Nine Transformations of the True Spirit

After Chen Yuan separated from the enthusiastic boy, he turned into an alley.

He dispersed his consciousness, made sure there was no one around, put on a cassock, put on a silver mask, covered the upper half of his face, and walked into the street again.

He entered Shuofeng City this time to inquire about the Han Jade Lion, not wanting others to know about it.

Even though he just had contact with a Qi Refining monk, he changed his appearance with extreme caution and did not reveal any flaws.

Following the enthusiastic young man's introduction, Chen Yuan came to the center of Fang City and walked into a four-story wooden building.

This is the store opened by the Ice Spirit Sect in Shuofeng City. It is called "Bingling Pavilion". It sells everything and covers everything. It also purchases demon pills and demon beast materials in large quantities.

The Bingling Pavilion is like a city, with many monks coming in and out, especially the foundation-building monks, but there are also many Qi-refining monks.

Whether it is selling demon elixirs, demon beast materials, or buying magical elixirs or talisman formations, Bingling Pavilion is the first choice in Shuofeng City. Even the shops opened by Guanlan Sect are much inferior.

This is not only the case in Shuofeng City, but also in the strong cities established by the other six medium-sized sects, there are branches of Bingling Pavilion. The daily income is even higher than that of the shops opened by the local sects in the city.

Of course, these medium-sized sects do not want to see this situation, but Bingling Pavilion has a deep foundation, the magic weapons and elixirs it refines are of better quality, the prices are fair, and they have strong financial resources. The price of purchasing demon elixirs and demon beast materials is higher. Naturally, it is more popular among monks.

They did not dare to suppress the Ice Spirit Pavilion. The Ice Spirit Sect was the only large-scale sect in Hanzhou and had the only great monk in Hanzhou. There were several Nascent Soul monks in the sect, and they suppressed Hanzhou and no one dared to disobey.

The most important thing is that Hanzhou is different from other states in that the human race and the demon race coexist, and the demon race is even more powerful.

On the ice fields and in the ice ocean further north, there live countless ice-attribute monsters, which are stronger than humans.

If it weren't for the fact that the demon clans don't belong to each other, and only superficially respect the Ice Dragon King, the only tenth-level demon king in the Ice Plains, the internal fighting is extremely fierce, and the human race will even find it difficult to gain a foothold in the Han State.

But even so, every hundreds of years, the demon clan will set off a tide of beasts and go south to rob the human race.

Hanzhou is barren, but it is extremely suitable for the reproduction and cultivation of ice attribute monsters. Over the past few decades, a large number of first-level monsters will be produced, which will be difficult to support.

Whenever this happens, the demon clan will set off a tide of beasts, not only to expand their living areas, but also to consume excess low-level demon beasts.

The human race is already weak. In order to resist the beast tide, they must work together. Relying on the city formation, even mortals must go into battle to fight.

In this situation, the Ice Spirit Sect, the only large sect in Hanzhou, is the human race's greatest reliance.

Every time the beast tide breaks out, the Ice Spirit Sect monks are the mainstay in resisting the beast tide, rushing to help everywhere. Every sect and family in Hanzhou is more or less indebted to the Ice Spirit Sect. How can they suppress the Ice Spirit Pavilion?

…

After Chen Yuan walked into Bingling Pavilion, due to the large number of guests, he waited for a while before a female Qi Refining Cultivator came up to receive him.

He took the initiative to exude the coercion of the late stage of pill formation and said calmly: "Take me to see the head of your pavilion."

The female qi-refining cultivator immediately responded and led the way, leading Chen Yuan straight to the third floor and into a quiet room.

An old man was sitting behind a table. Chen Yuan could tell at a glance that this man was a late-stage foundation-building monk.

When he saw the two people walking in, he frowned: "What's the matter?"

The Qi Refining Girl made a bow and said respectfully: "Deacon Zhao, this Master Jiedan wants to see Director Wei. Please let me know."

Chen Yuan spread his Qi very cooperatively, and the old man looked shocked. He immediately stood up and saluted: "Senior, please wait a moment. I will go and inform you. However, Chief Wei is meeting an important guest, so I may have to ask you to wait a moment."

"It doesn't matter." Chen Yuan said calmly.

The old man breathed a sigh of relief. The female qi refining cultivator only knew that Chen Yuan was an alchemy monk, but he could feel that Chen Yuan's cultivation was in the late stage of alchemy.

In the world of immortal cultivation in Hanzhou, this is enough to support a small sect and become the leader of a strong city.

Even in the Ice Spirit Sect, there are less than ten elders with such cultivation, and each one of them is the mainstay of the sect.

The old man immediately asked Chen Yuan to take a seat, and then walked out of the quiet room quickly.

After a while, the old man returned to the quiet room and said with a smile: "Senior, please come with me. The principal will be waiting for you upstairs."

Chen Yuan nodded slightly, stood up and followed the old man, walked up to the fourth floor, and came to a large living room, where two monks were sitting.

The old man cupped his fists and bowed, and said respectfully: "Mr. Wei, this real person is the senior who wants to meet you."

Chen Yuan did not restrain his energy, and his cultivation in the later stage of pill formation was undoubtedly revealed.

The middle-aged monk sitting on the main seat stood up to greet him and bowed his hands: "I am Wei Sheng, the director of Bingling Pavilion. I wonder why you are looking for me?"

Chen Yuan glanced at the monk sitting in the first place on the left and asked: "This fellow Taoist is..."

This man was extremely young, only about 20 years old, and had a restrained spirit, but Chen Yuan could tell at a glance that he was a late-stage alchemy monk.

After Chen Yuan came in, he sat still, just smiled slightly and nodded. His expression seemed gentle, but his eyes showed a sense of scrutiny. He looked Chen Yuan up and down, and finally stopped at the mask on his face.

Director Wei introduced: "This is Xiao Chengmo, the elder of our sect. This time he came to Shuofeng City and was ordered to review the accounts of our pavilion. If you want to do business with this pavilion, you don't have to avoid Elder Xiao."

Xiao Cheng bowed his hands and said, "Fellow Taoist, please come."

Chen Yuan clasped his fists in return and sat down opposite him.

Director Wei also sat down again. Since Chen Yuan was wearing a mask, he did not ask any other questions and went straight to the topic: "Do you want to sell the demon elixir materials, or do you need something else?"

Chen Yuan said in a deep voice: "I want to find out some news about the Demon King in Transformation..."

"Old ghost Tang, hand over the cold grass, otherwise I will definitely attack Shuofeng City and destroy the Guanlan Sect!"

Before Chen Yuan could finish his words, a thunderous roar came, shaking the roof tiles, covering up the second half of his words.

The three of them were all shocked. Chen Yuan reacted the fastest and immediately spread his consciousness, but was blocked by the formation. He frowned and could only take it back.

The formation that enveloped the quiet room was quite impressive. Although he could forcefully break it open, it would definitely alarm Chief Wei and Xiao Chengmo in front of him.

And he wanted to find out about Han Jade Lion, so naturally he couldn't destroy people's formations in person.

Xiao Chengmo stood up directly and walked quickly outside the quiet room.

Chief Wei looked surprised and uncertain. He stood up and bowed his hands to Chen Yuan: "There seems to be something unexpected happening in the city. Please wait a moment, fellow Taoist. Wei will come as soon as he goes."

Chen Yuan said: "It's okay. I'm also quite curious, so I might as well go and find out."

After that, he stood up and followed him, and the three of them walked out of the quiet room together.

Chen Yuan spread out his spiritual consciousness, and the whole area of ​​two hundred miles was included in the induction, including the entire Shuofeng City.

After conceiving a baby, Chen Yuan's spiritual consciousness expanded to two hundred miles in one fell swoop, comparable to that of a monk in the middle stage of Nascent Soul.

And just as he released his spiritual consciousness, he saw a ray of light coming from the north, like a meteor falling, directly hitting Shuofeng City, and then stopped.

The light disappeared, and the figure of a white-haired old man appeared.

He stopped over Shuofeng City, his face was as pale as paper, and the corners of his mouth were stained with blood, and he shouted: "The beast tide is coming, activate the city defense formation quickly!"
