Nine Transformations of the True Spirit

Chen Yuan returned the salute with his hands raised, and said with a smile: "Chen Yuan, fellow Taoist Wei, are you here, what important business do you have?"

Wei Changhong looked at Chen Yuan for a few times without leaving any trace, and hesitated: "Did Fellow Daoist Chen make a breakthrough in his cultivation?"

Although Chen Yuan did not show any energy, he was full of energy and energy, and he looked like he was making a breakthrough in his cultivation.

Chen Yuandao: "Fellow Taoist Wei's gaze is like a torch. Chen has been in seclusion for a long time and luckily broke through the bottleneck."

A smile appeared on Wei Changhong's face and he saluted Chen Yuan again: "Congratulations to Fellow Daoist Chen for his great progress in cultivation. There is nothing important for Wei. Three years ago, a monk from this pavilion came to visit Fellow Daoist Chen at his residence and sent a biography to Fellow Daoist Chen. "Music note, fellow Taoist, do you still remember it?"

Since Chen Yuan admitted that he had made a breakthrough in his cultivation, he was at least a mid-stage alchemy monk. Wei Changhong naturally had to treat him with courtesy. He could not tell Chen Yuan face-to-face about defaulting on the rent of the cave, otherwise he would be hurting Chen Yuan's face.

Chen Yuan's face showed a look of surprise: "Friend Wei, please wait a moment. Chen has just stabilized his realm and is still in a state of mind, but he has forgotten this matter."

He raised his hand to grab it, and a transmission note flew out of the cave and fell into his hand.

Chen Yuan's spiritual consciousness probed into the transmission notes. After a moment, he raised his head and said with a smile: "It turned out to be a matter of renting the cave. Chen was in retreat at the time and had no time to be distracted. He neglected this matter. Give me a few days and we will definitely meet up." Make up for the rent arrears.”

Wei Changhong smiled and said: "This matter is not urgent. It is just nine high-grade spiritual stones. Fellow Daoist Chen only needs to make up for it within a month."

"This is not Wei's intention to push fellow Taoist. It is a rule set by the sect. Please forgive me."

He is a smooth person. Even if he is the largest monk in Yu Qinghai, no matter what he thinks in his heart, he will never think too highly of himself. His words make people very comfortable.

Seeing that Wei Changhong was so reasonable, Chen Yuan reciprocated the favor: "How could Chen wrongly blame fellow Daoist Wei? Let's do this. I will make up the rent in as little as three days or as much as seven days."

Wei Changhong nodded, then changed the topic and said with a smile: "It is a happy event that my fellow Taoist is leaving seclusion today, so we must celebrate it."

"I have a pot of Jinghai tea in my house. Drinking it can clear your mind, improve your eyesight, and nourish your meridians."

"I would like to invite fellow Taoist Chen to have a cup of tea and discuss Taoism to congratulate fellow Taoist for breaking through the bottleneck. What do you think of your friendship?"

Chen Yuan smiled and said: "Fellow Taoist invites you, but Chen dares not to comply."

Wei Changhong laughed: "Fellow Taoist, please come with me."

Chen Yuan immediately took up the Dunguang, followed Wei Changhong, and flew to Xuedaofang City.

The caves rented to the Alchemy monks on Blood Island are not within Fangshi, but in a small mountain range nearly ten miles long next to Fangshi. There are hundreds of them.

Chen Yuan Cave Mansion is located in a remote valley. The scenery is mediocre and the spiritual energy is thin. There is no second cave mansion within a radius of several hundred feet.

Sihai Pavilion is located next to the mountains and on the edge of Xuedaofang City. It didn't take the two of them long to arrive in front of a small courtyard behind Sihai Pavilion.

This is a two-entry courtyard, which is very exquisite, but as a cave for monks to form pills, it is quite shabby.

Wei Changhong seemed to have seen what Chen Yuan was thinking, and said with a smile: "Wei was ordered by the sect to be in charge of the Sihai Pavilion for ten years. It has been nine years now. In one year, he will leave Mohai. He chose the cave as he pleased. It made fellow Taoists laugh."

Chen Yuan said: "My generation of monks is based on cultivation. The world is so big that there is nowhere to live. It is common to eat the wind and drink the dew. Everything else is just passing clouds and smoke, so why bother."

A trace of surprise flashed in Wei Changhong's eyes, and he said with a smile: "Fellow Taoist Chen's words are very much in line with my wishes. Everything outside the Dao is false. Fellow Taoist, please come in."

He raised his hand and waved, the courtyard door opened, the two of them walked into the courtyard, and sat down in the main hall.

Wei Changhong raised his hand and grabbed it, and a celadon teapot appeared out of thin air in his hand. He grasped it with his left hand, and an extra tea cup appeared. He tilted his right hand slightly, and a stream of blue water flowed out of the teapot and poured into the tea cup.

He put down the teapot and offered the teacup with his own hand: "This is our Zhenhaizong's unique Jinghai tea. It is made from the buds of five-hundred-year-old tea trees, mixed with dozens of kinds of spiritual things such as ambergris and Haiqionghua." It’s made, please taste it, Taoist friends.”

Chen Yuan picked up the tea cup. The tea in the cup was blue and clear, like a pool of sea water.

The sound of rushing waves could be faintly heard in my ears, and a fresh smell unique to the sea spread out, refreshing but without the salty smell of sea water.

After drinking it, a stream of spiritual energy traveled around in the meridians, and the ears and eyes became aware of it. Finally, it entered the Dantian, and the cultivation level actually increased slightly.

Chen Yuan put down the tea cup and praised: "Jinghai tea is indeed well-deserved. It is actually effective for me and other alchemy monks. It is really a rare high-grade spiritual treasure."

Wei Changhong laughed, raised his hand, and the teapot flew up automatically, filling Chen Yuan with spiritual tea: "Fellow Taoist Chen and I hit it off immediately. We don't have any other good things, so I can only entertain you Taoist friend with this Jinghai tea. Come on, Taoist friend Chen."

Seeing Wei Changhong's enthusiasm, Chen Yuan did not refuse anyone who came and raised his teacup to sip gently.

While the two were drinking tea, they couldn't help but talk about their past experiences, their experiences in cultivating immortals, and they also exchanged some cultivation experiences.

Chen Yuan had the memory of Master Qingyou, so he naturally had extraordinary insights and often had wonderful words.

Wei Changhong was secretly shocked. Chen Yuan had extensive knowledge and unique insights into the way of cultivation, no less than him, an elder of the Zhenhai Sect.

He tested Chen Yuan's identity in his words, and Chen Yuan made no secret of it. He revealed his identity as the elder Ke Qing of the Zhengqi Alliance, and told about the future demon hunting in Mohai.

The Zhengqi Alliance and Zhenhaizong often had frictions, but he was just an elder from Keqing, and Wei Changhong did not have any hostility towards him because of this.

And Wei Changhong also went into the Wan Yao Sea to hunt monsters all year round. The two talked about this and had a great time. It was not until late in the evening and the bright moon was hanging high that they dispersed.

Chen Yuan left the Blood Island Market, drove the escape light, and returned to the cave. He frowned slightly and thought about what happened today.

Wei Changhong was too enthusiastic about him, which made him a little wary.

However, everyone has different preferences. Some cultivators like to make friends everywhere and expand their network, while some cultivators just bury their heads in hard work and don't like to interact with others.

Chen Yuan talked with Wei Changhong and saw that he was very cunning, smooth, and very good at making friends.

Maybe Wei Changhong was just so enthusiastic because he saw him break through the bottleneck and they had the same cultivation. If he was replaced by a cultivator in the early stage of Jindan, he might change his face.

Chen Yuan's mind turned, and he couldn't see what Wei Changhong was thinking, so he simply let it go.

If Wei Changhong really had other intentions, it would definitely be revealed.

If he just likes to make friends, Chen Yuan naturally wouldn't mind getting to know the elders of Zhenhai Sect and expanding his network.

He flew all the way back to the cave. It was already midnight. The surroundings were quiet and silent, and the sky was full of stars.

Chen Yuan lowered the escape light outside the cave, took out the jade pendant, and drew the starlight into his body.

This place is extremely remote, and no one is disturbing around.

After thirty breaths, the starlight disappeared, and the true essence in Chen Yuan's dantian dissipated.

He clenched his fists, and his strength increased a little, which was stronger than the effect of drawing starlight into his body in the past.

Chen Yuan showed a smile on his face, raised his sleeves, opened the door of the cave, and walked in.

This was the first time he had starlight into his body after coming out of retreat.

Three months ago, he successfully broke through the bottleneck of the middle stage of Jindan, and spent another three months to consolidate his realm.

His cultivation level has greatly improved, his true essence has increased dramatically, and the effect of starlight into his body has also increased a lot.

Since entering the Ink Sea, he has never relaxed the starlight infusion every half month. In the past twenty years, his physical body has been continuously strengthened, and now it can be compared with the peak level six monsters.

But every time the physical body breaks through the bottleneck, it is extremely difficult. If Chen Yuan wants to break through again, he needs to go through at least another twenty years of starlight infusion, or refine the second kind of true spirit essence blood, or strengthen the physical body with body-hardening spirit medicine.

True spirit essence blood is hard to find, and it is extremely difficult to refine true spirit essence blood with the physical strength of a level six monster. It cannot be too pure, otherwise it is very easy to fail.

Body-hardening spirit medicine is also very rare. He, Li Luo, and Yuan Lang were very lucky to find the water ape fruit before, but the water ape fruit is useless to Chen Yuan, otherwise he would not give it to Li Luo.

It is extremely difficult to find a body-hardening spirit medicine that is useful to him.

There are body-hardening spirit medicines in the Ten Thousand Monsters Sea, but more than 90% of them are in the hands of the monster royal family and are guarded by the transformed monsters. Chen Yuan can't get involved at all.

Other body-hardening elixirs are either in the hands of transformed monsters and kept secret, or scattered throughout the sea of ​​monsters. Finding them can only rely on luck, which is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Starlight infusion is the safest and only way.

Unfortunately, the power of the stars in the sky is still a little thinner every time the starlight is infused into the body, so it can only be accumulated slowly.

Chen Yuan shook his head helplessly, but he didn't know how greedy he was.

The jade can draw the power of the stars in the sky to temper the body, and there is no risk. It is the treasure that all body cultivators dream of, and they are willing to exchange their entire fortunes for it.

As long as you practice hard in seclusion in the mansion, you can draw starlight into your body every half a month, and you can strengthen your body. It's just that the time to break through the bottleneck is a little slower, which is completely tolerable.

But after practicing "Nine Transformations of the True Spirit", Chen Yuan has long been accustomed to the rapid progress of his cultivation. As long as he has elixirs in his hands, he can improve his cultivation, and there is no need to consider bottlenecks at all.

This was the first time that he was limited by the strength of his physical body. Before his physical body broke through, his cultivation could only stay in the middle stage of the Jindan, and at most he could cultivate to the peak of the middle stage.

Chen Yuan still had 22 level 6 demon pills in his hand. If all of them were refined into demon essence pills, his cultivation could still increase a lot.

But after he refined Zhu Yan's true blood, he completed the first transformation of the true spirit, and his true essence was pure and rich. He needed at least more than 60 level 6 demon pills to cultivate to the peak of the middle stage.

This time, he was in seclusion, and he swallowed all the demon essence pills refined from 76 level 5 demon pills, and then he cultivated to the middle stage of the Jindan.

If he hadn't taken a lot of pills before, the demon essence pills refined from 76 demon pills would not even be enough.

After all, the demon essence pill is made from demon pills as the main medicine, and it is necessary to transform the violent demon power into pure spiritual energy, which is inevitable.

Compared with the same-level pills made from spiritual herbs, the medicinal power of the demon essence pill is slightly inferior, and because the properties of the demon pill are different, some will be consumed during refining.

The Nine Transformations of the True Spirit is not in the Five Elements, but Chen Yuan refined Zhu Yan's true blood, and his true essence was transformed into fire true essence.

Only when taking the Yao Yuan Dan made from the fire demon pill can all the medicinal power be absorbed, and the effects of other pills are somewhat worse.

More than 90% of the Ten Thousand Demons Sea are water demon beasts, and Chen Yuan will lose a lot of medicinal power when refining the Yao Yuan Dan.

However, he also has advantages, that is, his physical body is strong, and he has refined Zhu Yan's true blood. When refining the Yao Yuan Dan that transforms demon power into spiritual energy, the speed is extremely fast. He can refine one pill in ten days, which is two-thirds shorter than the time for refining the same-level spiritual herb pill. In general, the speed of cultivation is greatly improved.

This is also the reason why he can refine more than 300 Yao Yuan Dan in eleven years.

If it were an ordinary cultivator, it would take a month to refine one pill, and it would take at least thirty years to cultivate to the middle stage of Dan formation.

Of course, the true essence of other Jindan cultivators is far less pure and rich than Chen Yuan's. They can break through the bottleneck of the middle stage without refining so many pills.

For Chen Yuan, cultivation is not difficult, but strengthening the body is difficult.

And this can only be achieved by attracting starlight to the body and accumulating over time. There is no other way.

Chen Yuan frowned slightly. Does he really have to wait for twenty years to cultivate to the late stage of Jindan?

The road to immortal cultivation is to compete for the first step.

Although he has not been in Jindan for a long time and still has more than 300 years of life to impact Yuanying, it is difficult to find the descendants of the true spirit. He has no confidence to find the descendants of the true spirit in 300 years.

One more year to find the descendants of the true spirit is also extremely precious.

When he was hunting monsters in the Wan Yao Sea, he traveled hundreds of thousands of miles, but the jade pendant never felt anything.

The Wan Yao Sea is vast and boundless, and there are many transformed monsters. Chen Yuan wants to find the descendants of the true spirit among the endless monsters, which is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Is it... necessary to enter the Jueling Island?

Chen Yuan came to the practice room and sat on the futon with a solemn expression.

Apart from the Wan Yao Sea, only the Jueling Island has the body-hardening elixir.

True Man Qing You had entered the Jueling Island before, and his experience on the Jueling Island left a deep impression on Chen Yuan.

This island is indeed the most dangerous place in the Yuqing Sea. True Man Qing You survived a life-threatening situation on the Jueling Island and escaped.

But it was also because of his experience on the Jueling Island that he was able to practice all the way to the peak of the Jindan stage.

If it weren't for the destruction of the Wentian Sect, it is very likely that the Nascent Soul would succeed.

Chen Yuan hesitated for a moment, but finally suppressed this thought.

Every time the Jueling Island was opened, at least a dozen Nascent Soul cultivators entered to look for opportunities, and the Jindan cultivators were like ants.

As a casual cultivator, he had no one to rely on, and it was too risky for him to enter the island to look for body-hardening elixir.

And he had the Jade Jue in his hand, and he could practice to the late Jindan stage with time, so it was better not to take risks.

The next thing to do is to sell the monster materials in hand, upgrade the thousand-year-old ice silk gloves that are no longer useful to a magic weapon, and then refine all the sixth-level monster pills in hand into monster Yuan Dan to increase the cultivation.

After that, go to the Ten Thousand Monster Sea to hunt monsters and get pills, and at the same time use starlight to strengthen the body, and by the way, look for the descendants of the true spirit.

Chen Yuan calmed down, slowly closed his eyes, and absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

Three days later, Chen Yuan's true energy was fully restored. He put on a hat to cover half of his face, walked out of the cave, and came to the market.

Make up for today's, and update at 8 am tomorrow.
