I picked up skill fragments in the demon world.

Chapter 372: Blood Road

Zhang Chen and Xu Erniu were each eating half a pancake, carrying a broken basket filled with rotten vegetable leaves, walking on the crowded street with satisfied smiles on their faces.

To be honest, Zhang Chen didn't have any good way to make money at the moment, such as making glass. He knew nothing about it! If glass was so easy to make, why would people in later generations need to buy glass to build houses?
Moreover, after the glass is fired, the two people are very likely to be in danger of being killed.

As for other business, Zhang Chen didn't dare to do it, mainly because he had too few means of self-defense. This was the second level of the spiritual world. Even if masters of the god and demon level appeared, Zhang Chen would not be surprised, so he tried to keep a low profile as much as possible.

But it's not like he's doing nothing. He has already thought of ways to make money. But all this has to wait until his health recovers completely.

Time passed little by little, and in the blink of an eye, another half a month had passed. Zhang Chen's body had completely recovered. He now noticed something strange about Xu Erniu. This girl never begged, but just led Zhang Chen to pick up vegetable leaves thrown away by others.

Sometimes the vendors couldn’t bear it and gave her a steamed bun or a sesame cake, which made her happy all day long.

It is precisely because of Erniu's stubbornness that she is very famous in this area, and many merchants know this eccentric little girl.

"Why don't you go beg?"

Street

Zhang Chen picked up the broken vegetable leaves and asked Xu Erniu who was standing beside him.

Not only did Xu Erniu not beg for food herself, she also did not allow Zhang Chen to beg for food.

"We are going to be immortals in the future. If people know that we beg for food, won't our reputation be ruined? We will become the laughing stock of the immortal world. I, Xu Erniu, am destined to become a female immortal in the future. How can I do such a thing?" Xu Erniu said to Zhang Chen with great confidence.

Zhang Chen was speechless after hearing this. Xu Erniu in front of him had a deep obsession with immortals, and Zhang Chen had experienced it.

"At the rate you keep saving money, when will you be able to save enough for the trip to Qingcheng Mountain?" Zhang Chen said with some sarcasm in his voice.

"I'm still young. If I save for a few more years, I will be able to save enough." Xu Erniu said confidently.

"Don't sell flowers tomorrow. I have a way to make money." Zhang Chen said to Xu Erniu.

Xu Erniu was stunned when she heard this, and turned to look at Zhang Chen in surprise: "What's your plan?"

"Medicinal herbs." Zhang Chen glanced at the medicinal herbs shop in the distance, and the corners of his mouth curled up in a smile.

"Do you know about medicinal herbs?" Xu Erniu was stunned when she heard that.

“I understand a little bit.” Zhang Chen said.

Then Xu Erniu's eyes curved and she showed a big smile: "Really?"

Zhang Chen threw a stale vegetable into Xu Erniu's backpack and said, "Go home!"

On the second day, Zhang Chen took Xu Erniu into the mountains to collect herbs. After all, Zhang Chen had stayed in Huangli Temple for some time. Since ancient times, medicine and Taoism have been inseparable, and he also knew something about the preparation of medicinal materials.

There aren't many medicinal herbs in this mountain, but there are definitely a lot. It's just that the preparation methods are more complicated.

The two spent a whole morning digging up half a basket of astragalus, and then Zhang Chen returned to the dilapidated temple to prepare the medicinal materials.

Xu Erniu was watching from the side. After watching for a while, she became really bored and turned around and ran out of the ruined temple, disappearing from his sight.

An hour later, when Zhang Chen had finished preparing the herbs, he saw that Xu Erniu had not returned yet. When he walked out of the ruined temple to look for her, he heard a burst of scolding from afar. Looking from afar, he saw a group of children from a nearby village playing together. Xu Erniu wanted to go over, but the children threw stones at her and cursed her:

"We don't play with beggars!"

"Stay away from us, you stinky beggar!"

"You stink..."

"Get out of here, you stinky beggar!"

……

A group of children surrounded Xu Erniu, constantly teasing and pushing her, their voices full of sarcasm.

Xu Erniu stood there helplessly, allowing the dozen or so children to pull her clothes, drag her hair, punch and kick her, and push her until she staggered.

Zhang Chen looked at the bullied Xu Erniu with a thoughtful look in his eyes. This kind of beggar without a father or a mother is the easiest to be bullied.

Zhang Chen did not step forward to stop them, but watched quietly. Half an hour later, when Xu Erniu was pushed to the ground and could no longer get up, the group of children spat and left in disgust.

Zhang Chen said nothing, but walked forward to help Xu Erniu up. Xu Erniu's face was covered with tears, and she looked at Zhang Chen with grievance:

"Erniu has taken a shower, and there is no odor on her body."

"Of course Erniu doesn't have any smell!" Zhang Chen touched Xu Erniu's head and said, "Go back and prepare the herbs. Don't play with them anymore."

Zhang Chen brought Xu Erniu back to the ruined temple and taught her how to prepare medicinal herbs. Then he asked, "Do you know where the beggars who blocked the road that day are?"

"I know, it's in a dilapidated house not far away." Xu Erniu said.

"Okay, let's prepare the herbs." Zhang Chen lowered his head, his voice still gentle, but his eyes showed a hint of coldness. The next day, Zhang Chen took Xu Erniu to the town to sell herbs. A whole basket of herbs was sold for only thirty coins.

In this world, medicinal herbs are not valuable and can only provide a temporary solution to food and clothing.

Xu Erniu's eyes sparkled as she took the thirty coins and said, "Zhang Chen, you are amazing. It won't be long before we can save enough money for the trip to Qingcheng Mountain."

"This is just the beginning. There will be more good days ahead."

Zhang Chen stroked Xu Erniu's head, then used thirty cents to buy a large pile of yellow paper.

"Why did you buy so much yellow paper?" Xu Erniu looked at Zhang Chen who spent more than twenty cents to buy that pile of yellow paper, and her eyes turned red with heartache.

"Don't worry, we are going to do a big deal." Zhang Chen touched Xu Erniu's head, and then the two returned to the ruined temple, ate some wild vegetables and rested. Zhang Chen sat in front of the dim campfire without sleeping. When it was late at night, the golden scissors in his spiritual world started, swallowing up all the yin and yang energies. At the moment when the yin and yang energies were swallowed up, a golden invisibility talisman appeared in Zhang Chen's hand.

"I have the protection of Yin and Yang Qi. I cannot use this invisibility talisman myself, but that does not mean others cannot use it. Moreover, the invisibility talisman itself is a golden talisman, and its greatest effect is actually rubbing."

Zhang Chen stroked the golden invisibility talisman with a smile in his eyes. He then took out Xu Erniu's knife and slowly cut the yellow paper into the same size as the invisibility talisman. He then flipped through the dozens of cut yellow paper in his hand. The next moment, the golden scissors started again, sweeping away the yin and yang energies in Zhang Chen's body.

Zhang Chen is a cultivator at the Jade Liquid Returning Elixir realm. His body's magic power can be generated automatically. At the moment when all the yin and yang energies were absorbed, a ray of magic power was born in Zhang Chen's body. Zhang Chen directly drove that ray of magic power into the golden talisman and used the golden talisman to directly make an imprint on the yellow paper.

A moment later, a wisp of yin and yang energy was born in Zhang Chen's body, and at this time, a piece of yellow paper in Zhang Chen's hand also directly turned into an invisibility talisman.

Then Zhang Chen used this method again to draw on the yin and yang energies, and at the moment when magic power was born, he continuously produced various talismans.

After a night passed, Zhang Chen counted the talismans in his hand, and a hint of joy appeared in his eyes: "Fifty immobilization talismans and fifty invisibility talismans, enough for me to make a fortune."

Zhang Chen couldn't use the talisman himself, so he could only give it to someone else. He didn't plan to give it to Xu Erniu. With Xu Erniu's personality, even if she had the ability to become invisible, she would never be willing to steal money.

Zhang Chen took the prepared talisman, looked at the sleeping Xu Erniu, and walked out of the dilapidated temple in the faint morning light.

Not far from the dilapidated temple where Xu Erniu was, there was a village. The village was not far from Yangzhou City, which was considered a prime location. The beggar whose fingers were cut off by Zhang Chen last time lived in a dilapidated house in the village.

At this time, Zhang Chen walked in the morning light and came to the outside of the dilapidated house. The dilapidated door opened and a snoring sound came from inside. After Zhang Chen walked into the house, he saw a group of beggars lying casually on the kang and sleeping, but there were two fewer people than last time.

The injury on the beggar's hand actually gradually improved and there was no inflammation. It has to be said that people in the spiritual world have good physical fitness. They are constantly nourished by the mysterious power, and their physical fitness is extremely good.

Zhang Chen came to the beggar and pulled at his trouser leg. The beggar bounced his legs, looking very unhappy about being pulled.

"Sixth son, sleep well and don't pull my clothes." The beggar leader said in a daze.

"If you don't get up now, you don't have to get up." Zhang Chen's indifferent voice sounded in the room.

The beggar who was sleeping in a daze was suddenly frightened and immediately woke up from his deep sleep. He was very familiar with that voice. It often appeared in his dreams recently. After all, the wound on his hand had not healed yet.

Then the beggar leader stopped snoring, and then he suddenly turned over and sat up, and saw Zhang Chen standing in the room looking at him. He was startled and turned over and sat up: Why is this evil star here?

Then he kicked the brother next to him fiercely: "The little ancestor is here! The little ancestor is here!"

Then he knelt down on the kang and smiled at Zhang Chen apologetically: "Little Ancestor, why did you come here? But have we brothers ever offended you in any way?"

The beggars over there also stood up at this time. After seeing Zhang Chen's back, they were so scared that their bodies trembled. They knelt down there and looked at Zhang Chen with fear on their faces.

"I want to discuss a business deal with you." Zhang Chen said.

"Ancestor, if you have anything to say, just tell me directly and I will definitely do it for you." The beggar leader said hurriedly.

Zhang Chen smiled coldly, gave a warning and turned away.

The beggar held the talisman in his hand, his eyes full of excitement, and he kept kowtowing to Zhang Chen: "Master, don't worry, I will be your dog in the future, and I will definitely handle this matter properly to satisfy you."

Zhang Chen paused when he heard this and turned to look at the beggar: "What's your name?"

"I'm just a small bastard." The beggar leader kowtowed twice before saying his name.

Zhang Chen looked at Xiu Liu in front of him with a thoughtful look. If he wanted to make money next, he would have to resort to dirty tricks. Asking Xu Erniu to do it might not work. Xiu Liu in front of him seemed to be a good candidate.

Zhang Chen waved his hand: "Come forward."

Xiu Liu crawled to Zhang Chen's side, looking like a real dog, lying in front of Zhang Chen with a docile look on his face.

Zhang Chen stroked Xiu Liu's head, thinking of the blood path he had acquired, so he smiled and said, "Xiu Liu, since you want to be my dog, I will teach you a method. As long as you can practice the method, I will accept you as my dog."

Then the golden scissors in Zhang Chen's body extracted all the yin and yang energies. When Zhang Chen recovered a bit of his magic power, he slapped the contents of the blood nerve into Xiu Liu's head.

Among all of Zhang Chen's methods, only the Blood God Sword is unconventional. It only takes 49 days to be effective and can make one become the Son of Blood God.
