I picked up skill fragments in the demon world.

Chapter 693 Tree Coffin News
"Gu Mingyue has obtained the title of the god of the Yangtze River. I'm afraid Huang Tiandao's family fortune will be emptied." Zhang Chen looked into the distance. As the land of Jinling City closed, the continuous dark clouds finally dissipated, and Jinling City welcomed the long-lost sun.

The big sun shines on my face, and the whole mountain and river welcomes the long-awaited sunny day. A big rainbow spans the entire sky.

"It's a pity that some people can see the rainbow, but some people will never see it again." Zhang Chen stroked the alchemy furnace and couldn't help but sigh softly.

At this time, a buzzing sound came from the alchemy furnace. Zhang Chen hurriedly activated the mantra and then withdrew the Sun's True Fire. The next moment, he saw a trace of medicinal fragrance bursting out of the alchemy furnace. Zhang Chen opened the alchemy furnace and took a look. His eyes suddenly lit up, and he saw seven pills shining with a white luster in the furnace. They flew out of the furnace and were about to turn into streams of light and disappear into the distance.

However, Zhang Chen had already used the water control technique to form a shield, blocking the void within a hundred meters. The seven marble-sized pills were detained by the water flow and held in Zhang Chen's hands.

Zhang Chen lowered his head to look at the elixir in his hand, with a thoughtful look in his eyes. The elixir in his hand seemed to be made of white jade, with mysterious aura inside, and runes looming on the white jade wall. If ordinary people saw it, they would only think it was a beautiful jade, and would never regard it as an elixir.

"It's much better than the pill Shen Ling gave me. There's no comparison. One is in heaven, and the other is on earth." Zhang Chen stroked the pill in his hand with a hint of curiosity in his eyes. Then he took out the prepared jade bottle and carefully put the Eight Treasures Locking Heart Pill into the bottle.

Then Zhang Chen waved his hand, and the alchemy furnace automatically flew up and landed in Zhang Chen's hands. Zhang Chen felt that his alchemy furnace seemed to have undergone some mysterious changes. He couldn't tell whether the change was good or bad, but he felt that the alchemy furnace had changed from a simple magic weapon for refining alchemy to a treasure that could be used to suppress the enemy.

Zhang Chen stroked the furnace for a while, then put it away: "Now that the Xiantian Water God has retreated, Gu Mingyue has broken through the eleventh level, and the entire Jinling City is completely controlled by Huang Tiandao, everything will return to normal. I should also go down the mountain to find a yard. It's not good to always live in the mountains.

He had too many secrets. Even if he didn't bring the three little ones and his stepmother down the mountain, he would have to build a house at the foot of the mountain to live in.

Zhang Chen had just returned to Linglong Tower when he realized that the atmosphere in the mountain was not right. At this time, people gathered in groups of three or four, secretly discussing all kinds of gossip.

Zhang Chen listened for a while before he heard that Shen Ling and Zhang Gaoqiu were both driven down the mountain, and the little princess Chai Wenji also went down the mountain with them.

"Brother Zhang!"

A call came from afar, and Tu Shan Qing came from afar and greeted Zhang Chen.

Zhang Chen looked at Tushan Qing and saw that there was an inexplicable energy flowing around Tushan Qing's body, as if every move he made had an impact on the material world. It was obvious that his cultivation had made great progress and the gain was extraordinary.

"I'm leaving!" Tu Shanqing pulled Zhang Chen aside and said goodbye in a low voice.

"Leaving? Where are you going?" Zhang Chen asked.

Tu Shanqing said helplessly, "It was Chai Wenji who did it. Zhang Gaoqiu was driven down the mountain, and of course Chai Wenji had to follow him down the mountain. The two decided to return to Kyoto. But the journey to Kyoto is thousands of miles long, and there are countless difficulties and obstacles along the way. Chai Wenji issued a call to the members of the royal bloodline. Although I have been out for five generations, I have no choice but to obey the call."

Zhang Chen looked Tushan Qing up and down. He felt that Tushan Qing was not the kind of person who would obediently follow the imperial edict. If he obeyed the imperial edict of the little princess Chai Wenji, maybe there was something else going on?
Given this guy's personality of not doing anything without benefits, how could he obey the order of the little princess Chai Wenji?
Tu Shanqing looked around, then lowered his voice and said, "I heard that in the past, the immortal tree coffin that could prolong life was secretly transported from the goddess' tomb in the north to Jinling City. The little princess Chai Wenji responded to the royal call and prepared people to secretly guard it..."

Chai Chuanxin said this, looked him up and down, then lowered his voice and said, "What do you think? Do you want to do something big? That is a treasure that can prolong life. Since the establishment of the Dasheng Dynasty, it is the first time that a treasure that can prolong life has appeared. If we can intercept the coffin, I don't know how great our fortune will be."

"The Longevity Tree Coffin has arrived in Jiangnan?" Zhang Chen looked surprised. In the past, after the Longevity Tree Coffin was taken away by the old eunuch Dugu Qiu, its whereabouts had been unknown. Even if Zhang Chen secretly used the Treasure Mirror of Heaven and Earth to illuminate it, he could not find any trace of it. He thought that the Longevity Tree Coffin had been taken to Kyoto by Dugu Qiu, but he didn't expect that it was still on the way to transportation.

"Are you sure about this? It's been such a long time, and Dugu Qiu hasn't transported the Longevity Tree Coffin to Kyoto yet?" Zhang Chen couldn't believe it.

"What do you know, kid? The Longevity Tree Coffin is a mysterious treasure. Even the Yangshen Immortal cannot lift it. It can only be transported to Kyoto bit by bit. It is normal that it can reach Jinling City now." Tu Shanqing said with a smile: "No matter whether it is real or not, no matter whether there is a date, it is always right to hit it first."

"I won't interfere. If you want the tree coffin, you can find a way to get it yourself." Zhang Chen rejected Tushan Qing's invitation. If he had not developed the skill of taking away life, Zhang Chen might still be greedy for the Longevity Tree Coffin. But now that Zhang Chen has obtained the means to take away the vitality of plants, the Longevity Tree Coffin is useless to him.

Of course, if he could seize it and convert it into points, it would be a huge profit. But for Zhang Chen, the effort and reward were not proportional. Zhang Chen now just wanted to hide and digest the benefits he got in the Tomb of the Water God, instead of jumping around everywhere. I don't know how many people were watching the Longevity Tree Coffin, why would Zhang Chen show up randomly?
Tu Shanqing looked disappointed when he saw this, but he didn't try to persuade him any further.

After the two of them talked for a while, Tu Shanqing said goodbye with a smile and disappeared among the mountains.

Watching Tushan Qing's receding back, Zhang Chen felt that this vixen would surely suffer a great loss. You know, that was a treasure that could prolong one's life. Who knows how much trouble it would cause. In the Dasheng Dynasty, countless dignitaries were eyeing the Longevity Tree Coffin. It would not be so easy for Tushan Qing to fish in troubled waters.

"I hope this guy can be successful. Then I will hit him from behind with a club..." Zhang Chen thought secretly in his heart. It was not the first time that he hit Tu Shan Qing from behind with a club.

Zhang Chen came all the way to the Linglong Tower, and spent half a day comprehending the mysterious scroll before rushing to the back mountain. Before he could reach the back mountain, he saw the fox fairy Nannan waiting halfway. "Recently, there was a great chaos at the foot of the mountain, and many dignitaries fled. I took the opportunity to select a courtyard. I have already bought the courtyard you wanted for you." The fox fairy Nannan said.

"How much did it cost?" Zhang Chen asked.

Fox Fairy Nannan stretched out her hand and said, "Five hundred thousand taels! I bought a large manor covering an area of ​​thirty acres."

"Where did you get the money?" Zhang Chen was stunned.

"It was left behind by Zhang Xiaohua." said the fox fairy Nannan.

"How's its concealment?" Zhang Chen asked.

"I used my magic to confuse a mortal and bought it in his name." said the fox fairy Nannan.

Zhang Chen pondered for a moment after hearing this, then shook his head: "It's not very appropriate. After all, there are tricks in this matter. Tomorrow, I will use Blood God to control two cultivators of Huang Tian Dao, and then you will transfer the property to their names. In this way, using the name of Huang Tian Dao to hide and cover up is the real foolproof plan."

"Okay!" Fox Fairy Nannan said, "Do you want to come with me down the mountain to see the house?"

Zhang Chen nodded upon hearing this, and followed the fox fairy girl down the mountain. He used the escape technique to arrive at Jinling City, and saw that the chaotic order in Jinling City had been initially restored, with men wearing yellow scarves patrolling the streets.

"The yard I bought was a villa of the Shen family. After the Shen family was destroyed, their property was plundered by Huang Tiandao, and then became Huang Tiandao's property, and was put up for sale in the market by Huang Tiandao." The fox fairy Nannan explained the origin of the property to Zhang Chen as they walked.

"It turns out that I am still blessed by the Shen family." Zhang Chen said in surprise.

We walked all the way to the mansion, which was indeed a very, very large mansion covering an area of ​​30 acres, no worse than the royal palaces of later generations.

The courtyard is equipped with rockery and lakes, and various buildings are arranged according to the Feng Shui pattern, which makes it look extraordinary and rich.

It is planted with various rare flowers and plants, as well as various strange stones collected from all over the world, which looks very unusual.

Zhang Chen looked around and felt very satisfied. He then said to Fox Fairy Nannan, "I want to control two Blood God Sons. Do you have a suitable target? I want someone from Huang Tiandao!"

Zhang Chen didn't want to kill innocent people, and he didn't have any psychological burden in his heart to kill Huang Tiandao's people. To him, Huang Tiandao was his opponent, and the two sides would fight sooner or later.

"There are two!" said the fox fairy Nannan.

Zhang Chen smiled when he heard this: "Lead the way."

He did not ask what level of cultivation the other party had. As a smart fox, the fox fairy Nannan certainly knew what kind of opponent to introduce to him.

Besides, he now possesses the eleventh-level skills. No matter how high the opponent’s cultivation is, can it be higher than his?

The person that the fox fairy Nannan introduced to Zhang Chen was a middle-level cultivator in the Huangtian Dao. He was only at the seventh level of cultivation and had no power to resist Zhang Chen. He was possessed by the Blood God Son as soon as they met.

"I have now placed my own people in Huang Tiandao. If there is any disturbance in Huang Tiandao in the future, I can sense it in advance and make various arrangements." Zhang Chen thought to himself. For him, it is also necessary to make arrangements in advance.

Zhang Chen stayed in the courtyard that night and chose a master bedroom. However, the entire yard was empty, and with Zhang Chen living alone, it seemed a bit deserted.

“After Huang Tiandao’s two puppets complete the handover procedures tomorrow, I will ask them to buy some guards, recruit some experts, and decorate the yard.” Zhang Chen was thinking about tomorrow’s events.
