Fire Monster

Chapter 14 Energy Storage Spirit Stone
The Taoist temple has a very high status in the entire Linjiang Prefecture, and its importance is also unquestionable.

It is second only to the Taoist Palace, the Demon Suppression Division and the Provincial Administration Division.

In fact, in Zhao Guanshan's opinion, the Taoist Academy, the Demon Suppression Bureau, and the Provincial Administration Bureau should be at the same level.

Daogong is the supreme leader, this is indisputable, and the top civil, military, and scientific research elites gather here.

Then the Governor's Office was responsible for handling the internal affairs of Linjiang Prefecture and belonged to the civil service system.

The Demon Suppression Division is responsible for handling the internal and external security of Linjiang Prefecture, including the guarding of the Imperial Seal Great Wall, and belongs to the military officer system.

Taoist temples are responsible for training and delivering talents, and are an education system.

It takes ten years to grow a tree and a hundred years to cultivate a person. This is true.

So, don’t think that the liberal arts college looks shabby, in fact the other three colleges are very luxurious and grand.

The warmest and most comfortable one among them is the elementary school courtyard, which is responsible for teaching the first stage students. The environment there is very good, the food is good, the study is easy, and you can even apply for accommodation.

Then there is the Military Science Academy. Although students from the second and third stages are also mixed here, it covers an area of ​​5,000 acres and has hundreds of various large and small imperial classrooms, which are also divided into classes.

Yes, it is analogous to the class divisions in schools on Earth.

There are four levels of classes: A, B, C, and D, similar to fast and slow classes, rocket classes, etc.

Each class has a dedicated teacher, and there are also various public classes and auxiliary facilities, such as a medical clinic, training ground, etc.

The daily food allowance will also be more and richer than that for liberal arts students.

Of course, this is also the place with the largest number of students. Every year, nearly 5,000 martial arts students graduate and then become the main force guarding the Imperial Seal Great Wall and maintaining the internal order of Linjiang Prefecture.

As for the last branch, it is the Taoist Branch, which is not very large, even smaller than the Liberal Arts Branch.

But the problem is that only a dozen people can be selected into the Academy of Taoism every year.

It looks very simple there, but there is an inexplicable mysterious atmosphere that makes people stay away.

Zhao Guanshan now walked into the Wuke Branch, which was the main part of the Taoist academy.

There are five stupas alone.

Among them, there is one fourth-level spirit-offering pagoda, one second-level spirit-offering pagoda, and three first-level spirit-offering pagodas.

The spirit-offering tower and the spirit-offering array are different concepts.

The former is a power plant and the latter is an electricity-consuming terminal.

In other words, the Taoist temple has a self-sufficient supply of spiritual energy.

It is worth mentioning that the Linjiang Prefecture Taoist Palace has a seven-level spirit-offering pagoda and several lower-level spirit-offering pagodas.

Part of the spiritual energy here is used to support and maintain the Imperial Seal Great Wall, and part of it is used by the Taoist Palace itself.

Then, the Demon Suppression Department and the Provincial Government Department each have their own five-level spirit-worshiping tower.

The spiritual energy used by the residents of Linjiang Prefecture on a daily basis, including the Five Spirit Train and the daily operation of various workshops, are all supplied by the Spirit Supply Tower of the Governor's Office.

The three major systems each take care of their own affairs, and the Dao Palace supervises and coordinates from a high level.

Probably so.

Therefore, Zhao Guanshan’s current student status is very precious, because the benefits will really come to him.

For example, if he was charging the energy storage spirit stone outside the Taoist temple, the latest floating price was eleven Taoist coins to fully charge it.

But in the Taoist Palace, only nine Taoist coins are needed.

So it's not just Zhao Guanshan who is taking advantage of the situation, all the students are taking advantage of the situation. The Taoist Academy also knows that it is being taken advantage of, but it has always insisted on offering this discount.

Soon, Zhao Guanshan came to a very tall and magnificent building. Well, it was actually only five stories high, which had reached the upper height limit.

If it is any higher, it will be easily eroded by the devil clouds and bombarded by the devil thunder outside.

In Linjiang Prefecture, the tallest buildings are always the five statues of immortals used to indicate directions.

In short, this is a standard fifth-level imperially-sealed house.

It is also one of the nine major classrooms of the Wuke Branch.

It can accommodate 5,000 people for classes at the same time, and can accommodate 15,000 people for refuge under extreme circumstances.

Therefore, in addition to being used by military students for public classes, it is also a standard shelter.

Whenever the evil spirits invaded in large numbers, all the students in the Taoist Academy would be gathered here. However, if they were unlucky and were not in the Taoist Academy, they would have to rely on themselves. At the same time, there were a full hundred distributed spiritual supply towers here.

It is similar to the charging stations on Earth. Each spirit supply tower can supply spiritual energy to one hundred energy storage spirit stones at the same time. The fastest charging speed is ten seconds, which is faster than refueling.

When Zhao Guanshan walked in, he saw a crowd of people. It was not the time for public classes, and it was close to afternoon, which was the peak time for charging.

That’s right, you charge up in the Taoist temple, and then take it back to sell. As long as the method is safe, you can earn a small amount of money from the Taoist temple.

The Taoist temple’s attitude towards this is to never ask about it.

Zhao Guanshan was also very confused and puzzled. If this happened on Earth, how could you be so arrogant?
But now he understood.

First of all, as one of the three giants under the Taoist Palace, the Taoist Temple can definitely discover large-scale and organized wool-pulling and crack down on it without making any noise.

Secondly, students have fixed school hours. After returning home from school, Linjiang Prefecture will quickly enter night mode, commonly known as curfew. Not only will there be patrol teams from the Demon Suppression Bureau, but there will also be various evil demons that have escaped the net.

Which student living in Skid Row dares to come out and trade at this time?

Where can you find the spare time to help you organize the sales?

Or even if they were wealthy or powerful families living in civilian areas, why would they risk offending the Taoist temple to earn such a small profit?
If you are lucky, you happen to meet a neighbor or friend you are familiar with in private, so you can be a dealer, it doesn’t matter.

You are a poor student, and you want to earn some extra money to support your family, or even like Zhao Guanshan, tinker with a psychic crossbow by yourself. If the Taoist Academy wants to supervise and investigate such things, how could they not know that it is impossible to do it?
But even if we know this, we are willing to leave a loophole. It may benefit many people, but as long as we can save a few students, it is worth it.

In short, he is also a beneficiary and he has no right to say anything.

Following the flow of people and queuing, Zhao Guanshan soon came to a spirit-supporting tower, where there were two ways to charge.

Swipe the waist badge, put in the energy storage spirit stone that has used up all the spiritual energy, and put in the corresponding Taoist coins.

Alternatively, you can swipe your badge, insert the corresponding Taoist coins, and directly take out the fully charged energy storage spirit stone.

The purchase price of each vacant energy storage spirit stone is one Dao Palace small coin, but if you don’t want it anymore, the selling price is also one Dao Palace small coin.

It’s not expensive. The purpose of charging is to prevent this energy storage spirit stone from being discarded or destroyed at will.

In the context of practicing strict economy, this is a big sin!

Zhao Guanshan now only has an empty energy storage spirit stone in his hand, but he also has three Dao Palace coins, which is a considerable fortune.

Considering that he would be taking on a bounty hunting mission tomorrow, in addition to charging up the vacant energy storage spirit stone, he also purchased nine additional charged energy storage spirit stones.

Just ninety-nine Taoist coins are needed.

A big Taoist coin is put in, and a small Taoist coin rolls out.

The whole process takes ten seconds, just pick it up and go.

"Hey, bro, is there a way? Take me with you."

Just as he squeezed out of the queue, a fat boy who was about the same age as Zhao Guanshan, but with a ruddy face and full of energy, suddenly stopped him.

Zhao Guanshan was stunned, subconsciously thinking that he had encountered a honey trap or the Taoist version of campus bullying.

So he immediately put the badge in his left hand, held it high, and quickly moved to the left.

This is the rule of the Taoist temple. Fighting is prohibited in the liberal arts department, while limited fighting is allowed in the martial arts department. But if you don't want to fight, you just need to raise your left hand for more than three seconds, and the photo beads will intervene and record the video, and you will be dealt with accordingly.

Of course, if a student is forcibly stopped immediately after raising his hand, the photo beads will intervene immediately.

In short, the Taoist temple does not tolerate this.

"Don't raise your hands, brother. I mean no harm to you. How about just listening to me for three sentences?"

The little fat boy quickly took a step back to prove his innocence.

"Okay, you go ahead."

Zhao Guanshan slowly put down his left hand. Since it was neither a honey trap nor bullying, it was most likely a profiteer.

"First of all, it's rare to see liberal arts students here, but everyone who comes here should be a perfect scorer, you know what I mean."

"Secondly, I also know that you have your own advantages in the liberal arts field. We, the martial arts field, cannot compare to this. So, brother, the fact that you are so rich now shows that you have found a way out there."

"Third, brother, give me a hand and show me a way. If there is any benefit, I will give you half."

The little fat man said quickly, and he seemed to be a little sincere.
