Fire Monster

Chapter 237 Microclimate

"So, what you mean is that Qi Refiners are actually no worse than Immortal Cultivators. The reason why Immortal Cultivators seem stronger is because the environment is very suitable for cultivation. The reason why Qi Refiners seem weak is because the environment is too harsh?"

Zhao Guanshan understood a little bit.

"Yes! That's what I mean. So it's meaningless to talk about how many levels there are of Qi Refiners. Times have changed. The road ahead is unknown and requires a little bit of exploration. It's not like the era of immortal cultivators. When you cultivate to the Mahayana stage, you can choose to survive the heavenly tribulation or the earthly tribulation. The paths are clear and obvious."

"We are living in an era of unprecedented darkness and catastrophe, so I can understand the choice of your Linjiang Prefecture Dao Palace. It really takes courage to practice in this era."

"You put all your resources on mortals, hoping to find a shortcut by opening up the people's wisdom and making everyone like a dragon. We in Cangwu Dao Palace chose to practice till the end. Over the past two thousand years, Cangwu Dao Palace has trained a total of 30,000 Qi Refiners. This is the confidence of Cangwu Dao Palace."

"As for your question, I can reveal a few things. You don't need to know who is the strongest. Take me as an example. The five rotating masters are all what you call ninth-level Qi Refiners."

"Fifty for the eighth-level Qi Refiner."

"Three hundred seventh-level Qi Refiners!"

"There are 1,500 sixth-level Qi Refiners."

"There aren't many level five cultivators like you. We can barely make up the eight thousand."

"I wonder what the situation is like here?"

Su Wujiu asked back, stroking his goatee.

"We are naturally not as good as them. The total number of mortals is only tens of millions, there are one million martial artists, and one hundred thousand imperially-sealed chariots." Zhao Guanshan said without any burden, or perhaps he really couldn't come up with any real data.

"Hmph, with tens of millions of mortals, wouldn't there be countless internal struggles for power and profit? Your Taoist palace doesn't have any powerful Qi-refining masters, so I'm afraid you won't be able to control the situation. In my opinion, you Qi-refining masters will sooner or later become state masters appointed by mortals. How foolish! I'd like to advise you that although mortals are as weak as grass, their words, actions, thoughts and ideas are all uncontrollable."

"One person's thought is like the breeze."

"A hundred people with a hundred thoughts should be like a strong wind."

"A thousand thoughts from a thousand people should be like a strong wind."

"The thoughts of thousands of people should be like a hurricane!"

"When there are tens of millions of people, they will form their own microclimate! The wind, clouds, thunder and lightning will all change with their subtlety!"

“This climate will force you to go with the flow. This climate will even control the natural forces of heaven and earth, forcing you to go with the flow. When this climate matures, it will become destiny. At that time, whether you are an immortal cultivator or a Qi-refining practitioner, you will become ants under destiny, the minions, puppets and running dogs of destiny, and then be beheaded and deified. You will become a god through luck and incense. There will be no soil for immortal cultivators and Qi-refining practitioners like us to exist in this world.”

"Do you know why, since ancient times, immortal cultivators have never helped mortals, developed mortals, or enlightened mortals? Why do they have to sit and watch mortals work in poverty and ignorance all their lives?"

“Everyone knows the suffering of mortals, but when we see and encounter it, we can only solve the suffering in the moment, and we will never solve the suffering at its root.”

"What I'm afraid of is that I might develop a bad climate, what I'm afraid of is that I might develop a destiny!"

"You already have tens of millions of mortals in Linjiang Prefecture. The climate has already achieved some success. You, just wish yourself the best."

Zhao Guanshan was stunned after hearing these words.

He couldn't help but think of his hometown Earth. What about the billions of people there? Is there a destiny?
He didn't know, and didn't dare to think about it, but that place was indeed not suitable for cultivators...

After thinking for a while, he felt that he had been tricked by Su Wujiu, so he quickly climbed out, "I understand what you said, but in the current environment, the evil demons are powerful, shouldn't we save them first? Save lives first, then think about other things. If humans are wiped out, wouldn't all our efforts be in vain?"

Unexpectedly, Su Wujiu actually nodded, "Yes, that's the truth, so I don't object to your Linjiang Prefecture Taoist Palace doing this. I wish you could have hundreds of millions of mortals, tens of millions of martial artists, and millions of imperial chariots in Linjiang Prefecture, so that you can kill all the evil demons in the Devil Fire Abyss without leaving a single piece of armor. After all, this can also reduce the pressure on us."

"But if anyone dares to do this in my Cangwu Taoist Palace, I will kill him to prevent future troubles!"

"Now, kid, you must have experienced one or even many bloody battles over routes a long time ago. Every time, there must have been a lot of bloodshed and rivers of blood. After all, it's only been two thousand years. How could all the immortals in your Linjiang Prefecture Taoist Palace die?"

"But now it seems that one side has completely won. You must remember that as long as mortals are wise, the climate they create will be more powerful and more terrifying than the climate created by ignorant mortals."

"Their thoughts converge into the climate, and the climate will subtly influence them. Of course, this is not a bad thing. For mortals, it will only get better and better. But if you want to go further on the path of Qi Refiner, you must make a decision. Cultivation is not a dinner party. To enlighten mortals is like opening the door to the abyss. You have no idea what will come out."

Su Wujiu's words immediately made Zhao Guanshan shudder. How could he not know that the Zhao family should be the loser in this route dispute. They could kill a wandering immortal and the family passed down by the wandering immortal without any foundation. Their descendants could only become paupers. Just thinking about it, you can imagine how tragic it would be.

At the same time, he also realized that Linjiang Prefecture Taoist Palace was really unable to expand the spiritual world?
Is it true that the Demon Suppression Division's industrial revolution has no big boss behind the scenes supporting it?
Can this little grasshopper really continue to jump around?

Of course, this may be just an extreme case. It is more likely that the top leaders of Linjiang Dao Palace are now in a state of balance, with the top leaders taking a conservative approach and the middle and lower levels taking an open approach. After all, the invasion of evil spirits is the main contradiction.

After all, the total population of Linjiang Prefecture has never exceeded six million. If it is less than ten million, it cannot form a small climate...

Zhao Guanshan was thinking about it when Su Wujiu suddenly sneered, "Actually, you are the Zhao Chengfeng, Yang Mao is just a name you made up."

Zhao Guanshan was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly, "Senior, you have a keen eye, but I am really the headmaster of Linjiang Dao Palace, not on duty, but the only headmaster!"

"Humph, I know this of course. Given Linjiang Prefecture's current situation, it should be difficult to advance to a Level 5 Qi Refiner. You should be the only Level 5 Qi Refiner in the Linjiang Prefecture's Dao Palace. It is precisely because of this that you had no one to protect you when you advanced and that you entered the spirit world randomly. How could everything happen without a cause?"

"I am now pointing out a clear path for you. Are you willing to save yourself? Or do you want to wait for those mortals in Linjiang Prefecture to appoint you as a national master?"

"Pfft!"

Zhao Guanshan knelt down directly, "Senior, save me!"

"Very good. I will leave a letter in this jade slip. Within three days, you will carry this item back to the spirit world and hand it over to the demon hunters of Cangwu Taoist Palace. When my original self learns of this, he will take good care of you. He will provide you with a spirit stone every month and teach you some new Taoist knowledge. In this way, you can advance to the sixth level of Qi Refiner within ten years. At that time, you only need to light a lamp rune on the eighth level spirit supply tower, and my Cangwu Taoist Palace will be able to sense the location of your Taoist palace! We will send a boat to pick you up."

"Thank you, senior!"

Zhao Guanshan was almost moved to tears of gratitude.

But at this moment, there was a knock on the door outside the Chiyin Bunker, and then Xiao Chengyun's voice was heard.

"Brother, have you come out of seclusion? I heard you talking. Who were you talking to? You have been in seclusion for a year and three months. I am very worried about you. Are you okay?"

After hearing this, Zhao Guanshan knew that something bad had happened and his plan to defraud subsidies had failed.

Su Wujiu was stunned for a moment, and suddenly became extremely angry, "Little thief, how dare you lie to me!"

"Oh!"

The next second, Su Wujiu's second shadow soul actually exploded. Apparently, he realized that Zhao Guanshan couldn't bear to hear any truth from him, so it would be a waste to say even one more punctuation mark to him.

Of course, it is also possible that he was so angry and embarrassed that he committed suicide.

Zhao Guanshan was really helpless about this. He really had no ill intentions. He really just wanted to cheat a few spirit stones. He didn't expect things to turn out like this.

However, he still agreed while activating the sixth-level dispel, first illuminating the Imperial Seal Bunker, then taking out the Imperial Seal Oil Lamp and activating the Fire Talisman to illuminate it again.

Finally, open the Chiyin Bunker and let Xiao Chengyun in.

"Junior sister, I may have gone astray. Please use your sixth-level gold fragments to illuminate me."

"Obsessed?"

Hearing this, Xiao Chengyun immediately felt as if he was facing a formidable enemy, "Brother, just stand there and don't move. Bring your sword!"

She waved her hand, and sword lights flashed silently from outside the Chiyin Bunker. In an instant, the Chiyin Bunker, which was not very large to begin with, was filled with twenty-four psychic swords.

But at this moment, Su Wujiu's voice suddenly sounded, "Daoyou, let's talk it over. I have no ill intentions!"

Unfortunately, it's too late!
Xiao Chengyun was so decisive that as soon as the sword talisman came out, the sharp sword energy instantly spread throughout the entire space, like a sword formation, sweeping away everything.

In just three seconds, the entire sturdy Chiyin Bunker was reduced to powder and cut into dust.

Even Zhao Guanshan enjoyed this fierce massage, with sword energy approaching his body, but he knew not to stop. He felt that all the microorganisms in his body had experienced a mass extinction.

After more than a year, Xiao Chengyun's sword-controlling skills have obviously improved significantly.

"Disperse!"

With a shout, the sword flashed back like a shadow, and Xiao Chengyun had already put new clothes on Zhao Guanshan.

"Brother, are you okay? I need to do a magic heart test on you."
