I picked up skill fragments in the demon world.

Chapter 280: Infiltration
"Controlling all water flows within 500 meters is quite useful. In particular, you can use the water flow to freeze all the fourth-order monsters within five meters around you. This skill is very useful. But if you want to upgrade from the fourth order to the fifth order, you need five million points. Is Gold Finger going crazy? He's asking for such a huge amount of money?" Zhang Chen looked at the five million points, then at his remaining 400,000 skill points. He decisively gave up and looked at the next skill.

The sixth skill visualization method can be upgraded, and it only requires 400,000 experience points, so it can be upgraded. However, for Zhang Chen, his visualization method is enough at this time. If the visualization method is upgraded, his consciousness will undergo unpredictable changes and step into the unknown spiritual realm, which may bring disaster. Therefore, Zhang Chen hesitated for a moment and temporarily gave up upgrading the visualization method.

If the visualization method becomes powerful, one can enter the second heaven from the first heaven of the spiritual world. However, Zhang Chen knows his own abilities. He hasn't figured out the first heaven yet. If he enters the second heaven, he doesn't know what kind of trouble he will cause. If he rushes in without any preparation, he will be in big trouble.

Zhang Chen's gaze shifted away from the visualization skill and fell on the various talismans.

The fifth-level immobilization talisman requires 1.2 million skill points. There is no need to think about it because Zhang Chen does not have enough skill points.

The fifth-level town character requires two million points, so don't even think about it.

The invisibility talisman also requires 1.6 million points. Zhang Chen wondered in his heart whether he should add the invisibility talisman tomorrow. When the invisibility talisman is upgraded to the twelfth level, he could go to the Pingbian Palace openly and take away the physical body of the imperial daughter from the Pingbian Palace.

Now it seems that with this huge supply of points, there is still hope for me to perfect the invisibility technique.

Zhang Chen shifted his gaze away from the invisibility technique and looked at the other types of skills on the side. The skills that can be upgraded at this time are: Divine Mist Transformation, Fire-Repelling Talisman, Water-Fixing Talisman, and Hard Earth Talisman.

Zhang Chen's eyes fell on the Divine Mist Transformation. The Divine Mist Transformation was used to travel quietly and infiltrate secretly, which was the most mysterious. Moreover, this magical power was quite mysterious and could be used in many situations.

[10th skill (Level 0): Divine Mist Transformation (100000/)]

"The third-level Divine Mist Transformation only requires 100,000 skill points, which is just a drizzle for me. If I can find a safer way to enter and exit the Taoist temple, it would be a good deal." Zhang Chen thought to himself and added the points directly.

In an instant, 100,000 points evaporated, leaving only 300,000 points.

At this time, the Shenwu Change Gold Finger layout also changed:
【10技能（三阶）：神雾变（0/100000）】——>【10技能（四阶）：渗透变（0/200000）】

Looking at the changes in the skill panel, Zhang Chen's eyes showed a hint of surprise: "Infiltration? What a strange name?"

Looking at the notes again, it says: [Can penetrate the soil and move through it. ]

Zhang Chen couldn't help but show joy when he saw the introduction of this skill. Being able to move through the mud raised the concealment to an exaggerated level.

"Isn't this the equivalent of the Earth Escape Technique? Water seeps through the soil, no wonder it has the name of seepage."

Zhang Chen pondered in his heart.

At this time, there were still 300,000 experience points left, and to upgrade the Infiltration to the fifth level, only 200,000 experience points were needed, so Zhang Chen added the points without thinking.

The points were directly deducted, leaving only 100,000 points, and the Gold Finger screen changed again:
【10技能（四阶）：渗透变（0/200000）】———>【10技能（四阶）：渗透变*穿石（0/400000）】

[Note: Not only can it travel through mud, but it can also travel through stones.]

"This skill is quite good." Zhang Chen's eyes became brighter and brighter, and the more he looked at this skill, the more satisfied he was.

At this time, there were only 12 points left. Zhang Chen looked at the Fire Repellent Talisman: [0th Skill (Level 64000): Fire Repellent Talisman (/)]

Zhang Chen didn't even think twice and directly cleared the points and added them up. Then he saw the points turned into 36,000, and the layout of the twelfth skill also changed:
【12技能（五阶）：辟火符（0/64000）】——>【12技能（六阶）：辟火符（0/128000）】

[Note: You can ward off level 6 flames.]

The notes are simple and unremarkable, and the points required are very few, at least compared to the other skills.

There were still 36,000 left. Zhang Chen looked at the Water-fixing Talisman and the Hard Earth Talisman. Thinking that Huang Li Temple was going to confer the title of Water God, Zhang Chen chose to upgrade the Water-fixing Talisman:
【14技能（一阶）：定水符（0/4000）】———>【14技能（四阶）：定水符（0/32000）】

Notes:

[Note: You can freeze the fourth-order water flow within 50 meters around you.]

The skill of the Water-Fixing Talisman is of little use to Zhang Chen, but after it is upgraded, it may be of some use to the appointed Water God in the future.

Thinking of Xie Lingyun's intention to kill the gods, Zhang Chen suddenly had an idea: "I always feel that it is not good. I am afraid that Xie Lingyun is going to fail. I might as well upgrade the water-fixing talisman in the next few days. It may be of great use in dealing with the so-called water god in the future, and it can be a fatal blow."

As for the fact that he belonged to Huang Tiandao's camp but helped Xie Lingyun, he threw this idea behind the second door. Now Zhang Xiaohua has joined Huang Tiandao, and her status is higher than his. The situation of Xiaodouding is unclear. No matter how you look at it, he and Huang Tiandao are not the same kind of people.

If it weren't for the Qi training mantra and to resolve the problem with the little kid, he would have run away long ago.

"I've decided. I'll upgrade the Water-Fixing Talisman first. If an accident really happens when I'm killing the gods, I might still have a chance to save it." Zhang Chen secretly made up his mind.

Just then the bell for morning classes rang. Zhang Chen hurriedly put away the wooden bucket, then disappeared into the night with the mop.

When Zhang Chen returned to the yard, Xiao Douding had already gotten up. He was standing in Zhang Chen's room with a worried look on his face, pacing back and forth.

Hearing Zhang Chen opening the door, and seeing Zhang Chen's figure clearly with the help of the firelight, the little kid complained, "Zhang Chen, why did you come back just now?"

"I've done something big!" Zhang Chen lowered his voice, picked up his tools and began to wash up: "I'll come back this late every night from now on, you don't have to worry about me."

Cheng Yu frowned slightly when he heard this, and said with some concern: "Zhang Chen, our Taoist temple is not that simple. Although I don't know what you want to do, I want to tell you that you must be careful and don't cause trouble, otherwise it will be a big deal."

It can be seen that Xiaodouding is very worried about Zhang Chen.

Hearing this, Zhang Chen touched the little kid's head and said, "Don't worry, I have the ability to escape, and no one can catch me. If I wasn't absolutely sure, I would never do it." The little kid was still skeptical, but didn't say much, because she knew she couldn't persuade Zhang Chen.

After they washed up, they went to morning class together. After the class, Zhang Chen returned to the room and fell asleep. Although he was practicing Taoism and cultivating Qi, he also needed sleep.

The days seemed to have quieted down and everything was calm.

But Zhang Chen knew in his heart that this was the last calm before the storm, and it would not be long before a torrential rain would sweep across the entire Huangli Temple: the Battle of Killing Gods.

Just as Zhang Chen closed his eyes, he fell into a dream again in a trance the next moment.

Zhang Chen did not panic this time. Apart from his rebellious niece, who else had the ability to pull him into a dream?
However, this dream was very unique. Zhang Chen appeared directly in a void, and saw his eldest niece with disheveled hair, dressed as a female ghost, with a big tongue hanging out, staring at him with a green face and fangs.

"Scare me? She does look a little scary." Zhang Chen looked at the princess's look and approved of her outfit.

But the next moment, before Zhang Chen could finish his words, the princess' hair wrapped around him again, restraining Zhang Chen, and then she started beating and kicking him.

Can't beat it!
Zhang Chen really couldn't win and could only defend himself without any power to fight back. Facing his rebellious niece, Zhang Chen had no ability to resist at all and could only hold his head to avoid the opponent's attacks.

"I say, stop fighting. Can't I find a way to steal your body? You have to give me some time, right?" Zhang Chen's voice was full of grievance.

What can he do?
He is also very helpless!

But the princess didn't listen to him and just started punching and kicking.

After the little boy finished practicing, he came to Zhang Chen's room to play, and saw a scene that shocked him. Zhang Chen's face on the bed was inexplicably swollen, as if he had been beaten by someone. In the blink of an eye, his face was swollen like a pig's head.

The little kid blinked his eyes and looked at the scene in front of him, his mind full of confusion: "Who am I? Where am I? Where should I go?"

"Could this be a method of cultivating immortality and practicing Qi? Or is he practicing some kind of magical power? What a cruel method." The little kid smacked his lips secretly, turned around and quietly left the house, not daring to disturb Zhang Chen.

If Zhang Chen knew how the little kid behaved, he would definitely grab his face and pull it into a grimace.

If this girl woke me up from my dream, would I still have to continue to be beaten?
Zhang Chen was beaten for five hours in his dream before being let go by the female ghost. He then sat up on the bed in a trance. The next moment he grimaced in pain and quickly circulated his qi and blood to repair his injuries.

After all the scars on his face were healed, Zhang Chen stood up from the bed and said through gritted teeth: "My eldest niece is too naughty. She always makes this kind of joke every time she meets her uncle."

But he knew in his heart that he had to resolve the issue of the Emperor's daughter's physical body as soon as possible, otherwise he would not be able to bear the beatings he would receive every day.

It really hurts, the kind that hurts to the soul and into the bones.

Zhang Chen felt fucked up. He was being entangled by his niece, but what could he do? After all, she was his niece. He could only spoil his niece.

Zhang Chen left the yard and saw no sign of the little kid. He wanted to try out the infiltration transformation. Seeing that there was no one around, Zhang Chen quietly walked to the corner and turned into a stream of water that scattered all over the ground. Then the water that Zhang Chen turned into instantly penetrated into the mud and sand, and rolled through the cracks in the mud and sand, going ten meters underground. Then Zhang Chen rolled away and soon appeared in a mountain outside the Huangli Temple. Then he saw water seeping out of the mud on the ground. The water gathered into a ball in a breath, and then twisted and turned into the appearance of Zhang Chen.

"The speed of infiltration is very slow, about the same as normal walking speed. If you encounter a rocky cliff, the speed will be halved. Especially in dense jungles, those tree roots are obstacles and cages for me, greatly delaying my speed of travel." Zhang Chen stood in the mountains and felt the mystery of the infiltration technique, with a hint of joy in his eyes.

Although it has the disadvantage of being slow, Zhang Chen still wants to say: This skill is very good.

At least from now on, when he entered and exited Huangli Temple, he would be countless times more secretive and it would be difficult for anyone to detect any clues.

After Zhang Chen finished testing the infiltration technique, he had an idea about it in his mind. Then he turned into a stream of water and returned to the Taoist temple. However, when sneaking into the Taoist temple, Zhang Chen seemed to be lost underground. In front of him, there was a wall with golden light flowing, blocking Zhang Chen's way.

"What is this?" Zhang Chen looked at the soil in front of him that was glowing with golden light, a hint of caution in his eyes. The golden light in the soil was the power of incense, which made Zhang Chen alert.

"This place should be thirty meters underground. Is there such a place under the Huangli Temple?" The water flow transformed by Zhang Chen circled around the wall where incense was burned and worshipped, and there was a hint of curiosity in his eyes.

After walking around for a while, he found that this seemed to be an underground secret room, which was very large, as big as a building.

"To open up such a secret room in the deep mountains, and to use incense and divine power for sacrifices, this Huangli Temple must have a secret." Zhang Chen had thoughts running through his mind, and he wanted to sneak in and take a look secretly, but he was now in the state of Divine Water Transformation, and he could not use his magical powers, so he could only circle around the wall.

"This matter is not difficult for me. Now my water control technique has reached 500 meters..." Zhang Chen thought to himself and turned into a stream of water to return to the Taoist temple. Standing in his own yard, he sensed carefully, constantly sensing the flow direction of the underground water.

However, when Zhang Chen was using the groundwater to sense the secret room, he was stunned, because he did not detect any trace of the underground secret room in his groundwater sensing. The area he sensed was normal and there was no weirdness at all.

"How strange~"

The water flow controlled by Zhang Chen circled around the coordinates of the secret room. There was nothing there, just like normal soil. He thought for a moment and did not act rashly. The most important thing for him now was to collect points. The rest were just small and easy things.

Who knows what is in this secret room?
Practice formula?

Gold and silver jewelry?

Or is he some old monster who is practicing in seclusion?

Thinking of the cultivation formula, Zhang Chen couldn't help but feel excited. If there really was a cultivation formula, he would risk giving it a try.

The most crucial thing is that it seems that the opportunity will come soon. When Huang Tiandao is deifying, if the court really decides to kill the gods, Huangli Temple will definitely be in chaos, and that will be his chance.
