Nine Transformations of the True Spirit

As the saying goes, "Medicine is three parts poisonous". Spiritual herbs less than a hundred years old can be directly ripened by cultivators, but if the cultivator's mana is not pure enough, the Qi Refining Pills refined by them will also contain three parts of pill poison.

After the Qi Refining cultivators refine the pure spiritual power in the pills, they also need to expel the pill poison from their bodies, otherwise, over time, the mana will be mixed with pill poison impurities, the foundation will not be solid, and there will be no hope of breaking through the foundation.

Foundation-building pills are very different. They are refined from hundred-year-old spiritual herbs. Each pill contains a huge amount of pure spiritual energy and does not contain pill poison. The cultivators can absorb it with confidence.

However, this spiritual energy is too huge and rushes into the cultivator's body at once. When refining the medicinal power, the meridians must always withstand the impact of the huge spiritual energy. They must be careful to use their skills and consume some spiritual energy to protect the meridians and avoid injuries.

In this way, the time to refine the medicinal power will be greatly extended. It takes at least two months for ordinary foundation-building cultivators to refine each pill.

But the physical body of the physical cultivator is strong, and the meridians are also extremely tough, far better than ordinary cultivators, so the time for refining pills can be shortened.

However, most of the spiritual energy has to be used to warm the physical body, and the speed of cultivation improvement is not as fast as that of ordinary cultivators.

Chen Yuan is an outlier. His physical body is infused with the power of the Zhoutian stars, and he does not need to absorb the thin spiritual energy of heaven and earth at all. The meridians are much tougher than the physical cultivators of the same level. It only takes one time to refine a pill, saving a year of hard practice time, and making rapid progress.

Moreover, he had enough pills in the previous eight years of retreat. After breaking through the middle stage of foundation building, he accumulated a lot of true essence, and he had a certain accumulation.

Otherwise, three years is too short, and it is not enough for him to cultivate to such a level, and he is only one step away from the peak of the middle stage of foundation building.

…

After Chen Yuan greeted Shen Danmei, he introduced her and Mo Jingchun to each other. The two chatted and found that they both knew Yi Jin.

Yi Jin was once promoted by Jin Luoheng, and had met Sun Congyao and Shen Danmei several times.

But after Mo Jingchun successfully built his foundation, he wanted to make up for his foundation, so he put all his energy into completing the sect's tasks. Apart from his fellow disciples, he did not get to know many foundation-building cultivators.

But with this relationship, Mo Jingchun and Shen Danmei were both cheerful people, and the three of them had a good chat, waiting for the elders of the sect to show up.

During this period, Shen Danmei told Chen Yuan that Jin Luoheng had not returned to the sect yet, and Sun Congyao was carrying out a sect mission and was not in the mountain gate.

Chen Yuan was a little disappointed. The war was about to start, but Jin Luoheng was not in the sect. Without the care of the master, he might suffer a little.

The three chatted for a while, and more than 200 foundation-building cultivators slowly gathered in front of Lingyun Hall. They gathered in groups of three or two, whispering and communicating with solemn expressions.

All the core disciples in the mountain gate of Lingyun Sect came here, waiting for the sect's order.

Two hours after the Xiyi Bell rang, five figures walked out of the Lingyun Hall, all of them emitting a strong spiritual pressure. The cultivators who were whispering in front of the hall all shut up.

These five cultivators were all Jindan Zhenren. The young cultivator in the middle was wearing a yellow coarse linen shirt. He had an ordinary appearance and a slightly dark complexion. He seemed to be the most common country youth in the mortal world, but his spiritual pressure was the strongest among the five.

On the left side of the young cultivator stood a fifty-year-old man, wearing a black Taoist robe and three long beards floating on his chest. He looked dignified and majestic. His spiritual pressure was much weaker, but he exuded a sharp aura. When everyone looked directly at him, their eyes were slightly stinging, as if they were forced by the sword.

On the left side of the fifty-year-old man was the Zhenren Xu Changan whom Chen Yuan had seen before. He had gray hair and beard and was tall, and he was exactly the same as before.

But Chen Yuan had never seen the two real people on the right side of the young cultivator. They were a veiled female cultivator and a middle-aged scholar with an elegant appearance.

Suddenly, Chen Yuan heard Mo Jingchun's voice transmission: "Brother Chen, the old man with a long beard wearing a black Taoist robe is Master Mo."

Chen Yuan nodded slightly, and looked at the fifty-year-old man with a little more curiosity.

Elder Wang Xian had no master, and he studied the art of flying swords alone, but he was able to successfully form a pill, which was really not easy.

I wonder who is stronger, him or the sword cultivator of Tiangang Sword Sect?

Moreover, Mo Jingchun once mentioned that although Elder Wang Xian was a cultivator of the orthodox lineage, he treated all disciples in the sect equally. As long as they were willing to practice the art of flying swords, he would accept them as his disciples and teach them carefully.

In addition to Mo Jingchun, Wang Xian had eight disciples, five of whom were from the orthodox lineage and three were from the casual cultivation lineage, all of whom practiced the art of flying swords.

However, most of these disciples only practiced the art of flying swords after they had established their foundations. They were unable to refine their own flying swords and were far inferior to orthodox sword practitioners.

A few people, like Mo Jingchun, practiced the art of flying swords before they established their foundations. Their inheritance was also incomplete and they could not compare with orthodox sword practitioners.

Moreover, Elder Wang Xian only taught his disciples to practice, but did not take care of them much. His disciples had to run around for external things to practice, so they rarely interacted with each other and had a cold relationship.

Just now, several of Mo Jingchun's fellow brothers passed by, but the two sides just greeted each other and had no intention of discussing in detail.

…

After the five Jindan Zhenren walked out of the hall, they stopped at the top of the stone steps.

The young cultivator stepped out from the crowd and said in a deep voice: "Lingyun Sect core disciples, listen up, the demon cultivators from the Blood Spirit Sect and the Hehuan Sect have invaded Qi State, follow me to the Demon Desert to fight."

"This battle is related to the survival of the sect, no one should avoid the battle, and those who violate the rules will be killed immediately!"

These words were said very calmly, but they were clearly heard by everyone, and the murderous meaning contained in them made those who heard them secretly frightened.

After the young cultivator finished speaking, he raised his sleeves and a flying boat appeared in front of him. It slowly grew to a length of a hundred feet. There was a three-story tower on the boat, with six corners, vermilion pillars, and round windows in the cave door. It was the same one that Chen Yuan took when he went to the secret realm of Dongxu Mountain.

At that time, his cultivation was low and his vision was shallow. Now, looking at it, this flying boat is full of spiritual energy, even above the Golden Dragon Sword and the Wind and Cloud Bell. It is an extremely extraordinary magic weapon giant boat.

Only a magic weapon flying boat can be refined to a length of a hundred feet.

Five Jindan Zhenren boarded the flying boat first, and more than 200 core disciples drove the escape light and flew up.

Then, he waved his robe sleeves, and the giant boat slowly rose into the air and came in front of the sect protection formation.

The white clouds flowed to both sides, revealing a passage, and the giant boat sailed into it.

After flying out of the sect protection formation, the giant boat further rose to a height of several thousand feet, and a transparent light shield slowly emerged on the edge, blocking the cold air and strong wind outside.

Five Jindan Zhenren stood at the bow of the boat. The disciples did not dare to get too close. They stood on the deck in the middle and rear of the giant boat, still gathering in groups of three or two as before, and whispered to each other.

Chen Yuan asked: "Senior Sister Shen, Senior Brother Mo, do you know these elders?"
