I picked up skill fragments in the demon world.

Chapter 471: The Heart of Magnetic Energy
What Zhang Chen admired most about Xie Lingyun was her intelligence. Xie Lingyun's intelligence was not only in his ability to judge the situation, but also in his self-knowledge.

Xie Lingyun would not recognize these ancient characters unless she invited people from various noble families to decipher them, or handed them over to the imperial palace. But how much of the translated content would fall into her hands? It was just some superficial information and scraps.

It would be better to leave the book to Zhang Chen. Given the relationship between the two, if Zhang Chen can translate something useful to me, he will definitely give it to me.

Zhang Chen did not object to Xie Lingyun's proposal, but scanned the bookshelf in front of him. Because this place contained the earth's magnetic force, the books on the bookshelf had not been affected by time, and the quality was still the same as before.

However, it would be a hassle to take so many books away.

Zhang Chen did not focus on the books, but came to the pool and saw that the marrow of the earth in the pool had dried up. Zhang Chen thought about it and saw the wall of the pool rolling, and then an object the size of a pigeon egg emitting white light slowly floated up.

"What treasure is this?" Xie Lingyun's attention was drawn to it.

"This is the Earth's Magnetic Heart that I mentioned. It can be said to be useful, but it can also be said to be useless. It can absorb all metals between heaven and earth, so it can be considered a rare treasure." Zhang Chen turned his head and looked at Xie Lingyun: "I'll take the books, and you can give this Earth's Magnetic Heart to your sister."

Xie Lingyun stared at the Earth's Magnetic Heart for a moment, then shook his head: "This thing is useless to me, you should keep it for yourself. I am now striving to reach the realm of Yang God, and I should not be distracted. I am already satisfied with the piece of the sun fragment, so don't be too greedy."

Xie Lingyun's voice was filled with emotion, and she sighed. It was a great favor from heaven that Zhang Chen gave the sun fragment to her.

This place was discovered by Zhang Chen. Even if Zhang Chen had kept it directly, I would not have been able to say anything. Zhang Chen said that he gave it to me to save face, but if I really took it, it would be ignorant.

The most important thing is that this thing cannot be preserved. It absorbs metal from the sky and earth everywhere. How can she preserve it? If she walks on the road, she will be stabbed to death by the flying metal.

Zhang Chen smiled upon hearing this, and said without being polite: "It is really useless to leave this thing to my sister. It is somewhat useful for me to hold it in my hand. Besides, this Earth Magnetic Heart can only be sealed by the innate energy. Even if I give it to my sister, you can't take it out."

Zhang Chen mobilized the innate yin and yang energy, and saw the innate yin and yang millstone turn, absorbing the heart of the earth's magnetic field. Only the power of innate yin and yang can suppress the power of the heart of the earth's magnetic field. Even the innate five elements of energy cannot suppress the power of the earth's magnetic field.

"Are there any other treasures in this secret room?" Xie Lingyun's eyes sparkled, like a treasure-hunting rat.

"No more! How could the Immortal Patriarch take ordinary treasures seriously?" Zhang Chen shook his head.

"How do we transport these books? That's a real hassle." Xie Lingyun looked at the books on the bookshelf and shook his head in distress.

Zhang Chen said: "I have a way."

Zhang Chen began to ask Xie Lingyun to move all the books down and pile them up together to form a three-meter-high pile of books. Then Zhang Chen controlled the earth's magnet with his mind, and then the magnet wrapped around the entire pile of books like water, wrapping it tightly like a natural magnet without any gaps.

"How do you carry such a large object?" Xie Lingyun asked.

Zhang Chen smiled and said, "It's not difficult! It's not difficult! When the time comes, I can naturally take it away."

Magnets are waterproof, and the weight of the book is less than ten thousand pounds. It is not difficult for Zhang Chen to move the book with his mountain-moving skills. The difficulty lies in Zhang Chen preparing a small boat and avoiding being discovered.

Seeing Zhang Chen's confidence, Xie Lingyun did not ask any more questions. Zhang Chen said, "Sister, come with me. There is another good place here. Maybe there will be some unexpected gains."

Zhang Chen thought of Xu Erniu's alchemy room, and wondered if Xu Erniu had any remaining elixirs left.

Zhang Chen was the first to walk out of the underground secret room and came to the ground buildings. Following the location in his memory, Zhang Chen came to Xu Erniu's alchemy room. Looking at the ruins of the alchemy room, he activated the water control technique in his mind, and saw the mud and sand on the ground cleared, and a huge alchemy furnace appeared in front of the two.

Looking at the broken bottles and jars on the ground, Xie Lingyun's eyes lit up: "This looks like the legendary alchemy room of the immortal cultivator!"

"Sister, you have a good eye." Zhang Chen said with a smile, "However, with the passage of time, I wonder how much good fortune can be preserved in this alchemy room."

Zhang Chen walked forward slowly, looking at the broken bottles and jars on the ground, and the countless black "coal balls" rolling on the ground. They were all the elixirs refined by Xu Erniu in the past, which turned into rotten things under the invasion of the long river of time.

"There are so many pills, but it's a pity that they're all wasted." Xie Lingyun looked at the discarded pills on the ground with a hint of regret in his eyes.

Zhang Chen smiled when he heard this: "With my current level of cultivation, even if the elixir is still there, it is useless to you."

At this point, Zhang Chen paused and suddenly said, "That's not right..." Later, Xu Erniu returned to the Taoist temple with great accomplishments. It is very likely that she was refining pills in the Taoist temple. How incredible was Xu Erniu's cultivation at that time? Even the twelfth-level senior brother was killed by Xu Erniu. If that girl could refine pills, it would be incredible.

Zhang Chen came to the furnace and saw that the furnace was still sealed, without any breath leaking out. To put it in the words of later generations, the objects in the furnace had not been exposed to the outside air and had not yet oxidized. If he could refine the elixir in the furnace before it oxidized...

Zhang Chen's heart was pounding, and he looked at the alchemy furnace carefully. The alchemy furnace was sealed, so there must be elixirs that were not finished, or elixirs that had been finished but not taken out.

"This is an alchemy furnace. This furnace is sealed and there may be elixirs inside." Xie Lingyun walked around the alchemy furnace and said to Xie Lingyun.

"Sister, if your soul leaves your body, can it pass through the barrier of the alchemy furnace and enter it?" Zhang Chen asked.

Xie Lingyun stroked the furnace with his fingers, and after a moment he shook his head: "No! The furnace contains mysterious power, and my Yin Spirit cannot pass through it."

"Is the only way to open the alchemy furnace from the outside? But if something goes wrong, the pills in the furnace will rot, and then all my efforts will be wasted." Zhang Chen felt a little conflicted.

He doesn't have the skills to evacuate.

So Zhang Chen turned his head and looked at Xie Lingyun, with a hint of temptation in his eyes: "Sister, do you have any ideas?"

Xie Lingyun shook his head when he heard this: "I can't do anything about it. You think too highly of me."

What else can Zhang Chen say now that things have come to this?
The alchemy furnace is so big that the two of them cannot move it. The furnace weighs tens of thousands of pounds and Zhang Chen's mountain-moving skills are useless. Rather than leaving it here and being discovered by others, it is better for the two of them to break the furnace first.

"We can only force open the furnace." Zhang Chen said.

"We have to be more careful. If there is a curse in the alchemy furnace, something terrible might happen." Xie Lingyun said with lingering fear as he thought of the unpleasant things that happened in the Tomb of the Imperial Daughter.

Zhang Chen was slightly hesitant when he heard this: "That shouldn't be the case, right?"

Based on his understanding of Xu Erniu, Xu Erniu should not be that kind of person. But there was no guarantee that Xu Erniu would leave a backup plan when she left in a hurry. In case the monks of Wuzhuang Temple were not completely dead, she could use the alchemy furnace to design something. This was also unknown.

God knows how much psychological trauma the incident that year left on Xu Erniu?
If Xu Erniu's weak mind is distorted and causes her to become mentally abnormal for eight hundred years, it would be bad luck for her to open the alchemy furnace.

"Let's clean up the ruins first and see if there are any clues. Maybe we can find the recipe for the elixir." Xie Lingyun saw the confusion and hesitation in Zhang Chen's eyes and offered suggestions to Zhang Chen.

Zhang Chen nodded upon hearing this: "That makes sense."

Then the two began to clean up the objects in the ruins. Not long after, Xie Lingyun held a broken copybook in his hand and said to Zhang Chen: "Zhang Chen, come and see, there is an important discovery."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Chen looked at the calligraphy copybook and saw that it was two meters long and about a meter wide. The entire copybook was already in tatters, with tiny characters written on it. Every stroke of those characters was filled with murderous intent, like a sharp sword that was about to cut through the sky.

“Ah…” Xie Lingyun screamed, and the calligraphy in his hand fell. His Yin spirit turned pale, and even became a little illusory:
"This calligraphy is so murderous! I only took one look at it and felt like a sharp sword came across time and space, almost chopping me to pieces."

The Yin Spirit is originally a spiritual body, and is extremely sensitive to all kinds of qi, but at this moment it was actually hurt by the calligraphy.

Zhang Chen glanced at the calligraphy on the ground with a serious expression. You know, Xie Lingyun's cultivation is infinitely close to Yang Shen, but the other party can't even take a look at the calligraphy. What kind of overbearing will is this?
Zhang Chen picked up the calligraphy on the ground, held it in his hand, took a look at it, and was stunned on the spot.

He was very familiar with the handwriting on the copybook; it was Xu Erniu's handwriting, but between each stroke, there seemed to be endless hatred, as if it could split the heaven and earth in half and level the universe.

There were thousands of characters on the copybook, with repetitive handwriting and only three contents: Why!
"Why?" Zhang Chen looked at the calligraphy with a hint of astonishment in his eyes, especially the words between the lines, which not only contained earth-shaking resentment and murderous intent, but also contained demonic intent.

Looking at the calligraphy in his hand, Zhang Chen felt worried: "Xu Erniu is about to be possessed by a demon! And it's not just serious. A demon is about to be born in her heart."

"But why did she write so much?" Zhang Chen was puzzled: "Why did she become possessed?"
