Nine Transformations of the True Spirit

The thirteen qi refining disciples were at a loss, and several of them hesitated and said, "Disciple, I don't know."

"After the disciple entered the secret realm, he walked alone and did not see any other disciples..."

Seeing that they didn't know what to ask, Xie Chaohong's face became even more ugly, and a cold light flashed in his eyes, but he didn't feel comfortable in front of the Danjie elders of various factions.

At this moment, a Qi Refining disciple from Wanshou Mountain hesitated for a moment, stepped out from the crowd, and bowed to the monk surnamed Wei with clasped fists: "Elder Wei, disciple... I know why fellow Taoist fellow Ziyang Sect failed to come out."

Xie Chaohong turned his head suddenly: "Say!"

The coercion of the late stage of pill formation filled the air, and the disciple shuddered, his face turned pale, and he was speechless for a moment.

The monk surnamed Wei frowned, raised his sleeves and removed Xie Chaohong's pressure, and said calmly: "Thank you, fellow Taoist, for calming down. I'll let this junior explain before we make any arguments."

There was a trace of dissatisfaction in his tone, and Xie Chaohong also realized that he was a little out of sorts. He took a deep breath and bowed his hands: "I made Fellow Daoist Wei laugh."

He turned to look at the Qi Refining disciple of Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain, suppressed the anger in his heart, and asked: "I would like to ask, little friend, why only thirteen disciples of our sect left the secret realm?"

The monk surnamed Wei said calmly: "Tell fellow Daoist Xie everything you know."

"Yes." The disciple shrank and looked at the Lingyun Sect disciple standing behind Jin Luoheng on the other side, with a hint of fear in his eyes.

He said: "I was lucky enough to get a Jade Bee Queen before and cultivated sixteen first-level and lower-level Jade Bees. They are the best at concealing Qi and are connected to the queen bee's consciousness, which is extremely convenient for investigating the surrounding situation. "

"In the secret environment, I used the Jade Bee to explore the way. I saw seven Lingyun Sect disciples besieging nine Ziyang Sect fellow Taoists and killed them all, but I was unscathed."

"One day later, I saw nine Lingyun Sect disciples and two Tiangang Sword Sect disciples, besieging four Ziyang Sect fellows and three Guiyuan Sect fellows, and also killed them...them all."

Xie Chaohong's pupils shrank: "Impossible! Nine disciples of our sect were besieged, how can we leave our opponents unscathed?"

The Qi Refining disciple said: "Everything that this junior said is true. The leader of the Lingyun Sect can release a three-inch thick blue sky thunder. The power is astonishing and cannot be matched by the Qi Refining monks."

"This junior has seen Foundation Establishment monks display their magical powers. Compared with them, this blue sky thunder is no less impressive."

"Friend Ziyang Sect originally had the upper hand, but this person raised his hand and released a blue sky thunder, which could kill one person."

"He killed three people one after another, and the others fled in all directions. They were caught up by the disciples of Lingyun Sect, and no one was spared..."

"Do you remember this person's appearance?" Xie Chaohong said word by word.

The Qi Refining disciple hesitated for a moment and looked at the monk surnamed Wei.

The monk surnamed Wei said calmly: "Thank you, fellow Taoist, for asking. Just answer truthfully."

The qi refining disciple then raised his hand and pointed at the disciple behind Jin Luoheng: "That person is the one who can release blue thunder and lightning!"

Xie Chaohong slowly turned his head, followed the man's hand, his eyes fell on a young monk, and said slowly: "You are the one who led the people to surround and kill my Ziyang Sect disciple?"

The person identified was Hong Yi, but when faced with Xie Chaohong's questioning, he remained calm and bowed his hands: "Yes, the junior and the disciples of the noble sect are competing for the spiritual grass and fighting..."

"How courageous!" Xie Chaohong shouted angrily, and the pressure of the late stage of foundation building surged out, "You are just a Qi refining monk, why can you display magical powers comparable to those in the early stage of foundation building?"

Jin Luoheng raised his sleeves and waved away Xie Chaohong's pressure, and said calmly: "What does this mean, fellow Taoist Xie? Generations have fought for spiritual grass, and there will naturally be victory and defeat. This has been the case for tens of thousands of years. After leaving the secret realm, , all the grudges are gone, do you still want to find fault? "

Xie Chaohong said angrily: "The younger generation fights for life and death. If the disciples of our sect are not as skilled as others, they will die. Xie will naturally not pursue it."

"But the thunder and lightning magical power displayed by this person is obviously not a Qi refining spell."

"Xie suspects that your sect has left some tricks on him to give him such strength. We must check it out!"

Jin Luoheng frowned and his voice became colder: "Disciples from each sect have been carefully inspected before entering the secret realm."

"Thank you, fellow Daoist, for the disciples of our sect. However, we have investigated the disciples of our sect more than once and found no problems. Now you are saying that our sect has used tricks. But do you think my Lingyun sect is easy to bully?"

Xie Chaohong was speechless for a moment, but Dai Qing stepped forward and shouted: "How can we explain that the disciples of the Lingyun Sect and the Tiangang Sword Sect joined forces to besiege the disciples of our sect?"

Xie Chaohong's expression changed, and just as he was about to speak, Wu Zexian stepped forward and said sternly: "A hundred years ago, when the supreme elder of our sect entered the secret realm, Guizong and Guiyuan sect joined forces and sent their disciples The disciples blocked the inner ring passage, but the Supreme Elder rushed into the inner ring with one against eight."

"The next time the secret realm was opened, Elder Qi from Qi Yuanshan, your sect, implanted demon pills into the bodies of Qi Refining disciples and massacred the disciples of various sects. Fortunately, the Supreme Elder succeeded in building the foundation and united with the disciples of all sects to thwart your sect's conspiracy."

"It has always been your sect's deliberate plan to deal with the disciples of various sects. The disciples of our sect have only fought back. Shouldn't your sect only be allowed to do the first grade of junior high school and not be allowed to do the 15th grade of our sect?"

Taoist Yingting said coldly: "The Ziyang Sect is so majestic. When you and the disciples of the Guiyuan Sect joined forces to block the inner ring passage, disciple Zhang was also in the secret realm and joined forces with Senior Chen to enter the inner ring. "

"When the secret realm was reopened, a disciple of Lingyun Sect complained about this, but Fellow Daoist Xie said that the secret realm was not bound by the rules of the cultivation world, and it was fine if the younger generation was willing to join forces to collect spiritual herbs."

"Today, Zhang said the same thing. The secret realm was not bound by the rules of the cultivation world, and it was fine if the younger generation was willing to join forces to collect spiritual herbs."

Dai Qing was stunned and sent a message to Xie Chaohong: "Elder Xie, Master actually did such a thing?"

Xie Chaohong's face was extremely gloomy, but Dai Qing was helping him, so he couldn't blame him, so he could only reply: "Leave this matter to Xie."

He said to Gui An elder of Yuanzong who was in the early stage of Jindan secretly sent a message: "Fellow Daoist Xia, Lingyun Sect also attacked your disciples. How can a Qi-refining disciple display the magical power of foundation building? There must be something strange. We must ask."

The elder of Guiyuan Sect sighed in his heart and said with a stiff face: "Fellow Daoist Jin, let's check it again. It is really unbelievable that a Qi-refining peak disciple was killed by a thunderbolt."

Jin Luoheng looked at Hong Yi and said lightly: "What means did you use to release the thunderbolt?"

Hong Yi clasped his fists and bowed, and said respectfully: "Elder, I once got a rare treasure that can release blue lightning. Extraordinary power. ”

Jin Luoheng nodded: "Take out this rare treasure and let Fellow Daoist Xie and Fellow Daoist Xia take a look."

Hong Yi smiled bitterly and said: "This treasure is a little damaged. After the disciple used it several times in the secret realm, it broke by itself, turned into ashes, and disappeared."

Jin Luoheng looked at Xie Chaohong: "Fellow Daoist Xie also heard that the disciples of our sect rely on a rare treasure to release blue lightning, not that our sect used any means."

Xie Chaohong sneered: "Just when Xie was about to check, the rare treasure was destroyed in the secret realm. How can there be such a coincidence in the world? Xie will check it again!"

Jin Luo Heng said calmly: "Whether you believe it or not, you have already checked our disciples before entering the secret realm, and there is no objection. If you want to check again now, it is impossible."

Xie Chaohong narrowed his eyes: "What if Xie insists on checking?"

Jin Luoheng said calmly: "Then we can only see the truth with our hands. The reputation of our sect cannot be slandered."

Xie Chaohong's eyes flashed with murderous intent: "Please teach me, Jin Daoist!"

He didn't want to fight with Jin Luoheng, but only thirteen of the hundred disciples of Ziyang Sect entered the secret realm of Dongxu Mountain alive. He couldn't explain to the sect and couldn't retreat.

Jin Luoheng said calmly: "Jin also wants to learn from Xie Daoist's methods, but it is related to the reputation of our sect, and others cannot question it at will."

"Please also ask Xie Daoist to sign a life and death agreement. This fight depends on your ability, and life and death are not important!"

As soon as these words came out, it was like a bolt from the blue, and the faces of the elders of each sect changed drastically.

Jin Luoheng is the master of the Grand Elder of Lingyun Sect, and Xie Chaohong is in charge of the power of Ziyang Sect, second only to one person and above ten thousand people.

If these two people sign a life and death agreement, no matter who lives and who dies, it will shake the entire Qi Kingdom's cultivation world!

Xie Chaohong was also shocked. There have been many battles between Ziyang Sect and Lingyun Sect elders, but no one has ever died because of it, let alone signed a life and death agreement.

He never thought that Jin Luoheng would actually make such a proposal. He was held there for a while and fell silent.

Jin Luoheng said lightly: "Why, Elder Xie doesn't dare?"

Xie Chaohong's face was tightly tense and he said nothing.

Fighting with Jin Luoheng, even if he could win, it would offend Chen Yuan severely, and Taoist Du Kun couldn't protect him.

Although Ziyang Sect has the Jiangxian Mountain as a guarantee, if a Jindan cultivator dies, they will immediately intervene in Qi Kingdom's cultivation world.

But if Chen Yuan uses the banner of revenge for his master, no one can say anything.

Moreover, Jin Luoheng was unfathomable and had never lost. He had no confidence in winning. If he lost, he would die.

Dai Qing sent a message: "Elder Xie, please be patient for a while and wait for the master to return before making a decision."

He sent a message to the cultivator surnamed Wei: "Daoyou Wei, please persuade Elder Xie not to be impulsive."

The cultivator surnamed Wei frowned. After the six sects returned to Qi, Wanshou Mountain and Ziyang Sect got close. In the past few years, they were implicated and suppressed by Lingyun Sect. Ziyang Sect was very unhappy.

But Wanshou Mountain was not Lingyun Sect. There was no Yuanying cultivator in charge, so they did not dare to turn against Ziyang Sect.

Facing Dai Qing's request, he couldn't refuse, and said lightly: "It is common for young people to have casualties in the fight between the younger generations."

"You two Taoist friends are the backbone of the sect. If you fight to the death for such a small matter and spread it out, wouldn't it cause the ridicule of cultivators from other countries?"

Xie Chaohong had a way out, and finally stopped being silent, saying coldly: "Xie has no intention of slandering your sect's reputation, but the casualties of our disciples were heavy, and the methods of your disciples were too amazing, so I have doubts."

"Since your disciples used strange treasures to display their thunder and lightning magical powers, Xie naturally won't have any objections, and there is no need to mention the fight."

Jin Luoheng was not aggressive, and said lightly: "If Taoist Xie still wants to learn from Jin, Jin is always waiting."

The handsome Taoist and the elder of Mingyin Valley were not so well-mannered. They both showed sarcasm on their faces, and their eyes looking at Xie Chaohong were full of mockery.

Xie Chaohong's face darkened, and he took out the purple flying boat, which swayed in the wind and expanded to a size of a hundred feet.

He swayed and flew onto the giant boat. Dai Qing ordered, "You all get on board quickly."

The thirteen disciples of Ziyang Sect quickly boarded the giant boat. Dai Qing had a gloomy face, clasped his fists to everyone, and turned around to fly onto the giant boat.

The purple giant boat slowly rose and quickly went away, soon disappearing in the horizon.

Ziyang Sect left in disgrace, and Wanshou Mountain and Guiyuan Sect did not stay for long. After a hasty salute, they left with their disciples.

The disciples of the three sects who stayed in Dongxu Mountain were all smiling.

They joined forces to encircle and kill the disciples of Ziyang Sect in the secret realm. The disciples of Lingyun Sect harvested spiritual herbs, and the disciples of the other two sects harvested magic tools and spiritual stones. They each took what they needed and harvested a lot.

The elders of Mingyin Valley and the Taoist Yingting also smiled and said goodbye and left, and their words were very polite.

They all knew that the saying of strange treasures was just an excuse. Lingyun Sect must have used some means to allow its disciples to display magical powers that were no less than those in the early stage of foundation building.

But this means could not be detected, and it was not used against the disciples of Tiangang Sword Sect and Mingyin Valley, so they naturally would not say much.

Ziyang Sect had already been severely suppressed by Lingyun Sect, and now it has suffered this great loss. Xie Chaohong lost face in public, and the reputation of the sect was greatly damaged. The future situation will probably be even more difficult.

After bidding farewell to the two sect elders, Jin Luoheng took out the giant boat, carrying the disciples of Lingyun Sect, and left the top of Dongxu Mountain.

On the deck of the giant boat, Jin Luoheng took out a bead containing a trace of Yimu essence and asked everyone to take out spiritual herbs.

Yimu essence can sense the spiritual energy of plants and trees. No disciple dared to hide it. They took out one hundred-year-old spiritual herbs and three hundred-year-old spiritual herbs. Wu Zexian took out the jade slip and recorded them one by one.

When it was the turn of Hong Yi and other top six disciples, they took out more than 300 main medicines for refining foundation-building pills, more than 200 five-hundred-year-old spiritual herbs, and more than 70 eight-hundred-year-old spiritual herbs. Everyone was stunned.

Jin Luoheng and Wu Zexian were also surprised. They knew that these six people had been ordered by Chen Yuan to break several restrictions in the secret realm, some of which were restrictions in the spiritual medicine garden.

But neither of them expected that there were so many 500-year-old and 800-year-old spiritual herbs in these spiritual medicine gardens, and they were all extremely rare and precious.

Jin Luoheng collected all the spiritual herbs, and the rewards for the Qi Refining disciples would be distributed separately after returning to the mountain gate.

It was always like this in the past, and everyone was not dissatisfied. After paying the spiritual herbs, they walked into the tower with smiles on their faces.

In this trip to the secret realm, only seven of the 100 disciples died, and another five were extremely unlucky and failed to meet their fellow disciples, but they also collected a lot of spiritual herbs, enough to exchange for a foundation-building pill.

The others surrounded Hong Yi and others, breaking the restrictions and besieging the disciples of Ziyang Sect. Everyone got dozens of spiritual herbs, in addition to a foundation-building pill, they could also get a lot of rewards.

Jin Luoheng and Wu Zexian came to the top floor of the tower, but saw a cultivator sitting on a chair, and they were stunned.

He stood up and came to Jin Luoheng, clasped his fists and bowed: "Disciple greets Master."

This person was Chen Yuan, with a smile on his face and a respectful expression, without a trace of the airs of a Yuanying cultivator, as if he was still the low-level foundation-building disciple.

Jin Luoheng smiled slightly: "No need to be polite."

Wu Zexian saluted quickly: "Greetings to the Supreme Elder."

Chen Yuan nodded and said: "I have called the six disciples, Master, please sit down."

Chen Yuan sat back in the main seat, Jin Luoheng lifted his front and sat down on the left side, and Elder Wu stood aside.

There is no place for Jindan cultivators in front of Yuanying cultivators.

Even though Jin Luoheng was Chen Yuan's master, he could not sit on the main seat when other elders were present.

After a while, Hong Yi and the other six people came to the third floor, came to Chen Yuan, clasped their fists and saluted, and their expressions were very respectful.

"How many of the restrictions marked on the map have you cracked?" Chen Yuan asked.

The middle-aged cultivator who ranked first in the competition replied: "Disciple has cracked all five restrictions."

"Disciple has cracked four restrictions, and one restriction has been destroyed long ago..."

The six people answered in turn, without missing any restriction.

Chen Yuan nodded slightly: "Well done, after returning to the sect, Elder Wu will give you a generous reward."

The six people were overjoyed and thanked Chen Yuan one after another.

Chen Yuan encouraged them with a few more words before letting them leave.

When the giant boat entered the ten thousand feet cloud wall, Chen Yuan quietly left and returned to the cave house on Baiyun Peak.

He entered the practice room, meditated and practiced to restore his true essence.

When the secret realm of Dongxu Mountain was opened, he activated Kunpeng's true blood and escaped the void robe, and actively sensed the spatial fluctuations in the void, consuming a lot of true essence and spiritual consciousness.

But after this induction, combined with the records on the map, he understood the loopholes in the protective formation of the secret realm of Dongxu Mountain clearly.

Hong Yi and the other six broke all the restrictions he marked, and the loopholes in the protective formation became much larger.

Ten years later, when the Dongxu Mountain Secret Realm was opened again, Chen Yuan had at least 30% chance of sneaking into it.

It was a pity that he could not send a foundation-building cultivator into the secret realm to break more restrictions, otherwise he would have a greater chance.

The protective formation of the Dongxu Mountain Secret Realm was too powerful. Chen Yuan dared to sneak into it only by relying on Kunpeng's true blood and Dunkong robes. If it were other cultivators, they would only be wiped out by the formation.

…

Three days later, Chen Yuan's true essence was fully restored. He ordered Sika Deer to summon Zhuge Qi and asked him to take all the seven top-grade spirit stones mined from the Yuyang Mountain mine in the past four years.

He returned the four remaining ordinary high-grade spirit materials and more than a thousand high-grade spirit stones to Zhuge Qi and asked him to put them back into the treasure house.

Zhuge Qi breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the spirit materials and spirit stones.

Every time Chen Yuan returned to the clan, he would take every penny he could get, which made him terrified.

When Zhuge Qi left, Chen Yuan took out a jade slip and instructed: "Please ask an elder to take this letter to the White Crane Sect to visit Fellow Daoist He and bring back the things that Fellow Daoist He returned."

"Yes." Zhuge Qi agreed, took the jade slip and carefully put it away.

There was a seal of consciousness left by Chen Yuan on the jade slip, which was extremely strong and could only be opened by Yuanying cultivators.

After Zhuge Qi left, Chen Yuan meditated and practiced until Zhuge Qi visited again half a month later.

He clasped his fists and bowed, and handed a jade slip to Chen Yuan: "This is the letter that Senior He ordered Elder Zhu to bring back. Please take a look, Grand Elder."

Chen Yuan took the jade slip in his hand, his consciousness spread out, easily broke through the seal, probed into it, and read it carefully.

After a long while, he retracted his consciousness and frowned slightly.

In the jade slip was a list of treasures that would appear in the Tianxuan Auction three months later.

Zhuge Qi was very tactful. Seeing Chen Yuan lost in thought, he immediately said goodbye and left.

After he left, Chen Yuan pondered for a moment, got up and walked out of the cave, and with a flash of light, he came to the top of Jiangzhen Peak and said loudly: "Master, are you in the house? Disciple is here to visit."

The stone door of the cave slowly opened, and Chen Yuan stepped in, walked through the passage, and came to the narrow stone hall.

Jin Luoheng sat upright on the jade bed, and Chen Yuan bowed with his fists: "Disciple greets Master."

Jin Luoheng smiled and said: "What do you want to see me for?"

Chen Yuan said: "Disciple wants to ask Master a question, why does Master practice?"

"Of course, it is to achieve immortality." Jin Luoheng did not hesitate.

"What if you can't achieve immortality?" Chen Yuan asked.

"Then die on the road to seeking the Tao." Jin Luoheng smiled.

Chen Yuan nodded: "Disciple understands."

He bowed with his fists and turned to leave.

Jin Luoheng did not ask any more questions, with a smile on his face, watching Chen Yuan walk out of the cave.

Chen Yuan left Jiangzhen Peak and did not return to the cave. Instead, he came to the Alchemy Pavilion and entered a stone chamber in the deepest part of the Earth Fire Hall.

Two months later, Chen Yuan left the Alchemy Pavilion and returned to the cave.

He ordered Sika Deer to invite Zhuge Qi and said, "I will leave the sect for a while. You will be in charge of the affairs of the sect. If you are undecided, you can put it aside for the time being. I will be back in three months at the latest."

Zhuge Qi agreed and bowed with his fists, "I just happen to have something to report to the Supreme Elder."

"Dai Qing gave me two wooden boxes through the hidden player and asked me to pass them to the Supreme Elder."

He took out two wooden boxes from the mustard ring and presented them with both hands.

Chen Yuan raised his eyebrows, took the wooden box in his hand, opened one of them, and placed a golden fruit with dark gold and scales all over it.

"Thousand-year dragon scale fruit? This is rare." Chen Yuan was a little surprised.

Dragon scale fruit is a relatively common body-tempering spiritual medicine. It can mature in three hundred years and can grow to a thousand years, which is very rare.

He closed the lid, put the wooden box into the mustard ring, and opened another wooden box, each of which contained a spiritual flower.

"Purple Jade Flower..." Chen Yuan smiled and put the wooden box away.

This is an 800-year-old spiritual medicine for tempering the body. Qi Yuanshan wanted him to refine the purple jade flower into a pill.

It seems that he cannot leave the mountain gate today. Fortunately, the Tianxuan Auction will not start until a month later, so there is plenty of time.

Chen Yuan returned to the Alchemy Pavilion and spent half a month to refine the purple jade flower into a pill.

Body-tempering spiritual medicine is hard to find, but auxiliary medicine is easy to get. Purple Jade Flower can be refined into Purple Jade Pill. The difficulty of refining is higher than that of late-stage pills, but in Chen Yuan's hands, it is also a 90% success rate.

Thousand-year-old dragon scale fruit can be refined into dragon scale pill, which is more difficult than refining early-stage Yuanying pills.

Chen Yuan's physical body has just broken through the bottleneck of level nine, so he is not in a hurry to refine the dragon scale pill. He is ready to wait until the alchemy technique is improved and the success rate is improved before refining it.

He gave the Purple Jade Pill to Zhuge Qi and ordered him to give it to Qi Yuanshan, then quietly left the sect and headed for Tianxuan Sect. (End of this chapter)
