I picked up skill fragments in the demon world.

Chapter 282 The Mystery of Yellow Spring Water
Zhang Chen paused, took a look at Wei Yingwu lying on the ground, couldn't help but sigh softly, and turned into a stream of water and disappeared on the spot.

Such a person is not worth his personal attention. If he was not Zhang Xiaohua's confidant, he would not be so cruel to get rid of him.

Such people may not be able to accomplish anything, but if they do something bad, they will definitely do it.

I just want to steal the power of incense quietly and don't want to get involved in any trouble.

Zhang Chen returned to the Taoist temple. The little boy was very smart. Seeing that Zhang Chen came back safely, he did not ask Zhang Chen how things went, as if nothing had happened.

Zhang Chen was lying on the bed sleeping. He was only in the Qi Refining Stage now and had not yet gotten rid of sleep. Then he was beaten black and blue in his sleep.

That night
Zhang Chen came to the lobby again, observing the furnishings of the entire room carefully. Finally, his gaze fell on the two statues of ancestors and the statue of Huang Tian. A golden light flashed in his eyes, but he could not see anything unusual.

Mobilizing his devouring power again, Zhang Chen finally noticed something unusual this time. In the mouth of the ancestor statue, there seemed to be a piece of jade that was shining with a mysterious aura. The jade piece was wrapped in the power of incense, so Zhang Chen's eyes of the light of the righteous god could not see the key to it.

"So the power of incense can blind my eyes?" Zhang Chen thought to himself.

However, if the incense was transformed into divine power, Zhang Chen would no longer be able to hide it at all.

Zhang Chen observed the jade piece for a while and saw that it was actually absorbing the power of the incense. He felt a little strange and thought, "It turns out that I have met a fellow traveler."

He didn't want to meddle in other people's business, so he pretended not to see anything. The incense in Huangli Temple was so strong that it didn't affect Zhang Chen's absorption at all. Even if someone else took a share of the profits, it would have no effect on Zhang Chen.

Two more days passed like this. Zhang Chen concentrated on accumulating points. After two days of accumulation, he finally accumulated two million points.

Zhang Chen looked at the Dingshui Fu page:
[14th skill (level 0): Water-fixing Talisman (2004800/)]

[Points: 2.1 million]

Zhang Chen added points directly, and then saw the Dingshui Talisman change again and upgrade directly:
[14th skill (eleventh level): Water-fixing Talisman (0/4005600)]

"Give me another four days, and I can upgrade the Water-Fixing Talisman to the twelfth level. Then I can deal with a lot of troubles." There was a hint of anticipation in Zhang Chen's eyes.

Originally, he felt a little uneasy when Huang Tiandao was deifying. Now that the Pingbian Palace was trying to interfere, Zhang Chen felt an indescribable sense of urgency in his heart.

"Huangli Temple is now the center of the northern storm. In fact, it is safer to withdraw now. Unfortunately, I have no chance to withdraw." Zhang Chen put away the golden finger page, turned around and disappeared into the night.

Time passed so quickly, and another four days passed. Wei Yingwu's disappearance did not cause any ripples. Zhang Chen listened to the morning bell beside his ears, retracted his swallowed palm, and then looked at the golden finger page:

[14th skill (eleventh level): Water-fixing Talisman (0/4005600)]

[Points: 4.1 million]

"Level 12!" Zhang Chen's heart beat fast at the thought of the skill that was about to be upgraded. This would be his second skill upgraded to level 12 and he didn't know what incredible effects it would bring.

Zhang Chen didn't even think twice and clicked on it. The points evaporated instantly:

[14th skill (level 0): Water-fixing Talisman (8011200/)]

"Eight million points. If I could not become a parasite in Huang Tian Dao, where would I find eight million points?" Zhang Chen muttered to himself.

Eight million would take him eight days, and he would have enough points to break free from the shackles and reach the twelfth level.

Zhang Chen looked towards the Light of the Righteous God. The Light of the Righteous God only needed two million points to upgrade, but Zhang Chen thought about it and decided to hold back. Even if the Light of the Righteous God was upgraded to a higher level, it would not have much impact on him. However, if the Dinghai Pearl was upgraded to a higher level, it would have the power to decide the outcome.

Zhang Chen suppressed his irritation, cleaned the hall, and then turned back to the small building.

Time passed by little by little, and Zhang Chen's life seemed to slow down. Everything returned to calm. Zhang Xiaohua walked out from the backyard again and began to try to build a relationship with Zhang Chen. Zhang Chen was so annoyed that he wanted to tear this face apart, but he forced himself to endure it. He made up his mind that when he left Huangli Temple in the future, he would throw this kid into a sea of ​​blood.

On the fifth day after Zhang Chen upgraded the Dingshui Talisman, Xie Lingyun arrived. Xie Lingyun led the armored guards and came to Huangli Temple again.

"This is what you want." Xie Lingyun took a small package and threw it into Zhang Chen's arms. The package was very heavy, but Zhang Chen held it firmly.

"Sister, you are so fast." Zhang Chen praised. You know, melting, refining, drawing and weaving gold is not an easy task. Xie Lingyun finished it in less than ten days. The speed was really fast.

Hearing Zhang Chen's words, Xie Lingyun smiled and said, "Of course I will do my best to help you. How dare I delay even a little bit?"

Zhang Chen smiled when he heard this. After opening the package, he saw a rolled-up cloth. It was called a cloth roll but it had a metallic texture. It was the six-character mantra sticker woven with gold thread.

Zhang Chen released the ultrasonic wave, and when he saw that no one was watching nearby, he asked, "Sister, have you heard any news about the Immortal Tree Coffin recently?"

He only has four years left to live, and now his longevity depends entirely on the Longevity Tree Coffin. Of course he is concerned.

"What is certain is that the Longevity Tree Coffin is in the north, but it has been lost inexplicably. No one knows where it was hidden by which general manager. Now the spies of the imperial court and the Pingbian Palace have gone crazy, searching frantically in the north, not missing any clues, but the tree coffin is like it has drilled into the sand, and no trace of it can be found at all." Xie Lingyun was also frowning.

Zhang Chen scratched his head when he heard this. He had originally wanted to get some clues from Xie Lingyun, but now it seems that he is disappointed.

However, Xie Lingyun's words "drilling into" the sand made Zhang Chen startled: Sand? He thought of the secret room under Huangli Temple.

"No way? It shouldn't be!" Zhang Chen muttered to himself, "Why would the Longevity Tree Coffin be inside the Huangli Temple? If the Pingbian Palace knew that the Longevity Tree Coffin was underground in the Huangli Temple..."

An idea came to Zhang Chen’s mind. Maybe the Longevity Tree Coffin was not in the Huangli Temple, but if he advertised it...

"The hair on your head...is it okay?" Xie Lingyun's eyes fell on Zhang Chen's hair, with a hint of concern in his eyes.

“The process of cultivating immortals is full of endless dangers. I just made a mistake in my practice. It will be fine after a while.” Zhang Chen covered it up calmly.

"That's good." Xie Lingyun nodded.

"By the way, when practicing visualization, is there any way to help the soul grow stronger and succeed sooner?" Zhang Chen asked. He asked on behalf of the little kid.

"Of course there are. For example, the incense I gave you last time, when lit during cultivation, can help the soul grow stronger. There are also all kinds of strange spiritual objects in the world, which have the effect of nourishing the soul, but these spiritual objects are extremely rare, and you must be very lucky to obtain them. I heard that the best thing to assist in the cultivation of the soul is something called Yellow Spring Water. It is said that Yellow Spring Water was unearthed in a large tomb in the past. That person got the help of Yellow Spring Water and achieved the Yin God in just three years. He wanted to impact the Yang God realm. But unfortunately, this person later encountered a disaster and lost his soul and spirit. He disappeared from the world and no one knows where he went." Xie Lingyun said:
"In addition to the Yellow Spring Water, the most important and precious thing is the Soul Nourishing Wood, as well as the purest crystal ball, or the Emperor's Flowing Juice, and even various strange herbs. In short, there are too many to count."

"Water of the Yellow Spring?" Zhang Chen's heart moved after hearing Xie Lingyun's words. He had this thing. The Water of the Yellow Spring in the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation was inexhaustible. He didn't expect that he had already obtained the best thing for practicing Yin spirit.

Seeing that Zhang Chen was interested in the Yellow Spring Water, Xie Lingyun explained: "When people cultivate their souls, there are always flaws. Either because of innate or acquired factors, impurities appear in the souls, making them less pure. Therefore, when they break through to the Yang God, they will be struck by thunder and die. If they are cleansed by the Yellow Spring Water, it is equivalent to being reborn, and can at least increase the hope of breaking through to the Yang God by 50%. Unfortunately, such a holy product is hard to find in the world. Even if it is born, it will definitely set off a bloody storm."

"I have already cultivated into a Yin God, but it will take at least ten years of hard training before I can have a chance to try to touch the Yang God Avenue. If I can get the water of the Yellow Spring, it can be shortened to five years. And there is an 80% chance that I can survive the catastrophe!" Xie Lingyun's voice was filled with desire.

Zhang Chen did not respond. He decided that next time they met, he would give Xie Lingyun some Yellow Spring Water. If Xie Lingyun could make a breakthrough, it would be a good thing for him.

"I have something to do down the mountain. Let's see each other later." After Xie Lingyun finished speaking, he left in a hurry. It could be seen that Xie Lingyun was very anxious and busy. He came and left in a hurry, which made Zhang Chen feel an inexplicable emotion in his heart. Xie Lingyun treated him very well.

"I must work hard to obtain the Water-Fixing Talisman. Maybe I can turn the tide then." Zhang Chen became more determined to obtain the maximum-level Water-Fixing Talisman.

Xie Lingyun left. Upon hearing the news, the temple master and Zhang Xiaohua hurried over. When they saw that Zhang Chen was the only one in the yard, Zhang Xiaohua's face suddenly darkened: "Where is Xie Lingyun?"

"Thank you, Commander, for going back." Zhang Chen stood up and saluted Liu Feng, then replied to Zhang Xiaohua.

"How could you let her go like this?" Zhang Xiaohua suddenly became anxious. Xie Lingyun had finally come to Huangli Temple, but he hadn't even had a chance to talk to Xie Lingyun. If it continued like this, how long would it take him to catch up with Xie Lingyun?

"Commander Xie wants to make a decision, how can I change it?" Zhang Chen said helplessly.

Zhang Xiaohua was speechless after hearing this. Liu Feng asked curiously:
"Why did Xie Lingyun come to the mountain to see you in such a hurry? She came in such a hurry just to see you?"

It seemed like a curious inquiry, but there was murderous intent between the lines.

Zhang Chen glanced at Liu Feng when he heard this. The old guy must have become suspicious, but Zhang Chen had already thought of an excuse and dealt with it casually.

Liu Feng and Zhang Xiaohua had no choice but to turn around and leave.

Zhang Chen looked at the two men's backs as they walked away, with a plan flashing in his mind. A little kid beside him said, "Junior brother, it looks like we are in trouble."

"The trouble has always been there, but it has been temporarily eliminated because of interests." Zhang Chen touched the little kid's head.

Xiao Douding fell silent after hearing this: "When will we not have so many troubles?"

"As long as we become strong enough, we can solve all the troubles. Don't be anxious, girl. Let's just practice well." Zhang Chen stroked the little kid's head.

Watching the two people's backs as they left, Zhang Chen turned back into the house, turned into a stream of water that seeped into the soil along the gaps in the wooden boards, then sneaked out of the Huangli Temple, and then turned into a vampire bat and disappeared between heaven and earth. When he reappeared, he had arrived at the underground Dragon Palace of the Yangtze River. After setting up the Nine-Bend Yellow River formation, he took out the jade bottles that he had prepared long ago, filled two bottles with the water of the Yellow Spring, and then put away the Nine-Bend Yellow River formation and left.

Zhang Chen turned into a stream of water and shuttled underground. When he accidentally passed through a Taoist temple, a voice suddenly attracted Zhang Chen's attention and stopped him from swimming.

"Brother, if the trend continues, when will we be able to take down the Inspection Office? I can't wait any longer. Xie Lingyun is stubborn and we have no chance to get close to her." Zhang Xiaohua complained, "My father asked me to come to Huangli Temple because the Water God blessed me to restore my appearance and I had a chance to get close to Xie Lingyun and accomplish my great cause in the North. But now it seems that it is not easy to take down Xie Lingyun."

Liu Feng was silent after hearing this, and after a long while he said, "I have asked the Great Sage Master to refine 'A Thousand Miles of Marriage Ties Together'. If Xie Lingyun understands, then it will be fine. In the future, the Inspection Office and the Pingbian Palace will be one family. If Xie Lingyun doesn't understand, haha, when the Water God blesses us, we will use this as an excuse to trick Xie Lingyun here, and then capture him. By then, the prince will have made it a done deal, and there is no need to worry that Xie Lingyun will not surrender."

"What does it mean that a marriage is made in heaven?" Zhang Xiaohua asked in confusion.

“This is the poison of incense, and it is the lust of the seven emotions and six desires attached to the power of faith of believers all over the world. If this thing can be refined into a secret treasure, even the powerful Yang God will be affected.” The old Taoist smiled grimly.

"Xie Lingyun is such a bitch. She doesn't even want to accept a toast and then drinks a forfeit. Since she doesn't know what's best for her, then she can't blame me. When the matter is settled, Xie Xuan will have no choice but to accept me as his son-in-law." Zhang Xiaohua's voice was full of mockery.

As the two were talking, they didn't notice that there was water flowing a few meters underground.

Hearing the conversation between the two people above, Zhang Chen's heart was filled with shock. He never expected that there would be such a vicious thing in the world.

"A thousand miles of fate is tied by a thread? What a thousand miles of fate is tied by a thread." Zhang Chen was secretly shocked. While Zhang Chen was thinking, the two people above had already dispersed. Then Zhang Chen returned to his own small house quietly. His heart was filled with turbulent waves, and he had another thought:
"If this news gets out, I'm afraid the Procuratorate will take crazy revenge on the Pingbian Palace. But I don't have any evidence now, only my one-sided statement. I wonder if I can rely on the Procuratorate to kill Zhang Xiaohua?"

If Zhang Xiaohua could be eliminated with the help of the Procuratorate, that would be the best thing ever. Zhang Chen would probably wake up laughing in his dreams.
