Nine Transformations of the True Spirit

The inner ring of the secret realm, the central area.

A group of people walked through the forest, four of them were wearing purple clothes, they were disciples of Ziyang Sect.

The other two monks, wearing the standard robes of Guiyuan Sect, followed behind the four people, nodding their heads and lowering their eyebrows.

The leader was tall and thin, with slightly red eyes, revealing a fierce light, and a light figure. With a step, he floated ten feet away. After that, everyone had to try their best to keep up.

About two quarters of an hour later, the six people came to a lake and stopped.

This place was silent, but the ground beside the lake was a swamp, and the ground was in a mess, as if it had been flooded by a flood, and there were large patches of blood, which was shocking to look at.

Seeing this, everyone's face changed slightly, and the leader's face darkened: "Which place is this?"

A round-faced, beardless cultivator beside him replied: "Brother Yin, this is the fifth place."

Even though both of them were Qi-refining cultivators, he was extremely respectful to the tall and thin cultivator, as if he was facing a teacher.

The tall and thin cultivator waved his sleeves, performed the light body technique, and walked in another direction, saying: "Go to the next place!"

The other five people hurriedly followed, but they all had strong doubts in their hearts.

After they met in the outer ring, they entered the inner ring under the leadership of Brother Yin and went straight to the central area, specifically looking for second-level monsters and collecting spiritual herbs.

And the places they went to were all places where second-level monsters with strong bloodlines were entrenched, and disciples of various sects did not dare to provoke them in the past.

But they dared to do so, of course they were fully confident.

But when the six people with full confidence came to the first dangerous place, they were empty-handed.

The monsters here had been killed, and the spiritual herbs had been picked up, leaving no corpses behind.

They just thought they were unlucky and didn't take it to heart.

Every dangerous place in the secret realm had spiritual herbs growing on it, which could help monsters increase their power, and monsters often fought over it.

The monsters in this dangerous place should have been killed by another level 2 monster.

The winning monster should have been seriously injured, so it didn't occupy this place, but ate up all the spiritual herbs and found another place to recover.

This kind of thing has happened before, and disciples from various sects often encountered seriously injured level 2 monsters, killed them together, and harvested a batch of valuable monster materials.

The six people rushed to the next dangerous place to hunt monsters.

But what shocked them was that the monsters in the second dangerous place had also been killed, and all the spiritual herbs had been taken away.

Not only that, the monsters and spiritual herbs in the third and fourth dangerous places were all gone.

This lake was the fifth dangerous place that the six people came to, but they still got nothing.

Even if there were monsters fighting, it would not happen so frequently, and it was even more impossible for all the monsters to eat up all the spiritual herbs.

But if someone got there first, it would not make sense.

Although there were no monster corpses left in these five dangerous places, the traces looked very much like two monsters fighting in close combat, not hunted by cultivators.

And apart from the Ziyang Sect, they did not think that there were any cultivators who could hunt these powerful second-level monsters.

But after five consecutive dangerous places, they got nothing, which made everyone very depressed.

Senior Brother Yin, who was in the lead, was even more angry and wanted to find the culprit and fight him.

After half an hour, the six people came to the sixth dangerous place, which was a dark cave entrance, about ten feet in size, and bottomless.

This cave entrance leads to a cave. Once, Ziyang Sect disciples teamed up to explore it, but they were eaten by the second-level monsters in the cave, leaving only two lucky ones alive.

They did not gain nothing. They saw the spiritual grass growing in the cave, called "Moyin Mushroom", which is a 500-year-old spiritual grass and is quite rare in the outside world.

Later, Ziyang Sect disciples also entered the cave one after another to try to collect this spiritual grass.

Although the monsters in the cave changed several times, they were all fierce. These Ziyang Sect disciples suffered heavy casualties and returned without success. Gradually, no one dared to enter the cave.

But this time, Senior Brother Yin did not hesitate and walked in first.

The other five people had to be much more cautious, spread their spiritual senses, and followed carefully behind.

After entering the cave entrance, the passage went down diagonally and was pitch black.

Senior Brother Yin's eyes emitted a faint red light, and he did not take out any lighting objects, but he still moved freely.

After that, the five people took out night pearls, fluorescent stones, etc. to illuminate the way forward.

The six people walked for dozens of feet, and the view in front of them suddenly opened up, and they came to a cave.

This cave is dozens of acres in size, more than ten feet high, and is full of strange stone pillars connecting the upper and lower parts.

There are stalactites hanging above their heads, and water keeps dripping down, falling into the pits on the ground, making a dripping sound.

The walls of the cave are covered with mosses that emit green fluorescence, illuminating the entire cave.

Brother Yin stepped into this place and shouted immediately: "Are there any monsters here? Get out!"

This shout was like thunder, spreading throughout the cave, and the echo was rumbling, which startled the five people behind him.

But they did not dare to complain at all, and hurriedly spread their spiritual consciousness to guard against the monsters' sneak attacks.

"Hiss!"

The next moment, a hissing sound came out, followed by a sharp friction sound, which sounded continuously.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a poisonous scorpion about ten feet long, with a white shell and a several-foot-long curved hook on its back. It waved its two ferocious claws, and went out from behind the stone pillar and headed straight for Senior Brother Yin.

The red color in Senior Brother Yin's eyes suddenly became stronger, and he laughed loudly, "Come on!"

He stroked his storage bag, took out a big knife, and went straight to fight with the poisonous scorpion!

The five people behind him saw this scene, but their expressions were normal. They all offered up magic weapons and helped.

Ding Ding Ding!

Senior Brother Yin waved the big knife and fought with the poisonous scorpion. With his huge strength, he actually suppressed the second-level poisonous scorpion firmly.

However, the poisonous scorpion is not known for its strength. After it fell into a disadvantage, it drove the tail hook that was several feet long and kept stabbing Senior Brother Yin.

The tail hook was extremely fast, leaving a trail of afterimages, but Senior Brother Yin did not dodge or avoid it. He shouted loudly, and his muscles suddenly swelled up. The red light in his eyes was as strong as substance. He changed from a tall and thin man to a sturdy man. He ignored the tail hook and continued to attack the poisonous scorpion!

Bang Bang Bang!

The tail hook pierced Brother Yin's body, making a dull sound like rotten leather, leaving white spots, but it could not pierce Brother Yin's skin.

At the same time, the other five people attacked with magic weapons, and the scorpion was besieged and had to raise its chelicerae to resist, and opened its mouth to spray a large amount of green venom, trying to pollute the magic weapon.

But the five people were just pretending to attack and contain it. Seeing this, they immediately withdrew their magic weapons and avoided the venom.

Brother Yin took this opportunity to stomp the ground with his feet, rushed to the side of the scorpion, and swung his big knife to cut off its left chelicerae!

"Hiss!"

The scorpion was severely injured and was afraid. It sprayed a large mouthful of venom at Brother Yin and turned to escape.

After Brother Yin's body grew bigger, not only did his strength increase greatly, but he was also extremely agile. He dodged and stopped the scorpion, preventing it from escaping.

The other five people controlled the magic weapons and contained it. In less than a quarter of an hour, Brother Yin successfully killed the scorpion.

Senior Brother Yin looked at the corpse of the poisonous scorpion on the ground, snorted coldly, and his anger subsided a little.

After passing through six dangerous places, he finally stopped getting nothing.

He put away his sword, and his figure turned back into that of a master, and the red color in his eyes also faded a little.

At the same time, the round-faced monk from the Ziyang Sect entered the depths of the cave, picked the six black yin mushrooms guarded by the poisonous scorpion, and at the same time took off the monster materials on the poisonous scorpion one by one and put them into the storage bag.

Senior Brother Yin nodded slightly: "Let's go to the next place!"

After that, he turned and walked out of the cave.

The remaining five people hurriedly followed, looking at Senior Brother Yin with awe.

They knew that Senior Brother Yin was confident in dealing with the second-level monster, but they didn't know that he used such a barbaric and brutal method.

After everyone walked out of the cave, the round-faced monk's eyes suddenly lit up and said, "Brother Yin, could the people who killed all the monsters in the five dangerous places before be other brothers in the sect?"

As far as he knew, in addition to Brother Yin, Ziyang Sect also sent five other disciples who were capable of fighting against level 2 monsters to search for spiritual herbs during this trip to the secret realm.

Brother Yin could fight with the poisonous scorpion, so could the other five also fight monsters?

Hearing this, Brother Yin was slightly startled, then shook his head and said, "I have fought with them. If they did it, there would be traces left. It must be someone else."

The round-faced monk's face changed slightly: "Doesn't that mean that in addition to our sect, there are people in the secret realm who are as powerful as the foundation-building cultivators?"

The other four people all changed their faces, and the two Guiyuan Sect disciples were even more shocked.

They always thought that only Qi-refining monks could enter the Dongxu Mountain Secret Realm.

Ziyang Sect sent Brother Yin, who was as powerful as a foundation-building cultivator, in, which was beyond their imagination.

Could it be that other sects also had ways to circumvent the restrictions of the secret realm?

Brother Yin sneered, "Don't worry, Brother Tang, this guy just walked ahead of us and killed a few level 2 monsters. Even if he also has the strength of a foundation-building cultivator, what is there to fear with the six of us? Just chase him and kill him!"

When everyone heard this, they remembered the scene of his great power just now, and they felt relieved and followed Brother Yin and walked forward.

Five hours later, the six people had penetrated nearly a hundred miles into the inner ring.

After coming out of the cave, they never missed again. Every time they went to a place, Brother Yin led them to kill monsters and pick spiritual herbs, and the harvest was extremely rich.

This time, they killed a level 2 python monster, took a breath, recovered their magic power, and continued on their way to the next dangerous place.

Just as they were about to set off, a beam of light flew in from a distance and stopped in front of them.

The six people's faces changed drastically. They looked up and saw a young monk with sword-like eyebrows, bright eyes, and a lively look. He stood with his hands behind his back, suspended in the air, looked down, and said lightly: "Hand over your storage bags!"
