Fire Monster

Chapter 312: Spring of the Fire System
Early in the morning, the streets and alleys of Linjiang Prefecture were already bustling with people going to work in an endless stream. On the roadside were steaming hot breakfasts of all kinds. The shouts in various accents seemed like a dream and became unreal.

Every day is so busy that the threats brought by evil spirits seem to be a thing of the past life. Many people have not seen any deaths for a long time.

And those vigorous young people look as lively and lovely as the red sun hanging in the sky.

The world has really changed.

"Newspapers for sale! Newspapers for sale! Linjiang Morning News, the latest news!"

"The Demon Suppression Division Beidaying Group Co., Ltd. has successfully cracked the technical essentials of the Level 6 Spirit Supply Tower not long ago!"

"Master Zhang Tianjiao, the first head of the Dao Palace, delivered an important speech."

"An expert predicts that within three years, the price for civilians in Linjiang Prefecture to use spiritual energy will drop from the current five big coins per level to one big coin!"

"The latest masterpiece of the famous writer Fei Niao is being serialized. Read the lingering love story between the immortal Zhao Fengxiao and his sixteen earthly companions!"

"..."

A group of kids selling newspapers were shouting loudly as they walked along the street, adding a bit of clutter to the busy street.

On the street, at a not very conspicuous but fairly busy stall, a man in his forties was busy serving trays of steamed dumplings. Not far away was his wife, a woman in her thirties, who was skillfully wrapping dumplings.

"Dad, Mom, I'm going to school now that I'm full."

A fair and handsome boy shouted and rushed out of the room with his schoolbag on his back. A few dozen steps away was the bus stop, where a special vehicle of the Taoist temple had already been parked, which was used to pick up and drop off students to and from school.

"Hey, be careful and study hard in the Taoist temple."

The middle-aged man chased after his son for a few steps, but he could only look at his son's back and shout a few words. He was tired of saying this, and his son was tired of hearing it.

But isn't this how we have to live our lives?

Some of the diners at several tables ate in silence. They were mostly young people in their twenties to thirties. They seemed to have become the masters of Linjiang Mansion. They were always in a hurry and silent, as if they had endless things to do.

But the world does seem to be becoming more and more different.

Only older people seem to be abandoned by time and always seem so out of place.

But suddenly, the middle-aged man who was smiling and tidying up the tables and chairs a moment ago seemed to be stunned for a moment, then looked at the sealed red sun outside and became a little distracted.

"Mother, please look after the stall first. I'm going home for a while."

The middle-aged man greeted as usual. His home was nearby, just around the corner. Along the way, he greeted the neighbors in a familiar manner.

It wasn't until he returned home that his expression became strange.

Even his hands and body were shaking, and his eyes were confused, painful, and extremely complicated.

After a long while, he finally laughed miserably.
"What is coming will eventually come. Has the Fire Sect's tradition also been polluted? Haha!"

"I never thought that even though I have been hiding my identity for fifteen years, I still cannot escape this disaster. Chu Yushu, you have made a huge mistake. In fifteen years, the destiny has not awakened. The destiny cannot protect us cultivators. The evil gods can still find us accurately by polluting the Taoism. Once we cultivators are corrupted, killing and killing together, bloody storm, who can stop it? Destiny?"

With a long sigh, he looked outside. He wanted to say goodbye to his wife and children. Although, fifteen years ago, he just married a random woman in order to hide his identity, they had been husband and wife for fifteen years after all.

But there is really no way out. The evil god has already come to the door through the Lihuo Taoist sect. Today is the moment of life and death.

That's right, just now, he suddenly had an idea, and a flash of inspiration came to his mind. He somehow grasped the key points of the eighth-level fire dispersal power.

This means that he only needs to take one step, and this precious and powerful magical power will be at his fingertips.

But is this possible?

As an eighth-level Qi Refiner, he once secluded himself for fifty years in order to comprehend the eighth-level fire dispersing ability, but to no avail.

Now I don’t know what happened. He has been hiding in the mortal world for fifteen years and has never practiced cultivation. How come he suddenly had an epiphany? If this wasn’t the evil god seducing him, what else could it be?
He was very sure that as long as he took this step, he would no longer be himself.

However, this is definitely not something that can be avoided. The power of the evil god will gradually spread and affect the people around.

"Farewell, this world."

The middle-aged man shook his head and decided to commit suicide.

He would rather be torn to pieces and his soul shattered than let the evil god control him.

At that moment, he directly circulated his innate pure yang energy. As long as he detonated his life fire, his entire body would be burned without even leaving ashes, and it would not affect anything around him. This was the most traceless method.

However, just as he started to operate it, he was stunned.

"what?"

Because it was different, very different. As soon as he circulated his innate pure yang energy, he immediately realized that his own Lihuo Dao Talisman in his life fire was very light, very smooth, and very perfect. How could it look like it had been contaminated by the evil god?

Or is it that these days, have evil gods become so effective in polluting the Taoist tradition?
But the problem is that if the evil god can achieve this, then the evil god can completely be regarded as the ancestor of the Lihuo Taoist school.

The middle-aged man was filled with doubts, the more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong, especially after he boldly practiced the Lihuo Dao Fu, he felt as if he had been blessed by an immortal.

Take off in full state.

"No, no, how could this happen? The statue of the Lihuo Immortal has been destroyed, and the Linjiang Prefecture Taoist Palace no longer has the true Lihuo Taoist lineage. Why is it so clear now, as if the statue of the Lihuo Immortal has reappeared?"

He was an eighth-rank Qi Refiner who had lived for nearly eight hundred years. He had seen all kinds of situations and was very experienced. However, after several attempts, he came to a conclusion that left him at a loss.

Because he knew very well that it was impossible!
In the end what happened?
Which fellow Taoist secretly reshaped the statue of the Lihuo Immortal?
This feeling was even stronger than the previous Lihuo Immortal Statue—no, not stronger, but more accurate, closer, more appropriate, and more fitting, so the increase was so large and so clear. Even in this moment, he naturally mastered the eighth-level Lihuo Dispel.

Eighth-level rune.

That’s right, it’s not the evil god.

But the fact that it is not an evil god actually indicates that the situation is more serious.

At this moment, the expression on the man's face suddenly became extremely resolute.

"War is coming. This is a war. I didn't stop it fifteen years ago. Now a fellow Taoist has revived the Taoist tradition. Should I still give in?"

He muttered to himself, because given the current situation in Linjiang Prefecture, it would be illegal for the Lihuo sect to reappear.

War is inevitable!

“Although this time, except for the Lihuo Qi Refiners, other Qi Refiners are unable to sense it, this matter should not be concealed for long. The Dao Palace may organize a hunt for the Lihuo Qi Refiners.”

"Ah! Wait for the right time!"

The middle-aged man's expression returned to his previous honest and simple appearance. He was not in a hurry, and it was not appropriate for him to expose himself.

He knew too well how powerful the Dao Palace Tianming Faction was now.

To act rashly is only what a young boy would do.

The most important thing is to lie dormant and become stronger.

I think the Taoist friend who can reshape the statue of Lihuo Immortal should not be so reckless.

In fact, Linjiang Prefecture is now in a state of silence and darkness.

That fellow Taoist is able to do such a thing, he is truly a god!
Anyway, he admires her very much!

On this day, in Linjiang Prefecture, at least hundreds of Lihuo-type Qi-refining practitioners sensed the reappearance of the Lihuo Taoist school.

Some of them did not retire, but set their sights on assisting destiny.

Some people just choose to lie down and do nothing.

The last group of people resorted to some means and hid their identities.

It can be said that the reappearance of the Lihuo Taoist sect is like a tsunami, which makes them either shocked and excited, or angry and hesitant, or after weighing the pros and cons for a long time, they directly report to the Taoist Palace!
There were also young Qi-refining practitioners who believed that this was an evil god polluting the Taoist tradition, and they foolishly went to the Taoist palace to ask for protection.

But most of the Lihuo Qi Refiners chose to remain silent, and those who were more cautious simply disappeared on the spot.

The Forgotten Rune of the Fire Element is not unique to Zhao Guanshan, I really want to hide it.

How much effort and noise would the Dao Palace have to make to catch them?

And all those who knew about it, including some Qi-refining practitioners from other disciplines, felt the coming of the war cloud.

In just a few days, the situation in Linjiang Prefecture became turbulent and undercurrents surged.

At the same time, Zhao Guanshan was also alarmed.

Really, he had not expected at first that the statue of the cyber immortal he created would have an impact on other Lihuo-type Qi-refiners in Linjiang Prefecture. After all, there was a huge gap in their levels.

As a result, in less than three days, he was surprised to find that there was a faint golden light shining inside the statue, as if there were changes.

After a little thought, Zhao Guanshan paused his work, meditated, and instantly entered the world of visualization.

This speed and smoothness are truly unprecedented.

Sure enough, after the Taoist tradition was rebuilt, the spring of the Lihuo-type Qi-refining practitioners really came.

In the visualized world, the previous background was still there, but as expected, there was a small boat besides the big ship formed by the Linjiang Prefecture Taoist Palace.

Looking at the Destiny Tree again, it continued to shrink and was about to become a seed.

Zhao Guanshan did not pay too much attention to this. These were insignificant at the moment. The statue space was the source of the changes.

The next moment, he entered the statue space, and was almost blinded by the golden light in an instant. His senses were shocked at this moment. Countless golden rays of light were wandering in the statue space, like a golden ocean, with huge waves and boundless.

And in this golden sea, there are four statues standing in the four directions.

The only difference is that the statues of Liu Yuwei and Xiao Chengyun were almost submerged, leaving only a head.

The statue of Zhao Guanshan was submerged up to the lower body.

But there is an extra statue here.

It was the statue of the female immortal, whose height was similar to that of Zhao Guanshan's statue. It was facing his statue, with a faint gaze and a calm expression, as if gazing into the distance or examining someone. The posture of the statue was completely different from that in Linjiang Prefecture before, and it seemed as if it had come alive.

Zhao Guanshan was shocked but not surprised. Since he had used his own statue for grafting before, he knew that there must be such a cause and effect. But he did not expect the cause and effect to be so big and so obvious.

Because this also means that this female fairy has become his third NPC female teammate.

Now, this golden light is the dowry brought by the female immortal statue...
