I picked up skill fragments in the demon world.

Chapter 294 Deprivation
Gu Mingyue glanced at the sword in his hand with a hint of regret in his eyes, because the dirty power on the sword was dissipating rapidly, and in two or three days it would turn into an ordinary iron sword again.

So he threw the iron sword back to Zhang Chen, and had already made up his mind: "This kid has obviously been secretly planning something, otherwise why would he borrow the power of the Inspection Office to specifically break Zhang Xiaohua's protective magic? This kid has bad intentions and is really ambitious."

After Gu Mingyue found out the cause, she lost interest in Zhang Chen and turned around and left.

If it weren't for the fact that this kid still had a relationship with Xie Lingyun and was still of some use to Huang Liguan, he would have already killed this audacious idiot who dared to ruin his plan.

Gu Mingyue came and left in a hurry, leaving Zhang Chen standing in the yard, looking at the sword in his hand in silence.

"What does that old man mean?" Cheng Yu walked out of the house and asked.

"Practice hard in the future and strive to achieve enlightenment as soon as possible!" Zhang Chen did not answer Xiao Douding's words, but touched Xiao Douding's head meaningfully: "If we have the strength of the Yang God realm now, why should we suffer here?"

Zhang Chen turned around and went back into the house, quietly infiltrated underground, and continued to devour the Taoist temple's incense and faith, venting all his grievances on the incense and faith. He had to get back at the anger he had suffered in the Taoist temple.

On the third day, Liu Feng walked out of the building with a gloomy face, and Zhang Chen underground also quickly crawled out of the mud.

Now Zhang Chen is constantly using the water control technique to sense the entire courtyard. The entire courtyard is filled with water vapor. If someone walks in, the water vapor will definitely be pushed and alarm Zhang Chen underground.

"Where is Zhang Chen?" Liu Feng asked while standing in the yard.

Zhang Chen walked out of the house, came to Liu Feng, and bowed respectfully to Liu Feng: "Disciple greets the master."

"Grandmaster Gu Mingyue has ordered that you severely injured your fellow disciple in the arena competition, causing Chu Mingyue to become a cripple. You have no martial virtue at all. Your character is flawed and your virtue is not worthy of your position. You are not fit to become a Star God, so today you are deprived of the reward for first place in the competition and the qualification to become a Star God."

Zhang Chen was stunned when he heard this, his eyes full of astonishment. He never expected that the Taoist temple would be so ruthless.

He originally thought that even if the Taoist temple wanted to deprive him of the first place in the competition, he would have to give compensation. But who knew that Gu Mingyue would be so ruthless?
Zhang Chen clenched his fists in his sleeves, stood there with a sullen face, staring at his toes without saying a word.

"Chu Mingyue became a eunuch, which is a lifelong harm to him. Moreover, you almost hurt the young prince during the competition. Although the palace did not hold you accountable, we still have to give them an attitude. You should be thankful that you are still alive. If it weren't for Chief Xie's face and care, you would have been tied up and handed over to the Pingbian Palace for punishment." Liu Feng looked at Zhang Chen with a lukewarm expression on his face.

Zhang Chen took a deep breath upon hearing this, wishing he could tear Liu Feng's face off. He had thought this guy was a good person before, but who knew he was so unkind and ruthless, not leaving him any chance at all.

"You should also understand the painstaking efforts of the ancestors. After all, we have to preach in the territory of King Pingbian. If King Pingbian yawns, our local Huangtian Dao will tremble. Don't you think about it? If we offend the Palace of King Pingbian, where will we get the power of incense? Without the power of incense, where will the throne of God be conferred? Where will the extraordinary power come from?" Liu Feng began to act like a good guy at this time. His expression softened and he comforted Zhang Chen:

"Zhang Chen, you have to understand the difficulties of the Taoist temple. The Taoist temple is a big family with a great business. It always has to take care of all aspects and take care of everything. Personal honor and disgrace and interests are not worth mentioning in the face of the great situation of the Taoist temple."

Hearing Liu Feng's words, Zhang Chen suppressed his anger, raised his head with a fake smile, and said in a very obedient and sensible manner: "Disciple understands."

His Dharma eyes could see that as Liu Feng conveyed the Dharma metaphor, the luck belonging to the star god above his head was taken away and returned to the Huangli Temple.

"The fate of the star god belongs to the Taoist temple, not one's own fundamental fate. It feels bad to be stripped away by someone else's words. But let's wait and see! If I don't ruin your deification ceremony, I will write my name Zhang backwards." Zhang Chen was secretly savage in his heart.

Seeing that Zhang Chen was quite 'sensible', Liu Feng nodded in satisfaction and patted Zhang Chen on the shoulder, saying: "I know your identity and background. For someone like you who has climbed up from the bottom, being able to have enough food to eat is already the greatest luck. Don't covet those things that don't belong to you. Don't even look at them! Otherwise, it will only make you more miserable."

Liu Feng turned and left after he finished speaking, leaving Zhang Chen standing in the yard gritting his teeth in hatred. He then took a deep breath, with a hint of coldness in his eyes: "Okay, okay, you guys are going to play this way, right? Then don't blame me for being ruthless. Next, I want to see if Huang Liguan and Pingbian Wangfu will turn against each other."

At this time, Zhang Chen didn't even have the intention to devour the incense. Instead, he used the infiltration technique to sneak out of Huangli Temple and came to the Bagua Furnace in secret. He asked the guards hiding in the mountains to send a message to Xie Lingyun, and then went to check the Bagua Furnace himself.

The flames in the Bagua furnace were blazing. Three layers of the restrictions on the small ball had been shattered, and the restrictions were shattering faster and faster. However, Zhang Chen was still a little dissatisfied. He felt that it was too slow. The Divine Whip could not be refined for a long time, which made him anxious.

The North is now a powder keg that seems like it could explode at any time, which makes him feel uneasy. If the war spreads to this place, he will lose more than he gains.

The fox fairy Nannan was sitting cross-legged in the cave, bored. When she saw Zhang Chen coming, she opened her eyes, took a look, and then continued to practice.

With the improvement of her beast taming skills, the strength that Fox Fairy Nannan can exert becomes stronger and stronger. Based on her own improvement in the past few days, she judged that Zhang Chen's strength should have improved again.

"Is this kid a freak? Others may not make any progress after practicing for several years or even more than ten years, but this kid has made progress and broken through in just a few months. He is truly a freak." The fox fairy Nannan cursed secretly in her heart.

Just as the fox fairy Nannan was muttering, Xie Lingyun, dressed in white as a man's clothing, arrived.

Xie Lingyun came in person, followed by hundreds of armored guards.

"You called me here in a hurry again, but what's the matter?" Xie Lingyun came to Zhang Chen and looked at him with a smile.

"I got a treasure and want to give it to you, sister." Zhang Chen took out the Yellow Spring Water that he had prepared long ago and handed it to Xie Lingyun. "You have helped me a lot, and I wanted to find some gold and silver treasures to repay you. Then I thought that you don't need those common things, so I found this thing. I hope you don't dislike it."

Xie Lingyun took the jade bottle and asked in surprise, "What is this? It's so mysterious?"

Then he pulled out the cork. The next moment, Xie Lingyun's face changed drastically. He couldn't help but exclaimed in disbelief: "Water from the Yellow Spring!!! This is Water from the Yellow Spring!!!"

"Water of the Yellow Springs???" The fox fairy Nannan, who was meditating in the cave, suddenly opened her eyes, stood up excitedly, and wanted to rush out, but stopped again, just tilted her ears and listened quietly to the movement outside, and heard Zhang Chen say:

"It's the Yellow Spring Water, for sure. Sister, you have good eyesight."

Xie Lingyun quickly put the stopper back on, staring at Zhang Chen in disbelief: "Where did you get this treasure?" Then he continued: "This thing is really precious, you should keep it for yourself, I can't take it."

As he spoke, Xie Lingyun pushed the Yellow Spring Water over. Although his eyes were full of reluctance, he eventually overcame the greed in his heart.

Zhang Chen was very pleased to see this. He was sure that he had not misjudged Xie Lingyun. She was indeed a potential stock worth getting to know and investing in.

"Sister, please don't refuse. I still have this treasure. I have already reserved some of it in advance. It is enough for me to use!" Zhang Chen shook his head and did not take the Yellow Spring Water. Instead, he smiled and said:
"Sister, you can use this bottle of Yellow Spring Water first. If you run out, please tell me. We don't lack anything else, but this Yellow Spring Water is enough for us to use."

Upon hearing this, Xie Lingyun no longer refused, because this thing was also a very precious resource for her. It could be said that with the help of the Yellow Spring Water, her cultivation speed would be at least twenty times faster.

She accepted the treasure with peace of mind, and secretly made up her mind that she would find an opportunity to repay Zhang Chen in the future.

She did not ask Zhang Chen where he got the Yellow Spring Water. This kind of question should not be asked, no matter how good their relationship was. Asking would be tantamount to a falling out.

"With this thing, I will definitely pass the tribulation and enter the realm of Yang God within three years." Xie Lingyun carefully collected the Yellow Spring Water, his voice full of joy.

The realm of Yang Shen, that is the most top-notch combat power in the world today. Even within the Inspection Office, he is worthy of being the commander of a region.

Zhang Chen smiled and said, "Then I would like to congratulate you in advance. When you achieve Yang Shen Dao, I will cling to your thighs."

As he spoke, Zhang Chen looked at Xie Lingyun's legs. Those legs were slender and straight, like two chopsticks, making people drool.

Xie Lingyun smiled and talked to Zhang Chen for a few more words before Zhang Chen changed the subject and said, "There is something I need my sister to do for me."

"What's the matter?" Xie Lingyun patted his chest and said, "Just tell me, I'll handle it for you clearly."

"When you spread the news in the city, be sure to pass the news to the Pingbian Palace, saying that there is a secret room in the backyard of the Huangli Temple, and the Longevity Tree Coffin is likely hidden in the secret room." Zhang Chen reminded.

Xie Lingyun was stunned when he heard this, and looked at Zhang Chen in astonishment, as if he didn't understand what he meant.

"There is a secret room in Huangli Temple, and there is a big secret in the secret room." Zhang Chen explained: "The secret room is shrouded by a mysterious force, and even I can't get close to explore it."

"Is there really a Longevity Tree Coffin?" Xie Lingyun asked. This was the focus of her attention.

"I don't know!" Zhang Chen shook his head.

Xie Lingyun fell into deep thought after hearing this, and said after a long while: "The chief steward and the coffin of the immortal tree disappeared in the north. No matter how many people from all sides secretly investigated, they almost turned the whole earth upside down, but still could not find any trace. According to what you said, I think the coffin of the immortal tree may have really been obtained by Huang Tiandao, and it is also possible that it is hidden under the secret room."

Zhang Chen didn't know what to say at this time. He just wanted to provoke a conflict between Huang Liguan and Pingbian Palace. He must not accidentally help the other party.

"What do you mean, sister?" Zhang Chen asked.

"Huang Tiandao has many masters, and they also have Pingbian Palace as their helper. It would be a thankless task for me to deal with them. It would be better to pass on the news and ask Pingbian Palace to fight Huang Tiandao." Xie Lingyun's eyes were full of calculations: "Even if Huang Liguan tries to curry favor with Pingbian Palace, they will never give out something like the Longevity Tree Coffin that can make people immortal. If the two fight each other, we may have a chance."

Xie Lingyun has lost her inner demon, but she is kind-hearted and not naive.

"Are you sure there really is a secret room shrouded in mysterious power under the Huangli Temple?" Xie Lingyun asked again for confirmation.

"Of course I am sure and certain. How dare I talk nonsense about something that has no basis?" Zhang Chen said.

"I can send spies from the Inspection Office to investigate secretly." Xie Lingyun said thoughtfully.

The two talked for a while, and Xie Lingyun turned around and left in a hurry. Zhang Chen saw Xie Lingyun going away and was about to turn into a vampire bat and fly away, but at this time, the fox fairy Nannan rushed out of the cave and hugged Zhang Chen's arm directly: "Master~"

The voice was so coquettish and charming that Zhang Chen's kidneys trembled and almost erupted.

"What are you doing! What do you want to do, you vixen? Can you please speak properly?" Zhang Chen pushed the fox fairy Nannan away with a look of disgust on his face.

Although this vixen has fair skin, beautiful face and long legs, like the living Diao Chan, this is her own skill after all? Can she fuck herself? It's a joke!!!
"Look, I've been guarding the Bagua furnace here all day, and I also have to take time out to help you make gunpowder. Even if I haven't made any contributions, I've still worked hard, right?" The fox fairy Nannan said in a coquettish voice, looking at Zhang Chen pitifully with a pair of eyes that were full of coquettishness and seduction.

"So what?" Zhang Chen asked.

Fox Fairy Nannan did not answer Zhang Chen's words, but continued: "The most important thing is that your cultivation level is improving too fast. If it continues like this, the little fox will soon drag you down and become a useless waste. How can the little fox do things for you? How can I serve you attentively?"

"Speaking of the point!" Zhang Chen glared at the fox fairy Nannan. This vixen was too cunning. She was going around in circles and finding a lot of excuses.

"I just heard that you have the water of the underworld, and you can't use it yet? How about you give some to Nannan? Nannan will definitely be loyal to you in the future. If you ask me to beat the dog, I will never chase the chicken." The fox fairy Nannan raised her finger and swore.

Zhang Chen looked at the fox fairy Nannan with his eyes after hearing this. After circling around her, he said, "Want the water of the underworld? It's not impossible, but you have to do something for me."

Zhang Chen thought of the undercover agent and asked her to go to Zhang Xiaohua to be an undercover agent.
