#148 - Water mist
Facing Fox Spirit Nan Nan's doubts, Zhang Chen calmly said, "Old rules, you go around inside first and see if there are any dangers!"
This spiritual world is strange, maybe it's full of crises, Zhang Chen wouldn't easily set foot in it.
Most importantly, the water in front of him is of a certain grade, Zhang Chen can't control it at all, if something happens, it will be troublesome.
Fox Spirit Nan Nan's face turned green when she heard this, and her big eyes glared at Zhang Chen: "Are you still a man? How can you ask a girl to constantly take risks?"
"Correct one thing, you are not a girl, you are a female fox." Zhang Chen was not ashamed, but rather proud, his voice full of smugness.
Hearing Zhang Chen's words, the fox spirit gritted her teeth in anger, but she was helpless. Without waiting for Zhang Chen to order, she took the initiative to crawl into the underground secret room.
She was smart, knowing that even if she didn't come down voluntarily, Zhang Chen, that damned two-legged beast, would force her down. It was better to take the initiative and seize the initiative.
The fox spirit moved quickly, walked around the secret room, and then said to Zhang Chen: "There is no danger, come down quickly. I'm really impressed, I've never seen anyone as afraid of death as you."
Fox Spirit Nan Nan's voice was full of complaints and helplessness, and then she came to the yellow pool water, staring at the yellow pool water and fell into contemplation.
Seeing this, Zhang Chen drilled into the stone chamber, and then saw a yellow skill floating in the yellow pool water.
Not only were there yellow skills, but also a lot of experience points, like fish floating in the pool.
Zhang Chen looked at the pool water, a hint of excitement appeared in his eyes, he didn't expect that in this spiritual world, there would be experience points and skill points to gain.
Looking closely at the pool water, it was not that the pool water was viscous, but that the pool water was too turbid, and there seemed to be yellow grease flowing in it, which looked very eerie.
"What is this liquid?" Zhang Chen asked, he was ignorant and didn't recognize the origin of the water.
Fox Spirit Nan Nan looked at the pool water, a little unsure: "I don't know!"
No matter what the pool water was, he had to see what the effect of the pool water was first. Then, Zhang Chen directly urged Fox Spirit Nan Nan, and saw Fox Spirit Nan Nan jump into the pool water.
"Ah ~"
Fox Spirit Nan Nan screamed. Her own soul suddenly jumped into the pool water uncontrollably, which shocked her. Then, after reacting, she splashed in the pool water, glaring at Zhang Chen: "Two-legged beast, what are you doing? Are you still human? Is this something a human can do?"
Zhang Chen ignored Fox Spirit Nan Nan's scolding, but asked, "What is the effect of this pool water? Do you feel uncomfortable?"
"Uncomfortable? No?" Fox Spirit Nan Nan floated in the pool water, stopped scolding, then lowered her head and looked at the pool water, suddenly her face was surprised: "This spring water can purify the soul, it can purify the impurities in the soul, and wash the soul. This seems to be the legendary Yellow Spring water!"
Zhang Chen listened to the fox spirit's words, did not rashly go down, but asked, "Didn't you say you didn't recognize this spring water?"
"I didn't recognize it at first, but after jumping into it, I recognized it when I saw its function." Fox Spirit Nan Nan said to Zhang Chen: "This thing can wash the soul, making people's soul like a newborn, it's the most magical."
Zhang Chen didn't dare to jump in casually, for fear that this damned fox spirit would trick him. Instead, he carefully looked at Fox Spirit Nan Nan. After staring for a while, he saw that Fox Spirit Nan Nan's soul was indeed constantly being washed away by a trace of black energy. He was sure of the spring water's effect, so he also jumped down.
He mainly wanted the experience points and new skills in the water.
[Discover new skills, do you want to collect them?]
"Collect." Zhang Chen didn't even think about it, and said directly.
The next moment, a new skill panel flashed in front of Zhang Chen:
[10 Skills (First Order): Water Flow Transformation (0/1000)]
[Note 1: Can be transformed into water flow]
"Transform into water flow? This skill is a bit heaven-defying?" Zhang Chen looked at the new skill, a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes. If he turned into water flow, then many places would not be able to trap him in the future.
Looking at the upgrade only requiring a thousand points, Zhang Chen is very rich now, and directly upgraded the new skill, to see what surprises this water transformation can bring him.
A thousand points were deducted, and Zhang Chen's points were only 78,450 left. The next moment, the water transformation skill flashed:
[10 Skills (Second Order): Water Mist Transformation (0/10000)]
[Note 1: Can be transformed into water flow, and can also be transformed into water mist, a total of two forms]
At this time, the points required for the upgrade also skyrocketed. To upgrade from the second order to the third level, it requires a full 10,000 points.
Zhang Chen looked at the experience points in the pool, and his heart moved, all the experience points were collected, and then Zhang Chen's experience points soared again:
Experience points: 200,000.
Zhang Chen's experience points once again reached the 200,000 mark.
This 10 skill is really exciting to Zhang Chen, it is too heaven-defying. After all, not to mention turning into water flow before, turning into mist later is even more heaven-defying to the extreme.
At this time, Zhang Chen's 10 skill only needs 10,000 points to upgrade to the third level, and Zhang Chen's heart began to itch. He didn't know what changes would happen after the upgrade.
But Zhang Chen looked at his first skill, the Light of the True God. The Light of the True God needs 200,000 points to upgrade. As long as he upgrades, his Light of the True God can step into the fifth order. At that time, he will be considered a fifth-order powerhouse.
Moreover, his Water Control Technique, Talismans, Qi Training and other skills all need points to upgrade. Although he has many points, he can't waste them.
"What to do? Should I continue to upgrade?" Zhang Chen hesitated, thought for a moment, and chose to endure it for the time being, and see how the effect of this skill is after he goes out.
However, if he can turn into water vapor and water flow, it will be much more convenient to steal ancient tombs in the future. He can directly penetrate down along the soil, so why continue to dig the soil for a month?
"Stop soaking, get out quickly!"
Just as Zhang Chen was thinking about what skills to upgrade in the future, Fox Spirit Nan Nan's hurried voice rang in Zhang Chen's ears.
"What's wrong?" Zhang Chen came back to his senses and asked.
Without answering Zhang Chen's words, Fox Spirit Nan Nan had already climbed out of the pool, but her soul had shrunk by 30%, waving frantically at Zhang Chen in the pool.
Zhang Chen was shocked when he saw this, and quickly climbed out of the pool. Sure enough, his own soul had shrunk by two points and became much smaller.
Most importantly, Zhang Chen didn't even notice anything wrong with his soul at this time. Besides being comfortable, it was a feeling of floating like an immortal.
"What's going on?" Zhang Chen looked at the transparent soul of the fox spirit Nannan, and her shrunken form, and couldn't help but ask.
"According to the ancient books excavated by my fox clan from a large tomb in the past, there is a magical stream of water in this world, said to flow in a place called the Underworld. Its water can cleanse a person's soul, washing away all the aura and imprints in the soul, transforming it into the purest source of the soul, and then reincarnating. We were just immersed in the Water of the Yellow Springs. That Water of the Yellow Springs can indeed refine the soul and wash away the impurities in the soul, but in the end, it will only melt our entire soul, turning it into a blank slate without consciousness or information, and then reincarnate."
"We can use the Water of the Yellow Springs to cultivate and temper our souls, but we must not soak in it for too long," the fox spirit Nannan said with lingering fear.
Hearing the words of the fox spirit Nannan, a look of caution appeared in Zhang Chen's eyes. He extracted two key pieces of information: the Underworld and reincarnation.
"What is the Underworld?" Zhang Chen asked. He was a little excited, wondering if the Underworld in this world was the Underworld he knew in his previous life.
"The classics only have a few brief records, so I'm not sure. It is said to be a very mysterious place." The fox spirit Nannan lowered her head and looked at her transparent soul, her face not only not depressed, but full of joy: "One immersion in the Water of the Yellow Springs is at least equivalent to a year of hard cultivation for me."
"Isn't your soul shrinking? The power of the soul is declining, which should be a bad thing, but you are very happy instead?" Zhang Chen was puzzled.
"Our souls are like iron, and the Water of the Yellow Springs is like a furnace, tempering our souls into steel. Although the overall quantity has shrunk, the quality has been improved. Increasing the quantity is not difficult, as long as you persist in visualizing every day, you can always achieve it. But improving the quality cannot be done by simply stacking the quantity."
Speaking of this, the fox spirit Nannan looked at Zhang Chen: "For example, your current soul, after being tempered by the Water of the Yellow Springs three to five times, should be able to try to leave your body. It can save you ten years of hard work. Would you say it's a good thing or a bad thing?"
The voice of the fox spirit Nannan was full of excitement.
Hearing the words of the fox spirit Nannan, Zhang Chen showed a thoughtful look. So it's still a good thing?
"It's a pity that the Water of the Yellow Springs cannot be immersed in for too long, otherwise our souls will be dissolved," the fox spirit Nannan said with a hint of regret in her eyes.
Zhang Chen looked at the pool, and the spring gushing out the Water of the Yellow Springs: "If that pool is the Water of the Yellow Springs, then isn't that spring the legendary Yellow Springs?"
"Yellow Springs? Doesn't that mean that the spring connects to the legendary Underworld?" The fox spirit Nannan said.
Zhang Chen was silent upon hearing this, his eyes staring at the Water of the Yellow Springs, lost in thought.
To actually have unearthed the legendary Water of the Yellow Springs, it was indeed beyond his expectations.
"The magic power is about to be exhausted."
At this moment, Zhang Chen raised his head, his eyes looking at the blue lotus on his head. The next moment, Zhang Chen's soul returned to his body, and then Zhang Chen opened his eyes and looked out the window. The bright moon in the west had already risen, and the incense in front of him had already burned to ashes.
At this time, a wonderful feeling surged into his heart. In the past, he would feel very tired after entering the mental world, but at this time, after his soul returned to his body, not only was there no feeling of fatigue, but he felt full of energy and very spirited.
Zhang Chen slowly stood up, moved his arms and legs, and then found a trace of disharmony: his body had become very heavy.
"The body's movements are controlled by the soul. Now that the soul has shrunk, controlling the body's actions naturally seems weak. It's like a child's soul controlling an adult's body. That feeling of heaviness is enough to make people lose their balance." Zhang Chen tried his best to stand up straight. The next moment, his body turned into a pool of water, quietly appearing on the floor.
"Damn it, this Transformation Water Stream is completely different from what I thought. Transformation Water Stream really turns into a water stream, completely unable to move! This skill is so trash!"
The next moment, the water stream twisted for a while, turning into Zhang Chen's figure. At this time, Zhang Chen couldn't help but burst into curses.
Transforming into a water stream really just transforms into a water stream, completely losing the ability to move.
"If I transform into a water stream, I will have all the weaknesses and shortcomings of a water stream, such as being afraid of drought, being drunk by thirsty animals? Evaporating if the temperature is too high? Once any accident occurs, I will die?" Zhang Chen was a little dazed. What's the difference between having this skill and not having it?
Too trash!
Then Zhang Chen looked at the second form of the Ten Skills: Mist Transformation.
Zhang Chen directly flickered and transformed into a wisp of mist as thick as an arm, quietly suspended in the room.
The mist did not dissipate, but just floated in the air. As a gust of wind passed through the hall, the mist that Zhang Chen had transformed into actually flew away with the wind.
The next moment, Zhang Chen manifested his figure, and took a deep breath: "Damn, these Ten Skills are really too坑, turning into mist is really ordinary mist, with absolutely no difference from ordinary mist. Is this also considered a skill? It's completely useless!"
Useless skill!
"Upgrade!"
Zhang Chen didn't even think about it, and directly upgraded the skill. What's the use of keeping this trash skill?
[10 Skills (Second Tier): Water Mist Transformation (0 / 10000)] ————》 [10 Skills (Third Tier): Divine Mist Transformation (0 / 100000)]
[Note 1: You can plunder the characteristics of all divine waters you have come into contact with, and possess the 'divine' activity.]
[Note 2: Suffering a power strike that exceeds the upper limit will transform you back into human form.]
At this time, the golden finger interface flashed for a while, and the Ten Skills evolved into the third tier, and Water Mist Transformation became Divine Mist Transformation.
At the same time, the experience required for upgrading also skyrocketed tenfold, turning into 100,000 experience points.
The three words 'Divine Mist Transformation' immediately aroused Zhang Chen's interest: "As long as it is water that I have come into contact with, I can copy its characteristics."
Although Zhang Chen hasn't come into contact with many divine waters, there are two types: Weak Water, and the Water of the Yellow Springs.
"If I transform into water again, I can gain the characteristics of these two types. But how should that 'divine' activity be explained?" Zhang Chen was a little puzzled at this time.
He didn't understand what that 'activity' was.
However, he has come into contact with the Water of the Yellow Springs and Weak Water. As long as he experiments a bit, he can know what the so-called activity is.
"Divine Mist Transformation." Zhang Chen flashed, and actually transformed into a water stream again, but this time the water stream was completely different.
