Nine Transformations of the True Spirit

Chen Yuan returned to his residence in Chongde City and waited for only three days before Zhang Wushan came to visit him.

"Isn't one thousand-year-old thunder calamus enough?" Chen Yuan's eyes widened.

Zhang Wushan's face was also gloomy: "Yes, I heard from Master that Elder Gu pointed out in front of all the elders that Brother Chen is a physical cultivator."

"When forming an infant, more spiritual energy is needed, and the power of the heavenly thunder tribulation will be greater. The loss to the spiritual veins will be twice as great as that of other infant-forming cultivators, and it may even damage the mountain gate."

"The offering of one thousand-year-old thunder calamus is not enough to make up for the loss of the sect, and another one must be added."

Chen Yuan frowned: "But I only have one thousand-year-old thunder calamus in my hand, where can I find the second one?"

He has the fourth thousand-year-old thunder calamus in his hand, but he can't take it out at this time.

Previously in Jueling Island, he told Qingliu Jushi that he only had three thousand-year-old thunder calamus in his hand.

If he took out the fourth one, Qingliu Jushi might understand his self-preservation, but he might also be disgusted with him because of it.

Now, Qingliu Layman is his biggest support for borrowing spiritual veins from Haoran Sect, and there must be no mistakes.

Moreover, if he takes out two thousand-year-old thunder calamus at once, combined with the two previously given to Qingliu Layman, it will be too ostentatious, and it is very likely to attract the prying eyes of the Yuanying cultivators of Haoran Sect.

Although three thousand-year-old thunder calamus are not few, with Qingliu Layman as a guarantee, the Yuanying elders of Haoran Sect should not doubt that he has extra thousand-year-old thunder calamus.

Zhang Wushan obviously did not think that Chen Yuan had any thousand-year-old thunder calamus, and sneered: "Thousand-year-old thunder calamus is so precious, Elder Gu must know that you can take out three, which is already extremely rare, he just wants you to give up."

Chen Yuan's expression eased a little: "Can I offer other treasures as an offering?"

He was prepared for Elder Gu's attack. He had fought with Yan Tongchun before, and Elder Gu must know that he was a physical cultivator.

When a physical cultivator forms a fetus, not only does he need to break the pill to form a fetus, but he can also use the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to temper his body and transform himself. He consumes much more spiritual energy than a magic cultivator, so Elder Gu cannot miss this opportunity.

Zhang Wushan said: "Of course, Elder Gu's influence in the sect has been growing over the years, and he has persuaded the elders this time. If Brother Chen only takes out ordinary treasures, it may still be difficult to pass."

"But Brother Chen, don't worry. Master knows that you are preparing for the fetus. It is not easy to take out a thousand-year-old thunder calamus. I am willing to help Brother Chen."

Chen Yuan's heart moved, and he bowed and said: "Senior Qingliu is so kind, please ask Brother Zhang to convey my gratitude to you. I don't know what I need to do to repay you?"

He and Qingliu have some connections, but he will not take out treasures just to help Chen Yuan form a fetus.

Zhang Wushan laughed: "Brother Chen, what are you talking about? Master just saw that Brother Chen is very determined to seek the truth, and he couldn't bear to see Brother Chen being troubled by Elder Gu."

"And Elder Gu's trouble this time is also because Master guaranteed Brother Chen and wanted to compensate him a little."

"Of course, I won't hide it from Brother Chen. Since Elder Gu broke through the bottleneck of the middle stage, Master's situation in the sect has become increasingly difficult."

"He is also optimistic that Brother Chen can form a Yuanying, and hopes that Brother Chen can help him after forming a Yuanying."

Chen Yuan looked surprised: "Senior Qingliu is a Yuanying cultivator for many years. How can I help Senior?"

Zhang Wushan shook his head: "I don't know about this either. Master only said that he would talk to Brother Chen in detail after Brother Chen forms a Yuanying."

Chen Yuan's mind turned, and several guesses emerged in an instant, but he denied them one by one.

He asked, "Brother Zhang, can you tell me why Senior Qingliu and Elder Gu have such a deep conflict?"

Zhang Wushan sighed, "To be honest, Brother Chen, I have asked Master about this, but Master did not say it clearly, so I did not ask more."

"But I once heard a senior uncle accidentally mention that Master and Elder Gu had a very good relationship hundreds of years ago, as close as brothers."

"But later, for some unknown reason, the two turned against each other. I think it should be some unknown old grudges..."

He spoke vaguely, but his face looked a little strange. Chen Yuan was very curious, but he did not dare to ask any more.

Could it be that Qingliu and Elder Gu had hatred because of love?

I wonder what kind of stunning woman could make two Yuanying elders of Haoran Sect jealous...

Chen Yuan suppressed his wild thoughts and said, "I appreciate Senior Qingliu's kindness, but I am already grateful that Senior Qingliu is willing to guarantee me. How can I ask for more?"

"I accidentally got a piece of top-grade spiritual stone in my early years. I am willing to offer it to your sect as an offering."

As he said, he took out a piece of top-grade spiritual stone from the mustard seed ring and handed it to Zhang Wushan.

He then said seriously, "As for the matter of helping, don't mention it again. Senior Qingliu saved my life and guaranteed me to borrow a spiritual vein. If I succeed in forming a baby, I will naturally repay Senior Qingliu's kindness without hesitation."

Zhang Wushan saw Chen Yuan take out the top-grade spiritual stone, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes. When he heard this, he couldn't help but smile.

He took the spirit stone and said, "I will give it to Master right now. With this, I should be able to shut up Elder Gu."

Top-grade spirit stones have a wide range of uses, and can be used to refine tools, make pills, and set up formations.

Some Nascent Soul cultivators do not have pills in their hands, and cannot endure the slow speed of cultivation, so they directly absorb the spiritual energy from the top-grade spirit stones to cultivate.

In the market, one top-grade spirit stone can be exchanged for 500 high-grade spirit stones, but in fact, there is no market for it.

Even if you take out 600 high-grade spirit stones, you may not be able to exchange for one top-grade spirit stone.

Zhang Wushan took the top-grade spirit stone and returned to the mountain gate. Chen Yuan stayed in Chongde City. He was bored and wandered around the market, continuing to look for the Qi-refining cultivator who sold the broken tablet, but still had no harvest.

This person may have left Chongde City, or died in a remote corner and never appeared in the market again.

Another three days passed, and Zhang Wushan came to Chen Yuan's residence again.

"A thousand-year-old thunder calamus, plus a top-grade spirit stone, is still not enough?" Chen Yuan's face was very ugly, and his voice was very low.

Zhang Wushan brought bad news. Elder Gu believed that Chen Yuan, as a physical cultivator, had a great loss of the Haoran Sect's spirit veins when he formed a baby. At least within ten years, it would be impossible for the outer sect cultivators to form a baby.

And lending the spirit veins to the outer sect cultivators to form a baby is an important means for the Haoran Sect to cultivate confidants and control Renzhou.

Chen Yuan is just a casual cultivator from another state, with no sect or family behind him, and little influence in Renzhou. If he wants to use the spirit vein to form a baby, he must give out some more treasures to make up for the loss of Haoran Sect.

"In the past, those who used your sect's spirit vein to form a baby, have they all succeeded and become your sect's vassal?" Chen Yuan asked.

Zhang Wushan said with a sullen face: "Brother Chen, calm down. Of course I know that what Elder Gu said is just specious."

"It is so difficult to form a fetus. In the past, nine out of ten Jindan cultivators who borrowed our sect's spiritual veins to form a fetus were dying and fighting to the death."

"They couldn't even survive the Yin Fire Tribulation, and they were seriously injured and died. Only one or two could form a Nascent Soul."

"But regardless of success or failure, the sects and families behind these cultivators owed our sect a favor."

"Over time, half of the sects and families in Renzhou only follow our sect's lead.

"And Daoyou is just a casual cultivator. The elders can't help but have some concerns. They are worried that Daoyou will fail to form a fetus and just... just die. The source of the spiritual vein will be greatly damaged and it will be difficult to make up for the loss."

"At least two top-grade spirit stones are needed before we agree to lend the spiritual vein to Daoyou."

"Master argued with reason, but more elders supported Elder Gu, and he failed in the end. "

Chen Yuan narrowed his eyes, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he deeply remembered the elder Gu whom he had never met.

He said: "I know the difficulties of Senior Qingliu. Please pass these two top-grade spirit stones to Senior Qingliu on my behalf, Brother Zhang."

After that, Chen Yuan took out two top-grade spirit stones from the mustard seed ring and handed them over.

Zhang Wushan was very surprised to see Chen Yuan casually take out two more top-grade spirit stones.

Chen Yuan's wealth was so rich. You must know that even many cultivators who had just entered the Nascent Soul stage could not take out three top-grade spirit stones.

Zhang Wushan took the spirit stone, put it into the mustard seed ring, and said solemnly: "Brother Chen, don't worry, with a thousand-year-old thunder calamus and three top-grade spirit stones, Elder Gu will definitely not be able to interfere! ”

…

Chongde Mountains, Haoran Peak.

The Qi-refining cultivators of Haoran Sect have never climbed the halfway point of this towering peak. If they enter the thick spiritual mist, they will certainly be disappointed.

There are no immortal platforms and pavilions, auspicious birds and beasts in the spiritual mist, but like other peaks in the mountain gate, there are scattered spiritual medicine gardens.

But the difference is that Haoran Peak is the source of the giant spiritual vein, and the spiritual energy is the most concentrated. The spiritual herbs cultivated in these spiritual medicine gardens are at least more than 500 years old and absorb a lot of spiritual energy. In order not to interfere with each other, they are quite far apart.

Go up the mountain steps until two thousand feet, and finally appear A large hall loomed in the mist, ethereal and unpredictable.

At this moment, in this hall, eleven cultivators sat cross-legged on the futon, divided into left and right, several feet apart, sitting opposite each other.

Qingliu and Elder Gu were among them, and the other nine people who could sit with them were obviously also Yuanying cultivators.

These were all the elders in Haoran Sect, except those who were practicing in seclusion or traveling outside, who were discussing Chen Yuan's use of the spirit vein to form a baby.

There were four wooden boxes hanging in front of Qingliu. He said in a deep voice: "Chen Yuan is willing to take out a thousand-year-old thunder calamus and three top-grade spirit stones, which are enough to make up for the loss of the spirit vein in the sect. Do you have any opinions, elders? "

Everyone was silent, and their eyes looking at the thousand-year-old thunder amulet and the top-grade spirit stone showed some eagerness.

Some people needed the thousand-year-old thunder amulet to help their children form infants, and some people wanted top-grade spirit stones. What Chen Yuan took out was very much to the taste of the elders.

Elder Gu also said nothing, his eyes drooped, his expression was calm, and he seemed indifferent to the matter. No one could have imagined that he had rejected it twice.

Mr. Qingliu looked around, and his eyes finally fell on Elder Gu, and said in a deep voice: "Since no one has raised any objections, let's discuss what tasks should be issued to Chen Yuan. What ideas do the elders have, please feel free to speak freely." (End of this chapter)
