I picked up skill fragments in the demon world.

Chapter 403: Five Elements Escape Technique

"The ancestor told me that after my father came out of seclusion, he went down the mountain to do an important thing for the sect. I don't know how long it will take for him to come back."

Hearing Zhang Chen's words, Xu Erniu's eyes turned red, tears streaming down her cheeks: "I can't care about that bastard father now. Our lives are more important."

At this time, Xu Erniu had become a young and beautiful girl. Her face was as beautiful as a fairy in a painting, and she looked like a blooming hibiscus, swaying gracefully.

Zhang Chen knew that Xu Erniu's words were not sincere, and he wanted to reach out and rub the girl's head to comfort her, but then he thought about it and withdrew his hand. The girl from the past has grown into a grown-up woman now, and he cannot rub her casually.

Just hearing Xu Erniu's words, Zhang Chen's heart was filled with a myriad of emotions. He could not imagine that the Patriarch of Immortality would be so despicable as to deceive Xu Erniu with lies.

"Don't be in a hurry to go down the mountain. Things haven't gotten that serious yet." Zhang Chen said with a smile, and added in his mind: "I can go down the mountain to escape the disaster, but you can't. You are always being watched by the immortal thieves. If there is any disturbance, it will alert them and you will be in huge trouble."

Zhang Chen knew that he had only one chance to take action and one chance to escape. If he failed, the master would kill him and both he and Xu Erniu would be persecuted.

Zhang Chen comforted Xu Erniu for a while, and then asked about the great supernatural power of reversing yin and yang: "How is your understanding of reversing yin and yang going?"

"I have gained some knowledge, although I have only comprehended a little bit of the mystery. It is really incredible. Where did you get this magical power? Even the magical power passed down to me by my ancestors is not more powerful than yours." Xu Erniu stared at Zhang Chen with burning eyes.

Zhang Chen smiled mysteriously upon hearing this, and answered a question that was not related to the question: "This magical power is of great importance, remember not to reveal even a single bit."

Xu Erniu nodded obediently, and then said: "I am going to make some pills to help you cultivate your magic power, which can speed up your practice. It doesn't matter if your aptitude is poor, I will use the pills to help you achieve immortality."

Xu Erniu turned and left, leaving Zhang Chen standing under the banana tree in silence, thinking in his heart how to kill the immortal thief.

"In theory, the easiest way to kill the Immortal Thief is to find a way to arouse his inner demon, or to lure him into the Nine-Bend Yellow River Array. Then he will surely die. Unfortunately, the Immortal Thief is not the Monk Haichan, and it is not so easy to arouse his inner demon, and he has no reason to enter the Nine-Bend Yellow River Array." Zhang Chen kept deducing various calculations, but unfortunately, unless the Innate Peacock took action, his chance of winning against the Immortal Thief would be less than one in ten thousand.

The gap in cultivation between the two sides is so huge, so huge that it makes people despair.

Zhang Chen turned into a drop of water and swam into the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation. Along the way, he came to the place where the innate peacock attained nirvana. He saw that the figure of the monk Haichan had disappeared, and only a silk cocoon shining with colorful light wrapped up the monk Haichan.

"The Nine Transformations of the Heavenly Silkworm? What an incredible race." Zhang Chen's eyes showed a hint of disbelief. He moved forward to observe the colorful cocoons and saw mysterious runes flashing on the cocoons. Flowing with them were the exquisite mysteries of the innate five elements.

Zhang Chen stared at the rune for a while, and then he felt dizzy. His brain could no longer handle the huge amount of information, so he had to close his eyes.

"The innate mysteries of the five elements are simply not something that a mortal like me can glimpse." Zhang Chen muttered, walked around the cocoon, and mobilized the mark to sense the imprint. After confirming that even if the other party was reborn from Nirvana, he still could not escape the constraints of the life and death mark, he left the formation contentedly.

"For me, as long as I can delay the time and wait until the innate peacock comes out, that will be victory." Zhang Chen muttered secretly.

Time passed quickly. One month later, Zhang Chen looked at his own Golden Finger page. The Golden Finger points on it had exceeded 30 million. At this time, the energy obtained from the Ascension Pool in his devouring space was almost exhausted. Only a little bit was left to wrap the Golden Wind Flower to prevent it from being digested.

Zhang Chen's mind moved, and the points on the cheating screen evaporated. Then he saw the cheating screen refreshed, and the skill screen flashed:
[17 skills: Water, Wood, Fire escape technique (0\10000000)]

【Points: 20000000】

As the Fire Escape Technique was brought out, a stream of information poured into Zhang Chen's mind. The exquisite mysteries of the Five Elements flowed in Zhang Chen's mind, and he had a clear understanding of the exquisiteness of the Fire Escape Technique.

Zhang Chen took out a flint and lit the lamp oil on the table. The next moment, a thumb-sized flame rose from the wick. Then Zhang Chen silently recited the formula in his mind while activating magic power in his hands. His figure disappeared in the lamplight and merged with the wick.

Unfortunately, he could only stay in the wick, and if there was no continuous sea of ​​fire, he would not be able to escape.

After a moment, Zhang Chen jumped out of the wick and looked at the Gold Finger page:

Water gives birth to wood, wood gives birth to fire. According to this order, it should be the order of the Five Elements Escape Technique, which is gradually upgraded according to the relationship of mutual generation.

If we follow this rule, fire creates earth, then the next thing should be earth escape technique?

Zhang Chen's heart was pounding when he thought of this. If he could cultivate the Earth Escape Technique, then the Five Elements Escape Technique would not be useless. When he went out with the help of the Earth Escape Technique, it would be extremely secretive. Unless he had the Sky Eye or other pupil techniques, it would be impossible to detect Zhang Chen's whereabouts. Thinking of this, Zhang Chen clicked directly, and saw the gold finger screen flashing again:

[17 skills: Water, Wood, Fire, Earth Escape Technique (0\10000000)]

【Points: 10000000】

It’s indeed the earth escape technique!

At this moment, a stream of information poured into Zhang Chen's mind, and a mysterious force flowed through Zhang Chen's body. Then Zhang Chen felt that the soil in front of him was very familiar, and he felt like it was his home.

Zhang Chen walked out of the floor of the house and stood still in the mud of the courtyard. He recited the incantation silently and activated his magic power. A yellow light flashed and Zhang Chen disappeared without a trace.

At this time, Zhang Chen turned into a ray of ochre light, freely shuttling through the earth. It felt as if Zhang Chen had turned into a fish, and the earth had turned into a pond, allowing Zhang Chen to swim freely in the pond.

As for objects like tree roots and minerals in the soil, Zhang Chen's earth escape technique could not penetrate them. He could only swim past the obstacles in front of him like a fish swimming past obstacles.

"Not bad! This earth escape technique is very practical, but the speed is not fast. It is almost the same as my normal running speed." Zhang Chen felt the speed of the earth escape technique and felt a little disappointed.

Earth escape techniques can only pass through soil, not metal.

After a while, Zhang Chen reappeared in the yard, looked at the final points, and added them directly:

[17 Skills: Five Elements Escape Technique (0\10000000000)]

【Points: 0】

Needless to say, the Gold Escape Technique can be used to escape in metal ores, but its function is somewhat useless.

But the Five Elements Escape Technique could actually be upgraded, and the points required were 10 billion. Zhang Chen couldn't help but take a deep breath: "What kind of skill actually requires 10 billion points?"

"What is the next upgrade of the Five Elements Escape Technique? It should involve Yin and Yang, right? This should be the Yin and Yang Escape Technique, right?" Zhang Chen thought to himself, "If I can master the Yin and Yang Escape Technique, can I master the Chaos-level Escape Technique later? If I reason based on this, it's not too far-fetched. Not only is it not far-fetched, but it is very likely."

Zhang Chen was sensing the mysteries of the Five Elements Escape Technique at this time, sensing the various essences and mysteries of the Five Elements Escape Technique. In the dark, he was sensing the innate five elements, and he felt that his understanding of the five-colored divine light was too crude, and his understanding of the five elements was too narrow.

"The five elements are everywhere, and these five feathers are the essence of the innate five elements, and the authority of the innate five elements." Zhang Chen stood in the yard thoughtfully. He even had a deeper understanding of the process by which Xu Erniu stimulated the growth and germination of plants. He saw some of the tricks. It was clearly the effect of the authority of the wood element, but Xu Erniu's methods were a bit rough and not sophisticated enough.

Zhang Chen hesitated for a moment before saying, "Even if I can see some of the tricks, that method is not something I can perform. It involves the subtleties of the five elements, and also has some shadows of the moment of blooming. This girl not only masters the avenue of the five elements, but also the avenue of life."

Just when Zhang Chen was lost in thought, Xu Erniu came again. This time, Xu Erniu was holding a small cloth bag in her hand. She was wearing a Taoist robe, looking sloppy and casual like a boy. She walked into Zhang Chen's courtyard.

"Zhang Chen! Come out quickly. I have recently refined some new pills. Please keep them carefully. If we get injured when we go down the mountain in the future, these are all life-saving stuff." Xu Erniu came to Zhang Chen with a small package and opened the package, revealing dozens of bottles and jars inside:
"There are some here to heal wounds, some to build muscle, some to stop bleeding, and some to regulate mana..."

"Is there any poison?" Zhang Chen asked.

Xu Erniu was stunned: "You are right, we are still missing the poison that can harm people!"

"This is not difficult. I will refine a few more furnaces when I get back. It's better to be prepared." Xu Erniu said with a smile.

While talking, Xu Erniu carefully took out a small bottle and said to Zhang Chen: "You must keep this bottle of medicine well and don't lose it."

When Zhang Chen saw Xu Erniu handing over a small bottle so solemnly, his eyes were full of curiosity: "Is there anything special about this bottle of medicine?"

"You don't know, there's a ruthless man down the mountain in recent years, holding a knife that emits blood. Once you're hit, you'll bleed to death!" Xu Erniu said, "My pill is for stopping bleeding! It's a super good one!"
