Fire Monster

Chapter 227 Let’s start again

Three days later, Xiao Chengyun came back.

The first thing she said when she saw Zhao Guanshan was, "Brother, in the next ten years, I will use all my strength to help you cultivate to the fourth level of Qi Refiner."

"I would rather never advance to level five than abandon you!"

Then, looking at the confused Zhao Guanshan, she burst into laughter, "How is it? Are you touched? Do you want to marry me?"

"Come on, you didn't suffer any injustice in the Taoist Palace, did you?" Zhao Guanshan asked casually. As soon as he said this, Xiao Chengyun seemed to suddenly break down. His eyes turned red, and without saying a word, he walked forward and hugged him tightly for a long time.

It seems that I have really been wronged.

Zhao Guanshan sighed in his heart. In fact, he was scared when he thought about it, mainly because he was the one who had to bear everything.

"Brother, I'm fine."

After a long time, Xiao Chengyun deliberately laughed and let go of Zhao Guanshan. Although there were still tears in his eyes, he did not mention the matter again.

"Brother, do you know that I have become a blessing Taoist priest in the Taoist Palace? This is equivalent to a low-level official in the Provincial Government and the Demon Suppression Department. Although it is the lowest-level position in the Taoist Palace, it is actually considered a powerful class. In the next ten years, we don't have to worry about the Provincial Government and the Demon Suppression Department causing trouble. We can finally put aside these chores and practice with all our heart."

Xiao Chengyun chirped like a happy little bird, with an air of finally getting his reward after suffering a lot of hardships.

Zhao Guanshan listened quietly without expressing any opinion, while Xiao Chengyun carefully explained to him the duties of a Taoist priest and some of the peculiarities of the temple. If one didn't know, one would have thought she was going on a trip.

"Brother, do you know what the result of my first prayer was? It was a very good fortune. This proves that the compatibility of my cultivation of Qianjin Dao Fu has exceeded 90%."

"If it's a perfect fortune, why is it only 90%?"

Zhao Guanshan asked curiously.

"Hmph, you are so ungrateful, you little Mr. Zhao! A 90% compatibility is already excellent, don't you understand? In fact, twelve years ago, I was selected into the Taoist Academy's Taoist Department, but my compatibility was only 70%. I was just an ordinary Qi Refiner who did nothing."

"Stop, stop it, you are a little sister Xiao who doesn't know how strong you are. If you continue like this, I will be heartbroken!"

"Hehe, it feels good to be stabbed in the heart, Senior Brother, does it hurt?"

"It hurts!"

"Then I'll blow on you, will it stop hurting?"

Zhao Guanshan: ...

We chatted from noon to night, and then Zhao Guanshan said, "Junior sister, I may need to retreat for a while, so don't delay your practice and don't always think about helping me. You have to be careful not to be caught up by me. Also, if you are really free, help Senior Sister Yuwei. None of the three of us can fall behind. Well, we want to become Five Elements Qi Refiners."

"Then, Senior Brother, I will protect you."

"No need. I can just assemble a Imperial Seal Bunker. It is already under the protection of the Level 2 Spiritual Supply Tower, so there is no danger. The next ten years are crucial, and we cannot waste any time."

"it is good!"

After seeing off Xiao Chengyun, Zhao Guanshan was not idle either. Instead, he found Deng Jiu, Wang Chen, Zhang Qian, Yu Che, Zhang Dayong and others. He did not give them any instructions in person, but just gave each of them a wisp of spiritual energy to improve their physical potential, so that they would have more opportunities to advance to the fourth-seal martial arts priests in the future, if they did not slack off.

Finally, Zhao Guanshan knocked on Yang Mao's door again. As his neighbor and childhood friend, he still needed special care.

But after the door opened, Zhao Guanshan was stunned. The person who opened the door was Liu Erya, whom he had not seen for a long time.

She became more plump, with a kind of feminine beauty, but no longer as domineering as before. She was very virtuous.

After Zhao Guanshan was stunned for a moment, he smiled slightly, and Liu Erya also smiled, but lowered her head, "You are here to look for Yang Mao, right? He hasn't come back yet, why don't you come in and sit down?"

"Er Ya, who is that?"

A tender and gentle voice was heard in the room again, and then a woman with a big belly came out. She was the wife who was given to Yang Mao when Cuihonglou was confiscated.

"Oh, it's Commander Zhao, this is a distinguished guest, Erya, why are you still standing there, Commander Zhao, Erya is a country girl, she doesn't know much, please don't be offended, please come in quickly, you are here to look for Yangmao, it's his turn to patrol today, Erya, why don't you go and call Yangmao."

"No need!" Zhao Guanshan hurriedly called Liu Erya. He was very curious. Didn't Liu Erya get married to avoid military service? Why was she brought back by Yang Mao?
However, it is difficult for a judge to judge family affairs, so he is not in a position to interfere in this matter.

"Sister-in-law, congratulations. Yang Mao and I have been neighbors since we were young. I came here in a hurry, so this is a small token of my appreciation."

Zhao Guanshan said with a smile, then took out a marrow cleansing elixir that Xiao Chengyun had exchanged for him from the Taoist Palace. The woman turned out to be someone who knew the value of things, and after thanking her repeatedly, she swallowed it without saying a word.

Because this is considered to be the best pregnancy-preserving medicine.

"Then I'll be leaving first. Sister-in-law, please stay. Sister Erya, take care of yourself too."

Zhao Guanshan said one more word, nodded, and left.

His words of address made Liu Erya burst into tears.

Yang Mao's wife was startled when she heard this. She blinked her eyes, then immediately understood and put on a smile, "Sister Erya, I didn't expect that you and Commander Zhao are neighbors. Commander Zhao is really a good man. You are also a poor person who has suffered so much. Now you are finally settled. My Yang Mao is also a kind-hearted person and will not treat you unfairly."

-

Zhao Guanshan did not go to find Yang Mao in the end, but he is now a single-seal martial artist, and his training is progressing steadily. As the best among the recruits, he is one of the special caregivers. It is expected that in a few months, he will be able to advance to a double-seal martial artist. This speed is not much slower than that of Liu Yuwei back then.

Next, he assembled a level five imperial seal bunker as his retreat place.

Now, there is only one last thing left.

Zhao Guanshan took out a ninth-order perfect magic pill and used the imperial oil lamp to fuse and extract it, injecting the energy into the three stone platforms in the statue space, but there was still a lot left.

The ninth-level magic pill is almost ten times more powerful than the eighth-level magic pill.

So this is also the best source of energy to light up the rune stars.

At this time, Zhao Guanshan quickly visualized and entered the statue space, first upgrading his long sword and broadsword to level 5. Then, he began to light up the latest branch of the Demon Suppression Network.

That is control.

This is on the same level as Dispel and Explode.

But perhaps because of its special nature, the energy required to light it up is quite a lot, which is roughly equivalent to the initial level 1 of the Dispel Rune.

The initial level of the Explosion Rune is 5, while the initial level of this Control Rune is as high as 15.

Zhao Guanshan used up all the energy in the three stone platforms before he successfully lit them up.

Then, in order to light up the second-level control, Zhao Guanshan filled the stone platform with the energy from the imperial seal oil lamp three times before lighting up the second-level control.

At this point, only half of the energy fused by this ninth-level magic pill has been consumed.

The remaining energy can still be refilled five times.

"Not enough stone platforms will also affect the upper limit of energy storage, so we still need to repair the remaining two stone platforms in the future."

Zhao Guanshan sighed in his heart, and then lit up his own explosive rune to the fourth level, which also required filling the three stone platforms three times to succeed.

By this point, his rune stars were already quite impressive.

They are sixth-level dispel, fifth-level oblivion, and fourth-level misleading.

Fourth-level Explosion - Fifth-level Long Sword Mastery - Fifth-level Broadsword Mastery.

Second-order control.

Next, he began to light up the rune stars for Liu Yuwei.

Since she advanced to the third-level Qi Refiner, the rune stars on the statue have increased from four to five.

Currently, the second-level vitality, second-level spiritual essence, and second-level group purification have been lit up.

After thinking about it, Zhao Guanshan lit up the third-level vitality and the third-level group purification, which are more useful.

In addition to this, he lit up the fourth rune star for Liu Yuwei. The function of this one was an active magical power.

The effect is simple.

Divine power!

The first level of divine power can double one's own strength within thirty seconds.

This is very suitable for Liu Yuwei, especially the psychic bow she uses.

If this is not lit, it will be a loss.

At that moment, Zhao Guanshan did not hesitate. Relying on his abundant energy, he lit up the third level in one breath.

The effect is that one can triple one's strength within five minutes.

terrible!
But what is even more terrifying is Liu Yuwei's fifth rune star.

Woodized!

The effect is that after activation, the target will fall into a short-term lignified state.

This is also very suitable for long-range attacks and is simply the standard for kite flying.

What else is there to say? Light up the third level.

At this point, a powerful nurse-type long-range archer has basically taken shape.

Plenty of healing power, natural strength, long-range bow, wood-turning, incredibly strong.

However, this wave of runes lighting up is enough for Liu Yuwei to comprehend after half a year of seclusion.

At this point, Zhao Guanshan began to light up the rune stars for Xiao Chengyun again.

He had to use up the three ninth-level perfect magic pills. Although he was very confident and felt that there was a high possibility that he would come back, he had to prepare for the worst.

Before leaving, he wanted to upgrade Xiao Chengyun and Liu Yuwei to their strongest levels.

Xiao Chengyun’s current rune stars are very luxurious.

Fifth-level star-shattering, fifth-level Qianjin sword energy, fourth-level mark, fourth-level blood devouring, third-level sword escape, first-level rage.

After studying it for a while, Zhao Guanshan focused on giving Xiao Chengyun the sixth-level Star Shattering, sixth-level Qianjin Sword Qi and second-level Rage.

With these three magical powers in hand, Xiao Chengyun's combat power can even be comparable to the most senior fourth-level Qi Refiner.

Even if she fails to advance to the fifth-level Qi Refiner in the future, it will be enough to protect herself.

"Goodbye, my little sister."

"Goodbye, my senior sister."

After arranging everything, Zhao Guanshan took out the ashes from his backpack and went to explore the spirit world.
