Fire Monster

Chapter 102: Extreme Bargain
"Thank you, Commander!"

Zhao Guanshan looked so terrified and grateful that he was almost kneeling on one knee.

People who don’t know would think that the relationship between the two sides is very harmonious.

"It's okay, it's just a small favor. Talents like Deputy Captain Zhao are exactly what the Provincial Government needs. Don't worry, when the war is over, I will recommend a government office for him. It's a waste of talent to stay in this small pioneer camp. It's really a waste of talent. Every time I think of it, I feel guilty and can't sleep at night!"

Ding Wanjin was filled with emotion and excitement. He wanted to pat Zhao Guanshan on the shoulder, but he couldn't reach him.

The next second, Zhao Guanshan bent down on his own initiative and said, "Hey, hey, hey, look how well we cooperate here. You see, we are really a model of capable officials who respect and appreciate each other."

After three rounds of flattery, Zhao Guanshan went to the so-called secret vault No. 3. If things went as expected, that old man Ding Wanjin had already set up a trap for him here.

It would be fine if he just repaired and assembled psychic weapons in an orderly manner.

As long as he dares to have any ill intentions, Ding Wanjin will definitely use him as a handle to deal with him.

If he was luckier, Ding Wanjin would have reported it directly.

If he's unlucky, Ding Wanjin will be able to blackmail him so much that he won't have any surplus value for the rest of his life.

How could this dark, cunning, and wretched old fox be so easy to deal with?

However, all this had actually been anticipated by Zhao Guanshan.

If he didn't have some ability, how could he dare to come and give me the upper hand after the falling out?
Secret Vault No. 3 was not in the barracks where Ding Wanjin once lived, but where the marching captain once lived. However, it had obviously been rearranged in the past few days. It looked more formal, more in line with rules and procedures, and more official.

This point is clearly written even on the secret key document.

Hereby, Zhao Guanshan, a ninth-rank inspector, has applied to borrow a Xin-class operating table for five days to repair psychic weapons. The Second Development Camp Commander Ding Wanjin has reviewed and approved it. It is now filed in accordance with the laws of the Taoist Palace and the internal regulations of the Provincial Administration.

There's even the seal of the Second Pioneer Camp on it, so I'm asking you whether it's official or not, and whether it complies with regulations or not.

Ding Wanjin is really good at playing by the rules!
Unfortunately, he only miscalculated one thing.

Zhao Guanshan is not a martial artist, he is a half-baked Qigong practitioner.

This alone is enough to render ineffective all the tight nets and deadly traps deployed by Ding Wanjin.

With a silent smile, Zhao Guanshan followed the procedure strictly and pressed his identity badge on the secret key document. Then the secret key document turned into ashes, but his identity badge immediately granted him the authority to enter and exit here freely for the next five days.

When the door of the secret vault was opened, it was empty inside, with only an operating table placed in the center.

Next, Zhao Guanshan moved all dozens of broken psychic weapons in.

After pretending to walk around for a while, he started the operating table and began the legal and compliant dismantling. By the time the dismantling was completed, it was already late at night.

Zhao Guanshan couldn't help yawning a long time ago.

So he packed up, took away all the spirit-supplying arrays, went out directly, and went back to sleep.

There is nothing wrong with the whole process, and it is all legal and compliant. Even if I took away all the spirit-supplying arrays, it is because they are the most valuable and I am afraid of losing some of them. Is there anything wrong with carrying them all with me?
Just after Zhao Guanshan left, in another barracks, Ding Wanjin sneered. In front of him, there was a huge ghost eye floating. In this ghost eye, there was a panoramic view of the No. 3 secret vault.

Every move of Zhao Guanshan will be recorded here.

Therefore, it doesn’t matter when he comes back or when he leaves, as long as he dares to break the rules, that’s when he will be imprisoned.

In the two thousand years since the establishment of Linjiang Prefecture Taoist Palace, there have been countless people who wanted to rebel, resist, and test the law with their own bodies, but where are they now?
Among the prisoners held in the Governor's Prison, which one was not once a prominent figure and a great man?
Speaking of which, Zhao Guanshan is really not worth mentioning compared to him.

Ding Wanjin even felt a little bored. It was too unchallenging. He could tell with his eyes closed what means Zhao Guanshan would use to cause trouble.

"You are such a boring villain, you are disturbing my mind! You should be killed!"

-

At this moment, Zhao Guanshan returned to the rail carriage. After saying hello to Wang Chen and the others, he returned to the third carriage. Resisting the fatigue that was surging like a tide, he sat cross-legged on the ground, took out the imperial oil lamp, reflected his consciousness in it, and directly added some points to the soul fire.

In the blink of an eye, the soul fire expanded and became the size of a pigeon egg.

However, Zhao Guanshan had no time to examine it carefully. He had not rested for five days and five nights, and now he could not hold on any longer. He felt tired and fell into a deep sleep.

I slept for a whole night.

When he woke up the next morning, he seemed to be full of vitality and energy.

"Hey, don't be impatient, old man. The battle has just begun."

Zhao Guanshan smiled slightly, and first calmly condensed a first-level forgotten rune, and contained it in the imperial oil lamp. Then he took out the spiritual offerings that he had dismantled last night one by one.

First remove the external supporting parts to expose the jade inside.

This jade is the most core and valuable thing.

This is also the most essential part of Zhao Guanshan's entire plan. At this time, he first identified these jades one by one, but the result made him sneer endlessly. Ding Wanjin, this old bitch, is indeed cunning and treacherous.

There were a total of forty-one spiritual weapons, and among the forty-one dismantled spiritual arrays, twelve pieces of jade inside were damaged, twenty-two pieces had cracks, and three pieces were completely broken into several pieces.

Only four pieces are actually intact.

But these four pieces of jade are deeply polluted and corroded, with evil spirits rising from them. If you don’t know, you’d think there’s an evil demon hiding inside.

"Hehe, awesome! It really is like a killer move!"

Zhao Guanshan sneered a few times. No matter how cunning Ding Wanjin was, he could never have imagined that he could really squeeze out the best out of this pile of junk!
Because he is a half-baked Qi Refiner.

Because he has mastered the third-level dispel rune.

The conspiracy that Ding Wanjin set up for him was an unsolvable one.

But little did he know that from the very beginning, Zhao Guanshan was aiming for his conspiracy.

What I am trying to steal is your open conspiracy!
If you are more skilled, you can be so willful.

At that moment, Zhao Guanshan first took out a piece of jade that was severely contaminated by demonic energy, placed it in his hands, clasped his hands together, and his mind moved slightly.

The next moment, the third-order dispelling rune he condensed appeared in his hands. He did not try to do anything actively, but just let the third-order dispelling rune cover the jade.

With the naked eye, one can see the black gas being evaporated, dispersed, and purified from the jade.

In less than nine seconds, the jade regained its soft white light, which is the standard color of Gui-grade jade.

But Zhao Guanshan's third-level dispelling rune had no consumption at all.

A complete crush!
At this moment, Zhao Guanshan felt relieved.

This is his trump card, and the reason why he is willing to lie low and mingle among a bunch of martial artists and their apprentices.

He didn't want to die young, nor did he want to be center stage.

How nice it would be to slowly accumulate strength.

At this moment, he continued to use the third-level dispelling rune to cover the Gui-level jade. He could clearly sense that the power of the dispelling rune was still irradiating the jade and slowly improving its quality. This was also the magical effect that only the third-level dispelling rune could have.
After about another minute, the consumption of the third-level dispel rune finally dropped by about ten percent, but the jade stone turned from soft white to light blue, like a calm and pure lake, very dreamy.

"Blue! It's Ren level!"

Zhao Guanshan was slightly excited. At this moment, he made the right bet and his judgment was in line with his expectations. He seemed to have seen a bright road!
This is the method that the Qigong practitioner Sun Liancheng used to infuse spirits into Liu Yuwei's two weapons.

So there is nothing to say. I want the Xin level. It just so happens that Ding Wanjin's operating table can be engraved with the Xin level spirit supply array. It would be too unfair to him if I don't take advantage of such a good opportunity.

About three minutes later, when the energy in the third-level dispelling rune was consumed by 40%, a faint green light finally emanated.

This is Xin-grade, a standard Xin-grade jade, the kind of core-grade jade that can be engraved into a Xin-grade spiritual offering array.

Zhao Guanshan finally laughed heartily.

He stared at the jade that was emitting a soft green light. It was truly extremely beautiful and magical.

It is not the kind of green that is like a stagnant pool of water. Instead, it seems to be alive. The green light inside is constantly flowing and changing, but it is not a random change. Instead, it has a rhythm, as if it is keeping in sync with the heaven and earth, maintaining a resonant change.

Even an ordinary person can see the magic of this thing.

Wearing a piece of green jade like this can extend the life of any earthling by at least 50 years in an environment like Earth.

Even in an environment like this world, it can allow the wearer to be immune to at least three attacks from low-level demons.

This is a Xin-grade jade that will never circulate on the market.

People who are not of sufficient level are not authorized to use it.

Qi Huanzhang was a martial artist with two seals, and it took him more than ten years of accumulation before he could exchange for a Xin-level spirit-supplying array to replace his broadsword.

At this time, Zhao Guanshan rested for a while, then took out twenty portions of inferior marrow cleansing spirit liquid and swallowed them one by one. At the same time, he circulated the vital energy in his body to replenish the third-level dispelling rune.

When the vitality transformed from these twenty portions of inferior marrow cleansing spirit liquid was completely consumed, the energy in the third-order dispelling rune was restored to its original state.

That's right, only twenty copies are needed.

On the other hand, the market price of a bottle of such inferior marrow cleansing liquid is only 50 coins, and the production cost is even lower.

Even if the market price is used as the standard, a piece of Xin-grade jade made by Zhao Guanshan would only cost ten large coins.
