Fire Monster

Chapter 242 The Last Witcher

Zhao Guanshan didn’t know how this witcher survived, but this guy definitely had some skills.

At this moment, he did not bother to check other objects, and quickly dragged the man out, took off his own green leaf jade pendant, and put it on the man.

In the battle just now, this spiritual weapon played a very important role, and it was almost the most important factor in his ability to fight for a long time.

Even with such consumption, the energy in the green leaf jade pendant still does not decrease.

At this time, the witcher can still be pulled back from the near-death state.

About five minutes later, seeing that the man's spirit had recovered, Zhao Guanshan quickly took back the jade pendant. After thinking about it, he took off his own spirit ash armor and gave it to the man. Otherwise, in the environment of the spirit world, the man would not live long without even a spiritual weapon.

"Thank you for your help, fellow Taoist. I would like to express my gratitude here."

The witcher woke up slowly, still very weak.

"You are Welcome."

Zhao Guanshan nodded and put the witcher aside. He then had time to check other objects. There were actually more than a dozen broken spiritual weapons in it, which were considered good stuff.

In addition, there are two other items. One is a lamp with a strange shape, but it can still be seen as a lamp. The other is actually a complete stone platform.

The former is nothing, but the latter is amazing because it can be used to polish high-quality ash.

Seeing Zhao Guanshan pondering the two objects, the witcher suddenly spoke.

"This spirit demon has become quite powerful. Even I was deceived by it before. I fought with it in its belly for three months. I was about to lose. Fortunately, you helped me. So, please accept this spirit world sky lantern and this method stone to repay you for saving my life."

"By the way, which Taoist temple are you from? I'm from the Taoist temple of Linjiang Prefecture. My surname is Qin and my name is Wuyuan!"

"Qin Wuyuan?"

Zhao Guanshan was stunned. Oh my god, isn't that Qin Wuyuan who died a few months ago? There is another person with the same name.

At this moment, his thoughts turned over and over in his mind, and he finally made a decision.

"It's a great honor, Qin Wuyuan, don't you recognize me? I'm also from the Linjiang Prefecture Taoist Palace."

Zhao Guanshan laughed strangely.

"You are--"

This time it was Qin Wuyuan's turn to be stunned, and then his expression became extremely interesting, first anger, then lamentation, and finally dejection.

"You are a member of the Zhao family. Are you Zhao Wenyu? Or Zhao Wenhang?"

"I remember now. You should be Zhao Wenyu. Only you have the opportunity to exist in the spirit world as a spirit body even when your physical body is destroyed."

"How many years have passed? Eight hundred years, eight hundred years! Hahahaha! You finally waited until the moment when I was in despair. If that's the case, why did you still save me? It was me who destroyed your hopes with my own hands. Don't you hate me anymore?"

It's really unexpected.

Zhao Guanshan had just had a sudden inspiration and wanted to get some information, but he never expected it to have such an effect.

So what should he say now?
After thinking about it, he decided to change the subject.

"I heard that you were possessed by the devil a few months ago, failed to survive the catastrophe, and died, so your physical body should be gone now. In addition, the Dao Palace officially issued an order to lift the curfew a month ago. You know what this means."

"Hehehe, they are scared! That's all. I am actually scared too. If I hadn't been so scared and confused about the way forward, I wouldn't have been deceived by this spirit demon. Zhao Wenyu, you don't understand. You don't understand the pressure that everyone in the Dao Palace is counting on you to lead the way."

"But there is no road. It's dark ahead. There's no chance to cross the river by feeling the stones."

Qin Wuyuan sighed. "If I were still alive, I would at least not give in to this step. But now, it doesn't matter if they lift the curfew. They will definitely take more drastic actions in the future."

"How many Qi Refiners are there in the Linjiang Prefecture Dao Palace? Why haven't you increased your investment in the spiritual world over the years?"

Zhao Guanshan asked a question that had always puzzled him.

"Because there is no profit. Especially after you took away the key to the Spirit World Demon Suppression Tower, it was no longer possible for the Linjiang Prefecture Dao Palace to train high-level demon hunters. Although death in the Spirit World will not really kill you, it will cause certain, irreversible damage to your soul. But after guarding it with great effort, there is no gain."

"Instead of that, it is better to go to the Devil's Fire Abyss to hunt the Twilight Dust Moth."

"Do you regret it?"

"Regret? Do you mean that I will repent for what I did to your Zhao family? What a joke! If Linjiang Prefecture Dao Palace really followed your Zhao family's path, it might not even exist now. Even if you saved me today, I still stick to my decision that day!"

Qin Wuyuan shouted excitedly. "Whatever, it doesn't matter. I don't care anymore."

Zhao Guanshan didn't want to discuss this matter in depth because it wouldn't change anything.

Qin Wuyuan was silent for a moment, and then he sighed after a long while: "I failed this time, which is also bad luck. Otherwise, according to the philosophy I have always adhered to, I will not go to the extreme of your Zhao family, nor to the other extreme. On the one hand, I will open the wisdom of mortals and let them participate in the war to a large extent. On the other hand, I will retain the transcendent status of the Dao Palace, maintain the number and level of Qi Refiners, and at the same time defend the spirit world well."

"So, I dare not say more, but the Linjiang Prefecture Dao Palace will have no problem lasting another two thousand years."

"But now, without me, the next generation of the Dao Palace's backbone may go to extremes."

"Zhao Wenyu, from what you said before, you can actually communicate with the real world? Can you do me a favor and send a message to one of my descendants and ask him to--"

Qin Wuyuan was halfway through his speech when he suddenly became depressed.
"Forget it, it's meaningless. Once the seeds of fear are planted, they will take root and sprout, and then they will become more and more extreme. I bet that within half a year, those little bastards in the Taoist Palace will dare to destroy the five immortal statues, and then erase some uncertain magical runes, leaving only some safe Taoist runes with stable sequences, and then shut themselves up in the palace and seal the forbidden magic."

"In the future, when the climate is right and the destiny comes, we can hand over the mission of resisting evil to destiny. The Qi cultivators only need to watch the mortal world emerge from generation to generation and assist the emperor as the national teacher."

Qin Wuyuan described it calmly. It seemed that this was not the first time these thoughts had formed in his mind.

Zhao Guanshan could not comment on this and could only remain silent.

"Eh? You, Zhao Wenyu, have really changed. You weren't even angry at what I said. That's right. For eight hundred years, you've been a lonely ghost in this spirit world. How could you care about so many things? That's why you saved me!"

Zhao Guanshan continued to remain silent, which was considered as his tacit acceptance of this character.

Then he asked,

"What are your plans next?"

"I don't have any plans. I'm just a wandering ghost. If you don't mind, I'll follow you. Our bodies have both perished, so our past grudges can be written off. How do you think?"

"I don't need you to follow me, but you can choose to stay here and guard this place to prevent the demon from occupying this place again. Of course, this is just my suggestion."

Zhao Guanshan spoke calmly, took out a few damaged spiritual weapons, expended his mental energy to repair them, and threw them all to Qin Wuyuan. He then used the purple fire dagger to split the Dharma Stone into two halves, and gave half of it to Qin Wuyuan.

Qin Wuyuan was already stunned.

"What a sharp spiritual weapon! Zhao Wenyu, have you had any chance encounters in the spiritual world in the past eight hundred years? If I am not mistaken, this spiritual weapon has been reinforced at least eight times with high-quality spiritual ash! No wonder, no wonder, the spiritual demon just now couldn't bear it and fled!"

"You are wrong, it is covered and strengthened ten times!"

Zhao Guanshan did not hide anything, mainly because Qin Wuyuan had become a rootless duckweed, a real wandering ghost, so there was no need to worry about secrets being leaked.

The reason why he refused Qin Wuyuan's request to follow him was because he was not a wandering ghost and he still needed to spend a lot of time in the real world.

Now that all the witchers in Linjiang Prefecture have been captured, the next step is to shut down the palace and practice forbidden magic. Although this is also a method, it is still necessary to make some arrangements in the spirit world and leave a line of defense.

Therefore, Qin Wuyuan is the best choice.

"Strengthen ten times?"

Qin Wuyuan was extremely shocked, and he couldn't hide his envy. Really, if he had a spiritual weapon that had been strengthened ten times, how could he have let that spiritual demon destroy the foundation of his cultivation?

"I give in. I have nothing to say. You are the boss. Now I listen to you."

Qin Wuyuan muttered as he took the spiritual weapons and half of the Dharma Stone and began to cover and strengthen the spiritual weapons.

This half piece of Dharma Stone is actually high-quality spiritual ash. It looks like a lot, but in reality it can only strengthen the spiritual weapons in his hand by an average of four to five times.

"How about that, Zhao Wenyu, you can give me your Dharma Stone as well. I now have the Spirit Ash Armor you gave me, so my defense is fine, but I also need a Spirit Weapon that is at least strengthened six times. This way, with my current Level 5 Spirit Body, if I encounter a Spirit Demon again, even if I can't defeat it, I can at least escape."

"You must also understand that in the spiritual world, the most important thing is to be flexible. You can't fight a dull or hard battle. You have to retreat when the enemy advances and advance when the enemy retreats. You have to go in circles, fly kites, stab in the back, sneak attack, confuse people, and deliberately create confusion."

"As long as the demon knows that I am still here, with a demon hunter like me around, it won't dare to invade reality boldly. After all, as long as the Linjiang Prefecture Taoist Palace decides to close the palace and ban demons, it will be infinitely more difficult for it to invade reality."

"Okay! I can give it to you!"

Zhao Guanshan was really generous. Not only did he give half of the Dharma Stone to Zhao Wenyu, he even threw the +5 enhanced combat boots on his feet to him, because he knew too well the dangers of fighting alone in the spiritual world without strong enough spiritual soldiers.

He didn't want to come here again next time, only to find that Qin Wuyuan was dead.

Because in a sense, Qin Wuyuan is already the last demon hunter remaining in the spiritual world of Linjiang Prefecture Taoist Palace.

As long as he doesn't die, he will really stick to it, so this investment is still very useful.
