Fire Monster

Chapter 142: Junior Sister is Poor (Additional chapter 2005 for book friend Xueshan Yuanfeng 33)

"Brother, why do you think this is happening?"

Xiao Chengyun still couldn't figure it out. She felt like she was going crazy. She had been selected for the Taoist school at the age of twelve and had studied there for five and a half years, but she had never seen a situation like this.

Compared with Liu Yuwei, all the Qi-refining practitioners in Dao Ke, including herself, became garbage.

But it was precisely because of this that she began to doubt what she had always insisted on. Was there something wrong with the selection system of the Taoist Academy? Were there many geniuses like Liu Yuwei who were wrongly eliminated?
"No reason, it's just a matter of accumulation. She only seems to be progressing rapidly at the beginning stage. After this stage, her growth potential will not be as good as yours."

Zhao Guanshan explained that this was normal because Xiao Chengyun might have another chance to be promoted to a five-star hero in the future, but Liu Yuwei couldn't do it.

"Ah? Senior Brother, I always feel like there's something else behind your words."

Xiao Chengyun stared at Zhao Guanshan.

"You think too much. Your injuries haven't healed yet. I suggest you go back to your room and rest."

Zhao Guanshan returned to the assembly area, and while talking, he assembled the four-shot parallel matrix he had made by hand. He was very busy, while Sun Zei, Wang Chen and others beside him were silent as a cicada, not even daring to laugh. There was nothing they could do. Although young Master Zhao was also a Qi Refiner, how could he compare with this military supervisor?

"Okay, guys, come over and give me a hand."

Zhao Guanshan called out and pressed a button on the four-parallel matrix the size of a computer case. A fourth-order dispelling rune floated above it. The moment Sun Zei and the others joined forces to put the heavy outer shell on, Zhao Guanshan took it back.

At this point, a vacuum and magic-free environment was formed.

"Is this to create a sealed space with zero tolerance for demonic energy?"

Xiao Chengyun suddenly asked after seeing this from the side.

"Huh? You understand it too." Zhao Guanshan was very surprised.

"Brother, don't look down on me. I know a lot. The courses of the liberal arts and martial arts of the Taoist Academy are the small dishes that we must master. Moreover, I can also rub the Xin-level spiritual supply array by hand. This is nothing great. If you have the ability, you can rub the Yi-level imperial seal magic weapon by hand!"

Xiao Chengyun rolled his eyes at Zhao Guanshan, thinking that this petty-minded senior brother only knew how to gloat over other people's misfortunes!
"A second-grade sealed magical weapon? What a joke! One piece can be exchanged for a third-grade sealed chariot." Zhao Guanshan said casually.

"Unfortunately, it is not possible. The exchange price given by the Demon Suppression Bureau for a level 3 Imperial Seal Chariot is 30,000 Merit Points, but if you want to exchange it for a level 2 Imperial Seal Magical Instrument at the Dao Palace, you only need 1,000 Merit Points. Of course, only registered Qi Refiners are eligible to exchange it."

"Wow!"

Zhao Guanshan exclaimed in admiration and continued to be busy. It was useless to think too much about things that were too far away from him.

Xiao Chengyun didn't say anything else. He sat down on the stairs, holding his chin with his hand, his mind wandering, no one knew what he was thinking about.

Zhao Guanshan originally wanted to persuade her to go back to her room to practice and recuperate, but he found that the girl's complexion was visibly getting better. It turned out that the nanny was online, so awesome.

"Doesn't this mean that the three of us actually share the same BUFF? As long as Xiao Chengyun and I get injured, the pure yang energy accumulated and transformed by Liu Yuwei will automatically flow over."

For a moment, Zhao Guanshan wanted to try to get injured once.

"Brother Zhao, what should we do with this door? How about we take a sledgehammer and try to see if we can break it back?"

Sun Zei then pointed at the chariot door that had been twisted and deformed by the collision.

This thing is extremely heavy, two meters high, three meters wide, fifty centimeters thick, and it is one-piece molded. An ordinary operating table cannot handle this thing at all.

Before Zhao Guanshan could say anything, Xiao Chengyun burst out laughing.

"Brother, you guys are quite funny. You hit them with hammers. Haha! You're making me laugh to death. Why don't I help you?"

"Are you going to use a hammer to smash it too?" Zhao Guanshan asked curiously.

"Brother, you underestimate me. I am a Level 2 Qi Refiner. Just wait for my heart to be pierced!"

Xiao Chengyun made a heart-piercing gesture viciously, then stepped forward.

I saw the ten fingers of her hands changing, light and graceful like the wind, subtle and amazing, and naturally, wisps of light golden light formed, and finally turned into a light golden glow, which, under her guidance, sank into the twisted car door.

The next second, the entire huge and heavy car door was covered by this light golden light, and then was slowly pulled and controlled by Xiao Chengyun.

A magical scene then happened. The originally twisted, heavy gold and iron door was slowly smoothed out, and even some minor flaws were repaired.

Three seconds later, the golden glow dissipated, Xiao Chengyun exhaled slightly, without changing his expression, looking at Zhao Guanshan provocatively. This was the advantage of the Qianjin Taoist Talisman. Just like the Qingmu Taoist Talisman was suitable for being a wet nurse, the Qianjin Taoist Talisman was very suitable for controlling gold and iron.

Zhao Guanshan could only cooperate by covering his chest. It hurts his heart. It must hurt his heart.

"The military supervisor is mighty and domineering!"

Sun Ze also carefully flattered him at the right time.

"Okay, install it. Just this one move of yours is worth at least 100 points of merit!"

Zhao Guanshan was generous with his praise, even though he knew that Xiao Chengyun only looked like a child and that he couldn't be aimless.

Soon, the second Imperially Sealed chariot was started successfully. Wang Chen, Yu Che and others who had been waiting on the side immediately led a team of 40 veterans out of the camp and joined the Imperially Sealed chariot driven by Deng Jiu, Zhang Qian and others.

Their mission today is to destroy all the Demon Mother's lairs. Even without Liu Yuwei leading the team, these two sealed chariots are enough.

"Actually, you don't have to do that. The innate pure yang energy that is consumed is not easy to replenish." At this time, after everyone had left, Zhao Guanshan said calmly that although Xiao Chengyun's move just now seemed to be a piece of cake, it actually consumed at least 80% of the innate pure yang energy in her body.

This is not so easy to pretend.

But Xiao Chengyun was also very calm.

"Brother, you don't know that all my magic talismans and seals were destroyed in the previous battle to save that bastard Su Hai. In particular, I lost a level 3 seal chariot. Then there was this mess. Even if the Demon Suppression Division doesn't pursue me and investigate this matter, they won't give me any merits."

"So guess what, I'm broke now."

"If I choose to go back to Linjiang Prefecture, then as long as the war continues, I, as a Qi Refiner, will have to continue to fight on the battlefield. And I can't go to the battlefield empty-handed, so I have to go to the Dao Palace to buy on credit. If I'm lucky, I can gain more than a thousand merit points in one battle. If I'm unlucky, I'll lose money, or even my life."

"Brother, do you know that since the war began, fifty-two of my brothers and sisters have died in the battle. We are not as glorious as we imagine, especially for little Qi cultivators like us who are less than level three. We have no foundation and no connections. After a fierce battle, our family assets are all wiped out."

Xiao Chengyun let out a long sigh, it’s so difficult!

"So, Senior Brother, why do you think I should stay here with you, and why did I just pretend to help? Because from now on, I will be a martial artist just like you. When the time comes, the chariot will be stronger, and I will be safer!"

"What do you think, Senior Brother? My plan is not bad, right?"

"Not bad, not bad at all! It just sounds a bit panicky, haha!"

Zhao Guanshan burst into laughter. He had never expected that a serious Qi-refining practitioner would complain.

"Do you know how many Qi Refiners are registered in the Dao Palace?"

"Why ask this question?"

Xiao Chengyun was a little surprised. She always had a strange feeling that Zhao Guanshan's ideas did not seem like those of a normal person. They were always a bit unrealistic and he liked to meddle in things that he had no right to care about.

"I'm curious. If there are many Qi-refining masters in the Dao Palace, I will feel more at ease when I sleep. After all, if the sky collapses, there will be tall people to hold it up, right?"

"What a reason!"

Xiao Chengyun muttered, and then said: "I am just a small second-level Qi Refiner, so I can only know the number below the third level."

"There aren't that many first-level Qi Refiners. There are about 20 to 30 every year. The total number is around 300 because some will be promoted soon."

"Level 2 Qi Refiners have the largest number, ranging from about 800 to 1,000, with some fluctuations."

"There are about 500 third-level Qi Refiners."

"As for the fourth-level Qi Refiners, there are probably about 200 to 300 of them."

"I don't know about the fifth-level Qi Refiner, let alone the sixth, seventh, and the highest ninth level."

"In short, you just need to know that the Taoist Academy directly manages all Qi Refiners at level three and below."

"Only Level 4 Qi Refiners and above will be directly governed by the Dao Palace."

"This has also led to the suffering of us little Qi Refiners. Sigh, it's hard to describe it in a few words!"

Hearing this, Zhao Guanshan asked again: "So, based on your experience, will what is happening here alarm the Dao Palace?"

"Alarm the Dao Palace? Haha! Brother, you wishful thinking, it won't happen. The Dao Palace is only responsible for evil demons above the tenth level. You know the boss of the Dao Academy, that old man, he is only a fifth-level Qi Refiner, and as your sister, I am a second-level Qi Refiner, so far, I have not had any direct interaction with a fifth-level Qi Refiner."

After hearing this explanation, Zhao Guanshan couldn't help but understand Xiao Chengyun a little.

After thinking for a while, he asked again: "Is the creation of a Grade B Imperial Seal Artifact essentially no different from the creation of a psychic weapon?"

Xiao Chengyun nodded, "Yes, that's what the textbook says anyway. Psychic weapons are actually greatly weakened Imperial Sealed Artifacts, and Imperial Sealed Artifacts are greatly strengthened psychic weapons."

"It's just that the two are divided into ten levels: Jia, Yi, Bing, Ding, Wu, Ji, Geng, Xin, Ren, and Gui."

"Also, don't test me. No matter the chief craftsman of the Demon Suppression Department or the chief craftsman of the Provincial Administration Department, they can't make the four levels of A, B, C, and D."

"Okay, stop asking questions and get to work. You have so many damaged weapons here. I'll help you repair them, but you have to give me ten for free."

"No way, are you serious?"

"Otherwise, I've already said, Junior Sister, I'm very poor, Senior Brother, please bear with me."

After saying that, Xiao Chengyun really started to repair it skillfully. Zhao Guanshan watched from the side for a while and couldn't find any fault. This guy's repair skills were not worse than his, maybe even better.

"How's it going, Senior Brother? You're hurt again, aren't you? To tell you the truth, when we were in the Taoist Academy, we were the ones who helped clean up the psychic weapons that you liberal arts students couldn't repair sometimes."

"what?"

Xiao Chengyun suddenly cried out in surprise and pulled out a heavy shield full of cracks from a pile of broken psychic weapons.

And her expression suddenly became strange.

"This is Wei Tieniu's psychic shield. I won't make a mistake. Brother, his residual soul is still on it. He may have some last words to say to you. Do you want to hear them?"
