I picked up skill fragments in the demon world.

Chapter 324: The Second Stage of Qi Training

As a god, Gu Mingyue can better feel the filthy and ominous aura in the dark, but given the current situation, does he dare to say that he knows nothing?
If he had a way to break the blood-red aura, it would be fine. It was just a small matter and he could just talk about it. But the first time he saw the lotus pattern on the carp, the blood-red lotus on the carp's scales took shape, as if it had turned into a series of mysterious runes. The countless runes were connected together on the scales to form a chain of order, and the chain formed a complex formation. He was facing the rune order chain and didn't even have a chance to decipher it, let alone break it.

Gu Mingyue was helpless, and had a premonition in her heart: "This is a big trouble! Something big is going to happen!"

However, he did not dare to explain the actual situation to King Pingbian, so he could only pretend to be relaxed and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. This is the abnormal phenomenon reflected by the evolution of the old prince's bloodline. It is not a bad thing. Now that the abnormal phenomenon has appeared on the carp, it seems that the old prince has successfully transformed into a dragon and is not far from success."

After he finished speaking, he prayed in his heart: "Oh God, please don't let anything unexpected happen when King Pingbian transforms into a dragon. Don't let it affect you. I beg you."

Now he could only pray in his heart that these blood-colored lotuses would have no effect on Zhang Shicheng's transformation into a dragon. Even if Zhang Shicheng turned into an evil dragon, he would accept it, as it was better than failing to transform into a dragon.

Zhang Shicheng's transformation from a dragon to a dragon is a crucial part of his plan. If Zhang Shicheng succeeds in transforming from a dragon to a dragon, he will have the strength to fight against the Great Sage Master and also the power to intimidate the imperial court. At that time, with the help of Zhang Shicheng's blessing, it will be a natural thing for him to split the Huangtian Dao.

"Then I feel relieved. I thought something big happened to our ancestor's transformation into a dragon, which scared me to death. It turns out it was just a false alarm." Pingbian Wang said.

Gu Mingyue gave a dry smile when he heard this. How could he not know whether it was a false alarm or not?
In Huangli Temple, Zhang Chen dismissed Xie Lingyun and began to ponder the method of the strong man moving mountains. Time passed quickly, and another ten days passed. Suddenly, the golden finger page in front of Zhang Chen flashed, and a new mark popped up:
[12th skill (not yet at level): Strongman Moving Mountains (0/50000000)]

【Note 1: A piece of strange stone is required. 】

"Finally it's published?" Zhang Chen couldn't help but be overjoyed when he looked at the Golden Finger layout. He had been struggling to comprehend the method of the strong man moving mountains, and now he finally got a glimpse of the way.

“It’s just that the points required for upgrading are a bit exaggerated. I’ve just started, but it actually requires 50 million points?” Zhang Chen was stunned and even a little bit unbelievable.

What kind of skill is this? I haven't even started yet, but it requires 50 million points to get started?

But when you think about the fact that the Hercules Moving Mountains Method only has four realms: Beginning - Minor Success - Major Success - Perfection, and the beginning realm requires 50 million points...that's also exaggerated!
Do you really think 50 million points are easy money?

Even if he accumulated two million points a day, it would take him twenty-five days to accumulate them!

And with 50 million points, how many skills can I upgrade?

Moreover, this is just the entry level, and a huge amount of points will be required later. This is definitely a bottomless pit.

Zhang Chen was considering whether he should keep working on it and continue putting all his points into the Hercules Moving Mountains Technique. You know, 50 million points are enough for him to upgrade many of his skills to perfection.

However, Zhang Chen looked at his own gold finger board, and after thinking for a long time, he decided to continue adding points. There were three reasons: first, this was the prerequisite for the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Art. Second, this magical power could forge the body. Third, this magical power was the only attacking magical power Zhang Chen had obtained so far.

Even though Zhang Chen has acquired so many skills, he really has no offensive power. The Hercules Moving Mountains Technique he has obtained is the only offensive and lethal technique Zhang Chen has obtained.

Zhang Chen couldn't help but complain. This was simply bullshit. He had so many skills but no offensive power. What else could he say?

This is the only attack skill I have acquired, and I must upgrade it!

No matter how high the level of the auxiliary magical power is upgraded to, even if it is upgraded to the level of "fruit", what is the use?
If the enemy comes and you can't kill him, then isn't that useless?
The most important thing is that this time he has the opportunity to enter the spiritual world with his physical body and obtain the legendary strange stone from Mount Buzhou. This chance may only come once, so how can Zhang Chen give up?
If I miss this opportunity, even if I regret it later, it will be too late.

"So I have to hurry up and earn points." Thinking of this, Zhang Chen's body turned into flowing water and quietly sneaked into the underground. He once again came to the passage he had dug before. He saw that the collapsed wall of the secret room had been restored, and the wall was covered with divine power again.

In order to prevent anyone from digging through the stone wall again, Huang Tiandao's people even increased the output of divine power. The divine power on the wall became three to five times thicker. Zhang Chen was delighted and kept rubbing his hands secretly: "Good news! This is a good thing for me! The divine power on the wall is thicker. If I go to absorb the divine power, it will be less likely for others to notice the changes. The cultivators of Huang Tiandao are all good people."

Zhang Chen chuckled outside the wall and walked around the wall again. However, the passage had collapsed due to the shock of Gu Mingyue and could no longer accommodate Zhang Chen's size. So Zhang Chen checked the terrain and ran outside to look for the pangolin, and asked the pangolin to steal the hole again.

Gu Mingyue is not here today, so it is a good time for Zhang Chen to take action. With the pangolin summoned by Zhang Chen, the passage was reopened in less than half a day.

After all, it is a passage that has already been dug, so it is not difficult for the pangolin to dig it again.

After Zhang Chen dug through the underground passage, he dismissed the pangolins and went to the stone wall to feast on the food, directly absorbing the power of the incense.

From today on, Zhang Chen started to work "hard" and "conscientiously" again. After all, he didn't have much time left.

As for whether Gu Mingyue would notice anything, Zhang Chen felt that so many days had passed and Gu Mingyue was now busy dealing with the matter of the channel between the two worlds and would not devote his energy to it for the time being.

After all, the mysterious factors that emanate from the spiritual world are of great benefit to those who practice cultivation, and even strong people like Gu Mingyue are no exception.

In fact, Zhang Chen was right. With Gu Mingyue's return, he did not stay in the Taoist temple for long, but hurried to the passage between the two worlds, busy absorbing the mysterious factor.

Time passed quickly, and it seemed as if time had slowed down at this moment. Twenty-five days passed in a flash, and Zhang Chen's gold finger board had already reached 5,000 points.

At this time, Xie Lingyun came again!
Zhang Chen sensed through the water vapor that Xie Lingyun had led his masters to his own cottage, and he quickly came out from underground to greet them.

"Zhang Chen!" Xie Lingyun hurried to the yard. Seeing Zhang Chen walking out of the house, she waved at him and said, "I have something to tell you."

"What can I do for you, sister?" Zhang Chen invited Xie Lingyun to sit down and said, "Why don't you sit down and talk?"

Xie Lingyun shook his head: "I have things to do and will leave soon. I just want to tell you the latest developments of the channel between the two worlds." "Could it be that the channel between the two worlds has stabilized?" Zhang Chen looked at Xie Lingyun's hurried appearance, already had some guesses in his mind, and asked.

Hearing Zhang Chen's words, Xie Lingyun nodded and said, "That's right! Five days ago, the passage between the two worlds had been stabilized. There were masters from all walks of life and masters from major families who broke into it, but they suffered heavy losses. Now all the powerful people know that after entering the other world, no matter how strong you are, you will become an ordinary person. Now all the major families have recruited civilians and ordinary people to explore the spiritual world. Some people even spend a lot of money to invite experienced hunters to go to the spiritual world together. I came to ask you today, do you want to go in with me? So that we can take care of each other?"

"You want to go in too?" Zhang Chen was stunned after hearing Xie Lingyun's words.

"Someone found a fruit tree on the other side of the passage. On that fruit tree grew a kind of purple fruit. Eating it would give a person the power of fire and thunder. But once the fruit leaves the spiritual world and comes to the material world, it will rot in an instant. So if you want to eat that fruit and gain the power of fire and thunder, you must sneak into the other side of the world."

Zhang Chen was stunned after hearing what Xie Lingyun said. He felt that Xie Lingyun's behavior was very risky. After all, that was the spiritual world and it was not a joke. No matter how good the fruit was, it was not as important as his own life, right?
As if knowing what Zhang Chen was thinking, Xie Lingyun raised his hand to stop Zhang Chen from speaking: "If I can obtain that kind of fruit, I can at least increase my chances of becoming a Yang God in the future by 80%."

Xie Lingyun had said so, what else could Zhang Chen say?
However, facing Xie Lingyun's invitation, Zhang Chen chose to refuse because he was not ready yet and his Qigong level had not been raised. It would not be too late to raise his Qigong level after he collected enough incense and faith.

It would only take about four or five days, and Zhang Chen could afford to wait.

What's more, Zhang Chen felt that if he entered the spiritual world and the big black dog came to him, there would be big trouble and Xie Lingyun might be implicated by him.

Hearing Zhang Chen's refusal, Xie Lingyun felt a little disappointed. She felt that Zhang Chen was a cultivator and might not become an ordinary person after entering the mysterious spiritual world. His magical powers could be preserved and continued to be used, which could increase his chances of survival. But who knew that she would be rejected by Zhang Chen.

After Xie Lingyun left, Zhang Chen turned around and continued to practice Qigong. For him, raising the level of Qigong and increasing the capacity of his magic power would also increase his endurance, greatly ensuring his ability to survive after entering the spiritual world.

"It's a pity that the Divine Whip has not been refined yet. Otherwise, if I had the help of the Divine Whip, my abilities in the spiritual world would definitely be taken to a higher level." Zhang Chen said secretly in his heart.

Zhang Chen looked at his own Qigong board:
[Skill 7 (Beginner): Qi Training Twelve Levels (Perfect)]

[Note: Upgradable (0/100000)]

"It only takes 100,000 points. It seems that my cheat code is quite good. Just 100,000 points. I only need to work hard for a while to get them."

Zhang Chen returned to the Taoist temple and continued to earn points.

The second realm of Qigong has two levels, one is the circulation of Qi around the body, the other is the mysterious gate.

For Zhang Chen, he didn't quite understand the two realms, but it didn't matter, he had some knowledge, and as long as he worked hard, he would naturally understand all the tricks.

In just one hour, Zhang Chen had accumulated 100,000 points. The next moment, Zhang Chen directly clicked on the gold finger page, and then he saw that the Qi training column of Zhang Chen's gold finger page changed:
[Skill 7 (Level 0): First Heaven (1000000/)]

The second level of cultivation is divided into Qi Xing Zhou Tian and Xuan Guan Yi Acupoint. The first level refers to Qi Xing Zhou Tian.

As Zhang Chen's skills were upgraded, the next moment the magic power in Zhang Chen's dantian began to flow through the meridians throughout his body. The magic power passed through hundreds of meridians in his body, shuttled through the Ren and Du meridians, penetrated the upper dantian, middle dantian, and lower dantian, and filled the meridians. With each cycle, the speed of refining essence into qi increased.

"After reaching the stage of Qi circulation throughout the body, my cultivation speed has increased by at least ten times. I wonder if my cultivation speed will be further increased after I find the mysterious gateway in my body and open it." Zhang Chen said secretly in his heart.

Then his eyes fell on the experience value, and he saw that the experience value behind the Qi Xing Zhou Tian actually required one million, a tenfold increase.

"No way? A tenfold increase? Who can afford that? Is it so difficult to open the mysterious gate?" Zhang Chen exclaimed in his heart.

You have to know that the points required to upgrade the sixth-level invisibility charm to the seventh level are only 1.6 million. But the invisibility charm is a sixth-level skill, and the Qigong technique is only a first-level skill. Are they comparable?

"Qigong is worthy of being a fundamental method. Although it has no lethality, it can seize the fortune of heaven and earth, the mysteries of ghosts and gods, and possesses incredible abilities." Zhang Chen was not furious. Instead, he felt a little surprised. The more difficult Qigong is to practice, the greater its value.

Zhang Chen didn't say too much and turned around to continue gaining experience points.

It's just one million experience points. Zhang Chen only needs one night to earn enough experience points.

As time went by, Zhang Chen's points filled up again, reaching one million points.

Then Zhang Chen called up the Gold Finger page again:
[Skill 7 (Level 0): Second Heaven (1000000/)]

The second level is the mysterious entrance.

"Add points to upgrade!" Zhang Chen added points without thinking.

As its points are upgraded, its gold finger page will flash and change again:

[Skill 7 (Level ): Second Heaven (Perfection)]

Along with the changes of the golden finger, the next moment Zhang Chen only felt his body shook and there was a loud thunder. In his body, there seemed to be a chaotic illusion flowing through, and then a ray of lightning cut through the chaos, separating the clear and turbid, and a ray of light appeared out of thin air in the chaos.
