I picked up skill fragments in the demon world.

Chapter 223 The Great Perfection of Qi Training

Of course, the seven major runes, the invisibility rune, the immobilization rune, the character-suppressing rune, the wind-fixing rune, the fire-proof rune, the water-fixing rune, and the hard earth rune, do not require many points.

However, the Nine-Bend Yellow River Array is now a second-level talisman array, which can cover 360 meters. If it is upgraded further, it can cover 3,600 meters, which is equivalent to covering a small hill. Even if outsiders want to destroy the Nine-Bend Yellow River Array, it is not so easy.

However, the Nine-Bend Yellow River Talisman Array is currently at the second level. To upgrade it to the third level, it will require a full million points. Zhang Chen still needs to consider this carefully.

After Zhang Chen calculated for a while, he suddenly realized that his skill points seemed to be insufficient.

Zhang Chen turned his gaze to the Qigong technique. To him, the most important thing was the Qigong technique, which was the foundation of cultivation. He would improve his Qigong technique first.

At this time, Zhang Chen's Qigong practice was at the sixth level, and the points required were thirty-two thousand.

[Skill 7 (Beginner): Qi Training Level 0 (32000/)]

"Upgrade!" Zhang Chen clicked it without thinking. He now has five million points, which is very impressive.

[Skill 7 (Beginner): Qi Training Seventh Level (0/64000)]

A leaf of the lotus in Zhang Chen's body condensed from illusion into reality.

[Skill 7 (Beginner): Qi Training Level 0 (128000/)]

A little flower stem solidification.

……

[Skill 7 (Beginner): Qi Training Eleventh Level (0/1024000)]

The bud condenses into a solid entity.

……

[Skill 7 (Beginner): Qi Training Twelve Levels (Perfect)]

【Points: 3112000】

At this moment, half of Zhang Chen's five million points evaporated instantly, leaving only 3,112,000 points.

“It’s not prohibited.”

Zhang Chen looked towards the Golden Finger screen. His Qigong training had reached the twelfth level, and it was already perfect and could not be improved any further.

The leaves of the green lotus in Zhang Chen's ancestral orifice between his eyebrows had now completely condensed into a solid entity, as if it were a real green lotus, standing quietly and verdantly in the orifice between his eyebrows. The lotus seemed to be real, the whole lotus was as green as pure jade, and the whole body was chaotic and hazy, with chaotic energy constantly flowing, and there was a golden scissors in the flower bud that was constantly rolling up and down.

"Once the Qigong technique is perfected, can it no longer be upgraded? I thought all skills could be upgraded unlimitedly." Zhang Chen's eyes fell on the Qigong skill, and there was a hint of thought in his eyes: "I thought before that maybe I could take a shortcut and ignore the secret book and use the points to directly increase the Qigong technique to a higher level, but now my plan has failed. If I want to upgrade to a higher level, I still need to find the secret book."

Zhang Chen kept pondering in his mind: "I don't know what the higher-level Qigong training formula is. I shouldn't continue to train Qigong. If I continue to train Qigong, I should be able to directly add some points without the secret book."

What Zhang Chen could judge was that the next stage of cultivation would definitely be a completely different world.

The Qigong technique of Zhang Chen has reached perfection. At this time, his magic power is overwhelming and has increased many times.

Zhang Chen's eyes swept through all his skills. He still had more than three million points left. He must make good use of the next skill points and not waste any of them.

Zhang Chen's eyes fell on the second skill, blood control. He had wanted to upgrade this skill for a long time, but he had never had enough points before. Now that he had enough points, of course he would choose to upgrade it. After all, this skill was related to his ability to save his life.

[Skill 3 (Level 0): Transform into a Blood Bat (1000000/)]

Zhang Chen looked at the third skill, which required a million points. The next moment he clicked on the upgrade without hesitation.

As one million points were deducted, the Bloodsucking Technique's Gold Finger screen suddenly twisted and changed:
[Skill 3 (Level 0): ​​Regeneration of Broken Limbs (10000000/)]

【Note 1: Broken limbs can grow back.】

[Note 2: Does not include the head]

Zhang Chen looked at his own blood control technique, his eyes fell on the regeneration of severed limbs, and a hint of disappointment appeared in his eyes: "It's a pity that it's not the regeneration by dripping blood that I want. But the regeneration of severed limbs is already quite remarkable. At least when I travel around in the future, my survival rate will be greatly improved."

At this time, the crystal core in Zhang Chen's body vibrated. Zhang Chen only felt that there were mysterious lights flashing on his crystal core. There were more blood-red runes on the crystal core. The blood-red runes were connected together to form chains of order, which were engraved in the crystal core. Then, an inexplicable thought arose in Zhang Chen's mind, that is, except for his head, no matter where he was injured, he could grow back quickly.

Zhang Chen scanned his own golden finger page and finally landed on the Nine-Bend Yellow River Talisman Array. After thinking for a moment, he gave up on the Nine-Bend Yellow River Talisman Array because even if the Nine-Bend Yellow River Talisman Array was upgraded, it would not increase his combat power much.

So what if the Nine-Bend Yellow River Talisman Formation can cover 3,600 meters?

The difference between 360 meters and 3,600 meters for those who can be hooked into the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation is not that big.

However, facing the old guys who could not summon souls, even though he had set up the 3,600-meter-long Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation, it was still too fragile for those old guys who controlled the energy of heaven and earth.

Zhang Chen glanced at the runes he got later. He felt that the invisibility rune, the immobilization rune, etc. were the best means for him to turn the tables at the critical moment and were his best means to deal with the enemy.

The fifth level of the invisibility talisman required 800,000 points, and Zhang Chen added it without thinking.

The invisibility talisman is a good thing!
【11技能（五阶）：隐身符（0/800000）】——>【11技能（六阶）：隐身符（0/1600000）】

To upgrade the invisibility talisman to level six, one needs 1.6 million experience points. However, Zhang Chen only has 1.312 million experience points at this time. Obviously, there are not enough points for the upgrade.

[11th skill (level 0): Invisibility Talisman (1600000/1)] [Note : You will gain the power of level causality. As long as you cast the invisibility spell, level monks will not be able to detect your form.]

[Note 2: When you are still, you will not be touched by mysterious forces below level .]

[Note 3: You don’t create air flow when you walk]

Zhang Chen looked at the golden finger page in front of him, with a hint of joy in his eyes. One of the defects of his golden finger had been made up. He would not move the air when walking anymore. This definitely reduced a fatal flaw.

At this time, Zhang Chen only had 1,312,000 skill points left, and he needed to make good use of them.

Zhang Chen's eyes fell on the Zhen character, only to see that the points of the Zhen character actually required two million, so he had to move his eyes away from the Zhen character and then fell on the Immobilization Talisman. The Immobilization Talisman was only the fourth level now, and the skill points required were 800,000.

Zhang Chen didn't even think twice and directly added the experience points of the immobilization talisman:

【8技能（四阶）：定身符（0/800000）】——>【8技能（五阶）：定身符（0/1600000）】

[Note 1: You can freeze a defenseless fifth-level mystic. As long as the talisman touches its body, it can be frozen by you.]

At this time, Zhang Chen only had 512,000 skill points left.

Zhang Chen's eyes swept through all the skills and finally landed on the Divine Mist Transformation, Visualization Method, Fire-Repelling Talisman, Wind-Fixing Talisman, Hard Earth Talisman, Dragon Qi, and Water Control Technique.

Countless thoughts flashed through Zhang Chen's mind, and in the end he did not choose to add points, but chose to keep some. In the future, when he obtains the mantras of higher levels of Qigong, he will need to continue to add points to get started.

Moreover, the other skills do not increase combat power much, so he has to save skill points for emergencies at critical moments.

Zhang Chen's power was enhanced at this time, especially the perfection of Qigong, which increased the power of the Five-Colored Divine Light by a full twelve meters. Although the distance of twelve meters was not long, it gave Zhang Chen more time to react.

"One day, my five-colored divine light will shine brightly." Zhang Chen muttered. Only then did he have time to carefully look at the entire bottom of the pool. He saw that the bottom of the pool was empty, with only a simple hole dug out of the stone. Countless runes were engraved on the hole to seal the cursed demon.

"Where did the Cursed Demon God go? He must have taken the opportunity to escape along with all the treasures. After being severely injured by the Emperor and then experiencing the great changes in the world, how much strength does the Cursed Demon God still have? He must have taken advantage of the bad situation and escaped." Zhang Chen walked around in the pit and found nothing. He raised his head and looked higher, with a burning look in his eyes: "Niece, I wonder if you have any treasures left. I'm coming."

Zhang Chen turned into mist and flew up, landing on the platform. He stared at the green light shield supported by the branches. He wanted to get up and approach the green light shield, but he found that the green light shield was like a wall, blocking Zhang Chen.

"Hmm?" Zhang Chen looked up and down at the green light shield in front of him, and a thought flashed through his mind: "My five-colored divine light can wipe out all the mysteries belonging to the five elements..."

The next moment, a colorful light flashed behind Zhang Chen and swept towards the tree coffin in front of him. However, when the colorful light passed through the tree coffin, there was no ripple at all.

"Impossible! How come my five-colored divine light has no reaction to the Tree of Life?" Zhang Chen's eyes were full of disbelief.

"Who said that the Tree of Life belongs to the Five Elements? Don't be confused by the name given to it by the outside world. The Tree of Life is just a name given to it by others. Its real name should be the Heart of Life. It is not condensed from the essence of wood attributes, but a combination of the essence of life force. It is a rare thing that was born from the gathering of the life essence of gods and demons after the fall of countless gods and demons in the past. The tree body is just its form." The Great Freedom Demon jumped out from somewhere and responded with a smile.

Zhang Chen's face darkened when he heard this: "Then what should we do? How can we collect this tree coffin and the corpse of the god and demon?"

There is no way he can break this light shield.

"You?" The Great Freedom Demon looked Zhang Chen up and down. "You can't rely on your own strength. How can an ant like you break the ancient divine prohibition?"

"We can't break this forbidden spell, but don't panic, because the court has a way. The court has a twelfth-level mystery that can definitely break this light shield." At this point, the Great Freedom Heavenly Demon said: "Perhaps the Pingbian Palace also has a way."

"This is the corpse of an ancient god and demon, and this Tree of Life is a priceless treasure. Can we just leave it to the imperial court and the Prince of Pingbian's Palace?" Zhang Chen felt unwilling.

"There is another way. It's the box that dropped from the corpse before. There may be a surprise in it that can help you break into the tomb." said the Great Freedom Demon.

Thinking of the box he had snatched from Chai Chuanxin, Zhang Chen's eyes suddenly lit up and he quickly took out the box. Looking at the box carefully, he found that it was only the size of a palm and his material could not be seen. The box was a whole piece and there was no visible way to open it.

"How do I open the box?" Zhang Chen asked.

"The box is covered with a special forbidden spell. Perhaps Chen Xu's two brushes can brush it open." said the Great Freedom Demon.

Zhang Chen glanced at the Great Freedom Demon and took it back directly. Then he looked at the coffin with reluctance, especially the female corpse in the coffin: "Niece, it's not that I don't want to save you, but I really can't break your defense. I can only wait until I am stronger in the future, and then I will save you from the sea of ​​suffering."

At this point, Zhang Chen walked around the Tree of Life and shook his head secretly: "It's really stingy. Not even a single skill was dropped."

Zhang Chen looked at the Tree of Life in front of him. He felt unwilling if he didn't get something from it.

But after walking around for a while, he realized that it was like a dog biting a hedgehog and he had no idea where to start, so he could only turn around and leave.

Zhang Chen turned into mist and disappeared into the passage. He couldn't take the coffin away. As for leaving it to the Pingbian Palace? That was even more impossible! Zhang Chen made up his mind to go back and tell Xie Lingyun to ask the Inspection Office to help. Maybe he could take advantage of the situation and get a share of the profits.

Zhang Chen left reluctantly, stroking the box in his arms. He felt that the way to break the tree coffin was inside the box.

The imperial court and the Censorate might not have the means to break through the defenses of the tree coffin.

Zhang Chen quickly shuttled through the collapsed passage along the way. As he left the core of the Feng Shui formation, the passage did not collapse seriously and was preserved instead. The passage only had some rubble and more cracks.

But when he was halfway through the journey, he suddenly heard a burst of crazy laughter from a cave in the distance: "Hahaha! Hahaha! I never thought that I, Chai Chuanxin, would be so lucky today. I just randomly hid in a cave to avoid the earthquake and collapse, and I actually got such a great fortune."

The echoes in the cave kept echoing back and forth. Zhang Chen couldn't help but stop the movement of the water flow he transformed into: "Is it Tushan Qing, the vixen?"

"This vixen hasn't escaped yet? The fox fairy Nannan said that Tushan Qing is only at the second level of cultivation?" Zhang Chen recalled Tushan Qing's information, and the next moment he revealed his true form, and then cast the invisibility talisman.

The invisibility talisman he currently has is of the sixth level, and only a seventh-level one can break through his skills. Tu Shan Qing is only of the second level, so how can he break through his invisibility technique?
"That vixen discovered a good fortune. Could it be possible that I could get another unexpected gain?" Zhang Chen muttered to himself.
