Nine Transformations of the True Spirit
Chapter 288 Calculation
Seeing that Old Ghost Ji hoped to take a step back from Ancestor Yuntian, Mr. Songshi's hanging heart finally dropped.
When he heard that Patriarch Yuntian personally admitted that this was a spirit-spelling technique, he fell into despair.
After Lu Gui used the spirit-conquering technique, he became the incarnation of the Yuantian ancestor of Yuntian, and could easily kill all the alchemy monks from the Tianji Sect.
A traitor like him is even less likely to end well.
But Jing Shuhan immediately used the spirit-conjuring technique, which made Mr. Songshi ecstatic, and even felt a sense of exhaustion after the disaster.
As the supreme elder of Tianji Sect, Ji Laogui, although his cultivation level is one level lower than that of Patriarch Yuntian, he is also famous as a powerful demon in Yu Qinghai, and he is not at a disadvantage in terms of momentum.
But the subsequent conversation between the two made Mr. Songshi's heart slowly rise again.
Wang Lin and Chen Yuan were actually deliberately trained by two Nascent Soul cultivators.
This is the physical cultivation of two middle-stage pill formations. After practicing all the way to this point, I don’t know how many body-tempering elixirs I have to take and how many cultivation resources are consumed.
Even for Yuanying monks, it is not a small amount of money.
Mr. Songshi was secretly frightened and quietly looked at the two people.
If he had the powerful support of Nascent Soul, why would he betray his trust and act as an internal agent for Tianji Sect?
However, being valued by Yuanying monks is both a good thing and a disaster. The word "flowering and bearing fruit" clearly has bad intentions.
He didn't think that these two Nascent Soul Ancestors would be good people. Since they spent so much money cultivating physical cultivation, they must have something to gain.
But none of this has anything to do with him, he just wants to save his life.
But after Ji Laogui finished speaking, Patriarch Yuntian's words made Mr. Songshi feel like he had fallen into an ice cave.
"Everyone take a step back? That's fine. As long as the fellow Taoist hand over the turquoise stone, you and your disciples can leave on your own." Patriarch Yuntian said.
Mr. Songshi's expression changed drastically and he said urgently: "Ancestor, this junior became the secret son of Tianji Sect twenty years ago. There is no merit but hard work..."
"That's enough!" Ji Laogui interrupted him and looked at Patriarch Yuntian again, his brows furrowed, "Fellow Taoist, why should you embarrass a junior?"
Ancestor Yuntian said: "I don't like traitors, especially traitors from the Zhenhai Sect. In addition, I need the Tongtian Token in his hand."
"Tong Tian Ling?" Ji Laogui's face darkened, "How can Zhenhai Sect lack this thing? Are you trying to amuse me?"
The Tongtian Token is a rare treasure for the Danjie monks, but Yuanying monks can get it as long as they spend some time and effort, and it is nothing to the Zhenhai Sect.
Ancestor Yuntian said with a smile: "To the Zhenhai Sect, the Tongtian Order is indeed nothing."
"But Jueling Island will be opened in less than two years, and all the Tongtian Orders of our sect have been allocated."
"And I happen to need a new Heavenly Token, but I don't want to search hard. Fellow Taoist, I guess you won't make it difficult for me, right?"
Ji Laogui was silent for a moment, turned to look at Mr. Songshi, and said coldly: "Hand over the Tongtian Token."
When Mr. Songshi heard this, he was extremely reluctant to give up, but he did not dare to refuse and took out the Heaven Token from the mustard seed ring.
This Heavenly Token was originally given to him by the Tianji Sect as a reward for helping the Tianji Sect seize the Golden Scale Fruit as an internal agent. Now that Old Ghost Ji wanted to take it back, he could only endure it silently.
Ji Laogui raised his sleeves and flicked the Heavenly Token to fly towards Ancestor Yuntian, saying, "This Golden Scale Fruit matter is our Tianji Sect's fault. This Heavenly Token should be regarded as an apology."
Ancestor Yuntian raised his hand to catch the Tongtian Ling and threw it casually, causing the Tongtian Ling to fly towards Chen Yuan.
Chen Yuan was stunned, raised his hand to catch the Tongtian Ling, and looked at Patriarch Yuntian in confusion.
Ji Laogui was also stunned for a moment, then looked at Chen Yuan carefully, frowned and said, "Aren't you a Zhenhai Sect monk?"
Chen Yuan bowed his hands and said, "Junior Chen Yuan is just a casual cultivator."
Two clusters of will-o'-the-wisps suddenly lit up in Old Ghost Ji's eyes: "Where did your body cultivation technique come from, and how did you get to this point?"
"Fellow Daoist, please be careful. I want this person. Do you still want to rob him in front of me?" Ancestor Yuntian said calmly.
As his voice fell, a powerful pressure slowly dispersed, and a heavy boulder seemed to appear above everyone's heads. It seemed that it might fall at any time and smash them to pieces.
Ji Laogui was the first to bear the brunt. He endured the greatest pressure and the most strenuous effort. However, he still had a calm expression on his face: "Haha, fellow Taoist, I misunderstood. I just care about the younger generation of monks."
"Congratulations to fellow Taoist for getting this help. I will definitely be able to return home with a full load."
At this moment, he deeply hated himself for why he only sent a disciple here who was in the early stage of forming the pill.
If he had known that he would encounter a body cultivator stronger than Wang Lin, he would definitely come here in person, even if he destroyed the Yuanting incarnation of Patriarch Yuntian!
Patriarch Yuntian smiled slightly and said noncommittally: "Now I don't have to worry about you, fellow Taoist. Give me the turquoise stone, and you can leave."
As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes moved away from Chen Yuan and returned to Mr. Songshi.
Mr. Songshi was greatly worried, and he bowed deeply to Mr. Ji and begged: "Please, ancestor, save this junior's life!"
Ji Laogui's tone turned cold: "Fellow Taoist really want to break up with me?"
After he handed over the Tongtian Order to Patriarch Yuntian, the Golden Scale Fruit issue was settled, but Patriarch Yuntian was still aggressive, just not giving him face.
Patriarch Yuntian said calmly: "I have said that I dislike traitors the most. This person must die. If you want to take action, I will accompany him to the end."
Old ghost Ji laughed angrily: "It seems that Taoist friend has convinced me?"
He raised his right hand, and a purple-black will-o'-the-wisp ignited in his palm. With a flick, the will-o'-the-wisp flew towards Chen Yuan as fast as lightning.
Chen Yuan pulled away and retreated violently, but the purple-black will-o'-the-wisp caught up with him like a gangrene attached to his bones and surrounded him.
Chen Yuan's face was very ugly. The purple will-o'-the-wisp was so fast that he couldn't react and was trapped in the middle.
He did not sit still and wait for death. He ignited Zhu Yan's true fire in his hands and prepared to fight to the death.
But what surprised Chen Yuan was that the purple-black will-o'-the-wisp only surrounded him but did not entangle him.
He raised half of his hand and stopped in the air. Old Ghost Ji glanced at the white flames on his hand, turned his head and said to Patriarch Yuntian: "Fellow Taoist, aren't you afraid that I will kill this junior?"
Ancestor Yuntian smiled slightly and raised his hand to grab it. The water aura between heaven and earth quickly condensed and turned into strands of blue aura, condensing into a fist-sized drop of water.
He raised his sleeve and flicked it, and the water droplets seemed to be slow but urgent. In the blink of an eye, they flew to Wang Lin's side, dispersed, turned into countless light smoke, and wrapped around Wang Lin's body.
Since the arrival of Patriarch Yuntian, Wang Lin has been silent.
At this time, he was restrained by Patriarch Yuntian, and he did not make any move, not even a hint of dodge.
With an indifferent expression, he allowed the light smoke to surround him, as if he had no regard for life and death.
Ji Laogui's expression changed, and Patriarch Yuntian said with a smile: "This boy was originally a casual cultivator. Even if he died in the hands of fellow Taoists, I just lacked one method."
"But if Wang Lin dies, fellow Taoist disciples will probably lose all their money, right?"
Ji Laogui's face was uncertain, and he suddenly raised his hand to grab it, and the purple-black will-o'-the-wisps around Chen Yuan flew back to his palm.
With another flick, the will-o'-the-wisp shot towards Mr. Matsushiki and swelled suddenly!
"Ah!" Mr. Songshi only had time to scream before he was completely engulfed by the purple-black will-o'-the-wisp and turned into ashes.
Ji Laogui finally understood the situation. He could not bear the loss of Wang Lin's death, but Patriarch Yuntian was confident.
The lose-lose situation he expected did not exist, so naturally he did not dare to break up with Patriarch Yuntian.
Ancestor Yuntian smiled slightly and pointed. The mist around Wang Lin slowly dissipated without leaving any trace.
Wang Lin's face was still expressionless, as if he was not the one who had just passed through the gate of hell.
Chen Yuan was not as indifferent as him, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The real fire of Zhu Yan that wrapped his hands slowly dissipated.
Ji Laogui raised his hand and withdrew the purple-black will-o'-the-wisp. He glanced at Wei Changhong and the three monks from the Tianji Sect, and said coldly: "This matter is not allowed to be spread."
The Tianji Sect monk immediately agreed. Wei Changhong glanced at Patriarch Yuntian and saw Patriarch Yuntian nodding slightly before he agreed.
Ancestor Yuntian smiled and said: "Fellow Taoist has made a wise choice. No one wants to see a situation where both sides suffer losses. It is better for each of us to take a step back, and the sea and the sky will be brighter."
Everyone was stunned for a moment, as if they had heard this sentence somewhere...
Ji Laogui snorted coldly: "What a vast world, this shouldn't be what fellow Taoist thought at the beginning, right?"
"If I guessed correctly, you would have known through Song Shi's dealings with our sect, and deliberately let people reveal the information about the Golden Scale Fruit, which led me to send Wang Lin to snatch it."
"At that time, Lu Gui will use the spirit subduing technique again and catch all the monks of our sect in one fell swoop."
Ancestor Yuntian nodded: "Not bad."
"It's a pity that a physical cultivator has appeared, and he is a very powerful physique cultivator." Ji Laogui looked at Chen Yuan, "Speaking of which, I would also like to thank you as a junior. Although I don't know why Fellow Taoist Yuntian wants you to participate in this event." It's okay, but if it weren't for a junior like you, Taoist fellow Yuntian wouldn't use the rat weapon and would definitely go on a killing spree."
Ancestor Yuntian said with a smile: "My fellow Taoist was wrong. It was you who threw the trap into the trap. No matter what, I will not lose."
Ji Laogui snorted coldly, cupped his hands and said, "I missed the move this time. Song Shi is dead. I take my leave."
After that, he turned around and was about to leave, but was stopped by Patriarch Yuntian: "Fellow Taoist, please stay."
Ji Laogui paused and frowned: "Why, Taoist Fellow Yuntian still wants to kill them all?"
Ancestor Yuntian smiled slightly, his lips moved silently, and secretly transmitted a message to Old Ghost Ji.
Ji Laogui's expression changed slightly, and a trace of hesitation flashed in his eyes.
After a while, he nodded: "It's a deal, but one golden scale fruit is too few. I want two."
"Little friend Chen, please give two golden scale fruits to Daoist Ji." Ancestor Yuntian looked at Chen Yuan and said in a very gentle tone.
Chen Yuan immediately took out two golden scale fruits from the mustard seed ring. Ji Laogui raised his hand to grab the two golden scale fruits and put them away.
He bowed his hand to Patriarch Yuntian and said, "I say goodbye. See you later."
He turned around and flew out of the island, followed closely by three Tianji Sect monks.
Wang Lin dissipated his magical power, returned to his original state, and hugged Chen Yuan: "I didn't enjoy this battle to the fullest. If there is a chance in the future, I will fight you again."
After he finished speaking, without waiting for Chen Yuan's response, he turned around and followed him.
After the group of people escaped hundreds of miles, Old Ghost Ji suddenly stopped and raised his hand to grab it. Two golden scale fruits appeared out of thin air and flew slowly towards Wang Lin.
"I've given these two golden scale fruits to you. After you return to the sect, remember to refine them into elixirs to strengthen your body." Old Ghost Ji said calmly.
"Disciple, I respectfully obey my master's orders." Wang Lin took the golden scale fruit and respectfully accepted it.
Ji Laogui looked at the three Tianji Sect monks and said coldly: "Today's events are not allowed to be told outside. Anyone who violates this will be sent to the Valley of Ten Thousand Souls and be punished by a thousand days of soul refining!"
The three of them trembled and immediately responded: "Yes!"
Ji Laogui raised his hand to seal the secret, and two clusters of will-o'-the-wisps flew out of his eyes and merged into one ball.
Jing Shuhan blinked, regained his consciousness, and bowed respectfully: "Disciple pays homage to the master."
Her voice finally returned to normal, clear and moving.
"You should leave the Sea of Ten Thousand Demons as soon as possible. After returning to the sect, check carefully to see who else in the sect knows that Wang Lin is my disciple. Don't miss any one!" Old Ghost Ji's old voice came from the will-o'-the-wisp.
Ji Laogui secretly accepted Wang Lin as his disciple and taught him physical training, but only a few people knew about it.
In order to confuse the public, he even deliberately released the news to make people mistakenly think that Wang Lin was a disciple of Patriarch Kuixing.
However, Patriarch Yuntian actually knew about this and set up a scheme against Wang Lin, which almost succeeded. This shows that there must be an insider from the Zhenhai Sect in the Tianji Sect, and his status is not low.
Jing Shuhan said: "Disciple, I obey."
…
After the Tianjimen group left, only Patriarch Yuntian, Chen Yuan, and Wei Changhong were left on the island.
Patriarch Yuntian looked at Chen Yuan and said warmly: "Young friend Chen, you should be able to tell that I need to lend you some help."
Chen Yuan took a deep breath. Ancestor Yuntian had a conversation with Old Ghost Ji, and mentioned him and Wang Lin many times. He had long seen that he was useful to Ancestor Yuntian, or in other words, his physical training was useful to Ancestor Yuntian.
Even at the beginning of Patriarch Yuntian's arrival, he had already thought of this.
Later, Ji Laogui had a conversation with Patriarch Yuntian, which further verified his idea.
When Lu Gui invited him to join forces, he did not ask him to take the oath of an external demon.
Chen Yuan was persuaded by Lu Gui and did not notice this at the time, but now it seems that this was his intention.
He did not ask Chen Yuan to take the oath of external demon, and naturally he did not ask Mr. Wei Changhong and Mr. Song Shi to take the oath of external demon.
Only in this way can Mr. Songshi reveal the matter and attract Wang Lin.
But Wang Lin is not the real goal of Patriarch Yuntian, Chen Yuan is.
He said in a deep voice: "Senior Yuntian gave this junior a Heavenly Token. It should be that this junior is needed to help in Jueling Island."
Ancestor Yuntian smiled and said: "Yes, I like to cooperate with smart people. It's worth the effort I put in to give you four golden scale fruits."
Chen Yuan's heart trembled: "Could it be that before we entered the Sea of Ten Thousand Demons, senior had already thought of what happened today?"
"It's almost ten, as long as Old Ghost Ji doesn't come here in person, he will fall into the trap, and Xiaoyou Chen can also get four golden scale fruits." Patriarch Yuntian said.
There was a trace of fear in Chen Yuan's eyes: "Senior, you really have a plan. I must have known my whereabouts well after I rented the cave in Sifang Pavilion."
Ancestor Yuntian smiled and said: "You don't need to test it, little friend Chen. I didn't know at first that you were the one who once caused trouble in the Lu family and stole the mysterious body cultivation passed down by old man Dan Jue."
"It was just an accident that Lu Gui met you."
"I originally just wanted to plot against Old Ghost Ji, but after Lu Gui told me about my little friend, I changed my mind."
Chen Yuan said in confusion: "Since the senior needs the junior to contribute on the Jueling Island, why don't you leave me on the Blood Island and wait for the opening of the Jueling Island in two years."
"If Mr. Ji...Senior Ji were here in person, wouldn't the senior's plans be in vain?
Ancestor Yuntian said: "It's very simple, because I want to see with my own eyes whether my little friend meets my requirements, so you must have a fight with Wang Lin."
A chill rose from the bottom of Chen Yuan's heart, and he understood the hidden meaning of Patriarch Yuntian's words.
If he can defeat Wang Lin, or fight to a tie, he will naturally get four golden scale fruits and the Heavenly Token.
But if he loses to Wang Lin, Patriarch Yuntian will naturally not take him seriously, and will not let the Tianji Sect and his party leave.
He would become the victim of Patriarch Yuntian's scheme against Old Ghost Ji, and die together with Wang Lin on this deserted island.
Now he has the qualifications for Ancestor Yuntian to take advantage of him, but he does not have the qualifications to refuse.
"With the abilities of seniors, there should be no place on Jueling Island that can threaten seniors. What can juniors do for seniors?" Chen Yuan asked
Ancestor Yuntian said: "This matter is not urgent. I will know about it when Jueling Island is opened."
"Before that, I need to give the Golden Scale Fruit to me. I also have two body-tempering elixirs in my hand. I will refine them into elixirs and give them to you so that you can strengthen your body."
Chen Yuan's thoughts were racing, but his face showed no signs of it, and he agreed: "Yes."
With a thought in his mind, four golden scale fruits appeared out of thin air and flew towards Ancestor Yuntian.
Wei Changhong saw this scene from the side with a complicated expression.
He was the only Zhenhai Sect monk among the four, but he was kept in the dark the whole time. He had no idea about Patriarch Yuntian's plan, and the Golden Scale Fruit that he was determined to seize was also in vain.
Patriarch Yuntian seemed to understand what Wei Changhong was thinking and said with a smile: "You did a good job. There will be another reward after you return to the sect."
Wei Changhong was overjoyed and put all dissatisfaction behind him: "Thank you, Supreme Elder, for the reward!"
Ancestor Yuntian has always been known in Zhenhai Sect for his fairness in dealing with things, clear rewards and punishments, and has a high prestige. Now that he has spoken, he will never let Wei Changhong suffer.
Ancestor Yuntian put the Golden Scale Fruit into Lu Gui's mustard seed ring and said, "In the next two years, Xiaoyou Chen will not leave the Blood Island to avoid any accidents."
"As for the body-tempering elixir, I will send someone to deliver it to my little friend."
"Yes." Chen Yuan responded.
Ancestor Yuntian raised his hand and grabbed it, and the water energy between heaven and earth condensed and turned into a pool of clear water.
He put two fingers of his right hand together, and the clear water condensed into a line, flew up by itself, and wrapped around his fingertips. He drew a talisman in the air, and the pen moved like a dragon. After a moment, a blue talisman condensed into shape.
This talisman was completely condensed by water spirit energy, but it was surrounded by a faint white color.
Patriarch Yuntian pointed his finger together, and the blue talisman flew towards Chen Yuan.
Chen Yuan's face changed slightly: "What do you mean, senior?"
Patriarch Yuntian said: "Don't worry, my friend, there are still two years before the opening of Jueling Island. Before that, I don't want to see any accidents happen to you."
"This talisman allows you to perform the art of descending spirits once, so that I can descend in your body."
"No cultivator below the Nascent Soul stage will be your opponent."
"Even a cultivator in the early stage of the Nascent Soul stage can resist for a while."
"Please let go of your Dantian, don't resist."
Chen Yuan took a deep breath and took the initiative to let go of his Dantian. The blue talisman slowly merged into it, hanging above the golden elixir, motionless.
He looked inside himself, his consciousness and true essence swept over the blue talisman in turn, but he did not notice anything unusual.
But he knew that this blue talisman was not that simple. It was a death talisman. If he did not follow the instructions of Patriarch Yuntian, he would definitely not have a good ending.
When Patriarch Yuntian saw the talisman enter Chen Yuan's body, he smiled: "You are a smart man, you should know what to do. If you make a mistake, I am afraid that something unpleasant will happen."
"But as long as you can help me in Jueling Island, I will definitely not treat you unfairly."
Chen Yuan's expression eased slightly, and he bowed his hands: "Junior will do his best."
Patriarch Yuntian nodded, slowly closed his eyes, and when he opened his eyes again, the blue pupils had returned to their original state, and his face was blank.
Wei Changhong asked tentatively: "Brother Lu?"
Lü Gui shook his head, his eyes regained clarity, and he bowed his hands and said: "Daoyou Wei, Daoyou Chen, the ancestor's spirit has left."
Wei Changhong breathed a sigh of relief. The ancestor Yuntian was too powerful. Although his words were very gentle, they also made people feel very stressed.
Chen Yuan also felt relieved. His white hair turned back to black. He came to Lu Gui and Wei Changhong.
He bowed his hands and said: "Daoyou, as far as I know, the royal family of monsters will leave their natal Yuan lamps in the family."
"Once these two golden-feathered eagles die, they may attract the investigation of the golden-feathered eagle family at any time. It is not advisable to stay here for a long time."
Lü Gui nodded and said: "Daoyou Chen is right. Let's go now."
After that, he and Wei Changhong drove the escape light and flew out of the island.
Chen Yuan first landed the escape light and put Jin Lei's body into the mustard ring before following.
The two of them were speechless when they saw this scene.
Chen Yuan was favored by the old ancestor Yuntian, and his status was extraordinary. The corpse of a level 7 golden-feathered eagle was not worth their fight.
The three of them were extremely fast, and they had been escaping for thousands of miles. They had consumed most of their true energy before they stopped, recovered their true energy on a deserted island, and set off again.
This time, the three of them were much more relaxed, and even had time to chat.
Wei Changhong asked curiously: "Brother Lu, how did you find out that Song Shi had contact with Tianjimen?"
Lü Gui sighed lightly: "This was told to me by an elder of your sect, and I didn't know about it before."
"If he had stopped at the brink, I could have said a few good words for him in front of the ancestor, but he didn't repent and ended up making a big mistake."
Wei Changhong frowned and said: "I just don't know how he informed the Tianjimen monks of our whereabouts."
"Even if he didn't carry a treasure that could determine the direction, it would have no effect if it was placed in the mustard ring, and the four of us had never separated..."
"The ancient sage classics." Chen Yuan said lightly, "Every time Song Shi recited Confucianism, When reading the ancient sage classics, he would use a brush to annotate on the side. This was his only chance to contact the Tianjimen monks. "
Lü Gui was surprised and glanced at Chen Yuan: "Yes, Song Shi used this method to contact the Tianjimen monks."
"Fellow Daoist Chen is really as clear as seeing fire. If it weren't for the Zhenhai Sect elders' advance reminder, I wouldn't be able to see the clues."
Wei Changhong suddenly realized: "So that's why he would recite the ancient Confucian classics whenever he had free time!"
Chen Yuan smiled: "Chen didn't see that he was contacting the Tianjimen monks, but that was his only chance."
"If he secretly used other means, it would be impossible to hide it from the three of us." (End of this chapter)
