Nine Transformations of the True Spirit

Chen Yuan suppressed all the thoughts in his mind and picked up the black tortoise shell.

He stimulated Zhu Yan's true blood, and his black hair turned snow-white. A thin layer of white flames appeared on his hands, condensing into a pair of flame gloves.

The next moment, Zhu Yan's true fire poured into the tortoise shell, erasing all the remaining spiritual imprints in it.

The spiritual imprint in the black tortoise shell was extremely condensed, much more stubborn than the Feiyun Sword that Chen Yuan had obtained before, but under the burning of Zhu Yan's true fire, it disappeared in an instant.

This magic weapon was definitely not something that Yun Tian Patriarch often used, otherwise even with Zhu Yan's true fire, it would take some effort to erase the spiritual imprint.

This black tortoise shell should be a magic weapon of other Yuanying cultivators, but it fell into the hands of Yun Tian Patriarch, most of which were more dangerous than good.

Chen Yuan took back Zhu Yan's true fire, injected true essence into the black tortoise shell, and began to sacrifice this magic weapon.

The black tortoise shell slowly grew to three feet in size, and the mottled lines slowly lit up, crisscrossing.

After a long time, Chen Yuan's true essence was mostly consumed, and he finally finished refining the magic weapon.

The light in the lines on the back of the tortoise shell slowly rose, condensing into a shadow of the Yuan Crocodile, and a long roar sounded faintly in the void.

"Since it is made of the back shell of the transformed Yuan Crocodile, I will call you Yuan Crocodile Armor..."

Chen Yuan retracted his true essence, and the Yuan Crocodile shadow slowly dissipated. The lines on the back of the tortoise shell dimmed again, shrank to the size of a palm, and disappeared.

This magic weapon has been initially refined, and after another month of warming in the Dantian, it can be used freely in the battle.

Thanks to the Zhuyan True Fire, he was able to erase the remaining spiritual imprint in the tortoise shell so quickly without wasting time and effort to slowly wear it away.

Among the three defensive magic weapons that Patriarch Yuntian brought out, the spiritual energy contained in this black tortoise shell was not the most concentrated, but it was the most pure, and Chen Yuan took a fancy to it at first sight.

Yuan crocodile is a very rare monster with a long lifespan, fierce personality, and extremely strong defensive ability, comparable to the dragon turtle of the same level.

Yuan crocodile armor is made from a whole piece of Yuan crocodile's back shell. It is very hard and can easily resist the attack of mid-level magic weapons, and even high-level magic weapons can resist one or two.

After Chen Yuan finished the sacrifice, the shadow of Yuan crocodile appeared on its back, indicating that this treasure has nurtured a trace of spirituality.

After nurturing for a while, when this trace of spirituality is strengthened, adding several high-quality spiritual materials, there is a chance to upgrade it to a high-level magic weapon.

However, this period of time may be extremely long, and the spirituality of the magic weapon is the most difficult to increase. It can only be placed in the dantian, nurtured with the essence of the soul in the golden elixir, or adding treasures that can enhance spirituality.

But all these spiritual objects are rare treasures, and it is impossible to use them on a mid-level magic weapon.

The spirituality in the Yuanluo armor is very weak. It will take at least hundreds of years to be nurtured before it has the opportunity to be upgraded to a high-level magic weapon. Don't consider it in a short time.

...

After Chen Yuan put away the Yuanluo armor, he meditated and practiced, absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

When his true energy was fully restored, he took out an hourglass, turned it upside down beside him, and then opened the jade bottle containing the Golden Scale Pill, poured out a pill, and swallowed it.

The Golden Scale Pill is just a refinement of the Golden Scale Fruit, and there is no difference in essence from the Golden Scale Fruit.

After entering the mouth, it immediately turned into a huge spiritual energy and poured into Chen Yuan's meridians.

The Golden Scale Fruit is not yet fully mature, and the medicinal power is not violent enough. Chen Yuan can easily control this huge spiritual energy, operate the exercises, and guide the spiritual energy to slowly wander in the meridians.

Unlike the ordinary spiritual energy of heaven and earth, this spiritual energy did not enter the Dantian after circulating for thirty-six cycles, but gradually penetrated into Chen Yuan's body.

Chen Yuan felt as if he was in a furnace, being roasted by the fire, and his whole body was hot.

All 36,000 pores on his body opened up, and strands of gray-black streams seeped out, emitting a very faint fishy smell.

These were the impurities contained in his body, which were forced out by the medicinal power of the Golden Scale Fruit when he was cutting bones and washing marrow.

Chen Yuan's robes were engraved with the Dust Removal Technique, which started to operate automatically at this moment, and the impurities that seeped out of the pores dissipated by themselves without leaving any traces.

This feeling of being in the fire lasted for a long time before slowly subsiding.

Chen Yuan opened his eyes and looked at the hourglass beside him. Ten grains of fine sand fell from the bottom.

It took ten days to refine this Golden Scale Pill.

At his current state, he could clearly feel the improvement of his physical body without any experiment. He was one step closer to becoming a level 7 demon beast, and his strength had also increased a lot.

Chen Yuan smiled. The Golden Scale Fruit was indeed worthy of its reputation. It was not yet fully mature, but its medicinal power was so strong.

This bottle of Golden Scale Pills was enough to help him break through the bottleneck of level 7.

But he did not rush to take the second Golden Scale Pill, but got up and walked out of the cave.

Today was the time to draw starlight into the body again, and it could not be wasted.

It was exactly midnight, with no clouds in the sky and bright stars.

Chen Yuan took out the jade pendant, drew the power of the Zhoutian stars, and tempered his physical body.

After thirty breaths, his true essence was consumed, his physical body was strengthened by one point, and his strength also increased a little.

Chen Yuan put away the jade pendant, returned to the practice room, sat cross-legged and meditated, absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

The effect of a single infusion of starlight is far less than that of the Golden Scale Pill, but it is more stable. No matter how strong the body is, it will not weaken in the slightest. It is the foundation of Chen Yuan's true enlightenment, and he must not slack off in the slightest.

After his true essence was fully restored, he took another Golden Scale Pill, silently practicing the technique to temper his body.

Two and a half months later, Chen Yuan had refined all seven Golden Scale Pills in a bottle. His physical body was greatly improved and his strength increased greatly. Compared with the seventh-level monster beast, he was not inferior at all.

He took out another bottle of Dragon Snake Pill and swallowed it.

The medicinal power of Dragon Snake Pill was much more violent than that of Golden Scale Pill, but Chen Yuan's physical body was strong enough to withstand it.

This kind of pill was originally used by Yuanying cultivators to temper their physical bodies. Under Yuanying, only physical cultivators and monsters could withstand such overbearing medicinal power.

It took a few days longer to refine Dragon Snake Pill than Golden Scale Pill. Three months later, Chen Yuan finally refined all six Dragon Snake Pills.

His physical body was strengthened again, and his strength increased by half, comparable to that of the monster beast royal family with pure blood.

The monster beast royal family with impure blood like Jin Yu and Jin Lei can also be considered strong, but they are only slightly better than ordinary seventh-level monster beasts. Their strength is mainly reflected in their innate magical powers.

The golden feather eagle with pure blood not only has amazing magical powers, but also has a much stronger body than ordinary monsters.

Before, when he stimulated Zhu Yan's true blood, his body had such strength. Now his body has been greatly improved. If he stimulates Zhu Yan's true blood again, I wonder how much stronger his body will be.

With a thought, his black hair turned snow-white, and Zhu Yan's true fire appeared in his hands. He carefully felt the changes in his body in this state.

After his body was greatly strengthened, the power contained in Zhu Yan's true blood was further stimulated.

His huge strength doubled, almost reaching the limit of a level 7 monster.

According to legend, Zhu Yan's true body is comparable to a mountain, with infinite power and the power to pick stars and take the moon. Chen Yuan finally had a hint of Zhu Yan's style at this time.

In addition to the great strengthening of his body, the power of Zhu Yan's true fire has also increased by at least one time. According to Chen Yuan's guess, even against a Yuanying cultivator, it should have some effect.

He raised his right hand and placed it on the Dantian acupoint, and Zhu Yan's true fire poured into the Dantian.

Previously, Zhuyan True Fire could not destroy the blue talisman. Now that the power of the true fire has increased, Chen Yuan wants to try again.

Under the burning of the true fire, the blue talisman shines brightly as last time.

The shadow of the old man Yuntian appears again, much clearer than before, and no different from the real person.

Seeing that the soul of the old man Yuntian is about to wake up, Chen Yuan can only take back the Zhuyan True Fire, and the blue talisman will return to calm.

This attempt still failed, but Chen Yuan was not discouraged, but relieved.

When the old man Yuntian visited, he reinforced the blue talisman again. This was the work of a cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul. It was extremely difficult for the Zhuyan True Fire to achieve the same result.

If his physical body is improved a little more, the power of the Zhuyan True Fire will be strengthened again, and it should be able to directly dissolve the blue talisman.

Chen Yuan was very excited, put down his right hand, and the true fire in both hands was suppressed. His white hair turned black again, and he meditated to practice and restore his true essence.

The power of stimulating Zhu Yan's true blood has been greatly improved, but the consumption of true essence has also increased. In just a few dozen breaths, he has consumed nearly half of his true essence.

With all his strength, he can only maintain a hundred breaths at most. If he does not use Zhu Yan's true fire, it can be extended to two hundred breaths.

This is the disadvantage of the cultivation level lagging behind the physical body. Just like when Chen Yuan was still a warrior, he used a long sword. The heavier the long sword, the stronger its power, but if his strength does not increase, the less time he can last.

This is also a happy trouble. Ordinary physical cultivators will not encounter this problem at all.

They can only use spiritual energy to temper their physical bodies, and the progress is slow. They have to spend a lot of effort to get a body-tempering spiritual medicine.

Chen Yuan has Yu Jue in his hand, which can lead the power of the Zhoutian stars to temper his physical body. His cultivation level is always one step behind his physical body.

After the two finally equalized, he met the old ancestor Yuntian again, and took two bottles of extremely precious body-tempering pills in succession, one of which was a dragon snake pill that a Jindan cultivator could not get, so that his physical body could be greatly improved.

These are opportunities that other physical cultivators dream of, and the minor drawbacks that come with them are not worth mentioning at all.

…

After refining two bottles of body-hardening pills, Chen Yuan began to practice in seclusion, absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and half a year passed quickly.

One day, he was meditating and practicing, and was awakened from his trance by a sound transmission note.

He got up and went to the reception room, grabbed the sound transmission note and saw that it was Wei Changhong who came to visit.

Chen Yuan immediately lifted the formation and walked out of the cave to greet him.

After the two of them greeted each other, they walked into the cave and sat down as host and guest.

Chen Yuan served a pot of spiritual tea, and Wei Changhong said straight to the point: "Fellow Daoist Chen, I am returning to Blood Island this time. In addition to continuing to be in charge of the Sifang Pavilion, I am also ordered by the Supreme Elder to give you something."

He raised his sleeves and flicked, and a wooden box with a sealing talisman attached to it appeared on the stone table.

The sealing talisman is a special talisman that has the effect of sealing spiritual energy and is usually used to preserve some precious spiritual objects.

But in addition to this, the Soul Sealing Talisman has another feature. Once it is removed, the sealed object will be stained with a trace of pure spiritual energy, which will not dissipate for a long time.

The cultivators use this feature of the Soul Sealing Talisman to pass on some secret things. If someone removes it in the middle, it will be discovered soon afterwards.

Chen Yuan's heart moved, and he recalled the words of the ancestor Yuntian, and he had a guess in his mind.

He put away the wooden box and bowed, saying: "I trouble you to make this trip, Senior Yuntian, what else do you want?"

Wei Changhong shook his head and said: "The Supreme Elder just asked me to give this wooden box to you."

The two exchanged a few more words, and he stood up and said goodbye.

Chen Yuan opened the cave formation, returned to the practice room, took out the wooden box, and opened the Soul Sealing Talisman.

He opened the lid of the box, and as he had guessed just now, there was a jade slip inside.

Ancestor Yuntian said that he would send someone to deliver the body cultivation magic power. When Wei Changhong took out the wooden box, Chen Yuan thought of this.

Ancestor Yuntian also took away Binghuan, but it would take a long time for Binghuan to upgrade from a low-level magic weapon to a mid-level magic weapon. One year is definitely not enough.

He picked up the jade slip, probed into it with his spiritual sense, and examined it carefully.

After a long time, Chen Yuan withdrew his spiritual sense, looking a little stunned.

The jade slip recorded three body cultivation magic powers, all of which are very suitable for Dan body cultivation.

The first magic power is called "Burning Blood Refining Yuan Jue". After performing it, it can burn the essence and blood of the monsters that have been cultivated in the body, greatly strengthening the physical body.

This method has great disadvantages. The burned essence and blood will disappear forever. In severe cases, there is even the possibility of falling in realm. It is far inferior to the method of stimulating true blood recorded in "Nine Transformations of the True Spirit", which is not adopted by Chen Yuan.

The second magical power is called "Demon Blade Technique", which is a transformation technique. It requires refining a trace of pure true demon energy. When fighting with others, one arm can be transformed into a demon blade, which is extremely sharp and can cut through mid-level magic weapons.

This magical power is amazing, but it is also very useless.

The true demon energy is a demon spirit left over from ancient times. Even Yuanying cultivators regard it as a treasure. Even if Chen Yuan gets it, he can't use it to practice this technique.

Only the last magical power is useful to Chen Yuan.

This is an unnamed magical power. After it is used, it can greatly strengthen the body and increase strength.

This technique is based on the cultivator's body. The stronger the body, the better the effect.

When Chen Yuan saw the unnamed magical power, he felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

As he watched this technique from beginning to end, he finally realized that this technique was similar to the "Giant Spirit Body" secret technique he had practiced before.

The formulas and key points of the Giant Spirit Body Secret Art emerged in his mind. After comparing the two, he found that there were indeed many similarities between the two magical arts, and even a few formulas were exactly the same.

Moreover, the effects of the Nameless Magical Power and the Giant Spirit Body are almost the same, both of which strengthen the body and increase strength.

After performing the Giant Spirit Body, the cultivator's body will grow to about nine feet tall, and the body surface will turn bronze.

After performing the Nameless Magical Power, the cultivator's body will grow to about ten feet tall, and the body surface will turn silver-white.

Crossing two continents, but seeing two such similar magical powers, Chen Yuan was surprised.

However, he quickly calmed down. Since Donghuazhou has an ancient teleportation array connected to Jiuxianzhou, there may be other ways of communication, which led to the mutual spread of magical powers.

But these two magical arts seem to have the same origin. At the end of the Nameless Magical Power, like the Giant Spirit Body, there is a feeling of wanting more.

Could it be that there is another magical power suitable for Yuanying body cultivation, which can also make the cultivator's body bigger and strengthen the body? (End of this chapter)
