I picked up skill fragments in the demon world

#248 - Above the twelfth-level talisman

Passing on knowledge also requires many skills. As long as you master the techniques of deceiving people, even without extraordinary power, you can still leave people dumbfounded.

And with extraordinary power, deceiving people becomes even more effortless.

"Please teach me, Big Brother," Huang Chao said, looking at Zhang Chen with earnestness. He was just a beggar and didn't understand any great principles, so he naturally needed someone to guide him.

Seeing this, Zhang Chen generously offered advice. After explaining many methods of grasping people's hearts from later generations, he feared that Huang Chao wouldn't understand, so Zhang Chen directly pointed out a clear path for him: "If you really don't know how, just copy the Yellow Turban sect. The Yellow Turban sect's promotion of faith is very successful."

Hearing Zhang Chen's words, Huang Chao's eyes lit up: "Your method is good."

The two walked into the city, returning to that familiar alley and the familiar stall. Huang Chao shouted to the owner, "Three bowls of mutton offal soup."

Zhang Chen was stunned upon hearing this. He sat down at the stall, looked at the mutton offal soup, and then looked at Huang Chao, who was devouring it ravenously. His eyes were filled with helplessness: "You're treating me to this?"

Huang Chao smiled and said, "The money I have is only enough for three bowls of mutton offal soup."

Hearing this, Zhang Chen picked up his chopsticks and pulled the two bowls of mutton offal soup towards him: "Forget it, mutton offal soup it is. I'm not a picky eater."

At this moment, Huang Chao had already swallowed a bowl of mutton offal soup. Then, he picked up one of the two bowls of mutton offal soup in front of Zhang Chen and smiled at Zhang Chen with a shy expression: "I'm sorry, young master, these two bowls of mutton offal soup are mine. You only have one."

Zhang Chen's action of picking up the mutton offal soup paused. He looked at Huang Chao with his eyes. As expected of the extreme character that made Mr. Xiao depressed, he could only shake his head: "Forget it, eat!"

One bowl of mutton offal soup was enough to fill him up. Too much would be unnecessary.

"You don't know, for us beggars, what we want to eat most on weekdays is the mutton offal soup in this alley. I dream about it every day, but I'm poor and can't afford it, so I came up with the trick of spitting in it. Although I might get slapped a couple of times, it's worth it to be able to eat a mouthful of mutton offal soup," Huang Chao said with emotion:

"I don't want much, one bowl of mutton offal soup a day is enough."

Hearing this, Zhang Chen chewed the mutton offal soup silently. Although the Northern Territory was currently peaceful and worry-free, due to geographical reasons, it was not good at production, so food was still scarce.

After Zhang Chen finished eating the mutton offal soup, he said goodbye to Huang Chao and returned to his Bagua Furnace location. He looked at the 14,400,000 experience points he had obtained.

14,400,000 experience points could allow his skills to level up many times, but after thinking about it, Zhang Chen still wanted to put all the skill points into the Wind-Fixing Talisman.

The Yellow Springs and Six-Syllable Mantra he had obtained in the mental world before made him realize the importance of the mental world. The mental world contained countless treasures, all waiting for him to explore.

And if he didn't break through that violent wind, he would be forever trapped in a corner, unable to explore more good fortune.

Although points were precious, as long as he walked out of the great formation shrouded in black wind, he would definitely be able to discover more mysteries in the mental world and gain more points.

Then, Zhang Chen looked at his golden finger panel:

[13 Skill (Eighth Order): Wind-Fixing Talisman (0 / 512000)]

[Points: 14000000]

The number of points was neither too much nor too little, exactly 14,400,000, not even one point more.

Zhang Chen looked at the Wind-Fixing Talisman and directly added the points in his mind:

[13 Skill (Ninth Order): Wind-Fixing Talisman (0 / 1024000)]

[13 Skill (Tenth Order): Wind-Fixing Talisman (0 / 2048000)]

… …

[13 Skill (Twelfth Order): Wind-Fixing Talisman (0 / 8192000)]

[Points: 8192000]

Zhang Chen looked at his skills and points, and couldn't help but feel a little dumbfounded. Were his skill points calculated for leveling up?

The number of points needed to level up and the remaining points were just right, corresponding exactly.

"Twelfth Order… The Twelfth Order and above involves a new realm," Zhang Chen looked at the points and then at the skills on the panel, his gaze falling on the Twelfth Order.

As long as he added the points, it would definitely be another world.

And at this time, there were still more than eight million points, enough for him to upgrade a wave of skills.

Zhang Chen was now in a dilemma, one was the mysterious realm above the Twelfth Order, and the other was to increase his strength.

After a long time, Zhang Chen sighed: "I can still distinguish between eating a full meal and eating full meals."

Breaking through that black wind formation would allow him to explore the mysterious first world. Would he still be afraid of not having experience points then?

Moreover, he was also curious about the power of the so-called Twelfth Order and above. One must know that the ancient Eastern Emperor Taiyi and other saints were all painstakingly pursuing the power above the Twelfth Order.

Zhang Chen's mind moved, and all the points were instantly cleared. Then, Zhang Chen's golden finger panel twisted for a while, turning into countless snowflake states. This time, the reaction of Zhang Chen's golden finger panel was particularly long. After a full hour, the countless snowflakes on the panel were reorganized. This time, the handwriting actually turned into golden handwriting, and it was also an extremely mysterious bird seal rune. Its texture and threads seemed to be born naturally, with an unspeakable mysterious rule.

[13 Skill (Innate): Wind-Fixing Pill]

[Note 1: No wind can touch its body.]

The introduction was simple and straightforward, even seemingly crude, but the information revealed gave people unlimited imagination.

Sensing the information from the skill panel, Zhang Chen already knew that the thirteenth skill could no longer be improved.

The talisman representing the Wind-Fixing Talisman directly turned into a peanut-sized bead, flashing with silver-white light.

Ten directions of light flickered on the bead, and infinite Dao rhythms flowed. The Wind-Fixing Pill actually transformed from a talisman into an innate treasure.

"Wind-Fixing Pill? Is the Twelfth Order and above Innate? Does Innate mean it cannot be improved?" A trace of contemplation appeared in Zhang Chen's eyes.

"I wonder what the effect of this Wind-Fixing Pill is." Zhang Chen stretched out his palm, and the Wind-Fixing Pill quietly appeared in his palm. Its light converged, turning into a silver-white bead, smooth as a mirror with no flaws.

"This is an innate spiritual treasure!" Zhang Chen stroked the Wind-Fixing Pill, thoughts flashing in his mind: "If the talisman-type skills with carriers evolve into innate treasures, then will the final result of all skill-type divine powers be to advance to innate divine powers?"

However, Zhang Chen was not sure, after all, the potential of each divine power was different. Some divine powers evolved to a high level, and some divine powers evolved to a low level, and they could not be compared.

Just like Zhang Chen's Qi Refining Technique, the upper limit was too low, and it directly evolved to the end.

Zhang Chen carefully sensed the Wind-Fixing Pill, only to see that there seemed to be a mysterious power on the Wind-Fixing Pill, shrouding three feet around his body. All air movement within three feet around his body was instantly suppressed.

"This is simply the nemesis of all wind-attribute ability users." Zhang Chen's mana poured into the Wind-Fixing Pill. As mana was injected, a mysterious force field spread out, enveloping Zhang Chen within a meter.

But it was only a meter, because if it spread further, Zhang Chen's mana would be depleted.

After repeated experiments and demonstrations, Zhang Chen concluded that the power of the Wind-Fixing Pill could only spread to one meter with his mana. Within that meter, he could maintain it for the time it takes to burn an incense stick, but beyond that, his mana would be instantly drained by the Wind-Fixing Pill.

"The so-called one-meter distance is just the basic range for the Wind-Fixing Pill to activate its power autonomously. My mana only serves to stimulate the pill's operation. Beyond one meter, the Wind-Fixing Pill will draw my mana, which is insignificant compared to the pill's vast consumption." Zhang Chen understood. The Wind-Fixing Pill's power level had increased, which had both advantages and disadvantages for him.

The advantage was that the Wind-Fixing Pill's power was stronger, but the disadvantage was that it was more difficult to activate and the coverage area was smaller.

"But it's enough for me. What's the use of such a large range?" The next moment, with a thought, the Wind-Fixing Pill disappeared from his palm and reappeared within his mana Qinglian. With the addition of the Wind-Fixing Pill, Zhang Chen felt that his Qinglian became more solid and vivid, with a mysterious aura flowing within.

With a thought, Zhang Chen began to meditate and cultivate again, entering the first heaven of the spiritual world. At this moment, his figure directly appeared in the black wind. The overwhelming black wind rolled up, but when it was one meter away from Zhang Chen, it instantly became calm. All the black wind disappeared, and only black sand and gravel fell like sifting sand, covering Zhang Chen in dust.

The Wind-Fixing Pill automatically activated at this moment, enveloping Zhang Chen. Regardless of the dark and chaotic flying sand and rocks outside, the area around Zhang Chen remained calm.

Seeing this, Zhang Chen was overjoyed and quickly walked down the mountain, entering deeper into the black wind. He found that where he passed, the wind and sand stopped, and the black wind no longer caused him any trouble.

However, the entire world was blown into a dark and chaotic state, hindering visibility, with no scenery visible beyond ten meters.

"I have now fixed the black wind in the sky. As long as I follow the path down the mountain, I can get out of the great formation. But this great formation is originally an opportunity for me. If I can collect the great formation, it would also be a great fortune." Zhang Chen had ideas about the great formation.

Then he summoned the Great自在 Heavenly Demon: "I want to break this great formation. Do you know how to break it?"

"The core area of this black wind is probably already at the eleventh level. If you want to break the formation, you must first find a way to restrain the eleventh-level gale." The Great自在 Heavenly Demon looked at Zhang Chen, his voice full of teasing: "Want to restrain the gale, do you have that ability?"

"Of course I have that ability." Zhang Chen said with a smile: "You are short-sighted and look down on people too much. Just point out the way."

The Great自在 Heavenly Demon did not hesitate upon hearing this. After a little identification, he pointed out a direction. He wished that Zhang Chen would directly crash and his soul would fall here, so that he could regain his freedom.

The black wind howled, blowing sand and rocks, but Zhang Chen was as steady as an old dog, standing still in the strong wind, which made the Great自在 Heavenly Demon's expression surprised. As he got closer and closer to the core area, the power of the hurricane became more and more violent. Zhang Chen walked in the black wind, secretly pondering: "The power of this hurricane has reached the tenth level. If it blows, even a ninth-level expert can't resist it. Fortunately, the broken stones in the mountains have been blown away by the black wind, otherwise it should be flying sand and rocks at this time. Even if I have the Wind-Fixing Pill, I'm afraid I can't resist the impact of the big stones."

After walking for about the time it takes to burn an incense stick, Zhang Chen realized that his mana was about to run out, so he quickly retreated.

Inside the stone cave,

Zhang Chen opened his eyes from meditation. The outside was already sunny, and the scorching light shot in from the outside, making the entire cave bright.

"Since reaching the perfection of Qi training, I always feel that my mana is enough to use, but who knows that at this time it is actually running out again. I must find a higher-level cultivation formula for Qi training as soon as possible, otherwise mana will be my biggest shortcoming in using magical skills." Zhang Chen sat cross-legged on the ground, silently recovering his mana. Fortunately, his skills were innate, similar to天赋 magical powers, and did not require the support of mana.

Zhang Chen wanted to recover his mana, but the roar inside the Eight Trigrams Furnace was even louder, and the fierce roar of flames actually evolved into dragon roars and tiger howls.

"I wonder how my Golden绞 Scissors are? Can they withstand it?" Zhang Chen was a little worried: "This is a furnace created by天地, don't melt my Golden绞 Scissors."

Zhang Chen was a little worried, but because there was no mana in his body, he could not check the pill furnace.

"This reminds me that I should not consume too much mana during treasure refining, otherwise if something abnormal happens to the pill furnace, I will not be able to adjust it in time." Zhang Chen sounded an alarm in his heart.

"Woo ~"

Zhang Chen was about to recover his mana when the demon king Zhao Lie, who was next to him, woke up and let out a heart-rending roar at Zhang Chen: He was hungry!

Not just ordinary hunger, he was very, very hungry now.

Zhang Chen glanced at the little tiger, but ignored it. Instead, he summoned the Fox Fairy Nannan: "Go, feed the cat! I plan to give this little cat away in the future, so please take care of it for me."

The Fox Fairy Nannan was summoned by Zhang Chen without any complaints. She picked up the honey prepared by Zhang Chen and walked towards Zhao Lie: "By the way, where did you catch this little wild..."

The Fox Fairy Nannan could no longer speak after saying half a sentence. She stared at the little wild cat in front of her as if struck by lightning, her eyes full of disbelief.

What did she see? The demon clan's great demon king Zhao Lie?

That is the demon clan's supreme master, the great demon king Zhao Lie, how could he become a little wild cat and be caught by Zhang Chen?

The Fox Fairy Nannan rubbed her eyes hard, suspecting that she was mentally exhausted recently and her eyes were blurred. After she rubbed her eyes, she stared at Zhao Lie, big eyes staring at small eyes, both of them were silent.

"I must have seen it wrong, it's just a bit similar." The Fox Fairy Nannan muttered.

The Fox Fairy Nannan recognized the great demon king Zhao Lie, and of course Zhao Lie also recognized the Fox Fairy Nannan. After all, the other party was the demon clan's pride, and he had no reason not to know her.

When Zhao Lie and the Fox clan's ancestor discussed the Dao in the past, he had seen the Fox Fairy Nannan, and even gave her guidance on her cultivation.

When Zhao Lie saw the Fox Fairy Nannan, he immediately became tearful, and tears were about to flow from his eyes.

Too sad!

Finally saw my own people!

Baby is so bitter!
