Fire Monster

Chapter 300 Going to sea
Time flies, and six months have passed.

Zhao Guanshan could exchange twelve spirit stones every month in exchange for an eighth-level dispelling rune.

In order to make it more realistic, he would choose to deliver the goods two or three days earlier after three months.

This time, no one doubted his ability anymore, and he basically became a real member of this wandering team, the kind that deserves complete trust.

Because the eighth-rank fire-dispelling rune he handed in was praised by everyone for its effectiveness, Xu Ayue even used it to refine the Wood Spirit Pill five times in a row. Wu Yuanze personally led the refining of the Five Elements Spirit Pill three times and gave three to Zhao Guanshan for free.

This is a really good thing. After taking it, a fake small Five Elements Golden Elixir cyclone will temporarily form in the body. After twelve hours, the body will have the combat power and survivability comparable to that of an eighth-level Qi Refiner.

That’s right, Wu Yuan and the others also know the Small Five Elements Golden Elixir Taoism, and it was also passed down by immortals. Normally speaking, as long as one advances to the seventh level of Qi Refiner, the Taoist Palace will teach it for free.

But unfortunately, even Wu Yuan today, because of the forbidden technique of Conferring the Gods, has learned the Small Five Elements Golden Elixir Taoism, and cannot practice it in peace. Without the guidance and protection of immortal statues, it is easy for evil spirits to take advantage of the opportunity.

Therefore, he could only settle for the next best thing and make up for it by refining the Five Elements Elixir.

According to Wu Yuan, each of them has currently accumulated ten Five Elements Elixirs, and he promised Zhao Guanshan that he would be able to get two more Five Elements Elixirs before setting off.

To be honest, Wu Yuan is really not a bad person. Not only is he talented, has great potential, and is highly accomplished, he is also a good person. He is decisive, has a good sense of the overall situation, and is fair in his dealings. He is simply a natural leader.

After just a few contacts, Zhao Guanshan was basically convinced.

Of course, the wool that needs to be transported cannot be less.

After all, wool will eventually be used on sheep. Is Zhao Guanshan's escort just for himself?

And six months was enough time for him to complete the comprehension of the two main runes: the sixth-level Demon-Suppression and the sixth-level Explosion.

There is no need to say much about the sixth-level burst. It is the main output attack and the main rune. It is extremely powerful. Subsequent runes include terrifying moves such as Skyfire Meteor.

The sixth level Demon Suppression is a very standard control system. Through control, it forms a complete state of suppression on the target from the inside out.

The Demon-Suppressing Net was created with reference to the Demon-Suppressing Runes.

Of course, there are also runes for suppressing demons of all series, so there are not only Lihuo Demon Suppression, but also Qingmu Demon Suppression, Qianjin Demon Suppression, Xuanwu Demon Suppression, and Genshan Demon Suppression.

Each system's demon-suppressing power has its own characteristics, but there is no doubt that if the five systems' demon-suppressing power can be combined, it will become the five-element demon-suppressing power, which will be more effective.

At this point, Zhao Guanshan can practice the Small Five Elements Golden Elixir Taoism.

However, he was not in a hurry to practice, but decided to practice intensively once more to temper his pure yang body to the ninth level.

These nine levels require seventy-two spirit stones, and Zhao Guanshan just happens to have some in excess.

There was nothing to hesitate about. While someone was protecting him for free, he began intensive training.

By absorbing the spiritual energy from the spirit stone and converting it into innate pure yang energy through ten times the practice, and then tempering it all into the physical body, this process is not difficult.

With Zhao Guanshan's intensive training speed, he can temper one layer in about a day.

For nine consecutive days, he consumed a total of seventy-two spirit stones and successfully tempered his pure yang body to the eighteenth level.

At this point, he could recover three breaths of innate pure yang energy on his own every day.

In this state, the energy consumption of releasing various fire-related magical powers can be reduced by another 10%. Together, it can be reduced by 20%. This is very important. In a complex and dangerous environment, you can make one more attack or hold out for one more day.

In addition, Zhao Guanshan's condition in all aspects has also doubled.

Even without using his innate pure yang energy, even without wearing the sealed armor, and without any protection, his current physical body could look directly into and come into direct contact with a tenth-order evil demon without being contaminated.

His physical strength and power are probably enough to punch through the composite armor of a Level 4 Imperially Seal Chariot with one punch.

In other words, even in terms of pure physical strength, he is already comparable to a ninth-order demon.

"So cultivating immortality is really good!"

Zhao Guanshan couldn't help but sigh that this feeling of constantly becoming stronger was really good.

"It would be great if I could temper it nine more times before setting off, so that I can reach the twenty-seventh level of tempering."

He thought with some anticipation, but he didn't hold out much hope, because the third round of nine-level tempering would require one hundred and eight spirit stones.

This number is an astronomical figure for most Qi Refiners.

This really requires real money.

Next, Zhao Guanshan replenished three eighth-level dispelling runes in one breath and began to practice the Small Five Elements Golden Elixir Taoism. The core of this method is to condense a Small Five Elements Golden Elixir in the Dantian of the Qi Refiner.

Through this small five-element golden elixir, a small world of its own is created within the physical body, and through the rotation of the five elements, both inside and outside are filled.

In a word, self-sufficiency gives you confidence.

This small Five Elements Golden Elixir method does not have powerful combat abilities, but it can allow Qi Refiners to get rid of their dependence on the outside world to a certain extent.

Because the small five elements golden elixir can generate a small amount of spiritual energy by itself.

Even if this amount of spiritual energy cannot supply all of one's needs, it is still great.

Therefore, Zhao Guanshan felt that the guy who created this Five Elements Golden Elixir Taoism was absolutely awesome. It was simply tailor-made for the Dharma Ending Age, the barren era after the collapse of the immortal cultivation world.

Who says that we Qigong practitioners must be noble, graceful, handsome and cool? Living a humble life is better than anything else.

The more Zhao Guanshan practiced, the more shocked he was, and the more he admired the immortal who created this method.

I don't know if it was because he had good aptitude or because he had a solid foundation to start with, but he easily mastered the cultivation of this method, without any ups and downs, no sudden changes, no unexpected twists and turns, it was straightforward, simple and easy to cultivate.

Next, Zhao Guanshan completed the basic part of the Small Five Elements Golden Elixir Taoism after only twelve days of practice, and successfully formed a cyclone in the dantian of his physical body.

His innate pure yang energy will be continuously drawn into this cyclone, and gradually grow stronger and thicker. After nine times of tempering, he can obtain a small five-element golden elixir.

Of course, this is a very, very long process.

Because Taoism is simple and easy to get started, it does not mean that the core of Taoism is simple and easy to practice.

According to Zhao Guanshan's own estimation, if he wanted to refine this small Five Elements Golden Pill, he would need at least three thousand spirit stones, which was very scary.

Fortunately, as long as you cultivate the initial small five-element cyclone, it will be effective.

Like now, this small five-element cyclone can generate a breath of innate pure yang energy for Zhao Guanshan every day.

Coupled with the self-generating effect of the pure yang body, one can steadily absorb four breaths of innate pure yang energy every day.

Very good.

What follows is a very long and protracted period of practice.

Or, make some fortune...

In this way, another eight months passed, and Zhao Guanshan successfully handed over fifteen eighth-level fire-dispelling runes.

Wu Yuan kept his word and delivered him a total of 180 spirit stones.

Overall, this was a transaction that made both parties very satisfied.

Wu Yuan and others refined the Five Elements Elixir three more times for this purpose, and Zhao Guanshan, after some consideration, chose to temper his Pure Yang Body through nine more layers, bringing the number of tempering layers to twenty-seven in one go.

But the price was that he only had nine spirit stones left.

"Fellow Daoist Wuming, you have worked hard this year. Can you take some time off to adjust your condition?"

Wu Yuan now likes Zhao Guanshan very much, and so do the others.

"Brother Wu Yuan, I think we'd better set off as soon as possible. During this period of time, I feel that the statue in my hand has become increasingly sluggish, as if it has fallen into a spider web and cannot struggle out. The Lihuo Dao Talisman I sense is also becoming increasingly pale and blurred. The Dao tradition passed down by the immortals is moving away from us."

Zhao Guanshan looked weak, he was telling the truth, he didn't know what was wrong. In the past two months, he didn't dare to visualize the world and the statue space. It felt like the space between the reality and the spiritual world was once again sealed by an unknown force.

"Alas, the two rotating masters of the Dao Palace issued a number of orders not long ago and formulated a number of measures to implement the forbidden art of conferring the gods more deeply."

"Yes, it is indeed time for us to leave."

Wu Yuan nodded, "Fellow Daoist Wuming, we have already prepared everything we need to prepare, but you have been busy condensing the eighth-level Lihuo Dao Talisman over the past year, so it is inevitable that you are not well prepared. Therefore, we have joined forces to create some imperial seal instruments for you, and come and have a look."

At this time, Tang Zhen, Chen Qing and others also came over with some artifacts.

"Fellow Daoist Wuming, from now on, we are fellow travelers who depend on each other for life and death. We have misunderstood you before, please don't take it to heart. It's just a small token of our respect."

Tang Zhen handed over a set of Imperial Sealed Armor. "This is the sixth-level Imperial Sealed Armor that was once worn by Qi Refiners in the Taoist Palace. It has a very good effect in preventing evil spirits. There are five runes built into it, two fifth-level Genshan Runes, one fifth-level Xuanqing Purification Rune, one fifth-level Broken Star Rune, and one empty one. You can take a look at what runes are built into it when you have time."

"Normally speaking, a level six imperial seal armor like this would be worth five spirit stones. I'm giving it to you now."

"Haha, there are also these three sealed swords. They were all forged by us in the seventh-level Spiritual Offering Tower. They are genuine Class A sealed magical instruments. Each of them can be engraved with five attack runes. However, we did not give them to you on your own. After all, you are also a Qi Refiner of the Lihuo Element, and the Lihuo Explosion Rune is first-rate."

"Thank you all, fellow Taoists. I am very grateful!"

Zhao Guanshan thanked him repeatedly.

"You're welcome. Let's go. Our ship is now parked in the Devil's Fire Abyss."

Wu Yuan gave an order, took a step forward, and fled away with his sword.

A group of sixteen Qi Refiners, like geese separated from the flock, embarked on this unknown journey without hesitation.

Further away, there were two rotating masters of the Linjiang Prefecture Taoist Palace and a dozen Five Elements Qi Refiners seeing them off from afar.

No matter what, we are in the same boat and I am afraid we may never see each other again in this life, so it is only natural for me to come and see you off.

"Hey, that guy, is he Qin Wuming?"

A rotating head teacher suddenly frowned and looked at Zhao Guanshan with some confusion.

The seventh-level misleading is already difficult to conceal from an eighth-level Qi Refiner.

Zhao Guanshan had been hiding before and had not been discovered, but now he was exposed at a glance.

"No, this man's surname should be Zhao. If I remember correctly, his name is Zhao Guanshan. More than ten years ago, in the Demon Suppression Department and the Provincial Administration Department, there was a little girl named Xiao Chengyun who had some connection with this man. But as I remember, he was a mortal. How did he become a sixth-level Qi Refiner now?"

"The surname is Zhao, I'm afraid it's the remnant of the Zhao family!"

The two rotating masters looked at each other, but then acted as if nothing had happened. They wanted to show mercy while they could. Now that destiny was about to awaken, there was no need to kill the Zhao family.

What's more, the other party has already chosen to go out to sea by boat.

Then let’s start and end well.

But the two of them didn't know that at this moment Zhao Guanshan's heart was suddenly shocked. He suddenly discovered that out of thin air, even without visualizing the world, he could sense that the Destiny Tree in his background suddenly grew seventeen branches, which looked more and more like a big net.
