I picked up skill fragments in the demon world.

Chapter 473: Going to poverty and falling to hell

Xu Erniu was captured by the innate peacock?
Zhang Chen looked at the diary in front of him, his breathing became disordered for a moment, and then he quickly regained his composure. That short line of words revealed a lot of information.

First: The innate peacock also survived the thunder punishment.

Second: Xu Erniu can still write a diary, which means Xu Erniu is still alive.

Zhang Chen quickly turned to the next page, and his pupils contracted again:

"Xiantian Kongque caught me, but he didn't hurt me. He saw that I was in a daze without eating or drinking, and he was afraid that I would starve to death and then be punished by my eldest brother. But my eldest brother is already dead, how can I ask him to settle the score?"

"Ten days later, when I was starving to death, Xiantian Peacock became anxious and told me a piece of news. That is, my eldest brother is very likely not dead, because the mark that my eldest brother left in his spiritual world is still intact and emitting a shining brilliance."

"Later, Xiantian Peacock told me that my eldest brother's body might have been destroyed, but his soul was most likely preserved and went to a mysterious world called the underworld."

"I want to refine a pill that can reverse life and death, break the law of life and death, touch the law of life and death, and lead out the legendary underworld. I want to ask him personally why!"

Then what follows are Xu Erniu's various records of the process of refining pills and collecting pill recipes, and then it comes to an abrupt end. The back of the diary seems to have been turned into powder by a mysterious force, and there is no more record.

There is no record of Xu Erniu's later deeds, nor what exactly happened that year.

"What happened next?" Zhang Chen looked at the diary in his hand. The back half of the diary disappeared out of thin air. He didn't know whether it was torn away by someone or it had never existed in the first place. However, Zhang Chen inferred based on the content of the notes that the back half should have been torn away by someone.

"Could it be that Xu Erniu really refined an elixir that can reverse life and death and bring peace of mind, so she was afraid that the recipe in the diary would be exposed, so she took away the recipe at the back?" Zhang Chen had some speculation in his mind.

At the same time, Zhang Chen was also relieved. Because of his presence, the Innate Peacock did not embarrass Xu Erniu, which was the best news for him. And it seemed that Xu Erniu and the Innate Peacock were mixed together, otherwise when Xu Erniu was refining the elixir here, the Innate Peacock would not have suddenly sent a message, and then the two of them would have left in a hurry, and later there would be the incident that Xu Erniu practiced for 800 years and killed the remnants of Wuzhuang Temple.

"But where did Xu Erniu go? Did her Cao Huan Dan successfully reverse and turn into a ginseng fruit tree?" Zhang Chen was completely confused.

He knew part of the truth about the past, but more of the truth rolled in like a fog, making it completely difficult for Zhang Chen to see clearly.

"No, if Xu Erniu succeeded in refining the elixir, why would she cultivate the branches of the towering Jianmu?" Another thought came to Zhang Chen's mind, and he turned his head to look at the elixir furnace: "So what kind of elixir is being refined in the elixir furnace?"

Just as Zhang Chen was having all sorts of thoughts, Xie Lingyun saw Zhang Chen standing there flipping through a book with a changing expression on his face. So she asked, "What is written in this book that makes you so emotional and even your breathing disordered?"

Zhang Chen closed the notebook after hearing this: "It is the diary of this alchemist. In my memory, the owner of the memory and this alchemist are old acquaintances, so I feel a little emotional."

Zhang Chen carefully put the notebook into his arms, turned his head and looked at the alchemy furnace, thinking: "If I'm not mistaken, the elixir refined in this furnace should be the elixir that can reach the sky and the underworld. Swallowing this elixir may bring the dead back to life, reverse the passage of time and space, and open the passage to the legendary underworld."

"What?" Xie Lingyun's eyes rippled when he heard this: "Are you serious?"

"We'll know if it's true or not once we open it." Zhang Chen lightly walked to the front of the alchemy furnace and looked it up and down. There was a mysterious force flowing throughout the furnace, sealing the orifices inside the furnace, causing the elixir in the furnace to not exchange with the external energy, so the probability of it being preserved was very high.

"Sister, can you open this alchemy furnace?" Zhang Chen asked.

Upon hearing this, Xie Lingyun's Yin Spirit stepped forward and placed his hands on the alchemy furnace. He saw the mysterious power flowing on the furnace, and then Xie Lingyun's Yin Spirit retracted his hands: "The grade of this alchemy furnace is probably beyond my imagination. Let alone opening the alchemy furnace, I am not even qualified to provoke a reaction from the alchemy furnace's mysterious power."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Chen jumped up to the top of the alchemy furnace, grabbed the lid of the furnace, and wanted to use the Mountain Moving Technique to force the lid open. However, the lid of the furnace was as steady as a mountain, without even the slightest shake, and even the mysterious energy was not activated.

"The weight of a lid alone is beyond my imagination. What level of treasure is this furnace? Where did Xu Erniu find this furnace?" Zhang Chen looked at the furnace with curiosity and saw that the lines and patterns on the entire furnace wall had been worn away. Flames and ashes were flowing all over the furnace, and there was no trace of its origin.

"Lao Deng, do you know the origin of this alchemy furnace?" Zhang Chen asked the Great Freedom Demon in his heart.

The Great Freedom Demon ran out of Zhang Chen's body, circled around the alchemy furnace, and said thoughtfully: "It seems that I have some impression, but... I can't remember! The memory is too chaotic, all fragments, can't be sorted out, I can't remember!"

The Great Freedom Demon nodded first, then shook his head to deny it. Zhang Chen glanced at the Great Freedom Demon, not knowing how much truth there was in his words, so he asked, "Is there any way to open the alchemy furnace?"

"Unless you have extremely powerful magical powers, you may be able to open this furnace only if you find the mantra to control it. This furnace is of extremely high quality. It will be useful in refining pills or refining weapons in the future." The Great Freedom Demon touched and rubbed the furnace here and there. He felt that the furnace in front of him was not simple.

And the treasure that can make the Great Freedom Demon excited must not be an ordinary treasure.

Unfortunately, Zhang Chen couldn't move it away because he didn't have the mantra to control this treasure.

"I wonder if the mantra to control this treasure will be dropped if I attack it." A thought flashed through Zhang Chen's mind, but he suppressed the thought temporarily. Instead, he took out the Treasure Mirror of Heaven and Earth in his hand, and saw the Treasure Mirror of Heaven and Earth opened towards the alchemy furnace, wanting to reflect the origin and trace back the past of the alchemy furnace.

You must know that the Treasure Mirror of Heaven and Earth can reflect the origin of all things. The alchemy furnace in front of you is also one of all things, and naturally it is also within the reflection range of the Treasure Mirror of Heaven and Earth.

Just as Zhang Chen's Treasure Mirror of Heaven and Earth shone, a golden light emerged on the alchemy furnace. Countless blurry and faint runes flashed in the golden light, which actually blocked the light of the Treasure Mirror of Heaven and Earth. Then Zhang Chen's Treasure Mirror of Heaven and Earth became chaotic and blurry under the light, and then automatically closed and flew back into Zhang Chen's hands.

"The Treasure Mirror of Heaven and Earth cannot reflect the origin of this alchemy furnace. Is it because my magic power is too low, or I haven't refined the Treasure Mirror of Heaven and Earth enough?" Zhang Chen was somewhat doubtful about his life, not knowing what went wrong.

"This treasure can actually compete with the Treasure Mirror of Heaven and Earth. It is really not an ordinary thing." Seeing this, the Great Freedom Demon was not disappointed. Instead, he became more and more interested.

Zhang Chen looked the alchemy furnace up and down and felt that it was unusual, and he became interested.

"Is there any way to open this alchemy furnace?" Xie Lingyun asked.

"Don't be anxious, let me think about it." Zhang Chen said to Xie Lingyun.

“I don’t know if my magic power can make the Bagua Furnace recognize its master. You know, in this era, the mysterious energy between heaven and earth is exhausted, and all kinds of mystery need to rely on devouring human vitality to maintain their own origin. And my magic power is the greatest nourishment between heaven and earth. I don’t believe that this furnace will not be tempted.” Zhang Chen walked around the furnace and already had an idea in his mind.

Moreover, he also has a backup plan. This alchemy furnace looks like it is made of metal, and his five-colored divine light should be able to absorb it. This physical thing should be within his control.

Zhang Chen walked forward and poured a trace of magic power into the alchemy furnace. As Zhang Chen poured more magic power into it, the alchemy furnace began to glow with divine light. A trace of divine power revived, and a sense of familiarity surged into Zhang Chen's heart. He actually established an inexplicable connection with the alchemy furnace.

"This 'child' is really hungry!" Zhang Chen stroked the alchemy furnace, feeling a little emotional.

"What shitty luck!" The Great Freedom Demon saw that Zhang Chen had just activated his magic power and the alchemy furnace automatically recognized its master, and he couldn't help but curse in his heart.

It’s totally unreasonable!
This era is perfect for Zhang Chen. No mystery can resist the temptation of magic power.

You must know that when the world changes greatly, the mystery will be cut off. Although these treasures last longer than those of the gods, they will eventually mysteriously dissipate and turn into ordinary things one day. If they are nourished by magical power, perhaps the laws of the world can be reversed, thus ushering in the opportunity for a great change in the world.

Sensing the connection between himself and the alchemy furnace, Zhang Chen increased the output of mana in his body. The golden light of the righteous god in his body circulated continuously, and endless mana was forming and pouring into the alchemy furnace in front of him.

With the infusion of magic power, Zhang Chen finally realized the essence of the alchemy furnace. There were divine bans appearing inside, like a hungry baby, waiting for the nourishment of Zhang Chen's magic power.

As Zhang Chen poured his magic power into the divine ban, the divine ban actively drew Zhang Chen's magic power and occupied the divine ban.

After a cup of tea, Zhang Chen mastered the three divine prohibitions, and the magic power in his body was exhausted.

Zhang Chen withdrew his palm and began to recover his magic power, absorbing and exhaling the golden light of the righteous god in his body.

The Great Freedom Demon was circling around the alchemy furnace with a strange look in his eyes. He looked at Zhang Chen from time to time, and then glanced sideways at the alchemy furnace in front of him. His eyes were rolling around non-stop, full of cunning, and no one knew what he was thinking.
