Chapter 747: The Divine Whip Appears
"Brother Chen, why did it come to this?" Zhang Chen hurriedly helped Chen Ping up.

"Brother Zhang, you are my great benefactor and my second parent!" Chen Ping's voice was full of excitement.

After hearing what Chen Ping said, Zhang Chen's eyes showed a trace of emotion: "It is because of your kindness that you have planted the good cause! If you hadn't saved me back then, we wouldn't have met each other."

Zhang Chen was telling the truth. In this world where people eat each other, there are few kind people and even fewer kind-hearted powerful people.

"Back then, I only gave you a piece of grain. How could it compare to the blessing you have given me today?" Chen Ping held Zhang Chen's hand, his voice full of excitement.

"Let's not talk about that. We are good brothers. It would be awkward to say those polite words. Let's go drink together." Zhang Chen pulled Chen Ping into the house, then ordered the servants to set out the wine, and the two of them drank again.

After three rounds of drinking, Chen Ping, this wealthy young man, burst into tears with his tiger eyes, and told Zhang Chen about the pressure in his heart.

God knows how much pressure he has been under during this period?
His belongings were being targeted, his father was being plotted against, his position as heir was being eyed by others, one of his arms was crippled, and his martial arts muscles were also damaged. He had reached the lowest point in his life. It was Zhang Chen who gave him hope of survival at the critical moment, helped him cleanse his marrow and shave his hair, complete his physical transformation, and regain his strength.

Zhang Chen understood the pain in Chen Ping's heart, so he did not say anything to comfort him, but just let Chen Ping vent his emotions.

Finally, Chen Ping, in a drunken state, was sent back by two servants sent by Zhang Chen.

Zhang Chen looked at Chen Ping's receding back and sighed softly as he stood outside the gate. He knew that Chen Ping was pretending to be drunk, but was using drunkenness to express his true gratitude.

A real man, without the help of three ounces of rice wine, would not be able to utter many "sentimental" words.

"Things at the Dragon and Tiger Escort Agency have been stabilized for the time being. Gong Hei and Fourth Uncle Gong of the Gong family are under my control. Chen Ping can also live a peaceful life." Zhang Chen said silently in his heart, then turned around and went back into the house.

He helped Chen Ping only because Chen Ping was a good man, and a good man should not suffer such a consequence.

With the departure of Chen Ping, Zhang Chen's life became stable again.

On the fifth day, Huang Chao came to visit. As soon as he entered the yard, he began to chatter: "Zhang Chen, I always feel that something is wrong. There is something wrong with Gong Hei and Gong Sishu from the Gong family."

Zhang Chen was sitting in the room making tea. After hearing Huang Chao's words, he looked surprised and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Recently, blood has often appeared on their bodies in the middle of the night. The blood is filled with a foul and ominous aura. Something is wrong!" Huang Chao said to Zhang Chen.

Hearing Huang Chao's words, Zhang Chen turned his head and looked at him in surprise. He was not surprised that Huang Chao noticed something was wrong with the two of them, but that his own Blood God Son did not even notice Huang Chao who was secretly monitoring him when he took over Gong Hei's body. It can be seen that this kid's transformation technique has become stronger again.

"You don't have to get involved in the affairs of the Gong family. I have already grasped the overall situation of the matter. If things break out in the future and you are involved, you will be in big trouble. As for the distribution of the Longevity Tree Coffin, if I succeed, we will split it 50-50." Zhang Chen said to Huang Chao.

Huang Chao had no doubts about Zhang Chen and believed in him even more than himself. After hearing what Zhang Chen said, Huang Chao was delighted: "I was wondering why the Gong family suddenly became like that. It turns out that you made a move without making any noise and tricked the Gong family into falling into your trap. I can't take that much, after all, I didn't contribute that much, I only need to take one tenth."

"We agreed to split it half each, so it's half each. The long-term plan between friends is to share the benefits equally. No matter who of us contributes more or less in the process, you have already given your all and done your best. The two of us should cooperate on an equal footing and share the profits equally. Otherwise, my guess is that our friendship won't last long." Zhang Chen said to Huang Chao very solemnly.

Huang Chao was stunned when he heard this, and after a long time he sighed: "You are indeed a friend worth making friends with. In this case, I will not be polite. We will see each other in the future."

Huang Chao admired Zhang Chen's courage and made a promise to him: "If you have any problems in the future, you can just wait and see whether I, Huang Chao, will step forward or not."

"Don't talk so much, let's drink." Zhang Chen invited Huang Chao into the house and said with a smile.

The long-term strategy between friends is to balance the interests of both parties.

Of course the most crucial thing is that Zhang Chen has mastered the authority of the Wood Element. If the Longevity Tree gives him a branch, and he has a hundred years in a day, it won't take long to shape a big tree, so he doesn't care how much is allocated to him.

After the two of them drank for a while, Huang Chao said to Zhang Chen: "Chen Sanliang has started to move south, heading towards Jinling City. It will take him about half a year to reach Jinling." "Is Chen Sanliang's injury healed?" Zhang Chen asked in surprise.

Huang Chao nodded: "I heard that Chen Sanliang's cultivation has made another breakthrough. After the breakthrough and then the recovery, all his injuries have been healed."

Zhang Chen's heart sank when he heard this. Chen Sanliang had made another breakthrough, which was not good for Zhou Qiucheng.

Moreover, Chen Sanliang did not come here calmly. He came here discussing Taoism all the way. All the academies along the way would serve as his nourishment. By the time he stepped into Jinling, his cultivation would skyrocket to an unpredictable level.

“I never thought that Chen Sanliang, an old scholar, could have come to this point today.” Zhang Chen sighed in his heart.

Huang Chao and Zhang Chen drank until midnight, then left in a hurry, leaving Zhang Chen standing in the yard looking at the bright moon in the sky in silence.

Since Huang Chao left, Zhang Chen's life has become peaceful. Every day, apart from reading books, he studies the laws of heaven and earth. His life is quite leisurely and comfortable. However, in Jinling City, he feels a sense of impending storm. The whole city of Jinling is surging, and there seems to be an undercurrent fanning the flames among the crowd.

"Chen Sanliang and Zhou Qiucheng are discussing Taoism, and I'm afraid something bad will happen. Huang Tiandao and the dignitaries who were driven out of Jinling City by Chen Sanliang will definitely not give up and want to jump out and cause trouble." Zhang Chen thought to himself.

Three months passed in the blink of an eye. One day, Zhang Chen was reading in the pavilion when he suddenly felt an inexplicable vibration from his waist. Startled by the vibration, Zhang Chen hurriedly took off the alchemy furnace from his waist. He carefully sensed the changes in the furnace and saw that the Mountain and River Origin Embryo in the furnace had shriveled up, with only a long jade whip left inside. At this time, colorful light burst out, and a powerful Taoist rhyme emanated from the Mountain and River Origin Embryo. Its aura passed through the furnace, making Zhang Chen notice it.

Zhang Chen carefully perceived the changes, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

"The entire mountain and river's primordial essence has been sucked dry by the Divine Whip, and the material of the Divine Whip has actually transformed." Zhang Chen looked at its body through the colorful rays of light, which was as white as mutton-fat jade. A hint of surprise appeared in his eyes.

As the Divine-Slaying Whip transformed, the aura emanating from its body became stronger and stronger, and the colorful rays of light became more and more intense. Finally, the entire mountain and river primordial embryo turned into powder, and only the Divine-Slaying Whip was wrapped in the colorful rays of light and appeared in the alchemy furnace.

As the Divine Whip appeared in the alchemy furnace, its energy rolled and raged in the furnace, like a violent storm.

"Not good, my alchemy furnace may not be able to suppress the aura of the Divine Whip!" Without even a second thought, Zhang Chen quickly used his escape technique to leave Jinling City and rushed to the outside of Jinling City.

While performing the escape technique, Zhang Chen took out the suppressing character and stuck it on the alchemy furnace. However, the energy of the divine whip became stronger and stronger, and the whole alchemy furnace kept humming and vibrating, as if it was boiling water that could break through the boiler and fly up at any time.

“The birth of such a treasure will surely cause earth-shattering phenomena. I wonder how much disturbance it will cause and how many people’s attention it will draw.” Zhang Chen felt a little uneasy. He did not expect that the birth of a treasure would cause such a stir.

“The treasure you refined is not simple. Once it comes out, it will definitely resonate with the mysterious laws of heaven and earth. Only after accepting the baptism and imprint of the laws of heaven and earth can it truly complete the transformation. This treasure of yours can be regarded as a top secret treasure even in an extremely ancient mysterious era.” The Great Freedom Demon appeared at the sleeve of Zhang Chen and said.

Zhang Chen was thoughtful after hearing this. After the treasure was successfully refined, it had to be blessed and baptized by the laws of heaven and earth. Only in this way could it mobilize the laws of heaven and earth and possess incredible power.

At this moment, Zhang Chen could only hope that the noise caused by his divine whip would be smaller, otherwise he would be in big trouble.

"Oh, by the way, I should cover up my body..."

Zhang Chen had no transformation skills, so he could only use ice to make a mask and wear it on his face. Then he took out the Buzhou Seal and hung it on his body, allowing the power of the Buzhou Seal to cover his entire body. He then gathered water mist to cover himself.

With the Buzhou Seal in place, no one would be able to detect his trace unless the other party personally broke the water mist.

Zhang Chen was seen walking three hundred miles out of Jinling City and came to a big mountain. The vibration of the alchemy furnace in his hand became more and more intense. When it was about to be suppressed, Zhang Chen retracted his escape light, stood on a big rock, and then opened the alchemy furnace casually. The next moment, a colorful light shot up into the sky and floated directly above the clouds.

Then, the divine whip resonated with the heaven and earth, and a vast and mighty glow of light covering the whole sky and earth rose into the sky. The colorful glow evolved into countless innate patterns, and its aura suppressed the area for thousands of miles, attracting countless powerful figures to cast their eyes over it.

"What is this? A twelfth-rank treasure?" Zhou Qiucheng in Jinling City suddenly stood up and looked outside the city with disbelief.
