Nine Transformations of the True Spirit

Shen Danmei's question was also what Chen Yuan and Sun Yao were confused about.

Although the righteous and evil sides were enemies on the surface, the cultivators practiced Taoism only for immortality. The righteous cultivators would not take it as their responsibility to eliminate demons and defend Taoism. The evil cultivators also had their own sphere of influence and had no time to fight with the righteous.

But now, the evil cultivators suddenly started a fight and even destroyed a country. It can be seen that their determination is firm, which is very puzzling.

Jin Luoheng shook his head slightly: "Master, I don't know either. This is very strange. It is the duty of the righteous cultivators to resist the invasion of the demons, but the southern countries have turned a blind eye and watched the demons destroy the Wu Kingdom."

Sun Yaocong frowned and said: "Master, why don't the six sects of Qi Kingdom come to the aid of Wu Kingdom?"

Jin Luoheng said: "The elders of each sect don't know the principle of lips and teeth. As soon as the demons invaded Wu Kingdom, they discussed joining forces to help, but were stopped by the headmaster. Although we don't understand their intention, the headmaster has a far-sighted vision and has his own reasons, so we can only give up and watch the destruction of Wu Kingdom."

Hearing this, the three people became more suspicious, but since even Jin Luoheng didn't know the reason, it was useless for them to ask again.

But one thing is certain, the invasion of Qi Kingdom by the demons is inevitable.

Jin Luoheng said: "This is a great catastrophe. The demons have joined forces and their strength far exceeds that of Qi's cultivation world. I dare not say that I can protect myself. You must be more careful. In the past four years, I will be in charge of the sect. I will assign you several relatively simple tasks. You must seize the opportunity to improve your cultivation."

The three of them were delighted when they heard this and thanked Jin Luoheng in unison.

According to the rules of Lingyun Sect, core disciples can practice at ease and ignore the sect's mundane affairs, but they must complete at least one sect task every ten years, otherwise they will be severely punished.

But this task can be difficult or easy. The difficult ones are like hunting down late-stage foundation-building cultivators and collecting fourth-level monster materials. The easy ones are like handing in a second-level monster pill and refining a furnace of foundation-building pills.

Depending on the difficulty of the task, the rewards are also high or low.

The core disciples of Lingyun Sect rely on completing sect tasks, gaining good deeds, and then exchanging them for pills for practice.

Jin Luoheng used his authority to arrange for them less difficult and more generous sect tasks, so that the three of them could have more time to practice before the battle between good and evil.

…

Jin Luoheng explained the invasion of the demons clearly, and spent another hour explaining the difficult problems in practice to the three of them before letting them leave.

After Chen Yuan and the other two walked out of Jin Luoheng's cave, Sun Congyao handed a furnace of spiritual herbs to Chen Yuan and asked him to refine the Jade Beam Pill.

Chen Yuan had already made up his mind about this matter, and agreed with Sun Congyao that he would give him the pill three months later.

The three of them also told each other the address of the cave, and if there was anything in the future, they could directly communicate.

In addition, Chen Yuan learned from the two that Sun Congyao, like his senior brother Lin Hao, was a late-stage foundation-building cultivator, while Shen Danmei was a mid-stage foundation-building cultivator.

The two of them were accepted as disciples by Jin Luoheng, and they had their own extraordinary qualities, and their cultivation speed was different from that of ordinary people.

Moreover, according to Chen Yuan's guess, the two should be quite strong, at least they are at the top among the cultivators of the same level.

The three talked for a while, and then Chen Yuan said goodbye to Sun Congyao and Shen Danmei, and drove the light of escape to the Sutra Library.

The Sutra Library was still deserted. Old man Geng was sitting on a recliner, holding an ancient book in his hand, and his face looked a little older than before.

Seeing someone coming, he raised his head and greeted with a smile: "This junior brother..."

Suddenly, he widened his eyes and stuttered: "You, you are..."

Chen Yuan looked at him with a smile: "Senior Brother Geng still remember me?"

Old man Geng laughed dryly: "Haha, nephew Chen... Junior Brother Chen bought the broken stele from me, how could I forget it? I haven't seen you for ten years, and I never thought that Junior Brother has successfully built a foundation. It's really a cause for celebration."

Chen Yuan said lightly: "It's just luck. I just broke through not long ago. This time I came here to choose a method to practice."

As he said, he stroked the storage bag, took out the identity jade card, raised his hand and waved it to Old Man Geng.

Old Man Geng grabbed the identity jade card that was slowly flying over, probed into his spiritual sense, sensed it, and nodded: "Yes, Junior Brother Chen can choose any one of the exercises on the second floor of the Sutra Library."

He returned the identity jade card to Chen Yuan and reminded him: "Junior Brother Chen has twelve hours to choose the exercises, don't miss the time."

Chen Yuan took the identity jade card, nodded, turned around and walked into the Sutra Library, and went straight to the second floor.

Old Man Geng looked at Chen Yuan's back and murmured: "Such a fool can actually break through the foundation?"

...

The area of ​​the second floor of the Sutra Library is much smaller than that of the first floor.

There are no books on the bookshelf on the second floor, but jade slips are hanging, emitting a faint light.

Chen Yuan followed the signs and came to the bookshelf where the fire exercises were stored, picked up the jade slips, and checked them one by one.

These jade slips of exercises were all arranged with spiritual sense restrictions, hiding the detailed content, and only giving a rough introduction.

As long as Chen Yuan unlocked the restriction of one jade slip, he could no longer touch the other jade slips.

He spent half an hour to select a technique called "Red Sky Record".

This technique can be practiced to the late stage of Jindan, and only focuses on the progress of cultivation. There is no magical power, so it is extremely simple to practice.

Chen Yuan has already practiced "Nine Transformations of the True Spirit" and cannot switch to other techniques. He does not care about the quality of "Red Sky Record".

In order not to arouse the suspicion of old man Geng, he stayed on the second floor of the Sutra Pavilion for another two hours before taking the jade slip of Red Sky Record and going to the first floor.

Choosing a method is the top priority for a cultivator. If he only had half an hour to choose a method, it would be too hasty.

Under the gaze of Old Man Geng, Chen Yuan copied the "Red Sky Record" into a blank jade slip, then handed the original jade slip to Old Man Geng and left the Sutra Library.

He did not immediately fly away with the escape light, but took out a sound transmission note and sent it out.

He wanted to inform Jin Luoheng of his choice of "Red Sky Record".

This is etiquette. After choosing a method, the disciple should inform the teacher as soon as possible.

Moreover, although "Red Sky Record" is only a method used to cover up, Chen Yuan also spent a lot of thought on choosing this method.

There are two fire-based methods in the Sutra Library that can reach the Nascent Soul stage, but they are much more difficult to practice than "Red Sky Record".

Moreover, choosing these two methods may leave Jin Luoheng with the impression that he is ambitious, so Chen Yuan first excludes them.

If you choose a method that can only be practiced to the highest stage of the Core Formation, it is also not advisable.

This might make Jin Luoheng mistakenly think that Chen Yuan's heart of Taoism is not strong and he does not pay enough attention to him.

"The Red Sky Record" is neither good nor bad, it is a moderate choice, and it will not go wrong.

After Chen Yuan sent out the sound transmission talisman, he changed his mind and sent two more sound transmission talismans to Mo Jingchun and Yi Jin respectively.

Before entering the secret realm, the two helped him a lot. Now that he has returned to the sect, he naturally wants to meet them.

Moreover, the invasion of the demon path is just around the corner. Chen Yuan needs to make more friends with his fellow disciples to be more confident in protecting himself in this calamity.

After all, Jin Luoheng, as a Jindan cultivator, treats this calamity so cautiously, which makes Chen Yuan feel a sense of urgency in his heart.

Lingyun Sect is located in the northern border of Qi State, closest to Wu State, and bears the brunt of the invasion of the demon path.

As a core disciple, he must fight against the demon cultivators.

But his current cultivation is too low, he must break through the middle stage of foundation building as soon as possible, and then combine with a strong physical body to have a certain self-protection power.

In addition, the search for the descendants of the true spirit must also be started.

If he could refine a kind of true spirit essence, he could master its innate magical power, his strength would definitely increase greatly, and his ability to protect his life would also be greatly improved.

However, it is difficult to find descendants of true spirits, so he can only take it slowly.

The most urgent thing is to improve his cultivation.

In this way, Chen Yuan needs a lot of spiritual herbs to refine pills.

Mo Jingchun has a wide network of contacts. If he can get the purple leaf lotus, he should be able to get other hundred-year-old spiritual herbs.

Chen Yuan is not short of spiritual stones now, but spiritual herbs.

If he can get the three hundred-year-old spiritual herbs for refining Zengyuan Dan through Mo Jingchun, his cultivation speed will definitely be much faster.
