Nine Transformations of the True Spirit

The next day, the sky was clear and cloudless.

Lingyun sent six alchemy monks to arrive at the top of the mountain where the sect was stationed early.

Not long after, Qin Gang, Taoist Yingting, and Ren You arrived, and the two sides greeted each other.

After waiting for another quarter of an hour, four black rays of light flew over and landed on the top of the mountain, revealing four monks in black clothes, all with a cold temperament.

The leader was an old man, who took the initiative to salute the monks of the two sects: "Wan came a little late and kept you fellow Taoists waiting for a long time."

He is the elder Wanshihun of the Netherworld Valley and a monk in the late stage of pill formation. After the leader of the Netherworld Valley left, he took over the power of the sect.

Zhuge Qi responded with a salute: "It doesn't matter, the alliance will only start in half an hour."

Qin Gang said lightly: "I hope fellow Taoists Wan will remember the previous agreement that the three sects will advance and retreat together, and don't retreat midway."

Wan Shihun smiled bitterly and said: "Fellow Taoist, don't worry, our sect acted inappropriately in the past. We are deeply ashamed of it and will never make the same mistake again."

Qin Gang snorted coldly and said no more.

The other three elders of Ningyin Valley looked a little embarrassed. Duan Quan spoke at the right time: "Fellow Taoists, last night I received a message from Elder Sun of the Ziyang Sect. Senior Du Kun will also participate in this alliance. We can't do anything to Nascent Soul." The monks are disrespectful and need to go to Yuyangding earlier.”

Everyone nodded, took up the Escape Light, and flew towards the mine.

Next to several mines, there is a peak more than 500 feet high, only shorter than Yuweifeng, named Yuyangding.

Thousands of years ago, the Qi sects made an agreement on this peak to jointly mine the Yuyang Mountain veins.

From then on, every time the sect rose or fell, the renegotiation of the share of the mineral vein was always held here.

When everyone arrived at Yuyangding, the monks from Ziyang Sect, Wanshou Mountain and Guiyuan Sect had not yet arrived.

There is no building on the top of the mountain. In the past, there was a palace built here, but when the Demon Sect invaded south, they attacked the Yuyang Mountain mine veins several times.

The main hall was burned to ashes by someone's magical power during a raid by demonic cultivators.

After that, the six sects moved away from Qi State and returned twenty years ago. They immediately set up a spirit-pregnant formation, sealed up the mineral veins, and did not build any more.

About half an hour later, when it was time for the six sects' alliance to begin, more than a dozen rays of light finally flew out from Yuwei Peak and towards Yuyang Peak.

Qin Gang sneered, the Tiangang Sword Sect and the Ziyang Sect had the deepest hatred, and he couldn't stand the Ziyang Sect's behavior the most.

The light came to the sky above Yuyang Peak and stopped slowly. Eleven alchemy monks surrounded Taoist Dukun and landed opposite the crowd.

Zhuge Qi was the first to clasp his fists and salute: "Zhuge Qi from Lingyun Sect has met Senior Du Kun."

Wanshihun followed closely behind. Qin Gang was a little reluctant, but he still saluted.

After that, other elders from the three sects followed suit and saluted, calling them "seniors".

They know that the people coming from the Ziyang Sect are not good, but when facing the Yuanying monks, they must be polite.

Taoist Du Kun nodded slightly, and everyone exchanged greetings with the monks from the three sects headed by Xie Chaohong before stopping.

Jin Luoheng followed Zhuge Qi with a calm expression, but when he saw a pill-forming monk behind Xie Chaohong, his eyes narrowed, with a hint of evil in his eyes.

Taoist Yingting was right next to Jin Luoheng. He noticed the change in his expression and followed his gaze and looked over.

It was a young man with a resolute face, a strong suit, and a tall build. He was saluting Jin Luoheng with fists in his hands, a smile on his lips, but a hint of provocation in his eyes.

Taoist Yingting was surprised, spread his consciousness, laid down a barrier of consciousness, and whispered: "Fellow Taoist Jin, who is this?"

Jin Luoheng stared at the burly young man and said, "This person is Qi Yuanshan's disciple, Dai Qing."

Taoist Yingting was a little surprised: "Is this the physical cultivation of Ziyang Sect in the middle stage of pill formation?"

Jin Luoheng nodded: "Yes, after the Six Sects moved away from the Qi Kingdom, I went to the Ziyang Sect to raise an army to investigate the crime, but Qi Yuanshan was already dead."

"At that time, Dai Qing had not yet formed his elixir. He spoke rudely and was punished by me."

"Later, after he formed the elixir, I fought with him several times, regardless of the outcome. I didn't expect him to come today."

Taoist Yingting took a deep look at Dai Qing. This person's experience was quite legendary. He was accepted as a disciple by Qi Yuanshan more than a hundred years ago, and he could only cultivate through Qi refining.

Later, he practiced the body cultivation techniques passed down by Qi Yuanshan, and his cultivation progressed very quickly. In less than a hundred years, he went from the late stage of foundation building to the middle stage of pill formation. His strength was so powerful that he could even rival the monks in the late stage of pill formation.

Taoist Yingting is a little eager to try. Physical cultivators are extremely rare, and they are all powerful. However, sword cultivators are also known for their strong combat prowess.

Comparing the two, who is better?

At this time, everyone had finished the ceremony. Taoist Du Kun glanced around and said, "Since all the six sects are here, I will get straight to the point."

"Everyone should know that the six sects meeting today, including our own sect, Guiyuan Sect, and Wanshou Mountain, have some objections to the distribution of the shares of the Yuyang Mountain mine, and would like to discuss it with you."

His voice was calm, but there was an unquestionable momentum. As soon as he said this, the air above Yuyang immediately became heavy.

Taoist Du Kun is so direct, which is exactly what Qin Gang wants.

He took a step forward and said in a deep voice: "Senior Du Kun, the current share of the mineral vein was decided at the last alliance of the six sects 1,300 years ago. None of the sects had any objections. Why did the senior suddenly propose to revise it? Mine share?”

Taoist Du Kun did not speak, but Xie Chaohong took a step forward and said with a smile: "Times have changed, and the Qi State has undergone great changes. Six sects have moved away from the Qi State and returned to the Qi State. The Yuyang Mountain Mine has also been sealed for twenty years. "

"The previous distribution method of mineral vein shares is no longer suitable for the current situation and should be renegotiated."    Zhuge Qi also stepped forward and said lightly: "The mineral vein of Yuyang Mountain is of great importance. In the past, it was all decided by the heads of each sect. This time should not be an exception."

"Your sect wants to change the mineral vein share. I have no objection, but we should wait until the heads of each sect return before making any plans."

Xie Chaohong shook his head: "Fellow Daoist Zhuge is wrong. When the sects made the agreement in the past, when did they say that the heads of the six sects must be present before the mineral vein shares can be discussed?"

"As long as three sects raise objections, they must renegotiate. Our sect, Wanshou Mountain, and Guiyuan Sect raised objections together, which is in line with the agreement of each sect."

Zhuge Qi frowned. He had read the jade slips of the agreement of each sect. There was indeed no hard and fast rule that the heads must be present before the mineral vein shares could be discussed.

The mineral vein of Yuyang Mountain, like the secret realm of Dongxu Mountain, is related to the lifeblood of each sect. Every time the mineral vein share is changed, the heads must be present to discuss.

The elders of the six sects would not know that the leaders of each sect would leave Qi together, leaving only the Jindan elders.

Xie Chaohong looked around and saw that no one objected, so he smiled and said: "Since all the Taoist friends have no objection, then Xie will tell you the reasonable way to distribute the mineral vein shares that this sect and the Taoist friends of Wanshou Mountain and Guiyuan Sect think is reasonable."

He paused, looked at Wan Shihun, and his voice became a little colder: "When the demon cultivators invaded, the six sects agreed to join forces to resist."

"But when the war was unfavorable, Mingyin Valley had the intention of surrendering to the demon cultivators, but the demon cultivators refused, so they moved away from Qi with us."

"Mingyin Valley wavered and ignored the overall situation of the six sects. This share should be deprived and transferred to Wanshou Mountain, which made great contributions to resisting the demon cultivators, as many disciples and spirit beasts in the sect died and were injured!"

Upon hearing this, Master Wan stepped out of the crowd and argued, "Our sect has not really surrendered to the demon cultivators. Many of our disciples died and were injured in resisting the invasion of the demon cultivators, and their contribution is no less than that of the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain!"

Qin Gang originally disliked what Mingyin Valley did the most, but now he was the first to speak out to help: "In the decisive battle of the Demon Desert, Mingyin Valley fought to the death and made great contributions. We should not deprive them of their share of the mineral veins without reason."

Xie Chaohong had expected this and said lightly, "Wait a minute, fellow Taoists, I haven't finished speaking yet. It won't be too late for you to refute me after I make my proposal."

Master Wan wanted to argue again, but when he saw Taoist Du Kun beside Xie Chaohong, he shut up.

Xie Chaohong smiled, his eyes swept over Qin Gang and Zhuge Qi, and slowly said: "When resisting the invasion of the demon cultivators, the disciples of Tiangang Sword Sect and Lingyun Sect were afraid to fight and deliberately preserved their strength. In the past, they were not held accountable for the overall interests of the six sects, but now that the six sects have returned to Qi, they must be questioned."

"In addition, Tiangang Sword Sect has repeatedly disrespected the Supreme Elder of our sect, and Fellow Daoist Qin has also challenged the Supreme Elder with Elder Lin of your sect. They should be deprived of 10% of the mineral veins and transferred to our sect and Wanshou Mountain."

Qin Gang had long known that Ziyang Sect was going to take the mineral vein share, but he was still furious when he heard Xie Chaohong say it himself.

But he took into account the Taoist Du Kun standing beside him, and did not dare to get angry. He just glared at Xie Chaohong: "My disciples of Tiangang Sword Sect never fear death, and have never deliberately preserved their strength."

"Qin and Junior Brother Lin asked Senior Du Kun for advice, and also to seek justice for the two foundation-building disciples who died in our sect. It is not a provocation. Senior Du Kun, please understand!"

Taoist Du Kun said lightly: "You youngsters dared to attack Yuanying cultivators. You are so bold."

"I will show mercy to you because you have not cultivated easily, but if I don't punish you, where is my face? There is no need to talk about this matter."

As soon as he spoke, Qin Gang was full of anger, but he dared not say anything, or even show it. He slowly lowered his head and clenched his hands in his sleeves.

It is difficult to practice sword cultivation. Tiangang Sword Sect has only two late Jindan cultivators. After Junior Brother Lin was seriously injured, he was the only one left to support the overall situation. He must not act on impulse.

Zhuge Qi said, "Thank you, Fellow Daoist, when the six sects moved away from Qi, they had a resolution not to pursue the responsibility for the defeat. I'm afraid it's hard to convince everyone if you suddenly bring this up today."

"Fellow Daoist Qin and Fellow Daoist Lin provoked Senior Du Kun for a reason. Even if they were wrong, they shouldn't have taken away 10% of the Yuyang Mountain mine. This punishment is really too heavy."

Xie Chaohong smiled and said, "Today is different from the past. At that time, the six sects were defeated and the situation was precarious. Our sect took the overall situation into consideration and did not pursue the responsibility for the defeat of each faction."

"But now that the Demon Sect has retreated and the six sects have moved back to their hometowns, they have stabilized. Naturally, we must seek justice for the six sect disciples who died tragically at the hands of the demon cultivators."

"As for Fellow Daoist Qin and Fellow Daoist Lin's provocation of the Supreme Elder, it was even more groundless."

" The two dead foundation-building cultivators of Tiangang Sword Sect attacked our disciples first. In order to save themselves, our disciples had no choice but to kill them. "

"Fellow Daoist Qin and Fellow Daoist Lin used this as an excuse to attack the Grand Elder. If they are not severely punished, where is the dignity of the Nascent Soul cultivators and where is the face of our Ziyang Sect?"

Zhuge Qi said coldly: "Fellow Daoist, please forgive me for not agreeing with you. Since we can't reach an agreement, let's vote according to the sect. Lingyun Sect does not agree with the proposal to change the share of the mineral vein."

"My Tiangang Sword Sect also disagrees!"

"Mingyin Valley seconded the proposal!"

Xie Chaohong shook his head slightly, turned around and bowed to Taoist Du Kun: "Grand Elder, please forgive me for my incompetence. Three sects agree, three sects veto, and the matter of changing the share of the Yuyang Mountain mineral vein cannot be negotiated. "

The Taoist Du Kun said calmly: "It's okay. Since the three friends are so stubborn, then we will follow the rules of the world of immortal cultivation. It is also the agreement of the six sects, and strength is respected."

"Each sect will send one person to compete and fight. The winning party can decide how to distribute the share of the Yuyang Mountain mineral vein."

Hearing this, Qin Gang immediately responded: "Okay, I will follow the words of Senior Du Kun, and Qin will fight on behalf of our sect!"

The Master Wan stood up: "Who will compete with Wan?"

Zhuge Qi did not answer immediately. He glanced at the two late Jindan cultivators from Wanshou Mountain and Guiyuan Sect, and frowned.

These two people are not the leaders of their respective sects, and their strength is also a little worse.

Zhuge Qi sighed and looked at the Taoist Du Kun: "May I ask who from your sect will go out to fight?"

The Taoist Du Kun said calmly: "Of course it is me." (End of this chapter)
