Nine Transformations of the True Spirit

Chen Yuan's expression condensed, and he probed his consciousness into the demon pill.

The demon aura emitted by this demon pill was extremely faint. If it weren't for Chen Yuan's amazing consciousness, he would have missed it.

After Chen Yuan's investigation, he found that the essence, blood and demon power accumulated in the demon pill had been consumed by a quarter.

It is not difficult to see that this demon pill is the source of Yin Ze's great strength, and the method of transformation he used should also be related to the demon pill.

Chen Yuan hunted monsters these two days and got dozens of second-level demon pills, but none of them can compare with this demon pill.

Judging from the demon power in it, this should be a fourth-level demon pill, which is definitely not something that Yin Ze, a Qi-refining cultivator, can possess.

There must be a high-level cultivator of Ziyang Sect who implanted this demon pill into Yin Ze's heart, allowing him to gain great strength and master the art of transformation, with strength comparable to that of a foundation-building cultivator.

If it weren't for Chen Yuan, a physical cultivator, an ordinary foundation-building cultivator would probably die on the spot under Yin Ze's surprise attack.

Ziyang Sect was very generous, using the fourth-level demon pill on the Qi-refining disciples.

However, with this method, it is equivalent to sending the foundation-building cultivators into the secret realm of Dongxu Mountain, where they can collect more rare spiritual herbs. It is a sure-win business.

Chen Yuan looked at the demon pill thoughtfully, and an idea came to his mind.

Since Ziyang Sect did this, it would definitely not send only Yin Ze into the secret realm, otherwise not many spiritual herbs could be collected.

But the number of people with demon pills implanted in their bodies should not be too many.

Yin Ze has a fourth-level demon pill in his body, but his strength is only comparable to that of a second-level demon beast.

The demon pills implanted in other people's bodies are at least fourth-level demon pills, otherwise it would be difficult to deal with the second-level demon beasts in the secret realm.

The fourth-level demon pill is not easy to come by, and this method of implanting the demon pill into the cultivator's body is very strange. There should also be some requirements for the person who implants the demon pill, and not everyone can do it.

This gave Chen Yuan an opportunity. He could specifically search for these Ziyang Sect disciples and snatch the spiritual herbs from them.

He originally wanted to personally snatch the spiritual herbs from the disciples of various sects, but now it seems that there is no need to be so troublesome.

Ziyang Sect spent a lot of money to implant demon pills in the bodies of its disciples and sent them into the secret realm. They would definitely not let go of the spiritual herbs in the hands of the disciples of various sects.

He could just wait for them to snatch the spiritual herbs and then snatch them back. Not only would he not offend the major sects, but he could also focus their hatred on Ziyang Sect.

After leaving the secret realm, he would expose Ziyang Sect's plot in front of the Jindan cultivators of various sects to attract their attention to Ziyang Sect. His ten years of staying in the secret realm and breaking through the foundation would not be so eye-catching.

Chen Yuan made a plan and no longer hesitated. He raised his hand to condense a fireball, flicked his finger, burned Yin Ze's body to ashes, identified the direction, and headed west.

To do this, he must first find the Ziyang Sect disciple who has implanted the demon pill, follow him, and wait for him to rob his disciples before "doing justice for the heaven".

Therefore, he cannot fly in the sky, otherwise he will attract the attention of others.

Chen Yuan performed the light body technique, spread his spiritual sense, and rushed to a dangerous place he had never been to.

Just now, when his spiritual sense probed into the storage bags of these six people, he found seven second-level demon pills and a batch of demon beast materials.

They had been hunting demon beasts and collecting spiritual herbs before.

Other people who implanted demon pills would definitely do the same before robbing disciples of various sects.

Chen Yuan only needs to walk through the dangerous places he has not been to, and there is a high probability that he will meet Ziyang Sect disciples.

A quarter of an hour later, Chen Yuan came to a swamp and found that the second-level demon beasts here were still there, and the spiritual herbs had not been picked by anyone.

He killed the demon beast casually, picked the spiritual herbs, and rushed to the next dangerous place.

In the next hour, Chen Yuan walked through three dangerous places in a row, but did not encounter any disciples of Ziyang Sect.

Finally, when he came to the fourth dangerous place, the monsters here had been killed and the spiritual herbs had been picked.

Chen Yuan looked at the bloody corpse of the monster lying on the ground, and his heart was relieved.

This monster was obviously killed in a hand-to-hand fight with people. It should be the work of a disciple of Ziyang Sect who implanted a demon pill.

After killing the monster, this person did not destroy the corpse. It was obvious that he did not think that anyone could threaten him. He was extremely arrogant.

Little did he know that this provided great convenience for Chen Yuan to track his tracks.

He carefully observed the traces on the ground and walked to the north.

Half an hour later, Chen Yuan came to a small hill about 300 feet high. There were seven more figures within the coverage of his spiritual sense.

These seven people were all disciples of Ziyang Sect, fighting with a level 2 monster.

This second-level monster is recorded on the map of the secret realm. It is called "Scaled Tiger". It has a leopard tail and a tiger head. It is covered with scales and armor. It is agile, leaving afterimages. Its sharp claws emit a black glow that can destroy magic weapons. It is extremely difficult to deal with and is definitely not a match for Qi-refining cultivators.

The leader of the Ziyang Sect is a young cultivator with loose hair. He is extremely brave and fights the monster in close combat without losing the upper hand.

There is a thick layer of yellow light on its body, which is extremely tough. The sharp claws of the scaled tiger hit it and can only return in vain.

The hair-spreading cultivator entangled the scaled tiger, and the other six people controlled magic weapons and harassed it from the side. With the combined strength of the seven people, they had a great upper hand.

The scaled tiger had wounds on his body frequently, and he knew that this would not be good. He tried to avoid the hair-spreading cultivator several times and kill the six Ziyang Sect disciples.

Whenever this happened, the yellow light on the hair-spreading cultivator's body would suddenly light up, and the scaled tiger's body would suddenly stagnate and be entangled by the hair-spreading cultivator again.

Half a minute later, the scaly tiger's body was covered with wounds. The monk with untied hair seized the opportunity and smashed its head with a few punches.

The other six Ziyang Sect disciples took back their magic tools, one of them picked the spiritual herbs, and the other dealt with the monster materials, followed the monk with long hair and walked down the mountain.

Chen Yuan followed the seven people one hundred and twenty feet away.

He could see clearly that the yellow light on the monk's body was a kind of earth-based secret technique with strong defensive ability.

When the light was shining, the scale tiger's body would stagnate and be entangled by the monk with long hair again, which looked extremely strange.

If it were an ordinary cultivator, it would be difficult to understand the doorway, but Chen Yuan saw at a glance that the monk with long hair must have changed the gravity around him, so that the scale tiger could not escape.

This person is much stronger than Yin Ze and can use two secret techniques.

But no matter how powerful he is, he also used a trick. Compared with the real foundation-building cultivator, he is still much inferior.

What's more, Chen Yuan is a physical cultivator, and it is difficult to find an opponent among the cultivators of the same level. If he fights in close combat, he can kill the monk with long hair in two or three moves.

However, according to Chen Yuan's plan, he needed to kill the monk with long hair in front of his disciples. He could not use his great strength and could only control the magic weapon to fight the enemy, which became much more difficult.

But Chen Yuan thought about it and felt that this was not a bad thing. He smiled and continued to follow.

...

In the next hour, the monk with long hair and his party passed through four dangerous places.

The monsters in two of the dangerous places had been killed by Chen Yuan long ago, and the spiritual herbs had been picked, leaving them empty-handed.

They had encountered this situation before when they entered the center of the inner ring. They thought it was done by their fellow disciples and did not take it seriously.

There were monsters surviving in the remaining two dangerous places, and they were killed by the seven people and the spiritual herbs were picked.

After leaving the fourth dangerous place, the monk with long hair and his party unexpectedly met three disciples of Tiangang Sword Sect.

The two sects have always had a bad relationship, and the disciples of the sects have frequent conflicts. When the enemies met, they were particularly jealous and immediately fought.

The disciples of Tiangang Sword Sect are all sword cultivators with strong strength. They are not afraid of seven opponents.

However, the strength of the monk with long hair is far beyond the expectations of the three people. He killed one person with his strength under the siege of three flying swords, and the other six people worked together to kill the remaining three disciples of Tiangang Sword Sect one by one.

During this period, Chen Yuan just watched coldly and had no intention of taking action.

The monk with long hair only robbed one group of cultivators, and it was not time to take action.

After killing three disciples of Tiangang Sword Sect, the monk with long hair recovered his mana and continued to rush to the next dangerous place.

In the next four hours, while they were hunting monsters and collecting spiritual herbs, they encountered two more groups of cultivators.

They were three disciples of Wanshou Mountain and two disciples of Mingyin Valley, and three disciples of Lingyun Sect and two disciples of Tiangang Sword Sect.

Both groups of cultivators were killed by the monk with long hair, and all the spiritual herbs in their hands were robbed.

However, two Ziyang Sect disciples died in the fight, leaving only four people, who continued to follow the monk with long hair and hunt monsters.

Chen Yuan followed the five people from a distance, his expression becoming more and more stern.

Another hour later, in the early morning, the monk with long hair and his group met four Lingyun Sect disciples again.

They naturally would not miss this good opportunity to rob the spiritual herbs, and immediately surrounded them and ordered the four to hand over the spiritual herbs in their hands.

The Lingyun Sect disciples saw that their opponents only had one more person than them, and they were not afraid at all, and retorted.

After a few words, the two sides started fighting.

The monk with long hair laughed grimly, a thick layer of yellow light appeared on his body, and he rushed towards the four people.

Seeing this, the Lingyun Sect disciples were stunned, and then showed a sarcastic look on their faces, and controlled the magic weapon to attack.

This person must be crazy, rushing up straight, can he still resist the magic weapon?

Ding ding ding ding!

A few crisp sounds were heard, and the expressions of the four people froze. The yellow light on the body of the monk with long hair was hit by four magic weapons, but it was intact!

At the same time, the other four Ziyang Sect disciples controlled the magic weapons and attacked.

The Lingyun Sect disciples quickly sacrificed the magic weapons to protect themselves and block the attacks of the four people.

But at this moment, the monk with long hair had entered within ten feet of the Lingyun Sect disciples. He laughed wildly, his eyes turned red, and the yellow light on his body suddenly shone.

The four Lingyun Sect disciples felt that the magic weapon in front of them suddenly became heavy and fell down. They hurriedly injected magic power into the magic weapon to stabilize it.

But in the air when the magic weapon fell, the four Ziyang Sect disciples took the opportunity to control the magic weapon to attack and killed a Lingyun Sect disciple on the spot!

The other three responded quickly and barely blocked the attacking magic weapon, but they were also shocked and sweated.

At the same time, the monk with long hair came to a Lingyun Sect disciple, punched him, knocked his protective magic weapon away, and then punched him in the chest again, killing him.

After this, the other two Lingyun Sect disciples lost their fighting spirit and turned to flee.

But the speed of the monks was far less than the flying magic weapon.

Four Ziyang Sect disciples controlled the magic weapon and flew over, ready to kill the two on the spot.

But at this moment, four short black blades flew from a distance and blocked the magic weapons of the four people.

At the same time, a voice came from afar: "You dare to kill my Lingyun Sect disciples, you are so brave!"
