Chapter 269: Chapter 268 Concealment

Mo Hua indeed wanted to master the Reversed Spirit Formation.

But a ten-pattern Reversed Spirit Formation required a Divine Sense of the Foundation Establishment Stage to learn. By the time he achieved that, Mo Hua might have already been close to Foundation Establishment himself.

Mr. Zhuang probably wanted to avoid trouble and started to overpromise…

Mo Hua silently thought to himself.

Then he noticed that Mr. Zhuang was looking at him with a half-smile. Mo Hua was alarmed and knew that his internal criticism of Mr. Zhuang had been perceived by him again.

He had no idea how Mr. Zhuang knew.

Mo Hua could only heh heh with a forced laugh and said,

“Gentleman, please rest well. I won’t disturb you anymore.”

After leaving Mr. Zhuang’s Forgetful Residence, Mo Hua hurriedly took out the Concealment Formation and began to study it intently.

The Concealment Formation was a kind of Water Series Formation, but its effect was different from regular Water Series Formations.

Therefore, the Formation Pivot was different, the Formation Patterns had been altered, and it looked even more profound.

However, Mo Hua had sufficient Divine Sense. What he needed to do now was to practice drawing it more.

Practice makes perfect. After drawing the Formation dozens or hundreds of times, even the most obscure patterns would become familiar.

Moreover, Mo Hua had the Taoist Stele, had learned the Meditation Technique, and his Cultivation Technique was the Heaven Yan Jue.

In a few days, he could practice a Formation nearly a hundred times.

It would take others months to practice a Formation a hundred times, and if one were less talented, it could take half a year.

Hence, Mo Hua could learn Formations much faster than ordinary Cultivators.

It took Mo Hua three days to learn the Concealment Formation.

He drew the Formation on paper and injected a little Spiritual Power to activate it. As expected, the entire piece of paper disappeared.

With Divine Sense, Mo Hua could still sense the patterns, but they were somewhat blurred due to the coverage of Water Series Spiritual Power.

Paper was an inanimate object, unable to deceive Divine Sense.

If a Cultivator used a Concealment Technique and further concealed their presence with Divine Sense, other Cultivators could not detect it, unless their Divine Sense was incredibly strong.

Although Diao Laosi was experienced in ambushes, his marital Dao was poor, and he had only managed to cause trouble for so long by relying on his Concealment Technique.

Unfortunately, he fell into the hands of Mo Hua, whose Divine Sense was extraordinary.

It was his bad luck and he got what he deserved.

Diao Laosi had ordinary Divine Sense and was not easily detected while using a Concealment Technique, not to mention Mo Hua, who already had a powerful Divine Sense.

Mo Hua drew the Concealment Formation on his Taoist Robe.

Ordinary Taoist Robes, being soft, are not very suitable for drawing Formations.

In other words, Taoist Robes that could have Formations on them were extremely expensive.

Although Mo Hua was not lacking Spirit Stones now, he did not want to waste them.

If he reached Foundation Establishment in the future, his daily consumption of Spirit Stones would almost multiply. So, saving wherever possible was important.

Mo Hua bought half a bolt of cloth that was suitable for drawing Formations, which was quite famous and cost him a hundred Spirit Stones.

After he drew the Concealment Formation on the cloth, he had his mother sew it into the inner side of his Taoist Robe, so that the Concealment Formation could take effect without wasting Spirit Stones.

Mo Hua tried it out and found that this Concealment Formation still had flaws.

The Formation was drawn on the Taoist Robe, and indeed, the parts covered by the robe could be concealed and would not be seen, but his hands and face, which the robe did not cover, were still faintly visible as light blue shadows.

This was within Mo Hua’s expectation.

Because Taoist Robes that could conceal were essentially considered Spiritual Artifacts, and they were extremely expensive. In Tongxian City, not even one could be found.

Since they were expensive, the Taoist Robes used as Formation media were naturally of high-quality material and craftsmanship.

Mo Hua drawing a Formation on cloth and patching up his Taoist Robe could not compare.

You get what you pay for, and Mo Hua was clear about that.

Still, Mo Hua called his mother to take a look.

Liu Ruhua saw his confident demeanor and watched with a smile on her face.

Mo Hua, in his Taoist Robe, activated the Concealment Formation and then cast the Concealment Technique on himself.

The effects of the Concealment Technique and the Concealment Formation overlapped, creating an invisible flow that covered his entire body, and Mo Hua’s figure completely vanished.

This truly surprised Liu Ruhua.

She covered her mouth and muttered, “I really can’t see him… ”

From the empty space in front of her, Mo Hua’s voice came, “Mother, is it true?”

Liu Ruhua nodded, “Really.”

“Then how about using Divine Sense to check?”

Liu Ruhua activated her Divine Sense and sensed around, then shook her head, “Nothing at all.”

Mo Hua’s figure appeared, a smile gracing her face.

Liu Ruhua also smiled, but then her brow furrowed slightly as she cautioned,

“Although the Concealment Technique is good, don’t use it for bad deeds.”

“Mother, don’t worry,” Mo Hua smiled.

Afterward, Mo Hua still wasn’t quite at ease, so she went to her father Mo Shan as well as Zhang Lan, and also tried it with Bai Zisheng and Bai Zixi.

Nobody could see through Mo Hua’s Concealment Technique.

Mo Shan was somewhat surprised but also felt more reassured.

With the Concealment Technique, coupled with the Water Passing Step, it was more than enough for self-protection against Qi Refinement cultivators.

As a father, he didn’t have to worry too much about her encountering any danger in the Inner Mountain anymore.

Zhang Lan found it rather troublesome just watching.

The spells Mo Hua was learning were becoming more and more enigmatic and increasingly hard to deal with.

The Water Passing Step made her uncatchable, the Water Prison Technique made her inescapable, and now with this Concealment Technique, one couldn’t even see her…

Not only invisible to the naked eye, but even if one extended Divine Sense to the extreme, one couldn’t perceive her presence.

Generally, cultivators who practice Concealment Techniques still have some flaws, which cultivators with strong Divine Sense can discern.

But now, Mo Hua’s own Divine Sense was too strong, so who could see through her?

Could it be that a Foundation Building Cultivator would have to deal with her, a mere seventh-layer Qi Refinement cultivator?

The more Zhang Lan thought about it, the more of a headache he felt.

But then he thought again, he had such a good relationship with Mo Hua, he didn’t need to target her. On the contrary, if there was trouble, he could ask for Mo Hua’s help, so why bother thinking about this?

With that thought, Zhang Lan felt much more at ease.

Bai Zisheng’s mouth fell open, filled with envy.

If he knew the Concealment Technique, he could sneak out to play without Aunt Xue knowing.

Bai Zixi was also somewhat surprised, her eyebrows slightly furrowed. After pondering for a long time, she spoke nearly the same words as Liu Ruhua:

“You can’t use it to do bad things.”

Mo Hua didn’t know what to say for a moment.

As a Qi Refinement cultivator, her father Mo Shan had vast experience, Zhang Lan had profound cultivation, and Zisheng and Zixi came from a well-versed family, yet none could see through her Concealment Technique.

Mo Hua couldn’t help but nod, satisfied with the effect of the Concealment Technique.

But then a doubt arose:

“Qi Refinement cultivators can’t see through it, but can Foundation Building cultivators?”

Should she find someone to test it?

There weren’t many Foundation Building cultivators in Tongxian City. The one Mo Hua was most familiar with was Elder Yu.

Mo Hua cast the Concealment Technique and activated the Concealment Formation, sneaking into Elder Yu’s house in broad daylight.

Elder Yu seemed to have just finished talking with some cultivator and was sitting alone in the living room, drinking tea.

Mo Hua tiptoed into the house and chose a chair at the door, sitting far across from Elder Yu.

Elder Yu showed no reaction.

Mo Hua moved a bit closer.

Elder Yu remained unaware, his head lowered as he drank his tea.

Making as little noise as possible, Mo Hua moved even closer, this time only two seats away from Elder Yu.

Mo Hua silently watched Elder Yu, thinking now you must have noticed me.

But Elder Yu continued to sip his tea, seemingly oblivious.

A surge of joy welled up in Mo Hua’s heart, surprised that the Concealment Technique was working so well.

Even Elder Yu, at the Foundation Establishment Stage, had not been able to detect her Concealment Technique.

It was at that moment that she noticed Elder Yu lifting his head, looking a bit mischievous, and with a smile, he said,

“Having fun?”
