Otherwise, he might have been able to secretly open a gap and slip inside to take a look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, he was also very curious about what a Formation of the Fifth Grade would be like.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In conclusion,” Murong Caiyun advised, “don’t think about Refining Demon Mountain for now\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As for missions, if you have any troubles, just let me know, I’ll definitely help you when I have time.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo Hua was touched in his heart and nodded,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Rest assured, Senior Sister, you go ahead with your tasks, don’t worry about me!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After parting with Murong Caiyun, Mo Hua walked alone towards the Disciple’s Residence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While walking, he pondered in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Senior Sister Murong is going into Refining Demon Mountain\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then Shangguan Senior Brother, Senior Brother Feng, and Senior Sister Qianqian, they should also be entering the mountain\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"After all, Refining Demon Mountain is the main source of merit points for disciples in the middle phase of Foundation Establishment.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that being the case, there would be no one to join him for fun…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although, at the Daoist Court, he was now somewhat familiar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the Daoist Court, after all, was the Daoist Court, not a Sect, and it was complex and murky within, and the merits earned might not necessarily convert into “merit points” of the Sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if they could convert, the process was both complex and protracted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Maybe I should… gather some others to have fun?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who to gather?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cheng Mo and Situ Jian?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo Hua shook his head slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their cultivation was only at the early stage of Foundation Establishment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He used to hang out with those at the middle and late stages of Foundation Establishment, Enforcement Leaders of the Daoist Court, and Supervisor Gu, the Golden Core Stage Uncle Gu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention not leveling up, how could he even consider downgrading?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after much thought, there seemed to be no one else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo Hua pondered for a while and sighed,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ll think about it later\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First, take care of his own matters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After returning to the Disciple’s Residence, Mo Hua sat in meditation in his room and cultivated with closed eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When his Qi Sea was full and his meridians slightly swollen, he opened his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Cultivation!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From now on, he would need to spend more time every day on cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although cultivation takes persistent effort, a gentle and unhurried approach, an extra bit of effort every day would naturally make his cultivation progress faster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo Hua had thought it through.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The second year at the Sect could be very monotonous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His Divine Sense Realm was bottlenecked by his cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bottleneck from Sixteen Patterns to Seventeen Patterns, the leap from the middle to the late phase of Foundation Establishment, was the bottleneck of Divine Sense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That bottleneck was like a chasm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if Mo Hua practiced drawing formations every day and refined his Divine Sense, occasionally protecting little Yu Er from nightmares and getting some “side income”,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His Divine Sense was simply overranked too much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It would be difficult to break through this obstruction in a short period of time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Divine Sense stuck, Mo Hua’s proficiency in formations couldn’t continue to rise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could only broaden his foundation in formations and continue to learn other formations within the Second Grade Sixteen Patterns…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, such formations, after all, lacked challenge, and studying too many of them became somewhat tedious…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo Hua sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wanted to learn higher-level formations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially the Original Magnet-type formations, the construction of those more profound Magnetic Patterns and the application of the Secondary Thunder Patterns, Mo Hua had longed for a while.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But without a breakthrough in Divine Sense, he currently was unable to learn those.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo Hua felt a bit helpless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the following month, since Senior Sister Murong and the others had all entered Refining Demon Mountain, Mo Hua seldom went out for missions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He alone couldn’t take on bounties above the middle phase of Foundation Establishment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The early stage bounties gave too few merit points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was somewhat a waste of time for him to do them alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Better to spend more time drawing Second Grade formations, earning more merit points without having to run around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This made Mo Hua feel even more monotonous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unable to go out for bounties.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His cultivation increasing little by little, slowly, unable to break through the realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His Divine Sense also strengthening bit by bit, gradually, yet unable to break through the realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Er would still occasionally suffer from nightmares at night, disturbed by Demon Monsters, but without the Shepherd of Goat Bones present.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for spells, he had pretty much learned what was necessary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The structural stability of the Mini Meteorite Skill Pattern was now incredibly stable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had also learned quite a few other Second Grade functional formations…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There wasn’t much to aspire to in the short term…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Life was as plain as water, without excitement or joy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, Mo Hua felt that he should proactively find something else to learn…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thought about it and picked up the Gold-Cutting Imperial Sword Technique again, wanting to practice Sword Qi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When it came to cultivating Sword Qi, Mo Hua’s foundation was too poor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other sword-cultivating disciples within the Sect already had their family’s heritage, and after being immersed in it since childhood, they began practicing sword moves and cultivating Sword Qi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At each higher realm, the sharpness of their Sword Qi would increase by a degree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the later stages, they would become one with the sword, their Sword Qi piercing the heavens and reaching the earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo Hua, coming from the background of a Loose Cultivator, barely touched a sword before Foundation Establishment.\u003C\u002Fp>",1148,"2026-06-02T11:31:03.582Z",1,"novelbin.me","e72585112b93ec48409a3af043b44dc31184ee5158e3afe2ceb0384a08b5f592","the-quest-for-immortality-chapter-1035","the-quest-for-immortality-chapter-1033",2429,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-quest-for-immortality-cover.jpg"]
