Nine Transformations of the True Spirit

Four months later.

In a quiet room on the second floor of Baoguang Pavilion, Chen Yuan sat on a futon, holding a celadon teacup and sipping silently.

On the small white jade case in front of him, there was a copper incense burner, with smoke curling up from the furnace and the fragrance of sandalwood in the room was quiet.

An hour later, Nie Ming walked in holding a fixed light mirror and said with an apology on his face:

"Fellow Daoist Chen, you have been waiting for a long time. The fixing mirror has been warmed up. Please take a look, fellow Taoist."

He raised his hand and sent the fixed light slowly flying towards Chen Yuan.

Chen Yuan put down the celadon tea cup, caught the fixing mirror, pinched the magic formula with his hand, and poured magic power into it.

The fixed light mirror immediately emitted light, and a shallow white beam of light flickered on the mirror surface, illuminating the slightly dark quiet room as if it were daytime.

Chen Yuan felt carefully for another quarter of an hour before he withdrew his magic power, put the fixing mirror back into his storage bag, and saluted Nie Ming:

"Fellow Daoist Nie took the trouble, thank you Chen."

Nie Ming smiled and said:

"Nie is also trying to repay a favor. Fellow Daoist Chen, there is no need to be polite."

Chen Yuan shook his head slightly, took out a jade bottle and placed it on the case:

"There are also deep and shallow feelings. The power of the fixing mirror can be fully restored, and it can reach a higher level. It shows that Fellow Daoist Nie is doing his best. Chen cannot but express his gratitude. I would like to ask Fellow Daoist Nie not to refuse."

Nie Ming looked at the jade bottle:

"This is……"

"These are the two soul-restoring pills I have refined. After taking them, meditate for a quarter of an hour, and all the magic power in the body will be restored. Fellow Daoist Nie should use them when refining weapons."

When Nie Ming heard this, his face showed surprise, and he looked at Chen Yuan with a more cautious look.

This kind of elixir, which can restore mana in a short period of time, has always been precious. Even though he is proficient in the art of refining weapons and has a lot of money, he has only heard of its name and has never seen it.

He immediately responded with a salute:

"It turns out that Fellow Daoist Chen is an alchemist. This elixir, Nie, has also heard about it. It seems that it needs a hundred-year-old spirit grass as the main medicine. If Fellow Daoist Chen can refine it, he deserves to be called a master."

Chen Yuan said:

"The Restoring Spirit Pill is still far from the real Foundation-Building Pill, and Chen is too ashamed to take it."

Nie Ming blinked in confusion, then realized and said with a smile:

"Nie has forgotten that Daoyou Chen is a high disciple of the Lingyun Sect with a complete inheritance. Only by refining the foundation-building elixir can one be called a master of alchemy. Unlike other casual cultivators like us, the title of master is common. But Daoyou Chen is both Having refined the Spirit Resurrection Pill, at least I have one foot on the threshold of becoming a master of alchemy, and I will be able to cross over soon."

Chen Yuan smiled and did not explain the rules of Lingyun Sect's Alchemy Pavilion to Nie Ming.

He touched the storage bag, took out the silver flying sword he got from Huang Yunshang, put it on the case, and said:

"Chen has one more thing to ask for. Although this flying sword is a high-grade magic weapon, it is extremely hard. Two swords can cut through a high-grade magic weapon. It can even withstand a blow from a low-grade magic talisman. It is intact. Can you ask Fellow Daoist Nie? Appraisal, what kind of spiritual material is this sword made of?”

Nie Ming smiled and said:

"This is an easy matter to hear. Fellow Taoist, please wait a moment."

He stretched out his hand to take the flying sword, looked at it carefully, his expression gradually became cautious, suddenly touched the storage bag, took out a cyan stone, held the silver flying sword, and cut it.

laugh.

The silver flying sword effortlessly split the blue stone into two pieces without any pause, and the section was as smooth as a mirror.

At this time, his expression had become extremely cautious, and he injected a trace of mana into the flying sword and felt it carefully.

After a while, he opened his eyes and said slowly:

"If I'm not mistaken, this flying sword is mixed with some silver stone!"

"Silver Gang Stone?"

Nie Ming explained:

"Silver Gang Stone is a middle-grade spiritual material. It is the main material for refining the flying sword, a spiritual weapon. It is extremely precious. There is a lot of Yin Gang Stone mixed into this sword, so it is so hard. Not to mention a top-grade magic weapon. It’s a top-quality magic weapon that can cut it apart.”

Chen Yuan looked slightly happy when he heard this, but Nie Ming then said:

"It's just a pity that the refining method of this flying sword is rough. Apart from the silver gang stone, the spiritual materials used are too ordinary. Apart from being tough and sharp, it has no other characteristics."

Chen Yuan pondered for a moment and said:

"Might Fellow Daoist Nie upgrade it to a top-grade magic weapon?"

Nie Ming shook his head:

"When refining this sword, Yingang stone was mixed in, which has laid the foundation. If you want to re-refine it, you must add middle-grade spiritual materials. Ordinary low-grade spiritual materials cannot be integrated into the sword body. Although Nie has two middle-grade materials in his hand It is a spiritual material, but it is not suitable for refining the flying sword weapon. If my fellow Taoist has suitable spiritual materials, I can refining this sword for you."

Chen Yuan frowned slightly:

"What kind of spiritual materials are needed to refining this sword?"

"Silver Gang Stone is the best, followed by Black Iron Essence, Black Jade, and Blue Fluorite. But I suggest that Fellow Daoist Chen don't rush to re-refining it. This sword has great potential. It would be a pity to just upgrade it to a top-grade magic weapon. If it can be found, With enough spiritual material, it can be upgraded into a spiritual weapon in one fell swoop.”

Chen Yuan nodded, put away the silver flying sword, cupped his hands and said:

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Nie, for your advice. Chen has retrieved the fixing mirror. I can't disturb you any more, so I'll take my leave."

"Where, Nie couldn't help, I feel very ashamed..."

Nie Ming still wanted to refine the magic weapon, but he did not try to persuade Chen Yuan to stay and sent him out of Baoguang Pavilion himself.

After Chen Yuan left Baoguang Pavilion, he walked directly outside Lingyunfang City.

After repairing the fixing mirror, his last purpose of coming to Fangshi had been achieved, and it was time to return to the sect.

In the past four months, he participated in several underground trade fairs and saw many treasures, including many excellent magical weapons, which were comparable to fixed light mirrors.

Chen Yuan carefully selected and bought two top-quality magic weapons, a flying sword and a set of flying knives, for the main attack.

The flying sword is called Chixiao, which is red in color. When it is fully controlled, the sword body will be covered with a layer of fire, burning the opponent's magic weapon. It is extremely domineering, especially restraining the wood magic weapon.

Chen Yuan spent 900 spirit stones to beat many bidders and bid for this sword.

The set of flying knives has a total of seven, which is a rare set of magic weapons, called Seven Star Blades, which are extremely sharp, extremely fast, and good at group battles.

But the only bad thing about it is that it consumes a lot of spiritual consciousness.

If the cultivator's spiritual consciousness is not strong, he cannot control this set of flying knives at will, let alone control other magic weapons.

The Seven Star Blade magic weapon is so extreme that even if it is powerful, it was also coldly received at the trade fair.

But this is not a problem for Chen Yuan.

He only spent 830 spiritual stones to get this set of Seven Star Blades, picking up a bargain.

In addition to these two top-grade magic weapons, Chen Yuan also accidentally encountered the recipe of the Soul-Recovering Pill at a trade fair mainly for alchemists.

The Soul-Recovering Pill can restore all the mana of Qi-refining cultivators within a quarter of an hour, which is extremely practical.

The two bottles of pills that Chen Yuan got from Huang Yunshang and Huang Yundao were the Soul-Recovering Pill.

As soon as the pill recipe came out, it caused fierce competition. Chen Yuan spent a thousand spiritual stones and stood out among many alchemists to buy the pill recipe.

Then, he started to refine the Soul-Recovering Pill to prepare for the trip to Dongxu Mountain.

Chen Yuan's spiritual consciousness is powerful and he can control multiple magic weapons at the same time, but his mana consumption is far more than that of ordinary cultivators.

If he didn't prepare a few more Soul-Recovering Pills, after entering Dongxu Mountain, he would have to meditate for several hours every time he fought with others to restore his mana, so he would have no time to collect spiritual herbs.

But the main ingredient of the Fuling Pill, the purple-leafed lotus, is a hundred-year-old spiritual herb that is very rare in the market.

Chen Yuan tried his best to gather five furnaces of spiritual herbs and refine fifteen Fuling Pills, with a success rate of only 30%.

This is also one of the reasons why he is eager to return to the sect. In Lingyun Market, purple-leafed lotus is hard to find, but in the sect, there is no shortage of this kind of spiritual herb.

The Spring Festival is approaching, and I am busy with everything. The update is a little late. Sorry, there will be another update at 11 o'clock in the evening.
