I picked up skill fragments in the demon world.

Chapter 229 Seizing the Yin and Yang Qi
These two skills of mine were transformed from the yin and yang energies. If they could be taken away so easily or snatched away, how could I ever be able to get such treasures?
"Can you help me? If you can, I'd be very grateful! How do you plan to help me?" Chen Xu looked at Zhang Chen with a pair of eyes that were sparkling and full of sincerity and excitement: "If it weren't for these two skills, I would have mastered a more powerful mystery and become a god."

Zhang Chen smiled upon hearing this: "Please summon those two brushes, sir."

Since Zhang Chen had obtained the method of refining the divine whip, he had also obtained various means of collecting the innate yin and yang energies, the innate energies of the five elements, etc.

Zhang Chen obtained a forbidden technique from the inheritance of the Divine Whip, called: Qi Ban Technique.

This forbidden method was created specifically for the purpose of gathering the yin and yang energies.

Zhang Chen received the inheritance and naturally mastered all the key points.

Upon hearing this, Chen Xu summoned two brushes and let them float in front of him. In the past, a Yangshen Zhenren had tried to use his brushes, but so what? Didn't he still return empty-handed?

Seeing Chen Xu's cooperation, Zhang Chen thought to himself, "Chen Xu is too arrogant. Does he really think that no one in the world can do anything to these two people?"

Zhang Chen looked at the two brushes of black and white that were constantly rotating. The next moment, he spread out his left hand, then used the magic power of his right hand to quickly draw mysterious runes on the palm of his left hand.

Zhang Chen drew the runes very quickly. After thirty breaths, hundreds of runes were already drawn and connected together on his palm. Then the runes on Zhang Chen's left palm flickered and turned into a symbol in the shape of a porcelain bottle. Then Zhang Chen turned his palm outward and aimed at the two black and white brushes, chanting a mantra: "Come!"

In an instant, Zhang Chen's twelfth-level magic power was exhausted and was directly drained. The symbol in the palm of his hand sucked the black and white brushes. The next moment, a stream of air flew out from the black and white brushes and was absorbed by the bottle mouth. The gloss of the black and white brushes actually dimmed.

Then the two brushes seemed to be frightened rabbits. They turned into black and white streams of light and drilled into Chen Xu's body through his nostrils.

"What is this?" Chen Xu on the side was stunned, his eyes full of disbelief. He had never encountered such a thing since he got the skills.

No matter how powerful you are, you are helpless when facing your own brush. But who would have known that this evil guy Zhang Chen actually snatched something from your brush?
Zhang Chen's Qi training formula started running automatically, and the magic power consumed in his body was rapidly restored. At this time, a wisp of innate Yin and Yang Qi was flowing in the bottle symbol in Zhang Chen's palm.

"Brother Taoist, please summon out those two brushes. I will continue to use my skills. Today I must fulfill your wish and make those two brushes leave your body." Zhang Chen looked at Chen Xu with a smile.

Chen Xu's expression changed when he heard that. At this moment, his body suddenly twisted and turned into black and white light, and disappeared from the tent without a trace.

Zhang Chen was stunned when he saw this scene, and then he said thoughtfully: "These two brushes are quite interesting. I originally wanted to get more wool. But who knew that the two brushes turned into yin and yang energy and flew away. However, this wisp of yin and yang energy is enough for me."

"The next step is to look for spiritual fire, and then find an Eight Trigrams furnace, so that I can start refining the embryo of the magic weapon." Zhang Chen had a clear idea in his mind, and the next moment he left directly with the invisibility talisman attached.

The so-called Bagua furnace is not a real Bagua furnace, but a Feng Shui pattern of heaven and earth. That Feng Shui pattern gathers the energy of the Bagua, has good fortune buried, and can draw the power of heaven and earth, thus forming incredible achievements.

"Spiritual fire is hard to find. The only hope is Zhong Xiang's Qilin flame. That flame is enough to sacrifice my God-beating Whip. But how to convince Zhong Xiang is a difficult task. And the Feng Shui formation of the Eight Trigrams Furnace is also a rare treasure. It takes time to find such a natural formation. The most important thing now is to find Xie Lingyun, tell Xie Lingyun the news of the tree coffin, and then use the power of the Inspection Office to find such a natural place of good fortune." Zhang Chen walked out of the camp, looking at the flames rising into the night sky, with a touch of emotion in his eyes:
"The Pingbian Palace must have gone crazy! They actually set fire to the mountain. Once this mountain range of hundreds of miles starts burning, the fire will probably be difficult to control."

But this has nothing to do with Zhang Chen. He burned his people and his territory. What does it have to do with me?
"And that old loach, whose soul is hiding in the deepest part of the tomb..." Zhang Chen stepped on the ground and thought of the old Dragon King. A thought ran through his mind: "Could this old guy be causing more trouble? But he's already dead, could he want to be resurrected?"

Countless thoughts were running through Zhang Chen's mind, but he still couldn't figure it out, so he turned around and left, turning into a vampire bat and flying towards Goulan County.

Zhang Chen returned to the inn to wash up. It was already late at night, and Zhang Chen did not disturb Xie Lingyun. Instead, he meditated in the inn to practice his magic power.

At dawn, there was a knock on the door, and Xie Lingyun appeared outside Zhang Chen's door.

"You're here just in time." Zhang Chen opened the door and looked at Xie Lingyun, marveling at the strength of the Inspection Office.

"It's just a mere Gou Lan County. If my Inspection Office cannot grasp the slightest disturbance in such a small Gou Lan County, how can we grasp the overall situation of the world?" There was a hint of pride in Xie Lingyun's voice.

The two walked into the house. After Xie Lingyun sat down, he stared at Zhang Chen with his eyes, which made Zhang Chen feel very uncomfortable: "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"What was the killing weapon you used when you rushed out of the Pingbian Palace that day?" Xie Lingyun looked at Zhang Chen with burning eyes.

This kind of killing weapon is simply the nemesis of all armies and warriors.

"They are just some little tricks I got by chance, not worth mentioning." Zhang Chen laughed it off. The gunpowder matter was of great importance, so he would not leak it out.

This is just a lie! If this is a small trick, then what is a big trick?
Seeing that Zhang Chen was unwilling to say more, Xie Lingyun did not want to continue asking, so he changed the subject: "How is the tomb?"

"I was just about to tell you about this tomb." Upon hearing this, Zhang Chen quickly recounted what happened inside the tomb.

Xie Lingyun sat up in shock after hearing this: "The Immortal Tree Coffin? The flesh body of the ancient gods and demons? Once this news gets out, I'm afraid the world will be in chaos. I will immediately go back to report to the chieftain and ask him to personally take the tree coffin back. This news can't be concealed for long, and it will definitely be discovered by Huang Tiandao. Once Huang Tiandao takes action, it will be even more troublesome!"

Xie Lingyun was stunned by the news from Zhang Chen. Whether it was the coffin of the immortal tree or the body of the ancient god or demon, the court would never give up.

"Don't worry, I have something else to ask you." Zhang Chen hurriedly called out to Xie Lingyun.

Xie Lingyun turned around and looked at Zhang Chen: "Anything else?"

"I want you to help me find a place." Zhang Chen quickly told him the location of the Bagua Furnace.

"This is a simple matter. Just wait for my news." Xie Lingyun hurried away after he finished speaking, leaving Zhang Chen standing in the inn, holding the twelfth-order bead in his hand and thinking: This thing is a twelfth-order god. If it can be integrated, it can gain the power of the twelfth-order god, but this thing is not very useful to me. What I cultivate is mana, so it is better to refine it into a magic weapon. This thing is condensed by the law of earth, which can replace the essence of the innate earth. For the time being, the embryo of the magic weapon will be sacrificed and refined, and then replaced after finding various innate qi in the future.

"Now I lack the means to restrain masters in the realm of controlling objects. My righteous divine light can harm Yin gods, but it must come into contact with the Yin gods' main body. And the powerful Yin gods directly control matter to suppress and attack. My righteous divine light is simply useless against the opponent's means of controlling objects. But if I can refine it into a divine whip, it will be a different story. At that time, one whip will directly beat the opponent's soul back to the body, or directly beat the opponent's soul to pieces. This is truly domineering." Zhang Chen pondered in his heart.

Moreover, if he wants to completely refine this bead and unleash all of its twelve-level divine power, it will take an unknown amount of time.

"Go find that kid Zhong Xiang and try to borrow the Qilin Flame."

Zhang Chen used the Qilin flame only to ignite the pattern of the Bagua furnace and ignite the vitality of the Bagua furnace. The flame was just like a lighter, which played the role of igniting the furnace.

When Zhang Chen opened the door and wanted to look for Zhong Xiang, he saw Zhong Xiang already standing outside his house.

"Is it so easy to find my whereabouts? If so, shouldn't the Prince Pingbian's Mansion be here soon?" Zhang Chen looked at Zhong Xiang outside the door and became alert.

"Xie Lingyun instructed me to come here. I want to make a deal with you." Zhong Xiang looked at Zhang Chen and forced a smile that was uglier than crying. For him, asking for help was not an easy thing.

"What deal?" Zhang Chen looked at Zhong Xiang with curiosity, his eyes full of surprise. Is this kid still asking for help?

"You...you...the two questions you asked on the stage that day were really too tricky. They made my grandfather get stuck in a dead end. Can you enlighten him? Help him get out of the dead end?" Zhong Xiang said helplessly.

If it weren't for the fight for the tree coffin, and if the little grandfather was not the top master in his own camp, he would not come here to beg for help.

The subsequent fight for the tree coffin is related to the future direction of the world situation. The Zhong family cannot handle it alone, and must have the assistance of a master.

Moreover, countless Confucian scholars were infected with the curse. Although it was not Zhong Xiang's fault, some people still put the blame on Zhong Xiang. Now everyone's dissatisfaction with Zhong Xiang has reached its peak. Zhong Xiang needs his grandfather to recover and support him to stabilize the situation.

The Confucian Dao Heart is very wonderful. It can be broken in an instant, and it can also be condensed in an instant. As long as I can untie the knot in my grandfather's heart, it won't be difficult to restore his Dao Heart.

"So it's about this matter? What a coincidence, I also have something to ask of you." Zhang Chen looked at Zhong Xiang with a smile on his face. Isn't this a coincidence?

"Come inside and talk! The Pingbian Palace is searching for your whereabouts like crazy now. You must not let them see you and implicate me." Zhong Xiang said as he pushed Zhang Chen away and walked straight into the house.

"Are you still afraid of the Pingbian Palace?" Zhang Chen looked at Zhong Xiang in surprise.

"You won't understand even if I tell you." Zhong Xiang said unhappily.

As he spoke, Zhong Xiang took out a handful of hay from his sleeve and put it into his mouth to chew.

When Zhang Chen saw Zhong Xiang chewing grass, the corners of his mouth twitched and he almost couldn't help wanting to laugh.

"I want to ask you to do a favor." Zhang Chen went straight to the point and told him that he wanted to use the Qilin flame to ignite the Bagua furnace.

"Refine treasure? What treasure do you want to refine?" Zhong Xiang became interested at this time.

Zhang Chen covered it up and said, "This is a treasure that concerns life. Just tell me whether you will help or not."

"I help you? You still have the nerve to beg me? You have destroyed my grandfather's spiritual heart, and you still have the nerve to beg me??? How can you be so shameless!!! You are lucky that I didn't kill you, and you still dare to beg me?" Zhong Xiang sneered when he heard this.

"Isn't that a misunderstanding? If I had known in advance that the old man was our grandfather, how could I have dared to do it? Besides, aren't we trading fairly now? I'll go and persuade your grandfather and enlighten him, and you'll help me light the fire. This is a best of both worlds deal!"

Mr. Wu only crippled Chen Sanliang, and Han Suzhen's death had nothing to do with Mr. Wu, so Zhang Chen did not want to make a mortal enemy with Confucianism.

Zhang Chen apologized, staring at Zhong Xiang. He quietly pulled out the immobilization talisman from his sleeve and held it between his fingers, thinking about the chances of success. If Zhong Xiang did not agree to his terms of trade, he could just take the opportunity to kidnap Zhong Xiang. At worst, he could just stab Zhong Xiang in the butt.

Zhang Chen opened his eyes and looked at Zhong Xiang. He saw that Zhong Xiang was surrounded by a layer of faint red light. The red energy kept flowing, protecting his body at all times. It seemed that this kid Zhong Xiang was scared of his trick and kept protecting himself all the time. The success rate of taking action himself was not high.

Just when Zhang Chen was thinking about how to attack Zhong Xiang, Zhong Xiang suddenly changed the subject: "If you can answer my grandfather's doubts and help him to concentrate his mind, I can help you once."

The gold and silver talismans in Zhang Chen's sleeves disappeared together, and he looked at Zhong Xiang with joy: "Brother Zhong, I knew you were the best and the most reasonable."

Upon hearing this, Zhong Xiang gave Zhang Chen an unpleasant look and was too lazy to pay attention to him.

"Let's go quickly and see our grandpa." Zhang Chen said with a grin.

Seeing that the thing he was most worried about was solved, he felt rare joy in his heart.

"Let's go!" Zhong Xiang rolled his eyes at Zhang Chen. He had no way to deal with the smiling Zhang Chen, so he turned around and walked out of the house.
