I picked up skill fragments in the demon world.

Chapter 467 Pickup: A grain of sun fire

Facing Xie Lingyun's urging, Zhang Chen took the letter with deep emotion in his heart, and there was an inexplicable look in his eyes. This elder sister of his really cared about him.

Zhang Chen took the blood letter and put it into his sleeve without saying thank you to Xie Lingyun, because considering their relationship, saying the word "thank you" would be awkward.

When Xie Lingyun saw Zhang Chen accept the blood letter, he turned around and walked towards the sun fragments with the fire-proof bead in hand. When he arrived in front of the sun fragments, Xie Lingyun actually placed the fire-proof bead directly towards the sun rock.

As the Fire-Proofing Bead fell, the power of the sun continued to compress and the light between heaven and earth gradually dimmed. At the moment when the Fire-Proofing Bead collided with the sun fragments, the energy of the sun fragments seemed to be suppressed to the limit, and suddenly a wave of light burst out and hit the Fire-Proofing Bead, trying to break open the Fire-Proofing Bead that was suppressing itself.

But who would have thought that after the energy emitted by the sun fragments hit the Fire-Repellent Bead, a ball of golden light fell from the Fire-Repellent Bead and landed at Zhang Chen's feet.

"A skill is released?" Zhang Chen looked at the golden ball of light with a hint of joy in his eyes.

Although the Fire-Repellent Bead appears to be a treasure, its essence is still the essence of Zhang Chen's spirit, which is equivalent to Zhang Chen's clone. It is not surprising that some skills are dropped when the two sides collide.

[A new skill has been discovered. Do you want to pick it up? ]

A message bar popped up on the Gold Finger page, swaying in front of Zhang Chen's eyes, making Zhang Chen's eyes pop out: "Pick it up!"

Following Zhang Chen's order, the golden finger light ball under his feet disappeared, and then a line of words appeared on Zhang Chen's golden finger page:
[You picked up a sun fire ember]

[18th skill (level 0): a sun fire ember (100000000/)

Zhang Chen looked at the introduction on the Gold Finger page, with a hint of curiosity in his eyes: "Sun True Fire Embers? It was at the eighth level when it was born, and the skill value actually requires 100 million to upgrade? The current skill value is too worthless, isn't it?"

The eighth level is equivalent to the Yin God realm, which is already an extremely high level. The eighth level flame is definitely not an ordinary flame.

“I don’t know what power my sun fire embers have.” Zhang Chen’s eyes swept across his own golden finger page, but he didn’t have a chance to test it. He set his eyes on Xie Lingyun, and saw that the fire-proof beads suppressed the sun fragments. Xie Lingyun’s Yin Spirit used some method to swallow the fire-proof beads and the sun fragments together. Then Xie Lingyun sat cross-legged on the spot, pinched an unknown seal with his hands, and it was unknown what he was practicing.

After about three days, Xie Lingyun suddenly opened his eyes and spit out a red bead from his mouth. It was the fire-repelling bead: "Fortunately, I have fulfilled my mission. The mission is accomplished. The Yangshen Avenue is just around the corner."

Xie Lingyun's voice was somewhat excited. It could be said that the Yangshen realm was the biggest hurdle for practitioners, and also the biggest transformation. Once one entered this realm, they would be able to leap over the dragon gate and see the scenery on another road.

Zhang Chen took the Fire Repellent Bead and praised, "Sister, you are really capable. This sun fragment contains the true fire of the sun. Sister can actually refine it. It shows that your foundation is very deep."

“I was also lucky enough to ignite my heart fire with the help of the real dragon’s dragon ball, and to introduce the sun fragments into my heart fire, which suppressed the core of my heart fire, nourished the origin of my soul, cleansed the yin in my soul, and enhanced my strength. It won’t be long before my soul will be completely cleansed, and transformed into the legendary Yang God. My whole body will be transformed into pure Yang, and I will live for five hundred years.” Xie Lingyun’s eyes were full of longing.

Zhang Chen was also a little envious. Xie Lingyun's opportunity and fortune were indeed against the will of heaven. If it weren't for his Fire-Repelling Beads today, even if Xie Lingyun had a secret method, it would be difficult for him to obtain the sun fragments. But he happened to have the Fire-Repelling Beads, and his Fire-Repelling Beads could even resist the true fire of the sun.

"Someone told me in the past that Dugu Qiu, the best master in the palace, achieved the status of Yang God in ten years. I was a little skeptical about it. Now, when I think about it carefully, it will probably take me ten years to reach the level of Yang God. Although it is an exaggeration to say that it can achieve the status of Yang God in ten years, it is not impossible. The reason why we feel it is false is purely because our vision is too low and we have never seen the scenery at a higher level." Xie Lingyun's words were full of emotion.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Chen felt that having the help of natural resources and treasures from the outside world was one thing, and one's own talent was another. Talent accounted for the vast majority of it. In the past, Xie Xuan entered the Taoism in seven days. Xie Lingyun, as Xie Xuan's daughter, inherited Xie Xuan's talent. With Xie Lingyun's qualifications and the help of treasures, it is not surprising that she can achieve what she has today.

"Brother, I am so grateful to you this time. Otherwise, I would have to waste at least ten more years to break into the Yang Shen realm." Xie Lingyun expressed his most sincere gratitude to Zhang Chen.

Zhang Chen smiled softly: "This is all sister's own chance and luck, I just go with the flow."

Zhang Chen is very good at speaking and can always provide people with the greatest emotional value, making people feel comfortable and happy when listening to him.

"You should quickly take this small branch." Xie Lingyun changed the subject and looked at the branch stuck in the ground.

The sapling was green, like a piece of pure jade, like a work of art. Zhang Chen looked at the branches in front of him, his eyes showing a trace of burning: "I don't know if this sapling has taken root or sprouted. If it does, I will make a lot of money."

A living Tongtian Jianmu seedling is worth as much as an innate treasure. Even if it is not alive, I can still think of a way to bring it back to life.

Zhang Chen walked forward with the Treasure Mirror of Heaven and Earth on his head and stretched out his hand to grab the twig, but unexpectedly a green light shield burst out from the branch and blocked Zhang Chen's palm.

"Do these spiritual roots of heaven and earth have the function of self-protection?" Zhang Chen was not in a hurry even though his palm was slipped away. He remembered that the coffin made by the princess using the immortal tree also had the function of self-protection.

"I'm here to help you!" Xie Lingyun's Yin spirit stepped forward and reached for the twig. However, just as he approached the twig, he encountered the same situation as Zhang Chen. The twig shook slightly, and a layer of protective shield rose up, blocking Zhang Chen back.

“Where does this small branch come from? I’m already at the top of the eighth level, but I can’t do anything about it?” Xie Ling’s eyes showed a hint of disbelief.

Zhang Chen ignored Xie Lingyun's words and stared at the small branch in a daze. After a moment, he came up with an idea: "Sister, please step back and watch me pull out this branch."

Xie Lingyun stepped back as instructed, and saw a five-colored light flashing behind Zhang Chen, which gently brushed against the branch. The next moment, the green branch disappeared without a trace, and the five-colored light also disappeared. Only a branch about one and a half meters long remained in Zhang Chen's hand.

The branches are only as thick as chopsticks and look fragile and could break at any time, just like a jade carving.

Zhang Chen looked at the branch in his hand and saw that the base of the branch was cut neatly at an angle, but there were no roots at all, and there was obviously no sign of revival.

"I wonder what this branch is used for." Xie Lingyun came forward curiously.

Zhang Chen held the branch and pondered the secret, but he could not figure it out after pondering for a long time: "Logically speaking, a branch like this should have withered long ago after being separated from the main body. How come it is still in good condition after countless years?"

"Don't think about it. This Jianmu branch still exists today, and it is all fed by vitality." The voice of the Great Freedom Demon appeared in Zhang Chen's ears.

"What do you mean?" Zhang Chen said to himself.

“This branch absorbs all the life in the entire Taoist temple to prolong its own life, so it still maintains vitality. If you are lucky enough in the future and master the top magical power of the wood element, you may be able to revive it. Of course, if you can find the Three Lights Divine Water, you can also make this seedling take root. At that time, combined with your ascension pool, you will have an endless supply of liquid of fortune to help your immortal body transform.” said the Great Freedom Heavenly Demon.

"Top-notch wood-related magical power?" Zhang Chen looked at the branch in his hand with his eyes wide open. If he could get the skills dropped from this branch, would he have a chance to obtain top-notch wood-related magical power, such as the 'Wood Authority' like the 'Earth Authority', so that he could directly order this branch to sprout?

Zhang Chen thought he could give it a try, but now was not a good time to experiment. Zhang Chen opened his mouth and swallowed the Jianmu branch into the Basher space, recalling what the Great Freedom Heavenly Demon had said before. The Jianmu branch used the entire Wuzhuang Temple's disciples and followers as a source of life to extend its own lifespan, so what about Xu Erniu?

Did Xu Erniu suffer any disaster?

Zhang Chen felt worried: "What happened in the past to cause such a mess?"

"Nothing must happen to Xu Erniu." Zhang Chen felt a little uneasy.

"Should we leave or continue exploring?" Xie Lingyun looked at Zhang Chen. She felt that in such a strange place, it would be better to listen to Zhang Chen's opinions.

"Keep exploring!" Zhang Chen looked at the ruins of Wuzhuang Temple: "Maybe there will be some unexpected gains."

Zhang Chen left the high platform and directly put away the Treasure Mirror of Heaven and Earth. He came to an abandoned palace along the way and looked at the ruins all over the ground. The next moment, the earthly power was mobilized, and with it as the center, all the broken walls and debris began to be twisted and cleaned up, and then classified and placed according to the rules, revealing the situation inside the palace.

Under the ruins of the palace, more than a dozen skeletons appeared.

Zhang Chen walked forward and looked at the bones. Even though countless thousands of years had passed, they still shone with a luster like agate and looked very extraordinary.

"What a strange bone." Xie Lingyun followed Zhang Chen. When she saw the jade bone with her bright eyes, she said in surprise, "How come this bone looks like jade? What incredible realm must he have reached when he was alive? I heard that only when one has cultivated to the tenth level can one refine bones and transform them into jade bones, which have the power of immortality. The owner of this bone must have been a great cultivator who had reached the tenth level before he died."
