Nine Transformations of the True Spirit

Nine days later, a calm but penetrating voice spread throughout the Lingyun Sect: "All Lingyun Sect disciples, listen to the order, come to the Good Merit Hall to discuss matters!"

Chen Yuan woke up from his meditation and immediately recognized that it was Zhuge Qi's voice.

He did not dare to delay, and immediately stopped practicing, got up, walked out of the small building, and flew to the center of the Lingyun Sect.

Outside the small building was a bamboo forest. There was a small building every ten feet, hidden in the bamboo sea, quiet and elegant.

As soon as Chen Yuan flew into the air, he saw dozens of escape lights rising and flying to the center of the station.

The small building where Mo Jingchun and Shen Danmei lived was next to Chen Yuan. At this time, they also drove the escape light and came to Chen Yuan's side.

The three of them met together, escaping at a moderate speed, mixed in dozens of escape lights, and a moment later, they arrived in front of the Good Merit Hall in the center of the station.

In addition to the residences of Jindan Zhenren and foundation-building cultivators, Lingyun Sect also built several halls, namely the Good Merit Hall, the Weapon Refining Pavilion, the Alchemy Refining Pavilion, and the Talisman Making Pavilion.

Lingyun Sect cultivators can exchange elixirs, spiritual tools, and talismans as they do in the sect. Only the Good Merit Hall is idle and there are no sect missions to receive.

In the past seven days, Chen Yuan did not leave his house, but Mo Jingchun had found out all the situations of Lingyun Sect’s station, and even went to the stations of the other five major sects for a tour, and then used the sound transmission talisman to inform Chen Yuan, so that he had a general understanding of the situation of the entire oasis.

The Good Merit Hall here is much smaller than the Good Merit Hall in the Lingyun Sect’s mountain gate. More than 200 foundation-building cultivators entered the hall together, which seemed quite crowded.

There was a large red lacquer pillar in the center of the hall, but it was empty and there was no task talisman hanging on it.

Zhuge Qi stood in front of the red lacquer pillar, looking at everyone expressionlessly.

Chen Yuan learned from the previous lesson on the giant boat. After entering the Good Merit Hall, he quickly lowered his head, looked away, stood with his hands hanging down, and waited quietly for Zhuge Qi to pass on the sect's order.

He did not deliberately release his pressure, and his eyes were very calm, but for some reason, just a glance would make his heart tremble.

Soon, all the foundation-building monks entered the Good Merit Hall, including the deacon disciples, alchemists, and weapon refiners, a total of 257 people.

Among them, the deacon disciples, alchemists, weapon refiners, and talisman makers did not need to participate in this war, and all stayed in the garrison.

The deacon disciples were originally low-level, most of them only had the cultivation of the early stage of foundation building, and were responsible for handling miscellaneous tasks.

And those alchemists and weapon refiners had skills, and only needed the foundation-building monks who participated in the battle to refine pills and repair spiritual weapons.

Although Chen Yuan was a master of alchemy, he was not from the orthodox lineage, so he could only participate in the war with other core disciples.

The number of hundred-year-old and three-hundred-year-old spiritual herbs in Lingyun Sect is limited. The original alchemy masters in the Alchemy Pavilion are enough to refine all of them into elixirs, and there is still room for them. Chen Yuan has alchemy skills, but he has no place to use them.

It is different for weapon refiners. Spiritual weapons are easy to damage, and there are many monks participating in the war. If there is any damage, it will take a lot of time to repair.

In addition to the weapon refiners in the Refining Pavilion, some foundation-building monks who are not from the Refining Pavilion but are also proficient in weapon refining techniques do not need to participate in the war, but need to obey the arrangement of the Refining Pavilion and repair spiritual weapons for others.

After everyone was present, Zhuge Qi said, "Three days later, the six sects of our Qi Kingdom will have a head-on confrontation with the demon cultivators. Each side will have 500 foundation-building cultivators participating in this battle, and our Lingyun Sect needs to send 100 people to participate."

"This is the first battle between the six sects of our Qi Kingdom and the demon cultivators. You can sign up voluntarily, and it is not mandatory."

"For every demon cultivator of the same level killed, bring back his head, and you will be rewarded with 20,000 merits."

"Kill three demon cultivators of the same level, and get an additional 30,000 merits."

"Kill five demon cultivators of the same level, and get an additional 50,000 merits."

"Kill ten demon cultivators of the same level, and get an additional 100,000 merits, as well as a top-grade spiritual weapon and a bottle of cultivation elixir."

"In addition, as long as you kill five demon cultivators of the same level or more, you can return to the sect to recuperate, and you don't have to participate in the battle within three years!"

As soon as these words came out, the already solemn atmosphere in the hall immediately became agitated.

No one dared to make a noise in front of Zhuge Qi, but the huge reward for good deeds and the condition that he would not have to participate in the war within three years were very tempting to many core disciples.

But some people frowned after hearing Zhuge Qi's words, as if they were doubtful.

After Chen Yuan's expression changed several times, he immediately made a decision that he must sign up for the war!

He was not greedy for the reward for good deeds, but was moved by the condition of returning to the sect to repair for three years. He wanted to take this opportunity to break through the late stage of foundation building and retrieve the Silver Gang Sword.

Now it seems that he was forced to come out of retreat before he cultivated to the late stage of foundation building, which turned out to be a good thing.

Every cultivator who cultivated to the late stage of foundation building was either gifted or had a deep opportunity, and their number was rare. It was extremely difficult to kill five cultivators in the late stage of foundation building in a row.

The number of cultivators in the middle stage of foundation building would be much larger. As long as Chen Yuan used the secret technique of giant spirit body, he could completely kill five demon cultivators of the same level and return to the sect to repair.

But this was a battle of a thousand people. Killing five monks of the same level with one person would be extremely conspicuous, so he had to come up with a foolproof plan...

When Chen Yuan's mind was turning, Zhuge Qi's figure flashed, and the next moment he passed through the crowd, came to the door of the Good Merit Hall, and walked out.

Everyone in the hall turned around and saluted him. After he walked out of the Good Merit Hall, they stood up.

At this time, Zhang Zian, the head of the Good Merit Hall, stepped out of the crowd, touched his storage bag, and a hundred task talismans flew out and stuck on the red lacquered pillar, flashing a faint light.

He turned around and said loudly: "If you are interested in participating in the war, you can receive the task talisman now!"

Chen Yuan's eyes flashed, and he extended his spiritual sense to check these task talismans.

The contents of all the task talismans are exactly the same, just as Zhuge Qi said, but more detailed.

After the participating monks killed five demon cultivators of the same level, they could return to the sect to recuperate for three years, but they could not sit back and relax. They had to receive a sect mission every year to eliminate the demon cultivators in Qi.

Chen Yuan had expected this. Lingyun Sect would not let the disciples with outstanding strength stay out of the war, but as long as they could stay away from the front battlefield, it would be as he wished.

Other core disciples were also using their spiritual sense to check these task talismans, but no talisman had been taken off.

There is no fool who can successfully build a foundation. Zhuge Qi offered such a generous reward. This battle must be extremely dangerous. Even if they were very tempted by the reward, they did not act rashly.

Chen Yuan naturally would not be the first to draw everyone's attention to himself, and quietly waited for others to take off the magic talisman first.

At this moment, Shen Danmei, who was standing next to him, said: "Junior Brother Chen, do you want to sign up for the battle?"
