I picked up skill fragments in the demon world.

Chapter 281 The Magic of Combining Sands - - -Done!
"I didn't expect there would be an unexpected gain." Zhang Chen secretly praised himself, then put away the water control technique. He had plenty of time now, and everything was still in time. There was no need to take risks. If he alerted the enemy and caused them to move, it would be difficult for him to find such a good opportunity again in the future.

"It would be great if the secret room contains the mantras for practicing Qi. Then I can obtain the mantras for practicing Qi at a higher level and directly break away from Huang Tian Dao. Then I can leap like a fish in the vast sea and sky." Zhang Chen had some longing in his heart.

Then Zhang Chen put away the water control technique and began his daily slacking off.

Xiao Douding's daily task is to practice martial arts and meditate, while Zhang Chen's task is to slack off and hone his skills.

That night
Zhang Chen came to the main hall again, pretended to walk around the hall, cleaned it, and then took a rag to the statue of the ancestor, the Great Sage Master. He stretched out his mouthparts from his palm and silently pierced into the light circle of the power of faith.

Zhang Chen devoured them with joy, one by one, each one crunchy and silent. The mighty power of faith was diluted and transformed into a mysterious power, and finally the mysterious power was transformed into Zhang Chen's skill points.

Soon, a night passed, and Zhang Chen's accumulated points for the day were exactly one million. Then Zhang Chen's eyes fell on the Dingshui Talisman:

[14th skill (Level 0): Water-fixing Talisman (32000/)]

[Note: You can freeze the fourth-order water flow within 50 meters around you.]

【Points: 10000000】

No more, no less, exactly one million points.

Zhang Chen looked at the fourth-level water-fixing talisman and clicked on it without saying anything. Then he saw that the water-fixing talisman was upgraded again:

……

[14th skill (0th level): Water-fixing Talisman (1002400/)]

Seeing that there were less than a few dozen points left, Zhang Chen spread his fingers and calculated silently: "It seems that it will take a few more days to upgrade to the twelfth level and break the shackles of the twelfth level.

But now that he has been upgraded to the ninth level, the speed is not considered slow for him.

Seeing that it was getting late, Zhang Chen did not dare to stay any longer, but quietly left the hall and returned to his own courtyard to fish in troubled waters.

However, Zhang Chen originally wanted to quietly return to his own courtyard, but as luck would have it, when Zhang Chen walked out of the hall carrying the bucket of water, he actually ran into Wei Yingwu head-on.

At this moment, Zhang Chen walked out of the hall carrying a bucket of water. Although it was reasonable to say that Zhang Chen had cleaned the palace all night, Wei Yingwu was holding a fox in his arms at this moment, and the fox was talking: "Later, you just need to put this thing under the statue in the hall, and I can steal the water god's fortune of Huang Tiandao for the prince..."

Before he finished speaking, Zhang Chen walked out of the hall, and then the atmosphere in the air froze. Zhang Chen looked at Wei Yingwu, and saw that the white-haired fox on Wei Yingwu's chest directly got into his sleeves. Although the white-haired fox's movements were swift, who was Zhang Chen? He saw the flaw at a glance.

The air seemed to be stagnant. Zhang Chen thought to himself, "What a great mansion of Pingbian. It actually has some plans for Huang Tiandao."

Wei Yingwu looked at Zhang Chen, his eyes full of murderous intent, and he was hesitant in his heart: "Did he hear it?"

This kind of thing cannot be seen in public!
Once exposed, Huang Tiandao will never let it go!
Moreover, this is the main hall of Huangli Temple, and the Taoists have all gotten up. If I kill them, it would be even more troublesome if someone saw us.

"Brother, you came early. What did you say to me outside the door? I didn't hear it clearly." Zhang Chen's eyes turned and he was the first to speak, breaking the stagnant atmosphere in the air.

When Wei Yingwu heard Zhang Chen's words, he immediately relaxed and thought to himself, "He didn't hear clearly!"

He just said something casually to fool the conversation and then the two of them went their separate ways.

Seeing Zhang Chen walking away, Wei Yingwu walked into the main hall. At this time, the white fox in his sleeve said, "We must not leave this boy here. Any possible flaws must not be left behind."

Wei Yingwu was stunned when he heard this, but didn't say much.

Zhang Chen walked away, his heart pounding wildly. If he was not mistaken, he recognized the white fox. It had exactly the same aura as the person who took Chen Sanliang away.

"It seems that the relationship between Pingbian Palace and Huang Tiandao is not as good as it seems." Zhang Chen thought to himself: "It seems that Pingbian Palace also covets the position of Water God."

The next day, when Zhang Chen was sleeping, he was beaten by his unfilial niece again. His face was swollen and his nose was bruised. But Zhang Chen had no way to do anything. He was powerless.

When faced with his rebellious niece, he had no choice but to be beaten.

That night, Zhang Chen collected another one million points. He looked at the points again and found that he had just enough points to upgrade once more.

[14th skill (level 0): Water-fixing Talisman (2004800/)]

"If I save up for about two more days, I will be able to break into the eleventh level. This kind of auxiliary skill doesn't consume much experience points. The real big consumers are the attacking skills." Zhang Chen muttered to himself.

During the morning class that day, Zhang Chen and Xiao Douding were standing behind the crowd trying to take advantage of the situation. They scanned the crowd and saw Wei Yingwu standing in the team, but no sign of Zhang Xiaohua.

"Why haven't I seen the prince in the past two days?" Zhang Chen asked the little kid curiously.

The little kid lowered his voice and said, "I heard that the prince was so scared that he hid under the ancestral tablet in the backyard all day, fearing that the monster down the mountain would come to him. I heard that the monster was summoned by the prince Zhang Xiaohua just to eat Zhang Xiaohua."

Hearing Cheng Yu's words, Zhang Chen subconsciously looked towards the blood sea world, and saw that the Blood God Son was quietly soaking in the blood sea. After absorbing the blood of those soldiers, the Blood God Son seemed to have become a lot stronger, and his originally illusory body had a sense of solidity like smoke.

"Coward! This guy looks brave and strong, but he just hides behind when encountering problems. He is a bully who only cares about the weak and is not worth mentioning." Zhang Chen was full of contempt for Zhang Xiaohua. They had been neighbors for several years. How could he not know what kind of person the other person was?
However, the other party's status is noble, and the son of a thousand pounds does not sit in the hall, which can be explained. If he were in the other party's status, he would have a great life in the future and all kinds of fortunes at his fingertips, and he would never take any risks.

"I really envy the other person's identity." Zhang Chen was also envious and jealous.

After the morning class, Zhang Chen and Xiao Douding rushed to the cafeteria. However, when they were halfway there, Wei Yingwu trotted over to them:

"Zhang Chen, please stop. I have something to tell you."

Zhang Chen stopped walking when he heard that, and looked at Cheng Yu with a cautious look in his eyes. Wei Yingwu was not a good person. In order to win the first place in the sect competition, he secretly teamed up with outsiders to kill several senior brothers at the foot of the mountain. This man was a spy from the Pingbian Palace. The two of them had no contact with him, so why did he stop them?

Zhang Chen was surprised. He remembered what he had seen in the morning, but he did not panic. Instead, he smiled and raised his hand to greet him: "It turned out to be Senior Brother Wei."

"Zhang Chen, I have something to advise you." Wei Yingwu came from a distance, stood in front of Zhang Chen, and said arrogantly: "How are you doing with what the prince asked you to do? You have to hurry up with Xie Lingyun's matter. The prince told me yesterday that he hasn't seen Xie Lingyun for a few days, and asked you to go down the mountain to invite Xie Lingyun to the mountain. You should do this quickly and go down the mountain to invite Xie Lingyun. When the time comes, you will definitely be rewarded by the prince."

Drive Zhang Chen down the mountain first, and then I will naturally find a way to kill him. As a martial arts master, can't I kill an ordinary person?

Zhang Chen looked at Wei Yingwu, sneered in his heart, but said calmly: "So it's for this matter. I actually troubled you to make an extra trip. But you don't know that I am not qualified to influence Xie Lingyun? You are making things difficult for me."

"Don't play tricks on me. I don't care about that. Now that the prince has spoken, you must help him solve his problems and get things done beautifully. Otherwise, don't blame me for not making things difficult for you for the sake of our fellow disciples." Wei Yingwu said arrogantly.

The little kid on the side was furious when he heard this, and was about to stand up and retort, but Zhang Chen calmly held him down, then smiled and said, "I'll do as you say."

"You're at least sensible." Wei Yingwu snorted coldly, then turned and left.

"This bastard actually dares to be so arrogant. I'll teach him a lesson! Does he really think he's superior just because he's marrying the prince? He's just a lackey, and he dares to talk to us like this." The little kid said angrily.

"He just wants to please Zhang Xiaohua. He is just an insignificant little person. Don't pay attention to him! Leave this matter to me. I will make sure he gets his comeuppance." Zhang Chen touched the little boy's head.

But he knew the reason of the matter. It was definitely not the excuse Wei Yingwu gave at this moment. The other party must be because of what happened this morning.

"Okay! Okay! I still believe in your methods." The little kid nodded obediently.

The two returned to the courtyard. Xiao Douding continued to practice hard, while Zhang Chen thought about how to kill Wei Yingwu. Now that Wei Yingwu had challenged him, it meant that he had doubted him and the matter could not be resolved peacefully. The Huangli Temple was shrouded in the aura of gods. Once he took action, he would definitely attract the attention of the mysterious aura, which was not worth the loss. However, Wei Yingwu dared to provoke him. If Zhang Chen did not punish him, he would not be able to swallow his anger.

After thinking about it for half a day, Zhang Chen finally came up with an idea, which was to find a way to lure Wei Yingwu out of the foot of the mountain and then kill this guy secretly.

The only thing he had to make sure of was the fox. He must not have any fox following him, as he was afraid he would not be a match for that vixen.

That night
Zhang Chen came to the main hall again and looked at the footprints left by the pilgrims during the day. He took out a rag and wiped them carefully, then came to the sculpture to steal the power of incense again.

However, as Zhang Chen absorbed the power of the incense and saw it being devoured and transformed into mysterious power, he suddenly had an idea: "This power can be used to convert skill points, restore mana, and assist in cultivation. My Hesha magic is still a little short of maturity. I wonder if this power can be used to help me complete the cultivation of Hesha magic?"

Thoughts flashed through Zhang Chen's mind, and then he poured the swallowed power into the Heng and Ha acupoints. Then the magical runes in Zhang Chen's Heng and Ha acupoints flashed, and he actually began to swallow up the mysterious power transformed from the mouthpiece. The fortune in the Heng and Ha acupoints surged, and a mysterious power continued to flow and agitate, and countless runes were born and died.

In the black whirlwind, a mysterious black rune chain quietly formed, and in the vast yellow sand, a mountain made up of runes rose from the ground.

After a night of hard training, Zhang Chen retracted his mouthpiece when the morning bell rang. He sighed quietly, "This night of devouring is equivalent to my ten years of hard training. I have finally mastered the art of combining sands. I can test its power as soon as I find an opportunity."

At this time, Zhang Chen hurriedly jumped off the platform, left quietly, returned to the courtyard, called Xiao Douding, discussed with Xiao Douding how to harm Wei Yingwu, and then walked out of the courtyard.

After finishing the morning class with Xiao Douding, Zhang Chen glanced at the crowd and saw Wei Yingwu. Then a golden light flashed in his eyes. After confirming that the other party did not have the scent of the fox, he winked at Xiao Douding. The two of them approached Wei Yingwu inconspicuously, walked slowly ten steps away from Wei Yingwu, and talked quietly. Then the mischievous Xiao Douding deliberately shouted: "You said Xie Lingyun wants you to go...", and then quickly lowered his voice and whispered to Zhang Chen.

Sure enough, the sound of the two people talking could be heard, and Wei Yingwu's attention was immediately attracted by the vague word "Xie Lingyun", so he tilted his ear to eavesdrop.

Zhang Chen mastered the ultrasound. Although his back was facing Wei Yingwu, he was aware of Wei Yingwu's movements. So he lowered his voice and spoke intermittently, which was heard by Wei Yingwu:
"Then Xie Lingyun... the magic... the palace... the plot... I will go down the mountain immediately..."

Wei Yingwu couldn't hear clearly because he was standing far away, and he wanted to step forward anxiously, but at this time Zhang Chen and Xiao Douding stopped talking and no longer spoke. Then Zhang Chen and Xiao Douding parted ways, and Zhang Chen walked hurriedly and stealthily towards the mountain gate all the way.

Wei Yingwu looked at Zhang Chen's back, his mind racing, recalling those seemingly true but not true words, and was secretly surprised: "There is a secret! A big secret! If I can uncover this secret, I will definitely be appreciated by the prince. And Zhang Chen's going down the mountain is also an opportunity for me to eliminate hidden dangers."

Thinking of this, Wei Yingwu followed him out quietly without leaving any trace.

The two of them left the Taoist temple one after the other. There were countless disciples and pilgrims coming in and out, so they were not very conspicuous.

However, the more Zhang Chen walked, the more desolate the mountains became. Wei Yingwu became more and more agitated, thinking to himself, "Well, this guy is really up to no good, otherwise why would he run to the desolate mountains?"

Just when Wei Yingwu was excited that he was about to uncover a big secret, he did not notice at all that there was a drop of bright red blood in the mud in front of him. When he stepped over the drop of blood, the drop of blood on the ground suddenly turned into a blood shadow and pounced into Wei Yingwu's body.

Wei Yingwu offered no resistance and was killed in the first encounter.

Ordinary people are completely powerless in the face of mysterious power.
