Fire Monster

Chapter 158: Breakthrough Elixir
"Report! The Level 3 Imperial Seal Chariot that requested the Demon Heart Test is in place. Our chariot has already set up the psychic heavy crossbow and is ready for testing!"

Deng Jiu, who was on duty, reported loudly.

Nowadays, they are different from the past. Even the process of detecting the evil heart has become more realistic.

"It's my Junior Sister Qingyun again. She's here to take care of our business again."

Xiao Chengyun smiled slightly, and Zhao Guanshan stepped forward with the imperial oil lamp. After activating it, it shone slowly, cleaning the accumulated demon blood stains and various messy pollution sources on the chariot.

Judging from the various scratches, bites and gouge marks on it, the intensity of the war on the front battlefield is still very high, and this is before the intensity of the war is escalated. If a tenth-level evil demon is released into the front battlefield, I wonder if the Demon Suppression Division can stop it?
But to be honest, have the four psychic heavy crossbows on this third-level Imperial Seal chariot been strengthened further?
Zhao Guanshan cleaned it thoroughly, even leaving out dead corners like under the car.

The main thing is service quality.

After cleaning, Zhao Guanshan knocked on the car door, quickly stepped back, put away the oil lamp, and held the hilt of the sword with his right hand. The next moment, the car door opened and the person inside walked out swaggeringly, still in a relaxed state.

The last time we met was a month ago, but all the members of their team are still there. I have to say, they are very strong.

Junior Sister Qingyun usually walked last. Even though she had just returned from the battlefield, she looked ethereal, spotless, and had an extraordinary temperament. In contrast, Xiao Chengyun was almost dark and thin, with messy hair and tattered clothes.

So much so that after completing the test, Dongfang Qingyun immediately shouted.

"Senior sister, I thought you had left here. I came back twice in the past month, but I couldn't see you. What happened? Were you kidnapped? Did someone force you? If this is not your own will, just blink!"

"Junior Sister Qingyun, don't be nervous, I'm fine! I'm just busy lately."

Xiao Chengyun didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and hurried to explain.

She also knew that her current state was extremely shocking. Although she had been so tired over the past period of time that she wanted to curse countless times, this feeling was completely different.

Because you are doing things for yourself!
Not to mention Liu Yuwei, Zhao Guanshan is very happy with his temper, not to mention her dream of forming a team of Five Elements Qi Refiners. Zhao Guanshan directly stated that the city would be divided into three parts, with three imperially-sealed chariots, one for each person. Isn't this more exciting than fighting on the front line?

What will be the end result of being a Qigong Master and a military supervisor on the front line?
And here, at least one third of the city is nominally hers.

At this time, Junior Sister Qingyun hesitated for a moment, and suddenly said, "Senior Sister Chengyun, why don't you come to my place? Captain Jiang's team will be expanded soon. By then, there will be two level three imperial seal chariots in action at the same time, and the combat power will be even stronger. They also need another military supervisor. In terms of merit, I will definitely not treat you badly. I have joined Captain Jiang's team for only more than a month, and I have already earned 6500 merit points."

"Look, I now have three attack items, two defense items, and two dispel items, a total of seven B-level seal magic tools. Isn't that powerful?"

She definitely meant well, but speaking like that really did sound like she was showing off.

Xiao Chengyun didn't say anything, but just looked at her quietly, this second-level Qi Refiner who was only a few months younger than her.

She really wanted to say that at her peak, she had four Grade B sealed magical instruments in her hands, but if no one cooperated, an eighth-level demon might have its potential exhausted.

And the real point is that the innate pure yang energy possessed by a second-level Qi Refiner is actually not enough to activate seven B-level sealed magic tools one after another in a short period of time.

The best way is to activate two items every half hour, no more than three, and then you must rest and meditate for a while.

So what about seven?

She would never team up with a stranger again in her life.

But Xiao Chengyun couldn't persuade Dongfang Qingyun.

"Everyone has their own aspirations. Junior Sister Qingyun, there is no need to persuade me. You think it would be good for me to stay in the second line and do the magic heart test."

"But Senior Sister, have you heard recently that this war may become a regular thing?"

"I know."

"Then do you also know that in order to normalize this war, the Dao Palace will also provide 90-grade realm-breaking elixirs to all Qi Refiners. You only need 5000 merit points or 5000 Dao Palace contribution points to exchange for one?"

“Breakthrough elixir!”

Xiao Chengyun was finally slightly moved. For a moment, she was really moved, but then she smiled and shook her head, "Junior sister, I appreciate your kindness, but I really just want to rest in the back for a while."

"Well then, take care of yourself, Senior Sister."

"Take care, Junior Sister!"

The two of them said goodbye to each other, and on the other side, Captain Jiang was personally inspecting the Imperial Seal Chariot and was full of praise. He felt that it was a good deal.

After all, every time I return to the Imperial Seal Great Wall, I have to have the master craftsmen in the factory check it and replace various parts, which costs me four or five hundred merit points.

But a month ago, after he had his magic heart checked and his chariot maintained here, those master craftsmen from the Dog Moon only gave him less than 300 points of merit after he returned.

What does this prove? It proves that the senior sister of the military inspector is actually a real master who is hiding her true abilities!
Anyway, Captain Jiang saw it all and understood it in his heart. Only their military supervisor was a little confused.

How can such a master be easily hired?

They must have higher aspirations. Anyway, in Captain Jiang's opinion, if he were to do this, it would be too easy. Every time he had a break, he would come here for a walk. It would be different wherever he went. First, get familiar with the faces, then get close to them, give them gifts, give them more tips, and build relationships with the people here. In short, once the groundwork is in place, he can invite them. The effect will definitely be better than this.

But he couldn't say such things.

"General Xiao, I, Jiang Zhenghe, am impressed by your ability. I have a total of 80 merit points. Do you think I should give you the merit points directly or exchange them for supplies?"

At this time, Captain Jiang walked forward with a smile on his face. He kept a distance but not too humble. His attitude was just right.

"Exchange supplies!"

For some reason, Xiao Chengyun changed his mind.

"Alright! Come on, brothers, take out all the stock you have. Don't pass off inferior goods as good ones. Supervisor Xiao may not mind, but we have to behave like decent people!"

As soon as Captain Jiang gave a call, everyone over there took out a bunch of hard currency, which were either demon-sealing potions or marrow-cleansing spiritual fluids, or complete psychic weapons and rune spikes. These were clearly the supplies that Xiao Chengyun had emphasized on request last time.

There are so many things to do, and it is impossible to get them without a hundred points of merit.

"Captain Jiang is really thoughtful."

"No, no, we actually made a profit. General Xiao, please stay. And Brother Zhao, and all the brothers, please take care of yourselves!"

Captain Jiang played the entire game with a smile on his face, then got in the car and left.

"This old fellow has bad intentions! He is a man of virtue."

Zhao Guanshan commented.

Xiao Chengyun glanced at him and asked, "Why, are you still worried that I will be lured over by him?"

"That's not the case. I trust Junior Sister's knowledge, but didn't we agree to accumulate merits? Why did you suddenly change the supplies?"

"Because I'm suddenly a little less optimistic about the future."

"You mean, the Dao Palace suddenly opened up the exchange of realm-breaking elixirs this time?"

"Yes, Senior Brother, you reacted very quickly! If the Dao Palace did not think that starting a war on a regular basis would be very risky and difficult, they would not have released the Broken Mirror Spirit Pill. In addition, there is another possibility that too many Qi Refiners died in this war."

At this point, Xiao Chengyun couldn't help but let out a long sigh. It was impossible for her to go to the front line as Dongfang Qingyun invited her. What she was really worried about was that one day the Taoist Palace would issue an order that all the military supervisors and Qi-refining practitioners must serve at the front line. That would be miserable.

Zhao Guanshan knew her thoughts and concerns at once, and immediately said with a smile:
"Don't worry, if there comes a day like that, my brothers and I will drive a tank to the front with you."

"Brother, do you know what I'm thinking?"

Xiao Chengyun was slightly surprised, but at the same time, he couldn't help but feel a little warm in his heart. Thinking of Liu Yuwei's evaluation of him, this Mr. Zhao was a very good person...

Zhao Guanshan laughed and skipped the topic. "Junior sister, do you think we can continue to upgrade the Level 2 Spiritual Supply Tower? With a Level 2 Spiritual Supply Tower, we can just put two teams in the city and not be afraid of being attacked by Level 8 evil demons."

"Of course, I know very little about this. You are a serious Qi Refiner. Please give me some guidance."

Xiao Chengyun rolled his eyes at Zhao Guanshan and said, "Brother, what is a serious Qigong practitioner? If I am a serious one, then you are not a serious one, brother?"

"Forehead--"

Zhao Guanshan was speechless, he really failed.

"But you asked the wrong person. A Level 2 Qi Refiner doesn't know everything. I also know nothing about Level 2 Spiritual Supply Towers. I only know that they cost more. But your idea is good, brother. We can go ask Hu Baimu. The governor has the most say in this matter."

The two men acted decisively and immediately found Hu Baimu, who had transformed into a teacher, and told him the plan in general terms.

"Level 2 Spiritual Supply Tower? Are you two kidding me?"

When Hu Baimu heard this, his eyebrows jumped with shock.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible! I know how to build a second-level spirit supply tower, and I even participated in its construction when I was the Chief Secretary. However, it is really not enough to master the relevant technology, because the second-level spirit supply tower requires a more complex and more powerful spiritual energy circuit, which requires a higher-level spirit supply array."

"For example, a first-level Spirit Supply Tower only needs eight Xin-level Spirit Supply Arrays to form the most original spiritual energy circuit, but a second-level Spirit Supply Tower is not as simple as doubling the number. It is a leap in level, like a leap across an era."

"To be specific, it requires sixteen G-level spiritual supply arrays, and a large amount of specially made high- and low-level materials are also required."

"Some of these high-level materials are even specially used to make B-grade imperial seal instruments. We have calculated that the most core high-level materials needed for a second-level spiritual supply array can be used to make 100 B-grade imperial seal instruments."

"And do you know what the value of a Grade B Imperial Seal Instrument is? One is worth a thousand merit points."

"So don't bother with it. It's simply unrealistic. You have to know that the Chief Secretary has only three Level 2 Spirit Supply Towers so far. Only the Demon Suppression Department, which is rich and powerful, can build ten Level 2 Spirit Supply Towers at once to supply the factories directly under it."
