Nine Transformations of the True Spirit

Chen Yuan looked at the white jade pill bottle handed over by Hall Master Qi and said in surprise:

"Only one bottle of Hunyuan Pill?"

Hall Master Qi apologized with a smile:

"Hall Master Chen, please forgive me. The medicinal materials used in Hunyuan Pill are extremely precious. Shennong Hall only produces two or three bottles per month. The gang leader uses one bottle and has to offer one bottle to General Wang of the Yuzhou Army. The remaining bottle will be sold to other states. However, since Hall Master Chen has asked for business, I can't let Hall Master Chen go back empty-handed. But if there are more, there will be no more."

Chen Yuan frowned, took the pill bottle, and said:

"Then please give me four more bottles of Jingyuan Pill, Hall Master Qi."

There are not enough Hunyuan Pills, so I can only use Jingyuan Pills.

The medicinal power of three Jingyuan Pills is equivalent to that of one Hunyuan Pill, so he asked for four bottles at the first moment.

Hall Master Qi did not dare to refuse, and immediately sent someone to get four bottles of Jingyuan Pill and handed them to Chen Yuan.

Chen Yuan asked a few more questions about the Sanjiang Gang before he stood up to say goodbye.

Master Qi escorted him to the door with a respectful attitude, just like facing Luo Zhenwu.

Although he was over fifty years old and Chen Yuan was younger than his son, Chen Yuan was now a master of Huajin, so he did not dare to be arrogant.

After Chen Yuan left, Master Qi did not dare to delay and immediately rushed to Luo Zhenwu's house.

…

Not long after Chen Yuan returned to the house, Luo Zhenwu came to the door.

In the reception room of the Chen Mansion, the two sat down as host and guest.

Luo Zhenwu kept looking Chen Yuan up and down, with shock in his eyes, and said:

"He has reached the level of Huajin before he is 20 years old. Even the legendary 'Xiaoyao Sword' Xie Qingping in the martial arts world is far behind him. Master Chen is extremely talented and is the best in the martial arts world. God bless our Fuhu Gang. We have a young genius like Master Chen. Without further ado, please ask Master Chen to take over the position of deputy leader tomorrow to boost the morale of the gang and wipe out the Sanjiang Gang in one fell swoop!"

Chen Yuan bowed and said:

"Thank you for your appreciation, but we can't rush this matter."

Luo Zhenwu frowned and said:

"Why do you say that, Master Chen?"

Chen Yuan said seriously:

"I heard from Master Qi that Huang Xiuzhi has been lingering at the peak of Huajin for a long time. He fought with the gang leader several times and both won and lost. I have just broken through the bottleneck of Huajin, and I am still far behind Huang Xiuzhi. Even if I join forces with the gang leader, I may not be able to stop him. It is better to wait for a while until I fully master the Chiyang sword technique, and then it will not be too late to take action. "

Luo Zhenwu nodded slightly, lowered his head and thought for a moment, and said:

"Master Chen's words make sense, and I have not considered it carefully. How about this, you break through the bottleneck of Huajin, keep it a secret for the time being, and wait until you fully master the Chiyang sword technique, and then use thundering means to flatten the Sanjiang Gang, how about it? "

"I have this idea, please give me half a year, half a year later, it will be the time for the Sanjiang Gang to be destroyed. "

...

After sending Luo Zhenwu away, Chen Yuan returned to the backyard and continued to practice martial arts, but he did not practice the Chiyang sword technique.

He wants to take the path of cultivating immortals, and the Chiyang sword technique is useless to him.

What to do now is to continue to accumulate true qi, reach the peak of Huajin, transform the true qi in the body into mana, and take the opportunity to impact the bottleneck of the fourth level of Qi Refining.

His words just now were just to stabilize Luo Zhenwu and let Shennong Hall continue to provide him with pills.

Of course, Chen Yuan also wanted to destroy the Sanjiang Gang. After all, he killed Yang Huaizhan himself and had a deadly feud with the Sanjiang Gang, so he had to cut the grass and eradicate it.

When he cultivated to the fourth level of Qi Refining, his strength was comparable to that of an innate warrior, and it would be easy to wipe out the Sanjiang Gang.

But before that, he would not rashly get involved in the fight with the Sanjiang Gang to avoid accidents and affect his cultivation.

If it weren't for the fact that after breaking through to Huajin, the power of the Jingyuan Pill was too poor, and Hunyuan Pill was needed for martial arts practice, he would not even tell this matter.

...

In the next few months, the Fuhu Gang continued to suppress the Sanjiang Gang, while Chen Yuan stayed at home, practiced hard, and made rapid progress.

But as before, as the strength of the physical body increased, after the starlight was infused into the body, more and more energy needed to be replenished, and the speed of consuming pills was also getting faster and faster.

In the first two months of breaking through Huajin, Chen Yuan took less than one bottle of Hunyuan Pill and four bottles of Jingyuan Pill per month.

In the third month, the number of Essence Pills increased to nearly five bottles.

In the fourth month, the number of Essence Pills exceeded five bottles.

In the fifth month, the number of Essence Pills exceeded six bottles.

This time, Master Qi could not sit still.

He did not dare to provoke Chen Yuan, but Chen Yuan used six bottles of Essence Pills every month, which really killed Shennong Hall.

Hunyuan Pills were not a big deal. They were sold to other states before, and no longer sold outside, so there was not much impact.

But there were many Gangjin warriors in the Yuzhou Army, and the demand for Essence Pills was not small.

After the fall of Jishitang, Shennong Hall was the only one selling Essence Pills on the market, and the supply could not meet the demand.

Chen Yuan used five or six bottles of Essence Pills alone, so Shennong Hall had to stop selling them to the outside world. The money was not earned, and even the expenses of the masters and deputy masters in the gang were reduced a lot.

But they also knew that Chen Yuan had broken through the bottleneck of Huajin, and even if they had complaints, they dared not say it out, and all put pressure on Master Qi.

Master Qi couldn't hold on any longer and went to Luo Zhenwu to complain.

Luo Zhenwu could only comfort him patiently:

"Master Qi, please hold on a little longer. In another month, it will be the deadline agreed upon by Master Chen and I. After we wipe out the Sanjiang Gang, our gang will completely control the medicinal materials business in Yuzhou. What does a few bottles of Jingyuan Pills mean?"

Luo Zhenwu spoke, and Master Qi could only obey and give priority to supplying pills to Chen Yuan.

But when he came to Chen Yuan's house with the pills for next month, Chen Yuan refused:

"Master Qi, take the pills back. From now on, you don't need to send me pills anymore."

Temple Master Qi was relieved and thanked repeatedly. He restored the supply of elixirs to the hall masters and deputy hall masters, and started selling Essence Pills again. The business of Shen Nei Tang became very popular.

At the same time, Chen Yuan came to Luo Zhenwu's house to say goodbye, saying that he needed to leave the county for a while.

Luo Zhenwu agreed without asking why, and gave Chen Yuan a thousand-mile horse for him to travel.

Chen Yuan was quite surprised that the speech he had prepared was not used at all.

Luo Zhenwu also said:

"If Master Chen needs anything, just ask. We have thousands of members in this gang, and Master Chen can dispatch them."

Chen Yuan clasped his fists and said:

"Master, I appreciate your kindness, but I can go alone. It would be inconvenient if there are more people."

Luo Zhenwu nodded and said solemnly:

"I don't know what Master Chen is going to do, but I have a few words from the bottom of my heart. I hope Master Chen will know."

Chen Yuan said seriously:

"Master, please tell me."

Luo Zhenwu said slowly:

"Looking at the past masters of our gang, there has never been a saying that the son succeeded the father. They all passed the throne to virtuous people. Therefore, our gang has stood in Yuzhou Jianghu for nearly a hundred years. After going through wind and rain, it still holds the leading position in Yuzhou Jianghu."

"Master Chen is not yet twenty years old, but he has reached the level of Huajin. He is a genius, rarely seen in the world. After wiping out the Sanjiang Gang, I will follow the gang rules. , and passed the position of gang leader to Chen Tangzhu. Whether our Fuhu Gang can dominate the martial arts world in the future depends on Chen Tangzhu, so Chen Tangzhu must be careful and not take risks. "

He looked serious and spoke sincerely. Chen Yuan was surprised when he heard it, and clasped his fists and said:

"I am grateful for your kindness, but I am not interested in this. Please choose another capable person. But please rest assured, since I have made a promise, I will not break it. When I come back, I will join hands with you to wipe out the Sanjiang Gang and take back the Yuzhou Jianghu for our gang. "

Hearing this, Luo Zhenwu sighed and smiled bitterly:

"Well, Chen Tangzhu has lofty ambitions, and I am abrupt. "

Afterwards, Luo Zhenwu said no more, nor did he ask Chen Yuan what his ambitions were. He even looked down on the position of Fuhu Gang leader and sent him out of the mansion.

Before leaving, Chen Yuan took a deep look at Luo Zhenwu and led the horse back to the mansion.

…

Chen Yuan packed his luggage and rode on his horse. It took him only one day to get back to Leping County.

The Thousand Mile Horse given by Luo Zhenwu was extraordinary and had long endurance, far superior to ordinary inferior horses.

Although it could not travel a thousand miles a day, it was easy to travel hundreds of miles a day.

Chen Yuan passed through Leping County, but did not enter the city. Instead, he followed the road all the way to Yuanpingxing.

When he passed by Chenjia Village, he did not stop until the sun set, and then he stayed in an inn on the roadside.

This was a big inn, doing business with caravans traveling in Yuanpingxing, and also accepting individual guests, but the price was much higher.

Chen Yuan naturally did not take it seriously and asked for a room upstairs to stay.

He could travel overnight, but the horse could not bear it, and had to rest for a night before entering the mountains.

After dinner, Chen Yuan returned to his room, lit the oil lamp, took out the "Red Flame Art", and read it carefully, with an unusually serious expression.

This time he left the county town to transform all the true qi in his body into mana and truly embark on the road of cultivating immortals.

In the past five months, Chen Yuan has been practicing diligently day and night. Finally, three days ago, he reached the peak of Huajin, and his Dantian was full of true qi. He practiced the Six Yang Gong to the peak, but he could not make any progress.

His physical strength was also greatly enhanced. The Jingyuan Pill could no longer replenish energy after replenishing the starlight.

Even the Hunyuan Pill required three pills to barely replenish energy once, which was extremely wasteful.

At this point, he could finally transform the true qi in his body into mana according to the method recorded in the "Red Flame Art", and use it to impact the bottleneck of the fourth level of Qi Refining.

But it takes a long time to transform the true qi into mana, at least ten days, and at most half a month.

And in this process, he looked inward and had no defense against the outside world. If someone had bad intentions, it would be extremely dangerous.

Chen Yuan was cautious by nature, so he naturally would not transform in the county town.

He wanted to go to a place that was absolutely safe and free from any accidents, so he said goodbye to Luo Zhenwu.

He had already thought of a statement at that time, but he didn't expect Luo Zhenwu to be so reasonable and pass on the position of gang leader to him without asking the reason.

If he used his status as the leader of a gang to force him, Chen Yuan would naturally not be polite.

After coming out of the Chimang Mountains, he had been infused with starlight nearly a hundred times, and his huge strength became more and more terrifying. Even though he was at the peak of Huajin, he was definitely not Luo Zhenwu's opponent.

But Luo Zhenwu was so tactful and knew how to advance and retreat, which surprised Chen Yuan.

He didn't know whether Luo Zhenwu had seen something, or didn't want to offend the masters of Huajin, or really loved talents.

But since Luo Zhenwu could suppress his greed and not explore his secrets, he would also return the favor and help Luo Zhenwu to wipe out the Sanjiang Gang.
