I picked up skill fragments in the demon world.

Chapter 419 Return to reality
Zhang Chen had never seen such a timid Great Freedom Demon!
This old Deng usually looks like he is afraid of chaos in the world, but now he is as honest as a quail. This is the first time Zhang Chen has seen such a person.

“It’s a pity that the purple lightning doesn’t drop skill points. Otherwise, if I can pick up the Purple Thunder, wouldn’t I be invincible in the future?” Zhang Chen secretly set his eyes on the Purple Thunder, but unfortunately the Purple Thunder was not mysterious and would not drop any skills.

At this time, lightning flashed between heaven and earth, and the overwhelming divine thunder shook down, pressing down on the cauldron. Countless sparks burst out, and Zhang Chen watched his body disappear without a trace, and the horrible lightning made his eardrums rumble.

He seemed to hear Xu Erniu's cries faintly, and then Zhang Chen completely lost consciousness in the loud bang.

Inside the Taoist temple, in the bedroom, the fire had begun to dim.

"Bang~
Zhang Chen suddenly turned over and sat up, then stared blankly at the dimming campfire. He raised his hand to look at his intact body, with a hint of surprise in his eyes: "Have I returned from the first level of the spiritual world?"

Zhang Chen felt the magical power flowing smoothly in his body, and the yin-yang grinding wheel was quietly circling in the depths of his spiritual consciousness.

"Interesting!" Zhang Chen's magic power circulated while he was breathing, and the next moment his figure disappeared in the house, and when he reappeared, he was already in the yard.

“The Five Elements Escape Technique can be used not only in the spiritual world, but also in the material world. This way, whatever I want to plan in the future can be much more secretive. There are not so many masters in the material world, and I am not afraid of being discovered.” Zhang Chen was in a good mood at this time.

This time he went to the spiritual world, and the gains were really huge. The only thing that made him a little worried was how Xu Erniu, Xiu Liu, and Xiantian Peacock were doing now.

Zhang Chen felt very tired and mentally exhausted. An indescribable feeling of heaviness surged into his heart, as if he had not slept for several days and nights.

"Never mind, let's go to bed first!" After saying that, Zhang Chen lay down on the recliner, took off his cloak, and fell asleep quietly in front of the fireplace.

After closing his eyes for a while, Zhang Chen suddenly opened his eyes, opened his mouth, and then spit out an ochre-colored mirror from the Bashen space.

"I have brought back the Treasure Mirror of Heaven and Earth. Fortunately! Fortunately! Otherwise, if the Treasure Mirror of Heaven and Earth fell into the hands of the Xiantian Peacock, I would have suffered a great loss." Zhang Chen said to himself.

Zhang Chen looked at the Treasure Mirror of Heaven and Earth for a while, and after nurturing it with his magic power, he swallowed it back into the Basher space.

At this time, an endless stream of energy from the Ascension Pool was transformed from the Feng Shui formation and irrigated into the devouring space, filling the gap in Zhang Chen's devouring space again, giving Zhang Chen the opportunity to hold more things.

For Zhang Chen, the biggest gain from this trip to the ancient land was the Treasure Mirror of Heaven and Earth, the Yin-Yang Grinding Wheel, and the Five Elements Escape Technique.

For Zhang Chen, the rest was not much of a gain.

Or perhaps it was the countless books in Wuzhuang Temple that greatly broadened Zhang Chen's knowledge and gave him some goals for his future practice.

"The thirty-three heavens of the spiritual world are the origin of the immortal way. The corpses of the immortals were dug out from the thirty-three heavens, so I must visit the thirty-three heavens in the future." Zhang Chen said to himself.

As his distracting thoughts subsided, Zhang Chen gradually fell into a deep sleep until the next day when the north wind broke a large tree outside the house. The sound of the tree falling woke Zhang Chen up. Then Zhang Chen took a breath, pulled off his cloak, looked at the flames in the stove, slowly picked up the firewood and added it in. When the firewood gradually burned, Zhang Chen began to prepare his breakfast.

Even those who cultivate immortality need to eat!
For breakfast, Zhang Chen had stewed beef with potatoes, which made his mouth drool. Then he tidied up the yard and returned to his house to begin refining his treasure.

Zhang Chen is very busy, as he needs to refine the Treasure Mirror of Heaven and Earth, and he also needs to nurture the Millstone of Heaven and Earth.

It is extremely difficult to refine the Treasure Mirror of Heaven and Earth. Without the huge magical power provided by the Patriarch of Immortality, Zhang Chen can only rely on the skill of grinding ink with water to refine the restriction bit by bit.

He also had to comprehend the great magical power of reversing yin and yang, and study the mantra of refining the Ascension Pool. He was completely busy.

At noon, Zhang Chen came into the yard wearing a cloak, looking towards the distant mountains and the place where the Ascension Pool fell, with a hint of eagerness in his eyes.

However, he thought for a long time and finally decided not to act rashly: "That old loach has the veins of the North Land, so my earth escape technique will definitely not be hidden from him."

Now Zhang Chen is extremely wary of Old Loach. If he had not witnessed the heavenly punishment before, Zhang Chen would have been ignorant and fearless, and would have been as brave as he could be and would have rushed forward directly. But now Zhang Chen does not want to have anything to do with the dragon vein at all. After all, the heavenly punishment is no joke.

He now felt a little regretful. He wondered why he had used blood to pollute the dragon's energy. This method was too risky. If he was not careful, he would implicate his family and cause heavenly punishment to come. He would be in big trouble.

"That old loach used the power of the north's earth veins to transform into a dragon. Isn't he afraid of heaven's punishment? Or does he have some mysterious way to avoid it?" There was a hint of curiosity in Zhang Chen's eyes.

After thinking for a long time without any clue, Zhang Chen returned to the house and continued to ponder his own magical skills. Now that he could not reach the Qi training level, he could only ponder the formula of reversing yin and yang and refining the Ascension Pool. At night, Zhang Chen took out the Heaven and Earth Treasure Mirror and tried to refine it. However, Zhang Chen soon realized the problem. Looking at the figure reflected on the mirror of the opened Heaven and Earth Treasure Mirror, he could not help but be stunned.

I looked in the mirror and saw that I had a few more white hairs on my temples.

"I don't have much time left! I must find the Longevity Tree Coffin to extend my life!" Zhang Chen closed the Treasure Mirror of Heaven and Earth, and then secretly warned himself.

As for whether he could find the Longevity Tree Coffin, he was not worried. After recovering for a few days, he would use the huge energy of the Ascension Pool to refine the second restriction of the Treasure Mirror of Heaven and Earth. Then he could trace the source and search for all kinds of mysterious auras in the north.

“But the Longevity Tree Coffin is guarded by the Grand Eunuch. Even if I find the Longevity Tree Coffin and want to take it away, it will not be easy.” Zhang Chen said to himself.

Zhang Chen swallowed the Treasure Mirror of Heaven and Earth back into the Basher space, added firewood, closed his eyes and pondered over various mantras.

After thinking for a while, Zhang Chen stopped moving. He suddenly missed Xiao Douding. Xiao Douding was very similar to Xu Erniu, and even had very similar experiences.

"Huang Tiandao must have some plan for Xiao Douding. No matter what Huang Tiandao's plan is, as long as he dares to stretch out his dog claws, I will cut off your claws." There was a hint of murderous intent in Zhang Chen's eyes.

As for meeting the little kid, there was no rush. He had spent nearly twenty years in the spiritual world, but for people in the material world, not much time had passed.

"Huang Tiandao is also a trouble! I need to prepare early." Zhang Chen thought of the eunuch. If he could rely on the court and use the court's power to attack Huang Tiandao, he could save himself a lot of effort.

Nothing happened all night

The next day, Zhang Chen continued his hard practice and lived a monotonous life.

Third day

fourth day

……

It was not until eight days later that Mr. Wuliu came to visit again.

Outside the gate of the Taoist temple, Mr. Wuliu looked at the closed gate and asked the strongman beside him: "Has that kid been out recently?"

"Reporting to you, sir, the boy is practicing hard in the Taoist temple and has not made any abnormal moves." The strong man said respectfully.

Mr. Wuliu stroked his chin and stood outside the door, not knowing what to think. After a while, he said, "Knock on the door!"

The sound of knocking on the door rang out in the empty dark night. The door opened and Zhang Chen appeared in front of Mr. Wuliu with a lazy look on his face. "So it's you, the guy. Why are you knocking so early in the morning? It's really annoying!"

"I was thinking of sending you supplies. I'm afraid you'll starve." Mr. Wuliu didn't care about Zhang Chen's rudeness. Instead, he carefully looked at Zhang Chen's figure with a puzzled look in his eyes. According to his reasoning, Zhang Chen should be in low spirits and getting worse day by day. Why is this guy so rosy now? He doesn't look like someone who has been tortured by the Feng Shui formation at all?
Mr. Wuliu's eyes were full of confusion, but he did not show it. Instead, he clapped his hands and asked the dozen or so guards behind him to carry various supplies and place them in front of the gate, allowing Zhang Chen to carry them in by himself.

Seeing Zhang Chen finish moving the supplies, Mr. Wuliu made a promise: "You should practice well here. When you come out of retreat, the prince will not forget you."

"You old bastard, you talk too much nonsense." Zhang Chen glanced at Mr. Wuliu nonchalantly, turned around and slammed the door shut, no longer bothering to pay attention to the old guy.

Mr. Wuliu was not angry at Zhang Chen's rudeness. Instead, he looked at the closed door in front of him in silence. After a long time, he turned his head and said to the guards beside him: "Have you noticed that this kid seems a little different?"

"It is a little different." A guard said, "The person is still the same person, but I can't tell you exactly what is different."

"In the past, this kid was always a little cautious when facing the palace, with a little restraint and fear, and he was never as presumptuous as he is today." Mr. Wuliu figured it out:

"It's only been a few days, how come this kid's spirit has changed so much? I can't sense any sense of restraint from him at all, it's really weird! Moreover, he has been tortured by the power of the Feng Shui formation, and even if he is not in a depressed state, he should be a little abnormal, right? Why does he look so energetic and doesn't look like he has been persecuted at all?"

Mr. Wuliu had a little doubt in his heart at this moment: "Could it be that there is something wrong with the Feng Shui formation?"
