I picked up skill fragments in the demon world.

Chapter 373 Travel Expenses
Zhang Chen passed down the Blood God Son because he had a sudden inspiration, but as for whether it would bear fruit in the future, he did not have too high expectations.

There are various major forces in the second level of this spiritual world. It is not easy for me to obtain all kinds of elixirs and fortunes. If I can disrupt this world and add some variables to it, I can take advantage of the chaos to make a move.

The most important thing is that the threshold for practicing the Blood God Way is low, and the progress is fast. At the end of the practice, one can summon the blood river to descend, and an endless sea of ​​blood will flow in the world. At that time, even gods and demons will be able to fight.

What Zhang Chen passed down was not only the Blood God's cultivation formula, but also the Blood Sea Formation, Blood Flame, and so on. All the magical powers of the Great Way of Blood were passed down. As for how far the other party can go, it depends on his luck.

"Thank you, little ancestor! Thank you, little ancestor!" When Xiu Liu realized the sudden extra information in his mind, he was overjoyed and kowtowed to Zhang Chen quickly.

"Don't thank me yet. If you want to cultivate this magical power, you must first peel off your own skin and refine your flesh and blood bit by bit. This kind of torture is not something that ordinary people can bear." Zhang Chen patted Xiu Liu's shoulder and gave him the talisman: "Wait until you can endure it, then you are worthy of being my dog."

"I will definitely succeed." Xiu Liu took a deep breath, his eyes full of determination.

The opportunity to change your destiny is right in front of you. If you can't seize it, you deserve to be a beggar for the rest of your life.

Zhang Chen had already left at this time. He turned his back to Xiu Liu and waved his hand: "Practice well and complete the tasks I assigned to you. Don't let me down."

Looking at Zhang Chen's back, Xiu Liu was excited. "Don't worry, I will definitely complete your instructions. Not only those children, but also their parents, I will definitely deal with them all. This can be regarded as venting your anger for you and Erniu."

Zhang Chen paused when he heard this and turned to look at Xiu Liu: "How do you know I want to vent my anger for Erniu?"

"I guessed it. You only took action against the children but ignored the villagers. I have some understanding of Erniu's situation..." Xiu Liu said in a flattering manner.

Zhang Chen smiled when he heard this: "I didn't expect you to be so smart. I really underestimated you. Do the job well, be clean and don't cause any trouble."

"I obey your command." Xiu Liu bowed solemnly.

Zhang Chen turned around and disappeared in the room, leaving Xiu Liu kneeling on the ground, watching Zhang Chen's departing back with a pair of eyes filled with burning light.

As Zhang Chen walked out of the door, he thought about Xiu Liu: "He is a restless person. I hope he can make some trouble."

As for whether Xu Liu will backfire on himself?

He is the lord of the Blood Path, and the sea of ​​blood is within his crystal core. A huge amount of blood path energy is gathered in his body, and he also has the Blood Sea Red Lotus and Karma Fire that are specifically designed to restrain the blood path. Even if Xiu Liu becomes an immortal, he is still just a younger brother in front of him.

When Zhang Chen came back, Xu Erniu was still sleeping soundly. She scratched her face and slept very deeply.

The child was sleepy at the time, and Zhang Chen did not wake her up. With Xiu Liu's trafficking of the child, he would earn a large sum of money in the future, and there was hope for his and Xu Erniu's lives.

The next step is to prepare to go to Qingcheng Mountain, get in touch with the mysteries of this world, and see if you can resolve the yin and yang energies in your body and restore your magical powers.

It was not until the sun was high in the sky that Xu Erniu woke up from her sleep. Then she looked at Zhang Chen who was sitting at the door basking in the sun and breathed a sigh of relief: "It's already high in the sky, Zhang Chen, why don't you ask me to get up and go dig herbs."

Xu Erniu started to complain, her voice full of dissatisfaction: "Do you know how much money we're going to waste this morning?"

Zhang Chen glanced at Xu Erniu and said, "Don't go up the mountain to collect herbs. We won't be short of money in the future. I have found a way to make money."

"Have you found a way to make money?" Xu Erniu was stunned when she heard this.

Zhang Chen smiled and said, "Of course! At least I won't be short of money in the future."

At this point, Zhang Chen looked at Xu Erniu and said, "Let's recuperate here for a while. When we have saved enough money, we can go to Qingcheng Mountain."

It’s a long journey to Qingcheng Mountain, and you must have a good body.

"Give me your copper coins, and we'll eat buns today." Zhang Chen said to Xu Erniu.

Xu Erniu was stunned when she heard this: "Eat steamed buns? Steamed buns cost two cents each. Let's eat sesame seed cakes. They only cost one cent."

Zhang Chen glared at Xu Erniu and said, "That sesame seed cake has no taste at all. I've had enough! Let's buy ten buns and two pounds of pork head meat today."

"Zhang Chen, is your way of making money reliable?" Xu Erniu did not refute Zhang Chen's words, but asked worriedly: "Don't spend the money when the time comes. Your way of making money is not reliable."

Zhang Chen sneered upon hearing this: "You actually doubt me? Of course my method is reliable, you don't have to worry, don't you know my abilities?"

Do you want to ask whether Zhang Chen’s method is reliable?
You must be kidding!
The plot has been cut here, so please bear with it. …

Although Xu Erniu was reluctant, seeing Zhang Chen's confident look, she carefully dug out the copper coins from the corner, then went into the city with Zhang Chen to buy buns and two pounds of pork head, and ran back to the dilapidated temple to wolf them down.

In the dilapidated temple, Zhang Chen was holding a bun and eating a pig's head, with a thoughtful look in his eyes: "Two beggar children suddenly eat and drink lavishly, which will definitely attract the covetousness of some ill-intentioned people in the city. This will also be a way to make a fortune in the future. I can kidnap and sell all those bastards. After all, two beggars of five or six years old, everyone wants to come and bully them."

It has to be said that Zhang Chen’s tricks are becoming more and more sophisticated, and he is even preparing for a sting operation.

夜晚
Torches in the mountains were seen flashing in a long line, anxious shouts were heard, and even to the dilapidated temple where Zhang Chen and Xu Erniu were, more than a dozen groups of people came and went.

"Little beggar, have you seen any children coming?" A man came to the outside of the dilapidated temple with a torch and asked Zhang Chen and Xu Erniu.

"Never seen it." Zhang Chen replied.

The man turned around and walked away without stopping. Xu Erniu, who was standing by, spat inwardly: "How rude."

Zhang Chen patted Xu Erniu's head and said, "Don't be angry. Parents are kind-hearted people. We should understand their feelings as parents."

Zhang Chen seemed like a saint possessed at this moment, and his voice was full of gentleness.

"You are such a pushover." Xu Erniu spat at Zhang Chen.

Zhang Chen shook his head when he heard this and didn't bother with Xu Erniu.

Zhang Chen didn't care at all.

After a night of quarreling in the dark, Zhang Chen and Xu Erniu did not sleep well. Xu Erniu cursed and swore at the anxious cries in the dark, while Zhang Chen kept comforting Xu Erniu: "They lost their child, you have to understand their anxiety. We just can't sleep well, but they lost their child." Xu Erniu stopped talking after hearing this, and just tossed and turned, unable to sleep.

After daybreak, the shouting still did not stop, but became more and more anxious. The hoarse voice echoed among the mountains.

Zhang Chen was eating the leftover buns from yesterday, sitting in front of the door listening to the anxious cries. Xu Erniu couldn't sit still, so she ran out with the buns to find out what was going on. Not long after, Xu Erniu came running over with an excited look on her face: "Zhang Chen, something big happened! More than 40 children were lost yesterday, all disappeared overnight. Especially those guys who bullied me on weekdays, none of them were left alive and all were kidnapped."

Zhang Chen took out a bun and stuffed it into Xu Erniu's mouth: "Eat the bun. You look so gloating, aren't you afraid that those villagers who are looking for their children will see you and blame you for their anger?"

Xu Erniu was stunned when she heard this, and then quickly shrank her neck: "Yes, yes, you are right, we must be low-key and not show any expression of gloating."

After they finished eating the buns, Xu Erniu asked Zhang Chen again: "Where is the way to make money that you mentioned? Is it reliable?"

He saw that Zhang Chen didn't seem to be making any money, and he couldn't help feeling worried.

Zhang Chen smiled and said, "Don't worry, the buns we bought can last for another day."

Such a big case occurred in the village, with dozens of children being abducted and sold, which naturally alarmed the police. Some police officers went into the mountains to patrol, but still found nothing.

Even the police came to question the two of them, but Zhang Chen and Xu Erniu shook their heads three times: "I didn't see it! I didn't hear it! I don't know!"

The constable was helpless and the matter had to be left unresolved.

Then Zhang Chen went into the city again to make large purchases. He ostentatiously spent money on buying meat in the crowd, which made many people tempted.

The Third Night

Xiu Liu led his two brothers to the ruined temple and saw Zhang Chen and Xu Erniu sitting in front of the campfire.

Xiu Liu held the package in his hand and knelt down in front of Zhang Chen: "Here is three hundred taels of silver, please check it, little ancestor."

Zhang Chen opened the package in front of the fire, and the white silver made Xu Erniu's eyes widen.

"Not bad." Zhang Chen praised.

"I want to practice in seclusion for 21 days..." Xiu Liu looked at Zhang Chen cautiously and whispered, "The police have been investigating strictly recently, so I want to avoid the spotlight."

"Your brothers should not spend money recently, so as not to attract other people's attention." Zhang Chen said.

Upon hearing this, Xiu Liu immediately bowed respectfully: "Yes!"

Zhang Chen nodded and signaled Xiu Liu to leave.

After Xiu Liu left, Xu Erniu threw herself at the silver, her eyes full of disbelief: "So much silver? How many cakes can I buy with this?"

Then he turned his head and looked at Zhang Chen: "Why did Xiu Liu give you money?"

"Because he is afraid of me." Zhang Chen said with a smile.

"But where does Xiu Liu get the money?" She was a little confused.

"No matter where Xiu Liu got the money, we are rich now." Xu Erniu's eyes turned into silver.

"We have the money to go to Qingcheng Mountain. Let's go to Qingcheng Mountain tomorrow." Xu Erniu said.

"Don't worry, we need to rest for two months and take good care of ourselves. With our small bodies, we might collapse before we can walk for long." Zhang Chen comforted Xu Erniu.

After hearing Zhang Chen's words and looking at the silver in the package, Xu Erniu scratched her head and said, "You earned the money, so we'll listen to you."

"We should keep a low profile recently and not spend money lavishly," Zhang Chen said.

Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye it was already the 21st. During these 21 days, Zhang Chen lived a low-key life. Even when he went out to buy things, he kept a low profile and tried not to attract attention.

Late at night that day, Xu Erniu was sleeping soundly. Zhang Chen suddenly opened his eyes and saw a blood-red shadow appear at the door in the darkness.

"Have you succeeded in your cultivation?" Zhang Chen felt the mysterious aura, opened his eyes and looked towards the door, and saw Xiu Liu who had turned into a blood-red shadow. It was obvious that the other party had succeeded in cultivating the Blood God Son.

"Young ancestor has great magical powers, and the methods he bestowed upon me are even more exquisite. Now that you are passing on the skills, there is no way that I can't succeed?" The blood-red shadow knelt on the ground, still as respectful as before.

Zhang Chen looked at Xiu Liu who had turned into a bloody shadow, and there was a hint of disdain in his eyes: "You look too scary like this, remember to bring a robe to wrap yourself up next time. Also, remember to find a physical body to attach to as soon as possible, so as not to scare people."

Xiu Liu turned into the Son of Blood God and destroyed his own physical body, but he could still attach himself to others and make the physical body of others become his own.

Upon hearing this, Xiu Liu said respectfully: "I will find a body tomorrow."

Zhang Chen nodded in satisfaction. Xiu Liu cautiously asked, "I wonder how the little ancestor will arrange for me next?"

"What's next? I need a large sum of money to go to a faraway place as travel expenses." Zhang Chen said to Xiu Liu.

Xiu Liu understood immediately after hearing this: "I understand."

"Be careful and don't cause trouble." Zhang Chen said.

"I know well and will never bring any trouble to the little ancestor." Xiu Liu patted his chest and promised.

Zhang Chen smiled when he heard this: "I hope so!"

After saying this, he waved his hand, signaling Xiu Liu to leave.
