first show me the old ancestor's array method."

Mo Hua said indifferently, nodding, "Okay."

After speaking, he took out a booklet from his bosom and threw it far to Sun Yi.

Sun Yi was startled, somewhat unbelievable.

He's really giving it to me?

This boy looks smart, but how can he do things so without calculation?

Sun Yi scanned it with his divine sense and confirmed that there was no problem with the booklet. Then he carefully opened the booklet, looked at it for a moment, and was completely stunned.

The booklet did indeed record an array method.

The array patterns in the array method were intricate and complex, the structure of the array hub was extremely strange, and the notes on the array eyes were dazzling. The entire array method contained eleven array patterns, which was quite unbelievable...

Sun Yi, who had shallow knowledge, only felt his scalp go numb.

What was this?

He didn't understand it at all...
