Fire Monster

Chapter 340 The Immortal is Alive
"Master Zhao, the third question from the government is, are you willing to make this mechanical talisman available to the public for a fee?"

The government was quite cunning and temporarily changed the third question to this.

Although they were more worried about the monster, they obviously knew that Zhao Guanshan, the Qi Refiner, was the more irreconcilable with the monster, so asking too much would only make things worse, so it was better to proceed from reality.

Not bad.

Anyway, Zhao Guanshan was quite satisfied.

"Pay? Not necessary. In fact, I value the law of fate more. I will put the mechanical talisman here. Those who are destined to understand it will naturally be able to sense and comprehend it. Those who are not destined to understand it will find it difficult to make any progress even if they pay a lot of money. That's it."

After that, Zhao Guanshan no longer answered any questions. He just equipped Daliang, his wife, and his son with a chariot each. Then, he left without paying any attention to everyone's attempts to keep him, and disappeared in everyone's sight.

At this point, everything he needed to do has been basically arranged, so there is no need for him to keep appearing in front of mortals. As for if the destiny wants to attack, he will naturally fight at the first opportunity, but there will be no other result except a draw.

In short, this is not the perfect start Zhao Guanshan hoped for, but it is still acceptable to give it an excellent evaluation.

And now, he can finally practice normally in peace.

That's right, he had been struggling for so long, from the Linjiang Prefecture Taoist Palace more than ten years ago, since he went to the spiritual world, everything was to create an external, stable and safe environment for cultivation.

Speaking of it, in this world and this era, it is really difficult to practice with peace of mind and without any worries.

Without spiritual energy and spiritual stones, it is impossible to advance.

Even with the spiritual energy and spiritual stones, the evil god came to make trouble again.

If the Taoism is unstable and there is no lighthouse to illuminate the way forward, then one would not dare to practice, otherwise one would not know where one would end up.

Fortunately, these difficulties have been basically solved now. Although we are only separated from the evil god Tianming and can't do anything to each other, this still constitutes a good environment for cultivation.

Among these, the mechanical talisman provided him the greatest help.

For example, in Linjiang Prefecture, the number of people who have comprehended the mechanical Taoist talismans and become mechanical martial artists has exceeded the thousand mark.

With the rescue and excavation efforts of Lu Tiancheng and others, the orthodox Lihuo Qi-refining practitioners have successfully reached the 1,000-person mark. One of the important reasons for this is that they can now go to the spiritual world.

With the statue of the Lihuo Immortal as a beacon, there is no need to worry about getting lost when going to the spiritual world. With enough spiritual ashes, cultivating Lihuo-type Qi-refining practitioners is like wholesale cabbage.

Even though most of them are accompanying students to study, for them personally, cultivation is just a dream, but for the statue of the Lihuo Immortal, it is a spark that can start a prairie fire.

That’s right, in a sense, these are all tools Zhao Guanshan uses to stabilize the external cultivation environment.

The same goes for what he is doing here right now.

He left behind a mechanical talisman, saying that those who are destined to understand it will understand it, but it was all a lie.

As long as one is young, strong, smart and knowledgeable, one can definitely form some kind of resonance with the Mechanical Talisman, and then spend several months, years, or even more than ten years to realize success.

Zhao Guanshan is not surprised at all that more than 100,000 mechanical warriors will appear here in the future.

Zhao Guanshan didn't care at all about defeating the Evil God of Destiny, killing his way to the other side, and unifying the Zhenhai Dao Palace.

He couldn't kill the evil god and obtain the seed of destiny now. Only when he advanced to the ninth level of Qi Refiner and survived the life-threatening catastrophe would he be qualified to seize the seed of destiny.

Before that, it was all just empty talk.

It is better to practice with peace of mind.

When Zhao Guanshan appeared again, he had become a middle-aged man with gray hair and a slightly vicissitudes of life. He simply rented a remote house, paid rent for three years, and used it as his retreat place.

Afterwards, he decorated the house a little and sat cross-legged in the room, meditating and concentrating his mind for three days and three nights. This is another higher form of incense burning and bathing.

That is, it has already been detached from the actual external form. As long as you calm your mind and concentrate to a certain degree, you will not be affected even if you are in a filthy and dirty place.

And, this actually works much better.

The mortal city is full of worldly affairs and trivial matters. Children play, cars come and go, people quarrel and quarrel in the market, it is a mess. The ordinary burning of incense and bathing can not calm the mind and it is easier to be disturbed.

At this moment, Zhao Guanshan first entered the world of visualization.

After a long time, there was a new change here. That was the Lihuo Dao Talisman, which was as bright as the sun, and was bound to his life fire, and the fusion was much deeper.

This is great news, well worth his ten years of hard work.

Isn't the ultimate goal of a Qi Refiner to cultivate the life fire?

The reason for this change is the growth of the statue of Lihuo Immortal.

That’s right, the fire of wisdom within the statue’s space is so strong that it’s about to overflow.

As soon as Zhao Guanshan entered, he found that everything had changed, too much.

First of all, the statue of Xiao Chengyun was obviously promoted to the next level, which meant that she had successfully cultivated to the sixth level of Qi Refiner in reality.

There was no change in Liu Yuwei's statue, and it was still at level five. Of course, this was because Zhao Guanshan had previously instructed her not to practice anymore, and she could only continue practicing after the huge hidden danger of the Qingmu system was resolved.

They are still Zhao Guanshan's strong backstage support. Even if they do nothing themselves, they can just practice there with peace of mind.

The reason behind this is the Small Five Elements Golden Elixir Dao.

A cultivation direction that was forced to be interrupted. At present, Zhao Guanshan's cultivation realm is the sixth-level Qi Refiner, with 110 innate pure Yang Qi in his body, and the number of Pure Yang Body Refining Layers is the 27th layer. He can generate three innate pure Yang Qi every day, and then add the small five-element Qi cyclone cultivated by the small five-element golden elixir, and he can generate another innate pure Yang Qi every day.

This is his current situation.

Next, his daily practice will be divided into four parts.

The first part is to condense the innate pure yang energy and move towards the level of a seventh-level Qi Refiner. This is a very important step, and it is a process of understanding, analyzing, and comprehending deeper knowledge.

Without comprehension and understanding, you will not be able to obtain stronger magical powers.

For example, the Lihuo Dispersal, Lihuo Explosion, Lihuo Demon Suppression, and even the continued practice of the Small Five Elements Golden Elixir, all rely on this.

This is the basis.

The second part is to temper the pure yang body. The importance of this is self-evident, it is a must.

The third part is to practice simultaneously to enhance the life fire in preparation for overcoming the future life calamity.

The fourth part is to practice the Small Five Elements Golden Elixir Dao.

It is impossible for the four parts to go hand in hand.

It can only be divided into two echelons. Parts one, two and three can practice at the same time, but they need a large amount of spirit stones. Practicing the Small Five Elements Golden Elixir also requires a large amount of spirit stones and a lot of time.

Zhao Guanshan himself estimated that if he could cultivate to Lu Tiancheng's level, it would take at least a hundred years, and at least five thousand spirit stones.

But if one wants to achieve success in the Small Five Elements Golden Elixir Dao, one must obtain eight thousand spirit stones and it will take at least one hundred and fifty years.

Yes, Lu Tiancheng had not achieved anything in the path of the Small Five Elements Golden Elixir, otherwise he would not have retired to become an old janitor with a weird temper and a heavy drink.

These one hundred and fifty years are nothing. Now, through the layers of tempering of the Pure Yang Body, plus the strength of the Qi Refiner's Life Fire, it is estimated that the upper limit of his lifespan is about five hundred years.

Only the eight thousand spirit stones made Zhao Guanshan shocked.

Fortunately, this problem has been solved.

That’s right, the Lihuo Immortal Statue is integrated with the mechanical Taoist talisman and the eighth-level spirit supply tower, and the result is that it can refine spiritual energy more efficiently.

It is even more outstanding and awesome than the nine-level spirit-worshiping tower in Zhenhai Dao Palace.

According to optimistic estimates, Zhao Guanshan can be provided with about one hundred spirit stones every year, which is more than enough for his daily practice.

It can be said that he has already done everything that needed to be laid out and prepared, inside and out.

At this moment, he looked at the statue of the female immortal in the statue space again. His original intention was to use the fire of wisdom to light up the third branch rune, that is to increase the chance of the Lihuo system cultivators to pass the life fire, but for some reason, at this moment, he actually had a strange feeling, as if there were four other selves in the dark.

Zhao Guanshan was startled and immediately avoided the eyes of the female fairy. The strange feeling disappeared instantly.

"It shouldn't be the other four me, but the four people who have the same situation as me."

Zhao Guanshan thought quickly in his mind. The female immortal Mei Xun once said that before the collapse of the immortal cultivation world, five immortals left behind their Taoist traditions and secret keys. There were hundreds of these keys. The original intention was to avoid being caught in one fell swoop. Now, after many trials and tribulations, most of the key holders have become unknown, but there is still a small number of key holders who are getting stronger and stronger.

There is no need to mention the holders of the secret keys of the other four Taoist traditions.

Currently, there are five of them who hold the secret key of the Lihuo Taoist sect alone.

The reason why he could feel it at this time was because he had entered a new level, so he inevitably encountered it.

Will there be competition between them?

Or merge?

In their statue space, are there also female fairies logged in as NPC female teammates?
Zhao Guanshan frowned slightly, not for any other reason. There used to be a statue of the Lihuo Immortal in every Taoist temple.

After thinking for a while, he looked into the eyes of the female fairy statue again, and that subtle feeling reappeared and became stronger and stronger, so that he could directly sense the location of one of the key holders.

He is in Tianlong Taoist Palace, what's going on?

Before Zhao Guanshan could react, he found that he had directly crossed a certain level and possessed the statue space of the key holder.

But there are no statues of female immortals here, only five statues of male and female gods, four males and one female.

What's even more bizarre is that the one who holds the secret key is that woman. She seemed to have sensed something and came to the statue space as soon as possible. Then, she looked behind Zhao Guanshan with a look of shock.

Or maybe she didn't see Zhao Guanshan at all.

Behind me?
Zhao Guanshan was stunned. When he turned around, he saw a living, breathing, real female fairy floating there.

"Fairy..."

"Thank you and your family for keeping the Fire Key for me. Now it's time to return it to its rightful owner."

A voice sounded faintly. It was pleasant to the ear, but it was like a dream, without any trace.

Then, Zhao Guanshan watched as an imperial oil lamp flew out of the woman's body, and the space of her statue collapsed and ceased to exist.

Although this will not cause any harm to her personally, the four NPC male teammates she has logged in with in the past will be like waking up from a dream. However, Zhao Guanshan is not interested in knowing what will happen in detail.
