The Quest for Immortality-Chapter 852: Rudeness (2)
The time it takes an incense stick to burn later, Elder Master Xun had finished speaking, picked up his tea cup, and started drinking his tea.
Considering what Elder Master Xun had said in his mind, Mo Hua went over the key points again but still felt somewhat dissatisfied.
The main issue was that Elder Master Xun hadn't gotten to the "main point" yet.
Moving his thoughts slightly, Mo Hua blinked and then said,
"Elder Master, if I wanted to 'disassemble'... no, I mean to recraft a Letter Token, how would I go about it?"
Elder Master Xun's eyelid twitched slightly, "Disassemble?"
Mo Hua nodded repeatedly, correcting himself, "Crafting!"
Elder Master Xun looked at Mo Hua suspiciously and asked in a low voice,
"You aren't... planning to do something bad, are you?"
Mo Hua, with a serious expression, clarified,
"Elder Master, I am a Taixu Gate sect disciple, a good Cultivator who follows the laws and regulations!"
Elder Master Xun stared at Mo Hua for a moment, noticed his clear gaze and upright demeanor, seemingly not like someone planning to do bad deeds, and finally felt relieved.
That's right...
Mo Hua, at such a young age, what kind of bad ideas could he have?
Even if he had bad ideas, it's just a Letter Token, what bad things could he possibly do with it...
Besides, the Formation principles involved in a Letter Token are extremely profound, their application very complex, and it's not as if just because he says so, he could truly "craft" one.
Just because one says it, doesn't mean they can learn it.
If that were really the case, teaching Formations would be quite simple.
Elder Master Xun nodded and generously said, "Alright, I'll tell you a bit about it..."
Mo Hua was overjoyed, "Thank you, Elder Master Xun!"
Seeing Mo Hua's smiling face and friendly appearance, Elder Master Xun felt a warmth in his heart and smiled slightly as he said,
"The application of the Formation in a Letter Token is quite complex..."
"Although Drawing Formations also values the use of ink and brushes, the compatibility between Formation media and Formation, these requirements are not too stringent."
"But a Letter Token is different..."
"The Formation media is special, the requirements for ink are strict, and furthermore, the structure of the Formation, or more precisely, the Formation Pivot framework, is quite different from ordinary Formations..."
Elder Master Xun explained to Mo Hua one by one:
"First is the Formation media..."
"The Letter Token uses a jade token as the Formation media; this kind of jade is quite rare, and it must be able to shield against thunder and Original Magnet powers, block Divine Sense prying, and have good enclosure properties..."
"The Spiritual Ink is also different from ordinary ink..."
"For a Letter Token, 'Magnetic Ink' is used."
"As the name 'Magnetic Ink' suggests, it is Spiritual Ink containing the power of Thunder Magnetism, made by combining some Monster Blood from thunder-type Monster Beasts with some magnetized Spiritual Objects..."
"Ordinary Spiritual Ink stays as whatever it is painted as, but Magnetic Ink is different..."
"Magnetic Ink is not fixed; it will form different characters according to Thunder Magnetic Induction and variations in Formation Patterns."
"Furthermore, the Formation Pivot framework is even more complex..."
"The Thunder Magnetic Formation's Pivot structure includes two parts, one part is the fixed Thunder Magnetic Formation Formation, which is the basic framework used to sense magnetism."
"The other part consists of Variable Formation Patterns."
"These Patterns can change and through 'Magnetic Ink', manifest as the 'characters' within the Letter Token."
"Overall, the Prime Magnetic Formation within the Letter Token leverages the unchanging Thunder Magnetic Formation to use the principle of Thunder Magnetic Induction, causing the 'Variable Formation Patterns' to change, thereby altering the 'Magnetic Ink' in real time to manifest various characters, in order to achieve the effect of conveying messages..."
Elder Master Xun finished this complex piece in one breath, he took a discreet glance at Mo Hua and found him with bright eyes and an enlightened expression. Elder Master Xun was taken aback.
"You... understood?"
Mo Hua nodded slightly, modestly saying,
"I understand a little..."
Elder Master Xun felt somewhat dazed.
This was the Thunder Magnetism Formation...
How could this child learn it so quickly...
Such an esoteric and complex Formation principle had taken himself half a year to have a general understanding in his mind.
"Could it really be that his Divine Sense is too strong, his foundation too solid, his aptitude too high... so once he succeeds, he understands it all, a single hint and it's clear?"

Elder Master Xun couldn't help muttering to himself.
Mo Hua then asked, "Elder Master, do you have the 'Thunder Magnetic Array' here? I would like to have a look..."
Elder Master Xun nodded.
Of course, he had the Thunder Magnetic Array at hand.
Instinctively reaching into his Storage Bag, he was about to pull out the Formation halfway when suddenly he remembered something, coughed softly, and put the Formation back.
"I forgot... the Thunder Magnetism Formation, it's not taught by the Sect..."
"If you want to learn it, you have to earn Merit Points and exchange for it yourself."
"Oh..."
Mo Hua felt a bit disappointed.
He was so close...
Elder Master Xun was about to take out the Formation Diagram...
However, he was also a bit puzzled, "Elder Master, isn't the Thunder Magnetism Formation taught by the Sect?"
Elder Master Xun shook his head, "Such confidential Formations are generally not taught in the Outer Gate, and even in the Inner Gate, not many disciples learn it..."
"And it's difficult to learn..."
"Difficult to learn?" Mo Hua questioned, "Does it require high Divine Sense?"
"It's not a matter of being high..." Elder Master Xun said, "It's that same saying again, it's too complex..."
Mo Hua didn't quite understand.
Elder Master Xun continued, "Because this type of Formation involves a large number of 'Secondary Thunder Patterns', which are Variant Formation Patterns, the strength of Divine Sense required for learning will naturally be higher, but it's only slightly higher than general Formations..."
"The most complicated part is that this kind of Thunder Magnetism Formation isn't useful just because one person has learned it."
"This type of Formation is part of a system."
"It's like Compound Formations and Large Formations, where multiple Cultivators must build the Formation together, linking and responding to each other..."
