But you can’t blame him for misjudging, it’s just that the situation was too extraordinary.
Master Ban said to himself.
After all, throughout his many years, he had mostly dealt with white-haired Formation Masters and had never seen a youngster in his teens drawing formations at such a large Artifact Refining shop project.
Master Ban couldn’t help but click his tongue in wonder.
Now that they had a Formation Master, Master Ban also sighed in relief. Since he had no other duties, he stood behind Mo Hua with Elder Yu, craning his neck to watch Mo Hua draw the formation.
Elder Yu, seeing Master Ban so engrossed, asked softly, “Do you understand what you’re seeing?”
Master Ban shook his head, “I don’t,” and asked in return, “Do you understand?”
Elder Yu also shook his head, “I don’t understand. What are you looking at?”
“You don’t understand and yet you’re looking too,” Master Ban said.
Elder Yu chuckled awkwardly, “I’m just curious, taking a look from the side.”
Master Ban said to himself, I’m seeing a kid this big drawing a formation for the first time, I’m even more curious than you are.
Master Ban glanced at Mo Hua, then at the formation he had drawn, and asked softly:
“What grade of formation is this?”
Elder Yu wasn’t quite sure either but made a guess based on the quality of Mo Hua’s formations, “First-grade, I suppose.”
Master Ban was startled and exclaimed, “Ah?”
Elder Yu glanced at him reproachfully and hushed, “Keep your voice down, don’t disturb his drawing.”
Master Ban lowered his voice again and asked, “What first-grade?”
“First-grade Formation Method?”
Master Ban shook his head repeatedly, “Impossible!”
“Take it or leave it,” said Elder Yu with an indifferent attitude.
Indeed, Master Ban didn’t believe it, but he felt Elder Yu wouldn’t deceive him. After pondering, he could only keep staring at the formation under Mo Hua’s brush.
Although he didn’t understand formations, he could still count the Formation Patterns.
One, two… five, this one has only five patterns.
One, two, three… seven, this one has only seven.
Master Ban suddenly felt complicated. A teenager, capable of drawing seven Formation Patterns, was already at the same level as an ordinary Formation Master.
For such a level, he had inadvertently said “only” seven, truly he had lost count…
Master Ban continued to count.
Finally, in a Single Formation where Mo Hua finished and lifted his brush, he counted nine patterns!
Nine Patterns make a First-grade!
Master Ban was deeply shocked.
“Is it really a First-grade Formation Method?”
Seeing Master Ban’s astonished face, Elder Yu felt secretly pleased. When he heard that Mo Hua could draw a First-grade Formation Method, his expression and tone were the same, and what he probably thought was similar to Master Ban’s.
Master Ban looked at Elder Yu, his voice trembling slightly but still trying to keep it low, “Then this… this kid is now… a First-grade Formation Master?”
“He hasn’t been officially assessed by the Taoist Court, so not yet,” said Elder Yu.
“Still, that’s incredible…”
Master Ban shook his head, still finding it unbelievable.
Now, as he watched Mo Hua Drawing Formation again, his mood was not only one of admiration but also tinged with a hint of reverence.
This was a First-grade Formation Method, after all. In his life, he hadn’t seen many Formation Masters who could draw a First-grade Formation Method.
Master Ban leaned forward again, glanced at the Foundation Stone’s formation, and couldn’t help but exclaim:
“This formation is drawn really well!”
Elder Yu said, “I thought you didn’t understand formations?”
“You don’t need to,” Master Ban waved his hand, “The strokes of this formation, just like they were carved with a stencil, are so orderly and beautiful. I’ve lived this long and have never seen a formation drawn with such beautiful brushstrokes!”
As Mo Hua was praised, Elder Yu also felt delighted, though he still modestly said:
“`
“Oh, he’s still a child, there’s so much more for him to learn.”
Master Ban was once again immersed in Formation work and paid no more attention to him.
After finishing a set of Compound Formations, Mo Hua’s Divine Sense had almost been depleted, so he put down his brush and sat on the ground to rest for a while.
Elder Yu immediately approached with a gentle expression, “Tired?”
It was the first time Master Ban had seen such a “kind” look on Elder Yu’s face.
Having dealt with Elder Yu for so many years, his impression had always been that of a bad temper, sour face, stubborn, and not the least bit shy of swearing at people.
But now, Elder Yu looked exactly like a “benevolent” grandfather…
It was as if he had become a different person.
Master Ban really felt enlightened.
Indeed, Mo Hua was somewhat tired. Drawing Formations on various large construction materials consumed a significant amount of Spiritual Power and Divine Sense, yet it was still within his expected limits.
“I’m fine, I need to sit in meditation and rest for a while.”
Mo Hua said, though what he actually wanted to do was to use a Meditation Technique to recover his Divine Sense.
“Alright, take your time to rest, no rush,” said Elder Yu kindly, and then he didn’t bother Mo Hua any longer but instead examined the Formations that Mo Hua had completed, thinking to himself that Master Ban was indeed right, they were both neat and beautiful.
Upon hearing Elder Yu’s words, Master Ban suddenly became concerned.
Elder Yu could afford not to rush, but he couldn’t.
He pulled Elder Yu aside and quietly asked, “How many Formation Masters have you hired?”
“What do you mean by ‘how many Formation Masters’?”
“Formation Masters who draw Architectural Formations.”
Elder Yu was slightly taken aback.
Master Ban was stunned, “Don’t tell me it’s just this kid, Mo Hua, alone.”
Elder Yu hesitated for a moment, “Just one, that should be enough, right…?”
Master Ban said with minor indignation, “How could one be enough? With so many Formations, how could this child possibly finish them all? Even if he could do it by himself, this project will be delayed until who knows when…”
With such a large Refinery Shop and so many craftsmen, how could it afford such a delay…
Elder Yu stroked his beard and also began to frown.
He hadn’t actually given this matter much thought; as far as the Formations were concerned, he had always been confident in Mo Hua’s ability.
Even if he weren’t confident, it wouldn’t help since he didn’t understand Formations himself.
But Master Ban made a valid point; the Architectural Formation Map was filled with dense and intricate Formations, countless ones, and he wondered if Mo Hua, just a boy, could really finish them all.
He shouldn’t draw too much that excessive consumption of Divine Sense could damage his Sea of Consciousness.
Elder Yu was somewhat worried; it was better for the progress of the Refinery Shop to be slow rather than for Mo Hua to be overworked.
But then Elder Yu thought that with anything related to Formations, Mo Hua usually had everything well thought out; if he hadn’t raised any concerns, there probably wouldn’t be any problems.
Elder Yu asked Master Ban, “Generally, with so many Formations, how many Formation Masters would be needed to complete them?”
“At least five or six, or even up to a dozen,” he replied.
Elder Yu was startled, “That many?”
Master Ban couldn’t help but give him a disdainful look, “What did you expect? Architectural Formations consist of numerous Formation Patterns; it’s not something one or two Formation Masters could complete.”
Elder Yu’s face turned red, but luckily his skin was dark, and it didn’t show.
This was something he truly didn’t understand.
Previously, the Monster Hunters were poor; they had no Spirit Stones to build such a large Refinery Shop, and simply constructing a few rooms was already quite an achievement, which barely required any Formations.
Now, having come into a windfall, they had considered building a Refinery Shop so that the Loose Cultivators at the base level could have an easier life. Otherwise, he might still not know that dealing with Architectural Formations was such a difficult task.
If not for Mo Hua, hiring Formation Masters would probably have cost a fortune in Spirit Stones.
Once the Refinery Shop and the Alchemist’s Business were built and began operating for profit, he definitely had to allocate more Spirit Stones to Mo Hua.
Elder Yu thought to himself.
