    "Poof!" I saw this demonic order suddenly emitting a shining black light, and at the same time it suddenly expanded in size and became as big as a table, which startled Jiang Chen.  He gingerly circled around the enlarged Demon Token, and found that in addition to its enlarged size, there was also an obvious change, that is, a piece of white text appeared on the top plane.  Jiang Chen took a closer look and saw that the text turned out to be a question, which read: This Holy Ancestor is a person who pursues perfection. Even if he is a younger disciple of my Heavenly Demon Sect, if he cannot find the fifth perfection like me,  Even if you count, you can't discover the secret of this treasure Then let this treasure be passed down as a token of the head of our Heavenly Demon Sect!  "It seems that this is the puzzle left by the Demon Saint Ancestor." Jiang Chen thought to himself.  Then read on.  There are five rows of numbers on the tablet with white text flashing. The first four rows have already been written. It is probably to remind others what a perfect number is.  The first line is 6; the second line is 28; the third line is 496, the fourth line is 8128; and the fifth line is blank, with many shining white numbers floating and flipping on the surface of the tablet.  Jiang Chen was very excited at this time, because this meant that his mathematical knowledge in his previous life could be put to use.  He knew exactly what the numbers represented.  This is the perfect number mentioned by the Heavenly Demon Saint Ancestor, which is also called the perfect number by later generations of mathematics. The sum of the divisors of this number is exactly equal to itself.  The two most typical numbers are 6 and 28. The divisors of 6 are 1, 2, and 3, which add up to exactly 6.  The divisors of 28 are: 1, 2, 4, 7, 14, which add up to exactly 28.  The two numbers six and twenty-eight are highly respected in the world of immortality. Buddhism has always said that there are six reincarnations, and Taoism has always said that there are twenty-eight stars in the sky. This can be seen from this.  The third perfect number is 496.  The fourth perfect number is 8128.  The fifth perfect number is very large, it is 33550336, already in the tens of millions.  So it¡¯s no wonder that the previous masters of the Heavenly Demon Sect have never been able to understand the secret. Even the mathematicians of later generations took thousands of years to find it.  The reason why Jiang Chen knew this knowledge of perfect numbers was because he was very fascinated by mathematics when he was in high school and had read many interesting mathematics books, so he understood these allusions.  And he can remember the perfect number 33550336 because this number happens to be the same as his home phone number, so he can remember the number exactly.  He secretly thought that before him, there must have been several former sect leaders who had reached this step of solving the problem. However, they must have had difficulty finding the fifth perfect number, so they had never been able to understand the mystery.  But it happened to me that this mathematical problem that was extremely difficult for others could be easily solved.  "The Demon Saint Ancestor has a really weird temper today. He has given his disciples such a difficult problem. He is worthy of being an old monster from the Demon Sect I didn't expect that this would give me an advantage" Jiang Chen muttered.  , and then enthusiastically used his spiritual consciousness to manipulate the flashing numbers on the Demon Token, forming the number 33550336 in the blank space of the fifth line As soon as he lined up the numbers, he heard a loud "bang".  There was a loud sound, and the Heavenly Demonic Order emitted brilliant multi-colored light, so bright that he did not dare to open his eyes.  After a long time, the light gradually dimmed, and Jiang Chenfang opened his eyes tremblingly.  It was then that he discovered that there was a large opening on the tablet where the original question of the Demon Order appeared.  Jiang Chen penetrated his consciousness into it, but found that it was empty, with nothing inside.  The material inside is the same as the outside, it is also crystal clear, and there is nothing unusual except for the black luster.  "Halo, there are no words or pictures engraved on this demon order, and there is nothing inside. It doesn't seem to have any layers or regular lines So who can guess the mystery of it?  What?" Jiang Chen couldn't help but said with some dejection.  He sat on the futon and stared at the demonic order for a moment, then murmured: "How about I put something in it and see if there is any change." So, without stopping, Jiang Chen immediately left the table  He picked up a tea bowl and put it into the Heavenly Demon Token from the top opening.  As soon as this thing is put in, there will be an immediate change.  Just listening to the sound of "gurgling, grunting" in the magic order, the tea bowl seemed to be tumbling and melting inside.  With the sound of this sound, the black luster it emitted seemed to dim A moment later, a pile of clay suddenly spit out from the top opening of the Demon Token.  "Hey! Clay?  "Jiang Chen picked up the clay and couldn't help being surprised. "Judging from the color of the clay, it seems to be the color of the tea bowl that was put in just now. It seems that the devil's order restored it!  "Jiang Chen quickly discovered the mystery. In order to verify whether his idea was true, he put in a rag and a cotton shoe one after another. And the result was indeed as expected. After putting the rag in, what came out was silk.  Linen, and after putting the cotton shoes in, what comes out is cotton and silk thread. However, every time I restore something, the luster of this Heavenly Demon Token becomes dimmed. ¡°It seems that this Heavenly Demon Token has the ability to restore ordinary items.  I don¡¯t know if it has any effect on spiritual things!  I¡¯ll try this ¡®Yuhuang Pill¡¯ again!  "Jiang Chen said excitedly. "Yuhuang Pill is a pill that can improve the cultivation level of monks in the early stage of Qi refining. It is the most common commercial product. However, Jiang Chen has only obtained two pills of this pill in the past year.  He used one pill when he was refining his energy and condensing his soul. Now there was only one pill left. After a moment of hesitation, he took out the remaining jade yellow pill from his storage bag and put it in.  After all, he really didn't have any other pills around him, so he could only use this one. Thinking of this, he still felt very sad. You know, he would have to work as a handyman for a month to get the spiritual stones needed to buy this Yuhuang Pill.  Got it. There was a churning sound of "Gululu", and the magic order shook for a while. When it stopped, seven or eight medicinal herbs and some medicinal powder were sprayed out, which seemed to be refined jade yellow.  Jiang Chen checked it carefully and sniffed it. After confirming that these were genuine alchemy herbs and powder, he already had a bold idea in his mind.  He had picked up Yuhuangwan's waste elixir when he was cleaning the alchemy room this afternoon. He originally planned to throw it out when taking out the trash, but he didn't want to be caught by the devil when he was next to the ravine.  The old monster took it away, so he didn't have time to throw it away. He swallowed and put the waste pill of Yuhuang Pill in his pocket.  Reduced into medicinal herbs and medicinal powder, it would be a wonderful treasure. After the waste pill was put in, the Heavenly Demon Token still made a churning and decomposing sound. After a while, seven or eight more medicinal plants and herbs were sprayed out from it.  Several kinds of medicinal powders. The luster of Tianmo Ling became lighter. Jiang Chen compared these medicinal materials with the medicinal materials sprayed out after the intact Yuhuang Pill was decomposed, and found that they were exactly the same.  , the decomposition and restoration function of this demonic order does not matter the quality of the object. This astonishing discovery made Jiang Chen feel surprised. He suddenly realized that this was indeed a rare treasure, and it was extremely magical!  A thought immediately flashed through his mind: If he learned the art of alchemy, wouldn¡¯t he be able to have a steady supply of elixirs to take? You know, the success rate of alchemy.  But it is very low, even for advanced alchemists, the success rate of elixirs is only 20 to 30%. Behind each finished elixir are several times the amount of waste elixirs and refining medicinal materials. If you use this Heavenly Demon Token.  , by replacing all the discarded elixirs with materials and re-refining them, wouldn¡¯t it be possible to have a 100% success rate in elixir making? This is a level that even the most advanced alchemists cannot achieve! Jiang Chen was excited,  He even couldn't wait to go to the sect's alchemy room to try it, but when he was about to open the door, he suddenly calmed down and thought to himself that he was now a typical person with three nos: one no alchemy cauldron and two nos.  There is no alchemy skill, and there is no way to make alchemy. It seems that we can¡¯t be too hasty, so we should find a way to earn some spiritual stones first!  Jiang Chen knew in his heart that in the world of cultivating immortals, it was just as realistic as on earth. It would be difficult to move forward without spiritual stones. Alchemy cauldrons, alchemy recipes, alchemy materials, and rented sect alchemy rooms all required spiritual stones.  I am completely broke now.  Since he was only a registered disciple, the sect would not issue spiritual stones. The ten spiritual stones he finally saved were obtained by working as a handyman for a year.  "Yes! Since this Heavenly Demonic Order can restore waste elixirs, can't you go to the ravine where garbage is dumped and find some valuable elixirs to restore them? Then you can make a fortune? You know, like those elixirs suitable for monks in the foundation-building period  , the medicinal materials needed for refining can be sold for a lot of spiritual stones!" Jiang Chen felt extremely excited when he thought of this.  So he quickly rushed to the valley where the garbage was dumped, and specifically found waste elixirs such as Jingqi Powder, Ningqi Powder, etc. that were suitable for monks in the foundation-building stage. Then he took them back and used the Heavenly Demon Token to restore and decompose them. He was surprised to find that  , what do these waste elixirs look like when you put them in, and what they look like after you spit them out, there is no change at all."How could this happen?" Jiang Chen was astonished and thought about why this happened.  "It seems that there are only two reasons. Either the elixir is of a high level and cannot be restored by the Demon Order, or these waste elixirs have been discarded for too long and cannot be restored!" Jiang Chen secretly speculated.  In order to confirm his idea, he went to the ravine again, collected dozens of waste pills and returned to his room.  There are six types of these elixirs, which are suitable for monks from the early stage of Qi refining to the late stage of foundation building to take when improving their cultivation.  And the time ranges from refining it today to yesterday, even a week ago, or a month ago.  After a long test process, in which Jiang Chen made more than ten trips to the ravine where garbage was dumped, he finally understood the function of the Demon Token thoroughly.  Jiang Chen discovered that it mainly has the following characteristics and functions: First of all, this Heavenly Demonic Token does have the function of restoration, that is, it can restore the refined and synthesized items to their previous state.  For example, waste elixirs are reduced to medicinal materials, and tea bowls are reduced to clay.  However, this restoration is not unlimited and can be restored infinitely.  It can only be restored once and cannot be restored continuously.  For example, it can restore waste elixirs into medicinal materials and medicinal powders, but it cannot restore medicinal powders that have been restored once into living herbs; it can restore cotton shoes into cotton threads, but it cannot restore cotton threads that have been restored once.  Reduced to cotton.  Secondly, the restoration of the Demon Order also consumes energy.  He found that every time the item was restored, the luster of the Heavenly Demon Token would dim.  Ordinary items such as cotton shoes and tea bowls consume very little energy and can be ignored.  But spiritual things like elixirs consume a lot, and the higher the level of the elixir, the more energy it consumes.  Like the most basic Yuhuang Pill, it takes more than a hundred pills to be restored before the Heavenly Demon Order loses all its luster and energy.  And if it is a higher-end Qi-nourishing pill, it can only restore dozens of pills.  As for the pills such as Qi Gathering Powder and Qi Ning Powder that are suitable for monks in the Foundation Establishment Stage, they cannot be restored at all.  Jiang Chen estimated that this should be caused by insufficient energy in the Heavenly Demon Token.  "As for how to restore the energy in this Heavenly Demon Order so that it can quickly regain its luster, Jiang Chen has never found a way.  The current situation is: every time the energy contained in the Demon Order is exhausted, it will have to wait a full week before it will automatically restore its energy.  "Now it seems that the Heavenly Demon Order relies on itself to slowly absorb spiritual energy from heaven and earth to restore its energy. If I can find a way to replenish the Heavenly Demon Order's energy, maybe it can play a greater role!" Jiang Chen naturally didn't believe it.  The Heavenly Demon Order can only restore low-level items such as Yuhuang Pills and Qi Yang Pills.  If this were the case, the founder of the Heavenly Demon Sect, the Heavenly Demon Saint Ancestor, would not have regarded it as a treasure and passed it down as a token of the leader.  However, his current cultivation level is low and he knows very little about cultivating immortals. If he wants to study the secret of the Heavenly Demon Order, he can't figure it out in a hurry.  "Forget it! It's still early for me to build the foundation now. I have just stepped into the ranks of immortal cultivators. Let's wait until then!" Jiang Chen sighed and put the decomposed materials and the Demon Token into the storage bag.  , put it away.  "Let's earn some spiritual stones first! Otherwise, we don't have any alchemy cauldrons or alchemy recipes, and we can't even afford to rent an alchemy room, so we're still trying to make shitty elixirs!" He thought to himself.  Although he now has some medicinal materials for decomposing waste elixirs, he does not dare to sell them yet.  Because he wanted to keep these medicinal materials for future use in elixir making, he had no choice but to think of another way.  Jiang Chen thought about it and realized that he had already reached the first level of the Qi Refining Stage. Not only did he have magic power in his body, but he could also cast some basic ghost spells such as soul control and corpse control.  Then you can catch some ghosts and hand them over to the sect in exchange for spirit stones.  This is much faster than doing chores.  He has only learned one spell now - the Soul Control Technique. This is a benefit given by the sect to every new disciple at the beginning. If he wants to learn new spells in the future, he will have to use spiritual stones to buy duplicate jade slips from the Sutra Pavilion. Then  Although the fee is not much, it is still a big figure for a penniless registered disciple like Jiang Chen.  "It seems that we need to go to the Demon Valley!" Jiang Chen thought to himself.  The place where he plans to catch ghosts is the famous Heavenly Demon Valley within a radius of thousands of miles. It is located to the west of the gate of the Heavenly Demon Sect and is famous for its viciousness and danger.  It is said that more than 10,000 years ago, this was the site of the first battle of the war between good and evil. Both warring parties invested millions of monks and hundreds of millions of mortal troops.  That battle was fought in darkness, with no light from the sun or the moon, corpses everywhere, and rivers of blood.  From then on, there were often sounds of ghosts crying and howling, and ghosts, zombies and skeletons could be seen wandering around at night.  The levels of ghosts and zombies are divided into ghost soldiers, ghost generals, ghost commanders, ghost kings and ghost emperors, which respectively correspond to the Qi refining period of the cultivator.??The foundation building stage, the golden elixir stage, the Yuan Ying stage and the divine transformation stage.  It is said that in the deepest part of the Demon Valley, there are even ghost commanders and ghost kings, but few people have seen them because everyone who has seen them is already dead.  Therefore, Jiang Chen did not dare to enter the depths of Tianmo Valley. He could only go to the outermost place called Crow Ridge Cemetery. It was a rare gathering place for low-level ghosts. Although there were many ghosts, there was not even one ghost.  There are no ghosts of high-level ghost soldiers, and most of them are junior ghost soldiers equivalent to the first to third levels of Qi refining stage.  Those disciples of the Heavenly Demon Sect with low cultivation level, as well as some casual cultivators in the Qi Refining Period who practice the ghost path in Han Dynasty, will most likely go there if they want to catch ghosts.  After Jiang Chen learned about this situation from others, he very much doubted whether the Crow Ridge Cemetery was a place deliberately set up by the Tianmo Sect as a ghost-catching place for training disciples in the Qi Refining Period of the sect.  He is a cautious person. Before going there, he asked someone in detail about the necessary props needed to catch ghosts, such as ghost ropes, ghost nets, raw meat to attract ghosts, etc. They were all available.  Crow Ridge Cemetery is only over fifty miles away from the Demon Sect. Since Jiang Chen entered the first level of the Qi Refining Stage, his body has become much stronger and he can run much faster.  In just over an hour, he arrived at the Crow Ridge Cemetery, which was windy, ghostly, and foggy
