Nine Transformations of the True Spirit

When Chen Yuan stepped into the narrow door on the green jade, a dazzling white light flashed, followed by a familiar feeling of dizziness.

After a while, this feeling finally disappeared, and the vision became clear.

After experiencing the huge oppressive force of the ancient teleportation array, the squeezing force of the space magic weapon seemed so insignificant.

After the white light disappeared, a flat land appeared in front of Chen Yuan, about a thousand acres in size, much smaller than the Wentian Ding secret realm, surrounded by a gray light curtain, and a pale white dome ten feet above the ground, giving people a sense of oppression.

The flat land was distributed with ridges like cuttings, divided into more than a dozen different spiritual plant gardens, full of various spiritual herbs, as many as thousands of plants, but because no one had taken care of them for a long time, these spiritual herbs were lush and messy, exuding a strong spiritual energy, and a large number of seeds fell on the ground.

Chen Yuan looked at it carefully and was somewhat disappointed. Most of these spiritual herbs were fifty or eighty years old. The most precious ones were only hundred-year-old spiritual herbs. There was not even a three-hundred-year-old spiritual herb, not to mention the five-hundred-year-old spiritual herbs that Chen Yuan needed the most.

In the center of the spiritual plant garden was a fenced yard with an open wooden door. There were stone tables and stone benches in the yard, as well as a thatched house with a closed door. It looked like a farmer in the mortal village.

Chen Yuan was relieved at this time. The Lu family did not have a Yuanying cultivator, and it was impossible to break the restriction of the space magic weapon in a short time. Therefore, he was not in a hurry. He sacrificed the Golden Dragon Sword and Fengyun Bell, spread his consciousness, and walked forward slowly.

The jade slip map only recorded how to enter the inheritance land. It did not even mention that the inheritance land was a space magic weapon, let alone what the inheritance specifically contained. He could only act cautiously.

Chen Yuan's consciousness easily covered the entire space secret realm, but he could not explore the thatched house. There were only low-level spiritual herbs and a thatched house here, nothing else.

Chen Yuan walked into the farmer's yard, and then he found that the branches used for the fence were actually an unknown century-old spiritual wood, and the wooden gate was a thousand-year-old spiritual wood, comparable to the top-grade spiritual materials, shining with a faint luster.

Chen Yuan was very excited and walked into the yard. At this moment, an old voice sounded in his ears: "I am Dan Jue, who has been pursuing the way of alchemy for my whole life and has gained a little. Because I feel that my life is coming to an end, I will leave my inheritance here. If the younger generation of cultivators can refine the Yaoyuan Pill, they can inherit my alchemy skills..."

Chen Yuan was shocked. From seeing the map hidden in the Youyun Pill recipe, he knew that the inheritance must be related to alchemy, but he didn't expect that this inheritance was left by old man Dan Jue.

Now, not many cultivators may know about old man Dan Jue, but more than a thousand years ago, old man Dan Jue was famous in Yuqing Sea.

This person is a Yuanying cultivator of the same period as Qingyou Zhenren. His real name has long been unknown. Because of his superb alchemy skills, he was called Danjue Lao Ren. Over time, he took this name.

Before Qingyou Zhenren formed the elixir, Danjue Lao Ren was very active in Yuqing Sea and had a wide range of social contacts. Even the Yuanying cultivators from the three major sects at that time asked him for help. He was a famous figure.

If it was just his superb alchemy skills, Danjue Lao Ren would not have such a great reputation. His cultivation was also extremely profound, reaching the peak of the middle stage of Yuanying, and he was only a step away from the great cultivator.

Moreover, Danjue Lao Ren hated monsters to the bone, and often invited other Yuanying cultivators to enter the Wanyao Sea to hunt transformed monsters in exchange for Yuanying elixirs.

The monks in Yuqing Sea and monsters have always been mortal enemies. The monks need the monster pills and monster materials on the monsters. The monsters covet the wealth of Yuqing Sea. They have been fighting for tens of thousands of years and have formed a blood feud.

But the value of monsters to low-level cultivators is greater. For Yuanying cultivators, they need more spiritual herbs to improve their cultivation. Ordinary magic weapons are no longer in their eyes.

And the transformed monsters can also sacrifice magic weapons. They are difficult to deal with because they practice human cultivation. The monster pills and monster materials on their bodies can only be used to refine tools and talismans. It is not worth the effort to hunt monsters. It may also intensify the conflict between the Wan Yao Sea and Yuqing Sea. Naturally, they become more cautious.

But old man Dan Jue is willing to take out the Yuanying stage pills and ask people to help hunt monsters. Whether it is the righteous way or the evil way, they all respect him very much.

It is also under the connection of old man Dan Jue that the Yuqing Sea Xiuxian world has defeated several beast tides in hundreds of years, and has launched several consecutive offensives against the Wan Yao Sea, expanding the sea area a lot.

Wentian Sect also participated in it. At that time, True Man Qingyou only had the foundation-building cultivation. He obeyed the sect’s orders, hunted countless monsters, and made many merits. He became a true disciple of Wentian Sect.

It is for this reason that Qing You Zhenren has great respect for Old Man Dan Jue and knows his past deeds very well.

After the war against the Wan Yao Sea, Qing You Zhenren quickly succeeded in forming a pill, but Old Man Dan Jue suddenly disappeared and completely disappeared from the Yuqing Sea cultivation world.

At that time, Old Man Dan Jue had been active in the Yuqing Sea cultivation world for hundreds of years. People at that time speculated that he was nearing the end of his life and had passed away, which caused great regrets to the Yuqing Sea cultivators. Without his connection and leadership, the offensive against the demon clan came to a standstill.

Many people coveted Old Man Dan Jue's alchemy inheritance and searched all over Yuqing Sea, but found nothing. Gradually, they stopped doing useless work, and Old Man Dan Jue's name was gradually forgotten by Yuqing Sea cultivators.

Chen Yuan only knew today that Old Man Dan Jue's inheritance was hidden here, on an inconspicuous small island.

He breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that his hard work over the past few years was not in vain, and he was extremely happy.

The inheritance of a Nascent Soul cultivator should include quite a few elixirs and magical weapons, right?

Chen Yuan quickened his pace and came to the stone table. On the table was a pure white jade slip, exactly the same as the jade slip with the map, and an exquisite storage bag.

The jade slip should contain the "Yao Yuan Dan" mentioned by the old man Dan Jue. Only by refining this kind of elixir can one enter the thatched house and obtain the inheritance.

Chen Yuan did not think that he could break through the obstacles set by a mid-Nascent Soul cultivator. He did not make any other moves and honestly picked up the jade slip.

Since it was a legacy left to the younger generation, the difficulty should not be too high. After all, he was a master of alchemy, and the chance of success should not be too low.

Chen Yuan's consciousness probed into the jade slip and checked the recipe of the Yao Yuan Dan. His joyful expression quickly turned into surprise, and then into admiration.

After a long while, he put the jade slip down and sighed: "What a genius!"

The recipe of the Yao Yuan Dan recorded in the jade slip was different from all the recipes he had seen before. It was actually made with the Yao Dan as the main medicine!

Chen Yuan is now a master of alchemy. He has refined hundreds of thousands of furnaces of elixirs and has mastered more than 30 kinds of elixir recipes, but all of them are based on spiritual herbs.

However, this demon essence pill is based on demon pills, supplemented by low-level spiritual herbs, which completely subverts Chen Yuan's understanding of alchemy.

Every alchemist knows that the reason why spiritual herbs can be used to make pills is because they contain the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, which can be refined by cultivators.

But the demon pill contains mixed and impure demon power, which cannot be purified at all, let alone refined, so no alchemist has ever thought of using demon pills to make pills.

But old man Dan Jue is worthy of the name of Dan Jue. His attainments in alchemy have reached an unprecedented level. He has even developed a pill recipe with demon pills as the main medicine.

No wonder old man Dan Jue seems to have an irreconcilable hatred with the demon clan, and repeatedly invades the Ten Thousand Demon Sea to find trouble with those transformed demon beasts.

Chen Yuan was amazed. He raised his hand and flicked his storage bag. Three light blue demon pills appeared out of thin air, flashing a faint light.

These are three level 5 black water snake demon pills. With this as the main medicine and five kinds of fifty-year-old spiritual herbs as supplements, they can be refined into level 5 demon yuan pills for cultivators in the early stage of Danjie to improve their cultivation.

He checked the three black water snake demon pills. They were all intact and had sufficient spiritual energy. They could be used as the main medicine for alchemy.

The demon power in these three demon pills has been completely transformed into spiritual energy. The method of purifying and transforming demon power is in the thatched house.

As long as Chen Yuan can refine a level 5 demon yuan pill, he can open the restriction of the thatched house and obtain the inheritance of old man Dan Jue.

But if the refining fails, Qingyu will self-destruct, and the inheritance of old man Dan Jue will disappear.

Chen Yuan's expression became more solemn. He turned and walked out of the courtyard to look for the five kinds of spiritual herbs as auxiliary medicines.

These five kinds of spiritual herbs are all planted in the secret realm. Chen Yuan picked a few of each, gathered enough spiritual herbs for three furnaces of elixirs, and returned to the courtyard.

Because the green jade restriction blocked the three Jindan cultivators of the Lu family, there was no need to worry about them breaking in. Chen Yuan did not rush to make the elixir, but continued to figure out the recipe of the demon elixir.

Three days later, he finally put down the jade slip, took out the elixir furnace, and started to make the elixir.

The purification process of the spiritual herbs went smoothly. In just two days, Chen Yuan purified all five kinds of spiritual herbs into pure spiritual liquid.

The difficulty is in the next step. He needs to mix the black water snake demon pill with the five kinds of spiritual liquid. These two raw materials are one of the spiritual energy contained in the spiritual herbs, pure and gentle, and the other is transformed from the demon power, violent and fierce, and conflicting in nature.

If you want to refine the demon elixir, you must use the gentle spiritual energy in the spiritual herbs to reconcile the violent spiritual energy in the demon pill. This process is very subtle and cannot tolerate any omissions. It requires extremely high spiritual awareness of the alchemist.

This should be the reason why Elder Dan Jue hid the map in the recipe of Youyun Pill. Only cultivators with strong spiritual awareness can detect the abnormality of the jade slip.

Chen Yuan carefully recalled the recipe of Yaoyuan Pill, raised his hand and waved it, and a black water snake demon pill flew into the alchemy furnace by itself, slowly rotating in the scorching flame, emitting pure but violent spiritual energy, rushing left and right in the alchemy furnace, like a group of unruly dragons and snakes.

Chen Yuan closed his eyes slightly, but his spiritual awareness spread to every inch of space in the alchemy furnace, controlling the spiritual liquid purified from the spiritual herbs, and penetrating into the violent spiritual energy flying out of the demon pill little by little, soothing these irritable dragons and snakes.

Chen Yuan's efforts paid off. The two spiritual energies of completely different natures mixed together, and these violent spiritual energies became more and more gentle, until they were the same as the spiritual liquid purified from the spiritual herbs.

Refining the demon primordial pill does not require a complete balance of the two kinds of spiritual energy. Just add a little mild spiritual energy, and the violent spiritual energy in the demon pill will be assimilated and finally condensed into a pill.

Chen Yuan's consciousness is comparable to that of a mid-stage Jindan cultivator. It is not difficult to refine the fifth-level demon primordial pill. He is very careful and cautious during the process of refining the pill, gradually transforming most of the violent spiritual energy contained in the demon pill.

But after all, it was his first time to refine the demon primordial pill. He had no experience. After transforming 80% of the demon pill's spiritual energy, something went wrong. The spiritual energy was rioting, and the black water snake demon pill and the purified spiritual herbs and spiritual liquid all disappeared.

Chen Yuan carefully summed up his experience, and after his consciousness recovered, he began to refine the pill for the second time.

This time he was more careful, and finally there was no mistake. It took a month to refine two fifth-level demon primordial pills.

Looking at the two longan-sized light blue pills in front of him, Chen Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, put away one, held the other in his left hand, and stood up and came to the thatched house.

He stretched out his left hand, and the fifth-level demon Yuandan flew out. A layer of invisible light curtain suddenly emerged from around the thatched house. The demon Yuandan slowly merged into the light curtain, creating waves like water waves.

After a moment, the fifth-level demon Yuandan disappeared, and the invisible light curtain covering the thatched house also dissipated, and the door opened silently.

Chen Yuan walked into the house. A pure white jade slip was hanging in the center of the thatched house, and there was a cushion below. There was nothing else.

Chen Yuan frowned. The inheritance of old man Dan Jue was so simple?

He raised his hand and took the jade slip in his hand. His spiritual consciousness probed into it. The old man Dan Jue's old voice sounded in his ears: "Younger cultivator, I will give you all the alchemy skills I have gained in my life. I don't ask for anything else, but I ask for the inheritance to continue..."

The voice faded away, and the method of purifying and transforming the demon pill and demon power appeared. Chen Yuan was fascinated by it and admired old man Dan Jue to the extreme.

In addition, Elder Dan Jue also left dozens of recipes for Yao Yuan Dan, telling the process of how he found this method and the reason for leaving behind the inheritance.

There is an extreme shortage of thousand-year spiritual herbs in the world of immortal cultivation. Most Yuanying cultivators can only bury their heads in hard cultivation and absorb the thin spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and their cultivation will remain in the early stage of Yuanying throughout their lives.

Only a few lucky Yuanying cultivators can find thousand-year spiritual herbs from ancient secrets and various dangerous places, or cultivators from large sects with deep foundation can cultivate some thousand-year spiritual herbs.

Elder Dan Jue is just a casual cultivator, and his alchemy skills are not recognized. Few Yuanying cultivators ask him to make pills. After more than ten years of hard cultivation, his cultivation progress is extremely slow. If he continues to cultivate step by step, he can only barely break through the bottleneck of the middle stage until he dies.

This is because he had no shortage of elixirs before he formed a baby, and his cultivation speed was extremely fast. He formed a Yuanying in just three hundred years, so he had this confidence.

Most cultivators have been cultivating for more than three hundred years or even more than four hundred years when they form a baby, and they cannot even touch the bottleneck of the middle stage until they die.

Elder Dan Jue had no choice but to look for opportunities everywhere, hoping to get some thousand-year-old spiritual herbs to improve his alchemy skills to the level of a great master of alchemy.

There is a dangerous place in Yuqing Sea, called "Jueling Island", which contains many rare treasures. Even Yuanying cultivators who enter it are in danger of life and death. It opens once every hundred years. Elder Dan Jue entered it twice and accidentally got a fragment of the recipe.

This is a fragment of a Yuanying stage elixir, but its main material is the demon elixir, but the steps of alchemy have been destroyed and the whole picture cannot be seen.

Inspired by the fragment, Elder Dan Jue devoted himself to research, and after a lot of attempts, he actually studied the method of purifying and transforming the demon elixir's demon power based on this incomplete recipe, and then supplemented it with low-level spiritual herbs to refine the elixir and improve his cultivation.
