Nine Transformations of the True Spirit

Chen Yuan took the storage bag, took out ten wooden boxes from it, and opened all the box lids with a flick of his sleeve.

There were seven spiritual herbs and three demon pills in the wooden box, and Chen Yuan carefully checked them.

Six of them were thousand-year-old spiritual herbs, which could be used to refine Yuanying early stage pills, and one golden spiritual flower, which had the most abundant spiritual energy, was the main ingredient of Jiuyang Pill, Xiangyanghua.

The three eighth-level demon pills were the same as the Xionglie demon pill he got today, all of which were ice-attribute demon pills.

Fortunately, the northern part of the Wan Yao Sea was cold, and there were many ice-attribute demon beasts. When Elder Dan Jue was studying the formula of the demon Yuan Dan, he did not miss the ice-attribute demon pill.

The demon Yuan Dan required different spiritual herbs according to the level and attributes of the demon pill.

There were even slight differences in the spiritual herbs required between different types of demon pills.

But the formula of the demon Yuan Dan with the same attribute, from low to high, has a pattern to follow.

Elder Dan Jue did not pass down the recipe for the eighth-level ice bear's demon Yuan Dan, but Chen Yuan had already conceived a preliminary recipe based on his experience in refining more than a hundred furnaces of different types of demon Yuan Dan, and the same was true for the other three demon pills.

Chen Yuan checked very carefully, and it took him two quarters of an hour.

But Tang Daozhou always had a smile on his face, and he was not impatient from beginning to end.

When Chen Yuan put the spiritual herbs and demon pills back into the wooden box and put them into the mustard ring, he took the initiative to talk to him, with a very enthusiastic attitude, even a little respectful.

He had thought of plotting against Chen Yuan, but after seeing Chen Yuan's strength, he was afraid and felt guilty, and repeatedly tried to probe Chen Yuan's background in his words.

Chen Yuan's response was flawless, and he only said that he was a casual cultivator, and the rest was vague and passed by.

After half an hour, Tang Daozhou had nothing to gain and could only return in disappointment.

After all, he did not find out Chen Yuan's background, but he was roughly sure that Chen Yuan had no ill intentions, which made him feel much more at ease.

When Tang Daozhou left, it was already late. Chen Yuan returned to the practice room, sat cross-legged, absorbed spiritual energy, and recovered the true essence consumed by fighting with Xiong Lie today and refining Chongxuan Peak.

His fight with Xiong Lie was very short, and he consumed little true essence, less than 20% of the true essence consumed by refining Chongxuan Peak.

Chen Yuan sat on the futon, operated the method, and at the same time did not forget to spread his spiritual consciousness and be alert to the surroundings.

He knew that he took advantage of the beast tide to ask Tang Daozhou for seven thousand-year-old spiritual herbs and three eighth-level demon pills, which was considered taking advantage of the danger, and Tang Daozhou would definitely not be willing.

Today, he killed Xiong Lie and showed some strength, which should have shocked Tang Daozhou.

But he was cautious by nature and would never relax because of this.

When the beast tide surrounded the city, Chen Yuan had thought of helping Tang Daozhou and using this opportunity to find out about the Cold Jade Lion Cave.

But later, Tang Daozhou, for the sake of the Cold Chi grass, disregarded the lives of all the cultivators in the city and did everything he could to break through the bottleneck, which made Chen Yuan give up this idea.

Cultivation is for the sake of immortality, and Tang Daozhou's actions are understandable.

But instead of making friends with such a person, it is better to use the beast tide to threaten him and make a deal with him, so that he can not only find out about the news of the Cold Jade Lion, but also get some thousand-year-old spiritual herbs and level eight demon pills.

Chen Yuan waited patiently and watched the development of the beast tide with a cold eye until Tang Daozhou came to the door, then he showed his cultivation and asked for a sky-high price.

Tang Daozhou had no choice but to agree to his request.

But Chen Yuan knew that he would definitely not be willing.

But Chen Yuan didn't care about it. As long as he was strong enough, Tang Daozhou would not dare to act rashly no matter what he planned.

Today, he killed Xiong Lie with the force of thunder, and indeed shocked Tang Daozhou.

Seven thousand-year-old spiritual herbs, three level eight demon pills, plus Xiong Lie's demon pill, can at least refine a bottle of Yuanying early stage pill.

The only pity is that Guanlan Sect does not know the location of the cave of Hanyu Lion, it seems that we still have to start from Bingling Sect.

...

The next day, Chen Yuan put on a mask, left the cave, and came to the market.

After yesterday's battle, he should be known to everyone in Shuofeng City.

Although only the cultivators on the north wall have seen him, a Yuanying cultivator suddenly appeared in Shuofeng City, killed Xiong Lie, and dispersed the beast tide. His appearance will definitely spread throughout the city.

After the beast tide retreated, the market regained its prosperity, even more lively than half a month ago.

The beast tide caused heavy casualties among the cultivators in the city, but it also allowed the surviving cultivators to obtain many demon pills and monster materials.

Some even took the opportunity to pick up the storage bags of dead monks and made a fortune.

Some people were still afraid of the beast tide and left Shuofeng City yesterday.

But more people stayed and sold their spiritual tools and materials.

The shops that had been closed for a long time reopened to welcome customers and were crowded with people.

Chen Yuan walked through the crowd and came to Bingling Pavilion.

He did not take off his mask, but revealed his cultivation as a Jindan cultivator.

The Qi-refining female cultivator who received the guest immediately led him to see Wei, the head of the family.

Unfortunately, Wei, the head of the family, was entertaining a customer who was also in the Jindan stage. The Qi-refining female cultivator first led Chen Yuan to see the old foundation-building deacon.

After the Qi-refining female cultivator left, the foundation-building deacon looked at Chen Yuan, bowed, and said hesitantly: "Please wait for a moment, senior..."

Chen Yuan took off the mask, and the foundation-building deacon's face changed, and he immediately bowed deeply: "I didn't know that the senior had come. I will report to the chief Wei now."

No wonder he felt that the person in front of him looked familiar. When Chen Yuan first came to Bingling Pavilion, he wore this mask.

Chen Yuan asked curiously: "Isn't the chief Wei entertaining guests?"

"Master Wei has already given instructions. If senior comes here, he needs to report to him immediately. Senior must not be neglected."

After saying that, the Deacon of Foundation Establishment clasped his fists and bowed again, bowed and stepped back, looking extremely respectful.

After a while, he followed Master Wei and quickly walked into the quiet room.

After Mr. Wei entered the door, he took two quick steps and came to Chen Yuan. He bowed deeply and said with a look of fear on his face: "Wei Hai has met the senior. I don't know the identity of the senior. I have offended many times. Please forgive me, senior."

Chen Yuan smiled and said: "Those who don't know are not guilty. Chief Wei does not need to blame himself."

Manager Wei breathed a sigh of relief, bowed slightly, raised his hand and said, "Senior, please come with me. This place is small and cramped. I have prepared spiritual tea on the fourth floor."

"Master Wei is interested." Chen Yuan nodded, stood up, and followed Master Wei up to the fourth floor.

Chief Wei invited Chen Yuan to take a seat, poured the spiritual tea with his own hands, and stood aside with his hands down.

In front of Yuanying monk, there is no seat for Danjie monk.

What's more, Chief Wei had not recognized Chen Yuan's identity before, and treating him as a Taoist friend was even more disrespectful to the Yuanying monks.

Chen Yuan may not care, but Chief Wei cannot be careless.

Chen Yuan raised the tea cup, sipped it gently, and said calmly: "Master Wei, please sit down, there is no need to be formal."

At this moment, he didn't look like a guest, but like a host.

But Chief Wei was not dissatisfied at all. Instead, he bowed his head to Chen Yuan very carefully, his posture straight and very reserved.

Chen Yuan put down the tea cup and asked, "How does Mr. Wei know that Chen will come to Bingling Pavilion today?"

Chief Wei lowered his head slightly and replied respectfully: "Senior once asked junior about the cave of the Demon King in Transformation. Now that the beast tide has receded, junior guessed that senior will come to Bingling Pavilion again, so he told Deacon Zhao to pay more attention and be sure not to I neglected my senior."

Chen Yuandao: "Chen was entrusted by Taoist friend Tang to kill Xiong Lie, so he would naturally ask him about the cave of the Demon King in disguise. Chief Wei is so sure, will Chen come to Bingling Pavilion again?"

Chief Wei said respectfully: "This sect has been standing in Hanzhou for tens of thousands of years. In terms of understanding of the demon clan, no one can compare with this sect."

"The Guanlan Sect is located north of the ice field, so it is well-informed. It should know the location of the caves of several transformed demon kings."

"But the senior showed great power yesterday. In the midst of lightning and flint, the demon king conferred his head. If he went into the ice field to hunt demons, he probably wouldn't be able to satisfy the caves of a few transformed demon kings. Therefore, the junior believes that the senior will definitely come to this pavilion. "

Chen Yuan's eyes showed approval: "Master Wei is very thoughtful. Chen really needs more information about the Demon King's Cave."

"President Wei said last time that the cave of the Demon King is a secret, and only the Supreme Elder of your sect knows about it."

"Please also ask Master Wei to take me to see Fellow Daoist Xiao. His master, Master Ning Bing, should know something about this, right?"

Chief Wei said respectfully: "When I learned that my senior was visiting the Hidden Pavilion, I sent out a transmission note, asking Elder Xiao to come and pay homage to my senior. Please wait for a moment. Elder Xiao will be here soon."

Chen Yuan nodded, picked up the tea cup, took a sip, and praised: "Not bad."

He didn't know whether he was praising Lingcha or praising Chief Wei for his thoughtful behavior.

Not long after Chen Yuan put down the spiritual tea, Xiao Chengmo walked up to the fourth floor under the guidance of the foundation-building deacon.

Chief Wei stood up, and Xiao Chengmo came to Chen Yuan, cupped his fists and bowed, with a look of shame on his face: "Junior Xiao Chengmo, I have met my seniors, and I have been disrespectful in many ways before. Please forgive me, seniors."

Chen Yuan said calmly: "He who doesn't know is not guilty. Fellow Daoist Xiao, please sit down and talk."

Xiao Chengmo cupped his fists and bowed again: "Thank you for your generosity, senior."

He sat down opposite Principal Wei, his body upright, only half way to the Grand Master's chair, and his expression was respectful.

As an elder of the Ice Spirit Sect and a direct disciple of the Yuanying monk, he is also known as the number one person under the Yuanying in Hanzhou. He is full of arrogance. Even when facing the Yuanying monk, he is neither humble nor overbearing.

However, Chen Yuan showed his teleportation skills yesterday and used the power of thunder to kill Xiong Lie, who had been in Hanzhou for hundreds of years. He was so convinced that he did not dare to neglect at all.

The demon body of the transformed demon king is so powerful, hard to be harmed by magic weapons, and extremely powerful.

But Chen Yuan's strength was actually stronger than Xiong Lie's. After several punches, Xiong Lie was forced to reveal his true form, but he was still unable to fight back.

Although Chen Yuan was suspected of sneak attack, this just showed that he was decisive in killing.

He is obviously stronger than Xiong Lie, but he takes advantage of Xiong Lie's unpreparedness and strikes suddenly. This kind of monk is the most difficult to deal with and the most awe-inspiring.

After Xiao Chengmo sat down, Chen Yuan said: "Fellow Daoist Xiao should already know Chen's intention. I need information about the Demon King's Cave.

"But these secrets are only in the hands of the supreme elders of your sect, and I have no friendship with the supreme elders of your sect. Can Fellow Daoist Xiao introduce them to me?"

Xiao Chengmo immediately replied: "Master Ning Bing, my master, likes to make friends with colleagues the most. How about I invite the seniors and juniors to go to Bingling City together to sit down and discuss Taoism with the master?"

Chen Yuan smiled and said: "Then there will be Taoist Lao Xiao."

After the matter was settled, Chen Yuan was in a good mood and gave Xiao Chengmo and Chief Wei some guidance. Both of them benefited a lot.

Chen Yuan has not been practicing for a long time, but his cultivation is profound. The "Nine Transformations of the True Spirit" points directly to ascension, which is mysterious and unpredictable.

He also refined the blood of two kinds of true spirits, and had a first glimpse of the great road. From a high position, he could often answer the cultivation questions raised by the two people with a sharp hit.

Chief Wei is not bad. He is only in the middle stage of pill formation. He has been the chief of Shuofeng City for a long time and rarely receives guidance from the Supreme Elder of the sect. He thinks that all Yuanying monks are like this, so there is no doubt that he is there.

But Xiao Chengmo was only one step away from forming a Nascent Soul. He had already started collecting Nascent Soul spiritual objects and often received teachings from his master, Ning Bing Zhenren. He was no stranger to Nascent Soul cultivators.

Chen Yuan's insights into the way of cultivation were so profound that he even surpassed Ning Bing Zhenren. He could not help but be secretly shocked.

He also thought of Chen Yuan's mastery of teleportation, which made him an extremely rare physical cultivator, and he became more respectful to Chen Yuan.

…

The next day, Chen Yuan and Xiao Chengmo left Shuofeng City and flew to Bingling City.

Before he left, he visited Tang Daozhou.

Tang Daozhou personally sent the two out of Shuofeng City, watched them go away, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He was not worried that his plan would be known by Chen Yuan, but anyone would be worried about having a Nascent Soul cultivator who mastered teleportation and was far more powerful than himself.

Chen Yuan also knew Tang Daozhou's concerns. Although he didn't want to make friends with this person, he didn't want to make enemies with him either, so he took the initiative to tell Tang Daozhou about his departure to avoid Tang Daozhou's suspicion.

Shuofeng City is close to the ice field and is the northernmost city of the Hanzhou human race.

Bingling City is southwest of Shuofeng City, more than 30,000 miles away, and farther away from the ice field.

Xiao Chengmo's escape speed is far less than Chen Yuan's. Hanzhou is also windy and snowy, and the escape speed is even slower. It took them six days to reach Bingling City.

Bingling City is more than 200 miles in radius, more than twice that of Shuofeng City. The city wall is also taller, 33 feet long, all made of hard black iron rock.

In the eyes of the flying cultivators, this wall is nothing, but in the eyes of mortals, it is like a cliff, towering.

This is the first majestic city in Hanzhou. Low-level monsters can't even climb the mountain-like city wall.

In the past tens of thousands of years, Bingling City has been impregnable and has never been breached by the beast tide, and there are even very few beast tides.

Here gathers the most cultivators in Hanzhou, has the most prosperous market in Hanzhou, and also has the most powerful sect in Hanzhou-Bingling Sect.

Unlike Shuofeng City, the city defense formation of Bingling City is not always open, even if it is operating at the minimum level.

The two entered Bingling City without any inspection.

A trace of pride flashed in Xiao Chengmo's eyes: "Bingling City welcomes cultivators from all over the world. Unless the beast tide comes, it will never be defended. Senior, please follow me. The mountain gate of our sect is in the east of the city."

Chen Yuan nodded, and under the guidance of Xiao Chengmo, he came to the welcoming pavilion of Bingling Sect, randomly chose a quiet courtyard, and lived there.

He wrote a visiting card and gave it to Xiao Chengmo, asking him to take it back to the mountain gate and pass it on to Master Ningbing. (End of this chapter)
