I picked up skill fragments in the demon world.

Chapter 477 Collecting the Alchemy Furnace
Zhang Chen was a smart man and knew that one should not put all his eggs in one basket. Although the Longevity Tree Coffin could prolong one's life, it was also guarded by an old eunuch holding the Twelve-Level Secret Artifact. If he was not careful, he would fail. He needed to make preparations in advance.

The energy provided by the Ascension Pool is not much. It can provide one hundred thousand points a day, which is thirty-six million a year, which is not a small amount.

"And after I get out, I can rely on my current abilities to see if there is a chance to steal the power of incense and faith of these gods in the north." Zhang Chen's eyes flashed with a gleam. With his invisibility talisman, the gods under Yangshen could not stop him from stealing their faith. He could take all the power of incense in the north in one go.

After making a plan in his mind, Zhang Chen focused his attention on the alchemy furnace and refined it day and night, striving to refine the furnace as soon as possible so that he could leave the underground space.

Time passed quickly. Half a month later, as his mana was exhausted again, Zhang Chen opened his eyes and looked at the alchemy furnace in front of him: "It's still a little short of the right temperature. Even with the active cooperation of the innate restrictions, my mana is still too little. After such a long time, I have only been able to refine two innate restrictions. Moreover, the restrictions that follow are becoming more and more difficult to refine. If I want to refine them completely, it will take at least ten or eight years."

Zhang Chen stood in front of the Bagua furnace with a serious look in his eyes. He didn't have that much time to stay here.

"The main reason is that my magic power is weak now. It is a bit difficult to use five hundred years of magic power to refine the innate spiritual treasure. The reason why I was able to refine the Mirror of Heaven and Earth smoothly was because I mastered the refining formula of the Mirror of Heaven and Earth. Now it is really difficult to refine it solely by magic power." After Zhang Chen muttered to himself, he really thought of a way. He took out a glass bottle from his arms, looked at the four golden pills in the bottle, and a hint of hesitation appeared in his eyes.

There is no doubt that the four golden pills are extremely precious, but the alchemy furnace in front of him is also not an ordinary thing. It is totally worth it to use a golden pill to replenish the magic power to help himself refine the Bagua furnace.

If I leave the Bagua furnace here and go away alone, who knows what will happen? If someone picks up the Bagua furnace, I will suffer a great loss.

Zhang Chen poured out a golden elixir and put it into his mouth. The next moment, a tremendous vitality burst out and transformed into huge magic power that raged in Zhang Chen's body.

"The main function of this golden elixir is to recover from injuries. This kind of vitality is rare in the world. I'm afraid it has reached the level of bringing the dead back to life." Zhang Chen felt the tremendous power. The magic power in his body continued to expand, like a ball blown into gas, which was about to blow Zhang Chen apart.

Zhang Chen quickly pressed the alchemy furnace with both hands and poured a vast amount of magic power into the furnace. Under the infusion of huge magic power, the alchemy furnace actually lit up with a hint of mysterious luster, and countless runes and lines on it began to revive, and a mysterious luster began to flicker.

Thirty days passed, and when the power of the golden elixir in Zhang Chen's body was exhausted, he withdrew his hands and looked at the alchemy furnace in front of him: "You only refined twenty-four innate restrictions? I can barely control this alchemy furnace, but I'm still a long way from controlling it."

Zhang Chen stroked the alchemy furnace, pondered for a moment, then took out a golden pill, tilted his head back and swallowed it again.

Because the alchemy furnace was too heavy, he only practiced twenty-four innate restrictions. Perhaps he could control the alchemy furnace, but it was still extremely difficult to carry the alchemy furnace with him for a long time.

Although the golden elixir is good, Zhang Chen feels that as he masters the power of the Wood Element, he will be able to cultivate elixirs and use them in the elixir furnace to make elixirs. This is the true use of the Wood Element.

You have the power of the Wood Element in your hands, so do you still lack elixirs?
Since there is an endless supply of elixirs, would refining pills still be difficult?

Zhang Chen used his magic power to continuously refine the alchemy furnace. After another month, Zhang Chen stopped and said, "As expected, the more restrictions are refined, the harder it is to refine them. This time, I swallowed a golden elixir and only refined twelve innate restrictions. Now I have mastered thirty-six innate restrictions, and there are only twelve innate restrictions left that I have not refined."

There were still two golden elixirs left. Zhang Chen estimated that if he swallowed another one, it would be difficult to refine the twelve innate restrictions. If he was asked to swallow two, he would be reluctant to do so.

That golden elixir has the power to bring the dead back to life. If you ask him to waste it all and use it to refine the elixir furnace, it would be a waste of talent.

"Forget it, mastering thirty-six innate restrictions is enough." Zhang Chen waved lightly at the alchemy furnace, and saw the alchemy furnace vibrate violently. In a moment, it turned into the size of an ordinary teapot, floating in Zhang Chen's palm, and was grabbed in Zhang Chen's hand.

Zhang Chen lifted the alchemy furnace in front of him and looked at it. He saw that the furnace was small and exquisite, arranged according to the rules of the Zhoutian, and seemed to have a mysterious rhythm of its own.

However, his cultivation was too shallow, so he could not see the specific mystery. He only felt that the alchemy furnace was extraordinary, with an ingenious structure and its own rhythm.

Zhang Chen swallowed the alchemy furnace into the Basher space, and looked towards the ruins of the palace in front of him: "I wonder if Xu Erniu left any clues for me." He felt that Xu Erniu must hate him so much that she even wanted to cut him into pieces, otherwise why would she write so many whys?
"Maybe I can find the innate peacock. The innate peacock may have clues to Xu Erniu's whereabouts, but where should I look for the innate peacock? According to Xie Lingyun, there was an almighty ancestor of the demon clan who was good at using five-colored light. He held back two artifacts in Kyoto, which gave the demon clan the opportunity to cross the Great Wall of Bones. I wonder if that ancestor of the demon clan has any relationship with the innate peacock." Zhang Chen wanted to use the soul mark to verify it, but he was afraid that the other party was really the innate peacock and would lock his position at that time, then he would be doomed.

This is not the ancient times. I have family and friends here. If I am targeted by the innate peacock, the other party can easily use my family and friends to threaten me. Should I surrender or not?

Zhang Chen had no doubt that the old man was cruel and ruthless.

"I have to go and find out in person. I'd better not use the marks to sense it." Zhang Chen muttered and began to wander in the ruined buildings. He scanned the ruins in front of him to see if he could find any loopholes.

Before, he only used the earth element authority to clear the ruins. Now he wanted to use the wood element authority to see if there was any strange wood in the ruins. In this era, any object with mysterious power was extremely precious.

Zhang Chen walked through the ruins. Most of the wood on the ground had rotted away. When he reached the ruins where the ancestor was, Zhang Chen stopped and looked at the collapsed building and the broken house. His eyes widened: "As expected of an existence in the realm of fruition. I was shortsighted back then. I didn't realize the wonder in the ancestor's house."

Zhang Chen picked up a broken piece of beam from the ancestor's house, held it in his hand and looked at it. He saw that the piece of wood was like steel, three times heavier than steel. It had stood for countless years and was still immortal. It was really peculiar.

Although he did not know the origin of this material, he was able to identify its efficacy because he had mastered the authority of the Wood Element.

"This wood has the power to nourish the soul! After it is lit, it can nourish the spirit, nourish the essence, drive away external demons, and cleanse the mind. It is the best auxiliary material for spiritual practice." Zhang Chen knocked on the wood block, and it actually emitted a steel sound of "thump thump thump". Looking at the wood block that collapsed to the ground, he thought to himself: "The master is worthy of being the master, what a great man."

As Zhang Chen thought about it, he saw countless pieces of wood on the ground twisted like mud, and turned into pieces of handicrafts that looked like warm fragrance. Then they were swallowed by Zhang Chen and stored in the Basher space.

This item is also very useful for Zhang Chen to practice magic power, not to mention that if his younger brothers and sisters practice the way of spirit and soul in the future, they will also need this item.

Until the last piece of dead wood, it looked like a stool leg and had not changed at all, and was held in Zhang Chen's hand.

Zhang Chen stroked that leg of the stool and used his Wood Element Authority to sense it. He saw that there were still mysterious veins flowing inside the leg of the stool, but it had lost all its vitality.

"This is a completely dead branch. It is different from the previous branch of the Tongtian Jianmu. The branch of the Tongtian Jianmu contains amazing vitality, while the dead branch in front of me is completely dead." Zhang Chen muttered, "I wonder if my Wood Element Authority can revive it."

To revive a living branch and to revive a completely dead branch are two different things.

"I have mastered the Great Way of Wood, so there shouldn't be any problem, right?" Zhang Chen had a flash of uncertainty in his mind, then he held the stool leg in his hand and said, "Command, revive!"

"Fuck, do you want to go to heaven? Although you have mastered the authority of the Wood Element, you do not control the path of life. This piece of dead wood is already dead, and you actually want to revive it? Why don't you want to go to heaven?" After seeing Zhang Chen's actions, the Great Freedom Demon couldn't help but sneer, and his voice was full of mockery.

"No way?" Zhang Chen ignored the ridicule of the Great Freedom Demon, and held the branch in his hand alone, with a hint of disappointment in his eyes. Just when he was about to give up, he suddenly had an inexplicable feeling in his heart, and then a trace of green air flow was separated from the wood power in his body, flowing along Zhang Chen's palm into the stool leg in his hand.

The next moment, a divine light flashed on the stool leg, and then tender branches burst out from the stool leg. Then, tender buds grew on the stool leg in front of me. The stool leg was actually alive.

"This is impossible! This is absolutely impossible!" Seeing this scene, the Great Freedom Demon was stunned. He stood there muttering to himself as if he was in a dream, his voice full of shock: "I am dreaming! I must be in a dream! Even if I have the power of the Wood Element, I can't do this, right?"
