Nine Transformations of the True Spirit

Chen Yuan waited for half an hour before Shen Danmei walked into his cave, still dressed as a scholar, full of heroic spirit, and said loudly: "Junior brother Chen, I have been waiting for you for two months, and you are finally back. Senior sister After collecting two furnaces of Heqi Pill spiritual herbs, you must refine eight Heqi Pills for me!"

One of the two pill recipes she gave Chen Yuan before was the Heqi Pill, which was the same as the pill recipe given by Jin Luoheng.

But the other kind of elixir is a strange elixir called Huagu Dan, which can dissolve the horizontal bones in the mouths of monsters and beasts, making them speak human words.

Chen Yuan stood up to greet him, bowed his hands and said, "I'll leave this matter to my younger brother."

He knew that Shen Danmei had a straightforward personality and didn't like procrastination, so he closed the cave formation restrictions in advance and opened the stone door. After she arrived at Yunyin Peak, she could directly enter her cave without waiting outside.

Hearing this, Shen Danmei smiled, touched the storage bag, took out ten spiritual grasses, handed them to Chen Yuan, and said: "Put these two spiritual grasses away, senior sister will not let you make elixirs for nothing, there is one Good thing, I will tell you after you finish refining the elixir."

Chen Yuan didn't ask any more questions, and took the spiritual grass with a smile: "Senior sister, you have to wait for a while. When I come back this time, there is also a senior brother who has introduced several fellow disciples and asked me to refine the elixir. It will take at least three months. time."

Shen Danmei frowned slightly: "Three months? This matter cannot be delayed, but three months is still barely affordable. You need to hurry up, don't delay."

Hearing this, Chen Yuan was quite curious about this matter. Just when he was about to ask, Shen Danmei left directly: "Since Junior Brother Chen has other disciples to meet, I won't bother you. After you finish refining the elixir, you can send me a message." Just make a sound note.”

After saying that, she turned around and left. Chen Yuan had no choice but to follow her quickly and send her out of the cave.

Seeing Shen Danmei's retreating light, Chen Yuan shook his head helplessly, with a smile on his lips.

This Senior Sister Shen has a cheerful and resolute personality, which is completely different from the ordinary monks who have a deep and profound appearance.

When he was chatting with Sun Congyao before, he had talked about Shen Danmei.

According to Sun Congyao, Shen Danmei used to be the rich daughter of a general in Qi State. She was taught by famous teachers since she was a child, reading and reciting scriptures.

However, she often scorned the ethical outlines in the book, but she had a special liking for poetry, novels, and legends. She longed for the ancient literati and chivalrous people who read poetry and books and wielded swords.

Later, when Shen Danmei was fifteen years old, her father was implicated in a major court case and was imprisoned and her house ransacked. She was sold to the Jiaofang Division and was about to become a prostitute.

But at this time, Jin Luoheng happened to be walking in the world due to an incident. He met Shen Danmei in the Jiaofang Division. He found out that she had earthly spiritual roots and extraordinary qualifications, so he accepted her as a registered disciple. And casually helped rehabilitate her father.

The royal family of Qi State was jointly supported by the six major sects, so naturally they did not dare to disobey Jin Luoheng, the elder of the Lingyun Sect, and immediately restored Shen Danmei's father to the position of commander.

After this incident, Shen Danmei joined the Lingyun Sect and his cultivation progressed rapidly. Within twenty years, he successfully established the foundation and was accepted as an official disciple by Jin Luoheng. After that, he successfully broke through to the middle stage of foundation building.

But what is surprising is that Shen Danmei experienced the decline of his family, and experienced the warmth and warmth of human nature in the Jiaofangsi, and the harshness of the world, but his personality remained straightforward and enthusiastic.

When Sun Congyao talked about Shen Danmei's past experiences, Chen Yuan felt doubtful and felt that it was inappropriate to talk about his fellow disciples behind their backs.

But Sun Congyao smiled and said, "Don't worry, Junior Brother Chen. These are all what Junior Sister Shen said personally. Even if I don't tell you, with her temperament, you will know about it in the future."

Chen Yuan felt relieved now, and at the same time he developed a lot of affection for Senior Sister Shen.

This is not a relationship between men and women, but a respect for Shen Danmei.

It is not easy for her to go through such ups and downs, and then enter the cruel world of immortality, but still maintain such a character.

…

After sending Shen Danmei away, Chen Yuan sent a transmission note to Yi Jin.

In less than a quarter of an hour, he received a reply from Yi Jin, saying that he would come to visit tomorrow with three of his classmates.

Chen Yuan was doing his best, and he took advantage of this time to practice with the two newly acquired high-grade spiritual weapons.

It just so happens that Yunyin Peak is located in a remote place. There are very few foundation-building monks who have opened caves here, and there is a large area of ​​unclaimed land.

Chen Yuan came to a hidden valley, touched his storage bag, took out two spiritual weapons, and offered them in the air.

During the half-month in Lingyunfang City, in addition to refining the power of the Yuan-increasing Pill, he would also spend an hour every day to warm and nourish three high-grade spiritual weapons. Although he could not use his arms and fingers, he could already unleash its full power.

He raised his hand to seal the secret, and then pointed at the Fire Cloud Gourd. The mouth of the gourd emitted a rich vermilion light, and then spewed out 360 grains of fire cloud sand the size of soybeans, spreading out over a hundred feet.

This valley was specially selected by Chen Yuan. It is vast in area, several acres in size, and is surrounded by dense trees, blocking out the sky and sun. You can practice magic weapons here without attracting attention.

Chen Yuan mobilized his true energy with all his strength, and the fire cloud sand slowly expanded to the size of a fist, and began to rotate faster and faster, releasing wisps of red smoke like gauze and mist, which diffused and formed a ball of red fire. The red cloud covered a hundred feet in radius, making it impossible to see.

As Chen Yuan thought, the three hundred and sixty grains of fire cloud sand trembled slightly. While spinning on their own, they were still flying in the air. Wherever they passed, they brought up wisps of red smoke, causing rocks to collapse and vegetation to turn to ashes.

Chen Yuan nodded with satisfaction, and with a change of technique in his hand, Huoyunsha suddenly stopped, retracted the smoke, and then flew back into the vermilion gourd.

Looking up at this time, the place covered by the red cloud just now has turned red, and the originally lush and green flowers and plants have all turned to ashes.

The temperature of this red smoke is extremely high, which can burn everything it touches, but there is no open fire, and it also has the effect of confusing the mind.

Three hundred and sixty grains of fire cloud sand are flying back and forth, which can wear away the spirit and corrode the spiritual weapon, but the power is slightly insufficient.

However, the purpose of this fire cloud sand is to attack in groups. If you want to deal with strong opponents, Chen Yuan has other means.

He put away the fire cloud gourd, changed the magic formula in his hand, and injected true energy into the black water flag.

A dark blue water curtain appeared in front of Chen Yuan, about seven feet in size, with rippling water waves, circulating back and forth.

Chen Yuan used all his strength to activate his true essence. A strange roar was heard faintly. The shadow of the black tortoise on the flag shone brightly and appeared. It hung above Chen Yuan's head. The turtle head and snake tail opened their mouths together and sprayed out four dark blue water columns in succession, condensing into four thick water curtains to protect him.

At this time, the true essence in Chen Yuan's body was continuously swallowed by the black water flag at an extremely terrifying speed.

He estimated that he would use up all his true essence if he could hold on for a quarter of an hour at most.

However, under Chen Yuan's perception, the defensive ability of these four water curtains was extremely extraordinary. Even if a cultivator in the late stage of foundation building attacked, he had the confidence to resist.

The next moment, he drove the escape light and came to the air. The spell in his hand changed, and the black tortoise sprayed out two more water columns, which condensed into two water curtains above his head and feet.

Chen Yuan nodded slightly, retracted his true essence, and the water curtain slowly dissipated. The shadow of the black tortoise roared and returned to the black water flag.

Then he raised his sleeve and put away the blue flag.

After this test, he already understood the power of the Fire Cloud Gourd and the Mysterious Water Flag. He only needed to nurture them for a period of time, and then he could use them in the battle.

As for the Cloud Crossing Boat, Chen Yuan had already tested it on the way back to the mountain gate.

The speed of this boat was several times faster than his escape light, comparable to the speed of a cultivator in the late stage of foundation building.

Under Chen Yuan's full control, the speed of the Cloud Crossing Boat doubled, and it was not an exaggeration to describe it as lightning fast.

As for the backlash of the fifth-level Wind Luan demon power mentioned by the green-shirted cultivator, Chen Yuan easily endured it without any damage.

However, this escape speed can only last for a quarter of an hour. If you want to stimulate the Wind Luan demon power again, you have to wait at least six hours, otherwise the Cloud Crossing Boat spiritual material will not be able to withstand the continuous stimulation and will be in danger of collapse.

Chen Yuan flew the Flying Cloud Boat and returned to the mountain gate in just half an hour, which was only a quarter of the time before.

…

After testing the power of the Fire Cloud Gourd and the Mysterious Water Flag, Chen Yuan returned to the cave to meditate. That night, he drew starlight to his body to strengthen his physical body and consciousness, and then meditated to restore his true essence.

The next morning, Yi Jin, Mo Jingchun and three foundation-building cultivators came to Yunyin Peak to visit Chen Yuan.

Chen Yuan welcomed everyone into the mansion and greeted them one by one.

These three people were all from the lineage of casual cultivators, one of whom was a core disciple, and the other two were deacon disciples, all of whom were in the middle stage of foundation building.

They took out a total of four spiritual herbs and asked Chen Yuan to make pills.

Mo Jingchun came with Yi Jin this time to gather a furnace of Zengyuan Dan spiritual herbs and asked Chen Yuan to make pills.

In the past ten years, he has accumulated a lot of good deeds and spiritual stones, but he used them to exchange for pills and spiritual tools. Now it is not easy to gather a furnace of spiritual herbs.

With Yi Jin's introduction, Chen Yuan and the three brothers had a great chat.

The three men's cultivation was higher than Chen Yuan's, but they did not dare to neglect him in front of the master of alchemy.

Among the four furnaces of elixirs they asked Chen Yuan to refine, three were Qingning Pills and the other was Nanguang Pills.

Chen Yuan had refined both kinds of elixirs before and was experienced. He immediately promised that he could refine six pills.

The three were overjoyed when they heard this.

The master of alchemy they had found before said that the success rate of the pill was only 40%. If they left one more pill, they could only give three pills. Moreover, his attitude was very bad and there was no room for bargaining.

Chen Yuan's success rate of the pill was 60%, far exceeding that of the master of alchemy.

The three immediately handed the spiritual herbs to Chen Yuan, and then they exchanged their cultivation experiences for a while. Yi Jin and others just said goodbye and left.

Because of what Shen Danmei said, Chen Yuan did not dare to delay and went to the Earth Fire Hall that day to rent a second-class Earth Fire Room for three months to start refining pills.

This time he wanted to refine seven furnaces of pills. Fortunately, there were no late-stage foundation-building pills among them, so three months should be enough.
