I picked up skill fragments in the demon world.

Chapter 137 Golden Talisman

Zhang Chen came to visit his master again. Chai Chuanxin's leg was broken, and the courtyard finally became quiet.

"Where is Master?" Zhang Chen put down the fruits and cakes he bought, glanced across the small courtyard, but saw no trace of Chen Sanliang, so he asked.

"Chen Chuanxin was so unlucky that his leg was broken by the beast that fell from the eaves. He came all the way from the south alone without any servants or relatives to serve him. Your husband went to serve him." Han Suzhen said unhappily.

Zhang Chen was stunned when he heard Han Suzhen's words. He didn't expect that he had killed two birds with one stone. Not only did he solve the problem of firewood, but he also drove Chen Sanliang out to avoid being treated coldly by Chen Sanliang.

"I saw you being humiliated before and thought you would never come again. I'm glad you can come today. The most taboo thing for people is arrogance before they have the ability and worthless self-esteem." Han Suzhen held the scroll in her hand and looked at Zhang Chen with a smile on her face: "Since you are here today, I will give you some good things."

Han Suzhen waved the scroll in her hand and said, "This scroll is the manuscript of Chen Sanliang's countless insights from his thirty years of enlightenment in the north. You can study it. Although he has a bad temper and only knows how to abide by some rigid rules, his ability to study is first-class, otherwise he would not dare to claim that he is no worse than a saint."

At this point, Han Suzhen's voice was full of emotion, as if she was defending Chen Sanliang: "In the past, Chen Sanliang discussed Taoism with the Master's lineage for three days and three nights, and criticized the Master's Taoism as a useless avenue, which immediately aroused the anger of the entire Taoist lineage. The young master of the Master's lineage: Zhu Xun said, 'If you think that the saint's avenue is useless, if you have the ability to create a useful avenue yourself, we will respect you! What kind of ability is it to come here and talk nonsense?' So Chen Sanliang and the Master's lineage made a bet that if he didn't create a useful avenue, he would never return to Jiangnan. There were many reasons why we were exiled to the north, and this was actually one of the main reasons."

Zhang Chen was stunned when he heard this, with a hint of surprise in his eyes: "This is the handwritten manuscript of my master. If I teach it to my disciples privately, I'm afraid it will be a bad idea."

"What's wrong with that? If there is any responsibility, I will take it all." Han Suzhen's voice was full of indifference: "Now his knowledge is about to take shape, you can just follow his manuscript and watch how he created a new knowledge. It will definitely be of great benefit to you."

Zhang Chen was moved, and faced with Han Suzhen's unquestionable eyes, he accepted the manuscript. Then he consulted Han Suzhen for half a day before leaving the courtyard. Before leaving, Han Suzhen said: "You need to read it carefully when you go back. Next time you come back, I will test your experience and understanding. If you can't explain it, I will not forgive you."

"Disciple obeys your command." Zhang Chen said respectfully.

Then he said goodbye to Han Suzhen and was about to go back when he suddenly saw a crowd of people surging on the street in the distance. Dozens of men in coarse linen clothes and yellow scarves on their heads gathered together and were preaching to the people, telling them about the wonder and greatness of the Great God Huang Tian.

At this moment, there was a sudden commotion among the crowd, and a carriage stopped abruptly and came to the place where Huang Liguan was preaching. At this time, the curtain of the carriage was lifted, and a woman in a red robe walked out.

The woman was wearing a red robe with a golden phoenix embroidered on it. She looked down at the disciple of Huang Li Temple and asked, "Is the Great God Huang Tian that you mentioned really as great as you said?"

"Can your Great God Huang Tian really suppress evil spirits?"

When the disciples of Huangli Temple saw the luxurious clothes and the Ferghana horse on the woman, their eyes lit up immediately: "You are just a mere evil spirit. You can't even hold out in front of my Great God Huang Tian. Even if you are a great demon that shakes the world, in front of my Great God Huang Tian, ​​you will be nothing but ashes. It's not worth mentioning."

"My lady, our great god Huang Tiandao is omnipotent. If you are interested, you can stay and listen."

Zhang Chen, who had just returned, saw this scene and thought to himself, "I never thought that Huang Tiandao's preaching is getting bigger and bigger now, and now he doesn't shy away from the court. That woman is probably in trouble. She believes in Huang Tian and may even lose everything she has."

But he did not meddle in other people's business. Instead, he came to an inn. At this time, the sky was getting dark. Zhang Chen opened a room in the inn. After drinking some tea, he saw the vixen carrying a small box and floating in from the window: "Fortunately, I have fulfilled my mission and accomplished my mission."

The fox fairy Nannan placed the small box on the table in front of Zhang Chen with a proud look on her face. Zhang Chen reached out to open the box, and what came into his sight were gold bricks.

Yes, it is gold bricks, not gold ingots.

Looking at the gold bricks on the table, which weighed at least five or six kilograms, Zhang Chen cursed: "How much of the people's blood and sweat did this dog official extort?"

"How did you find the gold bricks so easily?" Zhang Chen asked.

"I just used a little magic to confuse the wife of that dog official, and the job was done." The fox fairy Nannan said proudly.

Zhang Chen stroked the gold brick with his palm, and the next moment the gold finger page opened, and the gold finger began to flash:
[Discovering gold, you can refine pure gold]

[Is it refined? ]

"Isn't gold pure gold?" Zhang Chen thought for a moment, and then directly agreed to Gold Finger's request. The next moment, the gold in the box turned into mist and poured into Zhang Chen's mouth and nose.

"What kind of skill are you practicing?" The fox fairy Nannan looked at Zhang Chen's methods with a hint of curiosity in her eyes.

Zhang Chen ignored the fox fairy Nannan and observed the changes of the golden finger. As the golden mist was absorbed by Zhang Chen, the golden finger suddenly flashed and a new page appeared:
[Collect 30 grams of pure gold, the amount is insufficient to meet the requirements for making talismans. ]

"What is this?" Zhang Chen was stunned, looking at the gold on the table that seemed to have shrunk a little bit, and no more golden mist was flowing out of it. He was full of doubts. Wasn't there still several kilograms of gold? How could it be insufficient?

【That is just gold, not pure gold. 】

Goldfinger gave the answer.

Zhang Chen's face darkened when he heard this. If this was the case, he would need at least a hundred kilograms of gold to obtain enough pure gold.

One hundred kilograms of gold? This is not a small amount. If it is lost, it will definitely cause a huge disturbance. Even the Inspection Office will pay attention to it.

But in order to refine the talisman, I have to do it even if it requires more gold, right?

"Nobles! These rich bastards! They are so rich and unkind, I must take revenge. Why not start with Zhang Xiaolan's family? Zhang Xiaolan's family is a local rich man, and they wanted to raise the rent a few days ago." Zhang Chen turned his head and looked at the vixen: "I have something I need you to do for me. If you can do it, you will get a lot of benefits. Then I will let you stay in the spiritual world for an hour."

"What's the matter? Just tell me." The vixen's eyes lit up when she heard that.

Zhang Chen whispered something in the fox spirit's ear. The fox spirit's expression changed when he heard it. He looked at Zhang Chen with fear in his eyes: "Your method is too shameless and too insidious, isn't it?"

The fox fairy Nannan thought she was sinister enough, but after meeting Zhang Chen, she realized what it meant to be "unworthy of a human being."

However, such a despicable and cunning Zhang Chen was exactly what the fox fairy Nannan wanted. It was better for one's own people to be so insidious and cunning than for others to be insidious and cunning and plot against one's self.

The fox fairy Nannan rolled up the gold in front of Zhang Chen's desk, disappeared into the darkness, and went directly to the Zhang family, a local tycoon. In recent years, the Zhang family has relied on the big tree of the Pingbian Palace and has lived an unusually comfortable life.

The fox fairy Nannan went straight into the Zhang family and came to the door of Mr. Zhang's house. She threw three gold bars directly on the ground and knocked hard on the door.

"Who is it?" Mr. Zhang in the room was drinking tea. He shouted when he heard the knock on the door. When there was no response, he stood up and opened the door. The next moment, Mr. Zhang saw gold scattered on the ground and was stunned.

"Where did this gold come from?" Master Zhang stared blankly at the gold on the ground. After thinking for a few breaths, he quickly picked up the gold, closed the door, and looked at the gold in his arms with a hint of greed in his eyes: "With my current relationship with the Pingbian Palace, I am not afraid even if there is any trouble with this gold."

Besides, three gold bars are not a lot, so even if something happens, he can handle it.

Thinking of this, Mr. Zhang came to the mechanism where his gold was hidden, carefully hid the gold he picked up, then walked out of the house and shouted to the outside of the door: "Go tell the third concubine that I'm going to her place tonight." Mr. Zhang had a proud look on his face. He was extremely happy for having made a fortune out of nothing.

When Master Zhang went to celebrate with the Third Wife, Fox Fairy Nannan appeared in Master Zhang's study. Looking at the hidden mechanism, she couldn't help but mutter to herself, "Zhang Chen is too sinister and ruthless. This method is simply impossible to defend against. As long as the other party picks up the gold, he will inevitably feel guilty and will definitely hide the gold. By then, I will definitely find the place where the gold is hidden and catch them all in one fell swoop. This kid is so vicious, no wonder I failed!"

The fox fairy Nannan suddenly felt that she was not unjustly defeated, and then she opened Mr. Zhang's mechanism, not only looting all the gold inside, but also leaving no silver.

All the gold, silver, jewelry and other portable items were looted by the vixen.

Tonight, dozens of wealthy families in the north found gold inexplicably, and then at the same time, all the valuable gold and silver were swept away. Even if a rat came, it had to leave two grains of rice before leaving.

Inside the inn

It was already the second half of the night. Zhang Chen secretly estimated the time and found that there were still two hours before morning classes. There was a neatly laid pile of gold in front of him, weighing about a hundred kilograms.

Next to the gold, there were countless silver and jewels, piled up into a two-meter-high hill.

The fox fairy Nannan was standing beside the hill with a proud look on her face, her voice full of praise: "Two-legged beast, your plan is absolutely amazing! No noble in the North can escape this trick."

"Unfortunately, this method can only be used once. It won't work if you use it again after alerting the enemy." Zhang Chen muttered.

"Moreover, the thefts of dozens of noble families in the north will definitely alert the Censorate. Next, we must honestly follow the rules and must not let the Censorate target us." Zhang Chen said.

"With so much gold and silver, it's enough for us to eat and drink to our heart's content for the rest of our lives." The fox fairy Nannan said proudly.

"You move these silver and jewels into the cave first and bury them under the beehives." Zhang Chen ordered.

Upon hearing this, the fox fairy Nannan happily took out a bag and went away with the treasures. Zhang Chen now looked at the golden mountain in front of him, a thoughtful look in his eyes. The next moment he directly used his golden finger, and streams of golden mist, like spirit snakes, continuously poured into Zhang Chen's mouth and nose.

As the pure gold energy entered Zhang Chen's body, the next moment the gold finger screen flashed:
[I found that the promotion conditions are met. Do you want to advance? 】

"Promote!"

[8th skill (first level): Immobilization Talisman (0/4000)]

Then, the pure golden energy that entered Zhang Chen's body flashed, appeared in the ancestral orifice of his Dantian, and entered the green lotus between his eyebrows.

I saw that the countless pure gold energy in the green lotus gathered according to some mysterious rules and turned into a talisman paper made entirely of gold.

The talisman paper was 20 centimeters long and 5 centimeters wide. At this moment, mysterious golden light flashed in the green lotus. In the dark, it seemed as if there was a mysterious big brush. Zhang Chen's magic power was also mobilized with the big brush. A rune was outlined on the talisman paper out of thin air. The rune was exactly the pattern of the immobilization talisman that Zhang Chen remembered in his mind.

At this time, the talisman had not yet been completed, but on the back of the talisman paper, there were auspicious clouds outlined. In the auspicious clouds, there seemed to be golden lotus flowers blooming, and there was a faint palace flashing in the auspicious clouds.

[8th skill (first level): Immobilization Talisman (0/4000)]

[Note 1: It can be determined as a first-order weirdness]

【Points: 148000】

Zhang Chen smiled when he saw this, and then directly added some upgrades:
[8th skill (second level): Immobilization Talisman (0/40000)]

[Note 1: Can be determined as a second-order weirdness]

【Points: 144000】

At this moment, the golden rune flashed and turned into two, flying in Zhang Chen's green lotus, like two butterflies, chasing each other and flashing continuously.

"Two? That means I can now freeze two second-level monsters at the same time." Zhang Chen's eyes lit up after seeing the two runes.

Of course, the number of points required at this time also began to increase tenfold.

"Keep upgrading!"

Zhang Chen looked at his points and found that he still had 144,000 points, so he could still afford the upgrade.

The next moment, the runes were upgraded again, and two runes became three runes.

[8th skill (Level 0): Immobilization Talisman (400000/)]

[Note 1: Can be determined as a third-order weirdness]

【Points: 104000】

After upgrading the rune to level three, Zhang Chen finally stopped. Looking at the remaining 104,000 points, he didn't dare to squander them. After all, there was still one rune left.

Moreover, for him, Qigong is the most important thing, and he needs to accumulate points to upgrade Qigong.

At present, the third-level rune is enough for him. The third-level rune can already freeze the strong people in the Day Travel Realm, which is completely sufficient for him.

As for stronger people at a higher level, he felt that the light of the righteous gods was more powerful.

What he lacks now is the means to deal with ordinary people. Now that he has three runes, it is enough to deal with martial arts masters in the world, and he also has the power to protect himself.

"I will definitely win this competition! As expected, who would practice martial arts when one can practice Taoism?" Zhang Chen showed a hint of pride. Of course, he could not only cast golden talismans now, but he could also draw talismans with cinnabar himself. However, drawing talismans with cinnabar was too conspicuous and people would notice that it was abnormal at a glance.

After all, when the two sides are fighting, you directly hold a rune and stick it on the opponent. As long as the opponent is not a fool, he will be able to see the trick and think it is a fraud and will not give you the chance to get close.

However, it is not the case after the golden talisman has been refined by magic power. When fighting with the opponent, as long as it touches the opponent's body, it can directly enter the opponent's body and freeze all the opponent's spiritual activities at the soul level. It is invisible and intangible, unpredictable, and cannot be detected by the naked eye of outsiders.
