I picked up skill fragments in the demon world.

Chapter 129 The First Ray of Mana

Zhang Chen looked at the text, his eyes filled with confusion and his mind full of question marks.

The idea is good, but it is extremely difficult to crack it.

"The most important thing is to understand the meaning of each word." Zhang Chen looked at Pinyin and finally realized its shortcomings.

If it is daily language, there is no problem in spelling it in pinyin, because after spelling it out, everyone will naturally understand the meaning. But this is a mysterious Qigong language, which is very obscure. Who can know the meaning after spelling it out?
Zhang Chen stopped writing immediately, then looked at the text marked with pinyin and felt that this job was impossible to do.

This is a Qigong practice. One wrong word may go in the opposite direction and directly ruin the person. Does he dare to continue fooling around like this?

But if you ask him to spend time learning characters, it will take at least three to five years, and he cannot wait that long.

"This is difficult! Do I have to wait another three to five years?" Zhang Chen looked at the book with a thoughtful look in his eyes. He didn't have three to five years to wait.

"If I can develop this Qigong technique into a skill, it will be a quick success for me." Zhang Chen stroked the scripture, and he thought of the light of the righteous god that burst out from the Xisheng Sutra.

"But the Xisheng Sutra burst out with the light of the righteous god because there is the original golden book. I did morning lessons with everyone else. In the past month, I have listened to the Huangting Sutra dozens of times, but still gained nothing. It seems that if I want to turn the sutra into a skill, I have to have the original version." Zhang Chen thought to himself.

"How to do?"

This is what is worrying Zhang Chen at the moment. Does he have to steal the original golden book of the Huangting Sutra?
Then he also needs to know where the golden book is hidden?
If you want to know where the golden book is hidden, you have to climb to the top of Huang Tiandao to have a chance to get the news.

Zhang Chen was silent for a while, then he sat in front of the lamp with the sutra and began to read. At this time, Zhang Chen had another idea in his mind: "If you read a book a hundred times, its meaning will become clear. If I read it a few more times, maybe I can find a way to crack it."

Zhang Chen took the scripture and began to recite it haltingly under the light, following the pinyin.

This was the only solution he could think of at the moment. If you read a book a hundred times, its meaning will become clear. He really had no other choice but this one.

I stuttered the first time.

The second time was a little smoother

The third time, there are still typos

The fifth time, there are already very few typos

Sixth time

Seventh time

……

Zhang Chen recited until the second half of the night, then stopped reciting and went to sit on the bed to meditate and study the mysterious world. However, after studying all night, he still could not find a way to break through the barrier.

Early the next morning, the little kid's shouting woke Zhang Chen up. Zhang Chen got up and washed up, still feeling sleepy. The two of them went to do morning lessons together.

"This is for you." On the way to the square, the little kid suddenly stuffed something into Zhang Chen's hand.

Zhang Chen took it and looked at it. It was a palm-sized cloth bag with two crooked little people embroidered on it, one big and one small holding hands. It looked very ugly.

At this time, Xiao Douding took out a similar bag from his bosom, opened it and found that it was full of snacks. He boasted to Zhang Chen, "When I was sewing the bag last night, I thought that you didn't even have a purse to hold things, so I sewed one for you.

As he spoke, he took out a snack from his cloth bag and stuffed it into his mouth, his face full of pride: "How is it? My sewing is pretty good, right?"

Zhang Chen touched the cloth bag and smiled. For a five-year-old child, this handicraft was truly amazing.

"Not bad, I like it very much. I'll bring you more snacks next time." Zhang Chen said with a smile.

As he spoke, Xiao Douding stuffed the snacks into his waist, and then said to Zhang Chen: "Where did you get these delicious things? Take me with you next time? I have searched all over Huangli Temple, but I didn't find this good stuff."

Zhang Chen stroked the little kid's head and promised casually: "Let's go together in the future."

In the morning, they still did morning exercises and practiced martial arts together, but Zhang Chen gradually discovered that something was wrong with the Taoist temple. Some of the disciples in the temple were fanatical, like crazy believers, worshipping the Great God Huang Tian and the Great Heavenly Master as if he were a god.

It would be fine if it was a normal chat on a normal day, but once the topic was about the Great Heavenly Master, it would be like a god in the world. If anyone dared to say a bad word about the Great Heavenly Master, he would wave his fists and turn against them to fight to the death, just like the enemy who killed his father.

This scene made Zhang Chen feel a chill in his heart. He thought that Huang Tiandao was really good at brainwashing people. He had turned three thousand martial arts disciples into fanatical believers. If they went down the mountain to cause trouble in the future, who knows how much trouble they would cause.

Today's breakfast was reduced by half, there were no steamed buns, and even the vegetable porridge was only half the size.

The law enforcement elder led seven hunting dogs and sniffed around everyone, but found nothing.

Zhang Chen looked at the half-filled bucket of porridge in his hand, and a thought flashed through his mind: "Huang Tiandao is having a hard time too. If the drought doesn't ease, I'm afraid the entire Northland will be in chaos."

Back in the house, Zhang Chen gave rice porridge to the little kid. He had no shortage of food and drink now. He had eaten a lot at his master's wife's house last night and had not digested it all night.

Morning lessons, work, and then all the rest of the time is spent practicing calligraphy, martial arts, and reciting scriptures.

Zhang Chen also figured it out that even if he understood the Qigong formula in the future, he would still have to memorize it, so it would be better to memorize it now.

The Night of the Sixth Day

Zhang Chen held the scripture in his hand and recited it hundreds of times in these seven days. At this time, Zhang Chen's recitation was not only fluent, but also very few mistakes, which had almost formed instinctive muscle memory.

That night
Everything was quiet. Zhang Chen sat under the moonlight. The bright moonlight was scattered and absorbed by Zhang Chen, nourishing his soul, making Zhang Chen's perception more acute, his thinking more agile, and his brain clear. At this time, he recited the chapters in the scriptures as if he was assisted by God, as if he was blessed by some unknown source. Not only did he recite without any mistakes, but he also did not pause. He actually finished reciting in one breath.

As Zhang Chen recited, the vibration sound reverberated in his body. The complete chanting tone seemed to stir up the righteous light in his body. The vibration tone formed a strange frequency, which directly sensed the righteous light in Zhang Chen's body. Then Zhang Chen's righteous light actually separated a ray, vibrating at that frequency, wandering in Zhang Chen's body meridians like a spirit snake. As Zhang Chen finished reciting, the ray of righteous light finished wandering, and suddenly its light flickered slightly, as if some changes had occurred. The ray of righteous light did not return to the main group of righteous light, but came all the way to Zhang Chen's upper dantian. In an instant, the ancestral orifice between the eyebrows of the upper dantian made a loud noise, just like the creation of the world, and was split from a turbid state by the light.

The ancestral orifice between the eyebrows was bright and clear, and evolved into a void of ten feet in size. Only that ray of strange golden light was transformed into the only one.

However, the changes had not yet ended, and the golden light rooted in the upper dantian twisted and turned into countless fine runes. There were a total of 1,200 runes, arranged according to a unique pattern, and turned into an illusory blue lotus.

The lotus is illusory, still in the state of a bud, and it seems that there is endless mystery lingering within it.

At this moment, the sound of inexplicable recitation came from the lotus:
"Medicine beads enrich the inner self, gold flies behind the elbow, kindness is upside down, and the world is clear. Disperse the five forms and change into thousands of gods, Jia, Yi, Geng, Xin, Bing, Ding, Ren, Gui, thousands of magical powers, the five forms gather. The nine suns turn back, seven times return to the spirit, the night light appears, and the gods are shocked. The divine boy gives birth to purple marriage, purple mist and red light, forming a canopy, magical powers are trance, and the form is not broken. This is called the Jade Book can be studied carefully. Exhaust all the scriptures, master the Jade Secret, the way of nature, the true merit of virtue..."

As the voice recited, Zhang Chen actually understood the meaning naturally. The text, which he could only read vaguely based on pinyin before, was now understood by him instantly.

At this moment, the gold finger layout changes:
[Skill 7 (Beginner): First Level of Qi Refining (0/1000)]

"Am I getting started?" Zhang Chen looked at the illusory lotus in his upper dantian with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

He actually got started in this way.

Only then did he understand that although the content of the sutra was important, the frequency of its recitation was also very important.

The most important thing is, what on earth is the light of the righteous god in his lower dantian, and how is it related to the Qigong technique? After the inexplicable transformation of the frequency, it actually turned into the power of Qigong?
Zhang Chen looked at the lotus in his upper dantian. A golden air current condensed into substance in the lotus bud, and 1,200 faint runes flickered inside. He had an almost instinctive intuition in his heart: Mana! That was his own mana!
Your own magic power!
“The key to my successful cultivation is that I first possess the light of the righteous god. The light of the righteous god is drawn by the frequency of my recitation, and naturally circulates throughout the body to form magic power.” Zhang Chen was thoughtful at this time. Ever since he entered the spiritual realm of oblivion, he seemed to have opened his mind, and many things became clear in his mind.

"Interesting." Zhang Chen muttered to himself, "The origin of my Light of Righteousness must be incredible, which shows how mysterious the origin of that page of the Xisheng Sutra is."

At this moment, Zhang Chen carefully sensed that strand of magic power, and countless pieces of information flooded into his mind.

"Mana power is a kind of energy, a very strange kind of energy. Mana power itself has no effect. It is just a kind of energy that provides power for magical powers. If I want magic power to work, I must first have the mantra of magical powers or spells." Zhang Chen understood something in his mind.

After he cultivated the first bit of magic power, all these insights naturally appeared in his mind.

Just ask him to find magic? Magical power? Where should he look for it? To dig a tomb? To dig a grave?

Then Zhang Chen looked at his own Gold Finger page:
【Name: Zhang Chen】

[Skill 1 (Level 0): Light of the Righteous God -> Automatic Cruise (200000/)]

[Skill 2 (Level 0): ​​Dragon Energy (200000/)]

[Skill 3 (Level 0): Transform into a Blood Bat (1000000/)]

[4th skill (second level): Water Control + Weak Water (0/100000)] Dragon Ball doubles the range, meters. Freezing increases by meter to meters.

[5th ​​skill (first level): Soul-catching chain (0/1000000)]

[Skill 6 (Ultimate): Oblivion (0/400000)]

[Skill 7 (Beginner): Qi Training Level 0 (1000/)]

【Points: 5562】

"According to some logic, my skills should also be classified as supernatural powers, right?" Zhang Chen looked at his own skills, a gleam of light appeared in his eyes, and he started trying directly.

The next moment, the magic power in the lotus in the upper dantian erupted directly, and then Zhang Chen's mind moved, and the beast taming technique was actually activated along with the urging of magic power, but the scope of his control was very small, probably only a few meters.

"Can magic power really activate skills?" Zhang Chen was overjoyed at this moment, his heart full of surprises.

Although the mana is very weak, it is unlimited! Moreover, after gaining mana, many magical powers are no longer limited in the number of times they can be used.

The most important thing is that if there are magic spells in the future, he can learn them by himself instead of relying solely on the golden finger to master them.

"Add some points! Add some points!" Zhang Chen also realized that his own magic power was weak, and immediately started to add some points.
The next moment, the points evaporated directly, and Zhang Chen's seventh skill changed and flashed:
[Skill 7 (Beginner): Qi Training Level 0 (2000/)]

At this moment, there was a change inside the lotus, and wisps of magic power appeared out of thin air inside the green lotus.

"The skill points consumed are a bit too much." Zhang Chen looked at the points after the Qi training technique was upgraded to the second level. It actually took 2,000 points to upgrade to the second level. So, upgrading to the third level required 4,000 points. Upgrading to the fourth level required 8,000 points. Upgrading to the fifth level required 16,000 points. Upgrading to the sixth level required 32,000 points...

"It's simply a gold-eating beast. Who can withstand it? If it is upgraded to the twelfth heaven, there is no need to talk about the upgrades in between. Even the twelfth heaven alone requires 2,048,000 points! Add in the points for each upgrade, it is definitely a gold-eating beast! Who can withstand it?"

Zhang Chen secretly smacked his lips: "Unless the Emperor's daughter's tomb is dug up! And with so many points, I'm afraid I don't know how incredible the skills can be upgraded to. The twelfth-level skills and abilities can almost be developed, right?"

Zhang Chen was in a dilemma at this time. Should he upgrade his skills quickly and upgrade them to the twelfth level, or choose to upgrade his Qi training technique?
Zhang Chen's gaze fell on the Qi training skill, and a hint of confusion appeared in his eyes.

How to do?
No matter how much magic power you accumulate, if you don't have supernatural powers to use it, it will be useless.

"Choose!" Zhang Chen took a breath, then slowly closed his eyes and lay on the bed to ponder. After thinking for a long time, he still couldn't figure it out, so he started to ponder the scriptures again. At this time, every word of the scriptures appeared in his mind.

"No!" Suddenly at a certain moment, Zhang Chen suddenly opened his eyes and sat up in the dark: "This Huangting Sutra is incomplete, it's just the beginning, just the introductory chapter of Qi training, there are more chapters to come!"

This Huangting Sutra is actually an incomplete version. It only contains the chapter on Qi training. What happens after the chapter on Qi training?

What should I do after I have perfected my Qi training?

Or is it that the path to immortality only consists of the Qi training chapter, without the subsequent realms? Once Qi training is complete, one can become an immortal?
