Nine Transformations of the True Spirit

Chen Yuan smiled and said, "In that case, I won't waste time. I will choose a sect mission."

He raised his hand and took three talismans. His spiritual sense probed into them and soon learned the contents of the three sect missions.

The first mission was to hand in a demon pill of a level 3 demon beast, the White Feather Crane. The deadline was one year and the reward was 600 merits.

The other two missions were both related to demon cultivators. They were to hunt down a demon cultivator with a cultivation level of the tenth level of Qi Refining and to destroy a demon sect that spread in the mortal world. The rewards were 1,000 merits and 2,000 merits respectively. The deadline was also one year.

Chen Yuan withdrew his consciousness, pondered for a moment, picked up the second talisman, and bowed to Wang Ran, saying: "Brother Wang, I have decided to accept this task of destroying the demon sect."

Wang Ran nodded slightly: "Wang also thinks that this task is most suitable for me. Although the other two tasks are simple, they require finding the traces of Bai Yuhe and the Qi Refining Demon Cultivator. Something may happen in the middle. Although it is a bit troublesome to destroy the demon sect, it will not take much time."

Chen Yuan smiled and said: "Brother Wang, I think so too."

The sect mission also has a failure probability, and it is not small.

It is easy to kill a level 3 monster, but the Bai Yuhe is a relatively rare monster. Chen Yuan needs to take the trouble to find it. I don’t know how long it will take.

If the Qi Refining Demon Cultivator hides and cannot be found, or is killed by others, his mission will also fail.

And Chen Yuan must complete a sect mission within a year, and he cannot delay. This mission of destroying the demon sect is the most suitable.

According to the talisman, this demon sect is located in Dingzhou in the south of the Chimang Mountains, within the sphere of influence of the Tiangang Sword Sect.

However, there are few cultivators in the sect, and the population under its jurisdiction is dense, and the demon cultivators are rampant, so it seeks help from the other five major sects.

The five sects each sent cultivators to help the Tiangang Sword Sect to eliminate the demon cultivators, and Dingzhou was under the responsibility of the Lingyun Sect.

The traces of this demon sect were discovered by a casual cultivator and reported to the Tiangang Sword Sect, but it was unable to solve it, so it was passed on to the Lingyun Sect and released in the form of a sect mission.

After Chen Yuan left his spiritual mark in the talisman, he received this sect mission. The talisman turned red, and after it was completed and reported to the sect, it would turn green.

Wang Ran saw the color of the talisman change, raised his sleeves and flicked, put away the other two talismans, and said seriously: "Junior Brother Chen has been in seclusion for many years and has never dealt with demon cultivators. Their skills are strange. Junior Brother, you must be more careful when you go to Dingzhou."

Chen Yuan said solemnly: "Thank you, Senior Brother Wang, for reminding me. This time, thanks to your help, I owe you a favor. If you need to refine pills in the future, just ask."

Wang Ran's eyes flashed, and he smiled: "Since Junior Brother said so, I won't be polite. I just happened to have two furnaces of Qingning Dan Lingcao on hand. Can Junior Brother refine pills for me?"

The reason why he was so happy to lend a hand was to ask Chen Yuan to help refine pills. Now that he had the opportunity, he would naturally not miss it.

Chen Yuan immediately agreed: "I will take care of this matter, but I don't know when I will return after leaving the sect this time. Please wait for a while until I complete the sect mission and return to the mountain gate, and then I will refine the elixir for you."

Wang Ran smiled and said: "It should be so. Wang wishes you a smooth trip."

Since the matter was settled, Chen Yuan did not stay any longer. He stood up and said goodbye, drove the escape light and returned to the cave.

The demon sect was preaching in Dingzhou, and it was not difficult to find the traces. There was still one year left for the mission, so he was not in a hurry to leave the mountain gate.

Chen Yuan spent five years in the eight years of retreat to refine 58 elixirs and reached the middle stage of foundation building.

After that, in addition to meditating and practicing every day, he practiced a secret technique in "Demon God Sutra".

This secret technique is called "Giant Spirit Body", which can greatly strengthen the body and increase strength.

Chen Yuan's body was strong, comparable to that of a peak level 4 demon beast. He made rapid progress in his training. In just three years, he had mastered most of this secret technique.

But he had practiced this secret technique for too short a time. There were still some obstacles that he had not yet understood. It would take another month or two before he could use it skillfully and display it at will in the battle.

So after he received the sect mission from Wang Ran, he did not rush to leave the sect, but returned to Yunyin Peak to continue practicing this secret technique. It would not be too late to go to Dingzhou after he had fully mastered it.

Now that the demon cultivators were rampant in Qi, Chen Yuan would maximize his own strength and enhance his means of survival before leaving the mountain gate.

He returned to the training room, took out the jade slip of "Demon God Technique", closed his eyes slightly, probed into it with his spiritual consciousness, and carefully studied the formula of the giant spirit body secret technique.

An hour later, he opened his eyes, raised his hand and pinched the formula, urging the true essence in his body to circulate along specific meridians and stimulate his body.

After three breaths, Chen Yuan's figure suddenly grew to about seven feet tall, his black robes swelled, and his exposed hands and neck were faintly bronze.

He stood up and slowly clenched his fists, feeling his strength surge to nearly 200,000 pounds.

He stroked his storage bag, took out the Fire Cloud Gourd, and changed the spell in his hand. A grain of Fire Cloud Sand spurted out of the gourd, growing to the size of a fist, spinning rapidly, and shooting towards Chen Yuan.

Clang!

The Fire Cloud Sand hit his forehead and kept spinning, but Chen Yuan was unharmed.

He nodded slightly, and the spell in his hand changed again. The Fire Cloud Sand slowly stopped and flew back into the vermilion gourd.

Chen Yuan's physical body is already comparable to a level 4 peak monster. After using this secret technique, his body has been strengthened and is now comparable to a level 5 monster. It can withstand attacks from top-grade spiritual weapons. Only top-grade spiritual weapons can hurt him. .

Chen Yuan realized the mystery of the secret technique again. After most of the true energy in his body was consumed, he released the secret technique of the giant spirit body and returned to his original appearance.

According to the records of "Demon God Art", after the secret technique of the giant spirit body is cast, it can last for at least a quarter of an hour.

However, Chen Yuan's physical strength was much stronger than his cultivation. Just like a small boat that was supposed to carry fifty people, it carried a hundred people at once. The real energy consumption was huge and it could only last for half a quarter of an hour at most.

However, there are still some hurdles that he has not yet mastered. After mastering them all, the real energy consumption should be reduced.

After the drill just now, he had a deeper understanding of the giant spirit body. He sat on the futon again, picked up the jade slip of "The Art of the Demon God", and concentrated on trying to figure out the secret formula.

A month and a half later, after constant deductions, Chen Yuan finally mastered this secret technique and could use it as he wished.

He practiced the secret technique several more times, and only then set off on his journey when all the subtleties were clear to his mind.

Chen Yuan's "Nine Transformations of True Spirit" technique does not record any magical powers and secret techniques. This secret technique of the giant spirit body is his biggest trump card. He attaches great importance to it and will not ignore it in the slightest.

After Chen Yuan left the mountain gate in his Duyun boat, he did not fly directly to Dingzhou, but first came to Lingyunfang City.

Before he went into seclusion, he asked Nie Ruyue, the director of Baoguang Pavilion, to help collect two spiritual materials, Yingang Stone and Huanyin Stone. Now eight years have passed, and he doesn't know what the situation is like.

Compared with before, Lingyunfang City is now much deserted. There are only a few monks on the streets and many shops have their doors and windows closed.

Chen Yuan's face was slightly condensed. When he came to Baoguang Pavilion, it was also a deserted place. Several female Qi refining cultivators who were responsible for receiving customers were even a little idle.

After Chen Yuan walked in, a female cultivator took a closer look and found that he was a foundation-building cultivator. He was actually a foundation-building cultivator, and she found that he was a spiritual weapon.

Chen Yuan said calmly: "Is your chief Nie Ruyue here? She and I are old acquaintances, and I came here to visit you today."

When the female cultivator heard this, her face became even more respectful: "Senior, please wait a moment. I will go and report it to you now."

She gave Chen Yuan a blessing, turned around and walked quickly to the second floor.

After a while, Nie Ruyue came down from the second floor. When she saw Chen Yuan, her beautiful eyes lit up and she greeted him with a blessing: "I have an old acquaintance coming to visit. It turns out to be Fellow Taoist Chen. Please come upstairs to talk." "

Chen Yuan bowed his hands and followed Nie Ruyue to the quiet room on the second floor, where the guests and hosts took their seats.

Nie Ruyue raised her hand and waved, and the long-necked celadon teapot flew up on the table. She poured some spiritual tea for Chen Yuan and said with a smile: "We haven't seen you for several years. Fellow Taoist Chen has become more restrained. He must have taken a further step on the road. Congratulations to fellow Taoist."

Although he could not see that Chen Yuan had broken through to the middle stage of Foundation Establishment, he was both a Foundation Establishment monk and had met Chen Yuan once. From the strength of his Qi, he could see that Chen Yuan's cultivation had improved.

Chen Yuan picked up the tea cup and took a sip: "I just got a little bit of income, but Chief Nie's demeanor is still the same as before, and he can be said to have a good look."

Nie Ruyue looked at Chen Yuan carefully and said with a smile: "Isn't it the same with Fellow Daoist Chen? I once took a beauty-preserving pill, but it could only slow down the aging of my face. I need to find other ways to keep my youthful appearance in the future." , I don’t know what kind of secret beauty technique you use, can you tell me something about it?”

Chen Yuan's appearance is not old because his body is strong and full of vitality. Naturally, he will not say it. Then he replied: "Chen also took a kind of beauty-preserving elixir by chance before. He is not familiar with the secret of beauty-preserving skills. I'm afraid I can’t help Mr. Nie.”

Nie Ruyue said regretfully: "That's a pity..."

The two exchanged some pleasantries before Chen Yuan got to the point: "Chen asked Chief Nie to pay attention to two spiritual materials, Yingang Stone and Huanyin Stone. I wonder if Chief Nie can gain anything from it?"

Nie Ruyue nodded and said: "I have always kept this in mind. Two years ago, I bought a Yin Gang Stone from a customer. However, the Huanyin Stone is too rare. I have never seen it in the past few years. ”

When Chen Yuan heard this, a hint of joy flashed in his eyes. He had no hope for this matter, but he didn't expect that Nie Ruyue actually bought a piece of Yin Gang Stone.

He put down the tea cup in his hand, cupped his hands and said: "Please also ask Master Nie to transfer this stone to Chen. No matter how many spiritual stones Master Nie paid at the beginning, Chen can increase it by 10%, and the matter of upgrading the grade of the magical artifact in the future can also be done." I will leave it to Master Nie."

Nie Ruyue said with a smile: "According to the agreement, this Silver Gang Stone was originally reserved for Fellow Daoist Chen. There is just one thing. This Silver Gang Stone is quite heavy. Do you want to buy it all?"

Thanks to the guardian of Shicun Village for the reward!

There were several clerical errors in Chapters 154 and 155, which have been corrected. Chen Yuan's current cultivation level is in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment, not the peak of the Middle Stage.
