Nine Transformations of the True Spirit

Tiantai Peak, in the Spiritual Medicine Garden.

Chen Yuan stood in the valley, looking up at the surging spiritual energy storm outside the forbidden light curtain.

Around him, there were hundreds of spiritual grass seedlings that had just broken through the ground.

Seven days ago, the spiritual energy storm blew again in the secret realm, which was a sign of the sinking of the large spiritual vein energy.

When the storm stopped, the six sects would open the secret realm, and Chen Yuan would also have the opportunity to break the ban.

About two hours later, the spiritual energy storm slowly stopped, and when the last colorful spiritual light flew over, the world returned to peace.

Chen Yuan drove the escape light and came under the forbidden light curtain, then stroked the storage bag, took out the array plate, and reluctantly placed three medium-grade spiritual stones on the array plate.

The spiritual energy in the medium-grade spiritual stone is much richer than that of the low-grade spiritual stone, and it has a wide range of uses. It can be used to make pills, refine equipment, set up arrays, and practice, but in order to break the ban, it can only be used here.

Chen Yuan raised his hand and made a gesture, injecting mana into the array disk. The array disk hummed and emitted seven colors of light: red, white, gold, blue, yellow, green, and blue. The seven colors merged into a beam and shot onto the forbidden light curtain.

The light curtain was rippled, and a circular passage slowly emerged.

Chen Yuan's figure flashed and flew into it.

A moment later, he passed through the passage and came to the top of Tiantai Peak.

On the lake behind him, a whirlpool was slowly turning and gradually shrinking.

Chen Yuan looked up and saw that the sky was cloudless, blue and clear, and he felt as if he was in another world.

He looked around, identified a direction, drove the escape light, rose to a height of ten feet above the ground, and flew away.

He was going to a spiritual medicine garden recorded on the secret map. Its restrictions were not too strong and could be broken by foundation-building cultivators, but the spiritual medicines in it were extremely precious, two kinds of five-hundred-year-old spiritual herbs.

None of the maps from various sects that Chen Yuan had obtained described this spiritual medicine garden. He planned to try his luck. Perhaps this spiritual medicine garden had not been discovered yet.

But Chen Yuan had just flown less than ten miles when he encountered a group of black strange birds.

This bird is called "Yiming Bird". It has black feathers, looks like a swallow, and has very sharp claws. It is a first-level high-level monster. It lives in groups, has a fierce personality, and has a strong sense of territory.

Chen Yuan kept flying, stroked his storage bag, took out five seven-star blades, and threw them forward.

The five short blades turned into five black streams of light, facing the flock of birds, and suddenly separated, attacking in groups, and crisscrossing in the air, cutting all the dozen Yiming birds into two.

If Chen Yuan had encountered this group of Yiming birds before he established his foundation, he could only flee.

But now, he used his true essence to control the magic weapon, and his power increased greatly, easily killing the first-level high-level monster.

After that, Chen Yuan encountered two groups of monsters attacking him, and he resolved them with a single move.

Chen Yuan deeply realized that every breakthrough in cultivation level was a world of difference.

Now, unless there were hundreds of first-level monsters gathered together, they would not pose any threat to him.

About half an hour later, Chen Yuan crossed a hundred miles and came to the place where the spiritual medicine garden was located. He stopped his escape light and stopped in the air.

This spiritual medicine garden is the same as the Tiantai Peak spiritual medicine garden. It is also a valley with deep forests and dense grass, and the valley is quiet.

Chen Yuan did not act rashly. He first spread his spiritual consciousness and explored the valley to investigate the situation in the valley.

Suddenly, he frowned, fell to the ground, and walked into the valley.

The valley is about dozens of acres in size, with lush vegetation at the entrance of the valley, but the further you go, the sparser the vegetation becomes, until it becomes a bare patch.

Deep in the valley, a lion-like monster about ten feet in size, with a mane as red as fire and a cluster of flames burning on its tail, was lying on the ground, sleeping soundly with its eyes closed.

Chen Yuan had a map of the secret realm with him, and he remembered the characteristics of various monsters in the secret realm in his mind. He recognized at a glance that this beast was called "Fire Tail Lion", a second-level monster.

Its body was as hard as iron, it was extremely powerful, and it could spit flames from its mouth. Among the second-level monsters, it was also an extremely difficult one, and it was very rare in the outside world.

The Dongxu Mountain Secret Realm has existed for tens of thousands of years, and most of the monsters in it are alien species passed down from ancient times, with strong strength.

Next to the Fire Tail Lion, there were seven or eight spiritual herbs growing, half a foot high, red all over, with gorgeous flowers on the top. They were the five-hundred-year-old spiritual herbs "Flame Spirit Flower" growing in the spiritual medicine garden here.

The place where this flower grows is within a radius of five feet, and no grass grows. Seven or eight plants gather in one place, and the surrounding thirty feet are all red soil.

Chen Yuan shook his head slightly. It seemed that the spiritual medicine garden here had been destroyed long ago and occupied by this fire-tailed lion, which had become its nest.

His true energy turned, dispersing the cover on the power of the stars in his body.

After a while, the sleeping fire-tailed lion's nose twitched slightly, suddenly opened his eyes, roared, stood up and pounced on Chen Yuan.

The pupils of this beast were red, and it looked extremely terrifying. It pounced two steps, opened its mouth wide, and spewed out a stream of fire, attacking Chen Yuan.

Chen Yuan stroked his storage bag, took out the fixed light mirror, threw it in front of him, and pointed: "Quick!"

The fixed light mirror emitted a thick white light column that was as solid as a substance, shooting at the flowing fire. The two collided in the air and annihilated together.

The fire-tailed lion kept spewing out three or four streams of fire from its mouth, covering Chen Yuan.

Chen Yuan stood still, the true energy in his body circulated, and controlled the fixed light mirror to emit white light columns, destroying the flowing fire one by one.

After he established his foundation, it became much easier for him to control the best magic weapon, and he could continue to stimulate the maximum power of the Dingguang Realm.

After the fire-tailed lion spewed out three or four streams of fire, it pounced in front of Chen Yuan, and its claws ignited red flames, grabbing him.

This is another innate magical power of the Fire Tailed Lion. Its claws are already hard, and with the addition of flames, they can cut metal and iron. Even the best magic weapon can be broken with one strike.

But Chen Yuan did not dodge, raised his hand and grabbed it back, holding the Fire Tailed Lion's front paw!

The flames on the Fire Tailed Lion's claws suddenly jumped up and burned towards Chen Yuan, but even Chen Yuan's palm could not be burned through.

Looking carefully, it turned out that Chen Yuan was wearing a pair of transparent gloves as thin as cicada wings, which were intact under the burning of the flames.

If the Fire Tailed Lion still had reason, it would be alert to see that its own flames were ineffective.

But at this time, he only wanted to eat Chen Yuan, and fell into madness. When he failed to hit him, the other front paw ignited flames again and grabbed him.

Chen Yuan sneered, raised his left hand, clenched it into a fist, and swung it suddenly, hitting the Fire Tailed Lion's claws.

With a crisp sound, the Fire Tailed Lion's front paw broke and let out a miserable howl.

Although this beast has great strength, it is far inferior to Chen Yuan, whose body is comparable to that of a fourth-level demon beast.

Chen Yuan's left hand was hit by a huge recoil force, but it only trembled slightly, then stretched out like lightning and grabbed the throat of the fire-tailed lion.

The fire-tailed lion had regained some rationality at this time, and hurriedly raised its head to avoid it, but its left claw was caught by Chen Yuan, and it was caught by Chen Yuan in time.

In desperation, it used its last desperate means, the flame on its tail suddenly grew larger, and its mane was on fire, forcing Chen Yuan to let go.

A wave of heat came over him, but Chen Yuan ignored it, and his gloves were not burned through by the flames. He squeezed the throat of the fire-tailed lion with force, and then punched its head a few times, killing the beast completely.

After the fire-tailed lion died, the flames on its body went out, but the flames on its tail were still burning tenaciously.

Chen Yuan took out the silver sword, peeled off its fur, cut off its tail, and put it into the storage bag.

He then cut open the heart of the fire-tailed lion, took out a thumb-sized red round bead, put it in a wooden box, and kept it.

This is the most valuable material on the fire-tailed lion. The fur can be made into talisman paper, and the tail can be used as a spiritual material to refine spiritual tools.

The red round bead is the natal demon pill condensed by the fire-tailed lion after it broke through the second level. It contains the essence and blood of its whole body and is the most precious.

In addition, the blood of the fire-tailed lion can be mixed with the blood of several other second-level fire-type monsters, blended with cinnabar, and used to draw fire-type spiritual talismans.

But the method of taking blood is quite troublesome, and there are not many spiritual stones that can be exchanged, so Chen Yuan is too lazy to do it.

Then, he condensed a fireball and wanted to burn the body of the fire-tailed lion to ashes.

But at this moment, he had a thought, dispersed the fireball, and probed his consciousness into the body of the fire-tailed lion to examine it carefully.

After a moment, he nodded slightly, and a look of understanding appeared on his face: "Sure enough..."

He found the deposited evil aura in the flesh and blood of the fire-tailed lion.

These evil spirits have penetrated into the bones of the fire-tailed lion and mixed with its demonic power.

Chen Yuan took out the red demon pill again and found that there was also a very faint evil spirit in it.

He frowned and injected true essence into the demon pill to remove the evil spirit.

A gray breath rose from the demon pill and slowly dissipated.

This fire-tailed lion should have just become a second-level demon beast not long ago. In a few years, the evil spirit will completely erode the demon pill and kill it on the spot.

No wonder there are so many first-level demon beasts in the secret realm of Dongxu Mountain after thousands of years, but not many second-level or higher.

Under the erosion of evil spirits, demon beasts will die at most after cultivating to the second level.

Chen Yuan was even more afraid of the evil spirit. He picked the seven flame spirit flowers, drove the escape light, left the valley, and flew to another spiritual medicine garden.

During the flight, he was harassed by two demon birds, one of which was a second-level demon bird.

He used the power of the Zhoutian stars in his body to lure it over, tore it in half, and continued on his way.

This second-level demon bird had iron feathers, as sharp as a sword. Fortunately, Chen Yuan was wearing the gloves he got from Du Yu, so there was no damage at all.

This pair of gloves was transparent, as thin as a cicada's wing, soft and delicate to the touch, but after injecting the true essence, it became extremely tough and not afraid of water and fire.

Chen Yuan didn't know what material it was made of, but it must be an extremely extraordinary spiritual material.

When he fought with Du Yu, Du Yu wore this pair of gloves and could block the best magic weapon.

After Chen Yuan practiced "True Spirit Nine Transformations", he wore this pair of gloves on his hands, exerted his huge strength, and fought with the demon beast in melee, with remarkable results.

If possible, he also wanted to use magical powers to fight the enemy, rather than fighting with the demon beast in melee.

But "True Spirit Nine Transformations" is different from ordinary exercises. There is only the method of cultivation. All magical powers and Taoist techniques all rely on the true spirit essence and blood that have been refined into the body.

If Chen Yuan wanted to learn the body cultivation supernatural power, he could only collect it separately or refine a kind of true spirit essence and blood, and then he would naturally learn the innate supernatural power.

Fortunately, he had another body cultivation method, "Demon God Jue", which recorded a supernatural secret technique. When Chen Yuan broke through to the middle stage of foundation building, he could practice it.

There are many supernatural secret techniques in "Demon God Jue", as many as five or six, but except for this one, the other ones need to practice "Demon God Jue" before they can be practiced, which is not for Chen Yuan.

…

An hour later, Chen Yuan came to the foot of a mountain with soft contours and full of green pines.

He stopped the escape light, watched for a moment, determined the direction, entered the mountain, and came to a mountain wall.

This mountain wall is five or six feet high, covered with a thick layer of vines.

Chen Yuan was delighted, spread his consciousness, and explored the mountain wall.

Behind this mountain wall is the second spiritual medicine garden. Judging from the situation here, it should not have been discovered yet.

But when Chen Yuan's consciousness touched the mountain wall, he found that the mountain wall looked extremely rigid and stiff, and it was completely unlike a natural creation.

His heart sank, and he took out the Dingguang mirror, emitting a thick white light column that seemed to be substantial, shining on the mountain wall.

The mountain wall fluctuated, shattered like a mirror, and turned into a thick fog.

Chen Yuan's face changed slightly. This spiritual medicine garden had been taken by someone else, and the formation had been set up again.

His eyes turned cold, and he pinched the magic formula with his hand, urging the true essence in his body, and the Dingguang mirror shot out a second white light column, shooting into the thick fog.

Whoosh!

Several golden light arrows flew out of the thick fog and shot at the Dingguang mirror.

Chen Yuan's magic formula changed, and the Dingguang mirror shot out three white light columns in a row, sweeping away these golden light arrows one by one.

He pondered for a moment, took out the Yin Gang sword again, threw it into the thick fog, and continued to test the power of the formation.

This time, several vines flew out of the thick fog, trying to entangle the Silver Gang Sword, but were easily cut into several pieces by the Silver Gang Sword.

Then there were meteors, flying fire, water waves, falling rocks, and flying rocks, all of which were easily blocked by Chen Yuan.

Chen Yuan felt relieved. This was a five-element formation, but it was not powerful.

He walked into the fog, controlled the magic weapon, blocked all the attacks, and came to the deepest part of the thick fog.

There was a layer of black forbidden light curtain here, blocking Chen Yuan's way.

He punched more than a dozen times in a row, and blasted the light curtain open.

The light curtain was broken, and the formation disintegrated. The thick fog dissipated, revealing the scene behind the mountain wall.

This is also a valley, about dozens of acres in size, with more than 30 spiritual herbs planted on the ground, but they are far from mature, and obviously they have been planted not long ago.

Five formation flags were inserted into the ground, broken into two pieces, and there was a deep crack on the formation plate in the middle.

The person who discovered the spiritual medicine garden here, like him, regarded this spiritual medicine garden as his own, and wanted to make it last for a long time, so he set up the formation again and planted spiritual herbs.

However, Chen Yuan restored the restriction, which was not only powerful but also extremely hidden and difficult to break.

In this spiritual medicine garden, only a five-element formation with little power could be set up, which was easily broken by him.

In the southwest corner of the valley, there is a two-story building that is exactly the same as the Tiantai Peak Spiritual Medicine Garden, with the door closed.

Chen Yuan walked into the small building and turned around. It was empty.

He did not stay any longer, nor did he pick those immature spiritual herbs. He left the valley directly, drove the escape light, and flew to the west.

He was unlucky. One of the two spiritual medicine gardens that were sure to break the restriction had been destroyed, and the other was taken by someone else.

But the secret realm of Dongxu Mountain lacked everything except spiritual herbs.

At this moment, Chen Yuan was the strongest in the secret realm. If he wanted spiritual herbs, he could still rob them!

Thanks to Tian Nu Si Shen Jue and cellma for the reward!

The matter has been handled and will resume normal updates tomorrow.
