I picked up skill fragments in the demon world.

Chapter 275 Stealing Incense
Zhang Xiaohua and Xie Lingyun left, and Liu Feng also said goodbye and left. Only Zhang Chen stood in the yard, watching the people's backs as they walked away, without saying a word. He knew that he could not count on anyone now and could only rely on himself.

"Let me ask Mahadeva first and see what he thinks. I may not adopt his suggestion, but there is no problem in listening to his opinion." Zhang Chen said to himself.

Zhang Chen then summoned the Great Freedom Demon, and a petal flew out from Zhang Chen's palm and transformed into the Great Freedom Demon: "Boy, what do you want me to do?"

"How are you doing with what I asked you to do?" Zhang Chen asked.

Hearing Zhang Chen's words, the Great Freedom Demon chuckled and said, "Of course I will do my best, but it will take a long time to complete the control."

Zhang Chen didn't ask any more questions after hearing that. He was just asking as usual to prevent the Great Freedom Demon from being lazy.

"I've encountered a troublesome matter and need to ask you something." Zhang Chen described the little bean's situation to the Great Freedom Demon. The Great Freedom Demon was surprised when he heard it, and there was a hint of curiosity in his eyes:
"The situation you described is really strange. Unfortunately, I can't figure out anything based on your description. It would be best if I could go to the scene and take a look for myself."

Zhang Chen glanced at the Great Freedom Demon and was somewhat worried about the little girl's physical condition. After being suppressed continuously, he was afraid that the little girl's body could not bear it.

The Great Freedom Demon certainly knew what Zhang Chen was thinking. He sneered at this moment, his voice full of mockery: "I know what you are thinking. What kind of means do I have? There is no need for that little girl to perform soul-leaving. I only need to sense it carefully and I can find out the trick."

"Remember, demon seeds are not allowed to be stationed in Cheng Yu's spirit. Otherwise, you know my methods. Even if I can't kill you, I will destroy as many demon seeds as you have." Zhang Chen stared at the Great Freedom Demon and warned.

"This is meaningless, kid. There is no conflict of interest between us, so how could I harm you? But I still suggest that you let me stay in the heart of that little girl. A palace transformed by incense appeared inexplicably in that little girl's body. Don't you think it's strange? It's just in case for me to stay there. You have the ability to guard against me, but you may not be able to guard against the cultivators of Huang Tiandao." The Great Freedom Demon looked at Zhang Chen cautiously.

"If it wasn't the hidden hand left by Huang Tiandao, it would be fine. But if it was really Huang Tiandao who was behind this, no matter who it was, I, the ancestor, can give him a surprise." There was a hint of murderous intent in the eyes of the Great Freedom Demon.

Zhang Chen was a little hesitant when he heard this. To be honest, he was moved by what the Great Freedom Demon said. He had the ability to restrain the Great Freedom Demon, but he might not be able to do anything to those people in the Huang Tian Dao.

Especially the mysterious and elusive Great Heavenly Master, who made Zhang Chen extremely fearful.

"Boy, it's better to make plans early and be prepared for any eventuality!" said the Great Freedom Demon with a smile.

Zhang Chen glanced at the Great Freedom Demon, then looked at the Soul-Snatching Skill on his own cheating board. Even if the Great Freedom Demon really caused some trouble, he would find a chance to upgrade his skills, and then he would definitely be able to restrain the Great Freedom Demon.

Once the opponent is marked, it will be difficult for him to escape Zhang Chen's control in his life.

"Let's talk about it later. Let's see the situation first."

Zhang Chen led the Great Freedom Demon into the house and saw the little kid standing in a stance to mobilize his Qi and blood. The Great Freedom Demon came forward and circled around the little kid, then came to Zhang Chen. Zhang Chen was sitting on a recliner watching the little kid practicing martial arts. When he saw the Great Freedom Demon return, he asked, "Can you see anything?"

“I heard from people that during the creation of the world, if a god or demon fell, they would turn into all things in the world and become a unique creation between heaven and earth.” said the Great Freedom Demon.

"What do you mean?" Zhang Chen was shocked when he heard this, and a bad premonition came to his mind.

"Someone has used the power of incense to irrigate the body of this little girl using a secret method. Perhaps he wants to imitate the ancient times and make this little girl transform into heaven and earth. The continuous palaces you see in the incense, aren't they the prototype of the future world?" said the Great Freedom Heavenly Demon.

"Damn it! These guys really deserve to be cut into pieces! This must be Huang Tiandao's plan." Zhang Chen gnashed his teeth in hatred. The little kid has been living in Huangli Temple all his life. Who else could it be if not Huang Tiandao's plan?

She is just a child and should not suffer such persecution.

"A beast worse than an animal." Zhang Chen was filled with resentment: "Is there any way to resolve this?"

"We are not strong enough, even if we have secret methods, it will be useless." said the Great Freedom Demon.

“Are we just going to watch this little girl die?” Zhang Chen felt unwilling.

"I have no way, but you may have a chance to resolve the little girl's disaster." The Great Freedom Demon said after hesitating for a moment.

Zhang Chen was puzzled when he heard this: "If I had a way, I would have used it long ago. Why would I invite you here?"

"Let me ask you, which is the most powerful force in the world?" asked the Great Freedom Demon.

"Of course it's Huang Tiandao." Zhang Chen replied without hesitation.

Hearing Zhang Chen's words, the Great Freedom Heavenly Demon shook his head and said, "You are wrong. The most powerful force in the world that controls the way of incense and fire is Buddhism. In front of the wonderful method of Buddhism to control the way of incense and fire, Huang Tiandao is just a little brother."

Zhang Chen's pupils shrank upon hearing this, and his heart was shaken. He understood what the other party meant: "So you have a secret Buddhist method that can resolve the disaster of Little Bean?"

"Of course I didn't." said the Great Freedom Demon.

"Then you should know where it is?" Zhang Chen asked again.

“I don’t know where it is either.” said the Great Freedom Demon.

"What the hell are you talking about?" Zhang Chen cursed angrily.

Unexpectedly, upon hearing this, the Great Freedom Demon suddenly smiled and pointed at Zhang Chen and said, "Don't be upset yet. I don't have it, but you do."

"I have?" Zhang Chen was stunned, not understanding what he meant. How could he have the magical power of Buddhism?

"The six-character mantra is the ultimate evolution of all Buddhist teachings. These six characters are both mantras and magic weapons. If you are willing, they are mantras and magical powers. If you regard them as magic weapons, then they are magic weapons. To refine these six-character mantras into magic weapons, you need a huge amount of faith. If you send the six-character mantras into that palace and plunder the endless faith in the palace, then not only will the crisis of Xiao Douding be resolved, but your six-character mantra stickers will also be cultivated into magic weapons." The voice of the Great Freedom Demon was full of burning:
"Moreover, with the blessing of the 'Magic Treasure Six-Character Mantra', if you mobilize the magical power of the Six-Character Mantra in the future, the power of the Magic Treasure Six-Character Mantra will also bless you in the dark, which will be beneficial to you." Upon hearing this, Zhang Chen did not care about the Six-Character Mantra sticker stealing faith, but focused his attention on the Great Freedom Heavenly Demon. Wasn't the Great Freedom Heavenly Demon too eager for the Six-Character Mantra sticker?

"Don't think too much. I'm just doing an experiment. If the lost six-word mantra sticker can be reappeared, then I may be able to rebuild my body and come back to life with the help of incense and faith in the future." The eyes of the Great Freedom Demon were full of burning: "In this desperate era, it may be possible to find a completely new path."

Zhang Chen pondered over how much truth there was in the Great Freedom Demon's words, but after pondering for a long time, he still came to no avail. Finally, he suddenly made a decision: "Even if the six-character mantra sticker is refined, it is still my six-character mantra sticker. It will be of great benefit to me and will not cause any harm."

Moreover, he is now faced with the problem of the little bean and is truly helpless. He cannot come up with a feasible solution. He cannot just watch the little bean walk into the endless abyss.

"How do I refine the six-word mantra into a magic weapon?" Zhang Chen asked. He felt that this was not a simple task.

“Only invisible and intangible things, with the help of incense and faith, can turn falsehood into reality and create a truly immortal treasure.” said the Great Freedom Heavenly Demon.

"Speak human language." Zhang Chen indicated that he did not understand and interrupted the Great Freedom Demon's pretense.

“Use gold to cast and pull it into gold wire, and then use the gold wire to make a copy of the calligraphy. Engrave your six-character mantra on it with magic power, and then place a wisp of your heavenly soul on it as an invisible and formless object. That’s it. As long as the incense palace appears, you will insert the six-character mantra into it, and then silently activate the six-character mantra, control the wisp of heavenly soul to absorb the incense and faith, and it will be done.” said the Great Freedom Heavenly Demon.

Zhang Chen felt that gold might not be as good as Taiyi Gengjin. He had melted Taiyi Gengjin in his Bagua furnace, so he asked, "I have Taiyi Gengjin. If I use Taiyi Gengjin as a replacement, will the effect be better?"

"What are you thinking! Do you think that when I ask you to use gold, it is as simple as just using gold? What is really used is the immortality of the gold contained in gold. Gold is just a pretense of the main body. When it succeeds, the gold substance will separate and turn into nothingness and dissipate." The Great Freedom Demon seemed to be looking at a fool:
"To me, there is no difference between the so-called Taiyi Gengjin, gold, and even Xiantian Gengjin. The immortal nature of gold is the same."

Zhang Chen didn't quite understand, but he just did as he was told.

It was not difficult for him to obtain gold, but pulling the gold into silk threads and weaving them into posts was extremely difficult.

Fortunately, the gold thread is soft, and it is not very difficult to weave it into a post, as long as you have good skills.

"So now we need to find someone who is clever and deft. I can't do this, but it is not difficult for Xie Lingyun. I'll have to trouble Xie Lingyun for this." Zhang Chen thought to himself that Xie Lingyun had not gone far, so he walked out quickly and chased after him outside the Taoist temple.

Sure enough, Zhang Chen caught up with Xie Lingyun in the front hall. He saw Xie Lingyun walking in front with an expressionless face, and the young prince Zhang Xiaohua was following behind happily.

Zhang Chen couldn't help but shake his head secretly when he saw this scene. Zhang Xiaohua really had big plans.

"Commander Xie, please stay." Zhang Chen shouted from a distance.

Xie Lingyun paused and turned to look at Zhang Chen. Zhang Xiaohua beside him also looked at Zhang Chen and asked with a smile, "Junior apprentice brother Zhang, what do you want to ask Commander Xie?"

"I have something private to discuss with Commander Xie." Zhang Chen said as he came in front of Xie Lingyun.

Xie Lingyun glanced at Zhang Xiaohua, who was quite tactful and said to Xie Lingyun and Zhang Chen, "Tell me, I remember there are still some things in the Taoist temple that have not been dealt with."

After Zhang Xiaohua left, Xie Lingyun and Zhang Chen came to a corner. Seeing that there was no one around, Xie Lingyun asked, "What are you calling me for in such a hurry?"

"I would like to trouble you to do something for me. I want to make a copybook with gold thread. The gold must be pure enough. I would like to trouble you to pay for it first. I will return it to you next time I go down the mountain." Zhang Chen said.

Xie Lingyun disagreed when he heard this: "It's just a little bit of gold, it's nothing."

Zhang Chen didn't say anything more after hearing this, but just kept it in mind and would give her the gold later. There was really no need to say much about his friendship with Xie Lingyun.

Zhang Chen then told Xie Lingyun about the size. Xie Lingyun made a rough calculation and said, "It won't take much gold. One pound is enough."

Zhang Chen thanked Xie Lingyun repeatedly and sent him out the door.

On the way back, Zhang Xiaohua stopped Zhang Chen and asked, "Zhang, what did you say to Commander Xie? Is there anything you can do for Commander Xie?"

Zhang Chen couldn't help but frown when he saw Zhang Xiaohua's arrogant look, but he didn't want to have a conflict with Zhang Xiaohua at this time. For him, staying in the Taoist temple to plan the higher level of Qigong should be the first priority, as a little impatience would ruin a big plan.

"As you know, my family is still in the Procuratorate, so of course I'll ask Chief Xie to help look after them." Zhang Chen said with a smile, but in his heart he had murderous intentions towards Zhang Xiaohua: "I wonder if the Great Freedom Demon has planted a demon seed in Zhang Xiaohua's body?"

With a slight feeling in his heart, he knew that the demon seed had been planted. He sensed the mark of the Great Freedom Demon in Zhang Xiaohua's soul, so he nodded secretly in his heart: "Good boy, I want to see how long you can hold out. When the Great Freedom Demon devours you and controls your body, then the Pingbian Palace will be mine."

"Commander Xie, have you said when you will come again?" Zhang Xiaohua asked, her eyes full of earnestness.

"It may take more than ten days at most, or three to five days at least. Your Highness does not need to be anxious." Zhang Chen said.

"Hahaha, come on, come on, I'll treat you to a drink." Zhang Xiaohua had a smile on her face at this time. She put her arm around Zhang Chen's shoulders and dragged Zhang Chen to the backyard.

On the way to Zhang Xiaohua's residence, Zhang Chen noticed something was wrong.

Sure enough, when drinking and eating, Zhang Chen noticed something different. After the wine entered his throat, the blood flow rate suddenly accelerated, and a strange medicinal power appeared in his blood.

"This medicinal power... can scatter a person's spirit? But my current strength cannot be harmed by this mere medicinal power. I want to see what Zhang Xiaohua wants to do." Zhang Chen's heart was filled with murderous intent. The blood-red water in the sea of ​​blood rolled, and the medicinal power that entered Zhang Chen's blood was directly turned into nothingness.
