Nine Transformations of the True Spirit

Qingliu Sea, Wuchen Island.

The Wuchen Mountains were silent, and the spiritual birds and beasts raised by the Lu family were either lying on the ground or hiding in their nests, shivering, without the spirituality and liveliness of the past.

The wind also disappeared, the air was stagnant and solid, the sky was clear, without a single white cloud.

A solid formation curtain enveloped the entire Wuchen Mountains. Forty-nine foundation-building monks held formation flags and patrolled back and forth, occasionally glancing at the Wuchen Peak in the center of the mountains, with excited expressions.

Lu Qing and Lu Haiwei were suspended in the air, staring at the Wuchen Peak with a solemn look.

Lu Haiwei held a formation plate in his left hand, with a dazzling spiritual light on it, and twenty-four high-quality spiritual stones flickered, which was a sign that the clan protection formation had been stimulated to the extreme.

A thin mist appeared over the Wuchen Peak, gradually becoming thicker and flashing with colorful light, then slowly turning, gradually speeding up, until it turned into a five-colored hurricane, whistling.

Suddenly, a colorful beam of light shot up from the hurricane, passing through the clan protection formation and penetrating the sky!

A gleam of light flashed in Lv Haiwei's eyes, and a trace of spirit appeared on his old face: "It's started!"

Lv Qing's expression was a bit complicated, with a hint of confusion in his anticipation. He remained silent, and slowly clenched his hands in his sleeves.

The forty-nine foundation-building monks all turned their heads to look at Wuchen Peak, their expressions were very excited, and some even forgot their patrol duties.

Lv Haiwei's spiritual sense covered the entire Wuchen Mountain Range. Seeing this, his face sank and he shouted: "Everyone should perform their duties and not slack off. Violators will be severely punished!"

His voice was not loud, but it was clearly transmitted to the ears of every foundation-building monk.

Everyone's face changed, and they immediately stopped smiling and inspected carefully, not daring to be negligent, but they couldn't help but secretly glance at Wuchen Peak, their eyes full of excitement.

Today is the day when Lu Gui, the head of the Lu family, will impact the Nascent Soul, and they can't help but be excited.

As long as Lu Gui succeeds in forming a Nascent Soul, his life span will double, and the Lu family will immediately be promoted to a medium-sized family, and the sea area under its jurisdiction can be expanded by at least three times, and it can also become a hegemon in the Qingliu Sea!

As members of the Lu family, they are naturally promoted to heaven, and even the unattainable Jindan realm has a glimmer of hope.

But unlike the excited foundation-building cultivators, Lu Haiwei's expression was extremely solemn after the initial expectation.

Lu Gui's road to forming a Nascent Soul was not smooth. Since Ziyang Taoist sneaked into the Wuchen Mountains eight years ago and the space magic weapon appeared in the world, Lu Gui has been seeking to form a Nascent Soul, but it was not until today that he impacted the Nascent Soul.

He offered the green jade to the Zhenhai Sect in exchange for several spiritual objects that helped to form a pill, as well as a spiritual source bead, which he placed in the Lu family's spiritual vein, so that it could emit spiritual energy comparable to that of a medium-sized spiritual vein within a year, helping Lu Gui to form a baby.

If Lu Gui succeeded in forming a baby, it would naturally be a great success for all the people in the family, and the Lu family would be on the road to prosperity from then on.

But if Lu Gui failed to form a baby, not only would the spiritual objects he exchanged from the Zhenhai Sect be gone, but the Lu family's spiritual vein would also be severely damaged and would take a hundred years to recover.

Only Lu Haiwei and Lu Qing knew about this matter. The foundation-building cultivators of the Lu family were fully convinced that Lu Gui would be able to form a baby with the help of the Zhenhai Sect, and they did not consider the possibility of failure at all.

They looked at the colorful light column that went straight into the sky, their expressions were extremely excited, their bodies trembled slightly, and they had no demeanor of foundation-building cultivators.

But at this moment, the powerful colorful light column suddenly began to shrink, the hurricane around the Wuchen Peak also stopped, and the Wuchen Mountains returned to silence.

Forty-nine foundation-building monks were stunned, while Lv Haiwei and Lv Qing's faces changed greatly.

"All foundation-building monks return to their caves immediately, and are not allowed to leave the Dustless Mountains, or to send messages by flying talismans, or to disclose this matter. Violators will be severely punished!" Lv Haiwei suddenly spoke, and his old voice was like the cold wind of winter, blowing into the ears of all foundation-building monks.

All the foundation-building monks trembled, not daring to delay for a moment, raised their hands and threw the spiritual light array flag out, and turned around to fly back to their caves.

The spiritual light array flag flew into the sky and merged into the array curtain. Lv Haiwei pinched his right hand, and the array plate in his left hand hummed, the spiritual light dimmed, and the twenty-four high-quality spiritual stones turned into powder and drifted away with the wind.

The Lu family's protective array stopped operating, the array curtain disappeared, and the sweet cries of spiritual birds and beasts rang everywhere, and the dead Dustless Mountains came back to life.

But Lv Haiwei's face was as gloomy as water, and Lv Qing's complicated eyes were also full of regret.

Lv Gui failed to form a baby.

No, he didn't even try to form a baby. He just started and suddenly stopped forming a baby. He would definitely suffer a huge backlash and be seriously injured.

But he was still in seclusion at this time. The cave was closed and the formation was activated. It was impossible for the two to rush into Lv Gui's cave. They could only wait for him to heal himself.

Lv Qing suddenly said: "Sixth uncle controls the clan protection formation, which consumes a lot of spiritual consciousness. It's better to go back to the house to recuperate first, and the nephew can guard here."

Lv Haiwei had a gloomy face and nodded: "Well, you keep a close eye on it. Big brother needs time to recover from his injuries. During this period, no accidents are allowed."

"Nephew, save it." Lv Qing responded.

Lv Haiwei turned around and left, leaving only Lv Qing at the edge of Wuchen Peak.

He looked at Wuchen Peak in silence. After a long time, he finally took out a cushion from the mustard ring and meditated in the void.

A month later, Lu Qing, who was meditating, opened his eyes. The stone door of Lu Gui's cave on the top of Wuchen Peak opened. Lu Gui walked out slowly, rode on the light of escape, and slowly flew in front of Lu Qing.

Lu Qing put away the cushion, stood up, and bowed to Lu Gui: "Uncle."

Lu Gui's expression was a little tired, and there were more wrinkles on his face than before the retreat. Originally, his temples were only gray, but now he has black hair mixed with white hair, showing his age.

At this time, Lu Haiwei also flew out of the cave, came to the two of them, looked at Lu Gui up and down, and asked with concern: "Brother, are you okay?"

Lu Gui said: "I'm fine."

Lu Hai breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Why did the eldest brother terminate the pregnancy early?"

Lu Qing also had an inquiring look on his face, but he was just a junior and could not speak in front of the two of them, so he could only listen silently.

Lu Gui sighed softly: "I overestimated my physical body. I am four hundred and fifty-six years old this year. I only took a heavy mountain fruit that has the effect of tempering the body two hundred years ago. Over the years, my physical body has gradually declined. ”

"When I was having a baby, I had some realization. If I forcefully have a baby, I will definitely die from the Yin Fire Tribulation, and I have to stop the baby."

Lu Haiwei's expression became extremely ugly: "So, brother, does he still have... any hope of having a baby?"

Lu Guidao: "Although I was severely injured due to the backlash from the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, my true origin has not been damaged. As long as I find the body-tempering elixir to strengthen my body, I can still attack the infant."

A big stone fell to Lu Haiwei's heart, and he kept saying: "That's good, that's good!"

He was already old and was not going to die soon. His only obsession was to see Lu Guiying succeed and the Lu family embark on the road to prosperity, which already made him feel confused.

Lu Qing still remained calm: "The body-tempering elixir... This is a treasure even rarer than the eight-hundred-year-old elixir. It is priceless but extremely difficult to find."

Lu Haiwei frowned: "Yes, the body-tempering elixir is so hard to find. Where are you going to start?"

Lu Gui said calmly: "Where else can I find it? I can only go to Jueling Island for a while."

Lu Haiwei's expression changed: "No!"

Lu Qing's expression also became serious: "Uncle, Jueling Island is too dangerous. In my opinion, it's better to take a long-term approach."

Lu Gui said calmly: "Don't worry, if I can avoid being involved in danger, I will naturally not go to Jueling Island to fight for my life."

"There are still twenty-three years until Jueling Island is opened. I will first go to the Sea of ​​Ten Thousand Demons to look for the body-tempering elixir. If I don't find it, I will enter Jueling Island to give it a try."

Lu Hai breathed a sigh of relief, but was still a little worried, and advised: "The demon clan is the most important in body refining. From time to time, monks find body tempering elixir in the sea of ​​ten thousand demons. If you search carefully, you will definitely gain something. This Jueling Island It’s okay not to go.”

Lu Hai shook his head slightly: "The body-tempering elixir is too precious and extremely rare in the Sea of ​​Ten Thousand Demons. It can only depend on luck."

"I don't have much life left, so I can't delay it any longer. If I can't find it in the Sea of ​​Ten Thousand Monsters, I can only go to the Jueling Island to try."

Lu Qing suddenly said: "Uncle, why don't you ask Zhenhaizong for the body-tempering elixir?"

"Zhenhai Sect is a large sect with a long heritage. Although the body tempering elixir is precious, it is certainly nothing to Zhenhai Sect."

Lu Haiwei perked up: "Yes, the space magic weapon that our Lu family dedicated to Zhenhaizong can be used as a sect's foundation."

"But the Zhenhai Sect only gave the eldest brother some spiritual objects to form a baby, not even the body-tempering elixir, and did not even allow the eldest brother to use the Zhenhai Sect's spiritual veins to form a baby. This is really deceiving!"

Lu Gui's face darkened: "Don't mention this matter again!"

"Why don't I know how precious space magic weapons are?"

"But our Lu family is just a small family. If we don't give the space magic weapon to Zhenhai Sect, we will be wiped out in the blink of an eye!"

"This space magic weapon is not only presented to the Zhenhai Sect by my Lu family, but also to get rid of a big trouble. It is already good to be able to exchange for these infant spiritual objects. The Zhenhai Sect even gave me a spiritual source bead from the Lu family, which is already a huge profit. few."

"You guys must not forget that although our Lu family has some connections with the Zhenhaizong, more than six hundred years have passed and the relationship has been exhausted. It is impossible for the Zhenhaizong to look at the Lu family differently."

"You have to be strong to make iron. If you want to have a baby, you can't rely on the strength of others, you can only rely on yourself!"

Lu Gui's words were very harsh. Lu Haiwei and Lu Qing did not dare to persuade them any more. Their heads hung slightly and they all fell silent.

After a while, Lu Gui spoke slowly again, but his tone softened: "Of course, it would be great if we could find the body-tempering elixir in the Sea of ​​Ten Thousand Demons."

"But if I can't find it, I have to go to Jueling Island and give it a try."

He paused and then said: "The trip to Jueling Island is extremely dangerous. If I fail to come back, Lu Qing will take over as the head of the family."

The two of them looked up at Lu Gui, and Lu Qing's eyes were full of surprise.

Lu Gui looked at Lu Qing and said calmly: "The Lu family has been prospering in the past few decades, but it has also made many enemies. After you take over the position of the head of the Lu family, you must not continue to expand without encountering provocation from other families. , we must put patience first and hide our strength and bide our time.”

"I have an old relationship with Dao Xuanzi, the master of alchemy in the Qiusheng Sea. He owes me a favor. Before I go to the Sea of ​​Ten Thousand Monsters, I will ask him to refine a few bottles of elixirs for you. You must concentrate on your practice and strive to break through the mid-term bottleneck as soon as possible. After my death, protect my Lu family’s inheritance.”

Lu Qing looked at Lu Gui, his expression changing, and he suddenly bowed deeply: "My nephew accepts the order, but I believe that Da Boji has his own destiny and will be able to return safely from Jueling Island."

Lu Gui was noncommittal: "Be prepared, everything is for the prosperity of the Lu family."

After that, he turned around and flew towards the cave.

…

Sea of ​​Ten Thousand Demons.

On a deserted island several acres in size, there is sparse vegetation and silence. The waves rush on the shore and hit the rocks, stirring up bursts of water mist.

Chen Yuan restrained his breath and stood on the shore, holding a formation plate in his left hand, spreading his spiritual sense, waiting for the monster to take the bait.

Three days ago, he put a demon-luring pill into the sea, but it had not attracted a level 5 demon beast.

Suddenly, a sharp whistle came from a distance. Chen Yuan looked up and saw a beast shadow tearing through the air and rushing over the boundless sea.

After a few breaths, the beast shadow broke into Chen Yuan's spiritual sense.

He saw clearly that it was a giant eagle about ten feet long, with black feathers all over its body, a pair of cyan eyes, iron claws and sword beak, a strong body, and a gust of wind, flying towards the island at an astonishing speed.

Chen Yuan's face changed. This was actually a level 7 green-eyed eagle!

The green-eyed eagle soon came to the sky above the island, ignored Chen Yuan, plunged into the sea, swallowed the demon-luring pill in the sea, and then flapped its wings, rushed out of the sea, stirred up water splashes all over the sky, and rushed straight to Chen Yuan.

Although Chen Yuan looked solemn, he did not flee. Instead, he retreated to the center of the island. After the blue-eyed eagle flew over, he shouted, "Rise!"

The array disk shone brightly, and array flags appeared around the deserted island. Four array curtains rose in an instant and closed together, trapping the blue-eyed eagle inside.

The blue-eyed eagle was furious, screamed, and its wings flashed. Two strong winds blew towards Chen Yuan.

"Fall!" Chen Yuan pointed at the array disk, and hundreds of golden flying swords appeared out of thin air and shot at the blue-eyed eagle. At the same time, he pulled back to avoid the strong wind.

He set up a high-level spiritual array. The golden flying swords were powerful, but they were nothing in front of the level 7 blue-eyed eagle. After barely breaking the strong wind, only a few flying swords were left, which were impatiently swept away by the blue-eyed eagle.

But Chen Yuan took this opportunity to withdraw from the array, drove the escape light, and fled.

The green-eyed eagle was stunned for a moment, then let out a sharp cry that spread over a hundred miles, flapped its wings, and chased after Chen Yuan.

But although Chen Yuan fled, the formation was not broken. Hundreds of golden flying swords shot at the green-eyed eagle and stopped it.

It could only look at Chen Yuan who was fleeing away in anger, and let out a sharp cry, shaking the formation curtain.

Chen Yuan ignored the green-eyed eagle behind him, just frantically urged his true energy and ran for his life.

The high-level spiritual formation could not stop the seventh-level monster for too long. He had to escape from this sea area before the green-eyed eagle broke the formation.

A quarter of an hour later, seeing that the green-eyed eagle had not caught up, Chen Yuan slowed down his escape speed, smiled bitterly, identified the direction, and flew east.

Make up for today.
