I picked up skill fragments in the demon world.

Chapter 378 Grass Rejuvenation Pill

Zhang Chen was excited by the bad idea proposed by the Great Freedom Demon. If he could really resolve the troubles brought by the innate yin and yang energies, it would not be impossible.

The innate yin and yang energies are supreme treasures that are extremely valuable. Whoever encounters them will treasure them. But at this moment, the supreme treasure brought endless distress to Zhang Chenlai.

"By the way, when did you plant the devil seed in the heart of the Changsheng Patriarch?" Zhang Chen asked curiously.

The Great Freedom Heavenly Demon said proudly: "Your question is too narrow. You should ask, 'Among all the cultivators in this world, which one can escape my clutches?' From the Earth Era to now, countless tens of thousands of years have passed. My traces have long been spread throughout the hearts of all living beings. I have become the incarnation of the law, and I am one with the Tao. I am the supreme Heavenly Demon Dao, the supreme ruler of the demon world."

Zhang Chen was too lazy to pay attention to his narcissism, and just cautiously reminded him: "You must find out carefully and don't make any mistakes. The Changsheng Patriarch is very powerful. If there is any mistake, both of us will be in trouble."

"Don't worry. If it were normal, I would have some trouble meeting him. But he is about to fall into a calamity. I, the ancestor, am testing him on behalf of heaven and earth. This old guy is going to be in big trouble." The Great Freedom Demon muttered, "If you are willing to lend me a helping hand, there may be a chance to turn that old guy into a puppet."

Zhang Chen shook his head when he heard this: "You are dreaming. How could I help the tyrant to commit atrocities?"

The Great Freedom Demon sneered and stood lazily aside watching Zhang Chen clearing the weeds. After a day passed, Zhang Chen came to the Sutra Library and saw Xu Erniu already waiting in the pavilion.

"I knew you would come." Xu Erniu put down the book in her hand and looked at Zhang Chen with a smile.

Zhang Chen looked at Xu Erniu and smelled a herbal scent. He asked curiously, "I haven't seen you for a while. Your cultivation seems to have improved a lot."

"I've consumed a lot of spiritual medicine recently, and I've been busy refining pills, so I didn't come to see you." Xu Erniu took out a jade bottle from her bosom and handed it to Zhang Chen:
"Zhang Chen, this is the elixir I made. It can cleanse your marrow, remove hair, and forge bones. It can help you strengthen your essence, energy, and spirit. Try taking it first. If it doesn't work, I'll make you another elixir after a while."

Zhang Chen took the jade bottle. There was still a trace of warmth in the bottle, which touched Zhang Chen's heart.

However, just as Zhang Chen was about to speak, the Great Freedom Demon appeared beside Zhang Chen's ear and looked at Xu Erniu opposite with curiosity: "Cao Huan Dan?"

Zhang Chen was stunned when he heard this, but Xu Erniu was right in front of him, so he had no way to ask. He could only temporarily suppress his doubts and asked, "Have you seen your father?"

Xu Erniu shook her head, her eyes full of disappointment. "My father is still in seclusion. My master said that he is going through a death calamity, and it will be very difficult for him to get through it. Only if I improve my cultivation and refine a magical elixir can I help my father break through the calamity."

At this point, Xu Erniu said to Zhang Chen: "Okay, take these elixirs first, and I'll come to see you again in a few days."

After Xu Erniu finished speaking, she left the Sutra Library, leaving Zhang Chen holding the medicine bottle. He asked curiously, "Are you saying that the medicine in this bottle is Cao Huan Dan?"

If Zhang Chen remembered correctly, Cao Huandan had another name, which was ginseng fruit.

"I mean that girl is going to be trained into a Grass Dan by someone." said the Great Freedom Demon.

Zhang Chen was stunned when he heard this, his eyes full of horror: "What do you mean by this?"

"There's something wrong with the way that girl practices. In the end, she will refine herself into a pill. This girl has been plotted against and has become someone else's nourishment." said the Great Freedom Demon.

Zhang Chen clenched the bottle in his hand and stared at the Great Freedom Demon: "Don't talk nonsense."

"Old Ancestor, how can my eyesight be wrong?" The Great Freedom Heavenly Demon said: "The method of Cao Huandan is to swallow all kinds of spiritual medicines in the world, gather all the spiritual medicines into one person, and then nourish them in the human body according to the secret method. At that time, it will form human medicine, so it can also be called human body fruit. Once it is fully developed, smelling it can make you live forty-eight thousand years, and eating one can eliminate thousands of disasters."

Zhang Chen's face turned cold when he heard this, and his head was buzzing. Xu Erniu's skills were taught by the Changsheng Patriarch himself, and the Changsheng Patriarch was now preparing to overcome the tribulation...

Zhang Chen took a deep breath, turned his head and looked at the Great Freedom Demon, his eyes full of caution: "You are not seeing things, are you?"

“I may not understand it due to my incomplete memory, but I will definitely not be wrong!” said the Great Freedom Demon.

Zhang Chen couldn't sit still after hearing this, and immediately asked in his heart: "Is there any solution?"

The Great Freedom Demon chuckled and said, "If it were someone else, they would really just stare blankly and be helpless in the face of such a thing. But it's different for you. If you have mastered the Blood-Transforming Divine Sword, you can use it to extract the medicinal properties of the Grass-Returning Pill and suppress its maturation speed. Then, when the time comes, you can make that old guy die under the heavenly tribulation when he is undergoing the tribulation. Everything will be simple."

“Practicing the Blood-Transforming Divine Sword? It is so difficult to gather eighteen kinds of blood.” Zhang Chen said.

"Boy, you don't understand, right? Where is this place? How can the resources of the material world compare with those here? The demon clan has pure-blooded monsters. You just need to kill a few of them, and you can naturally refine the Blood-Transforming Divine Sword." The Great Freedom Demon said.

Zhang Chen's heart was pounding when he heard this: Is there a chance to cultivate into the Blood-Transforming Divine Sword? Is this true?
He has been coveting the Blood-Transforming Divine Sword for a long time. If he can cultivate the Blood-Transforming Divine Sword, wouldn't he then have a powerful weapon in his hands?
"Of course it's true. Although times have changed, there are still a lot of pure blood left by innate creatures." said the Great Freedom Demon.

“If I want to practice the Blood-Transforming Divine Sword, I must first resolve the Yin and Yang energies in my body. Now that the Yin and Yang energies have assimilated my body, even if I get enough blood, it will be difficult for me to practice.” He has now obtained seven kinds of blood, and there are only eleven kinds of blood left to practice the Blood-Transforming Divine Sword. Perhaps there is hope that he can collect all of them in the spiritual world and practice the Blood-Transforming Divine Sword.

The real power of the Blood-Transforming Divine Sword is that once it is successfully cultivated, every time you kill a person, it will purify the ancestral blood remaining in the other person's blood. The Blood-Transforming Divine Sword is a truly quick-to-master killing weapon, and only after cultivating it will you experience its horror.

"What should we do with Xu Erniu? Is it too late to change the mantra for cultivation now?" Zhang Chen didn't want Xu Erniu to continue practicing this method, so he asked the Great Freedom Demon.

Upon hearing this, the Great Freedom Demon said, "Why not practice? The Grass Returning Pill is a method that directly leads to the fruit. Although it has various disadvantages, if you practice it to the state of great success, it is also a supreme method. You can control the growth and decline of plants and trees in the world with a thought, and borrow the power of plants and trees in the world, and even comprehend the Great Way of Wood Element. Then, go to the next level, master the law of life, and then master the law of creation. This is a great way to heaven, but it is easy to be coveted by others. But how can you achieve immortality smoothly?"

"The later you practice this Herbal Elixir Method, the faster you will progress. It is a shortcut. The more you absorb the Qi of plants, the stronger your foundation will be, and the faster you will practice. Your practice speed is millions of times faster than that of ordinary practitioners. In the end, you can absorb all the plants in the world into your body and become the king of plants. By doing so, you can achieve the Great Dao. Who would dare to covet it?" However, the Great Freedom Demon disagreed with Zhang Chen's words: "The road to immortality is full of twists and turns. How can people not have disasters when they seize the fortune of heaven and earth? Only those who rise in disasters are strong, and can continue to seize the fortune of others to complete themselves."

“Besides, once it becomes a Grass Huandan, there is no way back.” The Great Freedom Heavenly Demon sighed softly: “Huandan is like a fetus and an egg. Either he will give birth to a new life from it, break the fetus and achieve the Great Dao, or the fetus will die in the womb.”

Zhang Chen fell silent upon hearing this, clenched his fists tightly in his sleeves, and his eyes were full of coldness: "Master Changsheng deserves to die!"

"No!" Zhang Chen suddenly realized something was wrong: "What about Xu Erniu's father? Who is her father? Is there a father in this Taoist temple?"

"I don't know about that." The Great Freedom Demon shook his head.

Zhang Chen fell into deep thought at this time, constantly sorting out various messy clues in his mind, and finally only two questions remained: "First, who is Xu Erniu's father? Is Xu Erniu's father still alive? Second, who is Xu Erniu's mother? Where did Xu Erniu's mother go?"

Xu Erniu's mother said that Xu Erniu's father was an immortal from Mount Qingcheng. Is Wuzhuang Temple the only monk from Mount Qingcheng?

All kinds of doubts flashed through Zhang Chen's mind, and he turned his head to look at the Great Freedom Demon: "Old Deng, how many Taoist sects are there in Qingcheng Mountain?"

"There is only this one family." said the Great Freedom Demon.

Zhang Chen was thoughtful after hearing this. If that was the case, then there should be no problem. Xu Erniu's father should be a cultivator from Qingcheng Mountain. But what puzzled him now was, is Xu Erniu's father still alive?
"It's very strange. If Xu Erniu's father was still alive, why would her mother travel thousands of miles to Yangzhou City to give birth to Xu Erniu? And why did Xu Erniu become a beggar on the streets and almost starved to death?" Zhang Chen couldn't understand. How could a husband and wife be separated?

Unless something unexpected happens.

"Calculating based on Xu Erniu's age, her father and mother met five or six years ago, and then her mother gave birth to Xu Erniu outside the city of Yangzhou. In other words, as long as I find out what happened five or six years ago and what rumors and turmoil there were, I will be able to find out the truth." Zhang Chen quickly sorted out an idea.

"I advise you not to do this, and you can't even ask." The Great Freedom Demon said, "If you ask about what happened six or seven years ago and find out about Xu Erniu's father, you will definitely not be able to hide it from the Immortal Ancestor. At that time, you will alert the enemy and put you in danger. A person who has lived for tens of thousands of years will be on guard at the slightest sign of trouble. Otherwise, he would have died in someone else's calculations long ago."

After hearing what the Great Freedom Demon said, Zhang Chen scratched his head and said, "If I don't find out the truth of the matter, I won't be able to do anything about it."

"Why bother with so many things? Let's knock that old guy to the ground first. Then I'll take over his body and make him a puppet. Then everything will be clear to us." The voice of the Great Freedom Demon was full of pride.

Rough words are not rough.

Now that it is confirmed that Xu Erniu was plotted against and has mastered the Grass Rejuvenating Pill, why bother with so much? Just take down the Immortal Ancestor first.

Zhang Chen put aside his worries, took out the medicine bottle, opened it, and saw small pills like Liuwei Dihuang Pills, shining with a white and crystal color like jade, appearing in Zhang Chen's palm.

Zhang Chen picked up a meatball and put it into his mouth. The meatball melted in his mouth. Then Zhang Chen felt a burst of heat in his stomach. The heat was instantly consumed by the yin and yang energies and had no effect at all.

"It's not very useful to me, but it's still good to try as a snack." Zhang Chen threw the pill into his mouth like eating beans, and then thought about refining the Blood-Transforming Divine Sword. If he could cultivate the Blood-Transforming Divine Sword in the spiritual world, it would be a rare opportunity for him.

Time passed quickly and another month passed. The Great Freedom Demon appeared beside Zhang Chen again. "I have heard that the old bastard's true spirit is sealed in a hall in the back mountain of Wuzhuang Temple. However, the hall is guarded by disciples all day long, so it is not easy to sneak in. If you were not suppressed by the innate yin and yang energy, it would not be difficult for you to sneak in. But now that you have lost all your magical powers, it is difficult to get in."

The Great Freedom Demon was also in a headache. There were countless masters in the Wuzhuang Temple, not to mention the ninth-order Yang God level, there were also quite a few at the tenth, eleventh, and twelfth levels. Zhang Chen's cultivation was too low, and he would be in danger if he wanted to do something.

"Does Wuzhuang Temple have any enemies? If the enemies of Wuzhuang Temple take the opportunity to attack Wuzhuang Temple, causing chaos in Wuzhuang Temple, will we have a chance to profit from the chaos?" Zhang Chen asked.

"Wuzhuang Temple is one of the top three sects in this world. There are only two that can be compared with it, one is Kunlun and the other is Taiping. Kunlun Temple's whereabouts are elusive, and the number of disciples is extremely small. It takes the path of reversing the innate, reversing to innate creatures, mastering the great way of heaven and earth. It is the strongest, but also the most mysterious. Taiping Dao does not care about meat and vegetables. It has both demon tribes and human disciples. It is a mixed bag, and it practices the great way of Feng Shui. Its great way of Feng Shui seizes the fortune of heaven and earth, the mystery of the sun and the moon, and has the ability to change the world. If you want to cause chaos in Wuzhuang Temple, you can only start from these two sects."

Zhang Chen listened to the words of the Great Freedom Demon and became curious about the other two avenues.

Then I heard the Great Freedom Heavenly Demon say: "Then the Taiping Dao may be able to make use of it. The Taiping Dao practices Feng Shui and is good at using the energy of Feng Shui dragon veins. The practice of Wuzhuang Temple also requires the energy of Feng Shui dragon veins. The two are simply natural competitors. If we can provoke a war between the two sides and make them fight to the death, then we can take advantage of the chaos and profit."
