I picked up skill fragments in the demon world

#295 - deprivation

Gu Mingyue glanced at the sword in his hand, a look of regret appearing in his eyes, because the power of filth on this sword was rapidly dissipating. In two or three days, it would transform back into an ordinary iron sword.

So he threw the iron sword back to Zhang Chen, having already made a decision in his heart: "This kid clearly had a plan in secret, otherwise, how could he have borrowed the power of the Surveillance Department to specifically break Zhang Xiaohua's protective divine power? This kid has ulterior motives, truly a wolf in sheep's clothing."

After finding out the root cause, Gu Mingyue lost interest in Zhang Chen and turned to leave directly.

If it weren't for this kid's connection with Xie Lingyun, and him being somewhat useful to the Yellow Dawn Temple, he would have already suppressed this audacious insect who dared to ruin his plans.

Gu Mingyue came and went in a hurry, leaving Zhang Chen standing in the courtyard, looking at the sword in his hand without speaking.

"What does that old guy mean?" Cheng Yu walked out of the house at this time and asked.

"Cultivate well in the future, and strive to achieve enlightenment as soon as possible!" Zhang Chen didn't answer the little bean sprout's words, but meaningfully patted the little bean sprout's head: "If we had the strength of the Yang God realm now, why would we suffer this humiliation here?"

Zhang Chen turned and returned to the house, quietly infiltrating the ground, continuing to devour the incense and faith of the Taoist temple, venting all his resentment on the incense and faith. The anger he suffered in the Taoist temple must be compensated for.

On the third day, Liu Feng walked out of the small building with a gloomy face, and Zhang Chen in the underground also quickly emerged from the soil.

Now Zhang Chen is constantly using water control techniques to sense the entire small courtyard. The entire small courtyard is filled with water vapor. If someone walks in, it will definitely stir the water vapor and alarm Zhang Chen underground.

"Where is Zhang Chen?" Liu Feng stood in the courtyard and asked.

Zhang Chen walked out of the house, came to Liu Feng, and respectfully saluted Liu Feng: "Disciple greets the Abbot."

"Ancestor Gu Mingyue has ordered that you severely injured a fellow disciple in the martial arts competition, causing Chu Mingyue to become a cripple. You have no martial virtue, your character is flawed, and you are not suitable to become a Star God. Therefore, today you are deprived of the reward for being the top winner of the competition, and you are deprived of the qualification to become a Star God."

Zhang Chen was stunned when he heard this, his eyes full of astonishment, never expecting that the Taoist temple would be so ruthless.

He originally thought that even if the Taoist temple wanted to deprive him of the top spot in the competition, it would have to give him compensation, but who knew that Gu Mingyue would be so ruthless?

Zhang Chen clenched his fists in his sleeves, standing in place with a livid face, his eyes looking at his toes without speaking.

"Chu Mingyue has become a eunuch, which is a lifelong injury to him. Moreover, you almost hurt the Little Prince in the competition. Although the Prince's Mansion has not questioned you, we must always give them an attitude. You should be glad that you are still alive. If it weren't for Commander Xie's consideration, you would probably have been tied up and handed over to the Pingbian Prince's Mansion for disposal." Liu Feng looked at Zhang Chen, his expression neither warm nor cold.

Zhang Chen took a deep breath when he heard this, hating that he couldn't tear Liu Feng's face apart. He used to think that this guy was a good person, but who knew that he would be so unkind, handling things so ruthlessly, not leaving himself any chance at all.

"You must also understand the ancestor's good intentions. After all, we must preach in the territory of the Pingbian Prince. If the Pingbian Prince yawns, our local Yellow Sky Taoists will tremble three times. Don't you think about it, if we offend the Pingbian Prince's Mansion, where will our incense power come from? Without incense power, where will the divine position come from? Where will the extraordinary power come from?" Liu Feng began to act as a peacemaker at this time, his face softened, comforting Zhang Chen:

"Zhang Chen, you must understand the difficulties of the Taoist temple. The Taoist temple has a large family and a large business, so it must take care of all aspects and take care of everything. Personal honor and disgrace and interests are not worth mentioning in the face of the general trend of the Taoist temple."

Hearing Liu Feng's words, Zhang Chen suppressed the anger in his heart, raised his head with a fake smile, and said very obediently and sensibly: "Disciple understands."

His Dharma Eyes could see that, along with Liu Feng conveying the decree, the aura belonging to the Star God above his head was stripped away and re-entered the Yellow Dawn Temple.

"The Star God's aura belongs to the Taoist temple, not my own fundamental aura. Someone else's words can strip it away. This feeling is really bad, but we'll see! If I don't mess up your Conferred God Ceremony, I'll write my Zhang character backwards," Zhang Chen secretly cursed in his heart.

Seeing that Zhang Chen was still 'sensible', Liu Feng nodded with satisfaction, patted Zhang Chen on the shoulder and said: "I know your identity and background. For people like you who have climbed up from the bottom, being able to eat your fill is already the greatest luck. Don't covet those things that don't belong to you in the first place. Don't even look at them! Otherwise, it will only make you more painful."

After Liu Feng finished speaking, he turned and left, leaving Zhang Chen standing in the courtyard, gnashing his teeth with hatred. Then he took a deep breath, a cold look appearing in his eyes: "Okay, okay, you're playing like this, right? Then don't blame me for being ruthless. Next, I'll have to see if your Yellow Dawn Temple and the Pingbian Prince's Mansion turn against each other or not."

Zhang Chen didn't even have the mind to devour incense at this time, but instead used infiltration techniques to sneak out of the Yellow Dawn Temple all the way, hiding and hiding, and came to the Eight Trigrams Furnace, asking the guards hiding in the mountains to send a message to Xie Lingyun, and then he went to check the Eight Trigrams Furnace himself.

The flames in the Eight Trigrams Furnace were raging, and the restrictions on the small ball had collapsed by three layers, and the collapsed restrictions were also getting faster and faster, but Zhang Chen was still somewhat dissatisfied, feeling that it was too slow, and the God-Slaying Whip could not be refined, which made him a little anxious.

The Northern Territory is now a powder keg, and it seems that it could explode at any time, which makes him feel uneasy. If the war spreads to this place, he will suffer a great loss.

Fox Fairy Nannan sat cross-legged in the mountain cave, bored, and after seeing Zhang Chen coming, she opened her eyes and glanced at him, then continued to cultivate.

With the improvement of the Beast Taming Technique, the strength that Fox Fairy Nannan can exert is also getting stronger and stronger. Through her own improvement in the past few days, she judged that this kid Zhang Chen's strength should have improved again.

"Is this kid a monster? Others may not improve after cultivating for several years or even more than ten years, but this kid has actually increased his strength and broken through in just a few months. He is really a monster," Fox Fairy Nannan secretly cursed.

Just as Fox Fairy Nannan was muttering, Xie Lingyun, dressed in white and disguised as a man, arrived.

Xie Lingyun came in person, followed by hundreds of guards in iron armor.

"You called me here in a hurry again, is there something wrong?" Xie Lingyun came to Zhang Chen and looked at Zhang Chen with a smile.

"I got a treasure and want to dedicate it to elder sister." Zhang Chen took out the Yellow Spring Water that he had prepared earlier from his arms and handed it to Xie Lingyun: "Elder sister has helped me a lot. I originally wanted to find some gold and silver treasures to repay elder sister, but after thinking about it, elder sister doesn't lack those vulgar things, so I found this thing and hope elder sister won't dislike it."

Xie Lingyun took the jade bottle with a surprised expression and asked, "What is this? Why so mysterious?"

Then she unplugged the stopper. The next moment, Xie Lingyun's expression changed drastically, and she couldn't help but exclaim in disbelief, "Water of the Yellow Springs! ! ! This is Water of the Yellow Springs! ! !"

"Water of the Yellow Springs? ? ?" Fox Fairy Nannan, who was meditating and cultivating in the cave, suddenly opened her eyes and stood up excitedly, wanting to rush out. However, she stopped and just pricked up her ears to listen to the movements outside. She heard Zhang Chen say:

"That's right, it's Water of the Yellow Springs. You have good eyes, Sister."

Xie Lingyun quickly put the stopper back on, staring at Zhang Chen with disbelief in her eyes, "Where did you get this treasure from?"

Then she continued, "This thing is really precious, you should keep it for yourself. I can't accept it."

As she spoke, Xie Lingyun pushed the Water of the Yellow Springs over. Although her eyes were full of reluctance, she ultimately overcame the greed in her heart.

Zhang Chen was very pleased to see this. He had not misjudged her. Xie Lingyun was indeed a potential stock worth befriending and investing in.

"Sister, please don't decline. I still have this treasure myself. I had already set aside a portion in advance, enough for my own use!" Zhang Chen shook his head and did not accept the Water of the Yellow Springs. Instead, he said with a smile:

"You can use this bottle of Water of the Yellow Springs first, Sister. If you run out, be sure to tell me. We don't lack anything else, but we have plenty of this Water of the Yellow Springs, enough for our own people to use."

Upon hearing this, Xie Lingyun no longer declined, because this item was also a very valuable resource for her. It could be said that with the help of the Water of the Yellow Springs, her cultivation speed would be at least twenty times faster.

She accepted the treasure with peace of mind, secretly resolving to find an opportunity to repay Zhang Chen in the future.

She did not ask Zhang Chen where he got the Water of the Yellow Springs from. Such things could not be asked. Even if the two had a good relationship, she couldn't ask. Asking would be equivalent to a falling out.

"With this thing, I will definitely transcend the tribulation and enter the Yang God realm within three years." Xie Lingyun carefully put away the Water of the Yellow Springs, her voice full of joy.

The Yang God realm, ah, that was the top combat power in the world today. Even in the Surveillance Division, one could be a regional commander.

Zhang Chen smiled and said, "Then I will congratulate you in advance, Sister. When you attain the Yang God, I will cling to your coattails."

As he spoke, Zhang Chen looked at Xie Lingyun's legs. Those legs were slender and straight, like two chopsticks, making people drool.

Xie Lingyun smiled and exchanged a few more words with Zhang Chen before seeing Zhang Chen change the subject, "I have something I need you to do for me."

"What is it?" Xie Lingyun patted her chest and said, "Just tell me, I will handle it clearly for you."

"Spread the news in the city, be sure to get the news to Pingbian Manor, saying that in the back courtyard of the Yellow Dawn Temple, there is a secret room, and a Coffin of the Evergreen Tree is likely hidden in the secret room." Zhang Chen instructed.

Xie Lingyun was stunned when she heard this, and looked at Zhang Chen in surprise, seeming a little puzzled.

"There is a secret room in the Yellow Dawn Temple, and there is a big secret in the secret room." Zhang Chen explained, "That secret room is shrouded in a mysterious force, and even I can't get close to investigate."

"Is there really a Coffin of the Evergreen Tree?" Xie Lingyun asked, this was the focus of her attention.

"I don't know!" Zhang Chen shook his head.

Xie Lingyun fell into deep thought when she heard this, and after a long time, she said, "The Grand Supervisor and the Coffin of the Evergreen Tree disappeared in the Northern Territory. People from all sides are secretly investigating, and they are about to turn the entire land over, but they still haven't noticed any trace. According to what you said, I think the Coffin of the Evergreen Tree may really have been obtained by the Yellow Sky Sect and hidden under that secret room."

Zhang Chen didn't know what to say at this time. He just wanted to provoke a conflict between the Yellow Dawn Temple and Pingbian Manor. He hoped that he wouldn't accidentally help the other party.

"What does Sister mean?" Zhang Chen asked.

"The Yellow Sky Sect has many experts, and Pingbian Manor is also helping them. It would be a thankless task for our Surveillance Division to deal with them. It's better to pass the news out and let Pingbian Manor come forward and let the Yellow Sky Sect fight among themselves." Xie Lingyun's eyes were full of calculating light: "Even if the Yellow Dawn Temple flatters Pingbian Manor, when it comes to something like the Coffin of the Evergreen Tree that can make people immortal, they will definitely not take it out. If the two fight among themselves, we may have a chance."

Xie Lingyun lost her inner demons, but she is just kind at heart, not a simpleton.

"Are you sure there really is that secret room shrouded in mysterious power under the Yellow Dawn Temple?" Xie Lingyun repeated the question to confirm.

"Of course I'm sure and certain. How dare I talk nonsense about something that doesn't exist?" Zhang Chen said.

"I can send the spies of the Surveillance Division to secretly investigate." Xie Lingyun said thoughtfully.

The two talked for a while, and Xie Lingyun turned and left in a hurry. Seeing Xie Lingyun go away, Zhang Chen was about to transform into a vampire bat and fly away, but at this time, Fox Fairy Nannan rushed out of the cave and directly hugged Zhang Chen's arm: "Master ~"

Her voice was delicate and charming, calling Zhang Chen's kidneys to tremble, almost spurting out.

"What are you doing! What do you want, you fox spirit? Can you speak properly!" Zhang Chen pushed Fox Fairy Nannan away with a look of disgust.

Although this fox spirit has fair skin, a beautiful appearance, and long legs, like Diao Chan in the world, this is after all his own skill? Can he fuck himself? Just kidding! ! !

"You see me guarding the Eight Trigrams Furnace here all day long, and I have to take the time to help you make gunpowder. I have worked hard even if I have not made any contributions, right?" Fox Fairy Nannan said delicately, looking at Zhang Chen pitifully with a pair of eyes full of charm and seduction.

"So what?" Zhang Chen asked.

Fox Fairy Nannan did not answer Zhang Chen's words, but continued: "The most important thing is that your cultivation has improved too quickly, Master. At this rate, Little Fox will soon be dragging you down and become a useless waste. How will Little Fox be able to serve you and run errands for you then?"

"Get to the point!" Zhang Chen glared at Fox Fairy Nannan. This fox spirit was too cunning, going around in circles to find a lot of reasons.

"I just heard that you have Water of the Yellow Springs, and you can't use it all? Why don't you reward Nannan with a little? Nannan will definitely be loyal to you in the future. If you tell me to beat a dog, I will never chase a chicken." Fox Fairy Nannan raised her finger and swore.

Zhang Chen looked at Fox Fairy Nannan with a pair of eyes, circled her around, and then turned his eyes: "Want Water of the Yellow Springs? It's not impossible, but you have to do something for me."

Zhang Chen thought of an undercover agent, and asked her to go to Zhang Xiaohua's place as an undercover agent.
