Fire Monster

Chapter 234 Cangwu Dao Palace
Even if he had been prepared, even if he had been heading in the right direction from the beginning, even if Zhao Guanshan claimed that he was very familiar with this desert.

But, as expected, he got lost.

Now, he has been walking in the desert for almost half a month, but he has not seen a single ghost, whether it is a witcher or a nine-headed bird!
It was as if he had been forgotten, and he was the only one left in the world.

Zhao Guanshan had no way to deal with this and still remained somewhat optimistic.

Because now, he is much better than when he first arrived.

Although there is only one green leaf spirit soldier left.

On this day, he was still walking slowly, with a very conspicuous novice cloak on his body.

That’s right, this was evolved from a purple fire spirit weapon, but it was not strengthened.

The reason why we use the purple fire spiritual weapon instead of the golden sword spiritual weapon is the difference between the two.

Although the golden small sword spirit weapon can also evolve into soft materials, it is still a little bit inferior.

Over the past year, his flame soft armor has been his only underwear, and it is so comfortable.

Otherwise, try the golden sword spirit weapon. I'm afraid the cocoons will have to be replaced dozens of times.

The cloak evolved from the Purple Fire Spirit Soldier is of even better quality. It is warm, comfortable, and very beneficial to the recovery of mental power. If we use data to speak, it can provide an additional 10% mental power recovery speed.

No wonder all those witchers wear cloaks, so nice!

Putting on a novice cloak is almost like Zhao Guanshan shouting to the outside world, come and chat with me.

There was no way. He was covered in a suit of ash, which made him extremely invisible. Even if he was walking normally, he would be easily overlooked if seen from a long distance.

So instead of working hard to find other goals, it is better to let others or other goals find you.

This is a really good idea.

He had only been wearing the novice cloak for three days when he was stopped by someone. The key point was that before that, he didn't even notice the other person.

It can be seen that in this desert, concealing one's tracks is almost a necessary skill for every witcher.

"My fellow Taoist, please wait! Please make your intentions clear, otherwise we will enforce coercive measures against you according to the Nine Laws of Crossing the Spirit Realm for Demon Hunters! You can choose to resist, but we will also have the power to kill you on the spot!"

As the voice sounded, several figures stood out a few hundred meters away from Zhao Guanshan. They were all wearing gray and white cloaks, but their inner selves could not be seen clearly.

This is the characteristic of the cloak transformed by the spiritual weapon. Of course, it is also the most basic mark for identifying friend or foe.

Only Qi cultivators have spiritual weapons.

Zhao Guanshan stood where he was and felt relieved. It was not easy. He should have thought of this solution earlier.

And it seems that this team of witchers had discovered him a long time ago, and had been following and observing him all the way, and only showed up at this moment.

"My fellow Taoists, my name is Zhao Chengfeng. I am a Qi cultivator at the Linjiang Prefecture Taoist Palace. Not long ago, I made a mistake and entered the spirit world. May I ask where this is? And how can I return?"

"Linjiang Prefecture Taoist Palace? Is there such a Taoist palace?"

The witcher who was speaking on the other side seemed a little surprised, and then the person next to him answered: "In the Dao Palace Alliance that signed the Witcher Cross-Border Nine Laws, there is no Linjiangfu Dao Palace. However, before the Xiuxian world was destroyed, there seemed to be a place called Linjiangfu. It is probably a small Dao Palace established by the Xiuxian sect there to save itself."

"Send the message back, it should be confirmed soon, but what should we do before that? Take him with us?"

After these words were spoken, the five witchers seemed a little undecided.

They were out to perform a mission, and now the mission has not been completed, but they found this reckless and conspicuous bag. If they take him with them, it would be unsafe, but if they don't take him with them, it would violate the Nine Laws of Witcher Crossover, and helping each other is one of the Nine Laws.

After a long time, the person who spoke first spoke again. He seemed to be the leader of the five-man team.

"Fellow Daoist, to be honest, this place is quite far from our base, and we are carrying out an important mission. At the same time, we cannot abandon you, so we must first ensure your safety. If you are willing to cooperate, then we can take you with us. Otherwise, we can only say that we regret it."

"Okay, I agree and I understand. How can I cooperate?"

Zhao Guanshan did not hesitate. To be pretentious at this time would be courting death.

"It's simple. It's just to verify the resonance between you and the Taoist talisman left by the immortal, and to determine whether the Taoist talisman you are practicing has been contaminated by evil spirits."

"Now, please lift up your cloak and tell me the Taoist talisman you are practicing. I will sprinkle this handful of spiritual ash on your head, and then some changes will occur. During this process, please do not make any movements, otherwise my companions will kill you without hesitation! Can you do it?"

"Okay! I have no problem. I am practicing the Lihuo Daofu!"

After saying that, Zhao Guanshan really lifted up the cloak on his head, revealing a helmet and visor that were equally tightly fitted.

The five people on the opposite side were a little surprised. Finally, the leader smiled and said, "Sorry, fellow Taoist, please take off your helmet."

"Okay!" Zhao Guanshan took off his helmet neatly again. At this moment, he obviously felt that the five people on the opposite side breathed a sigh of relief. Then the witcher slowly stepped forward, while his four companions slowly approached on both sides. Two of them held longbows, one held a gun and shield, and one held a large shield. They looked very alert.

"Fellow Daoist, please quickly visualize the Lihuo Dao Talisman now. Remember, you only need to visualize it for a short while, and never for too long."

Zhao Guanshan did it again.

Almost at the same time, the man also scattered a handful of pitiful ashes over.

A magical scene then appeared. A ray of fire appeared above Zhao Guanshan’s head, and his statue could be vaguely seen in it. Then all the illusions disappeared in the next second.

The man quickly stepped back three steps, then took out a strange piece of jade from his arms. In the jade, a Lihuo Taoist Talisman was reflected.

"Good, good, good! He is a Five Elements Qi Refiner from the Fire Department. Very pure and very orthodox!"

"Now, it's your turn to verify us."

"Verify? Why do we need to verify?" Zhao Guanshan was stunned. In his opinion, there were five people on the opposite side and he was alone. If they really wanted to harm him, they could just ambush and kill them and destroy all traces. Why was there any need to talk so much nonsense?

Since the other party even went to great lengths to confirm his identity, they must be friendly forces.

Hearing this, the five demon hunters on the opposite side all shook their heads. "Fellow Daoist, now I can really confirm that your Linjiang Prefecture Taoist Palace really did not sign the Nine Laws of Cross-Boundary. Verification is mutual. We can't just verify you. You must verify us. This is an act of responsibility to each other. You must know that the spirits and demons in the spirit world are cunning and changeable, and they are full of tricks. If we are really careless, we will be the ones who suffer."

"I understand, but I can't verify it with you." Zhao Guanshan was helpless.

"Daoyou, you don't even have the Dao Jade?"

"What is Daoyu Jade?"

"Okay, now we understand. Okay, we don't need to execute this step for now. Let me introduce myself. The five of us are a team of demon hunters stationed in the spirit world of Cangwu Taoist Palace. I am the team leader Ding Daoren, and these are my companions Yu Huan, Yao Cheng, Yang Jin, and Chu Mo! Next, fellow Taoists, just act with us."

"However, this trip is bound to have some risks. May I ask, fellow Taoist, what level have you cultivated your spiritual body to?"

"what?"

Zhao Guanshan, who had just put on his helmet and lifted up his cloak, was stunned. What level? I don't know.

Ding Daoren and the others looked at each other and thought it was amazing.

At this time, the female demon hunter named Yu Huan suddenly spoke up, "Daoist Zhao Chengfeng, didn't you advance to the fifth-level Qi Refiner not long ago?"

"Uh, you, how do you know?"

What else could Zhao Guanshan say? He could only lie.

"Wait, is this how you manage Qigong practitioners in Linjiang Prefecture? Are the masters of your Taoist Palace all old and confused? No wonder your Linjiang Prefecture Taoist Palace has no reputation in the spirit world. Without rules, there will be no order. How important is the spirit world? When you advanced to the fifth level of Qigong and overcame the minor heavenly tribulation, didn't anyone protect you?"

Yu Huan seemed very angry. In the Cangwu Taoist Palace, these were several unforgivable crimes.

Zhao Guanshan blinked, not knowing what to say!

At this time, Yu Huan was silent for a while, and sighed again:
"It seems that you were indeed teleported into the spirit world randomly. Well, let me briefly explain it to you. Since you have just advanced to the fifth-level Qi Refiner, your spirit body should be the first level. Please note that you are now a spirit body, but you still need to have a Dharma image in the spirit world. Together, it is called a spirit body and a Dharma image."

"If you don't have a Dharma image, but only a spiritual body, you will only have one spiritual weapon at the beginning, which is very miserable."

"But I just saw that you have condensed your Dharma image in the spiritual world. As long as you have a Dharma image, you will usually have five initial spiritual weapons to protect your body."

"Of course, if your Dharmadhatu level is upgraded every time, you will get an additional initial spiritual weapon. Well, the cloak, armor and weapons on you should all be evolved from your initial spiritual weapons. I can only say that you are really lucky that you didn't encounter the Nine-headed Demon Bird. Initial spiritual weapons are simply vulnerable in front of the Nine-headed Demon Bird."

"It is necessary to cover and strengthen it with spiritual ash in order to make the initial spiritual weapon stronger, sharper, and more powerful."

"Generally speaking, it has to be covered with spiritual ash more than three times to be qualified, and only then can it be easily killed a nine-headed demon bird."

"As for the spiritual body level, it follows the Dharmakaya level. When the Dharmakaya level is upgraded, the spiritual body is upgraded by one level. The Dharmakaya level is related to the strength of our Qi Refiners in reality. A fifth-level Qi Refiner can have the opportunity to obtain a first-level Dharmakaya level, and a sixth-level Qi Refiner can have the opportunity to obtain a second-level Dharmakaya level. Of course, the specific situation still needs to be analyzed specifically, and this is not fixed."

"For example, the five of us are all level 6 Qi Refiners in the real world, but since we have basically no hope of advancing to level 7 Qi Refiners, we have completely changed our jobs to become demon hunters in the spirit world. On the one hand, we protect the traditional knowledge of the human race in the spirit world, and on the other hand, we are looking for new traditional knowledge. If we are lucky enough, we can find new traditional knowledge that suits us, which will help us break through the bottleneck in the real world."

After hearing this explanation, Zhao Guanshan finally understood.

The battlefield of the spiritual world is used to snatch Taoist knowledge from evil spirits.

With the orthodox knowledge, you can return to reality and continue practicing.

The stronger your practice becomes, the more powerful your Dharma appearance will become.

When the Dharma is powerful, the spirit will also be powerful.

When the spirit becomes powerful, it can continue to come to the spirit world and compete with evil spirits for Taoist knowledge.

Simply perfect!
