I picked up skill fragments in the demon world.

Chapter 160 Xie Lingyun Sends the Scripture
What methods did the ancient gods use to bring things from the material world into the spiritual world?

Zhang Chen picked up the jade brick on the ground, only to see that it turned into a rune. Then Zhang Chen threw the rune away, and the rune turned into a jade brick again.

"Could it be that he cares about the way of talismans?" Zhang Chen's eyes showed a hint of thought.

Perhaps this is the only way to explain it.

“There must be a way to bring the devil into the spiritual world, but I currently have too few means and too little understanding of the mysteries.” Zhang Chen’s mind flashed with thoughts, and then he continued to meditate and practice to increase his own magic power.

The days passed one by one, and seven days passed in a flash. Xie Lingyun came again.

At this time, Xie Lingyun changed from the bright red robe to a white dress. Even though she was standing there quietly, she had a feeling of being unique and independent.

"Little Taoist, how is the conversion of that demon going?" Xie Lingyun stood in front of the door, looking at Zhang Chen who was drawing talismans, and asked with a smile.

At this moment, Xie Lingyun was like the older sister next door, without any of the arrogance of an aristocrat.

"Greetings, my lady." Zhang Chen quickly stood up and bowed to Xie Lingyun.

"You know the beast's methods. It's not easy to subdue it." Zhang Chen said.

Xie Lingyun smiled softly upon hearing this, and did not comment on Zhang Chen's words. She scanned the room with her eyes and asked, "Where is your little sister?"

"She went to sleep!" Zhang Chen said.

Xie Lingyun was stunned when he heard this: "Why are you sleeping in broad daylight?"

"That girl keeps complaining that she is mentally ill and has been prescribed a lot of medicine. I tried to persuade her but she wouldn't stop. Now she spends every day soaking in medicine jars." Zhang Chen said with a helpless smile.

Xie Lingyun was stunned when he heard this: "That shouldn't be the case. I think her soul is very normal, how could she be sick?"

"God knows." Zhang Chen said unhappily.

Xie Lingyun suddenly remembered something and pursed her lips: "Before, your junior sister said that you were mentally ill and prescribed medicine for you in the herbal medicine hall. Why is she drinking it now?"

Zhang Chen was not a fool. After hearing what Xie Lingyun said, he thought about it and remembered that the little boy had tricked him into drinking the medicine. It stands to reason that he had been drinking it for more than a month and his body had not changed at all. How could he be a martial arts practitioner?

On the contrary, Xiao Douding stopped giving herself medicine after she said she was mentally ill. Instead, she drank all the medicine. Zhang Chen was speechless: "So I was fooled by this girl? This girl thinks I am mentally ill?"

Thinking of Cheng Yu's previous outrageous actions and misleading words, Zhang Chen had an urge to hit someone.

"I came here this time to bring you something." Xie Lingyun didn't know what Zhang Chen was thinking, and at this moment he took out an ancient book that exuded a mysterious aura from his arms:
"This book was dug out from a large tomb by the Inspection Office. It records 365 kinds of talismans. No one has been able to study the uses of talismans before. Everyone thinks that talisman art is a hoax, used by the ancients to deceive future generations. This book has been gathering dust in the warehouse. I am taking advantage of the fact that people have not yet discovered the magical uses of talismans and lending it to you for a month. How many talismans you can comprehend depends entirely on your own ability."

As he spoke, Xie Lingyun winked at Zhang Chen, and Zhang Chen immediately understood what Xie Lingyun meant. The other party gave him a month to copy it. But Xie Lingyun would never know that Zhang Chen wanted to grind out the skills and had to have the original version.

Moreover, when it comes to talismans, every detail, thickness, width and length of the lines must be accurate and cannot be copied at all. If you make a mistake, you might end up killing yourself.

"Good stuff! This is truly good stuff." Zhang Chen looked delighted.

And three hundred and sixty-five runes? This is simply fat meat delivered to your mouth! Zhang Chen spent a lot of effort to help Xie Lingyun, and finally got his reward.

As Xie Lingyun spoke, he casually threw the book over. Zhang Chen hurriedly caught it with a hint of joy in his eyes.

As his Dharma Eye opened, Zhang Chen could clearly see that the book was shining with a rich white jade light, and it did not look like an ordinary thing.

"The Procuratorial Office has such fun stuff?" Zhang Chen was a little bit unbelievable, flipping through the scroll in his hand. The scroll was simple and light yellow in color. He didn't know what material it was made of, but it felt inexplicably cool in his hand.

"The Northern Procuratorate has dug eight large tombs over the years, and unearthed more good things than you can imagine. For example, the demon that I was infected with before was because it was lurking on a mysterious object that was dug out from the tomb. I was possessed by it, so it caused all kinds of troubles."

At this point, Xie Lingyun emphasized: "This rune book was unearthed together with the object where the demon was lurking."

Zhang Chen's heart became even more serious after hearing this. He stuffed the rune book into his arms with a serious expression and said, "Thank you very much, my lady. Zhang Chen has no way to repay you. If you have any mission in the future, I will definitely not refuse."

The noble lady smiled brightly upon hearing this: "I'm glad you have such thoughts. Our friendship has long transcended status and gender, so there's no need to be polite."

"I came here this time to ask you for advice on the art of drawing talismans, and at the same time, to teach me how to use Qi." Xie Lingyun made her request without any hesitation with her bright white teeth.

"Lady, please feel free to tell me any doubts you have. I will tell you everything I know." Zhang Chen replied.

"Let's start with the art of drawing talismans."

Xie Lingyun came to the table, picked up the cinnabar pen, and while sketching the runes, she asked Zhang Chen for advice. Zhang Chen did not hide his secrets and answered them one by one. After the two talked for an hour, Zhang Chen said to Xie Lingyun: "Your Excellency's talisman technique has already entered the door. Logically, it should be no worse than mine, but now you have not yet obtained the power of the talisman. I guess the problem should be in the Qi training technique."

Xie Lingyun put down his cinnabar pen after hearing this: "I have been reciting the Xisheng Sutra for seven days and pondering it for seven days, but I still have nothing to gain and am at a loss. This Qigong technique is really difficult."

Zhang Chen secretly complained in his heart after hearing what Xie Lingyun said: "There is no light of righteous gods in this world. It would be a miracle if you could master the art of Qigong."

"I don't know how I got started. What I can do is to explain to you all the insights gained during the practice of Qigong, as well as all my own experiences." Zhang Chen didn't mind sharing his experience of Qigong with Xie Lingyun. For him, Qigong had points that could be used to improve his skills. As long as he focused on improving his levels, even if Xie Lingyun really mastered Qigong, her practice speed would never be faster than his.

Moreover, without the light of the righteous gods, Xie Lingyun would definitely not be able to practice Qigong.

"Will it be too much trouble for you?" Xie Lingyun asked, blinking her big eyes.

Zhang Chen said with a smile on his face: "You also said that given our relationship, the word 'trouble' is too polite."

Xie Lingyun looked at the young man in front of her, and her favorable impression of him became stronger. "Since you mentioned the word 'polite', then I have something to say. You keep calling me a lady, isn't that too polite? I am one or two years older than you, so it's okay for me to be your sister, right? If you don't mind, just call me sister."

Zhang Chen was shocked when he heard this. He looked at Xie Lingyun with a question mark in his mind: "Are the sequelae caused by the demon so serious?"

Having driven away greed, anger and ignorance, his mind is pure, kind and innocent. At this time, Xie Lingyun's heart is as innocent as that of a newborn baby, probably just like the newly born Monkey King in Journey to the West, who has no discrimination towards people.

When Wukong became an apprentice, he once said, "I have no gender. If people scold me, I will not be angry; if they hit me, I will not be angry. I will just return the favor. I have no gender in my life." This is the mind without discrimination. It is the true absence of greed, anger, and ignorance. It is the innate state.

At this time, Xie Lingyun had gotten rid of his inner demons and all distracting thoughts in his mind. This was probably the case.

"How dare we! If this gets out, wouldn't you be laughed at?" Zhang Chen said hurriedly.

"People are born equal, but they are divided into different levels later. He is a king and I am a noble, that's all. I see everything clearly, why would I care about this?" Xie Lingyun looked at Zhang Chen with her beautiful eyes: "If you don't want to call me, you must be looking down on me."

Zhang Chen smiled when he heard Xie Lingyun say this. Xie Lingyun had no discrimination, and Zhang Chen had no regard for these so-called dignitaries:

"In that case, then I'd like to meet my sister."

Seeing this, Xie Lingyun nodded in satisfaction: "You will be my brother in the future. If anyone dares to bully you in the North, just tell me my name. I, Xie Lingyun, still have some prestige in the North."

The two chatted and laughed. It was noon now. A servant brought eight dishes and a soup. Zhang Chen woke up the sleepy little kid. Then the little kid drooled at the table full of delicious food.

Following Xie Lingyun's invitation, the two of them sat at the table together and ate happily with Xie Lingyun, finishing all eight dishes and one soup.

After finishing the meal, Xiao Douding went to boil medicine again. Zhang Chen and Xie Lingyun looked at Cheng Yu who was boiling the medicine, and they were all speechless.

"Is she really not mentally ill?" Zhang Chen asked. He was still a little worried.

Xie Lingyun shook his head: "I have already broken through the realm of possession. Can't I tell whether she is sick or not?"

"I have to stop her, don't let her get drunk." Zhang Chen said.

Xie Lingyun shook her head upon hearing this: "No need, her medicine is a medicine for calming the mind and nourishing the soul. Drinking more will be good for her. It can strengthen her soul and make her future path smoother."

Zhang Chen was thoughtful after hearing this. He realized that the essence of God was actually to strengthen the soul. It seemed that there was nothing wrong with drinking more medicine to nourish the soul at this time.

Zhang Chen continued to explain to Xie Lingyun his insights into Qigong and the key points of his own practice.

Xie Lingyun sat upright on the cushion and listened attentively, closing her eyes and trying to figure out the meaning of Zhang Chen's words.

Another three hours passed, and Zhang Chen stopped preaching. He looked at Xie Lingyun, who had her eyes closed, and asked, "Sister, are you feeling energetic?"

"I understand everything you said, and I also understand all the key points you explained, but I just can't generate the qi you mentioned. I wonder what exactly the qi you mentioned is?" Xie Lingyun looked at Zhang Chen, like an elementary school student who couldn't understand the teacher's questions, his eyes full of confusion.

Zhang Chen paused for a moment, then tapped his knees with his fingers: "Perhaps there are two ways to make Sister sense the existence of Qi."

This was Zhang Chen's explanation. He just wanted Xie Lingyun to sense the movement and cultivation of Qi to prove that he was not lying. As for whether Xie Lingyun could succeed in his practice, he had a rough idea in his mind. Unless the other party found the same light of the righteous god as himself, he would not be able to cultivate magic power at all.

And most importantly, he had to prove to Xie Lingyun that he had absolutely no secrets to hide, so as to avoid any trouble due to misunderstanding.

Now Xie Lingyun is my strong support, I must hold on to her.

Of course, the most important thing is that he controls Xie Lingyun's demon. If Xie Lingyun really has any bad intentions, Zhang Chen can only say that she is overthinking.

"What method?" Xie Lingyun asked hurriedly.

"First, I will release the defense of my body. Since Sister can already possess a body, it is better for her to possess me so that Sister can personally feel the key to my mana operation. Perhaps this will deepen Sister's understanding of mana and help her cultivate it successfully. Also, maybe my explanation to Sister is wrong, with some mistakes or errors. After all, it is better for Sister to experience it herself."

"Secondly, I will infuse my magic power into your body, so that you can personally experience the feeling of mastering Qi." Zhang Chen said.

Xie Lingyun pondered for a moment after hearing this and said, "Let's try the first one first."

Zhang Chen nodded upon hearing this, restrained the light of the righteous god, closed his eyes and prepared to be possessed by Xie Lingyun.

A figure walked out of Xie Lingyun's body. The figure was illusory, like transparent air, and exactly the same as Xie Lingyun.

Xie Ling's soul was seen circling around Zhang Chen and then directly entered Zhang Chen's body.

What does it feel like to be possessed?
Zhang Chen didn't feel anything, he just felt that his body seemed to be heavier. He didn't even find the existence of Xie Lingyun's soul. This shows that this possession is indeed very strange.

Zhang Chen directly mobilized his magic power, moved it along the acupoints, and constantly shuttled through the hundreds of acupoints in his body.

After circulating for about a dozen cycles, Zhang Chen suddenly had an idea, and Xie Lingyun's soul walked out of Zhang Chen's body and returned to his own flesh and blood.

Zhang Chen looked towards Xie Lingyun and saw that Xie Lingyun was thinking with his eyes closed, trying to practice his skills. He did not disturb her but chose to wait quietly.

After about a cup of tea, Xie Lingyun opened his eyes, a hint of disappointment in his eyes: "No! I can't practice it!"

"How strange! I can clearly feel the energy in your body, but why can't I cultivate it myself?" Xie Lingyun began to doubt his life.

She had never doubted her aptitude before, but now she seriously doubted whether she was a pig. Zhang Chen had explained it clearly, even breaking it down to tell her, and even asking her to personally feel how the energy worked, but she just couldn't cultivate it.

"Then we can only use the second method. I will infuse a wisp of energy into your body, and you try hard to move that energy and see if you can keep it as your foundation." Zhang Chen said.

He was not surprised that Xie Lingyun failed. He would have found it incredible if Xie Lingyun had succeeded in his cultivation.

"You do it." Xie Lingyun closed his eyes.

Zhang Chen came behind Xie Lingyun, and the next moment, the magic power in his body gathered. One palm fell on Xie Lingyun's ancestral orifice between his eyebrows, and he restrained the magic power and poured it into the ancestral orifice between Xie Lingyun's eyebrows. Then Xie Lingyun's soul seemed to sense something, and directly carried that wisp of energy and wandered around in his body.

After only moving seven or eight acupoints and losing Zhang Chen's restraint, the magic power was actually directly absorbed by Xie Lingyun's soul.
