I picked up skill fragments in the demon world

#424 - Lunar New Year's eve

Back to the past!

What a great opportunity! If I plan ahead, maybe there will be unexpected gains.

Not to mention planting spiritual herbs in the ancient times, wouldn't I harvest a lot of spiritual herbs by then?

“I can't say much. In case my words affect time and space or cause and effect, leading to the timeline breaking, I'm afraid the timeline will collapse, and I, the Old Ancestor, will also suffer calamity.” The Great自在天魔's voice was full of awe: “Do you know how much karma will be caused if there is a deviation in time and space? Even with my cultivation, I will be scattered and buried in the depths of time and space.”

“Then what about me? Have I changed time and space and cause and effect?” Zhang Chen asked.

Hearing this, the Great自在天魔 sized up Zhang Chen strangely: “You? You are very strange! I have never heard of anyone being able to go back in time against the river of time. You are the only one! You are unique! Since you can go back to the past, there is naturally a cause and effect, so you don't have to be afraid or entangled.”

Zhang Chen sighed softly: “It's a pity I missed the opportunity to plan!”

His voice was filled with a trace of regret, and then he glanced at the boundless sea. The next moment, he used the Water Escape Technique to shuttle through the sea. However, after flying for a little more than half a day, he still couldn't see the coastline. Zhang Chen had to stop and then disappeared in place.

Inside the Taoist temple, Zhang Chen opened his eyes, thinking about everything that happened in the past: “If everything before happened in the past, then the Ascension Pool...? In fact, there is only one Ascension Pool in the world. The Ascension Pool in historical time is the Ascension Pool in the present time.”

“Then can I use the Ascension Pool to find clues to Xu Erniu? Or can I use the Ascension Pool to find out the final outcome of the war back then?” Zhang Chen stood up suddenly, clenching his fists tightly. He had a strange intuition that there must be clues he wanted in the Ascension Pool.

“What happened to Xu Erniu in the end? What about Xiu Liu? Xiu Liu has already entered the realm of 果. He should have a chance to survive from the river of time, right? And that old peacock, with his means of reversing the five elements into chaos, he should be able to survive, right? Did the Longevity Ancestor win the final battle, or did the Innate Peacock win? Or did they die together under the thunder punishment?” Countless thoughts flowed through Zhang Chen's mind, and his heart was in a mess, not knowing what to do.

“I must seize that Ascension Pool!” Zhang Chen secretly made up his mind.

A heavy snow fell overnight, and Zhang Chen sat in front of the stove all night, thinking about all the bad things.

There were many people he was worried about, and even more things to worry about.

The next day, Zhang Chen only felt the crystal core in his body beating gently, and a familiar absolute control entered his heart. The feeling of being in full control once again surged into his heart. The good fortune he had obtained in the ancient times was finally fully grasped at this time.

Then Zhang Chen began to control his Qi and blood, once again showing a listless appearance. He put on his cotton coat and cloak and went outside the yard to sweep the snow.

But after sweeping for a while, Zhang Chen suddenly remembered that he seemed to have mastered the Water Control Technique. He wanted to use the Water Control Technique to control the snow on the ground, but who knew that when the Water Control Technique was activated, the snow on the ground didn't move at all.

“This skill is too rigid. It can only control water if it says it can control water. It can't even control snowflakes at all.” Zhang Chen was very speechless.

There was no way, Zhang Chen could only spend half a day clearing a small path, and then stewed mutton, happily came to the window, basking in the sun by the stove.

They were all supplies from the Pingbian Royal Mansion. Zhang Chen used them without any concept of thrift. Based on the idea that spending one penny of the Pingbian Royal Mansion was equal to weakening the opponent's strength by one point, Zhang Chen happily squandered and wasted all kinds of things, simply lighting two stoves in the house.

Another seven or eight days passed.

Mr. Wu Liu came to the Taoist temple again with a pair of panda eyes, constantly circling around the Taoist temple, mumbling to himself for a long time, and then left with a scratching head and a face full of suspicion about life.

Looking at the receding figure of Mr. Wu Liu, Zhang Chen only felt amused in his heart. Now the energy in his Devouring Space has been filled up again. Now he began to use the energy released by the Ascension Pool to refine the Heaven and Earth Treasure Mirror. As for improving skill levels, Zhang Chen needed too many skill points, so it was better to refine the Heaven and Earth Treasure Mirror first, and then increase his chances of finding the Longevity Tree Coffin.

For him, extending his life was the most urgent thing at the moment. He had to hurry up and do it. The Longevity Tree Coffin was hidden in the Northern Land. He had to find the Longevity Tree Coffin before leaving the Northern Land.

Time passed quickly. A month later, Zhang Chen refined the second layer of Heaven's Forbidden Restriction of the Heaven and Earth Treasure Mirror.

At this time, it was already New Year's Eve. Zhang Chen stood under the eaves of the Taoist temple and calculated that tomorrow was New Year's Eve, which is what people call New Year's Eve.

Zhang Chen stood under the eaves for a long time before coming to the gate, opening the gate and looking at the guards standing guard in the cold wind, and scolded: “Tell Mr. Wu Liu to prepare a few big red lanterns to hang up! Also, prepare some yellow paper for me.”

The guard glanced at Zhang Chen, his armor was covered with frost, and then bowed respectfully to Zhang Chen and quickly disappeared into the cold wind.

Zhang Chen didn't have to wait long before Mr. Wu Liu sent eight big red lanterns and red paper.

Zhang Chen lit the big red lanterns and hung them under the eaves, and then cut the red paper, wrote couplets, and pasted them on the door, feeling that the yard had a bit of New Year's festive atmosphere.

Late at night, Zhang Chen was sitting alone in front of the stove eating hot pot. Outside, the cold wind was howling, and firecrackers sounded from time to time in the cold wind.

Just as Zhang Chen was eating beef alone, a knock sounded outside the house: “Brother Zhang!”

Then the door was pushed open, and Chen Xu walked in with two jars of wine, wrapped in the cold wind.

Chen Xu was wrapped in a large robe, with residual snow hanging on the robe, holding two wine jars in his hand, putting the wine jars in front of the stove, and reaching out to untie his cloak.

“Why are you here?” Zhang Chen asked.

Hearing this, Chen Xu said with a smile: “Isn't it New Year's Eve? I thought you were lonely in the Taoist temple alone, so I came to drink with you.”

After finishing speaking, he sat opposite Zhang Chen, patted the wine jar in front of him, and said with a smile: “Hundreds of years of Huadiao! I specially went to Gou Lan County to buy it.”

Zhang Chen looked at Chen Xu, who was shivering from the cold, and couldn't help but feel a sense of emotion.

Zhang Chen poured a bowl of hot tea for Chen Xu, but Chen Xu held it down: “Let's drink! Clear tea and light water, what's so good about it.”

Zhang Chen was stunned when he heard this, and then nodded: “Okay, let's drink!”

Zhang Chen picked up the wine jar, poured a pot of wine, and filled it for Chen Xu. Chen Xu picked up the wine and said to Zhang Chen: “Brother Zhang, I respect you with this cup!”

Zhang Chen picked up the wine and took a sip, then put down the wine cup, picked up chopsticks and picked up beef, slowly chewed and swallowed it, before asking: “How is the situation outside?”

“The Northern Land is a mess. People from all walks of life in the Jianghu are flocking here, looking for the mysteries that have fallen from the Immortal Realm. There are constant killings, but there are also countless lucky ones who soar into the sky, transforming from ordinary mortals into beings who have mastered mysterious powers. The Pingbian Royal Mansion has recruited a lot of good players in recent days. We have to be careful when facing the Pingbian Royal Mansion in the future.” Chen Xu said.

Zhang Chen nodded when he heard this. The chaos in the Northern Land was within his expectations. After all, when the two-world passage opened, countless mysteries were moved out of the spiritual world, and he didn't know how many people were made.

However, the remnant soul of that Ba Snake made Zhang Chen feel apprehensive, and he secretly raised his vigilance.

“There is also one thing, that is, the Northern Land army has been mobilized frequently in the past two months. I am afraid that millions of troops have been transferred back from the White Bone Great Wall by Pingbian Wang, heading towards the inland.” Chen Xu seemed to remember something and added.

Zhang Chen tapped his knee with his finger, looking at the flames in the stove: “Pingbian Wang either wants to rebel, or he is here for the ancestral tomb.”

Zhang Shicheng will definitely transform into a dragon on the second day of February this year. At that time, someone will inevitably try to make trouble. It is reasonable for Pingbian Wang to send millions of troops here in advance to guard.

Of course, there is another possibility, that is, Pingbian Wang has other plans, which Zhang Chen cannot guess.

After the two had drunk for three rounds, Zhang Chen looked at Chen Xu: “Do you have cultivation in your body?”

Chen Xu shook his head: “I don't have a teacher, where did I get the cultivation method from.”

Zhang Chen said: “I will pass on a visualization method to you, which can allow you to embark on the path of cultivation and make your bloodline level increase faster.”

Zhang Chen felt that the two brushes had helped him a lot when he was able to survive the time travel, and he should repay him for both reason and emotion.

“You have a cultivation method? And you can pass it on to me?” Chen Xu's eyes lit up when he heard this, and his bright eyes were full of joy.

That is a cultivation method related to mystery, which is an unpassed secret of this world and the foundation for the continuation of aristocratic families. Chen Xu dug up several large tombs and also dug up many treasures, but he did not dig up the cultivation method, which shows the preciousness of the cultivation method.

Zhang Chen pointed his finger at Chen Xu's eyebrows. The demon clan visualization method found in the True Dragon Tomb was directly transmitted into Chen Xu's mind.

After cultivating to Zhang Chen's level, the visualization diagrams that he couldn't remember in the past, at this time, appeared clearly and clearly in Zhang Chen's mind with a slight thought, without any errors.

After Chen Xu obtained the visualization method, his pupils dilated rapidly, his breathing was rapid, his chest rose and fell, and then he held up the wine bowl with both hands and said respectfully to Zhang Chen: “Brother Zhang, I respect you with this bowl of wine! If there is any order in the future, I, Chen Xu, will never say half a word, I am a heartless person.”

Although he obtained the Ba Snake bloodline, the evolution of the Ba Snake bloodline was extremely slow, how could it compare to the cultivation method?

With the cultivation method, his bloodline evolution speed will be faster!
