Fire Monster

Chapter 183 Sixth Level Dispel
Half an hour later, the five imperially-sealed chariots returned to the Second Pioneer City one after another. Xiao Chengyun came over to say just a few words before hurriedly returning to practice and improve his condition.

In the previous battle, she first condensed a second-level mark, and then instantly released three second-level gold fragments in succession. It was powerful, but the loss was also great. If she didn't replenish it, she wouldn't be able to hold on. Otherwise, in another two hours, there would be another wave of releases. How could she hold on then?

Zhao Guanshan, on the other hand, acted as if nothing had happened. He took over the responsibility of presiding over the overall situation. He first illuminated each tank in turn with a light for a major maintenance.

Afterwards, the chariots drove away, and the second-in-command Jia Xian and the deputy-in-command Hu Baimu led people to completely dismantle the five chariots. Some of the worn parts could not be repaired even by Zhao Guanshan's lantern, so they needed to be replaced.

This was also what Zhao Guanshan requested. They only had these five modified imperial chariots. Other pioneering cities could do whatever they wanted with them, even stand up and pedal, but they couldn't. They had to cherish and protect them.

In fact, there are quite a lot of vulnerable parts inside the tank. After all, it is a war machine that can speed up to nearly 400 to 500 kilometers per hour. Who would be fooled by saying that there is no wear and tear?
But just after dismantling one chariot, Jia Xian ran over and said seriously:
"Brother Zhao, your idea is absolutely correct. Fortunately, you requested to dismantle the entire vehicle. In the chariot I just dismantled, there are more than 50 parts with severe wear and tear. If it goes to the battlefield like this, it is very likely to malfunction. However, I think this is not a solution, so I want to come and ask you if you can give priority to using the plan for upgrading the first-level spirit supply tower on the chariot?"

"So, what you mean, Senior, is psychic shock?"

Zhao Guanshan's eyes lit up.

"That's right. I just talked to Master Hu about this, and he agrees. There is no distinction between core and non-core components in the Imperial Seal Chariot. Except for low-level materials, all high-level materials must be guaranteed to be above level 90. That way, the wear resistance will be better."

"For example, the non-core parts used in this tank are only about level 70 on average, which is not durable at all."

Hearing this, Zhao Guanshan nodded repeatedly, fully affirming Jia Xian's idea. After all, in this regard, Jia Xian is the real boss.

However, Jia Xian immediately showed an embarrassment, "Actually, I just talked to the city lord, because the spiritual energy impact will consume a lot of spiritual energy. For example, if we need to modify the high-level materials of the five chariots, it will consume the energy of the first level spiritual array to operate for half a month when it reaches level 80."

"It may take one and a half months of energy to reach level 90. The city lord may have some concerns."

"Don't worry. I'll give you six months of energy. You can charge as much as you want. However, the technical issues regarding the psychic energy impact have been solved, right?"

Zhao Guanshan made the decision directly and boldly. Jia Xian was dumbfounded at this moment. I came here to ask you to help persuade the city lord, why did you make the decision directly? Don’t you need to persuade?

Is it so easy to convince the city lord?
Or, has the city lord been convinced by you?
For a moment, even though Jia Xian was not the kind of person who liked to gossip about other people's private affairs, there was only admiration in his eyes, and he was just short of shouting out words like "role model of our generation", "you're awesome, brother", and "you're a very talented person".

"Senior?"

"Ah, yes, yes, there is absolutely no problem with the technology. I can guarantee that. In fact, the most difficult part is psychic power. It's great that you can solve it. I just hope that it won't put some pressure on our city's energy reserves." Jia Xian said quickly.

"No, there is no problem with energy reserves. However, apart from using this batch of high-level materials to modify the tanks, it is best to keep some to create psychic weapons."

"Don't worry, junior brother. The high-level materials produced by the spiritual energy impact are very precious. If I want to use them, I must first obtain the consent of the city lord, and your consent."

Zhao Guanshan laughed and didn't hesitate. He immediately found Liu Yuwei and Sun Zei. Under their witness, he handed over the secret key to control the first-level spirit supply array and gave the pressure value of the psychic vortex. With these two, Jia Xian was qualified to mobilize the psychic vortex for psychic impact.

Of course, the existing rules cannot be abolished.

From now on, every time psychic shock is used, one of Sun Zei, Liu Yuwei, or Zhao Guanshan must be present, and a small team must be on guard nearby.

After all, this level of spirit-supporting tower involves the safety of the entire city, and it is no joke.

It would be great if we could independently build a first-class spirit supply tower in the future, specifically for industrial use.

After resolving this matter, Zhao Guanshan personally went to conduct a wave of demon heart tests on Wang Chen, Zhang Dayong and others. This was also a necessary step, because they were dragged into the illusion by the evil spirit, and there might be some sequelae. However, after being irradiated with the fifth-level dispelling rune, this problem would not exist.

At this point, Zhao Guanshan returned to the room, took out a magic pill, fused it with the imperial seal oil lamp, and then poured this abundant energy into the stone platform in the statue space.

Then, without hesitation, he first lit up the second-level explosion rune, and then the sixth-level dispel rune.

The former used the energy of one stone platform, and the latter used two stone platforms, which was just right.

Only then did he take out the second magic pill, and after fusing them, he stored the energy into the three stone platforms.

But he did not use it to practice, because Xiao Chengyun was practicing martial arts, and Liu Yuwei alone outside could not take charge of the situation. In at most three hours, the fourth round of delivery would begin.

Such a short period of time was not enough for him to upgrade the fifth-level dispel rune into a sixth-level dispel rune.

Yes, that's right.

After lighting up the sixth-level dispelling rune, Zhao Guanshan knew that he was too radical. Under normal circumstances, a fifth-level dispelling rune would require a fourth-level Qi Refiner to master.

Then the sixth-level dispelling rune is very real and requires a fifth-level Qi Refiner to master it.

This is certainly his greatest advantage, but it is also his greatest disadvantage. A very simple point is that to condense a sixth-order dispelling rune, one needs the energy driven by at least six innate pure yang energies to condense it. It can be said that this is definitely a realm where quantitative accumulation leads to qualitative change.

To what extent is it exaggerated?

He now has a fifth-level dispelling rune in his sealed oil lamp. If he wants to condense it into a sixth-level dispelling rune, he will have to take at least 300 portions of level 90 marrow cleansing liquid in one breath.

Otherwise, all the energy in the three stone platforms must be used up in one go.

Then, you have to prepare for at least three days and three nights of chanting.

Moreover, success is not certain!
"If I had a teacher or guide, they would definitely not let me do this. It's like clicking on the wrong technology tree."

Zhao Guanshan smiled bitterly, fortunately the problem was not serious.

After thinking it over carefully, he decided to put aside the plan of lighting up the sixth-level dispelling rune for the time being and first add a fifth-level dispelling rune. After Xiao Chengyun finished practicing, he would first cultivate the third breath of innate pure yang energy and advance to the first-level Qi Refiner.

He has fallen far behind in terms of overall cultivation.

It even reached the point where it hindered the supernatural power.

However, Zhao Guanshan didn't know that at this moment, there was already a big quarrel within the Zhang family of the Demon Suppression Bureau.

Because the head of the Zhang family and the elders saw two very clear, even all-round images, which came from the identity jade talisman in Xiao Chengyun's hand.

This is a function developed by the Taoist Palace based on the collection and verification of military merits.

So, the top leaders of the Zhang family saw how Xiao Chengyun killed the eighth-level evil demon twice.

In addition, they also saw that the Second Pioneer City actually had five first-level imperial seal chariots and no less than one hundred single-seal warriors.

"Chief Secretary, you are making fun of us as if we were fools."

An elder from the Zhang family spoke slowly with a cold expression.

"That's right. They actually concealed the secret that Xiao Chengyun is a third-level Qi Refiner, and they also concealed the fact that there are at least one hundred Single Seal Taoists in the Second Pioneer City. Plus five first-level Imperial Seal chariots. What are they planning to do? Are they planning a rebellion?"

"They are comparable to half of the elite battalion of the Demon Suppression Division."

"We spent a lot of time and thought about destroying the Second Pioneer City with super-standard release to avenge Nian'er, but now, we let them eat and drink to their heart's content. Damn it, damn it! Do you know how much demonic energy we have released in the past three rounds? A full 90 trillion! Counting the fifteen eighth-level evil demons, the one hundred and fifty seventh-level evil demons, and other low-level evil demons, the total amount of demonic energy is equivalent to 150 trillion!"

“With so much demonic energy, how many demon nests will be cultivated and how much demon spirit liquid will be produced? If the Second Pioneer City can grab one third of the demon spirit liquid, it will be enough for the Second Pioneer City’s first-level spirit supply array to operate for ten years!”

"Ten years! Everyone! Have you ever thought about how long this is? If my Zhang family declines in the future, it will definitely be because of this!"

"So what should we do now? Stop releasing the magic energy into the Second Pioneer City? I'm afraid that by then not only the Governor but even the Taoist Academy will disagree. I just heard that the five Pioneer Cities of the Taoist Academy are not doing well. They all need Zhao Guanshan and Liu Yuwei's Second Pioneer City to help bear the pressure."

"If they really delay their training of new soldiers, my small Zhang family will not be able to withstand their pressure."

Everyone fell silent, and then looked at the man behind the Patriarch of the Zhang family. He was not a member of the Zhang family, but a classmate and friend of the Patriarch of the Zhang family, and now his chief of staff.

After a long while, the staff member said in a deep voice: "For now, we have to do two things at the same time."

“Firstly, one can apply for a suspension of release, which the CMDA and the Chief Secretary would be happy to do and will not interfere.”

"Secondly, Xiao Chengyun is the distant cousin of Xiao Huai'en, the third seal holder of the Provincial Government. Although they are already five generations apart and don't even have much contact, it is possible to recruit Xiao Chengyun through him. I don't believe that the Xiao family will really be willing to give up a third-level Qi Refiner."

"Of course, there is actually a better plan."

"Let's go directly to Zhao Guanshan and Liu Yuwei and tell them that the past is not to be pursued and that the Zhang family is willing to marry off their legitimate daughter. We don't need to waste too many resources and energy on this personal feud. Moreover, there are still many strange things about the death of Young Master Henian. We—"

"Okay, there's no need to mention this plan anymore. Let's suspend the deployment first and try to alienate Xiao Chengyun."

The head of the Zhang family said in a deep voice. He naturally knew that what his aide said was correct, but Zhang Henian was his own son.
