Nine Transformations of the True Spirit

In the Lingyun Sect’s resident area, Chen Yuan’s flying speed was extremely slow, not much faster than performing the Light Body Technique.

A quarter of an hour later, he arrived at the center of the Lingyun Sect’s resident area, dropped his flying light in front of the Good Merit Hall, and walked into the hall.

A dozen foundation-building cultivators gathered in the Good Merit Hall and lined up in a row.

At the front of the team, there was a square table. Zhang Zian and Wang Ran stood behind the square table and were talking to a foundation-building cultivator.

The man stroked his storage bag, took out the mission talisman and the identity jade card, and handed them to Zhang Zian. A bloody head appeared out of thin air on the square table.

Zhang Zian first checked the mission talisman and the identity jade card, then took out a talisman, injected a trace of true energy, and pasted it on the identity jade card, and placed it three inches above the head of the demon cultivator.

Lingyun Sect issued a task to kill the demon cultivator, so naturally there would be no loopholes.

After a cultivator kills someone, a trace of Qi will be left on the body of the person killed. As long as the Qi is checked to see if it matches, it can be seen whether these demon cultivators were killed by themselves.

After a while, the identity jade card lit up with a faint white light, and Zhang Zian said in a deep voice: "Kill a demon cultivator in the early stage of foundation building, and reward 10,000 good deeds!"

He took out a white jade card engraved with the words "good deeds" and combined it with the identity jade card of the foundation building cultivator.

The two jade cards flashed, Zhang Zian took back the good deeds jade card, and returned the identity jade card to the foundation building cultivator.

The man took the identity jade card, bowed to Zhang Zian, and smiled: "Thank you, Senior Brother Zhang."

Zhang Zian nodded slightly, and the foundation building cultivator turned and left. After that, the two of them just handed in the task talisman, and they couldn't take out a demon cultivator's head.

Until the fourth foundation-building cultivator came forward, Zhang Zian smiled and took the initiative to bow: "Brother Wang."

The man handed the mission talisman and identity jade card to Zhang Zian, and touched the storage bag. Three heads appeared out of thin air on the square table, and he said lightly: "Brother Zhang, check it out."

Zhang Zian said with a smile: "Brother Wang, wait a moment."

After checking the identity jade card and the mission talisman, he followed the same method, took out a white talisman, injected true essence, and pasted it on the identity jade card. He checked the three demon cultivators' heads one by one, and said solemnly: "Kill three demon cultivators in the late stage of foundation-building, and reward 60,000 good deeds!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall focused their eyes on Brother Wang, and their eyes were full of awe.

A person standing in front of Chen Yuan whispered: "This Senior Brother Wang Ling, it is said that he reached the peak of foundation building ten years ago and is one of the strongest foundation building cultivators in the sect!"

Another person was surprised and said: "Why have I never heard of Senior Brother Wang's name?"

"Haha, our sect is full of hidden talents. If it weren't for this war, Senior Brother Wang would definitely be in seclusion in the cave, how could he show up in the outside world..."

The two spoke in very low voices, and if it weren't for Chen Yuan's sharp five senses, he couldn't hear it at all.

He was slightly surprised and remembered Senior Brother Wang's appearance firmly in his mind.

Senior Brother Wang had an ordinary appearance, a medium build, a white face and no beard, and an indifferent expression. He took the identity jade card handed over by Zhang Zian, closed his eyes slightly, and seemed to have carefully checked it with his spiritual sense, then nodded and turned away.

At this time, a familiar voice came into Chen Yuan's ears: "Junior Brother Chen, you came quickly."

Chen Yuan turned around and saw Mo Jingchun walking into the Good Merit Hall. Behind him, two foundation-building monks descended their light and walked into the hall.

After the death of a foundation-building monk, the spirit in his body can remain for three days. During this period, his cultivation level can be identified.

Therefore, Lingyun Sect stipulates that the monks in the sect must hand in the task talisman and the head of the demon cultivator within three days to receive the reward for good merits. No one will be allowed to wait after the deadline.

But few monks wait until the third day to come. They all come to receive the reward for good merits as soon as they return to the oasis and take a short breath.

Chen Yuan went up to him, looked at Mo Jingchun carefully, and asked with concern: "Is everything okay, Senior Brother Mo?"

Mo Jingchun smiled and said: "I'm lucky. No mid-stage cultivator attacked me. Instead, I killed two demon cultivators. Junior brother came faster than me, so he must have gained something. How many demon cultivators did he kill?"

Chen Yuan smiled and said: "I was just lucky..."

He was vague and said it in one sentence. Mo Jingchun didn't say anything more. The two stood at the end of the team and waited quietly.

Most of the people after Senior Brother Wang just handed in the task talisman. Only two of them took out a demon cultivator's head each.

Gradually, there were only four foundation-building cultivators left in front of Chen Yuan, and it would soon be his turn.

He suddenly took a step to the side and said to Mo Jingchun: "Senior Brother Mo, I suddenly remembered that I still have some trivial matters to deal with. I will hand in the task talisman later. I will leave first."

After Chen Yuan finished speaking, he bowed to Mo Jingchun and turned to walk out of the hall.

Mo Jingchun looked surprised, then nodded: "Junior brother, take care."

At this time, there were several foundation-building cultivators queuing behind Mo Jingchun. Seeing Chen Yuan suddenly leave, they looked at him with a little surprise.

Wang Ran had been standing beside Zhang Zian. He noticed Chen Yuan when he just entered the Good Merit Hall. At this time, he was also quite surprised and watched Chen Yuan leave.

Chen Yuan walked out of the Good Merit Hall quickly, his feet were a little hurried, and he drove the escape light. In just a quarter of an hour, he returned to the small building where he lived.

But after he lowered the escape light, he went straight to the training room on the second floor and sat down.

He didn't encounter anything, just found an excuse to leave the Good Merit Hall.

He didn't expect that Lingyun Sect's arrangement was so simple. A group of foundation-building cultivators, like ordinary people, lined up in the Good Merit Hall to hand in the task talisman.

Moreover, most of the other cultivators could not produce the heads of demon cultivators. The most dazzling record was that of Senior Brother Wang, but he only produced three heads of demon cultivators.

The strength of Lingyun Sect was second only to Ziyang Sect among the six sects, and was comparable to Tiangang Sword Sect. The disciples of the sect only performed so well, and the other five sects were not much stronger.

If he produced seven heads of demon cultivators in front of others, he would definitely be in the limelight, and his reputation would spread throughout Lingyun Sect and even to the ears of the disciples of the other five sects.

Chen Yuan has always been low-key and did not want to be in the limelight, so he left on the pretext of waiting for two days, and then handed in the task talisman and the heads of demon cultivators to receive the reward for good deeds.

Chen Yuan made up his mind and took out all the storage bags obtained in this battle and counted them one by one.

The seven demon cultivators in the middle stage of foundation building were all wealthy people, but in Chen Yuan's eyes, they seemed a bit shabby, and he looked down on the spiritual tools they used.

He sorted them out carefully and got a total of four high-grade spiritual tools, two medium-grade spiritual tools, three low-grade spiritual tools, 327 medium-grade spiritual stones, six three-hundred-year-old spiritual herbs, sixteen hundred-year-old spiritual herbs, two bottles of cultivation pills, and several healing pills.

The spiritual tools were mainly obtained from the monks of the Hehuan Sect. The monks of the Blood Spirit Sect spent most of their efforts on cultivating blood spirits. They had few spiritual tools and the quality was quite poor. There was no high-grade spiritual tool.

In addition, there were five kinds of medium-grade spiritual materials, hundreds of low-grade spiritual stones, several magic cultivation techniques, some sundries that could be used by Qi Refining monks, and magic materials such as essence, blood, and ghosts, which were not in Chen Yuan's eyes.

He collected these things separately, and finally took out Xu Feiqing's storage bag and took out all the items in it.

Xu Feiqing is indeed a peak foundation-building cultivator. He has 348 medium-grade spirit stones alone, a bottle of late foundation-building pills, eight three-hundred-year-old spirit herbs, and two five-hundred-year-old spirit herbs, which are richer than the combined wealth of seven mid-foundation cultivators.

It is true that a horse cannot grow fat without night grass, and a man cannot become rich without windfall.

The spirit herbs obtained from these eight demon cultivators can be combined into two furnaces of Nanguang Dan, one furnace of Heqi Dan, and one furnace of Qinglu Dan. After being refined into pills, they are enough to support Chen Yuan's cultivation for several years.

Xu Feiqing left behind three top-grade spirit tools, among which the pink gauze had been broken by the black sword light, and only the jade bracelet and the flying sword were usable.

Chen Yuan did not understand the art of refining tools, and could not see the materials of the jade bracelet and the flying sword. After a rough sacrifice, he learned the purpose of these two spirit tools.

The jade bracelet is transparent, exuding a hint of coldness, and is extremely hard. After being sacrificed, it has the power of freezing and can also imprison the opponent.

The flying sword is azure blue, also exuding a hint of coldness. When it is slashed, it is sharp and unstoppable, and can also freeze everything.

Xu Feiqing should be an ice spiritual root cultivator. These two magic weapons are ice attribute magic weapons, but their uses are somewhat single, which is quite ordinary among the top spiritual weapons.

Moreover, these two spiritual weapons were damaged a lot by the Broken Moon Spear. The flying sword is still intact, but there are many scars on the jade bracelet. Without repair, it cannot exert its maximum power.

In addition, there are three kinds of spiritual materials in Xu Feiqing's storage bag, two of which are ice attribute spiritual materials, but the last one is quite strange.

This spiritual material is a stone the size of a human head, gray and inconspicuous. Chen Yuan did not notice it at first.

But after the stone was taken out and hung in front of Chen Yuan, it slowly became transparent and finally disappeared completely. Even the consciousness could not sense it, and it could only be touched by hand.

"Is this... the Fantasy Yin Stone?"

Chen Yuan's eyes lit up, and he put the stone on his knees again.

The stone slowly turned white, which was also the color of the Lingyun Sect robes that Chen Yuan was wearing.

Chen Yuan was delighted. This stone had the effect of illusion, and it was cold to the touch, and it felt cold to the bone marrow, exactly the same as the Fantasy Yin Stone mentioned by the old man in hemp clothes.

He already had the Green Mang Snake Demon Pill in his hand. If he gave this Fantasy Yin Stone to the old man in hemp clothes, he could upgrade the grade of the thousand-year-old ice silk gloves. Then he would not have to be afraid to use the power of physical cultivation.

He put the two top-grade spiritual tools and the Fantasy Yin Stone into his usual storage bag, and put other spiritual materials and spiritual herbs into the mustard ring.

Xu Feiqing also had a top-grade spiritual weapon, two mid-grade spiritual weapons, and some sundries in his hand. They were not like the things used by the demon cultivators. They should have been obtained from other cultivators and were put into another storage bag. They could be exchanged for spiritual stones in the future.

Chen Yuan sorted out all the things in the storage bags of the eight demon cultivators, which took nearly an hour. At this time, the sky had darkened.

Chen Yuan stood up and walked to the window. Looking up, the night sky in the desert seemed particularly bright, with the bright moon hanging high and the stars shining.

Today happened to be the day for starlight infusion. Chen Yuan took out the jade pendant. The starlight passed through the window and enveloped Chen Yuan's whole body, cutting bones and washing marrow. The lake of true essence in the dantian was consumed.

There might be Yuanying cultivators from the six sects of Qi in the oasis, but Chen Yuan was not worried about being noticed.

He had attracted starlight infusion countless times in the mountain gate of Lingyun Sect, and was not noticed by the Lingyun Sect's protective formation or Xuanyuanzi. Coming here, there was no need to worry.

According to the records, above the human world, there are the spirit world and the immortal world. After the cultivators have cultivated to the state of transformation, they will ascend to the spirit world. After cultivating to the state of transcending tribulation, they can ascend to the immortal world.

Chen Yuan guessed that the jade pendant was probably a treasure of the immortals, or at least a rare treasure handed down from the spirit world. When it attracted the starlight to infuse the body, it would not be detected by the cultivators in the human world.

After the starlight dissipated, Chen Yuan put away the jade pendant, meditated and cultivated, absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and recovering his true essence bit by bit.

…

Two days later, Chen Yuan's true energy was mostly restored. He stood up and walked out of the small building, riding on the light of escape, and came to the Hall of Good Deeds.

It was almost dusk at this time. Zhang Zian and Wang Ran were still standing under the red lacquered pillar. There was only one cultivator in the hall who handed in the task talisman, but he did not take out the demon cultivator's head. There was no one else.

After this person left the Hall of Good Deeds, Chen Yuan came to the two of them and bowed: "Senior Brother Zhang, Senior Brother Wang."

Wang Ran bowed in return and said with a smile: "Junior Brother Chen, how are you? Senior Brother Zhang, this is Junior Brother Chen Yuan who eradicated the Dingzhou Lingshen Sect and killed the late-stage foundation-building demon cultivator three years ago."

Zhang Zian's eyes lit up: "It turned out to be Junior Brother Chen. Junior Brother killed the late-stage foundation-building demon cultivator with his mid-stage foundation-building cultivation. This left a deep impression on Zhang. With Junior Brother Chen's skills, he should have gained a lot in this battle, right?"

Chen Yuan smiled, stroked the storage bag, took out the mission talisman and identity jade card, and handed them over. At the same time, seven demon cultivators appeared out of thin air on the table. Head: "Please check it, Senior Brother Zhang."

Zhang Zian was stunned for a moment, and then he took the task talisman and the identity jade card and took a deep look at the seven heads, then looked at Chen Yuan and said in a deep voice: "Junior Brother Chen, did you kill all these seven demon cultivators?"

Wang Ran sent a voice transmission: "Junior Brother Chen, you didn't use the heads of demon cultivators killed by others to make up the number? This is a serious crime of deceiving the sect!"

Chen Yuan's face remained unchanged, and he sent a voice transmission to reply: "Senior Brother, don't worry, I killed all these demon cultivators myself."

At this time, Zhang Zian had checked the task talisman and the identity jade card, confirmed Chen Yuan's identity, and then took out a white talisman to check the residual energy on the seven demon cultivators' heads.

Looking at the faint white light emitted by Chen Yuan's identity jade card, Zhang Zian took a deep breath to hide the shock in his eyes: "Junior Brother Chen is indeed very skilled. He killed seven demon cultivators in one battle. I will transfer the merits to you now."

He took out the merit jade card, put it on Chen Yuan's identity jade card, and handed it back.

Chen Yuan took the jade card, and explored it with his spiritual sense, and found that there were 120,000 more merits.

Zhang Zian said: "In addition to the merit reward, Junior Brother Chen can also return to the sect for three years, but this requires the order of Elder Zhuge, so please wait for a few days."

Chen Yuan put away the identity jade card and said with a smile: "Thank you, Senior Brother Zhang."

Zhang Zian said with a smile: "No problem, I will report this matter to Elder Zhuge tomorrow, and I won't let Junior Brother wait too long."

Thanks to the Godly Father for the reward!
