Nine Transformations of the True Spirit

Chen Yuan came to the top of Jiangzhen Peak, lowered his escape light in front of Jinluoheng Cave, took out a transmission note, said a few words, and released it.

The cave flew to the stone door, the aura flickered, and suddenly disappeared.

This was restricted by the formation and moved into the cave. Chen Yuan stood with his hands down. After waiting for a moment, the stone door of the cave slowly opened.

A female cultivator walked out of the door, looked at Chen Yuan, and said with a smile: "Are you Junior Brother Chen? Master asked me to take you in."

This female cultivator looks to be in her twenties and has a beautiful appearance, but she has a pair of thick eyebrows, which adds a bit of heroism.

She is tall and well-proportioned, almost as tall as Chen Yuan. She is dressed in plain white scholar's clothes and wearing a turban. She is not as delicate as an ordinary woman, but rather as heroic as a mortal scholar.

Chen Yuan immediately realized that this should be Shen Danmei, Jin Luoheng's fourth disciple. He raised his hands and saluted, "My younger brother, Chen Yuan, has met Senior Sister Shen."

Shen Danmei smiled and said: "Junior Brother Chen, there is no need to be polite, come in quickly."

With that said, she turned around and walked into the cave. Chen Yuan quickly followed and came to the stone hall.

Jin Luoheng was sitting on the jade bed just like yesterday, with a smile on his lips.

In front of the jade bed, stood a male cultivator in his thirties, with three long beards under his chin, wearing a Taoist robe, with a square face and a steady expression. He turned his head and looked Chen Yuan up and down.

Chen Yuan first saluted Jin Luoheng: "Disciple pays homage to master."

Jin Luoheng said: "Chen Yuan, this is your senior brother Sun Yaocongsun."

Chen Yuan saluted Sun Yaocong again: "Senior Brother Sun."

Sun Yaocong returned the salute: "Junior Brother Chen."

He touched his storage bag and took out a piece of black iron the size of a walnut. He raised his hand and sent it to Chen Yuan: "Brother doesn't have anything good with him. This piece of black iron essence was obtained by brother three years ago. Now, This is a gift to Junior Brother Chen, hoping that Junior Brother Chen will practice diligently and be filial to Master."

Chen Yuan was startled, then he caught the black iron block with both hands, cupped his hands and said, "I thank you, senior brother."

Black Iron Essence is a medium-grade spiritual material that can be used to refine spiritual weapons and is valuable.

This piece of black iron essence is about the size of a walnut. As long as you add some more, it can be used as the main material, supplemented by several low-grade spiritual materials, to refine a low-grade spiritual weapon.

Sun Congyao used this as a meeting gift, which is not cheap.

Seeing this, Shen Danmei frowned: "Senior Brother Sun, you are quite generous. Even Xuan Tiejing gave it away as soon as he said so. Isn't this putting my little sister on the fire? If what I give you is not as good as yours, Junior Brother Chen I will definitely blame my stingy senior sister in my heart."

When Chen Yuan heard this, he quickly said: "How dare you, little brother!"

Sun Congyao smiled and said: "Junior sister, you are too worried. Junior brother Chen is a junior, how can he arrange it behind your back? No matter what you give, he will happily accept it."

Shen Danmei glanced at him: "How can that be done? Although my cultivation is not as good as yours, the things I give to Junior Brother Chen will definitely not be worse than yours!"

She touched her storage bag, took out a jade slip, raised her hand and threw it, and said: "I heard from Master that Junior Brother Chen is a master of alchemy, so I will give you two foundation-building pill recipes. This is better than that Xuan Tie Jing is not bad at all."

Chen Yuan caught the jade slip with both hands and saluted, "Little brother, thank you, senior sister."

Shen Danmei smiled and said: "Thanks are not necessary, but if senior sister needs to refine elixirs in the future, I hope junior brother Chen will not refuse. Of course, senior sister will prepare the spiritual herbs, and junior brother only needs to make the elixirs."

Chen Yuan said sternly: "Senior sister, if you have any needs, please ask, but I will never refuse. But I am also a beginner. I have only refined the Foundation Establishment Pill and am not good at elixirs. If I refine a new pill, I will be able to do it." I’m afraid the pill rate won’t be too high.”

Shen Danmei said nonchalantly: "It doesn't matter, no matter how bad junior brother's elixir-forming rate is, can it be worse than those guys in the alchemy pavilion who are cheating on elixirs? As long as it's 40%, senior sister will be satisfied."

Hearing this, Chen Yuan's face became a little embarrassed: "With a 40% success rate, junior brother asks himself whether he is still somewhat confident."

He finally figured it out. He, the fourth senior sister, was straightforward and outspoken. She would say whatever came to her mind, and she would say such offending words right out of her mouth.

But she waved her hand and gave away a foundation-building pill recipe. She was so generous that it was hard for people to feel bad about her.

At this time, Sun Yaocong said: "Junior Brother Chen, I happen to have a furnace of elixirs to refine. I wonder if you are free?"

Chen Yuan asked: "What kind of elixir does Senior Brother Sun want to refine?"

Sun Yaocong said: "Yu Liang Dan."

When Chen Yuan heard this, a look of embarrassment appeared on his face: "This elixir requires three kinds of three-hundred-year-old spiritual herbs as the main medicine, and the success rate of the elixir may not be too high..."

Yuliang Dan is a late-stage foundation-building elixir. The jade slip given by Jin Luoheng to Chen Yuan yesterday contained this elixir recipe.

If it were replaced by ordinary elixirs, Chen Yuan was confident that the elixir success rate would be at least 40%, and even expected to reach 50%.

The Foundation Establishment Pill, like the Yuliang Pill, uses three kinds of three-hundred-year-old herbs as the main medicine, and its refining difficulty is comparable to the late-stage Foundation Establishment Pill.

The success rate of his refining the Foundation Establishment Pill was only 30%, and if he replaced it with the Yuliang Pill, it wouldn't be much higher.

Sun Yaocong asked: "Is it 30%?"

Chen Yuan replied: "Thirty percent should be no problem."

Sun Yaocong nodded and said: "The rate of 30% of the elixir is enough. If my junior brother is willing to refine this batch of Yuliang Pills for my brother, I can follow the rules and leave one elixir. I only need two Yuliang Pills for my brother." ”

Chen Yuan declined: "How can I ask for senior brother's elixir..."

Sun Yaocong slowly shook his head with a serious expression: "Junior brother, please don't refuse. The rules cannot be broken. How can I let my brother's efforts go in vain? That's it. I will give the spiritual grass to my brother later. I only need to wait for three days." Just give me two Yuliang Pills within a month."

Seeing that he mentioned this, Chen Yuan could only agree.

Senior Brother Sun is upright and pays attention to etiquette. If he refuses blindly, it will be unsightly.

At this time, Jin Luoheng said: "Okay, if you want to find Chen Yuan to make elixirs, you can discuss it in private. The three of you are gathered together today, and I have a few things to explain as my master."

Chen Yuan and the others looked solemn, said nothing, and waited quietly for the next step.

Jin Luoheng said calmly: "Chen Yuan, you have broken through the foundation building and can practice the exercises. I will observe the aura on your body and the fire essence. I have a few fire exercises in my hands, but most of them are incomplete. Later you can go to the Sutra Pavilion and choose a technique to practice."

Chen Yuan bowed and responded: "Yes."

Jin Luoheng added: "The cultivation techniques in the world of immortality can be divided into three categories. Do you know the specific conditions?"

Chen Yuan replied: "As far as my disciples know, the first type of exercises only re-cultivation. They advance very quickly and have pure essence, but they lack divine channel skills. The practitioners' strength is often at the bottom among monks of the same level. The second type of skills only emphasizes magical powers, not cultivation, and progresses very slowly. After mastering them, they are very powerful and have few opponents at the same level. The third type of skills pays equal attention to both, and the true energy is pure, but it is extremely difficult to practice. , it is difficult for those who are not gifted or have great opportunities to get started.”

Jin Luoheng nodded slightly: "That's right. What kind of skills do you want to practice?"

Chen Yuan said without hesitation: "This disciple is not very qualified and would like to practice the first type of skills."

Jin Luoheng smiled and said: "Very good, most of the monks in my lineage practice the first type of skills, and the same is true for our teachers. Although we lack the divine channel technique, we can make up for the lack of magical power with magical weapons. If you have a firm mind, you will have the opportunity to achieve enlightenment.”

Chen Yuan said respectfully: "Disciple will follow Master's teachings carefully. After choosing the method, he will concentrate on practicing and improve his cultivation level."

Jin Luoheng nodded and said: "You need to improve your cultivation as soon as possible. I will observe the aura on your body. It is not the first time you have entered the foundation building. You should have been practicing in the secret realm for a long time. But this is not enough. It is best to be able to do it in the second year." Within ten years, we will break through the middle stage of foundation building.”

Chen Yuan was startled and asked, "Master, does he have something for his disciples to do?"

Jin Luoheng shook his head and said: "There will be great changes in the world of immortal cultivation. If you only have the cultivation level of the early stage of foundation building by then, you may not be able to save your life."

Chen Yuan looked surprised. Sun Yaocong and Shen Danmei were also quite confused and looked up at Jin Luoheng.

Jin Luoheng said in a deep voice: "Six years ago, demonic monks invaded the Wu Kingdom. The Wu Kingdom's cultivators fought with them more than ten times, and finally suffered a major defeat. Two of the four major sects in the Wu Kingdom were destroyed, and two sects retreated. The entire Wu Kingdom's cultivators The Immortal World has all been annexed by the Demonic Cultivators, and their next target is our Immortal World of Qi!"

As soon as these words came out, Chen Yuan and the other two people all looked shocked.

After Chen Yuan entered the Lingyun Sect, he read the classics and learned about the geographical pattern around Qi State.

The place where Qi is located is called Donghua Continent, and there are more than twenty countries in total.

Qi State is located in the south-central part of Donghua Continent, surrounded by four neighboring countries.

Wu State is in the northern part of Qi State. There are four Nascent Soul monks. Their overall strength in the world of immortality is weaker than that of Qi State, and they all belong to the righteous path.

To the north of the Wu Kingdom is the world of demons, which have been at odds with the righteous monks for many years.

However, the good and evil sides only faced each other openly, but had many exchanges in private. There has been no war for thousands of years.

Unexpectedly, the demonic monks had already destroyed the world of immortal cultivation in the Wu Kingdom and wanted to attack the Qi Kingdom, and they didn't know anything about it.

The three of them looked at each other, but Sun Yaocong was the first to speak: "Master, the Wu Kingdom has been destroyed, why hasn't there been any news?"

Jin Luoheng said: "This matter is of great importance. Only the elders of the various sects know the inside story. The Qi country is now just plagued by demons, and people are already panicking. If the low-level monks are informed, the demonic monks will soon attack the country with an army. , there will definitely be a lot of trouble, so the head of the Six Sects Nascent Soul ordered to block the news."

Chen Yuan and the others nodded slowly, with a look of shock still on their faces.

Jin Luoheng said with a solemn expression: "The demonic troubles everywhere in Qi are all caused by the demonic monks, who want to disrupt the world of immortality and consume the vitality of Qi. Now the demonic troubles are getting more and more serious, and the demonic monks are becoming more and more aggressive. It’s close. You must prepare early to improve your cultivation and face the coming battle between good and evil.”

The three of them responded in unison, and Shen Danmei couldn't help but ask: "Master, there has been peace between good and evil for thousands of years, why did the evil monks suddenly provoke a war?"
