Immortality Through Array Formations

```

Alas, the "Introduction to Formation Methods," after all, was meant for beginners, and the content was still too simple.

Mo Hua could not learn anything deeper; the book only had some basic principles of the Eight Trigrams and did not include complete Formation Patterns of the Eight Trigrams, let alone a fully formed Bagua Formation Method.

Mo Hua wanted to learn but had no way to learn.

But now, the "food" had been served right to his mouth!

Elder Master Xun's handouts contained a Five Elements Bagua Series Compound Formation, which integrated the Five Elements and included the Eight Trigrams.

This kind of Compound Formation was also one that Mo Hua had never seen before; it combined two different categories of formations.

One was the Five Elements Formation: Yimu Formation.

The other was the Bagua Formation Method: Gen Mountain Formation.

Therefore, the full name of this Compound Formation was the Yimu Genshan Compound Formation.

Within the Compound Formation, there were also some other simpler small formations and scattered Patterns; these were not critical.

Mo Hua guessed from experience that this Yimu Genshan Compound Formation was used on mountains, for cultivating "wood" type Spiritual Objects such as spirit trees, Spirit Plants, and Spirit Grass.

Using Gen to solidify the mountain, using wood to nurture things.

As for the Bagua class' Formation Patterns, Mo Hua had not yet studied them, so if he wanted to learn this Compound Formation, he had to start from scratch with the Eight Trigrams "Gen" Pattern.

New formations, new patterns!

Mo Hua's eyes brightened, and he immediately began to study enthusiastically.

Elder Master Xun was lecturing on the stage, his peripheral vision caught sight of Mo Hua; he saw his serious little face diligently studying the handouts and nodded slightly in approval.

But then, Elder Master Xun was taken aback.

He found that Mo Hua seemed to be starting to learn the Compound Formation from the "Gen" series Patterns...

Elder Master Xun was slightly astonished.

"Hasn't studied the Bagua Formation Method?"

"Impossible..."

"Even if he hasn't studied it, he shouldn't need to start from the Patterns..."

Elder Master Xun frowned.

"Who taught him Formation Methods, and how can he be so 'biased' in learning them?"

Mastering the First Grade Five Elements Formations to perfection.

Besides that, he estimated the foundations of other formation categories to be very superficial...

If he hasn't even studied the Eight Trigrams Patterns, there's no need to mention those even rarer Three Talents, Four Symbols, Six Yao, Seven Stars categories of formations...

Elder Master Xun shook his head with a hint of regret.

A promising talent, but a pity that his foundation was too weak and his horizons too narrow.

It seemed that whoever taught the child formations was planning to have him learn profound things, and so they force-fed him the Five Elements Formation Methods, making his learning somewhat uneven...

Feeling a sense of regret, Elder Master Xun said nothing.

He continued teaching as usual, and Mo Hua taught himself formations, which he left unbothered.

Until the end of the session, the other disciples had handed in the "homework" from the handouts.

Mo Hua remained still, continuing his study and attempting to draw the Yimu Genshan Compound Formation.

Elder Master Xun did not reprimand him but waited patiently.

The other disciples finished submitting their "homework" and looked sympathetically at Mo Hua, who was being "troubled" by Elder Master Xun and still writing furiously; they all sighed.

But there was nothing they could do, so they left in silence.

In the Tao Teaching Room, only Elder Master Xun and Mo Hua remained.

Elder Master Xun watched Mo Hua with a touch of pity.

But after the time it takes an incense stick to burn, Mo Hua suddenly stopped writing, took a long breath, and then respectfully presented a piece of Formation Paper to Elder Master Xun.

Elder Master Xun was startled.

What was this child submitting?

If the drawing isn't finished, continue to draw it; if it's really not doable, take it home to study and practice; submit it when it's done well.

What could he have submitted now?

A scrambled, incomplete draft of a formation?

Elder Master Xun felt a trace of annoyance, took the Formation Paper, and looked at it, his eyes suddenly twitching.

The Yimu Genshan Compound Formation...

This was a neat, perfect, and error-free Yimu Genshan Compound Formation!

Elder Master Xun's gaze narrowed.

"This child... he drew it out?!"

Starting from patterns, in less than two hours, he drew a Compound Formation containing the Bagua Series Formation Method that he had never encountered before...

Did he learn and draw it on the spot?

Elder Master Xun's hand trembled slightly, his gaze at Mo Hua complicated and difficult to interpret.

"You..."

Elder Master Xun paused for a moment before slowly saying, "Have you studied the Bagua Formation Method?"

Mo Hua shook his head honestly, "No, disciple only knows the Five Elements Formation..."

I also know some Ultimate Formations, which are not within the scope of the Five Elements, but it is not convenient to mention these...

Elder Master Xun was silent for a long time before slowly nodding, "I understand, you may go now..." Read new chapters at My Virtual Library Empire

Mo Hua respectfully saluted:

"Elder Master, your disciple bids farewell..."

After speaking, Mo Hua breathed a sigh of relief, then his mood lightened with the pleasure of having learned a new formation, and his steps became a bit brisk as he lifted his little head and left the Tao Teaching Room.

Within the Tao Teaching Room.

Elder Master Xun stood silently, looking at the Yimu Genshan Compound Formation that Mo Hua had drawn, his mood unsettled for a long time.

After a long while, he sighed softly, murmuring thoughtfully:

"It seems... I need to change the teaching method..."

"I want to see... just how fast this child can learn..."
