Nine Transformations of the True Spirit

After Chen Yuan returned to Yunyin Peak Cave Mansion, Mo Jingchun and Yi Jin came to visit together within half an hour.

Mo Jingchun clicked his tongue and marveled: "Junior brother Chen, when I received your transmission note, I thought I was being teased. I was doubtful and decided to come to Yunyin Peak to have a look. I didn't expect it was really you."

Chen Yuan looked carefully and saw that Mo Jingchun's aura was dim, and he could tell at a glance that he had successfully built the foundation.

The magic power in the foundation-building monk's body transforms into true essence, which is restrained in the body. It is impossible to directly see the depth of his cultivation through the Sky Eye Technique.

Chen Yuan smiled and said: "Congratulations to Senior Brother Mo for successfully building the foundation. I just returned to the sect yesterday and dealt with some trivial matters. Today I sent the transmission notes to the two senior brothers."

Mo Jingchun laughed: "It's my turn to congratulate Junior Brother Chen. Junior Brother Jiren has his own destiny. After staying in the secret realm of Dongxu Mountain for ten years, he can still break through the foundation building, which is enviable."

Yi Jin sat aside, looked Chen Yuan up and down, and said, "Junior Brother Chen must have had some extraordinary experiences in the secret realm. I wonder if I can tell Yi about it?"

Chen Yuan smiled and said: "Senior Brother Yi, you are so polite. After I entered the secret realm that day, I encountered two disciples from the Netherworld Valley. I was unable to escape for a while and could not join up with Senior Brother Mo..."

He edited out his experience in the secret realm and told it to the two of them.

When Chen Yuan said that he had refined the Foundation Building Pill, Yi Jin gave him a meaningful look: "Junior Brother Chen is already proficient in alchemy, and he entered the elixir garden in the secret realm of Dongxu Mountain and refined the Foundation Building Pill. Jidan, breaking through the foundation is really a blessing."

Chen Yuan said calmly: "It's just a fluke. If possible, I would rather not enter this elixir garden. This time I was lucky and it was a blessing in disguise. But if there is a next time, I may die without a burial place."

Mo Jingchun praised: "Junior Brother Chen is right. We monks cannot place our hopes on luck. We must be down-to-earth and climb the path step by step. This is the right way."

Yi Jin nodded and said no more.

Chen Yuan briefly talked about his experience after coming out of the Spiritual Medicine Garden.

When the two of them heard that the Ziyang Sect actually had a secret technique of implanting demon pills into the bodies of Qi Refining monks, they couldn't help but look surprised.

Hearing the confrontation between the six sects of Alchemy Formation monks, they were almost ready to take action, and were even more amazed.

This kind of big scene is definitely not something ordinary foundation-building monks can see.

"After leaving Dongxu Mountain, I worshiped Elder Jin as my teacher. This morning, I went to the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion to choose a technique, and then sent the transmission notes to the two senior brothers..."

Yi Jin looked surprised: "Elder Jin has accepted Junior Brother Chen as his disciple?"

Chen Yuan was surprised when he heard the difference in these words: "Could it be that Master has already intended to accept me as his disciple?"

Yi Jin said: "Ten years ago, I reported the matter of Junior Brother Chen to Elder Jin. He knew that you were proficient in alchemy. He once said that if you could break through the foundation building, he would accept you as his disciple and resolve the relationship between you and Huang. In this way, I can also have an alchemy master in my lineage of casual cultivators. I came here this time just to inform Junior Brother about this and introduce you to Elder Jin, but I didn’t expect that Junior Brother Chen has already worshiped Elder Jin. Master, it’s me who worries too much.”

Only then did Chen Yuan realize that Jin Luoheng had long wanted to accept him as his disciple, and it wasn't just for those spiritual herbs.

It seems that I have worshiped a good master this time...

As Chen Yuan's thoughts turned around, he bowed his hand to Yi Jin and said, "Thank you, Senior Brother Yi, for speaking kindly for me in front of Master."

Yi Jin waved his hand: "My lineage of casual cultivators is already in decline. It's hard to find an alchemist. How can I sit back and watch the Huang family seek revenge on my junior brother many times? Now that my junior brother has become a disciple of Elder Jin, I guess the Huang family will not No more trouble for my junior brother."

Chen Yuan nodded and said: "Senior Brother Yi is right. Master has already written a letter to Huang Linye to mediate. We just want to see if Huang will borrow the donkey."

Mo Jingchun snorted coldly: "Junior Brother Chen had no roots in the past, so the Huang family naturally dared to take revenge. Now Junior Brother Chen worships Elder Jin as his teacher, they are unreasonable in the first place, how dare they do it again?"

Yi Jin also showed approval and nodded slightly.

In the competition, life and death depended on destiny. It was reasonable for Chen Yuan to kill Huang Yunshang in the arena of the Immortal Ascension Conference, but it was unreasonable for Huang Yundao to ambush Chen Yuan.

If we look at it in detail, Chen Yuan could definitely challenge Huang to investigate.

In the past, Chen Yuan was just an insignificant qi-refining monk who could only swallow his anger, but now it is completely different.

Therefore, both of them felt that Huang would not dare to cause trouble to Chen Yuan again in the future.

Chen Yuan said with a smile: "I appreciate the help of my two senior brothers in planning for me. I can't repay you. If you two senior brothers need to refine elixirs in the future, just come to me."

Mo Jingchun and Yi Jin both had smiles on their faces when they heard this.

The reason why they helped Chen Yuan many times was because they took a fancy to Chen Yuan's alchemy skills.

Now that Chen Yuan can refine the Foundation Building Pill, he is already a veritable alchemy master. When he refines pills in the future, he no longer has to look at the faces of those in the Alchemy Pavilion.

Yi Jin said: "I just have two furnaces of pills that need to be refined. I wonder if Junior Brother Chen is free?"

Chen Yuan said seriously: "What kind of elixir does Senior Brother need to refine? Is there any recipe for it?"

Yi Jin touched his storage bag, took out a jade slip, and handed it over: "To be honest, Junior Brother Chen, I wasted decades in the middle stage of foundation building, and my cultivation level grew slowly. It was not easy to get it together this time. Two furnaces of Qing Ning Dan’s spiritual herbs will help you.”

Chen Yuan took the jade slip, looked into it with his spiritual consciousness, and relaxed: "This elixir is not difficult to refine. I should try my best, and I should have a 40% success rate."

There are many elixirs in the world of immortality. He had never heard of Qing Ning Dan before, and now he got a new elixir before he started refining it.

This is the advantage of being an alchemist. When others come to ask for elixirs, they will naturally offer them.

Qing Ning Dan is a mid-stage foundation-building elixir that requires two types of three-hundred-year-old herbs as the main medicine and three types of three-hundred-year-old medicine as auxiliary medicines. The refining difficulty is lower than that of the foundation-building pill.

Yi Jin's face was filled with joy: "Junior Brother Chen's alchemy skills are indeed extraordinary! According to the rules, Junior Brother Chen can keep one pill from each furnace, so you only need to give me six Qing Ning Dan."

As he spoke, he took out more than a dozen spiritual herbs and handed them all to Chen Yuan.

Mo Jingchun pondered for a moment and said, "Junior brother Chen, I would like to ask you to refine two furnaces of Yuan-increasing pills for me, but it will take a while. I wonder if junior brother has time?"

Chen Yuan asked: "How long do I need to wait?"

Mo Jingchun said: "It will take at least a month. To be honest with my junior brother, I need to clear up the relationship and raise spiritual herbs. It may even take longer."

Chen Yuan was overjoyed. As he expected, Mo Jingchun was indeed able to obtain the spiritual herb for the Yuan-Zeng Dan.

The four types of Breitling Grass used to refine the Zengyuan Pill are easy to grow and require no conditioning. They are the most common types of Breitling Grass.

This also makes Zengyuan Pill the easiest pill for monks to obtain in the early stage of foundation building, and it is widely spread in the world of immortality.

Chen Yuan asked: "Senior Brother Mo, is there any way to get the Yuan-Zeng Dan Spirit Herb?"

Mo Jingchun nodded: "I have some connections with several deacon disciples from the Spiritual Medicine Garden, and I can buy some hundred-year-old herbs from them."

Chen Yuan smiled and said: "Senior Brother Mo, please leave these two furnaces of Yuan-Zeng Dan to my younger brother, but I also have something that I need to ask Senior Brother Mo for help."

Mo Jingchun heard Xian Ge and knew the elegant meaning: "Junior Brother Chen, you want me to buy the Yuan-Zeng Dan Spirit Herb for you?"

Chen Yuan nodded and said: "That's it. I have some spiritual stones in my hand, but I lack spiritual grass. I asked Senior Brother Mo to help me. I'm very grateful."

Mo Jingchun still needs Chen Yuan to help him refine elixirs, so naturally he will not refuse: "This matter is on my shoulders, but the Breitling Herb in their hands is grown privately, the output is uncertain, and the price is higher than the market price. One Breitling Herb , it requires one hundred and fifty spirit stones, and you need to pay the spirit stones first, and wait for a while before you can get the spirit grass, is it possible for junior brother to accept it?"

Chen Yuan said: "It doesn't matter, as long as I can get the spiritual grass. This is six hundred and fifty spiritual stones. Please buy a furnace of spiritual grass for me, Senior Brother Mo."

He touched the storage bag, and a pile of low-grade spiritual stones appeared out of thin air on the table.

Mo Jingchun was startled: "Four hundred-year-old grasses only require six hundred spiritual stones, but these are too many."

Chen Yuan said: "How can I let Senior Brother Mo's efforts go in vain? These fifty spirit stones are for Senior Brother, please don't refuse."

Mo Jingchun smiled and said: "That's okay, Junior Brother Chen is a master of alchemy and has a lot of money, so I won't be polite to you."

As he spoke, he raised his sleeves and put away all the spiritual stones on the table.

The two settled the matter and their relationship became obviously closer.

Chen Yuan was rich and did not take fifty spirit stones seriously, but Mo Jingchun could not take it lightly.

Hundred-year-old spirit grass is extremely expensive. He usually has to rely on completing sect tasks and accumulating spirit stones for good deeds. In the past ten years, he has only saved a few furnaces of Yuan-increasing pill spirit grass and taken a total of more than a dozen pills. His cultivation progress has been slow.

This is the normal state of most foundation-building monks. If there is no chance, they can only absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to practice. It often takes decades of hard training before they can touch the bottleneck of the next level.

However, the cultivation level of monks in the early stage of foundation building is still low. It only takes a hundred years of spiritual grass to make elixirs. As long as you have spiritual stones, you can buy some.

If one's cultivation level increases further, three hundred years of spiritual grass will be needed as the main medicine to cultivate the elixir. Even if you have spiritual stones, it will be difficult to buy them.

It took Yi Jin more than ten years to save two batches of Qing Ning Dan Spirit Herb, and the hardship was evident.

He was very concerned about these two furnaces of pills and made an appointment with Chen Yuan to pick up the six Qing Ning Pills in two months.

Afterwards, the three of them exchanged some experiences and insights on cultivation, and Chen Yuan benefited a lot.

Yesterday he listened to Jin Luoheng's sermon and gained a lot.

But Jin Luoheng is an alchemy cultivator with profound cultivation and a commanding position, pointing directly to the source.

In terms of some specific details, he was not as clear as the two foundation-building monks Yi Jin and Mo Jingchun.

The three of them communicated until late at night, and then they dispersed.

While chatting, Chen Yuan learned that after Mo Jingchun established the foundation, he became a disciple of Wang Xian, a monk in the early stage of pill formation in his sect, and became his seventh disciple.

According to the Lingyun Sect's sect rules, the core disciples must worship a Danjie elder as their teacher.

Mo Jingchun had been promoted by Jin Luoheng before and wanted to become his teacher, but Jin Luoheng saw him practicing the flying sword technique and recommended him to Wang Xian.

Wang Xian was also a monk from the lineage of casual cultivators. In his early years, he had an unexpected encounter and received the inheritance from a sword cultivator. He was proficient in the art of flying swords and was suitable to teach Mo Jingchun.

Most of the alchemy monks who came from the lineage of casual cultivators were like this. Jin Luoheng also had the opportunity to break through the alchemy.

Their qualifications are low. If they practice step by step, it will be difficult for them to go as far as the orthodox monks.
