Chapter 1086: Chapter 675 Support_3 Chapter 1086 -675 Support_3 Since this is the case, I must keep my small sapling self hidden quietly in the forest, avoiding the limelight to prevent getting destroyed by strong winds. Taixu Gate is that forest. The fellow disciples around me are all trees. The better and stronger they are, the better I can hide. Then I will rely on a large forest and the dense trees to cover myself, absorb nutrients in silence, grow quietly, and eventually, unexpectedly become a towering tree! Mo Hua’s eyes gleamed slightly as he felt admiration in his heart. Master is truly impressive! Such a distant matter has been strategized by Master. “Support in combat!” Mo Hua set his goal, and his thoughts also gradually became clear: With my abilities, support in combat, enhance the strength of Cheng Mo and others. Then, with the help of Cheng Mo and others, track down human traffickers, hunt Divine Remains, and devour Divine Marrow. I should hide in the shadows, trying my best not to stand out. Also, think of ways to keep my trump cards hidden even deeper. After that, rely on the ability of “support” to just get by within the Sect! Mo Hua silently nodded to himself. However, such a matter still has many details to consider. Especially hunting the Evil God, which is very dangerous, calling on Cheng Mo and others now might be a bit too soon. But the matter of support in combat can be prioritized. How exactly to support in combat? What methods and limitations are there, how to apply them in a Magic Battle? These need some time to study. … In the following days, Mo Hua kept thinking about the matter of “support.” Thinking over and over, it still came back to the categories of “Formation” and “Spell”, especially the application of “Formation” was crucial. But the application of a Formation… For Mo Hua, using it by himself is quite simple, controlling ink with Divine Sense, directly able to draw on the ground. But applying a Formation to “support” others, involves Formation design, Formation media refinement, and matching issues such as fellow disciple’s Spiritual Root, Cultivation Technique, Taoist Skill, and combat habits. Mo Hua needed to think through these things clearly before he could start working on them. In the next few days, whenever Mo Hua had a break or rest from classes, he pondered over this issue. One midday, while Mo Hua was eating at the Disciple’s Residence, nibbling on a chicken leg and pondering a Formation. Cheng Mo suddenly sat next to Mo Hua, pretending to sigh heavily. But he sighed for quite some time, and Mo Hua didn’t pay him any attention. Cheng Mo quietly “offered” a chicken leg to Mo Hua, then looked up at him expectantly. Mo Hua took the chicken leg and nodded, “What’s the matter, tell me.” Cheng Mo then joyfully expressed, “Mo Hua, it’s so hard to earn Merit Points.” “Uh-huh.” Mo Hua bit into the chicken leg. “I’ve only earned fifty Merit Points this whole month.” “Oh.” Mo Hua’s cheeks were puffed. “Doing ordinary tasks, you can’t earn many Merit Points…” “I’m pretty good at Drawing Formation…” Mo Hua said. Cheng Mo had a complex expression, feeling both envious and a bit jealous. Although Mo Hua didn’t have many Spirit Stones, when it came to Merit Points, he was a veritable “little tycoon,” much richer than them. “I’m running out of Merit Points…” Cheng Mo said reluctantly. “Oh…” Mo Hua kept eating his chicken leg, indifferent. Then suddenly, he became alert and eyed Cheng Mo, “You’re not trying to borrow Merit Points from me, are you? I’m not going to lend them to you…” He needed many Merit Points for learning various Formations. “No…” said Cheng Mo awkwardly. “So what do you want to do?” Mo Hua was puzzled. Cheng Mo quietly said, “Mo Hua, do you have any quick ways to earn Merit Points?” “Formation…” “Excluding Formation.” Cheng Mo stated firmly. Let this Formation Dummy earn Merit Points by Drawing Formation? It’s like asking a butcher to do embroidery, purely tormenting… Cheng Mo looked at Mo Hua somewhat plaintively. Mo Hua sighed, “Then there’s nothing I can do…” Cheng Mo shook his head, firmly saying: “You definitely have a way.” Mo Hua puzzled, “Why are you so sure?” Cheng Mo whispered, “You’re so smart, having Elder Master Xun backing you up, with a Court Official as an uncle, and your skill in ‘punishing the evil and promoting the good’ is so adept, you definitely know some special way.” Mo Hua corrected, “Elder Master Xun is not my backer.” Cheng Mo looked unconvinced. Mo Hua somewhat helplessly asked, “What kind of way are you looking for?” Cheng Mo hesitated for a moment, then whispered like a thief: “Are there still human traffickers to catch…” Mo Hua was a bit surprised, but still shook his head, “Human traffickers aren’t like mice, you can’t just catch them whenever you want…” “One catch per month is also okay, three hundred Merit Points!” Cheng Mo said with a pained expression. Right now, he only makes fifty a month. Mo Hua ate his chicken leg without commenting. “Other Sin Cultivators are fine too…” Cheng Mo sighed upon seeing this, “Now there are too many disciples doing tasks, the good tasks are snatched up early, and most of those we can get earn fewer Merit Points.” “Some tasks with rich Merit Points value are beyond us, people with shallow rewards experience and insufficient task history won’t let us take them…” “‘We’?” Mo Hua raised his eyebrows slightly. “Who else is there…” “Who else but Situ Jian and the others…” Cheng Mo sighed again, “At this rate, it would take an eternity for me to accumulate enough Merit Points to exchange for Spiritual Objects to temper my body…” Cheng Mo started to lament in front of Mo Hua. Mo Hua listened and looked contemplative. He had not planned to take Cheng Mo and the others out so soon. Directly targeting the Evil God was indeed risky. And for Cheng Mo and the others, it was still too early. However, now they can’t earn Merit Points… Mo Hua’s thoughts shifted slightly. Maybe take Cheng Mo and the others out for some practice? Start simple, catch some Sin Cultivators for some basic training, then work up from easy to challenging, and then meddle with the Evil God’s minions, the black-clad human traffickers? Seeing Mo Hua blinking, not sure what he was thinking, but visibly seeing a turning point appeared, Cheng Mo’s eyes lit up, he quickly handed over another chicken leg, solemnly saying: “Junior Brother, it depends on you…” Mo Hua took the chicken leg, thought for a moment, sighed, and pretended to be in a dilemma: “Let me think about it first, if there’s a clue, I’ll tell you all about it.” Cheng Mo was overjoyed and hurriedly thanked him: “Thanks Junior Brother! From now on, you are my real brother!” Mo Hua had been considered Cheng Mo’s “real brother” many times before, and it wasn’t that special anymore. But taking Cheng Mo and the others to earn some Merit Points didn’t seem like a bad idea. Assisting in eradication wasn’t as simple as it sounded. How exactly to do it could also involve using them as “guinea pigs” to test the waters. Mo Hua nodded slightly, gradually made up his mind. … During the break, Mo Hua went to the Gu Family again. He wanted to ask Uncle Gu if he could use some connections to have Taoist Court issue tasks through Uncle Gu, then take on those tasks himself, catch Sin Cultivators, and earn Merit Points. If Uncle Gu agreed, he would then have a complete “industrial chain” linking Taoist Court and Taixu Gate to earn Merit Points. Once the “industrial chain” was established, he could then independently seek, issue, and perform tasks to efficiently earn Merit Points. Although he wasn’t lacking Merit Points now, that was only for now. There will be more uses for Merit Points in the future, and you can never have too many. Of course, this depended on whether Uncle Gu agreed. Mo Hua wasn’t confident before, but after the Fire Buddha incident, given his current friendship with Uncle Gu, Mo Hua felt that it was possible for Uncle Gu to agree. Even if he didn’t agree, it was still worth a try. But upon arriving at the Gu Family, just as he entered the main gate,:UIButtonTypefaceMo Hua unexpectedly bumped into a cultivator. He was burly, with a majestic appearance, resolute eyes, slightly dark skin, muscles as solid as iron blocks, condensed Blood Qi, and deep cultivation. This person was none other than the Third Grade Golden Core Realm Artifact Refiner, Master Gu from Solitary Mountain Artifact Refining City.
