Nine Transformations of the True Spirit

Li Qingshan put down the Taoist scriptures in his hand and asked: "Master, what is the difference between these methods?"

After studying the Taoist scriptures for a year, he became much calmer. Although he was still dressed in rough linen clothes, he had a free and easy temperament. He did not look like an Orion boy, but rather like an elegant scholar who had read poetry and books.

Even though he knew that he could finally embark on the path of cultivating immortality that he had dreamed of, he was not too excited.

Chen Yuandao: "The Five Elements Method is the two methods of gold and water. I have two magical powers, "Canglang Song" and "Golden Tips" in my hands. Both can be practiced to the Nascent Soul stage. You can choose one and practice it first." After establishing the basic method, you can start practicing.”

"The body cultivation technique is a kind of magic technique called "The Demonic Art of the Underworld". It can be practiced to the late stage of Yuanying. The "Devilic Art of the Underworld" in the hands of my master is somewhat incomplete, so it can only be practiced to the early stage of Yuanying. But it’s enough for you to practice.”

"The sword cultivation technique was acquired from a powerful enemy. It is called "Green Lotus Sword Technique". It can only be practiced to the middle stage of pill formation. However, sword cultivation is the strongest and there are few rivals among monks of the same level..."

He introduced several techniques in detail, and took out the jade slips for Li Qingshan to check for himself.

"Canglang Song" and "Underworld Demonic Skill" were both obtained from Ji Laogui. There is also a magical skill, but the training conditions are harsh and Li Qingshan cannot get started.

"The Golden Technique" is a golden technique that Chen Yuan obtained from Lu Gui. It can be practiced to the early stage of Yuanying. It should be a family inheritance technique of the Lu family.

These are the several techniques in Chen Yuan's hands that are most suitable for Li Qingshan's practice. Chen Yuan listed them all for him to choose from.

Everyone has his own path. Li Qingshan has read Taoist scriptures for a year and has a preliminary understanding of practicing Taoism. Chen Yuan will not make the choice for him.

Li Qingshan picked up several jade slips, looked at them one by one, and first put aside the "Underworld Demonic Art".

This magical power is extremely powerful, but the incomplete version can be cultivated to the early stage of Yuanying, and can condense the demonic body of the underworld. The method of condensing demonic energy into objects is an extremely powerful magical power.

After the birth of a baby, this magic skill can truly exert its power. Wang Lin has only scratched the surface of his cultivation and can become famous in Yu Qinghai.

However, practicing the "Underworld Demonic Art" requires going through countless killings and condensing demonic energy, which is not in line with Li Qingshan's temperament.

"The Golden Touch" was relatively mediocre and was quickly abandoned by Li Qingshan.

He looked at "Canglang Song" and "Qinglian Sword Art" and fell into hesitation.

Chen Yuan said nothing, quietly waiting for Li Qingshan to make his choice.

After a long time, Li Qingshan took a deep breath and picked up the "Qinglian Sword Art": "Master, this disciple wants to take the path of sword cultivation!"

Chen Yuan reminded: "Have you thought about it? Sword cultivation does not focus on qualifications. It only depends on whether the monk has a clear sword heart. You must have a perseverance that would rather break than bend before you can embark on the path of sword cultivation."

"Furthermore, sword cultivation techniques are rare. This "Green Lotus Sword Technique" can only be practiced to the middle stage of pill formation. If you want to change the technique in the future, it will be very difficult."

Li Qingshan said: "Disciple understands, but when I listened to Master telling stories before, I was fascinated by sword cultivation. I wish to travel all over the Nine Immortals Continent with a sword!"

Chen Yuan said: "Since you have this ambition, my master will find you a sword embryo. But if you can't refine this transparent sword heart, you will have to revise "Canglang Song"."

Li Qingshan bowed deeply: "Thank you Master for giving me the Dharma. I will definitely do my best!"

"You should first understand the sword art on your own, and then come back as soon as you go as a master." Chen Yuan stood up, rolled up the light, flew into the air, and disappeared into the horizon.

From the beginning of sword practice, sword cultivators need to communicate with Feijian's heart and soul and cultivate a transparent sword heart.

However, the flying sword used by the sword cultivator is very special. It is not refined by a weapon refiner like ordinary magic weapons. Instead, the sword cultivator needs to start from the sword embryo and cultivate it by himself.

Two hours later, Chen Yuan came to Jinshanfang City and fell into hiding.

He walked through several weapon refining shops, bought some low-grade spiritual materials, and then turned around.

The sword embryo requires a lot of spiritual materials, and they are quite rare among low-grade spiritual materials. They are expensive for Qi Refining monks, but naturally they are nothing to Chen Yuan.

Originally, his best choice was to go to Baibao Pavilion, where he could easily buy all the spiritual materials.

But he claimed to be a Hengzhou monk in front of Pei Song, and he came to Renzhou just for a tour. He didn't want him to know that he had accepted a sword cultivator disciple in Renzhou and would stay nearby for a long time.

After returning to Qingshan Village, Chen Yuan melted the spiritual material with real fire according to the records in "Qinglian Sword Jue" and mixed them together to form a colorful sword embryo.

This step does not require the removal of impurities in the spiritual materials, and there is no risk of failure. Any foundation-building monk can complete it.

Chen Yuan then handed the sword embryo to Li Qingshan, and asked Li Qingshan to practice his luck and interact with the sword embryo day and night according to the method in "Qinglian Sword Art" to cultivate a clear sword heart.

The spiritual materials used in the sword embryo all contain a trace of evil spirit, which will put great pressure on the soul.

If Li Qingshan is determined enough to resist the erosion of this evil spirit, and uses his magic power to polish the sword embryo day and night, and after breaking through the middle stage of Qi refining, polish the sword embryo into a flying sword, he can embark on the path of sword cultivation.

If this step fails, he will have no choice but to switch to other techniques, and his mind will be severely damaged due to evil spirits entering his body day and night.

This is sword cultivation, and it is so difficult to get started. If you want to achieve something, you must have a sword heart that would rather break than bend, and never turn back, to move forward indomitably and break through all obstacles.

Chen Yuan didn't know if Li Qingshan could succeed, but with him here, even if Li Qingshan failed, his soul would not be too severely damaged, but he would just waste a few years and then switch to the Five Elements Basic Technique.

Li Qingshan has studied the "Blue Lotus Sword Art" carefully in the past two days, and he also knows the dangers of the sword cultivation path. When he took over the sword embryo, his expression was serious.

Chen Yuan asked him to go home and tell Li Dalong and his wife, and then took him back to the cave to meditate and practice in the side room. If the evil spirit enters the body, he can help at any time.

Li Qingshan has extraordinary talent. After only three days, he cultivated the first ray of magic power. From then on, he did not eat grains, ate wind and drank dew, and was no longer an ordinary person.

Chen Yuan never practiced, but there was always a ray of consciousness lingering on Li Qingshan.

He held the sword embryo in his hand, closed his eyes and meditated. After a month, he never changed his face and quietly absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

Chen Yuan was relieved, and still left a ray of consciousness on him. He meditated and entered a state of concentration. His mind was clear, and he took out a pill and swallowed it into his stomach.

The pill turned into a huge spiritual energy. Chen Yuan practiced the technique. This huge spiritual energy flowed through the meridians, becoming more and more pure, and finally entered the Dantian. His long-stagnant cultivation slowly increased.

Chen Yuan slowly opened his eyes, raised his hand, and another pill flew out of the jade bottle and fell into his mouth.

He closed his eyes and meditated, and his spiritual energy surged around him. The stone room was silent and dim, and time seemed to have frozen.

There are no years in the mountains, and the years of cultivation are unknown. In a flash, ten years have passed.

On this day, heavy snow fell, as light as feathers, dancing in the mountains, dressing the mountains and forests in silver.

The cold wind shuttled through the forest, the green pines swayed in the wind, the pine branches were covered with thick snow, and they were still upright. The streams in the valley were covered with ice and snow.

Snow peaks stood tall, snow and wind raged, and the world was vast. Suddenly, a figure cut through the dark sky and shuttled through the heavy snow.

This was a young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, wearing a black long gown, his clothes rustling, and his long hair was not tied up, draped over his shoulders, fluttering in the wind.

In front of him was a silver flying sword, which released a sword light and wrapped him up. He fled at a very fast speed, leaving a burst of hearty laughter wherever he passed, scattered in the mountains.

After a while, the sword light of the flying sword slowly dimmed, and the young man's figure turned, flew for a while, and landed on a steep mountain.

Two stone doors on the mountainside were closed, and in front of the door was a flat ground, also covered with heavy snow, and two green pines stood proudly in the wind and snow.

The young man put the flying sword into the storage bag on his waist, took out a hair crown, tied up the long hair on his shoulders, stood with his hands down, and looked respectful. Snowflakes fell on him and melted away silently without leaving any trace.

A quarter of an hour later, the stone door slowly opened, and a figure slowly walked out. He looked at the young man and praised: "Not bad, Qi Refining Level 7, from today on, you finally have the power to protect yourself."

This person was dressed in a white gown, tall and straight, with sword eyebrows and star eyes, and a noble temperament. It was Chen Yuan who had been in seclusion for ten years.

The young man who came on the sword, that is, his apprentice Li Qingshan, compared with ten years ago, no longer had a trace of immaturity on his face. He had a handsome appearance and a calm expression.

He grinned and bowed: "Thanks to Master's earnest teachings, I was able to break through the bottleneck of the late stage."

Chen Yuan shook his head and laughed: "Master has been practicing in seclusion for these years. You can achieve today's cultivation because of your own diligence."

"But Master did not expect that you are so talented in sword cultivation. It is rare to be able to cultivate to this level in just ten years."

"But the road is endless, don't slack off, don't be arrogant, and waste this hard-earned talent."

At the end, his expression became solemn and his voice became much more severe.

Li Qingshan said solemnly: "Master, rest assured. I was born in a humble family. It is a great opportunity for me to embark on the path of cultivation. I will never relax at all!"

Chen Yuan nodded slightly: "It's good that you know, but the way of cultivation also requires relaxation. Don't meditate in seclusion for the next three days."

"Master will go home with you. If you have any questions about cultivation, just ask them and I will answer them for you."

Li Qingshan was stunned for a moment before he agreed: "Yes!"

In the past ten years, every year, Chen Yuan would take a few days to answer his questions about cultivation.

Today is the time to answer questions again, and he happened to break through the bottleneck of the late stage and could fly with a sword. Excited, he broke through the wind and snow and came to Chen Yuan's cave, waiting quietly.

But he didn't expect that Chen Yuan would actually visit his home, and he was quite surprised.

In the past ten years, Chen Yuan has never left the cave.

Chen Yuan raised his sleeves and a beam of light swept up Li Qingshan. The two flew into the air and soon crossed 20 miles to the Li family.

Compared to ten years ago, the Li family has completely changed. (End of this chapter)
