I picked up skill fragments in the demon world.

Chapter 483 The building is empty
Zhang Chen used the water escape technique to leave and went straight to Huangli Temple. He always felt that Huangli Temple was not that simple, so he wanted to see if he could defeat it.

After all, my Qigong technique is stuck at the second level, and I still haven’t found the follow-up technique to advance to the third level.

Zhang Chen's water escape technique was very fast. In just half a day, he had crossed two hundred miles and arrived at the border of Huangli Temple.

The river water overflowed the foot of the mountain, but did not submerge Huangli Temple.

Zhang Chen did not rush into Huangli Temple rashly, but hid in the water, using the water vapor to sense the energy inside Huangli Temple. After a moment, Zhang Chen jumped out of the water and looked in the direction of Huangli Temple with a look of surprise: "No one? How could there be no one in Huangli Temple?"

Zhang Chen's eyes were full of confusion. He used the water vapor to sense that there was indeed no one in Huangli Temple.

However, Zhang Chen did not rush out rashly, but carefully used the escape technique to lurk in the mud. The next moment, he appeared in the Taoist temple above. After wandering around under the mud of the Taoist temple, he found that the entire Taoist temple was dead silent, without a single person in sight.

"This shouldn't be the case!" Zhang Chen appeared in the Taoist temple square in a flash. Looking at the empty hall, his eyes were full of confusion: "Where did the monk from Huangli Temple go? Did he go down the mountain?"

Zhang Chen walked through the palace at a leisurely pace and saw various objects scattered on the ground, an overturned altar, and various furnishings in a mess on the ground. It was obvious that everyone in Huangli Temple left in a hurry.

"Where did the monk from Huangli Temple go?" Zhang Chen looked up and down at the entire palace, with a golden light flashing in his eyes. He saw that the divine aura that used to flow over the Taoist temple had disappeared.

"I wonder if the Pool of Faith is still there." Zhang Chen was curious, so he used his escape technique to sneak underground and came all the way to the Pool of Faith. As expected, he saw that the Pool of Faith was empty and there was no object inside. The entire secret room had been emptied.

"It's been moved out completely." Zhang Chen did not use any secret techniques this time. Instead, he walked slowly in the palace, opened his Dharma eyes and looked around to see if Huang Tiandao had any treasures hidden in the Taoist temple that he could not take away.

After Zhang Chen passed through three palaces, he suddenly heard footsteps, which made Zhang Chen's heart move: "Is there someone?"

However, the opponent's aura was only about the fourth level, which was not worth Zhang Chen's dodging. He was just about to find someone to ask about Huang Liguan's changes, so he walked towards the footsteps.

"Brother Zhang, it's you." At this time a shout was heard, and Li Donglai appeared in front of Zhang Chen.

"Brother Li, it's you!" Zhang Chen also saw Li Donglai and was stunned. Thinking back to when Li Donglai awakened his bloodline, his innate ability of steel and iron bones left a deep impression on Zhang Chen.

However, Li Donglai's bloodline ability was upgraded to the fourth level in just a few years, which was beyond Zhang Chen's expectations. This kid is quite lucky and must have had a great opportunity recently.

"Brother Zhang, why are you here? Aren't you leaving with Huang Tiandao's followers?" Li Donglai's eyes were full of astonishment.

"Gu Mingyue, the great celestial master of Huang Tiandao, has colluded with the Pingbian Palace and sold me to the Pingbian Palace." Zhang Chen's voice was full of sighs: "Mr. Wuliu wanted to take my fate and use the power of my fate to help Zhang Xiaohua transform, but the price is my life!"

Li Donglai's face turned grim upon hearing this: "Lawless! Absolutely lawless! Ever since the Great Sage Master went into seclusion, the Huang Tian Dao is no longer the Huang Tian Dao of the past. Don't be afraid. There are twelve Heavenly Masters in the Huang Tian Dao, and Gu Mingyue alone cannot stir up any trouble. When you go to the headquarters in the future and join the Wu Changming Heavenly Master, you will definitely have a chance to get back at that time."

Zhang Chen smiled bitterly. Wu Changming could hardly protect himself now, so how could he have the energy to take care of himself?

"Don't worry, I have already contacted another Heavenly Master. I will take you to seek refuge with him when the time comes. Why should we be afraid of Gu Mingyue? Do you really think that Gu Mingyue can cover the sky with one hand?" Li Donglai encouraged Zhang Chen.

"Why are you here?" Zhang Chen asked to change the subject.

"I want to see if there are any treasures left here, maybe I can get some from them." Li Donglai said.

Coincidentally, the two of them had the same idea.

"Did you gain anything?" Zhang Chen asked.

Li Donglai shook his head: "No! These guys moved everything away! There was originally a big bell in Huangli Temple. I thought that bell was great, but it's a pity that all the bells were taken away by the monks in Huangli Temple."

"Do you know where the monks from Huangli Temple went?" Zhang Chen asked.

"Huang Tiandao has caused such a big disaster in the north that the court has begun to take action to settle accounts and suppress him. If it weren't for the officials in the court dragging their feet and mediating for Huang Tiandao, Huang Tiandao would have suffered a heavy blow. The major families and officials in the court have been secretly colluding with Huang Tiandao and have been constantly tipping off Huang Tiandao. Huang Tiandao has begun to enter a latent state, and the court has always been unable to muster the strength to encircle and suppress him." Li Donglai lowered his voice and said, "Especially Huang Tiandao's masters have been encircling and suppressing Xie Xuan. The news has already spread. The court was furious after receiving the news. Huang Tiandao will be in big trouble next." Zhang Chen suddenly realized when he heard this. No wonder Huang Tiandao abandoned the major Taoist temples in the open.

"In that case, I will feel a lot more relaxed in the future. I don't have to worry about Gu Mingyue's reckoning." Zhang Chen said.

"Why should we be afraid of him? Although Gu Mingyue is one of the Twelve Heavenly Masters, he cannot cover the sky with one hand. When we become disciples of other Heavenly Masters, there will naturally be someone to take charge of our affairs." Li Donglai said.

At this point, Li Donglai said, "I plan to leave the Northland. Do you want to come with me, brother? If we join forces, we will definitely make a name for ourselves in Huang Tian Dao. As for the Seven Northern Dippers and Six Southern Dippers of Huang Tian Dao, I am not convinced. We may not be inferior to them."

Li Donglai's voice was full of confidence, and Zhang Chen heard what Li Donglai said, knowing that the other party wanted to continue to make a name for himself in Huang Tiandao, so he stopped trying to persuade him. He now just wanted to prolong his life and go to the south to develop. He did not want to have too much contact with Huang Tiandao.

As for the Qigong method, he didn't believe it. There was no other Qigong method except Huang Tiandao.

"I still have things to do, so I'm afraid I can't go with Brother Li." Zhang Chen said to this point, and then said to Li Donglai: "Brother Li's strength has improved greatly, is there any opportunity?"

"Before the fairyland opened up, I swallowed a strange long sword in the fairyland. As a result, my innate power increased, and I have mastered the power to control steel. Now, even if I face a strong Yangshen, I will not be at a disadvantage!" Li Donglai said proudly.

"Can you fight against Yangshen Zhenren? You can't?" Zhang Chen looked Li Donglai up and down. The other party only has a fourth-level bloodline talent. How can he fight against Yangshen Zhenren?

"To be honest, I have mastered the power of steel. Not only can I control all the steel in the world, but I can also turn it into steel bones. Even my internal organs and blood vessels have turned into a body of steel. What Yangshen Zhenren controls is nothing but the thunder and fire of heaven and earth. As long as I don't get trapped by it and fall into a desperate situation, he can't do anything to me." Li Donglai's voice was full of pride, and he saw his palm stretched out, and his entire arm was completely turned into steel bones. Of course, he would not be afraid of thunder and fire.

"This is not ordinary steel." Zhang Chen looked at the other party's steel arm with curiosity.

Li Donglai said proudly: "Fourth-level steel!"

"What's the explanation?" Zhang Chen asked curiously.

Li Donglai scratched his head. "I can't really explain it, but it's magical anyway. Those Yangshen Zhenren can't defeat me without special means. I can now control the power of fourth-level steel. Any magical weapon below the fourth level is nothing but food in front of me."

Looking at the complacent Li Donglai, Zhang Chen felt that this kid's talents and abilities were not limited to this, and he must have other abilities.

"Look at my current abilities. I will definitely stand out in Huang Tian Dao. Do you really not want to follow me? If you follow me, I will protect you in the future and make sure you stand out in Huang Tian Dao. This will make our relationship worthwhile." Li Donglai's voice was full of complacency.

Zhang Chen patted Li Donglai on the shoulder and said, "There are countless strange tricks in this world. Although you have a strong body, you still have to be careful and don't fall into trouble."

Zhang Chen's words were full of seriousness. He felt that with Li Donglai's current temperament, he would suffer a great loss sooner or later.

"Hahaha, don't worry, I will be careful. One day I will climb to the highest position and talk to all the heavenly masters about the truth." Li Donglai said.

Zhang Chen glanced at Li Donglai, and after a moment's hesitation, he took out a large earth magnet from his sleeve: "Since you can devour the power of steel, what do you think of this large earth magnet?"

According to Zhang Chen's analysis of his authority, this Earth Element Magnet is a ninth-level material, between metal and non-metal. Because it was born from the Earth Element Magnet, it can be controlled by Zhang Chen's earth-based authority.

When Li Donglai saw the fist-sized Earth Element Magnet in Zhang Chen's hand, his eyes widened and he stared at the Earth Element Magnet in a daze. His breathing became rapid. "Brother Zhang, where did you get this good thing?"

"I got it from a secret realm." Zhang Chen casually threw the Earth Magnet to Li Donglai, and the Earth Magnet was directly attached to Li Donglai's arm.

Li Donglai's arm was transformed into flesh and blood. He looked at the Earth Element Magnet in his hand carefully, his voice trembling a little: "With this thing, my blood will recover more than ten times faster. It's a pity that there are too few of them. If I could have an Earth Element Magnet of the same size as mine, I might be able to evolve directly to the ninth level of talent."

"The evolution speed is so fast?" Zhang Chen was stunned.

Li Donglai said: "You don't understand this. Theoretically, as long as I can obtain a certain level of iron stone, I can evolve to that level of cultivation. If I can touch the twelfth-level iron stone, I can skip all the steps and upgrade directly."
