Fire Monster

Chapter 296 Wandering Rune
When the life fire disappears, the Tao talisman will emerge naturally.

When Zhao Guanshan opened his eyes again, the entire quiet room in the bunker became bright for a moment.

There was a faint rhyme of Tao roaring through the void, which then turned into the sound of a bell, resounding through his mind.

He was one step closer to the great road, although it was still only a tiny step.

"Level 6 Explosion, Level 5 Demon Suppression, Level 2 Inferno, not bad."

Zhao Guanshan muttered to himself that his promotion this time also resulted in the three magical powers being upgraded to a higher level each. So far, he had lit up as many as nine rune stars.

They are the eighth-order dispel, and its branches, the seventh-order oblivion, and the seventh-order misleading.

Sixth-level Explosion, and its branch, Sixth-level Fire Escape.

The fifth-level demon-suppressing and its branch, the second-level fire hell.

Finally, there are the lower-level branches: the fifth-level broadsword mastery and the fifth-level longsword mastery.

The number and level of these magical powers are top-notch even among the seventh-level Qi Refiners, not to mention among the sixth-level Qi Refiners.

However, this journey into the abyss of demonic fire is still far from enough.

"It would be great if I could light up the ninth level of dispel."

Zhao Guanshan sighed slightly. He knew that this was impossible. It was not a question of how much energy to accumulate, but that he did not have time to comprehend it. Because what was the point of just lighting up the ninth-level dispel in the visualization world?

Also, this is one of the three most important main magical powers. The difficulty of comprehending it is the same as that of Explosion and Demon Suppression.

Without three to five years of contemplation and familiarity, he simply wouldn't be able to figure it out.

The last time he tried to comprehend the eighth level of dispel, it took him nearly four years.

As a result, I have only just mastered it now.

If you take too big a step, you will really get hurt.

So instead of doing this, it is better to light up other runes, including lighting up subsequent rune stars.

Because the difficulty will be greatly reduced.

For example, the runes of oblivion and misdirection are only one-third as difficult to comprehend as the runes of dispel.

As soon as he thought of this, Zhao Guanshan took out the thirteenth-level perfect magic pill. This great treasure finally came in handy today.

This is a really good stuff. If it was before the little flame merged, it would definitely be able to turn the tables and swallow the little flame.

But now it is just enough.

At this time, as Zhao Guanshan brought the magic pill close to the imperial seal oil lamp, the small flame inside shot out fiercely. It took a full five minutes to completely fuse the magic pill. However, after the fusion, the small flame had turned into a large sea of ​​fire, filling the entire quiet room. If it was outside, the flame would at least soar to a hundred meters high!

Fortunately, Zhao Guanshan had already set up a Fire Prison to suppress the devil and block the heat wave.

At the same time, take the time to visualize the Lihuo Dao Fu and enter the visualization world.

Then, after such a long time, he was burned again and almost screamed. In his current state, he felt like he was about to explode at any time.

Not daring to delay, Zhao Guanshan first lit up the seventh-level fire escape, but after lighting it up, the remaining energy was still terrifying.

So he decisively lit up the Oblivion Rune to the eighth level, which was the maximum. Unless he could light up the ninth level to dispel it first, he could not continue lighting it up.

Next comes the sixth-level demon-suppression and the third-level fire hell.

Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief. The situation was stabilized. At this time, only a quarter of the energy brought by the magic pill remained.

Next, he spent a long time sensing several subsequent branch rune stars, and finally chose a new rune star extending from the dispersal system.

This rune is not particularly special, it just continues the style of the usual dispel rune assistance.

Dispel is an auxiliary, forget is an auxiliary, and mislead is also an auxiliary.

Then this fourth rune is still auxiliary.

The specific effect is positioning, but unlike ordinary positioning abilities, this one is difficult to use in combat.

For example, the Qianjin Taoist Talisman practiced by Xiao Chengyun also has positioning powers, but it is basically used to mark target enemies.

However, the positioning rune extending from the Lihuo Dao Talisman looks a bit out of tune and unreliable, and has a rather brainless and unhappy look.

The specific activation process is like throwing a message in a drifting bottle. Where it can be located depends purely on fate.

The only advantage is that it can be delivered in large quantities at one time.

At this time, Zhao Guanshan consumed a little energy and successfully lit up the rune star. It was very easy. As for the name, he originally wanted to use "positioning", but after thinking about it, he felt that it would be better to call it "wandering".

Anyway, there is already one forgotten one in the dispelling series, so it doesn't matter if there is one more wandering one.

The main thing is to do whatever you want.

Then, he began to continuously strengthen this wandering rune.

The first-level wandering uses fire as a medium to condense five fire signal buoys at one time and randomly drop them. As long as the distance does not exceed one hundred miles in a straight line, the position of these fire signal buoys can be sensed. The effective time is ten days. When necessary, these buoys can be used for trace reconnaissance, but once this is done, the fire signal buoys will become ineffective.

It sounds a bit tasteless and too random.

But this is why Zhao Guanshan named it Wandering. The second-level Wandering uses fire as a medium, condenses ten fire signal buoys at a time, and randomly releases them. The maximum straight-line contact distance is 150 miles, and the effective time is 20 days.

The third-level wandering weapon has fifteen pieces at a time, the maximum straight-line communication distance is two hundred miles, and the effective time is forty days.

……

Zhao Guanshan lit it up to the sixth level of wandering in one breath.

Thirty fire signal buoys can be condensed at one time and randomly dropped. The maximum straight-line communication distance is three hundred and fifty miles and the validity period is one year.

This time, Zhao Guanshan finally smiled.

Yes, although the maximum straight-line distance is only 350 miles, which still sounds unreliable, but it can last for a year, which in itself is a huge advantage.

He could just as well go along, casting stray buoys as he goes.

That's right, it's you.

Zhao Guanshan did not hesitate any longer and directly took out three spirit stones and continued to light up the Wandering Rune to the seventh level.

Then, he took out six spirit stones again and lit up the Wandering Rune to the eighth level.

Reached the top.

The eighth-level wanderer can condense forty fire signal buoys at one time and randomly deploy them. The maximum straight-line communication distance is five hundred miles, and the effective retention time is four years!
In other words, as long as Zhao Guanshan keeps spreading the seeds, even in the abyss of the devil's fire, he can return along the same route after four years.

This was his plan, bold and crazy, completely aimed at making the impossible possible.

Because only in this way can he gain some initiative in the game with the Destiny Tree.

He had no way of persuading Tang Zhen and the others to stay, and he couldn't give up this opportunity to earn a lot of merit.

But under normal circumstances, if he escorted Tang Zhen and others to Zhenhai or Qingcheng Taoist Palace, then he would have almost no chance to come back alone. He could only stay there, and under the suppression of a more powerful destiny, he would be unable to do anything there.

It would take at least several decades for those two Taoist palaces to successfully merge with the Linjiang Prefecture Taoist Palace, and several decades of time would be wasted just like that.

But if Zhao Guanshan can control the round trip within four years, he will definitely make a profit.

Of course, he could also choose not to do the escort mission, but then he would not be able to distance himself from the competition with the other two. No, in fact, he was still in the second echelon, competing with as many as fifteen people, and he could not even catch up with the two in front.

If he can't catch up, then when the Destiny Seed matures, what advantage will he have in picking it?

Because his surname is Zhao?
It would be better to just lie down.

"Now, there are only three things left."

Zhao Guanshan was thinking that the first thing he had to do was to persuade Tang Zhen and the others to postpone their departure for at least half a year or at least three months, because he needed so much time to comprehend the Wandering Rune.

So the second thing is to comprehend the wandering rune.

The third thing was to practice intensively and refine his pure yang body as much as possible. It was too late to advance to the seventh-level Qi Refiner, or it was impossible to do it. His understanding of the Lihuo Dao Fu was at this level. He could light up the rune stars in advance through energy, but the specific comprehension really required him to do it step by step. There was no shortcut.

When he was in the spirit world before, he would comprehend the Lihuo Dao Talisman whenever he had free time, and he worked diligently, which is how he reached this level.

Next, he calculated the time and did not rush to look for Tang Zhen and others. Instead, he focused on practicing. With the help of the statue, he practiced quickly and refined and absorbed the spiritual energy in the spirit stone. However, this time, all the innate pure yang energy he obtained was used to temper his pure yang body.

In the previous four days, he had successfully tempered his Pure Yang Body to the second level. In other words, he only needed four spirit stones to temper one level.

This speed is much faster because it does not require comprehension and the tempering is also simple. In just one day, Zhao Guanshan successfully tempered the Pure Yang Body to the fifth level.

By the next day, it had been successfully tempered to the eighth level.

On the third day, it took only four hours to successfully refine to the ninth level.

This is a stage.

After the pure yang body has been tempered to the ninth level, even if one does nothing every day, one can recover two breaths of innate pure yang energy on its own.

At the same time, physical strength, agility, defense, resistance to pollution, poison, curse, recovery after injury, etc. can all be doubled.

The most important point is that with the ninth level of Pure Yang Body, the energy consumption of releasing all magical powers will be reduced by about 10%. In short, this is very practical.

This is also the most cost-effective guarantee that almost all high-level Qi Refiners must make.

After all, it only takes thirty-six spirit stones to do it.

The only difference is that Zhao Guanshan only needs two or three days to complete it, while other Qi Refiners need at least three months.

"What a pity, my spiritual stone reserves are still not enough. The first nine-level quenching only requires thirty-six spiritual stones, and the second nine-level quenching requires seventy-two spiritual stones."

Zhao Guanshan felt quite regretful. He himself felt that such rapid intensive training was too addictive.

But in total, he had already used up fifty-three spirit stones.

There are currently twenty-four spirit stones left. If the six pieces that were retained before are added, there are a total of thirty pieces left, which need to be kept as travel expenses on the road.

"Then, it's time to convince Tang Zhen and the others."

Zhao Guanshan packed up, left another letter, took out the misleading rune again, and headed straight for the front line.
