Fire Monster

Chapter 80 Visualization and Knowledge

At that moment, Zhao Guanshan struggled to get up and sat on the ground. He no longer had to sit cross-legged. He moved his hands slightly and began to form seals.

However, in such severe pain, even moving his fingers felt like being hammered by a thousand nails. It was naturally impossible for him to form the seal successfully. He could not use the vital energy in his body to guide and form the seal in the reverse void as he did before.

After a while, he was sweating from the pain and his face was distorted.

Even Sun Ze was startled.

"Zhao Guanshan, don't be anxious, don't be anxious, don't practice outside, the pollution here is too serious, let's go back and talk about it."

"Then can you take me back? I mean now, I have to be back to normal by tomorrow morning."

"No, I cannot act on my own without the captain's order."

"Then could you go and ask for instructions?"

"No, the captain ordered me to protect you, I can't leave."

"Fuck, you can't even shout."

"No, this place is too close to other demon mothers' lairs. I'm afraid it will attract the sixth-level evil demons."

"My goodness, I killed a sixth-level evil demon today and saved all of your lives. How much will I get when the marching captain assesses my merits?"

"do not know."

"Fuck, I can give you some merit."

"a little?"

"One thing. I, Zhao Guanshan, keep my word, but you have to protect me outside my door until this evening."

"Okay, brother, don't worry, I'll take you back right away."

Without saying a word, Sun Ze immediately became full of fighting spirit, carried Zhao Guanshan on his back and ran back.

He didn't even inform Liu Yuwei. There was no doubt that Liu Yuwei had instructed before that Zhao Guanshan could be sent back early. After all, today's mission was basically completed here.

This thief Sun just wanted to fleece him sincerely.

But it was worth it. This visualization allowed him to feel the characteristics of the Flame Burst Rune in advance, which would be of great help to him in lighting up the Flame Burst Rune next time.

The way back is not far, just a few kilometers, but it is quite dangerous.

Although most of the third- and fourth-level demons were led away, on the way back, one could still encounter groups of demons. They were like ownerless ghosts that would pounce on people without hesitation when they sensed the breath of a living person.

If this happened in Linjiang Prefecture, just one of them would be enough to harm ordinary people in an alley, but here, they would not even be enough to be chopped into pieces by Sun the thief.

Zhao Guanshan looked at it with regret.

"It's a bit wasteful. If it were in Linjiang Prefecture, each one would be worth a magic pill, and handing it in would be worth a point of Dao Palace contribution."

"Hey! Don't dream. Linjiang Prefecture is different from here. There are no magic pills to pick up after killing evil demons. But it's not a waste. Do you know the seven-level spirit supply tower in the Taoist Palace? There are also spirit supply towers in the Demon Suppression Department, the Provincial Government Department, and the Taoist Temple. There are more than 20 spirit supply towers of various sizes. Do you know where the spiritual energy comes from?"

"When we kill evil demons now, the polluted energy in their bodies will gradually be absorbed by these large and small spirit supply towers. Then, somehow, it will be transformed into spiritual energy to supply thousands of households in Linjiang Prefecture, and also used to maintain the Demon Suppression Network."

"You know the Demon Suppression Net, there is one above our heads, it can filter out all the demons above level seven. Otherwise, with our limited combat power of Team Eight, we would not know how we would die if we encountered a level seven demon."

"And the demons below level 4 here will gradually be diverted to the Imperial Seal Great Wall. There are newly graduated martial arts apprentices over there, which is more suitable for those new recruits."

"Of course, I'm not talking about you. Just based on the sword you used today, people would believe you are a single-seal martial artist."

"I see."

Zhao Guanshan suddenly understood and had a more three-dimensional understanding of Linjiang Prefecture's strategy to fight against evil spirits.

In addition, another idea came into my mind.

That is, since the core essential energy of the evil spirit can be compressed into a magic pill by the vortex of psychic energy, and the magic pill can be fused by the small flame in the sealed oil lamp.

At the same time, the evil demons that have been killed can be absorbed by the Spirit Supply Tower and converted into spiritual energy to supply the daily operations of the entire Linjiang Prefecture.

So can we draw a conclusion that spiritual energy can also be integrated and absorbed by the small flame in the sealed oil lamp, thereby indirectly achieving his goal of lighting up the rune stars?
In addition, he came up with another bold idea.

Could he build a miniature spirit-offering tower by himself to absorb the evil energy outside the Imperial Seal Wall?
Even if I can only absorb the amount of one energy storage spirit stone a day, it is still free money, and it is not considered stealing...

These two ideas really made Zhao Guanshan excited, and he wanted to implement them immediately.

"No wonder they say that traveling a thousand miles is better than reading ten thousand books. I have gained so much in less than two days since I came to the frontline battlefield. This trip is right. Otherwise, how could I have gained so much knowledge if I stayed in Linjiang Prefecture?"

A moment later, Zhao Guanshan was safely sent back by Sun Ze.

"I'm going to keep my word. I'll guard you at the door until the captain and the others come back. Now you can practice with peace of mind."

"Thank you very much!"

"You're so polite. Don't forget your promise. Do some merit! Otherwise, don't blame me for turning hostile."

Sun Zei hummed an unknown tune and sat at the door, looking very heartless.

Seeing this, Zhao Guanshan didn't say anything else. He used his identity badge to open the door. After entering the barracks, he couldn't even take a few more steps. He fell down at the door, with his back against the wall. The vital energy in his body was churning endlessly, and the pain made him sweat like rain. It was really heart-wrenching.

But the more this happens, the faster you need to straighten out these disrupted vital energies, otherwise, over time, it will cause hidden illnesses and injuries to the body.

"Seal!"

This first step is extremely difficult because it requires synchronously mobilizing the vital energy in the body.

This is sour and refreshing.

Fortunately, he had returned to the barracks, and with the protection of the second-level imperial seal, he could focus on his work. No matter how painful it was, he had to endure it.

If one time doesn’t work, try ten times.

If ten times doesn’t work, try a hundred or a thousand times.

When you are hungry or thirsty, replenish your food and water.

When you feel tired, just drink the inferior marrow cleansing liquid and you will recover your strength in no time.

Every effort brings you one step closer to success.

Until he successfully formed the first talisman, it was like a patient with high paraplegia finally pressing an accurate note on the piano keys through his own efforts.

The beginning of all things is the beginning of Qi refining.

The chaotic vitality in the body, like a galloping horse, was finally put into a bridle and was no longer helpless.

Zhao Guanshan did not try other talismans. He just tried his best to maintain this first talisman. In the area where this talisman resonated with the vital energy in his body, it circulated and resonated continuously.

Until he could slowly, firmly, and accurately form the second seal.

The situation improved immediately.

The pain was still going on, but Zhao Guanshan's ten fingers had already become skilled at forming talismans one after another. Then, through this guidance and resonance, he was able to gather and smooth out the chaotic vital energy in his body step by step, returning it to its original position.

When he had completely completed the gathering and was back to normal, he closed his eyes and seemed to have realized something in his heart. The suffering he had experienced was naturally difficult to describe in words, but he also captured the essence of the explosive rune.

It was like sweetness after bitterness. Zhao Guanshan continued to comprehend, savor, and ponder. The pain he had endured every second before became clues for him to understand the Explosive Rune at this moment.

When enough clues were put together, when the power that made Zhao Guanshan so miserable finally changed from unpredictable to understandable knowledge.

Even though what he understood was only a very tiny part, it was enough.

Because this has already met the conditions for visualizing the explosive rune.

That's right!

This time he didn't need enough energy to force the Lihuo Dao Fu to light up the rune stars.

He could have taken a more direct approach.

That is - to find and pursue the trajectory of the formation and annihilation of power.

Research discovers objective laws.

Summarize and generalize to form bits of knowledge.

Well, it seems quite simple.

Zhao Guanshan smiled slightly, adjusted his state in all aspects first, and then visualized according to the knowledge he had just understood.

At first, what he visualized was a spark, like the sparks flying out from burning wood, which flashed by, and then came the second spark, and the third spark.

Then there is no more then.

The little knowledge Zhao Guanshan had about the explosive rune was only enough for him to visualize three sparks flashing and forming continuously.

Of course this is also good.

Because, when he visualized three sparks, he unexpectedly discovered that the Lihuo Dao Talisman that he had visualized before, and the moon transformed by the dispersing rune, could also be visualized passively.

In other words, the objects he visualizes are connected to each other, and they are constructing a mysterious visualized world from nothing.

And this visualized world seems to have some mysterious connection with the female fairy who left behind the Lihuo Dao Talisman and cried for help.

This feeling is quite strange.

It was pitch black all around.

Looking up, you can see the hazy and dim starry sky.

The bright moon transformed by the dispersing rune was hanging above his head, and the small flame transformed by the Lihuo Dao Talisman was burning right in front of his eyes, with three sparks flashing continuously like fireflies.

In the void farther away, the stars represented by the broadsword fighting skills were dim and drooping.

Zhao Guanshan suddenly wanted to light it up.

Unexpectedly, just as this thought came to mind, the three small sparks actually flew straight towards the dim star representing the broadsword fighting skills, without giving him a chance to react, as if they sympathized with each other, had similar interests, and were in cahoots with each other...

With a whoosh, he was immersed in it.

What's going on?
Zhao Guanshan was a little confused.

But he soon realized a possibility.

That is, although the Explosive Rune is powerful, in fact, it is most cost-effective to use it with weapons.

For example, if the sword energy emitted by a broadsword carries an explosive effect.

For example, can a long sword produce explosive sword energy?
Or just like the psychic longbow, add the explosive rune to the sealed iron feather arrow to directly bring explosive damage!
The more Zhao Guanshan thought about it, the more it made sense to him.

Otherwise, why in this mysterious visualization world, there is no reaction between the stars of the Broadsword Fighting Skill and the stars of the Dispersing Rune, but instead they are very close to the Exploding Rune?

"So now, although I can't light up the Explosion Rune yet, as long as I light up the Broadsword Combat Skill Rune, won't that mean I can indirectly master some Explosion Blade Qi?"

"Tsk tsk! There is so much potential!"
