Fire Monster

Chapter 298 One fish and three meals

When Zhao Guanshan walked out of the Chiyin Bunker, he immediately felt more than a dozen pairs of eyes staring at him.

My goodness, we are really waiting outside, afraid that he will run away.

So he didn't say any nonsense, and directly took out an eighth-level dispelling rune from the imperial oil lamp and showed it to everyone. After proving it with facts, he bowed.

"My fellow Taoists, I am glad to have fulfilled your mission. I have already comprehended the eighth-order fire dispelling magical power. We can set off immediately."

At this moment, Zhao Guanshan was more eager to go out to sea than anyone else.

"Wait a minute! Daoist Wuming, did you really condense this eighth-level fire-dispelling rune?"

At this moment, someone suddenly asked hurriedly, and the rest of the people had different expressions, because although they were all looking forward to this matter, the fact that Zhao Guanshan had condensed an eighth-level fire-dispersing rune in less than three months seemed a bit unreliable no matter how you looked at it.

Since when did the eighth-level magical power become so cheap, just to fool children?
Zhao Guanshan sneered when he heard this, "I know what you are thinking, but it doesn't matter. However, I did spend a full month and 15 spirit stones to condense this eighth-level fire dispelling rune."

"It doesn't matter if you don't believe me. I have decided to go out to sea by boat anyway. I don't want to stay in the Linjiangfu Taoist Palace for a moment."

"Wait, could it be that your plans have changed again during this period?"

Zhao Guanshan looked doubtful, he felt that he had found a bunch of stupid teammates.

"Ahem! Fellow Daoist Wuming, please don't misunderstand. Things are not like that." Tang Zhen coughed dryly at this time. He just glanced at that person, and seeing that he remained silent, he stood up directly.

"We are not doubting Daoist Wuming, but the reason why we agreed to Daoist Wuming's change of departure plan is because of the importance of the eighth-level fire dispersing rune. So, since Daoist Wuming can concentrate now, I think, why don't we make better preparations in advance, for example, everyone has an eighth-level fire dispersing rune?"

"Yes, that's right. Daoist Fellow Tang's words really hit my mark. Daoist Fellow Wuming, we think so too. It doesn't matter when we set out to sea. What's important is that we must find the Floating Cloud Daoist Palace safely without losing any manpower. At the very least, we must find other Daoist palaces."

Chen Qing also laughed at this time, and immediately others followed suit.

At this point, Zhao Guanshan also nodded, "That's right. I also think that if everyone can have an eighth-level fire dispelling rune, that would be great. But the cost of condensing this rune is not small. I spent fifteen spirit stones myself--"

"Isn't fifteen spirit stones a bit too much?"

At this moment, the man who was suspected to be a seventh-level Qi Refiner and the real behind-the-scenes commander of this wandering team finally spoke, "Fellow Daoist Wuming, please don't deceive us. Your Qin family's ancestor Qin Wuyuan once condensed a ninth-level rune, and the price he sold was only ten spirit stones. Do you need fifteen spirit stones for an eighth-level fire dispelling?"

Hearing this, Zhao Guanshan smiled in his heart. This is what he was waiting for.

"Alas, how can I compare with a ninth-level Qi Refiner? I am only a sixth-level Qi Refiner. To be honest, the reason why I can comprehend and condense the eighth-level rune is that, on the one hand, I have a little bit of talent in this area, but on the other hand, it is because I have a secret method that cannot be revealed, so the consumption is so serious."

"Secret method? Could it be the method of the evil god?"

The expressions of these Qi Refiners suddenly changed. These days, Qi Refiners hated the invasion of evil gods and were very sensitive to it.

If they could condense the eighth-order rune with the help of the evil god, they would be their mortal enemy!
Absolutely zero tolerance.

“Everyone, I can swear in the name of my Qin family ancestor Qin Wuyuan that my secret method has absolutely nothing to do with the evil god!” Zhao Guanshan shouted hurriedly, looking anxious, but seeing that everyone did not believe him, he gritted his teeth and said, “Well, since we are about to go out to sea by boat, I have nothing to hide. Yes, my secret method is this!”

After saying that, he actually took out his ugly statue that was so ugly that it was unrecognizable.

Before, he was worried about the large number of people and the gossips they might have, but since he discovered that this seemingly loose group was actually organized and managed by a seventh-level Qi Refiner behind the scenes, Zhao Guanshan has looked up to them.

This is also the reason why he wants to take out this statue now, because this wandering team is worth it.

At this moment, everyone was silent. They were all high-level Qi Refiners, so they could see the powerful aura condensed in the statue, and they also understood how it worked.

Although it looks ugly, it is actually no different in essence from the statue of the female immortal that stood in the Taoist temple in Linjiang Prefecture ten years ago.

After a long time, the atmosphere quickly eased, and Chen Qing even joked, "Daoyou Wuming, you are quite courageous. The Dao Palace has now issued a strict ban on the Conferred God Technique. You are clearly committing a crime in defiance of the law."

"So what? I need to practice myself. Rather than not being able to find the origin of the Taoism and letting the evil gods take advantage of me, I might as well find a way to establish the Taoism myself. I'm not afraid of you all knowing that this statue of mine was actually made from materials collected from the ruins of the female immortal's statue."

“These ten years of retreat have been of great help to me.”

"Unfortunately, this is not a long-term solution. Sooner or later, my statue will be discovered by the awakened destiny, and then completely blocked, becoming an ordinary clay sculpture."

"This is also the reason why I decided to follow you guys out to sea on the ship. Once I go out, I may very well risk my life, but I really don't want to stay here."

After hearing Zhao Guanshan's eloquent words, everyone felt the same way, and some even regretted why they didn't have a quicker brain at the beginning. When the five immortal statues were destroyed, as long as some materials were left, it would be enough for them to use. However, it was useless to regret now, but everyone believed Zhao Guanshan's words because the matter was indeed logical.

"Brother Wu Yuan, what do you think?"

At this time, Xu Ayue, who had been silent, also spoke and asked the core figure directly. The other Qi Refiners also quieted down and waited for Wu Yuan's decision.

Zhao Guanshan suddenly realized that the old man's name was Wu Yuan. Hmm, now I remembered that Xiao Chengyun once mentioned that he was one of the most outstanding Qi-refining masters in the Taoist Palace in the past hundred years. If there had not been the subsequent changes, Wu Yuan could have become the rotating head master, and his future growth would even be immeasurable.

As a result, it was interrupted by the forbidden technique of Conferred God.

No wonder he could gather such a bunch of unhappy Qi Refiners.

At this time, Wu Yuan thought for a moment, and then asked solemnly: "Fellow Daoist Wuming, we are all in the same boat now, so let's be frank. Just tell me, if we can ensure that everyone has an eighth-level fire dispelling weapon, how much time and how many spirit stones will it take? Give me an exact number."

"this--"

Zhao Guanshan hesitated for a moment, then frowned and said, "As for time, it will take at least a year, because the process of condensing the runes is also the process of me gaining a deeper understanding of the Fire Dispersing Divine Power. Everyone understands this."

"As for the spirit stones, fifteen will be needed at the beginning, but if it is combined, twelve will be enough. It can't be less. I will definitely not make money from your spirit stones. Anyway, if there is any surplus in the end, I will return it to you."

"There is one more thing I must explain. My statue will be useless once you leave Linjiang Prefecture. So I really suggest that if you want the eighth-level fire dispelling spell, it's best to do it before you set out. Otherwise, once you set out, there will be no choice but to provide you with the seventh-level fire dispelling spell."

"Okay! That's settled. We'll need fifteen more rank eight fire dispelling runes. Let alone a year, we'll have to stay for another year and a half. As for spirit stones, we'll calculate the price at twelve each. I have thirty spirit stones here. Daoist Wuming, you take them first. The rest of you can give them to me. I'll give you the spirit stones in one hand and the runes in the other."

"But in this case, we can't just sit there and wait. From now on, everyone will be divided into groups and take turns to protect Fellow Daoist Wuming. Everyone else will enter the Devil Fire Abyss and continue hunting the Twilight Dust Moth."

"Who has any objections?"

"No, I'll follow Senior Brother Wu Yuan's instructions."

Everyone responded loudly. Wu Yuan's prestige was extremely high. This made them look like a united wandering team.

Zhao Guanshan also solemnly took the thirty spirit stones and said very openly:

"Please rest assured, Senior Brother Wu Yuan, and all fellow Taoists, I will hand over this eighth-level fire dispelling rune to Senior Brother Wu Yuan first."

"So good!"

Wu Yuan carefully took the eighth-level Fire Rune and tried to activate it slightly. He immediately nodded excitedly. Yes, that's right, it was a pure eighth-level Fire Dispersing Rune. There was no doubt about it. There would be no interference from the evil gods.

For a moment, he looked at the statue in Zhao Guanshan's hand and became even more envious. Really, why didn't he think of it? At the beginning, he only needed a little trick to solve the most basic problem.

What a pity, what a pity.

Afterwards, everyone was happy and full of motivation.

Zhao Guanshan also returned to the Chiyin Bunker, looking as if he was determined to work hard for three hundred days to create new glory for our wandering team.

However, after he sat cross-legged in meditation, entered into a state of concentration and visualization, and entered the world of visualization, he finally couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Because, just now, he actually received a huge amount of destiny and merit.

The reason was that he successfully persuaded the wandering team to stay.

I don’t know whether the Destiny Tree is unable to make judgments, or whether there is a time limit.

In short, he completed a mission destined for him without knowing what was going on.

In this way, doesn't it mean that one year later, he can still obtain another amount of destiny merit from the escort mission?

Add to that the income from selling the eighth-level dispel, wow, one thing actually brought triple benefits!
As for the cost of condensing an eighth-level dispelling rune, it only requires five breaths of innate pure yang energy, and not a single spirit stone is used.

But there is no way, this is the technological dividend brought by more advanced magical powers.

I don't fleece the wool, I'm just a carrier of the wool.
