The Quest for Immortality

Mo Hua couldn’t wait and began to study the Token.

Before that, he took some time to reset his ”Thunder Magnetic Miniature”.

He completely cleaned off the Secondary Thunder Patterns left by the black-robed Formation Master from the Thunder Magnetic Miniature.

After ensuring the Thunder Magnetic Miniature was ”spotless”, Mo Hua felt at ease.

Then he repeated the same trick, attempting to connect the Thunder Magnetic Miniature to the black-robed Formation Master’s ”Guest Elder Token”.

To Mo Hua’s surprise, the Thunder Magnetic Miniature infiltrated the Guest Elder Token with almost no effort.

This Guest Elder Token was ”Open Source”.

Even all its permissions were open.

Mo Hua pondered for a moment and then roughly understood.

Strictly speaking, this black-robed Formation Master was not a Cultivator of the Demon Sect.

In the Demon Sect, after the ”traitor” incident, there was panic, and some suspected that there were underlying issues with their Demon Sect Tokens, thus they specifically hired this black-robed Formation Master to solve the problems with the Demon Sect Tokens.

Since they needed to check the Demon Sect Token, they naturally had to give this Formation Master an ”interface”.

And this ”Guest Elder Token” was used to provide this black-robed Formation Master access to the Yuan Magnetic Compound Formation of the Demon Sect through the Token interface, to investigate Thunder Magnetic anomalies — namely, his own ”Thunder Magnetic Miniature”.

And this black-robed Formation Master, being in the same ”trade” as him, naturally liked to give himself ”permissions” just like Mo Hua did.

Before he died, he didn’t have time to destroy the Token, which left all the ”doors” wide open for Mo Hua.

Mo Hua felt a bit regretful.

If he had known this Formation Master was so ”considerate”, he would have let him die with some understanding.

Being beaten to death in such a muddled manner, he must have been somewhat discontented even after death.

Mo Hua sighed, and then began to carefully study the ”inheritance” left by this Formation Master.

But after studying for a while, he frowned.

The ”doors” of these permissions were somewhat special, having specific Thunder Magnetic Patterns on them, and many patterns were of the Third Grade, far beyond his formation capability. Even a few Second Grade ones were very difficult.

Presumably, this was part of the black-robed Formation Master’s own Thunder Magnetic legacy, which Mo Hua couldn’t quite understand.

”Looks like it’s going to take some time to slowly figure it out...”

Mo Hua silently thought, and then focused his attention, preparing to study the Guest Elder Token properly, when suddenly the Magnetic Patterns trembled. ⱤÄꞐộ𝐛Ěs

A string of text was transmitted over.

Mo Hua was taken aback.

”Someone is messaging me?”

”No, that’s not right, it’s for the dead black-robed Formation Master... It’s from the Demon Sect?”

Mo Hua was slightly surprised and immediately looked at the string of text:

”Mr. Yuan, excuse my boldness, how goes the investigation?”

Mr. Yuan?

Mo Hua was startled, ”This title sounds so familiar.”

He recalled that back in the Bi Mountain Demon Cavern, the lair of the Fire Buddha, there was a Formation Master proficient in Yuan Magnetic Formation, also surnamed ”Yuan”, whom the Fire Buddha called ”Master Yuan”.

”All surnamed ’Yuan’, could they be of the same family? Or from the same sect, sharing the same legacy?”

Mo Hua mused to himself.

Speaking of which, that ”Master Yuan” was also secretly tracked down by him, and then had Uncle Gu along with Gu An and Gu Quan directly ”rudely” beat him to death...

Both died in almost the same way...

While Mo Hua was deep in thought, another message came through the Guest Elder Token:

”Mr. Yuan?”

It seemed that Mo Hua’s lack of response aroused some suspicion.

Mo Hua was a bit apprehensive but hadn’t thought of how to reply, so he sent a ”versatile” response for the moment:

”Busy.”

Sure enough, the other party replied: ”It was imprudent of me, I’ll bother Mr. Yuan later...”

Little did they know, the current ”Mr. Yuan” was no longer the original ”Mr. Yuan”.

The current ”Mr. Yuan” was actually ”Mr. Mo”.

Mo Hua coolly replied: ”Hmm.”

After that, the other side didn’t send any more letters.

Mo Hua, taking advantage of his free time, breathed a slight sigh of relief, then began to contemplate:

”I need to find a way to cover it up, can’t let the Demon Sect find out that ’Mr. Yuan’ is already dead...”

”And, the whole investigation of the Thunder Magnetic Formation also needs to be glossed over.”

After all, now that ”Mr. Yuan” is already dead, there’s no one who can investigate him.

Moreover, ”Mr. Yuan’s” Guest Elder Token is now in Mo Hua’s hands.

How could he possibly investigate himself?

Mo Hua sent a message:

”The Yuan Magnetic Compound Formation has been thoroughly investigated, the underlying Magnetic Patterns are intact, and the sensation of Thunder Magnetism has no problems...”

Mo Hua was about to send it out when he paused and shook his head, erasing the statement.

”That won’t do... It’s too obvious.”

Putting himself in their shoes, the Demon Sect must suspect something to have invited Mr. Yuan.

And Mr. Yuan certainly noticed something, which is why he spent so much time investigating.

If I simply say ”no problem” so easily, not only would it arouse the Demon Sect’s suspicion, but it would also make ”Mr. Yuan” seem incompetent, unable to find the problem.

”I can’t say it like that...”

Mo Hua deliberated for a moment, then replied afresh:

”Was busy just now...”

”According to my investigation today, there is a very peculiar ’Secondary Thunder Flow’ hidden in the Yuan Magnetic Sea, bizarre yet cautious. It occasionally surfaces but quickly hides again. I’ve found some clues, but I’ll need more time to investigate further...”

Mo Hua spoke very ”professionally”.

These matters are something only a Thunder Magnetic Array Master could understand, and most of what he said was based on facts.

There’s no need to hide what’s obvious.

Shortly after the message was sent, a response arrived from the other side:

”Truly worthy of being ’Mr. Yuan’, I must rely on you, sir, to pay more attention to this matter. Once it is accomplished, our sect will have generous gifts to present.”
