Nine Transformations of the True Spirit

Chen Yuan was startled, then smiled and said: "Sister, don't worry, after I left the sect, I hid my whereabouts and acted carefully. After completing the task, I rushed back to the sect directly without encountering those demons."

He didn't tell anyone about his encounter with Liu Fan, otherwise he wouldn't be able to explain why he could escape from Liu Fan, who was at the peak of Foundation Establishment, when he was only at the middle stage of Foundation Establishment.

Shen Danmei felt relieved and warned: "Now the demonic cultivators are becoming more and more rampant. You have just entered the middle stage of foundation building and have no experience in dealing with demonic cultivators. It's better to be careful."

"The next time you receive a sect mission, tell me and I will share the mission with you. After you accumulate some experience, you can complete the mission alone."

Chen Yuan felt warm in his heart and said, "Senior sister's kindness, I appreciate it."

"But I want to practice in seclusion. I will not receive any more sect missions in the next few years. After I come out of seclusion, I will ask my senior sister for advice."

According to the rules of Lingyun Sect, foundation-building monks can share sect tasks, but the rewards for good deeds will be reduced by 30%. The gain outweighs the loss. Shen Danmei's move is completely to take care of him.

Hearing this, Shen Danmei looked surprised: "You just came out of seclusion and are going to seclusion again?"

Chen Yuan explained: "I was forced to leave seclusion because of the sect's mission."

"And I received a lot of rewards for my good deeds during this sect mission. I exchanged some three-hundred-year-old spiritual herbs from the Alchemy Pavilion to refine them into elixirs that can be used for cultivation for several years."

Shen Danmei smiled and said: "Junior brother, you are really lucky, but the Demon Sect is about to invade. In addition to improving your cultivation, don't forget to prepare some life-saving means."

"Sister, don't worry, little brother, don't worry."

Chen Yuan agreed, then remembered the incident between Sun Congyao and Lian Yan, and asked: "The reason why I was able to exchange the spiritual grass from the Alchemy Pavilion this time is thanks to Senior Brother Sun's matchmaking and introducing me to Lian Yanlian, the director of the Alchemy Pavilion."

"There seems to be some story between the two of them. Does Senior Sister know the inside story?"

When he asked about this, it was not because he wanted to be curious about Sun Congyao's personal affairs.

But he would have to exchange spiritual herbs from the Alchemy Pavilion in the future, so he would inevitably have to deal with Lian Yan.

If he didn't figure out the relationship between her and Sun Congyao, Chen Yuan would not dare to reveal the five-hundred-year-old spirit grass on his body.

Shen Danmei sighed softly: "Junior Brother Chen, you owe Senior Brother Sun a big favor this time."

"He has not been in contact with Senior Sister Lian for more than ten years, but this time he is willing to beg Senior Sister Lian for your matter. It is really surprising."

Chen Yuan cupped his hands and said, "Please give me some advice, senior sister."

Shen Danmei's eyes showed memories: "More than forty years ago, before I had successfully established the foundation, Senior Brother Sun and Senior Sister Lian fell in love and were about to form a Taoist couple."

"But for some reason, Master had a conflict with Senior Sister Lian's master, Elder Wen. Master is free and easy by nature, so he would not interfere with the private affairs of his disciples. However, Elder Wen strictly ordered Senior Sister Lian to cut off contact with Senior Brother Sun."

"Although Senior Sister Lian loves Senior Brother Sun deeply, she does not dare to disobey Master's orders. And you also know that Senior Brother Sun respects his teacher the most. Even if Master does not interfere, he will never fall in love with Elder Wen's apprentice again."

"Since then, Senior Brother Sun and Senior Sister Lian have cut off contact and rarely meet in private."

"But because of Senior Brother Sun, I have a good relationship with Senior Sister Lian."

"Although Senior Sister Lian does not dare to meet me frequently due to Elder Wen's orders, she will send me transmission notes from time to time to ask about Senior Brother Sun's current situation. This shows that she still misses Senior Brother Sun..."

Chen Yuan frowned: "Elder Wen forbids Senior Sister Lian to interact with Senior Brother Sun, but Senior Brother Sun invites Senior Sister Lian into the cave this time for my sake. Will it bring him trouble?"

Shen Danmei said: "Junior brother, don't worry, the matter between Elder Wen and Master also has many twists and turns. I can't tell the details, but after all, the word love cannot be escaped."

"She should have regretted it a long time ago. It was just because of her face that she did not lift the restrictions on Senior Sister Lian."

"Perhaps because of this matter, Senior Brother Sun and Senior Sister Lian can renew their relationship, maybe."

Chen Yuan was surprised: "Elder Wen and Master actually hate each other because of love?"

Shen Danmei nodded and said, "Yes, there was a story between her and the master, but I don't know the details."

Chen Yuan nodded and said: "Thank you, Senior Sister, for reminding me. Since this matter will not embarrass Senior Brother Sun, I can rest assured."

All worries in his mind were gone, he took the initiative to change the topic, and chatted with Shen Danmei for a few words before saying goodbye and leaving, returning to the Yunyin Peak Cave to meditate and practice.

However, he did not take the elixir, but simply absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

Late at night, Chen Yuan woke up from his trance, went to the stone room with a skylight, took out the jade, and let the starlight fill his body.

In the past six months, he had been refining elixirs in the Earth Fire Chamber and wasted a lot of starlight infusions.

Thirty breaths later, the silver starlight dissipated, and the true energy in Chen Yuan's dantian was exhausted.

He felt his strength increased and his consciousness expanded by three inches, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Chen Yuan put away the jade device, blocked the skylight again, returned to the practice room, closed his eyes and meditated to restore his true energy.

Three days later, all the true energy in his body was restored. He took a Qing Ning Dan, slowly closed his eyes, and followed the method in "Nine Transformations of the True Spirit" to silently perform exercises, refine the power of the medicine, and improve his cultivation.

…

At the junction of Qi State and Wu State, high in the sky.

This place is thousands of feet above the ground, the strong wind is howling, and its power is comparable to that of a magic weapon. Even Master Jiedan cannot hold on for a moment.

Suddenly, several rays of light flew from the south, and they were extremely fast. In an instant, they crossed thousands of feet and gathered in one place, revealing six figures.

These six people had different appearances and ages. They were restrained and seemed to have no cultivation at all. However, when the strong wind blew within ten feet of the six people, they would disappear into thin air.

They regarded the nine-day strong wind as nothing. These six people were actually the Nascent Soul cultivators in the world of immortal cultivation who were elusive!

The six Nascent Soul cultivators stood on the nine heavens, looking to the north, with solemn expressions and silence.

After a while, four rays of light flew from a distance, and in an instant, they crossed thousands of feet and stopped in front of the six people, revealing four figures.

One of them was wearing a black long gown and looked very young. He looked only seventeen or eighteen years old, and even had a bit of immaturity, but his eyes were full of vicissitudes, as if he had experienced the world and understood the world.

He bowed to the six Yuanying cultivators who had arrived here first, and smiled, "I have heard of your great names for a long time, and today I am finally fortunate to meet you. The head of the Blood Spirit Sect, Yan Zhang, is here to greet you."

A female cultivator stood on the left side of Yan Zhang. She was dressed in palace clothes, with a curvy figure. Her face was covered with a layer of white gauze, covering her mouth and nose. There was a hint of sadness in the corners of her eyes, as if she was telling of endless love.

She bowed to the six people and said softly, "Head of the Joyous Sect, Chaolu, greets the six Taoists."

One of them looked like a Taoist master, and the other looked like a fairy who had fallen into the mortal world. They were actually the demon cultivators with a far-reaching reputation in Donghuazhou, and they were in charge of two of the five major sects of the demon path.

Yan Zhang was a great cultivator who had cultivated to the late Yuanying stage. His magic skills were all-powerful. Looking at the entire Donghuazhou, he was rarely rivaled.

The six Yuanying cultivators did not dare to neglect them and returned the greetings one after another.

One of the white-haired monks in Taoist robes stepped out of the crowd and said calmly: "I am Du Qing, the head of Ziyang Sect. I am honored to meet you two Taoist friends."

"You two Taoist friends invited the heads of the six sects to gather here. I wonder what you have to say?"

These six Nascent Soul cultivators are the heads of the six major sects in Qi.

The one with the highest level of cultivation is Taoist Du Qing, who is in the middle stage of Nascent Soul.

Ziyang Sect is also the largest sect in Qi. It was he who came forward to face the heads of the two demon sects.

Taoist Du Qing gathered the strength of the six sects. Even when facing a great cultivator, he did not show any fear.

Yan Zhang looked at Du Qing and smiled, "Nothing special, Yan came here to tell you that the cultivators of my Blood Spirit Sect and He Huan Sect will invade Qi in three years."

"If the six sects of Qi don't want to end up like the four sects of Wu, they can migrate to avoid disaster before that. The cultivators of the two sects will never stop them."

He said this lightly, but after the voice fell, the strong wind within a radius of ten thousand feet suddenly became violent, and the whistling sound was loud, as if it was going to tear the sky and the earth apart.

The Taoist Du Qing's face was slightly condensed, and he waved his sleeves to suppress half of the strong wind, but it was still powerful, swirling and dancing, forming hundreds of tornadoes, converging towards the six people.

A tall middle-aged monk with a long sword on his back snorted coldly, swept his eyes, and shot out two sword qi, rushing out ten thousand feet, tearing two gaps in the tornado group, and wiped out dozens of tornadoes.

Another black-haired old man raised his hand and waved, an invisible wave spread out, and the violent nine-day gale finally subsided.

These two people, like Taoist Du Qing, are both mid-Yuanying cultivators, but the three of them worked together to barely quell the nine-day gale that Yan Zhang casually caused.

The six Yuanying cultivators looked at Yan Zhang with fear in their eyes.

As expected of a great cultivator, he has great power in his every move.

Of course, if you use magic power and magic weapon, anyone can quell the gale.

But Yan Zhang just did it casually, if they used magic weapon and magic power, they would fall into the inferior.

Du Qing said in a deep voice: "I'm sorry that I can't obey what Master Yan said. The six sects of Qi have been passed down for thousands of years and will never abandon the mountain gate."

Yan Zhang shook his head slightly: "In this case, we can only fight."

The middle-aged cultivator with a long sword on his back snorted coldly: "Just come on!"

The long sword on his back suddenly came out of the sheath, and a sword sound was heard, which was heard hundreds of miles away, like the roar of a dragon and a tiger.

Yan Zhang smiled and said: "Is this Fellow Daoist Shen from Tiangang Sword Sect?"

"Fellow Daoist Shen, please be patient. We are Yuanying cultivators who are in charge of a sect. If we personally go to fight, we will not only lose face, but if we are not careful, hundreds of years of hard work will be wasted. Isn't it a pity?"

The middle-aged cultivator sneered: "This is related to the survival of the sect. If the master does not go to the battlefield himself, will he let his disciples decide the outcome?"
