Chapter 294: The Wandering Qi Refiner
After hearing what Tang Zhen said, Zhao Guanshan finally understood that this was a small group of Qi Refiners who were preparing to wander.

It can be said that the ideas of this group of people coincide with his previous ideas to a certain extent.

If it was before, he would even feel that this was a fellow traveler and he would be overjoyed.

After all, with the addition of fifteen level five Qi Refiners, plus him, Liu Yuwei, and Xiao Chengyun, the chances of success will increase significantly.

However, after this series of changes, his thoughts have changed.

"Can you give me some time to think about it?"

"Of course you can, but it's better to decide within a month, because we have already decided to leave in a month anyway."

Tang Zhen said in a deep voice.

Seeing this, Zhao Guanshan couldn't help but ask again, "Are you ready?"

"We are certainly prepared. In fact, we started preparing seven years ago. But at the beginning, there were only three of us. Later, fellow Taoists gradually joined us. We all understand the situation very well and know that we can't delay any longer."

"Okay, I'll give you a reply within a month."

After saying that, Zhao Guanshan stopped talking about this matter and started to continue condensing the seventh-level dispelling rune. It was not bad to earn spirit stones.

And this group of wandering Qigong practitioners kept their word and came here really for his seventh-level dispelling rune. Even the Lihuo Qigong practitioner named Sui bought one.

In the end, it took Zhao Guanshan two full days to complete the delivery and he successfully earned 52 spirit stones.

Boy, this is easier than fighting for life and death in the spirit world.

During these two days, the breached defense line of the Demon Suppression Division was reintegrated and repaired, and the situation was stabilized again.

Facts have proved that as long as there are several powerful Qi Refiners in charge, the chariot frenzy of the Demon Suppression Division can easily crush the tide of evil demons.

"See, Fellow Daoist Wuming, regardless of whether the destiny is awakened or not, once mortals are enlightened and the knowledge of the immortal cultivator-Qi refiner system is widely spread, this is the result. Ten years ago, mortals could only master the third-level imperial seal chariot, but in just ten years, this chariot has been upgraded to the sixth level, and even developed into a third-level imperial seal fighter. The sky and the earth are almost becoming the territory of mortals."

"Even if there is no destiny, we will be replaced sooner or later."

Tang Zhen and the others stood on the spirit-offering tower, overlooking everything. Everyone had made up their mind to leave.

"Tang Zhen, Xu Ayue, have you bewitched another fellow Taoist?"

The sword flashed, and five figures appeared on the platform. They were a complete team of Five Elements Qi Refiners.

But this team of Five Elements Qi Refiners are all level seven Qi Refiners with powerful strength. However, they have one thing in common, that is, the Qingmu Qi Refiner in their team is also a ninety-year-old old woman who looks like she will die after walking two steps.

Obviously, they were also wary of Aoki's curse.

"Brother Liu, you are joking. We just want to survive."

Tang Zhen bowed and greeted without panic. The fact that they were going to go out to sea was no secret. Ever since the accident of the first round of seal holders, the Taoist Palace had no actual restraint and ruling power, and no one was in charge. They could either go into seclusion, compete for the position of national teacher, or go out to sea. It was just a matter of choosing one of the three paths.

Senior Brother Liu glanced at Zhao Guanshan and did not continue to ask. He just said, "I heard that you are all ready to go to sea next month?"

"Yes."

"I understand your thoughts, but to be fair, I think you really shouldn't do this. Even if you can no longer practice and break through your current realm, you still have another 300 to 500 years to live. But if you go out to sea on a ship, you will most likely not live for more than a year."

Senior Brother Liu sighed and began to persuade.

"Die for the sake of seeking the truth, and die without regrets!"

"Then I have nothing to say. Thank you for your help in breaking through the defense line this time. Our team of Five Elements Qi Refiners cannot represent the Dao Palace, but only ourselves. I will give you 30 spirit stones. Take care on your journey."

After saying that, Senior Brother Zhao threw out thirty spirit stones, two for each person, and Zhao Guanshan got nothing.

This is because before he arrived, Tang Zhen, Xu Ayue and the other fifteen people had already finished a battle on the front line.

After Senior Brother Zhao and his team left, Zhao Guanshan explained the situation and left on his own.

Tang Zhen and the others didn't care. This kind of thing couldn't be forced.

However, Tang Zhen still reminded him, "Fellow Daoist Wuming, you'd better make a decision quickly, because in a few days, we will have to refine the Five Elements Elixir, which is our biggest reliance for sailing out to sea. If you decide not to go out to sea, it's fine, but if you decide to go out to sea, you can't miss it."

"it is good!"

Zhao Guanshan nodded, then he went down from the Spirit Offering Tower, went to the Demon Suppression Division, and borrowed a sealed fighter jet to return.

After entering Linjiang Prefecture City, he took off the Misleading Rune from his body, put it back into the Imperial Seal Oil Lamp, and then replaced it with the Seventh-Level Oblivion Rune, and disappeared from the world.

It is worth mentioning that now his sealed oil lamp can hold twelve runes because of the upgrade of the small flame. This is equivalent to a card pack, or an instant spell slot. He can just take it out and blast it when needed.

After circling Linjiang Prefecture for a few times, Zhao Guanshan returned to the secret bunker where the three of them lived. He first went to check on Liu Yuwei and discovered that her cultivation was going quite smoothly. Not only was she not affected by the Qingmu curse, but she had already cultivated seventy-third breaths of innate pure yang energy.

This was obviously not because of her extraordinary talent, but because Zhao Guanshan placed a statue here to block the Qingmu curse for her.

In addition, there is another reason, that is, Liu Yuwei also has her own Dharma image, and has a strong ability to resist risks. After making sure that she is temporarily safe, Zhao Guanshan meditated and visualized the Lihuo Dao Talisman, entering the visualization world. The magical thing is that when he entered, the large amount of gray streamers, white streamers, and the golden streamer he had obtained from killing evil demons on the battlefield all followed him in and enveloped his consciousness.

Zhao Guanshan didn't know what was going on at first. When he tried to use his consciousness to control it, he found that these streams of light could be freely combined and changed like spiritual weapons.

"No way, can we create a set of merit suits?"

Zhao Guanshan was thinking about it in his mind, but he ignored it and went straight to look at the other side, which was the background of his visualized world.

The general background has not changed much, it is still the scene of the entire Linjiang Mansion ship sailing above the Demonic Fire Abyss.

However, the small destiny tree in the center is no longer in its previous sluggish state and has returned to normal, so does this mean that the evil demon's attack has been successfully repelled?
Zhao Guanshan stared at the sapling and found that so far, it had a main trunk, two larger branches, and fifteen smaller branches, but none of them had leaves, so naturally there was no question of flowering and fruiting. Without fruit, there was naturally no such thing as a seed of destiny.

That’s right, at present this small destiny tree is not considered a destiny seed, and the two pseudo-destiny talismans he had snatched before only made destiny his overall background.

"If my guess is correct, these two thicker branches could represent the third and fourth rounds of the two candidates for the position of National Master in the Linjiang Prefecture Taoist Palace?"

"And these fifteen smaller branches represent the fifteen Qi cultivators who are also willing to work for the destiny?"

Zhao Guanshan guessed that it was mainly because the number was too coincidental.

Indeed, at present, there are only these seventeen high-level Qi-refining masters in the Linjiang Prefecture Taoist Palace who are die-hard members of the Tianming National Master faction.

After thinking about it, Zhao Guanshan poured the many streams of light surrounding him into the Destiny tree. It was not a complicated matter. The streams of light would be injected automatically. After all the gray streams of light at the beginning were injected, a small bud could be seen sprouting on the Destiny tree.

After all the white light was injected, the tiny buds turned into tender branches, which were still very small. But when the golden light was injected, the tender branches turned into small branches about 30 centimeters long, which had caught up with the second echelon.

At this moment, Zhao Guanshan felt a magical feeling in his heart. This little tree of destiny formed some kind of unspeakable bond with him.

It is expected that the seventeen Qi Refiners should have the same feeling, but they do not have the unique conditions like Zhao Guanshan. Not only can they not visualize the world, they can't form a big background, and can't see the overall picture of the Destiny Tree.

This is undoubtedly a huge advantage.

In addition, Zhao Guanshan discovered that he could also get some feedback, or guidance, from the Destiny Tree.

For example, at this moment, when he was thinking about Tang Zhen, Xu Ayue and a group of wandering Qi cultivators, two small leaves sprouted from the branch of the Destiny Tree that belonged to him and fell directly.

After Zhao Guanshan caught it, the leaf disappeared immediately, and was replaced by two pictures.

In the first scene, Zhao Guanshan himself successfully persuaded this group of wandering Qi-refining practitioners to stay in the Linjiang Prefecture Taoist Palace and give up sailing out to sea. Then, at the end of the scene, it was fixed on his branch, which had actually grown continuously for a long time and was able to completely catch up with the first echelon, becoming one of the three main trunks of the Destiny Tree.

In the second scene, Zhao Guanshan personally escorted this group of wandering Qi-refining practitioners out to sea and successfully arrived at an unknown Taoist temple. Then, the final scene froze on the scene where his branch not only continued to grow a long section, but also sprouted a small new branch from it.

At this moment, Zhao Guanshan was stunned. Could the Destiny Tree achieve this?

Just give him the destiny mission directly?

At this moment his heart was filled with awe and deep vigilance, because he was really afraid that he would not be able to grasp it. Otherwise, he would not be able to get the Seed of Destiny, and instead become a puppet national master of Destiny.

But he soon calmed down. Being in the circle of destiny, one must have the courage to seek the skin of a tiger.

Success or failure doesn't matter, but he doesn't want to lie down.

"Strange, why would sending this group of wandering Qi cultivators away reward them with more merits?"

“Is it because they are a destabilizing factor?”

"Also, escorting them to find the new Dao Palace is so difficult. Does this Destiny Tree want me to die?"

"Unless - damn!"

Zhao Guanshan suddenly understood that the Destiny Tree was not only killing people but also destroying their hearts!

It is impossible to successfully find the Fuyun Taoist Palace or the Cangwu Taoist Palace by sailing out to sea at this time. The only ones you can encounter are the Zhenhai and Qingcheng Taoist Palaces that are converging towards them.

However, the destiny of these two Taoist palaces has been awakened, the mortals have become wise, the industrial revolution of cultivating immortals has been completely completed, and the martial virtues are abundant.

Damn, think about it, Tang Zhen, Xu Ayue and other wandering cultivators have been struggling in the Demonic Fire Abyss for so long, and they finally thought they had discovered a new Taoist palace and a new world. They could finally escape their original fate and start a new journey of cultivation.

As a result, this place is even more powerful than the Linjiang Prefecture Taoist Palace, and the destiny here has already awakened.

They have been stuck in the whirlpool of fate, unable to struggle out.

How desperate.

It is even possible that this Destiny Tree is plotting against him in secret.

After all, what he wanted was the Seed of Destiny, not to be a national teacher. What he lacked most was time. As a result, he wasted a lot of time escorting that group of wandering Qi Refiners. When he comes back, will he still have the chance to practice?
"Good fellow, it turns out that we have been rivals since the beginning."

"Very good, since you want to set up your formation, let's fight!"
