Immortality Through Array Formations

```

All of these consecutive events, it seems, can't be reported to the Taoist Court.

If one were to lie, one must concoct a logically tight big lie, or it will certainly give oneself away.

Even if I acted in "self-defense", the Taoist Court wouldn't pursue it, but would definitely label me as a "dangerous individual" and guard against me even more.

This would make my future actions inconvenient.

"But if I don't turn it over to the Taoist Court, what use is this name list that I've gone through so much trouble to decrypt?"

Mo Hua lay on the bed, propping up her arm as a pillow, gazing at the ceiling, her eyes blinking as she pondered.

Suddenly, Mo Hua had a flash of inspiration, and her eyes lit up.

Names, sobriquets...

As the saying goes, "A man's name is a shadow of a tree."

There are only wrong names, not misnomers.

Take "Bald Eagle" for example.

I don't know his actual name, but since he's nicknamed "Bald Eagle," he's likely really bald, and moreover, on the top of his head, there's probably the "Four Symbols Eagle Pattern Formation" inscribed.

A "bald" and an "eagle".

Not a single word of lie, not a hair out of place.

Thus, the many nicknames on this list are also likely taken according to these cultivators' appearance, cultivation techniques, Taoist skills, or the means they excel at while moving about in the cultivation world.

For example, "Poison Rakshasa" obviously specializes in using poison;

Fireworker Chief must cultivate Fire-series techniques and is proficient in Fire-series Taoist skills;

Gold Arhat, well, with the body of an Arhat and the prefix "Gold," probably practices Golden Path-style magic, and there's a good chance he cultivates defensive spells like "Golden Bell Shield."

Flower Gentleman must be a slick-ricked rapist cultivating the wicked cult's "Replenishing from others" technique...

...

In other words, these cultivators must each have a "legacy".

To be able to thrive near Qian Xue State Boundary, a place teeming with prodigies, entrenched sects and profound heritage, and to make a name for themselves to the degree they leave a mark on their path...

Their legacies are bound to be extraordinary!

Boss Jiang's name list, while a record of sin cultivators, can also be considered...

A list of legacies!

Mo Hua's thoughts suddenly became crystal clear.

One's scope in life should be broader.

One can't just think about shearing the sects' wool.

The wool of Sinful Cultivators and Evil Cultivators can be sheared too!

Just catch them, persuade them with reason, and learn the whereabouts of the legacy, then I wouldn't need to spend Merit Points to purchase spells anymore.

Even better, capturing them could also earn me Merit Points!

Such a windfall!

As for how to choose a legacy...

Mo Hua had already thought it through.

I will capture sin or evil cultivators that match the type of spells or legacies I want to learn.

If I want to learn Fire-type spells, I'll find sin cultivators on the list with "fire," "flame," or similar words in their nicknames.

To learn Golden Series spells, go after those bad guys with "gold," "vajra," or other such words in their monikers.

If I want to learn Water-based spells, look for those villains with "water," "wave," "river," "fish," or "jiao" in their names...

...

"Using the map to find the clues," find them spot on.

Whether I find suitable spells will also depend on some luck.

But even if there are no suitable spells, at least I can earn some Merit Points.

Mo Hua's eyes glowed brightly.

"Boss Jiang is a good man!"

This name list was practically another 'Merit Roll'!

As for which spells to learn first, who to "Roll Call" from the sin cultivators, how to find them, how to take on the mission...

These details still need careful planning.

Once everything is ready, it's time to start the "Roll Call"...

Mo Hua held the Jade Slip, her face unable to contain a smile.

Boss Jiang, long dead, had no idea that his diary had become a kind of "death note."

...

Which spell should I learn first?

After pondering deeply for half the day, Mo Hua felt that she should first learn a more advanced Concealment Technique.

Aggressive when advancing, defensive when retreating, also useful when fleeing for one's life.

The Concealment Technique I currently use is way too inconvenient.

The Concealment Technique Mo Hua learned was originally only available to cultivators with Single Water Spirit Root.

She possessed a Small Five Elements Spirit Root, which includes Water Spirit Root, but mixed with others, the concealment isn't thorough, occasionally revealing a hand or head.

Only by combining a Single Water Spirit Root with a Concealment Formation, the technique became somewhat more perfect.

But now that she had reached Foundation Establishment and joined one of the Eight Great Gates, Taixu Gate, the opponents she would face would either be the Proud Sons of Heaven or mostly thorny Sin Culvivators and Evil Cultivators. It was time for an "upgrade," a boost in her concealment tactics.

Mo Hua began flipping through the list.

Those proficient in Concealment Techniques, often thieves or bandits, might have the word "hidden" in their names, or perhaps terms like "Divine Touch" or "Pluck Stars."

After a long search, Mo Hua finally found her first prospect:

Hidden elder-second.

With only a name but no description, Mo Hua intuitively sensed that this person must be a master of concealment!

With the name figured out, the next step was to find this Hidden elder-second...

But how to find him?

Mo Hua frowned, start from the Taoist Court?

She, a mere sect disciple of Taixu Gate, wasn't recognized by the Taoist Court...

I have a Bronze Waist Token from the Taoist Court in my hand.

But this token is associated with an unofficial post, and moreover, it's from the peripheral Second Grade Immortal City of Tongxian City in Li State; here in Qian State, it may not be recognized.

And even if I find Hidden elder-second, I will certainly need help capturing him.

Otherwise, as a cultivator in the initial stage of Foundation Establishment, I might not be able to handle Hidden elder-second, a slippery old hand.

Mo Hua thought it over and over, concluding that there was only one solution: take on a mission.
