Fire Monster

Chapter 295 Promotion
"First of all, I can't escort this group of people unless there is a better way, because I must ensure that my training time is not wasted."

"Secondly, I must earn enough Destiny Merit. As long as the Destiny Tree continues to grow, it will definitely bear fruit. It is very difficult to obtain Destiny Seeds. It is basically impossible for me to do nothing and then reap the fruits."

"Because now, whether it's the Destiny Tree or the Linjiang Prefecture Taoist Palace, they are all the background of my visualization world. They are visible but not tangible."

"So, is there a third way?"

Zhao Guanshan analyzed it carefully and finally shook his head. It’s not that there are no ways, but the two ways that can bring benefits are these two. For example, if he killed all those people, it would be a way, but what benefits could he get?
Destiny won't give him even a little merit.

If this matter is discovered by others, his merits will only be deducted. If it goes even further and he is branded as a demon, he will be wanted by the entire Tianming Map.

Evil people can get away with it for a while, but they cannot be rampant forever.

Because this is contrary to the grand goal of human society to pursue stability and better hope.

"How about we try to persuade these guys to stay? I can recruit them, but what can I do to persuade them?"

"If I want to convince these people, I must first reveal my true identity, and then show off my various abilities. I might even have to let them see this ugly statue of mine with their own eyes. Even if I convince them, I'm afraid that subsequent troubles will ensue."

Zhao Guanshan frowned. Right now in the Linjiang Prefecture Taoist Palace, there were two eighth-level Qi Refiners who were wholeheartedly promoting the awakening of destiny.

They found out that he was a remnant of the Zhao family, that he wanted to restore the monarchy, and that he even secretly kept the statues of gods. Damn it, you are the one I’m talking about, the evil god and the obscene worshipper. Come on, cut down the mountains and destroy the temples, and destroy them all!

There’s no way. He’s an eighth-level Qi Refiner. Even Zhao Guanshan and the others combined cannot defeat him.

At this moment, Zhao Guanshan no longer dared to underestimate the Destiny Tree when looking at it. It had not yet awakened, but after these two moves, he was unable to withstand it.

"There's only one month left, and then the Tangzhen gang will really go out to sea by ship. What should we do?"

The more Zhao Guanshan thought about it, the more troubled he became. The more he looked at the Destiny Tree, the more his scalp tingled. This thing was so fucking weird. He wasn't even afraid of the evil god, but this mere Destiny Tree that hadn't yet awakened actually made him so terrified.

He quickly exited the visualization world and returned to reality. He first illuminated himself with the imperial oil lamp. After his mind was stable, he pondered for a moment, and finally gritted his teeth. Damn it, he chose the first path.

He is going to escort Tang Zhen and others!
Although this is the most difficult, it is also the only one with room for maneuver.

The first step to be taken now is to convince Tang Zhen, Xu Ayue and others to postpone their departure and delay him for half a year. Half a year is enough.

However, if one wants to convince Tang Zhen and others, the first step is to have enough strength to convince them.

Thinking of this, Zhao Guanshan no longer hesitated. He picked up the ugly statue on the ground and held it in his hand. He was going to start accelerated cultivation.

He had 29 spirit stones left before, plus the 6 reserved, a total of 35. This time he earned 52 from Tang Zhen's group, 10 of which were used to condense the seventh-level fire dispersing rune.

Therefore, the total number of spirit stones in his hand now is seventy-seven. He kept seventeen as reserves, and the remaining sixty were used for his intensive training.

Of course, Zhao Guanshan didn't dare to go too fast, so he made sure to consume only three spirit stones a day. After consuming each spirit stone, he would rest for three hours.

This is equivalent to cultivating thirty-three breaths of innate pure yang energy in twelve hours every day.

However, these innate pure yang energies cannot be directly transformed into cultivation.

It is indeed possible when you have not yet gone through the personal tribulation and are still at level four or below. If you cultivate a breath of innate pure yang energy, it can be directly converted into cultivation.

However, after going through the personal tribulation and cultivating a pure yang body, all the innate pure yang energy that has been cultivated needs to be divided into three parts.

One is used to temper the pure yang body, that is, to temper the physical body, to resolve the hidden diseases and injuries in the physical body, and at the same time to improve the potential for cultivation as much as possible.

This is a very important step and also an important turning point in the Qi Refiner system.

The tempering of the pure yang body is based on the number of layers, and the quality will be improved every nine layers.

For example, Zhao Guanshan, Liu Yuwei, and Xiao Chengyun have only completed the first level of tempering, so they can only restore a breath of innate pure yang energy on their own every day.

When you have tempered your pure yang body to the ninth level, you will be able to restore two breaths of innate pure yang energy every day.

And this tempering is not affected by the level of cultivation.

In other words, a ninth-level Qi Refiner might only have tempered one layer.

A fifth-level Qi Refiner may have tempered his Qi to the ninety-ninth level.

This is a track that requires great attention to resources and the speed of practicing and refining qi.

At this point, Zhao Guanshan undoubtedly has a huge advantage.

Because he had the help of the statue, his Qi training and practice skills could be increased tenfold.

Others can't even catch up.

Putting aside other things, two days have passed, and the spirit stone in Xiao Chengyun's hand has been consumed by less than one third, and the spirit stone in Liu Yuwei's hand has been consumed by one quarter.

It is clear at a glance how big the gap is.

This is the first track, which requires you to separate one third of your innate pure yang energy. This is not mandatory.

Then the second track must be divided out, and one-third of the innate pure yang energy must be divided into the life fire. Because at this level, the life span of the Qi Refiner has exceeded the upper limit of mortals, so the life fire is burning for oneself.

If the life fire is not strong, it is easy to die young. This is the factor that controls life span.

As for the life fire, there is no standard. No matter how much innate pure yang energy you absorb through practicing qigong, you just need to give away half of it. And this goes on forever and ever, without end.

Unless you can finally survive the disaster.

But Zhao Guanshan already had a deep understanding of how difficult it was to survive a life-threatening catastrophe.

The third headmaster of Cangwu Taoist Palace was already a ninth-level Qi-refining master, but he was not sure he could survive the catastrophe, so he went astray.

Qin Wuyuan from Linjiang Taoist Palace is also a ninth-level Qi Refiner, but he has not yet survived his fateful calamity.

Cheng Muye of Zhenhai Dao Palace is also a ninth-level Qi Refiner. He doesn't dare to cross the calamity for fear that his soul will be destroyed, so he simply surrenders and wanders in the spirit world.

Therefore, the innate pure yang energy that is invested into the fire of life is absolutely indispensable.

In this way, two-thirds were divided, and the remaining one-third was used to improve cultivation and realm.

In this way, his net income every day is eleven mouthfuls of innate pure yang energy.

These innate pure yang energies need to be merged with the innate pure yang energies already in the physical body and spread throughout the twelve levels of the body, like the fire in a furnace, wandering endlessly. At the same time, it is also necessary to improve the understanding of the Lihuo Taoist Talisman, so that these innate pure yang energies and the Lihuo Taoist Talisman can form a perfect resonance.

In this way, Zhao Guanshan practiced intensively for four whole days in one go, and obtained a total of forty-four breaths of innate pure yang energy, successfully bringing the total number of innate pure yang energy in his body to one hundred and sixteen.

At this time, he was still a fifth-level Qi Refiner.

In order to reach the standard of a sixth-level Qi Refiner, he still needs one last step, which is to resonate with the Lihuo Dao Talisman. It is equivalent to him being a student who has worked hard and racked his brains to finish the test paper and is now waiting for the teacher to mark the paper and give him a grade.

Lihuo Daofu is his teacher, and also the teacher of all Lihuo Qi-refining practitioners, because the source of their Taoist tradition lies here.

Whether you can resonate with the Lihuo Dao Fu and whether the degree of resonance can reach perfection is very important.

For example, if your aptitude for cultivation is poor and your understanding of the Lihuo Dao Fu is not deep enough, then you may need to prepare one hundred and twenty or even one hundred and thirty mouthfuls of innate pure yang energy. If the quality is not enough, you can make up for the quantity. It's that simple.

Zhao Guanshan prepared eight more this time, otherwise the standard would be one hundred and eight.

At this moment, he did not dare to be careless and was very nervous, because in this matter, Lihuo Daofu would really not give him face, and might even be more strict than to others.

At this time, after summoning the small flame in the sealed oil lamp, Zhao Guanshan pinched the most basic power rune with one hand, and pinched the most proficient and relatively high-level magical rune he could currently master with the other hand. This determined the range of resonance. For example, if he dared to pinch the eighth-level dispel, no, even the seventh-level dispel, then the chance of resonance failing would be very high.

He can master more advanced magical runes in advance, but perfect resonance requires starting from the very bottom without any shortcomings, otherwise the resonance will fail.

In an instant, as Zhao Guanshan picked up the most basic and lowest-level rune, it was like the beginning of a final exam.

The life fire on his head burned fiercely and was more than three meters high.

Four soul armor pieces also appeared between his eyebrows. These were connected to the life fire, so he had to be present and could not stay out of it.

Soon after, a faint golden glow appeared on his whole body, like a golden bell that held him. This was the Pure Yang Body BUFF that he had tempered to the second level.

Finally, a majestic and huge Lihuo Dao Talisman emerged from the life fire, which was completely different from the small flame in the imperial seal oil lamp.

The latter is like the little sister next door, well-behaved and sweet-spoken.

At this moment, the Lihuo Daofu in the life fire is the cold-faced queen, who is merciless!
"boom!"

There was no need for Zhao Guanshan to start on his own. The moment the Lihuo Dao Talisman appeared, the 116 breaths of pure yang energy in Zhao Guanshan's body went out of control and returned to their original state.

Like a wild horse running free from its reins or a rushing flood, Zhao Guanshan needs to fully control and harness it in the shortest possible time.

If it were normal, it would be fine, but at this moment, the Lihuo Dao Fu directly transformed into millions of forms, and was actually guiding the one hundred and sixteen mouthfuls of innate pure yang energy to produce many changes.

Sometimes it is like a hurricane, sometimes like a landslide, sometimes like moving clouds, sometimes like the river or the sea. Sometimes it roars and sometimes disappears without a trace. There are really three thousand six hundred kinds of changes in the sky and on the ground. Sneak attacks, secret plots, rebellions, forced killings, teasing, all kinds of means are used. It is so difficult to deal with.

However, Zhao Guanshan also came prepared, and his roots were deep. He could counter the enemy's moves, draw inferences from one instance, anticipate the enemy's moves, scheme against each other, and be resourceful. No matter how your Lihuo Dao Fu changes, he can control it with ease.

This fight was simply a thrilling battle!

Until Zhao Guanshan completely subdued all the 116 breaths of innate pure yang energy and regained control, and then with a loud bell sound, he passed the level perfectly.

At this moment, any breath of pure innate yang energy in his body could perfectly resonate with the Lihuo Dao Talisman, and could be driven and controlled at will.

It was also at this moment that he became a sixth-level Qi Refiner.

Moreover, he is a sixth-level Qi-refining master who has surpassed the full score.

After all, other sixth-level Qi Refiners, even if they get full marks, only have 108 breaths of innate pure yang energy.
