Nine Transformations of the True Spirit

Qingliu layman looked around, but no one spoke.

Everyone had their eyes slightly lowered and said nothing, as if the matter had nothing to do with them.

After two discussions, everyone knew that this was a battle between Master Qingliu and Elder Gu, and neither of them wanted to easily participate in it.

Only the two old men beside Master Qingliu and the two Nascent Soul elders beside Elder Gu had gleaming eyes, looking at each other, and even the air became stagnant.

An old man on the left side of Qingliu layman spoke first: "In my opinion, the offering Chen Yuan presented is extremely rare and valuable, so the task should not be too difficult."

"How about selecting a rebellious murderer from the eleventh or later from the wanted list in the door and letting him kill him?"

He is Mr. Chengli. He has always been on good terms with the layman Qingliu. He has studied Confucianism and Taoism intensively and is a well-known Confucian scholar in Renzhou.

It's just that he has poor qualifications and is not a true disciple. He practiced hard and spent more than 470 years before finally raising his cultivation to the realm of false babies, but there was no hope of conceiving a baby.

He is not an exceptionally talented alchemy master, weapon refining master, or formation master, and the Haoran Sect will not use the Tribulation Thunder Pill on him.

Mr. Chengli was unwilling to give up, not because his life was about to end, but because he could no longer study Confucianism and Taoism.

Just when he was disheartened, layman Qingliu took out a calamity thunder pill to help him survive the thunder calamity and successfully conceive a baby.

After taking the Tribulation Thunder Pill, his strength was only at the bottom among the Yuanying monks, and he had no hope of breaking through the mid-term bottleneck in his life.

But with an extra five hundred years to live, he could continue to write books and commentaries, and he was satisfied.

Later, he learned from layman Qingliu that the Thousand-Year Thunder Tablet for refining the Tribulation Thunder Pill was a gift from Chen Yuan, so he naturally wanted to help Chen Yuan in this matter.

Mr. Chengli is a well-known scholar. Although he gave birth to a child not long ago, he has been in charge of Chongde Academy for many years and is quite famous in the Haoran Sect.

As soon as this statement came out, two elders immediately agreed.

But at this moment, a middle-aged Confucian scholar next to Elder Gu retorted: "I think there is something wrong with what Elder Chengli said."

"The criminals on the wanted list are all extremely vicious, cunning and rebellious people, and are good at hiding."

"This sect has been pursuing this person for many years, but has never been able to capture and kill him. Many of the deacons of the Pill Formation have even died at the hands of these villains."

"This little friend Chen is sincere in his heart. He is willing to offer up treasures such as the Thousand-Year Thunder Tablet in order to use his spiritual veins to conceive a baby. How can we give him such an extremely dangerous task and waste our time?"

Everyone was stunned when they heard this.

This middle-aged Confucian scholar is named Yang Liqian, and he has always been on good terms with Elder Gu.

In the previous two meetings, he strongly opposed lending his spiritual veins to Chen Yuan. Why did he suddenly change his mind and change his mind to speak for Chen Yuan?

Another old man on the right side of layman Qingliu said coldly: "Then what does Elder Yang have to say?"

He is a Sanren of Xinzhai and a great Confucian who is famous in Renzhou.

But compared with the indifferent and easy-going Mr. Chengli, he pays attention to informality and acts spontaneously, and never hides his likes, dislikes, joys and anger.

Yang Liqian smiled and said: "Yang thought that since the treasure that this little friend Chen took out was so precious, we shouldn't embarrass him in the task and arrange a task for him without risking it."

"Lest Chen Xiaoyou travel all over the Nine Immortals Continent and deal with those extremely vicious people, wouldn't it be a pity if he accidentally loses his life?"

Master Qingliu finally spoke: "In Elder Yang's opinion, what tasks should be assigned to Chen Yuan?"

Yang Liqian did not answer, but looked at Elder Gu beside him.

Ever since Master Qingliu took out the four wooden boxes, Elder Gu has been sitting quietly on the futon, with his head slightly lowered and his expression indifferent, as if he was wandering in the sky and indifferent to everything around him.

At this point, he finally raised his head and said calmly: "How about letting Chen Yuan help the Yuan family regain the medium-sized spirit stone vein?"

After hearing this, all the elders finally understood that Elder Gu was waiting for Chen Yuan here.

A year ago, at the junction of Renzhou and Ningzhou, a foundation-building disciple of the Yuan family in Renzhou joined forces with the foundation-building monks from Shifeng Mountain and Cangjian Palace in Ningzhou to explore a cave of ancient alchemy-forming monks.

They accidentally discovered a spirit stone vein, and each reported the news to the sect family behind them.

The three forces immediately sent Danjie monks to explore the spirit stone vein and found that it was a medium-sized spirit stone vein.

Moreover, among the few spirit stones that were mined, the proportion of high-grade spirit stones was extremely high, and there were two top-grade spirit stones.

This is a rare bonanza!

Spirit stone veins are divided into four levels according to their size, from giant to small, and the number of spirit stones produced each year decreases in sequence.

According to the quality of the spiritual stones produced, they are divided into rich ores and poor ores.

Rich mines have a very high proportion of high-grade spiritual stones, and top-grade spiritual stones will also be produced.

Most of the poor mines are medium-grade and low-grade spiritual stones, the proportion of high-grade spiritual stones is very small, and the top-grade spiritual stones are rare.

As soon as the news of the rich mine came out, the three forces were determined to get this spiritual stone vein and refused to give in.

This spirit stone vein is about ten miles long and happens to span Ningzhou and Renzhou. It was discovered by three monks together, and they can all compete for the ownership of the vein.

It's just that the strength of the three forces is very different. Hidden Sword Palace, like Haoran Sect, is one of the ten major sects, the overlord of Ningzhou, and has been passed down for tens of thousands of years.

It is also the only sword cultivating sect among the ten major sects, and its strength ranks among the top three among the ten major sects.

The Yuan Family and Shifeng Mountain are only medium-sized forces, with only one early Yuanying monk in charge, which is far inferior to Hidden Sword Palace.

But Shifeng Mountain was originally a vassal sect of Cangjian Palace. It followed Cangjian Palace and waved its flag and shouted. It was not greedy, but just wanted to get a share of the pie.

The Yuan family attracted Haoran Sect as external aid. When fighting with Cangjian Palace and Shifeng Mountain, it was only slightly at a disadvantage.

The dispute lasted for a year, and there was no result. The Yuanying cultivators of the three forces personally came to discuss and finally decided to decide the ownership of the vein by a battle.

This was extremely unfavorable to the Yuan family. The cultivators of Shifeng Mountain were still okay, but the Cangjian Palace was full of sword cultivators with strong strength. The Yuan family cultivators had no chance of winning.

But in the world of immortal cultivation, strength is respected. Since they couldn't reach an agreement, it was natural to resolve the dispute by fighting. The Yuan family could only agree.

But in this way, Haoran Sect was very embarrassed.

Cangjian Palace could participate in the competition for the spirit stone vein, but Haoran Sect did not find the vein at the beginning, so it could only support the Yuan family behind the scenes and could not send cultivators to participate in the fight.

But this is a rich mine that can produce top-grade spirit stones, and Haoran Sect will never give up.

The only good news is that, with the efforts of the head of the Yuan family, this battle is participated by Jindan cultivators.

If it were Yuanying cultivators, the head of the Yuan family might not be able to resist even a sword from the elder of the Cangjian Palace.

Haoran Sect has sent a casual cultivator to temporarily join the Yuan family as a guest elder to participate in this battle.

But Cangjian Palace has already regarded this rich mine as a treasure in its bag, and sent two true disciples to participate in this battle.

Elder Gu asked Chen Yuan to fight for the Yuan family, but the chances of winning were slim. If he could not take back the spirit stone vein, he would naturally not have to lend the spirit vein to him to form a baby.

...

"Impossible!" Mr. Xinzhai said sternly, "The Cangjian Palace also has a share in that spiritual stone mine. Asking Chen Yuan to help the Yuan family is deliberately making things difficult for him!"

Yang Liqian was very surprised: "What does Elder Xinzhai mean by this? The battle between the Yuan family and the Cangjian Palace and Shifeng Mountain will be held in a month. As long as Chen Xiaoyou wins, he can immediately retreat to attack the Nascent Soul. Elder Gu is considering Chen Xiaoyou. How can it be said that he is making things difficult for him?"

Mr. Xinzhai said: "The Cangjian Palace sent two true disciples to participate in the battle. How can Chen Yuan be their opponent?"

Yang Liqian suddenly realized: "So Elder Xinzhai thinks that Chen Xiaoyou is weak and will definitely lose."

"I think that as a physical cultivator, Chen Xiaoyou's strength is definitely far superior to that of the cultivators of the same level. Compared with the true disciples of the Cangjian Palace, he may not be at a disadvantage."

"As long as he wins, he can solve this problem for our sect, and he doesn't have to waste time and can directly attack the Nascent Soul. This is the best of both worlds. Elder Xinzhai should not stop him."

Xinzhai Sanren narrowed his eyes and was about to refute, but was stopped by Qingliu Jushi.

He looked at Elder Gu and said slowly: "Although Chen Yuan is not weak, he is only a casual cultivator after all. How can he compare with the true disciples of the Cangjian Palace."

"Letting him go to the Yuan family to help will not help. It will only hand over the medium-sized spirit stone vein. Let's change the task."

Elder Gu said indifferently: "Gu agrees with what Junior Brother Yang said. As a physical cultivator, Chen Yuan's strength must be extraordinary. As long as he wins the battle, he can seize the spirit stone vein for our sect, and he doesn't have to waste time chasing those rebellious criminals. It's the best of both worlds. Why not do it?"

Mr. Qingliu said: "I don't agree. If Chen Yuan fails, the spirit stone vein will belong to the Cangjian Palace, and this thousand-year-old thunder calamus will also be returned to him. Isn't it a double loss."

Elder Gu said: "This is wrong. This time the Cangjian Palace sent two true disciples, and our sect can't Going down in person is extremely passive. "

"Sending Chen Yuan to help may have a chance of winning. This is also a last resort, a move to survive from death."

"Even if Chen Yuan loses in the end, our sect can buy this thousand-year-old thunder calamus at a high price. I think he should not refuse this deal, nor dare to ask for an exorbitant price in front of our sect."

Yang Liqian smiled and said, "What Elder Gu said is very true. How can this be said to be a loss of two birds with one stone? It is obviously a win-win situation."

Another elder beside Elder Gu also spoke up: "I agree with Elder Gu's proposal,"

"I agree."

"Let Chen Yuan give it a try. It's not a loss anyway. At least he can buy this thousand-year-old thunder calamus. No matter what treasure Chen Yuan needs, as long as it is not excessive, we can agree to it."

A group of elders spoke up, and soon seven people agreed.

Only the three Qingliu laymen and a young cultivator sitting in the distance did not speak.

During this meeting, he remained silent, closed his eyes and let everyone argue.

Elder Gu looked over at this time: "Elder Yao, what do you think?"

Everyone looked over. The young cultivator was named Yao Songtao. He was the only cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul among the eleven Nascent Soul elders present, excluding Elder Gu.

There was a hint of hope in the eyes of Layman Qingliu. If Yao Songtao raised an objection, there was still room for discussion.

Yao Songtao slowly opened his eyes and smiled: "Since more than half of the elders agree with Elder Gu's proposal, then Yao is not in a position to object."

Layman Qingliu's face turned extremely ugly. More than half of the elders agreed, and Yao Songtao had no objection. This matter could not be changed.

Elder Gu said lightly: "Since all the elders agree, then it's settled. I will send someone to inform the Yuan family about this matter."

"Please ask Elder Qingliu to inform Chen Yuan to go to Yunding Mansion as soon as possible to participate in the battle and regain the spirit stone vein for our sect." (End of this chapter)
