Chapter 536 Ninth Level Skill: Charcoal Fire
Hearing Chen Ping's words, Zhang Chen smiled complacently: "What a coincidence, I happen to have mastered a sealing magic, so it won't be a problem to seal that guy for seven or eight days."

"Brother, you are so capable. You kept it a secret from me. It was so hard for me." Chen Ping smiled bitterly.

"Eat meat." Zhang Chen added a bowl of meat to Chen Ping. "You didn't ask me, the five of us mother and son are roaming the world and are still alive and well. We must have strong abilities. You didn't expect it, so you can blame me?"

The bitterness on Chen Ping's lips became even more intense. He just said, "It's good to be alive! It's good to be alive! I originally wanted to return to Jinling to repay you, but now it seems that you don't need me to repay you. I will need you to protect me in the future."

While the two were talking, Chen Ping finished eating all the stewed meat, then looked at Zhang Chen and said, "Brother Zhang, let's say goodbye now."

Zhang Chen was stunned when he heard this: "Aren't you going back to Jinling with me?"

"I lost the marker and I need to find it back." Chen Ping drank the last sip of broth, a hint of coldness in his eyes.

Zhang Chen's eyes showed a trace of worry. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Chen Ping say, "Good brother, you don't have to worry about me. There is a branch of my Dragon Tiger Escort Agency in the territory of Pingbei Hou. I will naturally have experts to support me when the time comes, but I can't go to Nanjing with you. With your current ability, it is not difficult to go to Nanjing. But when you get to Nanjing, remember to look for me so that I can do my best to be a good host."

"Of course I remember." Zhang Chen nodded.

"I'll leave now!" Chen Ping slowly stood up.

Zhang Chen did not try to persuade him any further, because he knew Chen Ping's physical condition. After taking the elixir made by Xu Erniu, he had almost recovered.

That is the elixir refined by Xu Erniu, how could it be an ordinary thing?

Chen Ping said goodbye and left. The girl supported Chen Ping gently, and the two disappeared into the darkness, leaving Zhang Chen looking at the bonfire in front of him. He no longer had to dare to light a bonfire as he did in King Pingbian's territory.

At this time, the sounds of birds could be heard in the darkness, and unknown wild beasts were roaring in the night. Although it seemed eerie, Zhang Chen felt extremely at ease. Here he no longer had to worry about monsters lurking in the dark.

Zhang Chen sat cross-legged in front of the campfire, tightening his animal skin, with a thoughtful look in his eyes, and then looked at his own gold finger page:

[19th skill (level 1000000000): a sun fire ember (100000000/)

One drop of Emperor's Liquid can be converted into 100,000 Solar Embers experience points (10 drops of Emperor's Liquid can be converted into 50,000 points). Zhang Chen can absorb about ten drops of Emperor's Liquid a day. Now, several months have passed, and after deducting the rainy days, the Emperor's Liquid for feeding the bumblebees, and the time wasted sometimes, after all, it is impossible for a person to absorb the essence of the sun non-stop throughout the day. It is a rare opportunity to be able to use half of the time to absorb the essence of the sun.

After passing the Tiger Soul Pass today, Zhang Chen’s experience points were completed and converted into 100 million experience points.

One million a day. With this calculation, it won’t take much time to upgrade this skill with the cooperation of Emperor Liujiang.

All in all, starting from the small village in the north, including the delays along the way, it took about two hundred days, just enough time to accumulate enough points.

[19th skill (level 1000000000): a sun fire ember (100000000/)

[Status: Upgradable]

Zhang Chen looked at the gold finger page and clicked it without thinking: "Upgrade."

[19th skill (level 1000000000): A charcoal fire in the sun (/)

A simple introduction made Zhang Chen's eyes light up. Charcoal fire in the sun?

Charcoal fire is much better than embers! They are two completely different states!
Although charcoal fire is in a state after the flame is extinguished, it can be easily re-burned as long as fuel is added, and the temperature inside the charcoal fire is extremely high. Although it does not have the scattering power of the flame, its internal temperature is not lower than the flame. It just has not reached the ignition point, but it is not much lower than the ignition point.

"This is my first ninth-level skill. I wonder how powerful it is." Zhang Chen looked at the golden finger interface in a daze. Now in this damn world, he finally had a little power to protect himself. Even if facing a ninth-level Yangshen Zhenren, he, Zhang Chen, was no longer a completely running ant on the ground.

"It's not easy! If I had mastered this skill in the beginning, I wouldn't have had such a miserable life in the North." Zhang Chen sighed quietly, with an inexplicable emotion and unspeakable tiredness in his voice.

After wrapping up his tiger-skin coat and adding some firewood to the campfire, Zhang Chen turned around and went into the tent: "I won't practice today. I'll just sleep and relax. It can also be considered a celebration."

He was very happy in his heart. According to the current speed, in a few years, his first tenth-level skill would be developed soon.

It took him 200 days to develop a ninth-level skill, and if the ninth-level Solar Charcoal Fire wants to advance to the tenth level, it requires 1 billion experience points. In other words, as long as he works hard for another 2,000 days, he should be able to develop a tenth-level skill.

Two thousand days is only seven or eight years!

Others have been struggling in the Yang Shen realm for seven or eight years, but what about me?

How could Zhang Chen not be excited since he had already mastered the power of the tenth level?

"I will stay in Jiangnan for ten years. After I develop a tenth-level skill, I'll see who dares to speak loudly to me." Zhang Chen felt very happy. Although he did not test the power of his own solar charcoal fire, the power of solar charcoal fire was definitely not weak.

“When I reach the tenth level, if nothing unexpected happens, I should be able to generate the true fire of the sun.” Zhang Chen speculated in his mind.

As for the night watch?
Need a night watch?

With the Blood God's clone around, there is no need for Zhang Chen to keep watch. In the past, Zhang Chen kept watch only because he wanted to absorb more essence from the sun and the moon.

The Blood God Son turned into a drop of blood, lurking on the green grass outside the tent, hanging on the branches and leaves of the green grass like a drop of crimson dew. At dawn the next day, Zhang Chen had already climbed out of the tent and ran to an open space to absorb the purple energy of the sun. His skills had now entered the ninth level, and he was ambitious and full of energy.

Zhang and others got up one after another, but did not make breakfast directly. Instead, they practiced martial arts or practiced visualization first. After they finished their practice, they prepared breakfast.

Today's breakfast is still meat soup.

"Brother, can we please stop eating meat? I've been eating meat every day along the way and I'm about to vomit. Can we eat some rice? Now that we have left King Pingbian's territory, why don't we go to the city and exchange meat for some rice?" Zhang Fei couldn't stand the hardship and complained while drinking the meat soup.

"We are gangsters now and cannot enter the city. How can we exchange it for rice for you?" Zhang Chen said unhappily.

The so-called hooligans are people who have no place to live and no house. Hooligans are people who have no formal job.

This is how the word "rogue" is interpreted in this world.

"We can go to a nearby village to exchange some." Zhang, who was standing next to him, rarely interrupted and it was obvious that she was tired of eating meat.

Zhang Chen looked at the stewed meat in his hand and felt a little sick of it. After all, who can stand eating meat every day?

"Let's wait and see!" Zhang Chen said helplessly.

But he knew that those villages were extremely xenophobic and if he was not careful he would be caught and reported to the police.

No matter where it is, in order to maintain stability in the area, the crackdown on gangsters is extremely severe.

Rogues are good at committing crimes, burning, killing and looting, and are the most destabilizing factor. Once they are caught by the government, they will be labeled as slaves and will never be able to turn over a new leaf.

The person who reported it would receive a large reward from selling slaves. This was a way to make a fortune and was also an extremely effective management system for the ancients.

After breakfast, the family drove the carriage to a distant place. However, after walking for half a day, Zhang Chen encountered another problem: "I don't know the way!"

The way to the south is easy to find, just keep going south, but it is extremely difficult to find Jinling accurately without taking the wrong path.

As for asking someone?
The common people of that era seldom went to even the county town on weekdays, so how could they know about Jinling, which was thousands of miles away?

So during the lunch break, Zhang Chen stood in the sun to absorb the essence of the sun, with a confused look in his eyes: "I need a guide now."

As for the refugees who went south together, they had no purpose at all. They all rushed south together. As long as they could reach the water town in the south of the Yangtze River, how would they know which city in the south of the Yangtze River they were going to?

"This is difficult!" Zhang Chen missed the satellite maps from his previous life very much.

"Have you encountered any difficulties?" Seeing Zhang Chen standing in the sun with a sad face, Zhang put down the spoon, walked over and asked.

"I'm lost and don't know the way south to Nanjing." Zhang Chen smiled bitterly.

Zhang was speechless after hearing this, and after a moment she said, "We still need to find someone to lead the way."

"Where can we find someone to lead the way?" Zhang Chen asked.

"The escorts who travel all over the country, or the merchants who travel locally, should know the way from south to north and may be able to point us in the direction." Zhang said.

Zhang Chen scratched his head. His pockets were empty, so how could he afford to hire someone to show him the way?

"It would be nice to have a map." Zhang Chen muttered to himself again.

If there was a map, he could probably follow it and he could also find the direction.

"I need to go into the city tomorrow and buy a map to Jinling." Zhang Chen made a decision in his mind.

As for the issue of being a hooligan?

That's not a problem! With his escaping skills, who can catch him? Who has the ability to find out where he came from?

Zhang Chen muttered to himself, then ate lunch and continued on his way.

As for money? It's not difficult. Just find some prey and sell them for money.

As for stealing, Zhang Chen disdained it as it was not in line with the Tao in his heart.

While helping the people to pass the Hupo Pass, Zhang Chen realized the changes in his own character and the mystery of "practice" and "attestation".

He has already realized his true nature. Once the true yang is born, the next step is to keep practicing, adhering to his own nature, and keeping his true yang untainted by dust.
