Fire Monster

Chapter 368 Cave Heaven Paradise
The moment the immortal ban on the Skull Mountain was opened, Zhao Guanshan, who was originally practicing in fear and trembling, felt very uncomfortable, as if a thunder would explode at any time.

But suddenly, this feeling of danger disappeared, and was replaced by an incomparable sense of security.

It’s like being in a paradise, with endless spiritual energy pouring in and the feeling of happiness coming so suddenly.

Zhao Guanshan himself was confused and almost thought he was possessed.

He had to quickly stop his practice, observe carefully, and even took out the karma hourglass to measure it. The result surprised him. He didn't know what had happened. Now in the ashes of this Skull Mountain, there was originally only a wisp of gray karma in one cubic meter, but now there is actually a wisp of white merit in every cubic meter.

From negative to positive.

"As expected, I knew this Skull Mountain was not simple. It was not the remains of immortals who died in the karmic crisis caused by the collapse of the Heavenly Palace this time. Instead, it was left by ancient immortals who were more virtuous, responsible, and capable of taking responsibility."

"I didn't find any demon miners mining this Skull Mountain before. Now that there has been such a change, does it mean that those fallen immortals are ready to open this treasure house to save the market?"

In a flash, Zhao Guanshan basically guessed the truth. At this point, everything was obvious and he could guess it without much effort.

"Save the market? As long as the fallen immortals are alive, what market can we save?"

He sneered. In fact, it was very simple. He only needed to kill a few fallen immortals, and all problems would be solved. The world of immortal cultivation would gradually restore order.

But the fallen immortals don’t want to die, so we have no choice but to send them to death.

On this point, Zhao Guanshan very much agreed with the opinions of the protagonists, no matter who trained them.

In short, this is the path he will take and what he will do in the future.

Kill those fallen immortals!
Putting aside his complicated thoughts, Zhao Guanshan took a long breath of the rich spiritual energy and stretched his almost rusty body. It felt so good.

He never knew that the best thing to do in Skull Mountain was not to mine ashes, but to practice.

Mining ashes is almost the same as burning the piano and cooking the crane. It is simply a destructive mining and an act that will end the family lineage.

Unfortunately, if this Skull Mountain continues to stand like this for a few more decades, it will end up like the other Skull Mountains.

At that moment, Zhao Guanshan began the most formal practice. The spiritual energy here was so abundant that he could even luxuriously practice in the way of immortal cultivators.

It’s a pity that he is not an immortal cultivator.

But even so, he could still practice ten times faster, and they were making progress at the same pace.

That is, while practicing, one can simultaneously temper the pure yang body, cultivate the life fire, and practice the small five elements golden elixir Taoism.

The effect of this practice is roughly equivalent to half the energy efficiency of a cultivator.

I can only say that the immortal cultivators of the past were really happy.

You can easily advance with only half the effort.

But Qi cultivators have to put in twice the effort.

This is still in such a blessed place. If it were in the Taoist Palace in the abyss of devil fire, the effort would be at least a hundred times, or even a thousand times.

In this way, in just half a year, Zhao Guanshan successfully cultivated to become an eighth-level Qi Refiner. The tempering of his pure yang body reached the sixty-third level. His life fire was cultivated to be more solid, and the Lihuo Dao Talisman inside was extremely clear, as if it were real.

But more importantly, he finally succeeded in cultivating a small Five Elements Golden Pill.

There is a saying among immortal cultivators that "my destiny is in my own hands", so one can imagine the benefits of having this small five-element golden elixir.

With this golden elixir, Zhao Guanshan can exert the strength equivalent to five five-element Qi-refining masters of the same level, which is a real combat power ×5.
In addition to this, the total number of his innate pure yang energy now stands at 780 strands, while the standard requirement for an eighth-level Qi Refiner is 720 strands. He has been accumulating and increasing it along the way.

The sixty-third level of Pure Yang Body Tempering not only greatly increased his lifespan, but also automatically restored six breaths of innate Pure Yang Qi every day, while also increasing the power of various magical powers to a certain extent.

Adding that small Five Elements Golden Pill, the total amount of innate pure yang energy that he could automatically recover every day reached sixteen.

Don't underestimate this small number.

But in fact, this is a very, very powerful and awesome gain.

It is like creating something out of nothing, without any consumption or any external energy. In a sense, it is not an exaggeration to say that this is the perpetual motion machine in the world of cultivation.

The premise is that the life span problem is solved.

After advancing to the eighth level Qi Refiner, Zhao Guanshan only paused for a while and then decisively continued to practice and strive to become a ninth level Qi Refiner.

Such a perfect and top-notch blessed land, if you don’t use it for cultivation, what are you waiting for? Mining spiritual ash and strengthening spiritual weapons are not as good as cultivation.

He has already wasted too much time, at least he has to catch up with the other four protagonists in terms of strength, right?

Otherwise, how would he have the nerve to kill the fallen immortal?

Of course, Zhao Guanshan deliberately slowed down his practice this time. While practicing, absorbing spiritual energy and transforming the innate pure yang energy, he also comprehended the Lihuo Dao Talisman and deduced his magical powers to avoid the result of more haste than speed.

In fact, there was no major bottleneck this time.

The tempering of the pure yang body is a mindless process.

He had already mastered the Lihuo Dao Fu to perfection, and when he discussed it with the female fairy from his youth, he was able to explain it in a simple and easy-to-understand way with ease.

The small five elements golden elixir has also been cultivated successfully.

The only thing that needs to be carefully carved and cultivated to a high level of perfection is the life fire.

Because this is really the foundation of all spiritual practice, even immortal cultivators cannot avoid it. Of course, immortal cultivators do not call it life fire, but spiritual root, and then as the realm is improved, it is called Nascent Soul.

Since the life fire can reflect the original body and is the place where the physical body and the primordial spirit are highly integrated, one's own reflection will be formed in the life fire, just like a child, hence the term "primordial infant".

But Zhao Guanshan is a Qi Refiner, so there is no need to use the term Nascent Soul.

And, it is indeed a little different.

The immortal cultivators cultivate themselves, to be more self-centered, more independent, more powerful, more extravagant, and more blessed. They themselves are the Taoism and the skills. They can create their own skills and Taoism every day. In the era of immortal cultivation, there are many sects. Any immortal cultivator can establish a sect and create a Taoism.

All I can say is, God blesses him.

The dividends of the times are so huge that they are incomparable.

Qi cultivators cannot create their own school of thought because they do not have enough spiritual energy. They are like a drowning person in the vast ocean. It is good enough if they can hold on to a piece of wood, and it would be even better if they can have an island to stand on. How can they dream of the starry sky and the sea?

It was when Zhao Guanshan was practicing in this blessed place that he began to have the slightest inkling that he could create his own Taoist school.

Spiritual energy is truly inexhaustible, so he can try and make mistakes as much as possible, but in the end, he doesn't even have to try.

This is the Taoist tradition that has been refined by immortals through thousands of trials and tribulations. Could he still find a flaw in it?

Isn't this a joke?

From this point of view, it can actually make a lot of immortal cultivators envious, jealous and hateful.

In the era of cultivating immortals, there was no Taoist tradition passed down that was carved out by the immortals themselves.

Therefore, although Zhao Guanshan had thought about creating his own Taoist school before, after discovering the truth about the karmic crisis, he realized that it was never because his knowledge was not good enough or not comprehensive enough. The principles were all good, but there were problems elsewhere.

Therefore, you can save some energy on this. Wouldn't it be better to cultivate the life fire?

After practicing like this for a while, Zhao Guanshan suddenly felt as if he had gained something.

However, there was an extra strand of green merit sand in the life fire.

There seems to be a change.

But what is the difference between the green merit sand and the golden merit sand?
