I picked up skill fragments in the demon world.

Chapter 117 The wonders in the spiritual world!

"I need to consume soul power just to walk in this endless void?"

Zhang Chen stood where he was, looking at the light in the darkness with a look of confusion.

He was becoming more and more confused about the dark world before him and had no idea where this place was.

Logically speaking, this should be my spiritual world. When I practice in the spiritual world, I should be constantly strengthening and nourishing my soul. How come I suddenly fell into darkness and even consumed the power of my soul?

"This consumption is not very fast." Zhang Chen sensed it carefully, and then chose to continue approaching the light spot.

In this mysterious dark world, he felt that if he wanted to solve the mystery, perhaps by getting closer to that light, he would be able to know the answer he wanted.

The darkness was endless, and Zhang Chen didn't know how fast he was walking. He just walked in the darkness with a numb face.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, Zhang Chen's soul gradually became tired, and sleepiness welled up in his heart. The feeling was just like the sleepiness that came up when riding in a car, which was simply impossible to resist.

As his soul became weaker and weaker and his power became less and less, Zhang Chen became more and more sleepy.

"No, I can't sleep here. Once I sleep here, I'm afraid something big will happen." Zhang Chen had an instinctive intuition in his heart. His instinctive intuition told him that once he fell asleep here, unpredictable things would happen, putting himself in danger.

"Huh? This is my own spiritual world, how could I have such a premonition? I am sleeping in my own spiritual world, how could there be danger?" Zhang Chen was a little puzzled by the warning in his heart.

Just as he was thinking, suddenly a shout shook the entire dark world. The sound wave was as mighty as the creation of the world, directly tearing the entire dark world apart:
"Zhang Chen, what time is it? You are still sleeping! Do you still want to practice?!"

Zhang Chen opened his eyes and suddenly felt a pain in his ears. He saw the little kid looking at him angrily, with a white and tender little hand pulling his ear: "Do you still want to practice? Do you still want to become a master?"

Zhang Chen looked at Cheng Yu's fiery eyes and his gaze fell on the corner of Cheng Yu's mouth. There was actually a trace of dried saliva, which clearly showed that this girl had just woken up.

He glanced at the sky outside. He realized that he had only explored the spiritual world for a short while, but four or five hours had passed in the outside world?
Moreover, at this moment, there was an indescribable feeling of fatigue in my spirit, as if I was carrying a heavy yoke, which made me very uncomfortable.

"Don't pull me, don't pull me. I was just too tired from the long journey and I accidentally overslept." Zhang Chen quickly held the girl's slender hand and explained.

Hearing Zhang Chen's words, Cheng Yu looked him up and down with his black and white eyes for a while, and then said: "Your explanation makes sense, I will let you go for now, but you are not allowed to be lazy in the future. You must know that martial arts depends on diligence, and diligence can make up for one's shortcomings, which is the long-term way. After all, people with talents like me are rare in the world."

"Is it time for dinner?" Zhang Chen looked at the sky outside and asked.

"What are you thinking about? Do you understand the principle of not eating after noon? Our Taoist temple only has breakfast and lunch, no dinner." Cheng Yu said while stroking his belly, which was a little flat.

"I will arrange your errands today. From the master to the ordinary disciples, everyone in our Taoist temple has errands to do." Cheng Yu looked at Zhang Chen with a pair of black and white eyes, and then said, "Now there are eight kinds of errands in our Taoist temple. The first one is to clean the courtyard, which is the easiest. The second one is to wipe the statues in the temple every day and be responsible for cleaning the temple. The third one is responsible for cooking in the kitchen. The fourth one is responsible for vigilance, the fifth one is responsible for clearing wasteland and farming, the sixth one is responsible for fetching water from the mountains, the seventh one is responsible for preaching and performing rituals at the foot of the mountain, and the eighth one is responsible for being a guard for people who go down the mountain to earn revenue for our Taoist temple."

"Forget about the first type, cleaning the courtyard, as leaves often fall from the trees, and you don't even have time to take a break. The third type is cooking in the kitchen, and not everyone can squeeze in. The fourth type is responsible for vigilance, and you must at least master the hidden power. The fifth type is too tiring, as you will have no free time to practice under the wind and sun. You cannot go down the mountain for the seventh and eighth types, so the best choice you can make now is the second type, cleaning the statues in the temple and being responsible for the cleaning work in the main hall." Cheng Yu blabablah analyzed for him.

Zhang Chen was quite satisfied with this job. Although cleaning the hall was a bit tiring, he had a lot of free time. He could also be lazy and clean it every two or three days, and it wouldn't be noticeable.

"There are 372 palaces of various sizes in our Huangli Temple. Each person is responsible for one. I have chosen a small one for you, so you can take the opportunity to slack off when the time comes. The palaces we are responsible for are next to each other, so we can take care of each other." Cheng Yu blinked at Zhang Chen.

"You are also responsible for cleaning the Taoist temple?" Zhang Chen was stunned when he heard that.

Looking at Cheng Yu, who is only five years old, can that little guy get the base of the statue?

Cheng Yu said with a bitter face: "This is the rule set by the temple master, and I can't escape it."

"I have finished my instructions. You practice a few more times and I will call you tomorrow morning. Remember, at 5 a.m. tomorrow, our Taoist disciples need to do morning lessons. You should go to bed early tonight to avoid oversleeping."

Cheng Yu gave these instructions while yawning as he walked upstairs, slammed the door shut, and went back to sleep.

Zhang Chen took a look at the sky outside, lit the oil lamp in front of the table, then practiced some boxing and kicking in the house, and practiced the True Dragon Frame several times. However, he always felt mentally tired and couldn't muster up the energy, so the effect was not very good.

At this moment, his spiritual world suddenly flickered slightly, and Zhang Chen's own visualization picture appeared out of thin air in his mind. He saw that the treasure bottle in the visualization picture seemed to be filled with a bottle of moonlight, which was poured out directly at this moment.

The moonlight sprinkled on his soul, and an indescribable comfort, along with bursts of osmanthus fragrance, spread through his mouth and nose. With the sprinkle of moonlight, Zhang Chen's originally depressed spirit suddenly perked up. He felt that he was twice as energetic and there was no problem even if he didn't sleep all night.

It felt like being injected with adrenaline. I was full of energy, but I couldn't fall asleep.

If you can't sleep, then don't sleep. Zhang Chen practiced the True Dragon Frame for more than ten times. Apart from stretching his muscles, he didn't gain anything else. The mastery of strength depends on the skill of grinding ink with water, which can't be rushed. So after drawing groundwater to wash up, he sat cross-legged on the bed and continued to visualize the round sky and square earth diagram.

He had to understand the map of the round earth and square sky. This was his own spiritual world and his own soul. If something uncontrollable happened, it would be extremely troublesome.

Zhang Chen sat cross-legged on the bed, relaxed his body, and entered the state of visualization again. He saw his spiritual world changing, and he came to the dark void again.

Nothing to say, just keep walking!
Zhang Chen continued walking in the dark. At this time, he was full of energy and felt that he was walking very fast.

I don't know how long I walked, but the light spot in front of Zhang Chen's eyes kept getting bigger, from the initial imperceptible to the size of a peanut, like a light spot flickering in Zhang Chen's spiritual world. At this time, Zhang Chen just felt tired and exited the visualization world again. A piece of moonlight fell into the house.

Zhang Chen looked at the moonlight shining into the room, his heart moved involuntarily, an idea came to his mind, then he got out of bed and slowly walked to the window illuminated by the moonlight, pushed the window open completely, and let the moonlight completely fall into the room.

Zhang Chen looked up at the moon in the sky, but felt that the moon in the sky was very bright.

The moon in this world is as big as a pot cover and looks very bright. Even at night it is not very dark. It is like a small low-wattage light bulb. It is dim but you can definitely see the words in the book clearly.

Zhang Chen walked slowly to the window, stared at the bright moon in the sky for a while, then sat cross-legged in front of the window. The next moment, the silk cocoon formed by the crystal core in his body vibrated, and then all the moonlight within a few inches around him was distorted and absorbed into his body.

As the moonlight entered the body, the blood-red crystal core silk cocoon began to become active, and strange symbols began to flash. The symbols were silver-white and looked very strange.

"Absorbing the moonlight can speed up the evolution of the crystal core, so is this the shortcut to open the bloodline evolution?" Zhang Chen looked at the crystal core silk cocoon absorbing the moonlight, and a hint of thought appeared in his eyes: "I just don't know if my soul can absorb the moonlight from the outside world."

Unfortunately, he had no ability to control the moonlight, nor the ability to control souls. The only thing he could do was to practice visualization under the moonlight.

As Zhang Chen entered into meditation again, he saw that the Aquarius Seal in his spiritual world also changed. The Aquarius Seal emitted a pulling force, and the moonlight that came from the void actually appeared and turned into mist, which was absorbed by the Aquarius Seal.

"The speed of absorbing moonlight is at least thirty times faster! My physical body absorbing moonlight actually has an impact on the speed at which my spiritual world's visualization diagram absorbs moonlight?" A thought flashed through Zhang Chen's mind at this moment. He didn't know whether it was his practice of visualization under the moonlight that accelerated the absorption of moonlight, or it was his own activation of the crystal core to plunder the power of moonlight that accelerated the absorption of the crystal core.

Thinking in his mind, Zhang Chen exited the visualized world, and then his consciousness returned to his body. He stopped the crystal core from absorbing the moonlight, and then entered the visualized world again.

Sure enough, as Zhang Chen's spirit returned, he immediately noticed something unusual. The speed at which his soul absorbed the moonlight slowed down again and returned to normal.

"There seems to be an inexplicable connection between my crystal core absorbing the moonlight and the spiritual world visualization diagram absorbing the moonlight, but I don't know what the difference is, and I haven't found this connection yet." Zhang Chen's eyes showed a hint of thought, and then he urged the crystal core to absorb the moonlight again and entered the state of concentration again. At this time, the bottle was full of moonlight, which was poured directly on Zhang Chen's soul. Zhang Chen's originally listless soul was now full of energy and enthusiasm, as if he had endless power, and ran straight towards the light.

The darkness was endless, but Zhang Chen had inexhaustible strength. He changed from walking to running. When his soul was tired, suddenly the moonlight fell from the darkness, injecting a powerful vitality into Zhang Chen's soul again, making Zhang Chen full of energy.

Zhang Chen didn't know how long he had been running, he only knew that the moonlight was filled up five times and his soul was restored five times.

At this time, the light spot that was originally the size of a peanut turned into the size of a fist, but the distance between the two sides was too far, and Zhang Chen still couldn't see clearly.

Zhang Chen continued to run when he saw this. Suddenly, the familiar voice in his spiritual world sounded again, breaking through the darkness and waking Zhang Chen up: "Zhang Chen! Get up and do your morning lessons."

The little kid upstairs woke up again.

"I'm here." Zhang Chen was startled out of his meditation and looked up at the moon in the sky. It was only three or four in the morning, and he didn't feel tired at all after not sleeping all night.

But the little boy was dressed neatly and neatly, and then he led Zhang Chen to the largest martial arts field in the Taoist temple. Three thousand disciples were lined up in order and practiced boxing in unison under the moonlight.

However, the disciples were tired and looked sleepy, and were not in a very good condition.

Zhang Chen only knew three moves, and he and the little kid stood at the back and imitated them randomly.

After punching three times to get the blood flowing, the disciples dispersed, began to wash, and then started morning lessons, coming to the outside of the main hall to chant scriptures together.

Zhang Chen had just arrived, so how could he have learned any scriptures? He could only hum along beside the little kid.

"What we are chanting is the Huangting Sutra. I will teach you to memorize it when we have time." The little kid explained to Zhang Chen and began to chant praises with the other disciples in a strange accent.

Zhang Chen listened carefully, but did not see any skills entered, and a hint of disappointment appeared in his eyes.

After the chanting was finished, the sky was already bright, and then the disciples were seen holding their rice bowls and rushing towards the cafeteria.

Seeing that Little Bean was too slow, Zhang Chen hugged him. Zhang Chen was holding Little Bean in his arms, and Little Bean was holding two wooden basins in his hands. The two of them were the fastest this time!

After all, Zhang Chen has mastered the art of blood-sucking and does not know how to get tired. Whether it is short-distance running or long-distance running, who can compare to him?
Zhang Chen ran very quickly and had a rich breakfast, two coarse flour buns and some porridge with wild vegetables.

"Zhang Chen, you're great. I didn't expect you could run so fast!" The little kid followed Zhang Chen contentedly, holding a bucket full of rice porridge, his voice full of praise.

Zhang Chen smiled and said, "Needless to say? I'm not exaggerating, but when it comes to running away, there aren't many people in the world who can compare to me."

After breakfast, the two went to clean the dust in the hall.

Zhang Chen was in charge of a small house which was not very big. Looking at the statue, Zhang Chen did not waste time using the water control technique. There was something weird about the Huangli Temple, so it was better for him to keep a low profile.

After cleaning up the Taoist temple, the day's tasks were completed, and then it was time to practice martial arts.

Time passed quickly, and a month went by. On this day, Zhang Chen fell into a state of meditation again, and huge waves surged in his heart.
