I Collect Skill Fragments in the Demon World

As they got to the main topic, Zhang Chen rummaged inside his sleeve, and then a stack of gold ingots emerged from it, which he placed in order on the table, a total of ten gold ingots.

Seeing those ten gold ingots, Huang Chao paused in the middle of picking his teeth: "I just realized this meal was terrible, would it still be possible to vomit back what I've just eaten?"

"Of course it's possible, I'm merely proposing a deal, agree or disagree, it's entirely up to you. In my life, I have never forced anyone into anything, everything is based on mutual consent between you and me," Zhang Chen replied.

Next moment, Huang Chao suddenly punched his abdomen hard three times, starting a tumult that made Zhang Chen's face lose color, and he quickly pinched his nose and stepped back.

Now he knew, that Young Master was a true masterpiece, and Huang Chao was equally matched.

Both were peculiar.

After vomiting, Huang Chao turned and left without saying a word. Zhang Chen watched Huang Chao's back, retreating far and saying, "I think before you leave, maybe you should listen to what I want you to do, you don't have to be so decisive, listening won't cost you your life."

Huang Chao's footsteps finally stopped, then he turned to look at Zhang Chen: "I'm afraid that after I listen to what you've got to say, if I don't agree, I won't leave this restaurant today."

"I'm certain, even after listening to me, if you don't want to deal, I won't make things hard for you," Zhang Chen assured.

Huang Chao turned to look at Zhang Chen: "Go ahead."

"I would like to ask you to pass on a message for me, it must be spread far and wide," Zhang Chen said.

"You want to spread rumors? And the person being rumored about has a complex identity?" Huang Chao tentatively asked, "Otherwise I can't think of any rumor worth ten gold ingots."

"I'm not asking you to spread rumors, just to spread the message," Zhang Chen laughed.

Then Zhang Chen explained the message to be transmitted, and Huang Chao was taken aback: "That simple?"

"It's not that simple, once you spread the rumor, someone will definitely come to question you, and then you might suffer a bit," Zhang Chen did not conceal.

"You underestimate me. Once the rumor is spread out, I'll just find a place to hide for a while to avoid the limelight, and those who get the news but can't find me will personally go to verify the truth. Whether they find it's true or false, it'll have nothing to do with me, and they won't need to keep looking for me," Huang Chao said while stuffing each gold ingot into his trouser pockets, clothes hems, and sleeves, then looked at Zhang Chen: "If someone does find me, how should I answer? Whether the message is true or false?"

"The message is true! It is not a rumor at all," Zhang Chen said, "So you can confidently spread it, and if someone catches you, just tell them it's true, and that you overheard it while begging."

"If there really is an entrance to the Divine Demon Tomb, why do you spread the news?" Huang Chao asked with confusion.

"Because there is a great crisis inside, a crisis I cannot handle," Zhang Chen said.

"A big crisis comes with a big opportunity, can I go and take a look?" Huang Chao tentatively asked.

"You're not afraid of dying?" Zhang Chen was surprised, not expecting such ambition from the beggar.

Hearing this, Huang Chao laughed loudly: "Living as a beggar every day isn't fun at all, living a day or living seven or eight days makes no difference. If there's an opportunity for good fortune, I might get lucky, marry and have children, achieve wealth and honor; lose, and it's done once and for all, I'm alone anyway."

Zhang Chen looked at Huang Chao with new eyes, not expecting such insight from a mere beggar.

"If you're not afraid of dying, of course, you can go. I'll write you a note, and you can find Zhong Xiang to enter first," Zhang Chen said.

"Thank you so much, Master," Hearing this, Huang Chao wiped away his smile and respectfully bowed to Zhang Chen.

Zhang Chen was taken aback: "You really want to go?"

"Why not go?" Huang Chao asked back.

Hearing this, Zhang Chen took a deep look at Huang Chao, and directly pulled out a piece of yellow paper from his sleeve, and handed it to Huang Chao: "Take this rune paper, go to the mountain behind, if you encounter any armored warriors guarding, just take out this rune paper, and they will definitely not trouble you."

This rune was a Body-Stabilizing Rune drawn by Zhang Chen, he saw Huang Chao had some bearing, so he wanted to make a friend.

Zhang Chen handed the rune to Huang Chao's hand, then seriously said: "I must inform you, that cave is very dangerous, ordinary people going in will die. Consider carefully."

With a cautious expression, Huang Chao put away the rune, and when he looked at Zhang Chen again, there was no longer any frivolity in his eyes, but seriousness: "Living so dully, like a walking corpse, I've lived enough. Better to die at the hands of monsters, see this strange world, and witness other sights. If I can die at the hands of a monster, it would be an unusual death. If I don't die, I will eventually break out my own path, rewrite my life from now on."

"If I, Huang Chao, can walk out alive from within the tomb, you would be like my rebirth parents." Huang Chao solemnly saluted, then walked away proudly.

"Be careful, once your brothers have delivered the message, leave the city quickly to avoid being caught and encountering misfortune," Zhang Chen earnestly advised, he found Huang Chao quite agreeable.

"You think too much, there are many people in the world who are about to starve to death, as long as they can fill their stomach, they'll put life and death aside. Starving to death or being killed after eating, which do you choose?" Huang Chao asked rhetorically, and as the sound faded, Huang Chao disappeared from the building.

"Choose which? Of course, choose to be a full-fed ghost," Zhang Chen sighed softly, then looking at the messy table, quickly pinched his nose and left the inn.

Zhang Chen walked out of the restaurant, heading towards the inn where he stayed, he thought of visiting his mentor, but recalling Chen Sanliang's attitude towards him, he stopped the idea: "Forget it, I'll go see how Chen Sanliang fails when the debate starts."

Zhang Chen had personally met that Young Master, whose aura of vast righteousness was grand and magnificent, obviously a person with real knowledge, and Chen Sanliang was bound to suffer.

If judged by the amount of Vast Righteous Qi, Chen Sanliang has no chance of winning at all.

Once settled back at the inn, Zhang Chen quietly meditated and practiced, feeling grateful that the era was without divine spirits, cultivating Visualization Images would no longer anger divine beings, otherwise, the path of Qi Cultivator might fall at its very start.

Eyes closed, Zhang Chen cultivated Visualization Images until night fell. He felt today's moon particularly bright, and with his practice, he again entered the Meditation Realm.

"Don't know if I can enter that special time-space this time, if I do, I must prepare some backup plans, and discuss the Cursed Demon God matter with 'Earth'," a thought flickered in Zhang Chen's mind, then the next moment it was cut off, and he directly entered the meditation world.

"Hmm…"

Zhang Chen suddenly felt amazed because upon entering the meditation realm, he found himself in not the previous tribes, but in those familiar palatial ruins.

"Have I entered the ruins world again?" Zhang Chen looked at the black sand between heaven and earth, overhead a cyan lotus blossomed, Qi of Chaos draped down, protecting Zhang Chen and guarding his body from that black sand.

Upon entering the Spiritual World, the Golden Scissors seemed to awaken from slumber, transforming into two True Dragons, black and white, coiling within Cyan Lotus, absorbing and exhaling unseen breaths.
