Fire Monster

Chapter 308: Concealing the truth
Soon, order was restored on the ship.

The main thing is that the four level-four spirit-supplying towers are still in operation, so as long as there is no terrifying tide of demonic fire or a large number of high-level demons, they will be able to hold on.

After checking it out, Zhao Guanshan immediately reported the situation of the spirit tower to Wu Jin.

"Senior, the Level 6 Spiritual Supply Tower has been severely damaged. It is impossible to repair it. We might as well rebuild it. But if we do that, our stockpiled materials will be insufficient. Unless we go to the Linjiang Prefecture Dao Palace to buy more, it will take at least three months to rebuild it."

"Time is not a problem, Fellow Daoist Guanshan, if we move the Spirit Offering Pagoda from the Qingcheng Dao Palace back, will it be enough?"

Wu Jin asked calmly, his eyes calm and determined.

Although he was not very clear about what happened at the end of the battle, he had some sense of it, so now he did not want to return to the Linjiang Prefecture Taoist Palace at all.

"It should be feasible, but it's a bit too big to be carried aboard. I suggest we use the magic net to tie it up and pull it to our ship."

Zhao Guanshan said, while his eyes fell on the wreckage of the Qingcheng Taoist Palace which was also floating in the devilish fire. That thing, even at this moment, was still as big as ten large ships.

"Okay! I'll leave this matter to Fellow Daoist Guanshan. You don't have to worry about the rest. If you need anything, just let me know."

Wu Jin nodded and walked away. Now he trusted Zhao Guanshan even more.

Because if they still had the possibility of returning to the Linjiang Prefecture Taoist Palace, then Zhao Guanshan, as the remnant of the Zhao family, would have completely cut off his retreat.

Next, Zhao Guanshan did not hesitate. He controlled a fourth-level spirit-supplying tower and stored fifty demon-suppressing nets in one breath. Then, he pulled the demon-suppressing nets while performing fire escape, passing through the demonic fire and arriving at the ruins of the Qingcheng Taoist Palace.

Here, he fixed the fifty Demon-Suppressing Nets, then returned to the ship and controlled the Spirit Supply Tower to output spiritual energy, straightening and shrinking the Demon-Suppressing Nets.

In this way, the remains of the Qingcheng Taoist Palace were eventually pulled closer, and then with the cooperation of others, more Demon-Suppressing Nets were thrown out to completely fix it.

At this point, Zhao Guanshan began to collect demolition materials from the remains of the palace.

The one on top is an eight-level spirit-offering tower, which was originally functioning normally but has now been completely destroyed.

To this end, Wu Jin and others personally inspected and confirmed it several times.

It's a pity, the eighth-level spirit-offering tower. If it could be moved to a large ship, then this voyage would be a safe bet.

Zhao Guanshan also felt regretful because the eight-level spirit-offering tower was really badly damaged.

"It seems that the evil god also knew that the technical parameters of the Level 8 Spiritual Supply Tower must not be leaked. At such an urgent moment, the Level 8 Spiritual Supply Tower must be destroyed first."

Wu Yuan also ran over to observe carefully, but found nothing.

"Yeah, it's a pity that the souls of those survivors were drained by the evil god, and we can't get anything out of them. Otherwise, we wouldn't have to go through so much trouble."

Just like that, in the end all the members of the team took time out in the next few days to come and observe and investigate. After all, everyone was very curious.

But the end result is always regrettable.

Then, only Zhao Guanshan was left there, constantly dismantling and collecting materials, very calmly and skillfully.

There was no ripple in his heart. Ever since he set foot on the ruins of the Taoist palace, he had been simulating his own mentality, hiding all his thoughts and not thinking about them at all, as if he was a blank paper man.

Because after having a face-to-face conversation with the thing that called itself a 'devil', Zhao Guanshan was certainly shocked by everything that thing said, but at the same time he also felt that he had suffered a great loss, that is, part of his thoughts and part of his memories were reflected and seen by the other party.

In addition, why was the eight-level spirit-offering pagoda on the ruins of this Taoist palace so badly damaged?

Is this just a coincidence?

In short, this time he learned from his experience and lessons and began to consciously close his soul and thoughts.

Unfortunately, he only has three soul armor pieces, which can only protect his most important and core thoughts and memories, otherwise it should be easier.

In this way, Zhao Guanshan gradually became a mindless tool.

I felt awkward at first, but after a few days I got used to it and started to appreciate it.

There are a lot of materials that need to be collected and dismantled from the ruins of this palace, and occasionally complete parts can be dismantled.

If the master craftsmen of the Demon Suppression Bureau discovered this, they would jump up in excitement.

But Zhao Guanshan seemed not to have seen it and simply hid it among the demolition materials.

If Wu Jin, Wu Yuan and others had more patience and participated in the demolition process, this complete component would not have been concealed.

Therefore, the destruction of that evil god was not thorough and comprehensive enough.

In this way, more and more miscellaneous materials were dismantled, and occasionally a complete component could be dismantled and piled on the ship, almost forming a small mountain.

Occasionally, Wu Jin would ask, and Zhao Guanshan would answer truthfully that the high-pressure spiritual energy was not enough, and all these miscellaneous materials needed to be irradiated and impacted with high-pressure spiritual energy, and then remade on the operating table. Therefore, what was originally expected to be done in three months might take six months.

Wu Jin was not anxious about this, he still highly recognized Zhao Guanshan's skills.

Just like that, Zhao Guanshan worked non-stop for half a month, day and night, and almost completely dismantled the incomplete eight-level spirit supply tower of the Qingcheng Taoist Palace. Only then, in theory, did he successfully gather the materials to redeploy the six-level spirit supply tower. Then, just when he was about to stop temporarily, he unexpectedly found a spirit ash bag at the bottom of the eight-level spirit supply tower, which contained exactly one thousand spirit stones.

"Grass!"

At this moment, Zhao Guanshan cursed, and his originally calm, blank mind was finally "broken".

He's 'broken'.

He really didn't expect that the thing was so trustworthy. It said it would send him a thousand spirit stones, and it really sent him a thousand. He had never been so generous in his life.

At this moment, he had to try very hard to restrain himself from dancing, but even so, he was still shaking with excitement and extremely excited, with his face distorted with excessive excitement.

Even after a few seconds, he couldn't help wiping his eyes. Damn, what does it feel like to be so excited that you want to cry!

Developed!
Developed!
His mind was full of such thoughts and such voices.

It took him more than ten seconds to gradually return to normal, but he still couldn't help but smile foolishly occasionally.

So much so that he didn't even notice that there was something strange about the bag of ash.

Finally, he returned to the ship. At this time, there was no sign of any change in him. He began to deploy the upgrade of the new sixth-level spirit supply tower in an orderly manner, as if he was really eager to rush to the Zhenhai Palace to earn the next thousand spirit stones.

It was so busy that even Wu Jin didn't notice anything.

But in the intervals between his busy schedule, Zhao Guanshan would suddenly take out dozens of spirit stones from the ash bag and use them to irradiate and purify the miscellaneous materials.

This behavior is too extravagant.

But the effect will undoubtedly be very good, and the efficiency will be very fast.

Of course, every time he did this, he would choose a specific time to avoid Wu Jin, Wu Yuan and others, and even cleverly avoided the bag of ash.

He would often consume dozens of spirit stones at a time, and in a very short period of time he could upgrade and produce at least hundreds of key components, which he would then quickly assemble into a large component that looked nothing special.

People who don’t understand won’t be able to understand it, even advanced Qi-refining masters like Wu Jin and Wu Yuan.

Because the systems are completely different, there's really nothing special about it until the psychic powers start working.

In particular, the standard of the materials he used were all Destiny Level 608. This kind of high-level material could delay the penetration of inspiration to the greatest extent. In other words, even Wu Jin would not be able to perceive the interior in detail unless he took it apart again.

But isn't that just a joke?
So even though they came here several times every day, they were still deceived by Zhao Guanshan.

Of course Zhao Guanshan had no bad intentions, he just had some small ideas.

As time went by, the foundation of the sixth-level spirit-supplying tower was taking shape, which also included part of the foundation of the previous tower. But no one knew that these undamaged parts of the foundation were also upgraded and strengthened to the Destiny Level 608 by Zhao Guanshan using spirit stones. It was originally the Destiny Level 304, a standard sixth-level spirit-supplying tower.

Well, what bad intentions could he have?

Everything was going on in an orderly manner. The mountain of miscellaneous materials was still huge, but some complete parts buried in it would be assembled on the spirit tower by Zhao Guanshan silently, which greatly increased the speed of his deployment upgrade.

When the foundation of the spirit-offering pagoda was completed, it was already obvious that it was somewhat different from the sixth-level spirit-offering pagoda.

However, Wu Jin, Wu Yuan and others didn't quite understand, or occasionally wondered why it was different from the last time. Zhao Guanshan also casually explained that some important components were permanently damaged, so they had to choose to lower the standards and adopt alternative plans, hoping that the performance would not be affected.

Anyway, this is the heritage of my Zhao family. If you don’t believe it, just come. If you don’t accept it, why don’t you come and fight?
Zhao Guanshan, who has the final right of interpretation, is impeccable.

By the time the main body of the spirit tower was finally assembled, two months had passed, which was very different from the six months he had said before.

When Wu Jin, Wu Yuan and others came, Zhao Guanshan looked serious and even a little nervous.

"You'd better be mentally prepared. Because of the lack of key components, I have adopted a backup plan, but I am not sure whether it can be lit. If something goes wrong, the spirit tower will still explode. Therefore, I want to retreat for a month to conduct a comprehensive and in-depth review of this backup plan."

"It's as it should be. No problem, Fellow Daoist Guanshan, don't be anxious. I told you, what we have the most is time. Please don't blow it up again."

Wu Jin deeply agreed with this. He still remembered clearly the last time the Spirit Offering Pagoda exploded, and he dared not make any mistakes again.

Others also spoke up to encourage him. No one wanted to blow it up again, and this level six spirit supply tower was too damn complicated and too powerful.

Last time, the evil god was used as a target and absorbed a large amount of high-pressure spiritual energy. Who will stop him this time?
