Nine Transformations of the True Spirit

Time flies, seasons flow.

Three years passed in a flash.

One day, Chen Yuan was refining the medicinal power of a Nanguang Pill, when a deep bell sounded in his ears, waking him up from his meditation.

He frowned, ignored it, and continued to practice.

But then another bell sounded, overlapping with the first bell sound, and then the third, the fourth... a total of six bell sounds overlapped, deep and distant, directly into Chen Yuan's soul, making him unable to calm down and meditate.

The huge medicinal power of the Nanguang Pill in his body, under the agitation of the six bell sounds that came like a tide, removed the dross and kept the essence, and directly turned into the most refined true essence, flowing into the dantian along the meridians.

Chen Yuan slowly opened his eyes, and the grand and deep bell sound in his ears suddenly disappeared, like an illusion, and the practice room was dark and silent.

He looked inside himself, and saw a lake of true essence suspended in the sea of ​​qi in his dantian. Three hundred and fifty-eight drops of liquid true essence flowed slowly, flashing with a faint light.

This was the result of Chen Yuan's three years of hard practice in seclusion. If he condensed two more drops of liquid true essence, he would be able to cultivate to the peak of the middle stage of foundation building. After that, he could take a bottle of Nanguang Dan, condense spiritual energy, and impact the bottleneck of the late stage of foundation building.

But the bell sounded at this time, interrupting his plan.

Chen Yuan frowned, but did not dare to delay time. He got up and walked out of the cave, drove the escape light, and flew to Lingyun Peak.

What just sounded in his ears was the Xiyi Bell, which was a magic weapon in the Lingyun Sect. The bell sound was not obvious, but it actually went straight into the soul of the cultivator. As long as they were within the mountain gate, they would be awakened immediately.

When the six bells rang, all the foundation-building cultivators in the sect must rush to Lingyun Peak within an hour. Those who violated the rules would be severely punished.

If nine bells sound, it means that Lingyun Sect has reached a critical moment of life and death, and all disciples in the sect must gather at Lingyun Peak.

However, since the establishment of Lingyun Sect, the Xiyi Bell has never been rung nine times, and the situation of six bells ringing in succession has only occurred twice.

Half an hour later, Chen Yuan arrived at the top of Lingyun Peak, dropped his escape light at the edge of the square, and walked towards Lingyun Hall.

At this time, dozens of foundation-building cultivators have arrived at the top of Lingyun Peak. Chen Yuan spread his consciousness and looked for the traces of Sun Congyao and Shen Danmei.

In the past three years, he has closed his cave and practiced in seclusion. He has never left the cave and knows nothing about the outside world.

The six Xiyi bells sounded one after another, which should be the invasion of Qi by the demon cultivators, but the specific situation needs to be understood from familiar people.

The top of Lingyun Peak is not very large. Chen Yuan quickly saw a familiar figure with his spiritual sense, walked over quickly, and said in a voice transmission: "Senior Brother Mo, please stay!"

Mo Jingchun heard the cheers coming into his ears, stopped, turned around, looked at Chen Yuan who was walking towards him, and smiled: "Junior Brother Chen! It's been many years since we last met, and you are still as charming as ever."

Chen Yuan came to Mo Jingchun and carefully looked at this senior brother with whom he had the deepest friendship.

After not seeing each other for twelve years, Mo Jingchun's eyes had a few wrinkles, and his appearance became a little more vicissitudes, looking like a man in his forties in the mortal world.

When Chen Yuan participated in the Ascension Conference and saw Mo Jingchun in the Recruiting Valley, he looked only about thirty years old.

But although the foundation-building cultivator has a lifespan of two hundred years, he is not immortal.

If you don't take the anti-aging pill, or the practice method has the effect of anti-aging, you will still slowly age.

The price of anti-aging pills is high. Unless they are female cultivators who love beauty or people with a lot of money, ordinary cultivators will not buy anti-aging pills on purpose.

Mo Jingchun obviously doesn't care about his appearance. After nearly 25 years, time has left its mark on him.

Three and a half years ago, Chen Yuan asked Yi Jin about Mo Jingchun's recent situation and learned that he had been accepting sect tasks, getting rewards for good deeds, and then exchanging them for pills for cultivation. He was very diligent.

But the sword cultivation inheritance that Mo Jingchun had obtained in the past was incomplete. After successfully building the foundation, he worshipped Elder Wang Xian as his teacher and changed to another sword cultivation method. His foundation was not solid and needed to be supplemented. Until three and a half years ago, his cultivation was still in the early stage of foundation building.

Chen Yuan naturally wouldn't bring up such a disappointing thing. He just bowed and asked, "Brother Mo, I just came out of retreat, and the Xiyi Bell suddenly rang six times in a row. Did the Demon Sect cultivators invade Qi?"

Mo Jingchun nodded and said, "Yes, the Demon Sect cultivators invaded Qi a month ago and stopped at a desert on the border between Qi and Wu."

"The sect rang the Xiyi Bell this time to summon the core disciples and the cultivators from the other five major sects to go to fight."

Chen Yuan was surprised: "The demon cultivators actually marked out the battlefield and confronted the six sects of Qi head-on?"

In the past ten years, there have been demon cultivators sneaking into Qi and causing chaos everywhere. Their methods were cruel and bloody, and they did everything they could. Unexpectedly, when they invaded in a large scale, they changed their previous practices and became upright.

Mo Jingchun shook his head and said, "How is it possible? In recent years, there are more and more demon cultivators in Qi State, and the number of criminals on the Six Sects' bounty list has increased to 24."

"However, the Six Sects have also increased their efforts to eliminate demon cultivators. At least hundreds of foundation-building demon cultivators die every year."

"Although the Demon Sect's army did not stop at the border this time, the harassment of spirit stone mines, immortal cultivation families, and small market towns has not only not decreased, but has intensified."

Hearing this, Chen Yuan's expression became solemn.

There is an invasion of the demon cultivator army on the front, and masters are harassing everywhere. The cultivators of the Six Sects dare to fight head-on. Aren't they afraid of falling into a trap?

But these are not the most important things. Chen Yuan asked the most concerned question: "Have the Nascent Soul cultivators in the Demon Sect shown up?"

"I heard that there are two great cultivators in the five major demon sects. If they attack together, how can the six sects of Qi resist?"

Mo Jingchun smiled and said, "Brother Chen, you don't know that the sect has already issued an order that the Yuanying cultivators of both sides will not participate in this war."

"And it's not the five major demon sects that invaded Qi, but only the Xueling Sect and the Hehuan Sect. As long as the demon cultivator army is driven out of Qi, the five major demon sects will not invade again within a thousand years."

Chen Yuan was relieved a little and cheered up a little.

If the five major demon sects invaded Qi together, he would not be prepared to be buried with Lingyun Sect.

But if they only face the two major demon sects, the Yuanying cultivators will not participate in the war. With the combined efforts of the six sects of Qi, they may not have no chance of winning.

Chen Yuan and Mo Jingchun talked as they walked. At this time, they had already walked to the front of Lingyun Hall and stood with other foundation-building cultivators who had arrived at Lingyun Peak.

At this time, a voice came into Chen Yuan's ears: "Junior Brother Chen!"

Chen Yuan looked back and saw Shen Danmei walking over with a smile on her face.

Chen Yuan went up to her and bowed: "Senior Sister Shen."

Shen Danmei bowed back and smiled: "Junior Brother, you have been in seclusion for three years. Have you made any breakthroughs in your cultivation?"

Chen Yuan smiled and said: "Senior Sister, please don't tease me. In just three years, I have only made some progress. How can I talk about a breakthrough?"

In three years, he went from entering the middle stage of foundation building to the peak of the middle stage of foundation building. It was too shocking that Chen Yuan did not show it.

Not everyone is like him, who can easily withstand the impact of the spirit of the elixir on the meridians, and constantly refine the elixir to improve his cultivation.
