Nine Transformations of the True Spirit

Headmaster Yue's consciousness penetrated the mustard seed ring. The next moment, an inconspicuous gray stone appeared in front of him, and the surrounding space became distorted.

"This should be the piece of Cang Ming Stone that Kun Tong gave to Master Yan. Master Yan secretly colluded with the Demon King in disguise to deceive Elder Gu and murder Daoyou Chen. What he did is no different from deceiving his master and destroying his ancestors. This stone Give the Cang Ming Stone to Fellow Daoist Chen as compensation." Headmaster Yue raised his hand and sent the Cang Ming Stone slowly towards Chen Yuan.

Chen Yuan took the Cang Ming Stone, put it into the mustard seed ring, cupped his hands and said, "Master Yue is highly righteous."

He cupped his fists and bowed to Elder Gu again: "I wrongly blamed Elder Gu, please forgive me."

Elder Gu bowed back and said sincerely: "Gu's poor discipline resulted in such a scumbag coming out of his sect, and fellow Taoist disciples almost fell into the trap of Kun Tong and Shi Man. Gu should be the one to apologize to Fellow Daoist Chen. "

The two apologized to each other, and the tense atmosphere in the hall suddenly relaxed.

But layman Qingliu looked serious and bowed to Master Yue with his fists clasped in his fists: "Master Master, although Junior Brother Gu was deceived by Master Nephew Yan, he gave his token to Master Nephew Yan so that Master Nephew Yan could hide the treasure. Receive the Forbidden Sky Formation in the pavilion."

"Also, under the slanderous words of Master Yan, he persuaded the real person in charge to issue an edict and forced Daoyou Chen to go to Hanzhou to deal with the lion barbarians. It is hard to escape the blame."

"Fellow Daoist Chen is magnanimous and will not pursue the matter. However, if this matter is revealed and spread, the monks all over the world will think that our Haoran Sect does not distinguish between right and wrong and insults monks from other sects, which will damage our reputation."

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the palace became tense again, Elder Gu's expression became gloomy again, and everyone looked at Master Yue to see how he would deal with it.

Head Yue gently stroked the three short strands of beard under his chin, pondered for a moment, and said slowly: "Elder Qingliu's words are reasonable. Elder Gu is negligent in discipline and must not be punished. I would like to ask all the elders to discuss how to deal with it."

Everyone clasped their fists and saluted: "Everything depends on the master's decision."

"Senior Brother Head's decision is..."

How could they offend Elder Gu at such a time? Naturally, the matter had nothing to do with them and they were concerned about it.

Naturally, layman Qingliu would not have such worries and said, "In my opinion, how about extending Junior Brother Gu's time guarding the Fire Hell for twenty years?"

Elder Gu's expression changed slightly, and he secretly sent a message to Master Yue: "Master, Mr. Gu has promised to guard the Fire Hell for sixty years, and it will be extended for another twenty years. It will be impossible to stick to it."

Master Yue did not answer. After pondering for a moment, he shook his head slightly: "The fire in the hell is fierce and poisonous, and it is extended for twenty years. It is too dangerous. Elder Gu's crime cannot be this serious. Elder Qingliu's proposal is inappropriate."

"In my opinion, Fellow Daoist Chen is a casual cultivator and has just given birth. Whether he is improving his cultivation or refining magic weapons, he needs heavenly materials and earthly treasures."

"How about we let Elder Gu compensate Daoyou Chen for a few treasures and let this matter be revealed? What do you think Daoyou Chen would like?"

Everyone looked at Chen Yuan. He looked hesitant. After a while, he nodded.

Head Yue looked at Elder Gu again, and he agreed without hesitation: "What treasure does Fellow Daoist Chen need? As long as Gu can bring it out, I will never refuse."

Chen Yuan pondered for a moment and then said: "Chen recently gave birth to a baby and is in urgent need of a magic weapon. Elder Gu has a high level of cultivation and is an elder of the Haoran Sect. He must have a very rich net worth."

"I don't need much, just a high-level magic weapon. This shouldn't be difficult for Elder Gu, right?"

Elder Gu frowned: "Gu only has two high-level magic weapons, which have been cultivated for hundreds of years. He usually regards them as his own life, so it is difficult to agree. I would like to ask Fellow Daoist Chen to change his condition."

"My cultivation is shallow and I want to practice in seclusion. Please ask Elder Gu to bring out two bottles of Nascent Soul early stage elixirs." Chen Yuan said again.

Elder Gu frowned: "Nascent Soul Stage elixirs are so precious. Gu only has four pills in his hand. I would like to give them all to fellow Taoists. No more will be taken out."

Chen Yuan showed a displeased look on his face: "Four Nascent Soul Early Stage Pills are too little. Fellow Taoist Gu promised to compensate with treasures. Is it just for fun?"

Elder Gu thought for a moment and said: "Fellow Taoist Chen needs to improve his cultivation. Although Gu has few pills in his hand, he still has four thousand-year-old grasses that can make a furnace of Chengyang Pill. I am willing to give it to fellow Taoist."

Chen Yuan shook his head: "It's still not enough."

Elder Gu's expression darkened: "Fellow Daoist Chen, Gu just neglected his discipline. The disciple has already died to apologize. Fellow Taoist, please don't be too aggressive."

Chen Yuan said seriously: "Elder Gu's words were wrong. The disciple secretly colluded with the Demon King, so I almost fell into the Demon King's ambush and narrowly escaped death."

"I'm just asking for some elixirs and herbs. Elder Gu is a monk in the middle stage of Yuanying. He is well-known in Renzhou and has a rich net worth. Why are you so fussy about it?"

"Elder Gu neither wants to take out the magic weapon nor the elixir. He doesn't have any sincerity. Where can he place the order from Head Yue?"

Elder Gu's expression became even more gloomy: "Gu only has these elixirs and herbs in his hands. I wonder what else Daoyou Chen wants?"

When everyone saw this, they all laughed secretly in their hearts. Chen Yuan was clearly asking for a price.

Chen Yuan said seriously: "I still need to refine a high-level magic weapon. As long as Elder Gu comes up with another top-grade spiritual material, no matter what kind it is, this matter will be revealed."

A cold light flashed in Elder Gu's eyes. The best spiritual materials were also rare treasures for mid-stage Nascent Soul monks. He only had three kinds in his hand.

But he was wrong first, and in front of Head Yue and the elders, he could not refuse Chen Yuan's request again and again, otherwise if something happened again, he would be too late to regret it.

"Gu has a ball of flowing fire in his hand, and I gave it to fellow Taoist Chen." Elder Gu took out a piece of transparent jade from the mustard seed ring, raised his hand and gave it away, flying towards Chen Yuan.

Chen Yuan reached out and took it. In the transparent jade, there was an orange flame burning quietly, exuding a rich fire attribute aura.

Chen Yuan sensed it and felt a slight burning sensation. He nodded and put away the transparent jade.

This ball of flowing fire is a top-grade fire-attribute spiritual material that can be used as the main material for refining high-level magic weapons, or as the auxiliary material for top-level magic weapons. Its value is equivalent to that of Chongxuan Peak, but it cannot compare with Cang Ming Stone.

Elder Gu took out another jade vase and four jade boxes and handed them to Chen Yuan. Chen Yuan inspected them one by one and put them into the mustard ring.

Head Yue smiled slightly: "Well, the misunderstanding has been eliminated. Fellow Daoist Chen has also brought back the body of Han Jade Lion. We have completed the mission entrusted by our sect. Everyone is happy. This matter ends here."

Elder Qingliu took a deep look at Elder Gu and bowed to Head Yue: "Now that the discussion is over, I will take my leave first."

Chen Yuan clasped his fists and bowed before walking out of the hall with layman Qingliu.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, please stay!" Elder Gu said suddenly.

Chen Yuan paused and turned around with a puzzled look on his face: "Elder Gu, what else do you want?"

Elder Gu stared at him and said word by word: "That forbidden sky formation is the property of our sect. Please return it to our sect, fellow Taoist."

Chen Yuan smiled slightly: "Elder Gu is joking, I got this forbidden air formation from Kun Tong, and I own it since Danggui."

Elder Gu narrowed his eyes and wanted to speak again, but Master Yue interrupted: "What Fellow Daoist Chen said is true. Although the Forbidden Sky Formation was taken privately from the Treasure Pavilion by Master Nephew Yan, he will If it is handed over to Kuntong, it will no longer have anything to do with our sect, and it will be in the hands of fellow Daoist Chen, so why should we ask for it from him? "

Fellow Daoist Chen cupped his fists and bowed: "Master Yue is fair in his dealings, I admire him."

After that, he turned around and left, and Elder Gu did not say anything to stop him.

Mr. Chengli and Xinzhai Sanren also said goodbye and left. The other Yuanying elders left one after another. In the end, only Head Yue, Elder Gu and Yang Liqian were left in the hall.

Headmaster Yue said: "Elder Gu, please come with me. I have something to discuss with you."

Yang Liqian understood and bowed his hands: "Yang takes his leave first."

The three of them walked out of the hall together, Yang Liqian flew into the sky, and Elder Gu followed Sect Leader Yue to the top of Haoran Peak and landed on the Escape Light.

The two walked into the main hall where Master Yue usually practiced, and sat down on the futon. Elder Gu cupped his fists and bowed: "Thank you Master Master for rescuing me."

Head Yue frowned and said: "Why do you and Elder Qingliu have a grudge? Chen Yuan only has some friendship with him, why do you have to put him to death?"

Elder Gu was silent for a while and said, "Please forgive me, the master, as this matter involves a secret, so I can't tell you."

Sect Master Yue stared at Elder Gu and said slowly: "No matter what grudges you have with Elder Qingliu, elders of the same sect must not kill each other, otherwise I will never forgive you."

Elder Gu hesitated for a moment and said: "I will obey the order of the master." (End of this chapter)
