Fire Monster

Chapter 362 Limit
“It feels more like a transaction.”

"But why is the ashes of Skull Mountain right here? The blue deer can come and go freely, but why does it have to go through the middleman?"

Zhao Guanshan could only think of one reason, karma.

Although this Skull Mountain is very special and the karmic debt contained in the rocks and ashes is very small, when accumulated over time it is actually quite considerable.

For example, in order to strengthen the Purple Fire Dagger to +16, he actually passively absorbed a lot of karmic debt, and then had to use the karmic hourglass to offset it.

Although his twenty-eight golden merit sand grains have not yet revealed their health bars, they will probably do so sooner or later.

Next, Zhao Guanshan continued to chisel rocks and collect ashes. Although it was boring, he enjoyed it.

Until one day, after he mined a piece of rock, he actually found a drop of bright red immortal blood.

This was the first drop he had found in this Skull Mountain. It looked exceptionally bright, gurgling among the rocks, with a faint flash of light, and looked very tempting.

Zhao Guanshan stood in front of the rock for a full half hour, struggling with all kinds of thoughts and struggles, but in the end, he used supreme willpower to walk away, turned around, and mined in another direction.

Because the blood of immortals is certainly extremely good and has a great effect on his physical practice, but now he has a deep understanding of the karma system, so he understands more and more that under normal circumstances, this kind of opportunity sent by heaven and various adventures are naturally excellent. Once triggered, they can lead to success and become a winner in life.

Maybe until death, the related karma will not arise, it will be like getting it for free, it will be so comfortable and great.

Who likes to work hard? Who doesn’t like to get something for nothing? Isn’t 9999 for one knife great?
But that was in the past, when the karma system had not exploded. Now it is no longer the case. The karma system is full of traps and hidden mines.

Even if it was not a trap secretly set by Lao Liu, it was actually no different from a trap.

You take too much for no reason and think that everything is perfect, but little do you know that karma has already marked a price.

The same is true for Zhao Guanshan who is mining ash here at the moment.

To be honest, at present, mining ash is the most cost-effective karma activity, and it naturally comes with several BUFFs.

For example, this mountain of skulls could very well be the original sin hanging on a street lamp.

For example, the original owner of Skull Mountain has died, and most of his karmic debt has been dissipated with his death.

For another example, this is actually taking from the people and using it for the people.

How this immortal once collected all kinds of natural treasures and cultivated his immortal body, and now he is returning the favor.

"So now that I have this spiritual ash, it is not enough to just use my golden merit sand to offset it. I also have to establish a karmic cycle that can form a positive feedback loop, just like the deal between the blue deer and me. But it seems like something is still missing?"

Zhao Guanshan couldn’t figure it out, or even if he did, it would be useless. The collapse of the karma system was not something he could solve alone. At the moment, he just wanted to escape from the pursuit of the fallen female immortal, that’s all.

In this way, Zhao Guanshan worked as a miner with peace of mind. He resolutely refused to touch the blood of immortals and only mined spiritual ash. When he spent more than a month to strengthen the purple fire dagger to +16, as expected, the blue deer came again, but this time it was more listless and even had a wound on its body. The only thing that remained unchanged was its clear eyes.

Zhao Guanshan didn't say anything more. He stretched out the purple fire dagger, and the blue deer stood on it, just like a drowning man who finally grabbed a straw and finally had a chance to breathe fresh air.

It was like a person who had traveled thousands of miles and had nowhere to rest, and finally found a place to rest. It was really tired, so it stayed a little longer this time, for fifteen seconds. In those fifteen seconds, it was visible to the naked eye that its condition was recovering rapidly.

At the moment of leaving, the blue deer suddenly spoke in human language, or rather, it transmitted its consciousness directly to him.

"I don't have any blue snow to trade with you. I have to go. This is my last time here. Your spirit weapon is the only pure land left here for me to stay. But there is really no other way. I need to migrate to a more distant place. Take care of yourself. In addition, this is not a place to stay for long. Everything has a limit and you must not touch the limit."

"Remember, remember!"

This information was passed on, and before Zhao Guanshan could react, the blue deer disappeared out of thin air. He was confused, so is this a reward? At least let me ask you a few questions.

Also, what the blue deer said is that ash cannot be mined excessively, otherwise it will trigger an alarm?

Zhao Guanshan deeply believed this. He had strengthened it twice in a row and had consumed nearly three thousand cubic meters of spiritual ash here. If he really continued to dig endlessly, the consequences could be imagined.

After thinking about it, he had already made a decision in his mind.

In the following days, Zhao Guanshan continued to mine spirit ash. After strengthening the purple fire dagger to +16, he also strengthened the spirit ash javelin to +16. At this point, he began to strengthen the spirit ash shield.

However, since the ash shield was blocking the entrance to the cave, it was unable to strengthen all of it, and ultimately could only strengthen about one third of it.

At this point, Zhao Guanshan filled his bag of ash and decisively stopped mining. He returned along the same route and left.

Of course, in order to avoid the strange sand triggering the alarm, he had to leave one of his ash armor there, and that was the price.

After coming out of Skull Mountain, Zhao Guanshan took a look at the portal leading to the opposite world of immortal cultivation, and turned around without hesitation. He wanted to go, but he couldn't do it this way.

Several months later, Zhao Guanshan had returned to the depths of the desert, which was thousands of miles away from the Skull Mountain.

Only then did he bury himself in the desert and began to use the Purple Fire Dagger to cut off the ashes on the ash javelin, and then transferred all the ashes to the ash shield.

After weakening the Ash Javelin to +15 in one go, use it to cut the Purple Fire Dagger.

In short, the purpose of everything is to strengthen the Ash Shield to +17.
This is his plan and purpose. It's not that the Purple Fire Dagger and the Ash Javelin are not cost-effective, but at this stage, it is very important to stay hidden.

When the enhancement levels of the Purple Fire Dagger and the Spirit Ash Javel dropped, it also meant that the Spirit Ash Shield was successfully enhanced to +17. Holding the shield, a sense of security arose spontaneously, and the concealment and covering effect was amazing. Even with Zhao Guanshan's current sensing strength and the strong connection between his soul and his body after leaving his body, once his body was covered with the Spirit Ash Shield, he even had a feeling of not being able to find his home.

You know, the connection between the soul and the body is special and irreplaceable.

As a result, it was cut off by the ash shield even when it was so close. It was really horrifying.

"Only in this way can we pass through the portal safely."

Zhao Guanshan nodded with satisfaction, carried his own body on his back, held up a large shield, and turned back again.
