Nine Transformations of the True Spirit

Chen Yuan's eyes flashed and he said with a smile: "Sorry, fellow Taoist, what are the five spiritual materials?"

"Fellow Taoist, please take a look." He Zhenren raised his sleeve and flicked, and five wooden boxes appeared out of thin air on the stone table. The lids of the boxes were opened, and inside were placed colorful crystal spiritual wood, yellow mud and bluestone, full of spiritual energy.

Chen Yuan spread his consciousness and scanned them one by one, examining them very carefully.

After a while, he raised his head, clasped his fists and bowed: "Sure enough, it is the spiritual material I need that has made fellow Taoist so troubled. May I ask the price of the elders of your sect?"

He Zhenren looked embarrassed: "Fellow Taoist also knows that these five kinds of spiritual materials are all extraordinary, and they are the best choices for refining magic weapons."

"It's not easy for these elders to get it, and the price they ask is not low. Each spiritual material costs three top-quality spiritual stones. Do you want to eat them all, fellow Taoist?"

When Chen Yuan heard this, he lowered his head and glanced at the five spiritual materials on the table again, feeling relieved.

These five spiritual materials are not as good as the Eclipsing Yin Vine and Millennium Iron Mugen that he once traded to Tong Zhen.

Three of them are relatively rare, and the price of three top-quality spiritual stones is reasonable.

But there are two types that are inferior. If you buy them from other Yuanying monks, you should be able to buy two top-quality spiritual stones.

Zhenren He's quotation for these two spiritual materials was also three top-grade spiritual stones. It seemed that the extra two top-grade spiritual stones were his commission from the matchmaking process.

The asking price was not high. It was reasonable for He Zhenren to spend time and effort to find five spiritual materials for Chen Yuan and only get two top-quality spiritual stones.

Chen Yuan smiled and said: "If I continue to pick and choose, wouldn't it be a waste of all the hard work of my fellow Taoist?"

He raised his sleeves and flicked, and fifteen top-quality spiritual stones appeared out of thin air on the table. They were piled together. The rich spiritual energy was thickened into mist, and under the soft light of the night pearl, it emitted colorful colors.

When Master He saw Chen Yuan being so cheerful, he couldn't help but smile and put away the top-quality spiritual stone.

Chen Yuan also put the five spiritual materials into the mustard seed ring. The two looked at each other and smiled, understanding each other tacitly.

But Chen Yuan then took out two more top-grade spiritual stones and handed them to He Zhenren: "Fellow Taoist, I have been running around for the sake of my affairs, so I must avenge them. Please accept these two top-grade spiritual stones, fellow Taoist."

He Zhenren was stunned. When he was pricing the spiritual materials, he had already asked for two more top-grade spiritual stones. What did Chen Yuan mean by this?

He did not accept the spirit stone rashly. He pondered for a moment and shook his head slightly: "I just visited a few elders in the sect and didn't put in much effort. I can't accept these two top-quality spirit stones."

Chen Yuan smiled and said: "My Taoist friend is very righteous, I naturally know it, otherwise I wouldn't be able to buy five spiritual materials so easily."

"But there are still six spiritual materials left. I have a wide circle of Taoist friends. Can you help me to the end and introduce my acquaintance to fellow Yuanying Taoist?"

When Master He heard this, a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes, he stroked his beard and smiled: "This matter is simple. Although I am not very advanced, I have practiced Taoism for hundreds of years. Among my fellow Taoists, I am still a bit thin."

"Now I will write a few letters for my Taoist friends. If my Taoist friends go there with the letters, they will not be rejected."

He took two top-quality spiritual stones, took out several blank jade slips from the mustard seed ring, and penetrated them with his spiritual consciousness one after another, leaving a mark.

Chen Yuan watched quietly. He Zhenren wrote five letters in total and handed them to Chen Yuan.

He took the five jade slips and scanned them with his consciousness. The words in the jade slips were similar, except for the names. He introduced Chen Yuan's identity and his intention to purchase spiritual materials, and asked him to help. Thank you Yunyun. He Zhenren gently stroked his long beard: "These five Taoist friends have the deepest friendship with me. If the Taoist friends come to visit me, as long as they have the spiritual materials needed by the Taoist friends, they should be able to gain something."

Chen Yuan put away the jade slips, cupped his fists and bowed: "I owe you a favor from fellow Taoist."

Master He sighed softly: "I wrote these five letters for Taoist Taoist Brother Xuanyuan because of his sake."

"Fellow Daoist Xuanyuan regards Lingyun Sect as his life. Before leaving, please let me take care of him."

"However, I am not a monk from the Qi Kingdom after all, so I cannot interfere too much, causing the Lingyun Sect to be oppressed by the Ziyang Sect."

"After fellow Taoist returns, please take good care of the sect for me, my old friend. When fellow Taoist Xuanyuan returns from the Demon Realm, I will have an explanation for him."

Chen Yuan said sternly: "I was originally a disciple of the Lingyun Sect, and now I am the supreme elder of the Lingyun Sect. I am supposed to support the sect, and I will repay the Ziyang Sect a hundredfold for all the oppression I have done to the Ziyang Sect."

He Zhenren said with a solemn expression: "After all, my Taoist friend has had a baby not long ago, but Taoist Ziyang Zong Dukun has been having a baby for hundreds of years. He is extremely old-fashioned and has the support of Jiangxian Mountain behind him. Unless it is absolutely necessary, we should not confront him tit for tat."

Chen Yuan nodded. Zhenren He obviously didn't know about the alliance between the six sects. He didn't explain. He just asked: "I heard that Zhenren Bai of Jiangxian Mountain has a close relationship with Taoist Duqing, the head of Ziyang Sect. Fellow Taoist." Do you know the details of this person?”

He Zhenren's eyes narrowed slightly: "This person's name is Bai Zhen. He is in the middle stage of Yuanying. One of his direct disciples is also a Yuanying monk. He has a respected position in Jiangxian Mountain, second only to the master."

"His friendship with Taoist Duqing is not deep. It was only after Taoist Duqing gave Bai Zhen a treasure after the Ziyang Sect moved away from Qi that he protected the Ziyang Sect."

"However, maintaining the structure of the six sects unchanged is the guarantee made by the four Xuanzongs when the heads of the six sects left."

"Although Bai Zhen's cultivation level is high, it is not allowed to meddle in the internal affairs of the six sects of Qi State at will, otherwise the Ziyang Sect would have become the dominant one."

"I dare to ask my friend, to what extent will the four major Xuanzongs intervene?" Chen Yuan said.

He Zhenren frowned: "But the Ziyang Sect goes too far to bully others? My fellow Taoist is a Nascent Soul monk. Doesn't Taoist Dukun still know how to restrain himself?"

Chen Yuan shook his head and finally briefly told the story of how he had cut off Taoist Dukun's arm during the six sects' alliance.

After hearing this, Zhenren He looked Chen Yuan up and down, with surprise that could not be concealed in his eyes.

Chen Yuan, who had just given birth to a baby, was able to force a long-standing Nascent Soul monk into a desperate situation in a battle. What kind of strength is this?

This kind of thing is enough to surprise the elders of the four major Xuan Sects. What's more, Chen Yuan is only from a medium-sized sect, but he can have such strength, which is even more unbelievable.

He smiled and said: "Fellow Taoist has such strength. Before Taoist Duqing comes back, life in Ziyang Sect will probably be difficult."

"The four major Xuanzongs have long had a tacit understanding. As long as Elder Jiedan does not die or the mountain gate is breached, they will not interfere in the fight between the six sects of Qi. Otherwise, fellow Taoists can do whatever they want."

Chen Yuan nodded and narrowed his eyes: "I understand."

The two talked for a while, and Chen Yuan stood up to say goodbye. He Zhenzhen ordered Linghe to send him out of the mountain gate.

After Chen Yuan left the Dongling Mountains, he did not return to Fangshi, but flew directly to the north. (End of chapter)
