Nine Transformations of the True Spirit

After the green-shirted monk left the square stage, several foundation-building monks came up to trade items.

There were many treasures among them, and one person even took out five three-hundred-year-old spiritual herbs, which were just what Chen Yuan needed.

But after he bought the Duyun Boat, he only had 105 medium-grade spiritual stones left.

These spiritual stones seemed to be a lot, but he still needed a top-grade defensive spiritual weapon, as well as two rare spiritual materials, the Silver Gang Stone and the Huanyin Stone, which was already a bit stretched.

Moreover, Chen Yuan already had three bottles of Zengyuan Pills, sixteen Nanguang Pills, two Qingning Pills, and one Yuliang Pill, so he was not short of elixirs for the time being, so he did not bid.

Apart from these five three-hundred-year-old spiritual herbs, there was nothing worth Chen Yuan's attention.

Someone took out a top-grade spiritual weapon, but it had no defensive ability, so it was bought by someone else.

Three hours later, most of the foundation-building monks in the hall went to the square stage, but no one took out a top-grade defensive spiritual weapon.

At this time, including Chen Yuan, there were only a few people who had not yet come on stage to trade items.

The monk in the bamboo hat was also like him, sitting on the futon, but he only offered to buy two rare spiritual objects.

Chen Yuan no longer waited, and after a foundation-building monk left the square platform, he stood up, stepped on a step, and floated to the square platform.

He first bowed to the monks in the hall, then stroked his storage bag, and seventy medium-grade spiritual stones appeared in front of him. He said in a rough voice: "I want to exchange medium-grade spiritual stones for a top-grade defensive spiritual weapon, or two medium-grade spiritual materials, silver Gang stone and Huanyin stone."

As soon as these words came out, many foundation-building monks looked over.

Before this, the foundation-building monks who came on stage all took out treasures to exchange for spiritual stones, or bartered.

Chen Yuan was still the first person to take out spiritual stones to buy treasures.

Moreover, Chen Yuan had previously bought the Fire Cloud Gourd, the Broken Moon Spear Talisman, and the Crossing Cloud Boat, and now he was looking for a top-grade defensive spiritual weapon. His wealth was really shocking.

After a while, a crisp voice sounded: "I have a Xuanshui flag in my hand, which can be used to lay down the Xuanming Water Curtain. It has extraordinary defensive capabilities. Are you interested?"

Chen Yuan looked in the direction of the voice and saw that the person who spoke was wearing a green palace dress, with a water-blue scarf covering her face, revealing a pair of bright eyes. It was actually a female cultivator. He immediately bowed and said: "Please take it out and have a look."

The palace-dressed female cultivator touched the storage bag, took out a dark blue flag about a foot long, raised her hand and waved it, and sent it to the square platform.

With seven people including the wealthy cultivator in charge, she was not afraid that Chen Yuan would take away the spiritual weapon.

Chen Yuan raised his hand to catch the small flag. Looking closely, it was painted with the shadow of a black tortoise beast, surrounded by water wave patterns, and flickered with a faint spiritual light.

He injected a trace of true energy and found a spiritual imprint inside it, which should be left by the female cultivator.

Chen Yuan did not touch the spiritual imprint, but just roughly sensed the restrictions inside it and roughly understood the power of this flag.

As the palace-dressed female cultivator said, this Xuanshui flag can lay down the Xuanming Water Curtain, which has the effect of endless life and has an extraordinary defensive ability.

But this flag also has a disadvantage, it consumes a lot of true energy, almost catching up with the best spiritual weapon.

Seeing this, Chen Yuan frowned slightly and hesitated in his heart.

He has no shortage of spiritual stones in his hands, and the reason why he only wants to buy a top-grade spiritual weapon is because the best spiritual weapon consumes a lot of true energy.

Moreover, the "Nine Transformations of the True Spirit" he practiced mainly cultivates the body. Before refining the true spirit essence and blood, the true energy in his body is no different from that of ordinary foundation-building cultivators, and even because he is a cultivator with five spiritual roots, it is not as good.

If he buys this Xuanshui flag, it will go against his original intention.

However, in addition to the fact that it consumes a lot of true energy, the defensive ability of this Xuanshui flag is comparable to that of a top-grade spiritual weapon.

Even because the water curtain has the effect of endless life, as long as the true energy is not exhausted, ordinary foundation-building cultivators will never be able to break it. Compared with some top-grade spiritual weapons, it is still better.

Just when Chen Yuan was hesitating, the palace-dressed female cultivator said, "What do you think, fellow Daoist?"

Chen Yuan's mind changed, and he finally made up his mind, and bowed his hands and said, "I want this Xuanshui flag, please name your price."

He still didn't want to miss this top-grade spiritual weapon of excellent quality, so he decided to buy it.

Although this flag consumes a lot of true energy, Chen Yuan practiced both magic and body, so even if the true energy in his body was exhausted, he could still use the power of physical cultivation to fight the enemy.

And after he returned to the sect, he would practice hard behind closed doors, and his cultivation would be much improved, and the true energy consumption of this Xuanshui flag should be reduced a lot.

Seeing that Chen Yuan wanted to buy the Xuanshui Flag, the palace-dressed female cultivator's voice became much softer: "Daoyou only need to take out eighty medium-grade spirit stones, and this Xuanshui Flag will belong to you."

Chen Yuan frowned slightly: "Eighty spirit stones are a bit too much, how about seventy spirit stones?"

The Xuanshui Flag has extraordinary defensive ability. If we only look at its power, it is not too much for the palace-dressed female cultivator to ask for eighty spirit stones.

But this flag also has the disadvantage of consuming true essence. In the hands of ordinary cultivators, it is no better than ordinary high-grade spiritual tools. The price of eighty medium-grade spirit stones seems a bit high.

The palace-dressed female cultivator said: "This Xuanshui Flag has a very strong defensive ability, and I have seen that Daoyou has been generous before. Eighty medium-grade spirit stones should be nothing to Daoyou. If Daoyou is unwilling to pay these spirit stones, this flag may not be yours."

Chen Yuan frowned, this is clear, the palace-dressed female cultivator took out the Xuanshui Flag because he was rich and had no shortage of spirit stones.

If he wanted to buy the Xuanshui Flag, he would have to pay a premium of ten mid-grade spirit stones.

Chen Yuan pondered for a moment and nodded, "Okay, I want this flag."

He stroked his storage bag, took out ten mid-grade spirit stones, put them together with the seventy mid-grade spirit stones in front of him into a storage bag, raised his hand and waved it to the palace-dressed female cultivator.

The Xuanshui Flag has an extraordinary defensive ability. Even if it costs more spirit stones, Chen Yuan doesn't want to miss it.

The palace-dressed female cultivator took the storage bag, probed inside with her spiritual sense, and then put the storage bag away without saying anything.

At the same time, Chen Yuan probed into the Xuanshui Flag with his spiritual sense and found that the gentleman's mark in it had dissipated. He only needed to sacrifice and refine it a little when he returned to control it.

But if you want to exert the full power of the Xuanshui Flag, you still need to nurture it carefully.

This flag should be one of the spiritual tools commonly used by the palace-dressed female cultivator, so she left a spiritual mark in it.

There was no spiritual mark of the Qingshan cultivator in the Duyun Boat that Chen Yuan had bought before. It should be because of the backlash of Fengluan's demonic power that he did not dare to control this flying boat.

After Chen Yuan bought the Xuanshui Flag, he looked around and asked, "I want to exchange spiritual stones for two spiritual materials, Silver Gang Stone and Huan Yin Stone. Is there any Taoist friend willing to sell them?"

He waited for a while, and seeing no one answered, he stopped and floated up, returned to his own cushion, and sat down again.

Silver Gang Stone and Huan Yin Stone are indeed rare. Forty-six foundation-building monks with extraordinary financial resources gathered at the Treasure Gathering Meeting, but no one could take out these two spiritual materials.

After Chen Yuan left the square stage, three more foundation-building monks came on stage to trade items, and no one came on stage after that.

The monk in the bamboo hat sat on the cushion from beginning to end, and had no intention of going on stage at all.

The wealthy monk stood up and came to the square stage, performed a Luoquan bow, and said loudly: "The Treasure Gathering Meeting ends here!"

Afterwards, the forty-six monks left the hall one by one every half a quarter of an hour.

Chen Yuan then discovered that there was not only one stone door in the hall, but three in total.

Only the stone door connecting to Cai Fu Zhai is the most obvious, while the other two stone doors are much smaller and exist in the form of hidden doors. Their colors are similar to those of the surrounding stone walls and are not easy to detect.

The foundation-building monks in the hall are divided into three groups and walk into the three stone doors. Chen Yuan is in the middle and returns along the original route under the guidance of the middle-aged monk.

After leaving Cai Fu Zhai, he walked around the market for a few rounds to make sure that no one was following him. Then he took off his black robe and Luo Yansha in a remote corner, restored his original appearance, and returned to the rented Dizi Cave.

Chen Yuan had a great harvest in this trip to the Jubaohui. He bought three high-quality spiritual tools and a talisman in a row, which greatly enhanced his fighting ability.

However, the two spiritual materials, Huanyin Stone and Yin Gang Stone, are rare, so he can only search slowly.

Now he has all the spiritual tools in his hands, enough to use until the late stage of foundation-building, and the spiritual stones are almost exhausted. What he needs to do next is to return to the sect for retreat and improve his cultivation to deal with the demonic calamity.

However, today's treasure gathering just ended. This gathering is quite famous among the foundation-building cultivators. Many of the participants are cultivators outside Lingyun Market, which may attract robbers.

For the sake of caution, Chen Yuan plans to stay in Lingyun Market for half a month before returning to the sect.

In this half month, he barely refined a Yuan Zeng Dan, and the true essence in his dantian increased, which is equivalent to one year of hard practice.

Chen Yuan silently estimated that if he did not take the pill, he would need thirty-four years to cultivate to the peak of the early stage of foundation building.

This is also thanks to his previous four years of cultivation in the secret realm of Dongxu Mountain, which is equivalent to a small spiritual vein environment, equivalent to ten years of hard practice, and accumulated a lot of true essence.

Donghuazhou is already thin in spiritual energy, and Chen Yuan is a cultivator with five spiritual roots, so it is particularly difficult to cultivate.

Ordinary foundation-building cultivators have to practice hard for forty or fifty years before they can cultivate to the peak of the early stage of foundation building, and then they will face the threshold of the middle stage of foundation building. I don’t know how many years it will take to break through.

If you want to go far on the path of Taoism, you must not only have extraordinary talents, but also elixirs and other external objects.

If you have mediocre talents, you can only have a chance to achieve Taoism if you get a great opportunity.

On this day, Chen Yuan quit renting the cave and went to Baoguang Pavilion.

Nie Ruyue did not buy the silver Gang stone and the Huanyin stone. Chen Yuan spent five medium-grade spirit stones to buy two high-grade storage bags with a space of three meters.

Then, he left Lingyun Market, drove the escape light, and returned to the mountain gate of Lingyun Sect to prepare for retreat and cultivation.

But when Chen Yuan landed in front of the cave gate of Yunyin Peak, he found two sound transmission notes hanging outside the restriction, flashing a faint light.

He raised his hand to take the sound transmission notes into his hand, crushed it, and two voices rang in his ears.

After hearing this, Chen Yuan's face showed understanding.

These two sound transmission notes were left by Yi Jin and Shen Danmei, who wanted him to refine elixirs.

He touched his storage bag, took out a sound transmission talisman, moved his lips slightly, said a few words, raised his hand and sent it out, then returned to the cave, waiting for Shen Danmei to come.

People are close or distant, Chen Yuan and Shen Danmei are both disciples of Jin Luoheng, so naturally he would refine the elixir for his fellow sister first.
