Immortality Through Array Formations-Chapter 1070 - 671 Bottleneck

These were specially “offered up” to their Junior Brother by Cheng Mo and Situ Jian.

Mo Hua, holding a chicken leg in each hand, was enjoying himself immensely.

With this grand meal, Cheng Mo and the other four expressed their gratitude for Mo Hua’s “lifesaving” grace.

At the same time, they were thankful to Mo Hua for, although by some coincidental opportunities, genuinely leading them to earn a hefty sum of Merit Points.

Over twenty black-clothed traffickers were killed, and ostensibly, only that black-cloth leader “escaped”.

The abducted cultivators were also rescued.

These trafficked cultivators, all not very old, mostly between ten to fifteen years of age, had Top-Grade Spiritual Roots and were from noble families.

However, they were not from families of Qian State but came from small to medium-sized families across various state boundaries outside Qian State.

They had come early to the Qianxue State Boundary seeking opportunities to join a Sect.

Because they were not local noble sons of Qian State, once abducted, pursuing them became very difficult, and most cases ended unresolved.

Although the traffickers died unrecognizably and without proof of their wrongs,

it was still very fortunate that these children were rescued.

The Taoist Court did not disclose the names of Mo Hua and the others, fearing they might catch the attention of other traffickers, but their significant contributions were a fact.

Thus, the Taoist Court awarded them some Spirit Stones as a reward.

Moreover, they exceptionally allocated three hundred Merit Points to each of them.

These Merit Points were indeed “exceptional,” something that Mo Hua was well aware of.

Because these Merit Points were crediting promptly.

Whereas the Merit Points that Uncle Gu promised him for encircling and killing the Fire Buddha in the Demon’s Cave are still being processed by the Taoist Court, stuck somewhere unbeknownst to him till now with not even a shadow in sight.

Three hundred Merit Points!

Mo Hua was okay with it, though he was also happy inside, he wasn’t the inexperienced disciple who had never seen Merit Points before.

He still had over a thousand Merit Points lying in his account.

Moreover, having killed so many traffickers and saved many people, three hundred Merit Points didn’t count for much.

It’s just that the Taoist Court is always stingy, so having any reward was good.

Not to mention, the Taoist Court also added twenty thousand additional Spirit Stones, which was somewhat satisfying.

But it was different for Cheng Mo and the others.

These children, where had they ever seen so many Merit Points.

Guarding the gate or sweeping the streets, they could only earn a few points.

Updated from freewёbnoνel.com.

Going out on an early Foundation Establishment task, divided among them, each person might get only a few dozen points, sometimes even just ten or so.

Merit Points were precious assets that couldn’t be bought with Spirit Stones.

These three hundred points in hand, were undeniably a huge fortune.

Cheng Mo and his group were so delighted, insisting on treating Mo Hua to a grand meal.

During the feast, Cheng Mo passed chicken legs to Mo Hua, Situ Jian poured fruit wine for Mo Hua, Yang Qianjun and Yi Li toasted to Mo Hua, while Hao Xuan busied himself serving dishes.

A group of people making merry.

Mo Hua was enjoying the meal.

Little Yu Er, imitating Mo Hua, clutched a chicken leg in her small hand and happily nibbled away.

All were fellow sect members, having battled the black-clothed traffickers together, they had undergone a life and death experience, thus the atmosphere at the table was great, host and guests thoroughly enjoyed themselves.

After eating for a while, Situ Jian still couldn’t resist his curiosity:

“Mo Hua… what exactly did you do before?”

So young, yet so skilled in stealth, surveillance, ambushing, Magic Battles, assassination…

This simply didn’t seem like the workings of a Junior Formation Master…

Mo Hua was taken aback.

Then Situ Jian slightly apologized, “If it’s inconvenient, you don’t have to say.”

Though he was indeed curious, a cultivator’s journey always harbored some secrets that they wouldn’t want others to know.

Mo Hua thought for a moment, feeling that since everyone was from the same sect and might help each other in the future, it was okay to share a bit to curb their daily curiosity.

“I come from a Monster Hunter background!”

Mo Hua declared confidently.

Cheng Mo and the rest looked at Mo Hua’s smooth and tender, petite arms and legs, and appeared skeptical.

His appearance didn’t look like that of a Monster Hunter at all…

“Really?” Yi Li asked curiously.

Mo Hua said displeased, “Of course, it’s true!”

His father was a Monster Hunter, so naturally, he was too.

It was just that his physical body was weak, and when hunting Monster Beasts, he couldn’t rush up and fight like other Monster Hunters.

But physical fighting was still fighting, using traps and Formations was also fighting.

Being able to hunt Monster Beasts naturally made one a Monster Hunter.

Moreover, he had even used Formation to hunt down an Evil Demon, if he wasn’t a Monster Hunter, who would be?

Mo Hua explained to them:

“Physical fighting is just a minor aspect, the basics of a Monster Hunter is to take precautions and never engage unprepared…”

“To be prepared ensures success, unprepared spells failure.”

“Whether it’s hunting Monster Beasts or fighting others, before engaging in Magic Battles and combat, one must plan, strategize, be patient, use traps if available, ambush if possible.”

“Actions must be steady, ambushes deep, attacks fierce…”

“These are all lessons my father taught me…”

Mo Hua spoke with an air of pride.
