Nine Transformations of the True Spirit

It took Chen Yuan more than half an hour to come down from Tiantai Peak.

After he used the light body technique, his speed was extremely fast, but Tiantai Peak was a thousand-foot high peak after all, and it was extremely tall and steep, so his speed was not slow.

After going down the mountain, he did not leave, but returned to the first guarding peak, took out the green formation flag, and put it back in its original place.

Then, he took out the formation plate, put three medium-grade spirit stones into the three grooves on the formation plate, pinched the magic formula with his hands, and chanted something.

After a while, the formation plate suddenly emitted a green light, which fell on the green formation flag.

The light on the surface of the formation flag was flowing unsteadily, and it turned into a straight green pine tree again, standing on the top of the mountain.

Chen Yuan released his spiritual sense and carefully sensed it. He could not see any flaws. He nodded slightly, turned around and walked down the mountain.

Half an hour later, he came to the second guarding peak, took out the yellow formation flag, put it back in its original place, and turned it into a huge stone again.

Afterwards, Chen Yuan spent six hours to set up seven array bases in turn and returned to the top of Tiantai Peak.

The array base was re-established, and the restrictions of the Spiritual Medicine Garden were restored as before, turning into a vibrant and clear lake again.

It was dusk at this time, and the sun was setting in the west, reflecting a golden sunset.

The lake was blown by the breeze, rippling with fine ripples, quiet and peaceful.

There was still one day before the secret realm was closed.

Chen Yuan went deep into the east of the inner ring for hundreds of miles. Even if he left immediately, he could not get out of the secret realm.

But he was not in a hurry. He took out the array plate and raised his hand to inject mana.

The array plate emitted light, and a whirlpool suddenly appeared near the shore of the lake, gradually expanding to a size of several feet.

Chen Yuan smiled, stepped into the whirlpool, and his body slowly sank until he disappeared.

After a while, the whirlpool gradually stopped, and the lake surface returned to its original state, with ripples swaying slightly, and quiet and silent.

…

After Chen Yuan entered the vortex, the scene in front of him changed and turned into a thick dark blue light curtain.

At this time, waves appeared on the light curtain, and a circular passage appeared. Chen Yuan passed through it and fell into the Tiantai Peak Spiritual Medicine Garden.

He performed the light body technique, and his body was like floating catkins, gently landing on the ground, retracting the magic power from the array, and the dark blue light curtain closed again.

Chen Yuan looked up and could see the stars faintly lit in the sky.

At this time, the sun had not completely set. In a while, the Milky Way would cross the sky, and the sky would be full of stars, dazzling.

Chen Yuan suddenly took out the Silver Gang Sword, raised his hand and threw it, raised his hand and pinched his fingers:

"Go!"

The Silver Gang Sword shot out and slashed on the forbidden light curtain!

The light curtain did not move at all, but the Silver Gang Sword flew back and stabbed into the ground, and the hilt trembled slightly.

Seeing this, Chen Yuan was not angry but happy, laughing:

"My plan has worked!"

After he entered the secret realm, he never thought of leaving.

Chen Yuan painstakingly planned and prepared twenty soul-restoring pills and seven low-grade spiritual talismans. After entering the secret realm, he did not hesitate to fight eight people alone, defeated the two sects' disciples and broke into the inner ring. The ultimate goal was to become a master of alchemy in this Tiantai Peak Spiritual Medicine Garden, refine the foundation-building pill, and impact the foundation-building!

This is an extremely bold plan. Before, the disciples of various sects who were stranded in the secret realm of Dongxu Mountain had their cultivation destroyed at best, and died at worst. No one had ever been able to survive the spiritual storm safely.

But Chen Yuan had to do this. He was a cultivator with five spiritual roots and his aptitude was too poor. Even if he took three or four foundation-building pills, he would not be able to build a foundation.

According to the rules of Lingyun Sect, even if he searched for more spiritual herbs and handed them over to the sect, he could only get three or four foundation-building pills at most, and the other rewards were skills, spiritual tools, pills, etc.

These rewards are extremely precious to other disciples, and can pave the way for cultivation after building the foundation.

But for Chen Yuan, they are just flowers in the mirror and the moon in the water.

If you can't build the foundation and the road is interrupted, how can you talk about the road of cultivation?

So after he learned the ancient characters and understood the map of the secret realm, he had a bold idea to stay in the secret realm, refine the foundation-building pill by himself, and impact the foundation.

In the past, those disciples who were accidentally stranded in the secret realm could save their lives in the spiritual storm by hiding in the broken restrictions.

If he found a complete spiritual medicine garden, its restrictions should be able to block the spiritual storm.

Finally, Chen Yuan carefully selected the Tiantai Peak Spiritual Medicine Garden as his target, prepared the Fuling Pill and the lower-grade spiritual talisman, and painstakingly studied the alchemy technique to prepare for the trip to the secret realm.

After entering the secret realm, he fought with others all the way without stopping for a moment, until this moment, he finally got what he wanted.

After the ban of Tiantai Peak Spiritual Medicine Garden was repaired, it was no less than before. It could absorb the spiritual energy from the large spiritual veins, and it was endless and tough. It would definitely be able to withstand the spiritual energy storm.

All the spiritual herbs in the garden belonged to him alone.

He only needed to become a master of alchemy to refine the foundation-building pill and impact the foundation-building.

Chen Yuan finally saw the hope of building the foundation. His tense heartstrings suddenly relaxed, and a deep feeling of fatigue surged into his heart.

He raised his hand to call back the Silver Gang Sword, took back the storage bag, came to the two-story building, and placed the array plate on the square table.

After re-establishing seven array bases, the three medium-grade spiritual stones on the array plate were exhausted and turned into powder.

The next time the ban was opened, three new medium-grade spiritual stones were needed.

Then, Chen Yuan came to the second floor, where the furnishings were also very simple and elegant, with only a jade bed.

Chen Yuan took off his shoes and lay on the bed. After a moment, he fell asleep.

…

Just as Chen Yuan was sleeping soundly, in a dense forest outside the secret realm, Mo Jingchun was holding a golden flying sword, spreading his spiritual sense, exploring the surrounding environment, with a vigilant expression.

As the time for the secret realm to close gets closer, the disciples of various sects fight more and more fiercely for the spiritual herbs.

After leaving the inner ring, Mo Jingchun has encountered two robberies, but he killed them both and snatched dozens of spiritual herbs.

At this time, there are more than 200 spiritual herbs in his storage bag, including more than 130 hundred-year-old spiritual herbs and more than 70 three-hundred-year-old spiritual herbs.

Among the three-hundred-year-old spiritual herbs, there are 20 of them, which are the three main medicines for refining foundation-building pills.

As long as he leaves the secret realm safely and hands these spiritual herbs to the sect, it will be enough to exchange for three foundation-building pills, a low-grade spiritual weapon, and two bottles of foundation-building pills.

Therefore, he is extremely careful and nervous, fearing that he will encounter robbery and make wedding clothes for others.

With Mo Jingchun's strength, he is naturally not afraid of ordinary opponents. Even if he encounters the top disciples of various sects, he can retreat unscathed, but if he falls into a siege, there is no chance of luck.

When he entered the inner ring before, he encountered disciples from Ziyang Sect and Guiyuan Sect who joined forces to block the inner ring passage.

Mo Jingchun saw that the situation was not good, so he escaped in time, took out his identity jade card, summoned his fellow disciples, and broke through the passage together.

Zhu Luoqing happened to be nearby and came after hearing the news.

The two had known each other before and had had conflicts, but at this time, they also put aside the differences between the orthodox and the casual cultivation lineages, and waited for six fellow disciples to join forces to break through the formation.

The passage they wanted to break through was on the south side of the ring mountain range, guarded by a Guiyuan Sect earth spirit root cultivator and fourteen disciples from the two sects.

The eight people from Lingyun Sect joined forces, and there were two masters, Zhu Luoqing and Mo Jingchun, to fight against these fifteen people, but they were still not at a disadvantage and successfully broke through the passage.

However, two disciples of Lingyun Sect died in the fight, and only one disciple from the two sects died.

After entering the inner ring, Mo Jingchun separated from his fellow disciples and searched for spiritual herbs alone.

The others were all orthodox cultivators, and Zhu Luoqing had had conflicts with him. The secret realm was not bound by the rules of the sect, so Mo Jingchun did not dare to go with them.

But he was searching for spiritual herbs alone, and he had to be wary of disciples from various sects. He did not dare to let go, and the harvest was very little.

Unfortunately, he waited for two hours in Luoxing Mountain, but never waited for Chen Yuan, otherwise it would be much easier for the two of them to collect spiritual herbs together.

Fortunately, he had a lot of Fuling Pills in his hand, so he didn't have to waste time on restoring mana, and the efficiency of searching for spiritual herbs was greatly improved.

Every time he took Fuling Pills, Mo Jingchun would think of Chen Yuan.

He didn't know why Chen Yuan didn't go to Luoxing Mountain. Did he encounter an accident or couldn't go there for some reason? He was quite worried.

But the secret realm was full of dangers, and Mo Jingchun had no time to be distracted. He could only bury this worry in his heart and concentrate on searching for spiritual herbs.

But Ziyang Sect and Guiyuan Sect jointly blocked the inner ring passage, so how could they leave the spiritual herbs to others?

Mo Jingchun followed the map given by Xu Changan and explored several places in succession. All the spiritual herbs were picked.

However, he was lucky. On the way, he met a disciple of Mingyin Valley fighting with a disciple of Ziyang Sect.

While the mantis stalks the cicada, the oriole is behind. Mo Jingchun took advantage of the fierce battle between the two and suddenly attacked. He used thundering means to kill the two and took away the spiritual herbs from their hands.

The disciples of Mingyin Valley had few spiritual herbs, only more than 40 plants.

But the disciple of Ziyang Sect had more than 100 spiritual herbs, including more than 40 three-hundred-year-old spiritual herbs, which made Mo Jingchun overjoyed.

These spiritual herbs were enough to exchange for two foundation-building pills. At this time, five days had passed since the secret realm was opened. Mo Jingchun decided to stop and no longer search for spiritual herbs.

It took him a day to walk out of the inner ring. After that, he encountered disciples from Wanshou Mountain and Guiyuan Sect and killed them. After the counterattack, the number of spiritual herbs in his hands increased to more than 200 plants, and the harvest was extremely rich.

What he had to do now was to return to the place where he entered the secret realm, wait for the secret realm passage to open, activate the guiding talisman, and leave the secret realm.

This area was extremely large, with a radius of dozens of miles, and was called the "Guiding Land". It was the weakest part of the Dongxu Mountain secret realm, and disciples from all sects entered and left from here.

Mo Jingchun was cautious and moved slowly. In another two hours, he would be able to enter the guiding land.

Suddenly, his face changed slightly, and he stroked his storage bag and took out the identity jade card of the Lingyun sect disciple.

The jade card emitted light, and a white auspicious cloud rose and floated in one direction.

This was a disciple of the Lingyun sect, calling for his fellow disciples.

Mo Jingchun frowned slightly, hesitated for a moment, and followed.

The white auspicious cloud floated more than a hundred feet away and stopped outside a valley.

Mo Jingchun put away his identity jade card, performed the light body technique, climbed to the top of the valley, and looked into the valley.

In the valley, three cultivators were fighting.

Two of them were wearing the standard robes of Lingyun Sect disciples, one male and one female. Mo Jingchun happened to recognize these two people, Xue Lin and Song Qingru.

The two people opposite, both wearing purple clothes, were disciples of Ziyang Sect.

One of the handsome monks controlled two top-grade magic weapons and suppressed Xue Lin and Song Qingru firmly with his own strength. The other person was just icing on the cake.

Song Qingru's pretty face was frosty. She controlled a light gauze magic weapon to protect herself. She held the identity jade card in her left hand, on which there was a white auspicious cloud, hovering motionlessly.

The handsome monk sneered:

"You two fellow Taoists, why don't you surrender? Do you really think someone will come to save you?"

Xue Lin heard this and sneered, sarcastically:

"Fellow Taoist Qi is so powerful, why don't you show your power when we break into the inner ring passage?"
