Chapter 121: Transformation of the Physical Body

Zhang Chen looked at the silver-white light in his blood, which turned into silver-white talismans, rushing back and forth in his blood, constantly shaking his meridians, penetrating into his flesh and blood, and transforming his flesh and blood.

“I wonder what abilities I will gain from this evolution?” Zhang Chen was curious.

While the little kid was trying hard to wipe the sculpture, his tiny body holding a huge pole seemed extremely uncoordinated, but he tried hard to maintain his balance and wiped the sculpture clean.

But she was very worried about Zhang Chen. After wiping for a while, she immediately went back to look at Zhang Chen. She stretched out her little hand and placed it on Zhang Chen's forehead to feel Zhang Chen's warmth.

"Don't worry about me, I'm fine! I suffered from a disease in my childhood and have sequelae. I will be fine in seven or eight days." Zhang Chen forced a smile to comfort the little kid.

When Xiao Douding heard this, his eyes were filled with tears: "Really? You didn't lie to me? It's really a genetic disease, not caused by being beaten with a stick?"

"Of course." Zhang Chen said with a smile.

Xiao Douding looked at Zhang Chen seriously for a while, then turned back to his work.

"Children are easier to appease." Zhang Chen looked at the little kid and laughed in his heart.

After the temple was cleaned up, the two came to the place where incense was made. However, Zhang Chen's fingers hurt at this time, so he naturally didn't work. The little boy tried hard to hold the grinder, vanilla and other materials to make incense, and he looked particularly hardworking.

The little kid was working, and Zhang Chen was lazily lying beside him. Someone couldn't stand it anymore, and a disciple looked at Zhang Chen with a gloomy face: "Brother, is it really okay for you to ask a child to work for you?"

"It's none of your business! You nosy fellow, get out of my way now, or I'll slap you to death."

Without waiting for Zhang Chen to speak, the little kid immediately started scolding, causing the disciple's face to turn blue and red, and finally he sat down with a frustrated look on his face.

At noon, the little kid took a wooden bucket to get food, but he only brought two steamed buns and a bucket of porridge.

"I went too late. Our incense-making hall is too far from the kitchen. It looks like I'm going to go hungry again." The little kid came out of the door cursing, holding a bowl of rice.

Looking at the food brought by Xiao Douding, Zhang Chen had no appetite at all: "I have no appetite at all, you can eat this steamed bun and porridge!"

Upon hearing this, Cheng Yu's eyes suddenly became red and tears began to flow.

"What's going on?" Zhang Chen looked at the little kid who was crying for no reason and asked in confusion.

"Your condition must be very serious. You can't even eat. It's all your fault that you took the beating for me, causing your old illness to flare up. Zhang Chen, you won't die, will you?" Cheng Yu cried.

Zhang Chen shook his head and stroked the little kid's head gently. "Don't cry. I'm fine. Wait seven or eight days and you'll know."

"Really? You really didn't lie to me?" Cheng Yu looked at Zhang Chen with tearful eyes, her eyes full of anticipation.

"Of course!"

Zhang Chen smiled and nodded.

Cheng Yu burst into laughter upon seeing this and started eating with a happy look on his face.

As time passed, the disciples of Zhixiangtang disliked Zhang Chen even more. After all, exploiting a child laborer was really a disgrace to men.

However, Cheng Yu has mastered the power of transformation. Although he is young and his strength is a little lacking, he can definitely kill someone with a slap. He is definitely a great master in the Taoist temple. Although everyone can't stand it, they are all blocked by Cheng Yu.

That night
Cheng Yu refused to go back to his room to sleep and insisted on sleeping in the same bed with Zhang Chen, fearing that Zhang Chen would wake up in the middle of the night.

Zhang Chen had no choice but to ask Cheng Yu to stay by his side. However, who knew that in the middle of the night, Cheng Yu slept like a pig, and entangled himself in Zhang Chen's arms, hugged Zhang Chen's neck, and rode on Zhang Chen's body, which made Zhang Chen quite helpless and he didn't know whether to laugh or cry for a while.

In the middle of the night, Cheng Yu suddenly woke up, and with sleepy eyes he stretched out his hand to feel Zhang Chen's breath. When he realized that Zhang Chen was still alive, he felt relieved, and then he leaned into Zhang Chen's arms and continued to sleep soundly.

Cheng Yu fell asleep, but Zhang Chen did not, because the severe pain was constantly stimulating his brain. He could not even enter a state of concentration and could not practice the "Diagram of the Square Heaven and Round Earth".

Time passed quickly, and as Zhang Chen's condition became more and more stable, Cheng Yu gradually felt relieved. However, Zhang Chen had not had a drop of water in the past seven days, which made her a little worried, fearing that Zhang Chen would starve to death.

In the early morning of the eighth day, with the bright moon hanging high in the sky, Zhang Chen in the bedroom suddenly opened his eyes. A ray of moonlight shone through the window onto the floor. At this moment, it seemed as if it had come alive. The moonlight twisted and turned towards Zhang Chen and penetrated into his body.

The blood cocoon in the body disappeared, and a silver-white crystal core, about the size of a grain of rice, moved around in Zhang Chen's body.

The crystal core was silver-white in color, emitting a cool glow like the moon. There were countless mysterious runes engraved and flashing on it, making it look very mysterious.

The blood control technique is still the blood control technique, and its level has not been upgraded, but one of Zhang Chen’s abilities has been completed: transforming into a bat.

No matter whether it is day or night, as long as you think about it, you can turn into a vampire bat and fly away.

As for the control of the moonlight just now, it was nothing more than the instinctive power he acquired. He can now absorb the moonlight up to a distance of ten meters.

Looking at Cheng Yu who was entangled with him like an octopus, Zhang Chen's body flashed and turned into thirty-six vampire bats. They flew out of the window, flapped their wings and soared in the sky.

“I can transform into thirty-six bats at a time. As long as one of them survives, I will not die!” Zhang Chen transformed into a bat and soared in the sky. After more than thirty breaths, he had already arrived above the blue sky and white clouds, overlooking the entire Taoist temple and the endless mountains and rivers. An idea arose in Zhang Chen’s mind: Should I just run away?
After thinking about it, he decided to give up. Zhang Chen wanted to cultivate immortality, and there were many things in the Taoist temple that were worth his covetousness, such as: martial arts. For example, the Huangting Sutra. For example, the place where the Huangting Sutra was discovered.

Zhang Chen transformed into a vampire bat and flew under the moonlight. He discovered that vampire bats not only had ultrasonic positioning capabilities, but also had excellent vision.

The moonlight was like flowing water, and the bat's wings were flashing with silvery white symbols. The symbols were mysterious, absorbing the moonlight between heaven and earth, nourishing Zhang Chen's crystal core. Zhang Chen was flying in the sky, and he felt as if he had thirty-six pairs of eyes. How could he describe that feeling? There was no sense of discomfort, just like the feeling of seeing things with one eye and with two eyes, only that he felt that he could see things more comprehensively, without that sense of visual confusion.

Thirty-six vampire bats spread out in the air, constantly increasing the distance between them. Countless mountains passed by under their feet. Ultrasonic waves were used to detect the mountains and rivers, and the terrain within a radius of dozens of miles was clearly detected by him. This could be regarded as a way for him to leave a way out for himself in the future.

Then the vampire bat transformed by Zhang Chen returned and was about to fly towards the Taoist temple, but suddenly a wave of inexplicable power came from the sky above the Taoist temple, which made it dizzy and dazzled, as if it was hit by an inexplicable force, and the bat's body fell directly into the Taoist temple.

"What the hell is this thing!" Zhang Chen was horrified. If it fell from a high altitude, even if he turned into a bat with wings, he would be smashed into a pulp.

Fortunately, Zhang Chen is not an ordinary person. At the critical moment, the crystal core in his body flickered, forcibly stabilizing his blood and qi. Then he quickly glided onto the bed, and thirty-six vampire bats turned into the appearance of Zhang Chen.

Zhang Chen on the bed suddenly opened his eyes, and with lingering fear, he pushed Cheng Yu, who was entangled with him, away, then opened the door and walked out of the room. A golden light flashed in his eyes, and his Dharma Eye opened at this moment.

When he transforms into a vampire bat, he becomes a vampire bat with the ability to control blood. Skills such as the Light of Righteousness in his body will inexplicably disappear, as if they did not exist. Only when he transforms into a human again will his other abilities return.

Zhang Chen opened his Dharma Eyes to see if there was anything strange about the Huangli Temple, but he almost overturned the vampire bat he had transformed into.

As Zhang Chen's Dharma eyes opened, he suddenly saw more than thirty golden lights rising into the sky, and a strong fragrance of incense surrounded his nostrils. The fragrance did not act on his body, but directly entered his soul.

The thirty or so golden lights were some thick and some thin. The thick ones were like water tanks, and the thin ones were as thin as hair.

"The smell of incense! It's exactly the same as the smell of incense on Elder Wu? But the aura is much weaker than Elder Wu's. Could this be the mystery of Huang Tiandao's sacrifice?"

"Is it a god? Or is it just the gathering of incense?" There was a hint of horror in Zhang Chen's eyes.

Then, before his eyes, dozens of wisps of incense smoke suddenly rushed up into the sky, as if passing through the void and entering some mysterious place, until the last ray of divine light disappeared, and then everything returned to normal.

"If those dozens of light beams are the power of incense, then was there a mysterious existence absorbing the incense just now? This Huang Tian Dao is really weird." Zhang Chen stood in the moonlight, pondering in silence.

The aura of the dozen or so rays of light was very similar to the light of his own righteous god, but they were fundamentally different. Although both were equally glorious and righteous, one seemed to be born naturally, while the other seemed to be pieced together and cut later, and there was no comparison at all.

"The aura of incense and divine power." Zhang Chen sensed the light of the righteous god in his body, and a thought flashed through his mind: "Could my light of the righteous god be divine power? Innate divine power?"

Zhang Chen closed his Dharma Eyes and stood in the courtyard. Suddenly he felt a tingling sensation on his skin. He poked it with his hand and another large piece of skin was torn off.

He's shed his skin again!

Upon seeing this, Zhang Chen hurriedly walked into the room, carefully looked at the little kid on the bed, and then slowly tore off the human skin off his body. It felt like tearing off a layer of restraint.

Zhang Chen was in a dilemma when he saw the skin torn off. What should he do with it? He didn't dare to keep it. If someone else got it, they might have some strange way to curse and harm others with the hair or other objects that fell from their body, which would harm him.

"I'm just very hungry. I haven't eaten for seven or eight days. I'll eat some bones today." Zhang Chen summoned a fox spirit and made a gesture to silence it. The fox spirit understood what Zhang Chen meant and disappeared into the darkness the next moment.

Zhang Chen didn't have to wait long before he saw the vixen coming back with a pot of meat, this time it was a pot of ribs.

Zhang Chen looked at the ribs and his stomach rumbled. Then he saw Zhang Chen first cast a light shield made of water vapor to cover the stove in the room.

He was going to burn the human skin, which would definitely produce a strange smell. He would first cover it with a water mask to restrain it, and then mix it with the smell of stewed meat, which would definitely be able to deceive the little kid.

Then Zhang Chen used his magical powers to draw clean water to wash the meat, lit the fire, and began to burn the human skin to stew the meat.

Zhang Chen looked at the little kid on the bed. The little kid had not slept well in the past seven days. Today he slept as soundly as a pig, and even snored slightly.

Zhang Chen shook his head upon seeing this. He had a good impression of the girl. Apart from being able to eat a little, there seemed to be nothing wrong with her.

Seeing that the skin was cooked and the aroma was coming out of the pot of stewed meat, Zhang Chen removed the protective shield formed by the water flow and let the aroma of the stewed meat spread in the house.

"Baji~baji~"

The little kid on the bed began to smack his lips, and the sound of his saliva was particularly conspicuous in the silent room.

Suddenly, at some point, the little kid woke up with a start, and subconsciously reached for the bed. After finding nothing, he sat up in shock, and quickly called out, "Junior Brother!"

"Why are you shouting? I'm here." Zhang Chen said unhappily while sitting in front of the fire.

"Are you stewing meat? Are you okay?" The little kid climbed down from the bed barefoot, ran to Zhang Chen, stroked Zhang Chen's skin which had returned to normal temperature, looked at the rolling ribs, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

You can see that the little kid is very happy, not just ordinary happy!
Zhang Chen’s illness was cured, and he had pork ribs to eat again. Is there such a good thing in the world?
"Thanks to you these days." Zhang Chen looked at the little kid, pulled him over to sit on his lap, then held him in his arms. Looking at the big blisters on the little tender palms, his eyes showed a hint of emotion.

Xiao Douding clenched her palms to prevent him from seeing the marks on her hands. At this time, she scolded him with a stern face: "You are my junior brother. As your senior sister, isn't it my duty to take care of you?"

Zhang Chen smiled when he heard this and patted the little kid's head: "It's indeed what you should do."

"Zhang Chen!!! You are not allowed to touch my head!!! I am your senior sister!!! Children will not grow up if they are touched on the head." The little bean was like a hedgehog with its hair blown up. He glared at Zhang Chen and then got out of Zhang Chen's arms: "Don't hug me like this in the future. I think it's inappropriate to hug me like this! It doesn't seem right! I'm not your daughter, how can you hug me like this?"

"Okay, okay, I won't hold you! I won't hold you! It's time to eat!" Zhang Chen said nice things to fool people. As he spoke, he took the little kid in his arms and hugged him, as if to fool the child:
"Come, I'll pick out the biggest piece of meat for you as a reward for taking care of me these days."
