Nine Transformations of the True Spirit

In order to prevent Li Ju from escaping and calling for help, Chen Yuan did not dare to hold back at all. He directly used the secret technique of the giant spirit body and punched Li Ju with all his strength, smashing him to pieces. There was a loud noise, but under the cover of the formation, no sound was heard.

He acted very quickly, and Li Ju died on the spot in a flash.

Ren Man had just walked into the gate and was still worried about whether Chen Yuan could defeat Li Ju. As a result, she turned around and saw that Li Ju was killed by Chen Yuan's punch. He had no power to fight back. She was so shocked that she was pale and stunned.

When Chen Yuan took action, his Qi was visible, and his cultivation was actually the late stage of foundation building!

Before he left Huanyue Market, his cultivation was only the tenth level of Qi Refining. After more than 20 years, he turned around and became a cultivator in the late stage of foundation building, only one step away from forming a pill.

Twenty years is a long time for mortals, but for foundation building cultivators, it is just a flick of a finger. It is extremely rare to be able to cultivate to the middle stage of foundation building.

Accumulating true essence is not a difficult task. As long as you practice diligently and refine the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, you can always reach the peak of the early stage of foundation building step by step. If you take a few more pills, this process can be greatly shortened.

But the bottleneck level before the middle stage of foundation building makes cultivators miserable.

Except for the cultivators with heavenly spiritual roots who can cross it without any obstacles, even the cultivators with earthly spiritual roots will be trapped by the bottleneck.

To cross the bottleneck, it depends not only on the foundation of cultivation, but also on the opportunity and state of mind, which is mysterious and indescribable.

Some cultivators travel around and suddenly realize something, then they can break through the barrier and leave a legend of immortals in the mortal world.

Some cultivators comprehend the world and practice diligently, but the bottleneck is still unbreakable.

When the opportunity comes, maybe it can be crossed in three to five years.

If the opportunity does not come, it is common to stop for twenty to thirty years.

The bottleneck in the late stage of foundation building is more difficult, and it cannot be broken unless the foundation is solid and the true essence is pure.

Chen Yuan only spent more than 20 years to accumulate a huge amount of true essence, break through two bottlenecks, and cultivate to the late stage of foundation building. Even the Tianlinggen cultivator who was not troubled by bottlenecks was no better.

But he was a pseudo-spiritual cultivator who came from a casual cultivator, and even passed the Ascension Conference before entering Lingyun Sect. Why was his cultivation speed so fast?

Ren Man was like falling into a dream, her mind was dazed, and she felt that everything she saw was so unreal.

She didn't know that Chen Yuan was practicing both Dharma and body. As long as the body was strong enough, there would be no bottleneck.

However, the cultivator's body was weak, and rare spiritual objects were needed to strengthen the body. Improving cultivation was more difficult than ordinary Dharma practice.

But Chen Yuan had the jade in his hand, which led to the power of the Zhoutian stars to cleanse the bones and marrow, temper the body, and had many opportunities, and no shortage of spiritual herbs and elixirs, so his cultivation progress was naturally very fast.

...

Chen Yuan quickly checked Li Ju's memory, and then released a trace of true essence to crush the soul.

At the same time, he raised his hand to take Li Ju's storage bag into his hand, flicked his finger, and a fire crow flew out, flew around the house, and burned Li Ju's scattered body to ashes.

After wiping off the traces, Chen Yuan looked up at Ren Man, who was in a trance, and said in a deep voice: "Fellow Daoist Ren, Li Ju is dead, Guiyuan Sect will soon notice, we will leave Huanyue Market now."

Ren Man finally came back to her senses, and her eyes were full of awe when she looked at Chen Yuan: "I will go and call Xian Ji now."

After knowing Chen Yuan's cultivation, especially Chen Yuan killed Li Ju with one punch, it was difficult for her to treat Chen Yuan as a friend.

Chen Yuan shook his head and said: "There is no time to lose, I will go with you."

He put away Li Ju's storage bag, walked out of the house first, took back the formation flags scattered around, and then went to the Ding 347 cave he rented with Ren Man, and met with Cao Xian Ji, and walked out of Huanyue Market together.

The three of them walked very fast. It took only a quarter of an hour for them to walk out of Huanyue Market. Then they rode their light and came to a barren mountain a few miles away before they stopped.

Chen Yuan bowed to Ren Man and said, "Thank you, Daoyou Ren, for luring Li Ju to the cave, so that I could kill this beast."

"But after this incident, Daoyou and my nephew had to leave Huanyue Market to escape the pursuit of Guiyuan Sect. I feel bad about it. This foundation-building pill is a little compensation. Please accept it."

He stroked his storage bag, took out a jade bottle, and raised his hand to hand it over.

When Chen Yuan said "foundation-building pill", Ren Man and Cao Xianji's faces changed.

Cao Xianji glanced at the jade bottle, and his hands hidden in his sleeves clenched into fists, but he quickly looked away, and his expression was barely able to remain calm.

Ren Man stared at the jade bottle flying slowly, his eyes kept changing, his red lips pursed, and his right hand in front of him pinched his left hand, his knuckles turned white and trembled slightly.

Suddenly, she sighed, raised her hands, took the jade bottle, bowed to Chen Yuan, and said softly: "Before leaving Huanyue Market, Fellow Daoist Chen took good care of my husband and me. Four years ago, he gave me a pill. Today, I am just repaying your kindness. I should not accept this foundation-building pill."

"But I have a son, Xianji, who is determined to seek the Tao, and I am just a casual cultivator with low strength. I am unable to pave the way for him. I worry day and night and am anxious. , I can only accept this pill with a thick face. "

She tightly grasped the jade bottle, turned to Cao Xianji and said: "Xianji, why don't you thank your uncle Chen!"

Cao Xianji bowed deeply: "Nephew thanks uncle!"

Chen Yuan said seriously: "Not to mention that I have known Daoyou for many years, Daoyou and nephew have lived in Huanyue Market for many years, but because of Chen's affairs, they left this place. The many years of connections and friendships were scattered in one day, and they also forged hatred with Guiyuan Sect. A foundation-building pill is really nothing. Once the favor is mentioned, don't mention it again."

Ren Man opened her mouth, but seeing his firm attitude, she didn't say anything, just hid this gratitude deep in her heart.

Chen Yuan asked: "It's not suitable to stay here for a long time. Do you and my nephew have a place to go?"

Ren Man smiled and said: "The demon cultivators in Qi are getting more and more rampant. Many scattered cultivators go to other countries to avoid disaster. I also have this intention. It's a good opportunity to leave Qi."

Chen Yuan nodded slightly: "Qi has become a place of right and wrong. It's really not suitable to stay for a long time. You and your nephew should leave now."

Ren Man bowed: "Take care, fellow Taoist."

Cao Xianji followed and bowed: "Take care, uncle."

Ren Man stroked the storage bag, took out a flying boat, and flew away with Cao Xianji.

This flying boat is just a top-grade magic weapon, and the speed of flight is not fast. Chen Yuan watched the two leave, and after a long time, he retracted his gaze.

He took out Li Ju's storage bag, probed into it with his spiritual sense, searched for a while, took out a silver sound transmission note, put it to his mouth, imitated Li Ju's voice, and whispered a few words.

Then he raised his hand and threw it, and the sound transmission note turned into a silver stream of light, flying into the sky at a speed far exceeding that of ordinary sound transmission notes, and disappeared a moment later.

After releasing the sound transmission note, Chen Yuan waited for a moment, then stroked Li Ju's storage bag, took out a pot of spiritual tea and a teacup, poured a cup of tea, and drank it all.

Then he put away the teacup and teapot, drove the Duyun boat, and flew south.

Chen Yuan asked Ren Man for help this time to lure Li Ju to death, not only to avenge the robbery and killing, but also to join hands with him to rob and kill the cultivators, and to kill for money and life.

He made this plan before leaving the sect. As long as he could lead out the demon cultivator behind Li Ju, he could easily complete the sect mission.

If Ren Man could not lure Li Ju out of Guiyuan Pavilion, he would give Ren Man a large amount of low-grade spirit stones and ask her to exchange them for medium-grade spirit stones from Li Ju to lure the demon cultivator to take action.

But in this way, Chen Yuan could not kill Li Ju, and Ren Man was a casual cultivator with low strength. If she suddenly got a large amount of spirit stones, it would be easy to arouse his suspicion.

Fortunately, Li Ju was greedy by nature and did not even let go of the scattered spirit stones in the hands of casual cultivators. He was easily lured out and died in the hands of Chen Yuan.

After searching his soul, Chen Yuan learned that after the middle-aged scholar and the consumptive ghost got into trouble, Li Ju found two more demon cultivators and joined forces to rob and kill the cultivators who came to him to exchange spirit stones. He had reaped a lot of rewards in the past few years.

He also learned a lesson. The two demon cultivators he joined forces with now were both mid-stage foundation-building cultivators. They were not weak and had never failed, which just met Chen Yuan's requirements.

He deliberately slowed down his speed and flew slowly to the south, without any defense, but secretly spread his spiritual sense, and any movement within six hundred feet around him was under control.

A quarter of an hour later, two escape lights flew over silently and were seen by Chen Yuan's spiritual sense.

But he seemed not to notice it, and continued to fly forward with the Flying Cloud Boat.

He stopped until the two escape lights entered within three hundred feet around Chen Yuan, then he put away the Flying Cloud Boat and waited quietly.

A moment later, the two escape lights stopped in front of Chen Yuan, revealing the figures of two cultivators.

Chen Yuan looked up and saw that the faces of these two people were exactly the same as the demon cultivators he saw in Li Ju's memory. They were exactly the people he was looking for.

After the two stopped, without saying a word, they immediately sacrificed their spiritual weapons and attacked.

They had cooperated with Li Ju for several years and had never made any mistakes. As long as they drank the spiritual tea, Li Ju thought that they were weak and could be killed.

The two were in no mood to talk to a dying man, they just wanted the spiritual stone on Chen Yuan.

These two spiritual weapons were full of gloomy aura, one was a judge's pen made of bones, dipped in blood ink, and the other was a black wooden sword, surrounded by ghosts and ghosts, making ghosts howling and howling sounds, both of which were top-grade spiritual weapons.

Chen Yuan did not dodge, he sacrificed the silver sword, pointed at one point, and shouted: "Cut!"

The silver sword shot out, turned into a silver stream of light, and chopped at the white bone judge's pen.

At the same time, he sacrificed the azure flying sword obtained from Xu Feiqing, slashing at the black wooden sword surrounded by ghosts.

In the past year and a half, he often nurtured this flying sword, and he could use it as if it were an arm.

The faces of the two changed drastically. When Chen Yuan took action, his inspiration was revealed. He was actually a late-stage foundation-building cultivator. The two flying swords he sacrificed were auras, far exceeding the top-grade spiritual weapons, and they were all top-grade spiritual weapons!

One of the green-faced monks shouted, "Retreat!"

The spell in his hand changed, and the bone judge pen splashed out a little bit of blood ink, splashing it towards the silver sword.

These blood inks are made from the essence of mortals' hearts and blood, and have filthy power, which is extremely difficult to deal with.

But wherever the silver sword passed, the blood ink was easily chopped up, and the filthy power was not exerted at all. Even the bone judge pen was cut into two pieces by the silver sword.

The green-faced monk spit out a mouthful of essence and blood, his eyes were horrified, and he immediately turned around and fled.

This bone judge pen was made from the bones of hundreds of babies born in the yin month and yin day, and he carefully nurtured it for dozens of years. It was very hard, but it was cut into two pieces by a sword. Could this person be a sword cultivator?

He was shocked by Chen Yuan's strength and panicked. He had forgotten that sword cultivators only cultivated one flying sword, but Chen Yuan sacrificed two flying swords.

At the same time, the black wooden sword was slashed by the azure flying sword, and together with the ghosts lingering on it, a layer of frost covered it, which continued to spread and was finally frozen in a piece of ice.

The other skinny monk was anxious and urged his true essence, but the black wooden sword did not move at all.

A hint of sarcasm flashed in Chen Yuan's eyes. Both of them came from a small sect affiliated with the Blood Spirit Sect. The spiritual weapons they used were mediocre. How could they resist these two top-grade flying swords?

After destroying the two people's spiritual weapons, the Silver Gang Sword and the Azure Flying Sword continued to slash at the two people without stopping.

The green-faced monk's escape speed was not slow, but it could not compare with the Silver Gang Sword. After escaping for dozens of feet, he was caught up by the Silver Gang Sword and cut into two pieces with one sword, and even his soul was chopped off.

The skinny monk's choice was different from the green-faced monk. He sacrificed the defensive spiritual weapon, but under the siege of the Azure Flying Sword, he was soon in danger.

The skinny monk was horrified and shouted, "Fellow Daoist, please spare my life. This is a misunderstanding. I... We are chasing a monk who looks similar to you. We have mistaken him. I am willing to compensate you thirty, no, fifty medium-grade spirit stones. Please spare my life!"

Chen Yuan smiled and continued to attack with the azure flying sword. He said, "You two attacked me without knowing right from wrong. How can a misunderstanding be eliminated? As for the spirit stones, I can take them myself. I won't bother you."

The skinny monk said anxiously, "Fellow Daoist, don't you want to know why the two of us attacked you? This was all done by Li Ju. Fellow Daoist, please spare my life. I am willing to help you lure Li Ju out!"

This person was just like the consumptive ghost. At the critical moment of life and death, he immediately threw Li Ju out and cleared himself.

Chen Yuan said calmly: "Daoyou, don't worry. Li Ju is dead. You two are my target."

The skinny monk was stunned, and then said: "Daoyou, are you a law enforcement monk of Guiyuan Sect? I have a top secret to tell you, which will definitely make you a great merit. Please show mercy!"

Chen Yuan said coldly: "After you die, I will search your soul."

At this time, the skinny monk's defensive spiritual weapon was about to be broken. He said anxiously: "Daoyou, don't think so. I am proficient in the secret art of soul. Before you kill me, I will explode my soul!"

Chen Yuan's eyes flashed, and he finally slowed down his attack a bit, giving the skinny monk a chance to breathe.

He was overjoyed and said repeatedly: "Daoyou, don't worry, this top secret will definitely satisfy you..."

But at this moment, a silver line flashed by, cut through the skinny monk's defensive spiritual weapon, and beheaded him with a sword!

Chen Yuan moved and flew to the skinny monk, took his soul into his hands, and performed the soul-searching technique.

After a moment, he released a trace of true energy, crushed the skinny monk's soul, and looked thoughtful. He raised his hand and collected the bodies and storage bags of the two people, then sacrificed the Duyun Boat and fled to the south.

Thanks to the double-cultivation Mohun Daozu for the reward!
