I picked up skill fragments in the demon world.

Chapter 369 The Second Heaven?

Yangzhou City?
Zhang Chen was stunned when he heard this. Wasn't that the city from his previous life? He had never heard of Yangzhou City in the Great Victory Dynasty.

Was there Yangzhou City in the Dasheng Dynasty?

At this time, Zhang Chen's stomach gurgled. Xu Erniu took a look at Zhang Chen's stomach and put down the medicine bowl: "Wait a minute, the wild vegetables will be ready soon."

After Xu Erniu finished speaking, she ran to the side and saw a bonfire in the corner. Xu Erniu was lighting the fire and cooking something.

Zhang Chen looked at Xu Erniu's movements without saying much, but silently felt the situation in his body. At this time, the yin and yang energies were constantly flowing in his body, and Zhang Chen's body was recovering rapidly. It seemed that there was a spiritual inspiration being drawn between heaven and earth and infused into Zhang Chen's body.

It only took a cup of tea for Zhang Chen to feel relaxed and his injuries had healed a lot: "The Yin and Yang Qi actually have such a mysterious power."

Zhang Chen silently urged the Yin and Yang Qi to flow through his body, but soon he realized something was wrong. He looked at his own body and his pupils shrank involuntarily: "This is not my body!"

This body was very thin, and the arms and legs were at least a lot smaller than his own body. Enduring the pain, he raised his arms and looked at his arms with horror in his eyes: "This is definitely not my body!"

The arm in front of him was as thin as a hemp straw, and there was no aura of being cleansed by magic power at all.

"So what is my current condition?" Zhang Chen was a little horrified and quickly summoned the Great Freedom Demon.

"Hey kid, why did you summon me?"

At this moment, a petal that was imperceptible to mortals appeared beside Zhang Chen. The petal twisted and turned into the appearance of the Great Freedom Demon. The other party was originally shouting nonchalantly, but the next moment after seeing Zhang Chen's face clearly, he couldn't help but exclaimed: "Who are you?"

It was a completely different face, no wonder the Great Freedom Demon was surprised.

Zhang Chen smiled bitterly and transmitted his thoughts mentally: "Who else could it be? Of course it's me!"

"Why did you change your body? What happened?" The Great Freedom Demon looked at Zhang Chen in shock.

Zhang Chen did not hide anything and told the story of how he entered the second level of the spiritual world and was bombarded by lightning.

Then the Great Freedom Demon looked strange when he heard this. He stood there in a daze. I don't know what he was thinking about. The expression on his face was very strange: "Bullshit, the second heaven of the spiritual world! This is clearly the ancient times! But I can't tell the truth, otherwise this kid will be unable to let go!"

"What is my current state?" Zhang Chen's mental consciousness fluctuated, and he asked in his heart.

The Great Freedom Demon's eyes rolled and he said calmly, "You must have been severely injured by the lightning, and then your soul was preserved by the golden shears, allowing you to reincarnate. Now you have recovered some vitality and solved the mystery of the womb."

"Golden scissors? Oh, where are my golden scissors!" Zhang Chen seemed to remember something. His own golden scissors were transformed from the innate yin and yang. They should not be suppressed by the innate yin and yang, right?

As expected, following Zhang Chen's call, the golden scissors appeared in Zhang Chen's hands, but now the golden scissors were covered with mottled cracks, and seemed to be covered with a layer of dust and rust, and looked as if they had suffered fatal injuries.

“When the golden scissors helped me out of trouble, they suffered severe damage. Now the golden scissors are even more seriously injured than when they were dug out of the tomb. But now I have mastered the innate yin and yang energies, and I can use them to nourish the golden scissors.” Zhang Chen thought about it and took the golden scissors into his body, and then urged the yin and yang energies to infuse the golden scissors. Sure enough, the golden scissors accepted the yin and yang energies and madly swallowed up the power of the yin and yang energies.

The golden scissors are worthy of their name, they are the nemesis of the yin and yang energies.

"Good boy, I seem to have found a way to repair the golden shears." Zhang Chen was overjoyed. As the Yin and Yang Qi in Zhang Chen's body were absorbed, the golden shears stopped absorbing. Zhang Chen looked inside the golden shears and saw that the golden shears seemed to be much brighter, and the dark dust was cleared away. And as the Yin and Yang Qi were absorbed, his dark skills began to light up gradually. However, just when the skills in Zhang Chen's body were lit up, the Yin and Yang Qi in Zhang Chen's body were automatically generated again, suppressing Zhang Chen's skills again.

"It still doesn't work." Zhang Chen looked at the golden scissors and the yin and yang energies and couldn't help but shook his head.

Because the Yin and Yang energies generated in his body are inexhaustible, but he cannot control the golden scissors to absorb the Yin and Yang energies all the time. What he can do is to activate the golden scissors to absorb the Yin and Yang energies when they are full.

As for his own skills, as long as there is yin and yang in the body, except for the five-color flash and the law of cause and effect: soul-stealing, the rest of the skills cannot be used at all.

"What the hell is this?" Zhang Chen sighed helplessly and looked at the Great Freedom Demon:
"Where am I now?"

The Great Freedom Demon pointed to the sky and said, "Why do I feel like I'm in the second heaven of the spiritual world?"

"Are there living beings in the Second Heaven?" Zhang Chen glanced at the little beggar stewing in the pot and asked.

"How should I know? I haven't been to the second level of the spiritual world, but I have found many interesting things in this world." said the Great Freedom Demon.

Zhang Chen looked at the Great Freedom Demon, waiting for the other party's next words, and heard the Great Freedom Demon say: "Do you remember that I caused trouble in the era of the emperor's fall? I left countless seeds and marks."

Zhang Chen's pupils shrank when he heard this: "What do you mean?"

"Those seeds have taken root and sprouted, and have grown bright flowers." The Great Freedom Demon was laughing, very proudly, with a look of joy in his eyes:

"Boy, I will protect you from now on."

Zhang Chen was overjoyed at this moment: "I didn't expect there would be such a benefit."

Then he closed his eyes and performed visualization, trying to confirm whether this was the second heaven. Suddenly, Zhang Chen felt a mark in the deepest part of his spiritual world. At this time, the mark was dim, but Zhang Chen suddenly had an inexplicable enlightenment in his heart: "As long as the mark becomes bright again, I can go back."

"So this is undoubtedly the second heaven of the spiritual world! After my soul was bombarded by purple lightning in the spiritual world, it was directly damaged and reincarnated, and that mark is the mark of the material world. As long as I regain my mana and repair the mark, I can return to the material world." When Zhang Chen saw the unique mark of the material world, he came to a direct conclusion in his heart. That mark is an anchor point. There is a huge force irrigating from the dark, supporting the operation of that anchor point, and what he needs to do is to regain his mana and restart the mark.

"Boy, I'm going to take a walk first, you can play here by yourself." After saying this, the Great Freedom Demon disappeared into nothingness.

The Great Freedom Demon left, leaving Zhang Chen sitting in the dilapidated temple. Looking at his tattered clothes and his dirty hands, he couldn't help feeling a little annoyed.

"Here you go, eat it!"

Just as Zhang Chen was looking at his own hands which were pitch black, Xu Erniu came to him holding a half-broken casserole.

Half of the casserole is bran and the other half is wild vegetables.

“Can this be eaten?” Zhang Chen looked at the food in the casserole and a question mark flashed in his mind.

But before Zhang Chen could open his mouth, Xu Erniu had already taken two sticks as chopsticks, picked up the cooked wild vegetables and handed them to Zhang Chen's mouth.

Looking at the steaming wild vegetables and then at Xu Erniu, who was dressed like a dark beggar, Zhang Chen could only open his mouth and swallow it with difficulty. The wild vegetables were fine, but when Xu Erniu brought the bran to Zhang Chen's mouth, Zhang Chen couldn't swallow it after taking a bite. Although the bran was cooked, it still spicy to the throat.

"I don't want to eat, you eat it!" Zhang Chen spoke with difficulty.

"How can you only eat wild vegetables? Wild vegetables have no nutrition. When will your injuries heal if you only eat wild vegetables? This bran is nutritious, and I saved it with great difficulty." Xu Erniu saw that Zhang Chen didn't eat, and kept nagging beside him.

Zhang Chen had no choice but to open his mouth and force himself to finish the bran.

Then Xu Erniu took out a handful of wild vegetables from her arms and put them directly into her mouth and started eating.

Looking at Xu Erniu chewing wild grass, all the words in Zhang Chen's throat were blocked. At least he still had bran to eat, but Xu Erniu could only chew grass.

"Don't worry. When I recover from my injury, I will definitely repay you and let you enjoy endless wealth and glory." Although Zhang Chen had a sore throat, he still made a promise to Xu Erniu.

Hearing this, Xu Erniu looked Zhang Chen up and down, looking at his tattered clothes with a look of disbelief in her eyes: "Wait until you get better. From now on, you are mine. I will protect you and make sure you don't starve to death."

After Xu Erniu finished speaking, she continued to chew on the wild vegetables. The only sound in the dilapidated temple was the sound of chewing on the wild vegetables.

Zhang Chen ignored Xu Erniu and thought about the condition of his body. His memory of the original owner was completely blank and he had no impression of it at all.

"Could it be that I have lost my memory? The most important thing is, how did I get all these injuries?" Zhang Chen felt the Yin and Yang energies constantly repairing the injuries in his body, and tried his best to think about the memories of his original owner's body. After thinking for a long time, he finally realized the problem. The Yin and Yang energies were very overbearing, constantly cleansing his body and soul. In all likelihood, when he broke the mystery in the womb, the innate Yin and Yang energies also revived, washing away all marks of his past, including his previous memories.

"It doesn't matter. The worst that can happen is I can just start over. Looking at my current body and the clothes I'm wearing, I'm most likely a beggar. Everything in the past is in the past. I'll try to resolve the problem of the yin and yang in my body as soon as possible, get my magic power back, and then activate the mark as soon as possible to communicate between the material world and the spiritual world, and open the channel between the two." Zhang Chen's mind was flashing with thoughts.

"It is not an easy task to solve the trouble of Yin and Yang. Maybe I can try to find my niece's trace in the second heaven. Maybe my cheap niece may have some way." Zhang Chen said secretly in his heart.

Zhang Chen lived in the dilapidated temple like this. Every day Xu Erniu brought some wild vegetables and bought some medicine for Zhang Chen to drink. Every day Zhang Chen infused the yin and yang energies into the golden scissors to repair their injuries.

As Zhang Chen repaired the golden scissors, the dullness and rust on the scissors gradually disappeared, and they had regained some vitality.

Seven days passed in the blink of an eye. At noon that day, Xu Erniu carefully took out a jar from the corner of the dilapidated temple, and then took out a dozen copper coins from the broken jar, counting them non-stop with the sound of clinking.

Zhang Chen sat in the corner, watching Xu Erniu count back and forth several times. He counted it for Xu Erniu and it was a total of eighteen copper coins.

"Zhang Chen, can you please stop taking the medicine? We don't have enough money! This is the money I saved for three years, and I spent it all on your medicine. I'm losing a lot this time." Xu Erniu sat in the corner, her distressed face twisted into a ball, and she said to Zhang Chen: "You took seven doses of medicine in the past seven days, each dose cost thirty copper coins, you spent a total of 210 copper coins on me, and all my years of hard work have gone to waste."

Zhang Chen felt funny and moved when he looked at the miserable Xu Erniu. He thought that ever since he mastered the magical power, he had been spending money like water and treating money as dirt. When had he ever been short of money?
However, Zhang Chen was deeply touched that the other party was willing to use his savings to treat his illness.

"My injuries are almost healed. I have been able to move around these days and don't need to take medicine. You'd better save your copper coins." Zhang Chen said with a smile.

Hearing this, Xu Erniu turned her head and looked at Zhang Chen, with a hint of worry in her eyes: "Are you really going to get better?"

Zhang Chen nodded when he heard this: "Why would I lie to you? Besides, you only have 18 copper coins left, which is not enough to buy medicine."

Xu Erniu sat there dejectedly, holding the copper coins tightly in her hands, muttering, "Zhang Chen, you must repay me well in the future. I have paid too much for you. This money is my money for crossing the river, and now it's all yours. Two hundred and ten coins, at least two hundred and ten cakes, what kind of day is this."

Zhang Chen smiled when he heard this, looked at Xu Erniu, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, when my injuries recover, I will definitely earn a life of luxury for you."

His magical powers were banned, but Zhang Chen was not in a hurry. The five-colored divine light and the origin of yin and yang were the most powerful magical powers in the world. He just needed Zhang Chen to develop them with his heart.

"I hope so! At worst, you can go begging and give me the money back." Xu Erniu put the money back in the corner and carefully covered it with soil. Then she came to sit next to Zhang Chen and looked him up and down: "I say, are you really okay with your injury?"

"Of course it's okay." Zhang Chen reached out and rubbed Xu Erniu's head: "You don't have to waste money anymore."

"I've spent so much money, you must not relapse and die, otherwise I will lose a lot of money!" Xu Erniu muttered.
