Fire Monster

Chapter 275: Soul Skill Tree
"Okay! Then I'll buy one too."

Zhao Guanshan did not hesitate. The ash bag was naturally excellent and one could be purchased for ten spirit stones.

After he successfully made the purchase, Wang Xuan, without saying a word, paid for a full tank of ash for him out of his own pocket. Next, they had to travel 20,000 miles without any supplies, so it would definitely be a good idea to prepare more at this time.

"When do we leave?"

"Better get going at once!"

Wang Xuan and the others looked extremely anxious, so Zhao Guanshan naturally followed the host's wishes.

However, after walking out of the Skull Mountain, Wang Xuan stopped with a complicated expression, looking at the Skull Mountain with some emotion and reluctance.

"In the past three hundred years, I have been here six times, but this should be the last time I come here in this life. This farewell should be a farewell forever."

"Everyone, please follow me here to bid farewell to our ancestors. We, the descendants, are truly incapable of defending the spiritual world."

After saying this, Wang Xuan knelt down facing the Skull Mountain and kowtowed nine times with an extremely heavy heart.

What he bid farewell to were also his glorious years.

Right now, there is a hasty retreat. Perhaps, he must have heard something. Could it be that after this incident, the radical faction of the Tianlong Taoist Palace has begun to rise?

Zhao Guanshan couldn't help but feel heavy-hearted. This was a great rout in the spiritual world. It was invisible and intangible, but it had far-reaching significance.

The human race eventually gave up the pursuit and protection of more Taoist traditions.

Next, the five of them set off quietly. According to the old rules, someone was needed to act as a scout in the front. Following Wang Xuan's suggestion, Zhao Guanshan acted as the scout without any hesitation. There was no other way. He had earned enough already. Even if he went offline at any time and could ride the wind away at any time, he would not lose anything. Therefore, he was the most relaxed.

In addition, because he carries a magical treasure, he can handle any emergency by himself.

"Fellow Daoist Chengfeng, just make sure you march a thousand miles every day, and don't look back at us. Just bring this thing with you, and we will naturally be able to sense you."

Wang Xuan took out a specially made spiritual weapon cloak, which was exclusive to the Floating Cloud Taoist Palace. After putting it on, he was able to form a very clear connection with Wang Xuan and the other three.

"it is good!"

Zhao Guanshan agreed and activated the Dao Jade. After Wang Xuan marked a point for him, he strode forward to explore the way.

There was nothing special about the first day's march, because this place was still within the radiation range of the Tianlong Taoist Palace's spiritual world stronghold.

However, when it was time to rest, Zhao Guanshan was still fine, but he found that Wang Xuan and the other three looked very tired. In this state, they could not walk a long distance of 50,000 miles.

"Everyone, is there anything wrong with you?"

"There's nothing wrong, I just feel a little tired for no reason."

Wang Xuan sat there and answered casually. The other three didn't even want to talk.

This is very wrong.

Zhao Guanshan was filled with alarm. This shouldn't have happened.

Wang Xuan is an eighth-level spirit body, and the other three are seventh-level spirit bodies. Their ability to withstand pollution and erosion is absolutely amazing. Moreover, the reinforcement level of their spiritual weapons and armor is not low. Now, two or three pieces have reached the level of +10.

Why so tired?

Zhao Guanshan wanted to activate the imperial seal oil lamp, but after thinking about it, he gave up. Sometimes, improving perception does not cure all diseases.

The symptoms of Wang Xuan and others might be related to the evil god before. As for why he didn't feel tired, it was probably related to the wild fire armor piece he condensed.

"So the most urgent task is to find a way to reduce their perception."

Zhao Guanshan thought of Mo Laoer again. He didn’t know what was going on. He thought of Mo Laoer frequently during this period. Was it a whim?
"A mere mortal can even make an eighth-level Qi Refiner ashamed in terms of shielding his perception. This is either a natural talent, or -"

Zhao Guanshan didn't dare to think further. The evil spirits were treacherous and unpredictable, so it was not impossible that they were lurking among the human race.

Fortunately, he had already disbanded New Town ten years ago and faked his death to leave. Regardless of whether Mo Lao Er had problems or not, the impact should not be significant...

Just as he was thinking this, Zhao Guanshan suddenly felt a little tired, and his mental perception became turbid from being clear.

"rough!"

He was surprised, so this was the effect of his wild imagination. Wang Xuan and the other three were too worried and felt even more sad. Anyway, the accumulation of various emotions made them look so tired.

Fortunately, he did not enhance their perception, otherwise the higher their perception, the more sensitive they would be, and they would become more sad and depressed, and then they would fall into a vicious circle.

At that moment, he quickly collected his mind, and after a moment, he felt two kinds of aura, one cool and one hot, circulating and swirling from his brows. They turned into a vortex, rolling past and cleansing his mind. The turbid feeling of fatigue was instantly swept away.

So, can this method be used to provide relief to Wang Xuan and the other three?

Zhao Guanshan's heart moved. This was not something that could be solved by just standing by and watching. For the sake of his remaining forty spirit stones, he had to do this.

At that moment, he came to the most tired looking demon hunter among the four. His name was Fang Peng. Although he was sitting cross-legged and trying to calm his mind and regulate his breathing, he was visibly tired, as if he had worked overtime for a hundred hours in a row, sitting there, wanting to sleep but unable to, with weak nerves and hallucinations. Even when he was sitting in front of Fang Peng, he was unaware that the situation was indeed very serious.

After a little thought, Zhao Guanshan stretched out his right hand and pressed it on Fang Peng's head. He tried to open his eyes and showed a tired smile, but he also understood what Zhao Guanshan wanted to do.

"Thank you very much."

Zhao Guanshan didn't say anything, but just focused his consciousness on the three pieces of armor, trying to guide the two breaths of coolness and warmth to circulate, evolve into a vortex, and finally transmit them to Fang Peng.

At this moment, a faint, gray soul armor piece the size of a grain of rice appeared between his eyebrows. It turned out that he had also cultivated a soul armor piece, but it was too small and of ordinary quality.

That’s not right. He should have completed his inner demon tribulation in the real world, so there is no benefit of overcoming it in the spiritual world.

Zhao Guanshan sighed in his heart. The spiritual world really had too many secrets and too many benefits. It was a pity that now they had to be handed over to the evil spirits.

At this time, as he gradually passed the vortex, Fang Peng's tired and turbid state began to improve visibly. But suddenly, as if he was in a last gasp, this good state suddenly ended. In an instant, his face became pale, and even the small, weak soul armor could not withstand it and went out directly.

The recoil force was so strong that it immediately swept into Zhao Guanshan's mind, like a black spider with countless spider legs. In his mind, it frantically spread a black web, intending to cover him and make him fall into an indescribable state of fatigue and turbidity.

Zhao Guanshan no longer cared about Fang Peng at this time, and concentrated all his efforts on dealing with the black spider that invaded his mind. This thing was very strange and flexible, and the vortex formed by the two kinds of soul armor pieces could not even be effective for a while.

This thing is very flexible and moves very fast. Zhao Guanshan's hot and cold vortex is like a big fat man, being flown like a kite all over the place and being played with like crazy.

In just a moment, most of his mind was lost, and he felt black silk everywhere. His mind and mental strength were bound by the black silk. He felt lazy, tired, and weak, and even his thoughts became dull and turbid.

"I can't chase anymore. I need to hold on to the core."

Zhao Guanshan knew something was wrong, so he used the vortex of hot and cold to return to the location of the three soul armor pieces. He hung up the banner of no battle and refused to come out, allowing the black spider to tease him, seduce him, spin black silk, and lay eggs in various ways. Even though his spirit body was about to turn into a spider nest, he remained unmoved.

He was only firm on one point, that my soul armor plate was my core, and as for the rest, he could do whatever he wanted.

He really gave it his all. There was nothing he could do otherwise.

As time went by, Zhao Guanshan felt that his spirit had hatched countless black spiders of various sizes. They moved through his body without piercing the surface of his skin. They used his bones as a parkour road and his flesh and blood as food. They kept moving through his body, like a spider fortress.

If you count them carefully, there are at least 300 big spiders, 30,000 small spiders, and 300,000 spider eggs.

This is a very clear, very palpable, and very real feeling.

Any torture in the world is nothing compared to this.

Zhao Guanshan almost collapsed countless times. Having a spider crawling on his body and having a spider crawling inside his body, as well as having countless spiders crawling inside his body, densely packed and rustling, are two completely different things.

Not to mention ordinary people, even Qi cultivators would not be able to bear it and would eventually collapse and commit suicide.

Zhao Guanshan even wanted to set a fire and die together with these strange spiders.

But he finally endured it.

The soul armor plate is truly his core. Under such torture, the vortex of cold and hot not only did not weaken, but gradually grew stronger.

The blue snow armor scales are like a cold wave.

The wildfire armor scales are like flames.

As if they were naturally complementary to each other, they continuously generated huge whirlpools of frenzy, burning all the nearby sea of ​​spiders to ashes.

This also made Zhao Guanshan suddenly realize that the blue snow and wild fire in the spiritual world are not water and fire in the real sense. In the real world, water and fire are incompatible, but in the spiritual world, in the power of thought, these two seemingly opposite forces can actually complement each other perfectly.

This idea is like a weed, which spreads with vigor and continues to grow and become a towering tree.

Before anyone knew it, countless spiders had turned to ashes, and in their place appeared a strange and twisted rune that had never been seen before.

It was also at this moment that Zhao Guanshan could actually sense his own visualized world very clearly, and then with a thought, he returned to his visualized world.

Here, the Lihuo Dao Talisman is as dazzling as the sun, commanding the overall situation. Below it, in order, are the Dispersal Runes, the Explosion Runes, and the Demon-Suppressing Runes. These were the three branches he had developed before, but now, a fourth branch has appeared here.

The strange rune he had just obtained from killing the black spider appeared here.

Zhao Guanshan carefully pondered for a moment and understood the meaning of this strange rune.

That is, refine mental strength, refine thoughts, refine the spiritual body, and forge the primordial spirit.

And now, this rune has automatically lit up to the first level.

The specific effect is that when the spirit body is upgraded to a higher level, the total amount of mental power will double.

Very strong!

But this is not the point. The point is that this is new knowledge, a new tradition, which he took back from the evil spirits.
