Nine Transformations of the True Spirit

Three days later, Mo Jingchun came to Zhuming Mountain and handed two low-grade talismans to Chen Yuan.

Chen Yuan accepted the talisman and had a long conversation with Mo Jingchun before sending him away.

Afterwards, Chen Yuan went to the Alchemy Pavilion and received the task of refining thirty furnaces of Yuhua Pills.

But he did not rent the Earth Fire Palace, but returned to the cave to refine the pills with the flames condensed by magic power.

This would slightly reduce the quality of the pills, and sometimes even reduce the success rate by 10%, but it would not block the sun, allowing Chen Yuan to draw starlight into his body every seven days.

When he was refining these thirty furnaces of Yuhua Pills, his mind was immersed in it, extremely focused, and extremely mentally exhausted.

After each time he refined the pills, he would first think quietly, sum up his experience and lessons, and carefully comprehend the alchemy tips recorded in "Zhang Family Alchemy Essentials", and then devote himself to the next alchemy.

Except for the need to meditate to restore mana before and after drawing starlight into the body, the rest of the time was spent on alchemy.

During this process, Chen Yuan's alchemy skills, which had been stagnant for a long time, finally improved again.

When refining the 19th furnace of pills, the success rate reached 70%.

So far, he has thoroughly understood 90% of the "Zhang Family Alchemy Essentials", and only two foundation-building pill recipes have not been mastered.

Yuhua Pills are the most difficult to refine among the Qi Refining Pills.

The 70% success rate means that as long as Chen Yuan refines dozens of furnaces of foundation-building pills and accumulates experience, he will definitely become a master of alchemy.

But this did not stop Chen Yuan. He continued to study alchemy. When refining each furnace of Yuhua Pills, he would devote all his energy and carefully feel every change of the spiritual herbs in the alchemy furnace.

When refining the 30th furnace of pills, Chen Yuan felt that he seemed to have touched the threshold of 80% success rate.

He immediately rushed to the Alchemy Pavilion and took on the task of refining three furnaces of Yuhua Pills.

At this time, there was less than a month before the opening of the Dongxu Mountain Secret Realm.

This time, Chen Yuan did not rush back to the cave, but rented a ground fire hall.

He wanted to use the pure and stable ground fire to achieve an 80% success rate!

...

When Chen Yuan was studying alchemy, a rumor spread quietly in Lingyun Sect.

The sect attached great importance to this trip to the secret realm and wanted to send the most top-notch Qi-refining disciples to enter it.

Not only that, the sect also wanted to recruit disciples of the tenth level of Qi-refining to enter the secret realm of Dongxu Mountain.

Before the secret realm is opened, the registered disciples will be given a top-grade magic weapon, fifty low-grade spirit stones, and five middle-grade magic talismans as rewards.

When the rumor first spread, the Qi-refining disciples in Lingyun Sect all sneered at it.

Everyone knows that those who entered the secret realm of Dongxu Mountain to risk their lives in the past were all casual cultivators who entered the sect through the Ascension Conference.

Lingyun Sect gave them a chance to build a foundation, and they needed to bring back rare spiritual herbs for Lingyun Sect, among which the three main herbs for refining the foundation-building pill were the most important.

The top disciples are extremely talented. They can build their foundation by practicing in the sect. Why would they risk entering the secret realm of Dongxu Mountain?

As for the news that magic tools, spirit stones, and talismans are given as rewards for registration, it is even more nonsense.

When did the sect become so generous? In the past, only disciples who passed the Ascension Conference could get a top-grade Baiyun Sword, but they had never been rewarded with spirit stones and talismans.

No one believed this rumor, but just regarded it as a joke.

But as this rumor spread more and more, more and more foundation-building cultivators privately affirmed it, and the Qi-refining disciples of Lingyun Sect had to take this rumor seriously.

Two months before the secret realm was opened, Xu Changan, the Jindan elder who was currently in charge of the sect, announced that he would send top disciples to the secret realm of Dongxu Mountain and recruit Qi-refining disciples of the tenth level to enter the secret realm of Dongxu Mountain to collect spiritual herbs.

As soon as this news came out, it immediately caused an uproar among the low-level disciples of Lingyun Sect.

The secret realm of Dongxu Mountain is so dangerous. Those top disciples can cultivate to the foundation-building stage safely. Why do they want to enter the secret realm and risk their lives?

They found their respective teachers and relatives, complained and begged, and tried to ask. In short, they didn't want to enter the secret realm.

But the teachers who used to dote on them were powerless this time.

Some disciples found the elders of the Jindan stage to plead for mercy, but they returned in vain.

After all the hustle and bustle, they got such a result. These proud children of heaven naturally couldn't accept it.

They are gifted and will definitely succeed in building a foundation in the future. They are all influential figures. There are many followers among the low-level disciples. The private complaints quickly spread in the sect.

But at this time, another rumor came out, saying that the person who made this decision was the head of the Lingyun Sect, the Yuanying cultivator Xuanyuanzi.

After this, no one dared to be dissatisfied.

Rather than saying that the six major sects are six major cultivators, it is better to say that they are six major sects.

Xuan Yuanzi has the final say in Lingyun Sect, and no one dares to disobey his decision.

Moreover, Elder Xu Changan made it clear that the disciples coming out of the secret realm can get spiritual tools, spiritual talismans, and foundation-building elixirs according to the number of spiritual herbs they handed in, which are not limited to foundation-building elixirs, so that these top disciples will not make a wasted trip.

With the pressure of Yuanying cultivators above and generous rewards as bait below, they can only accept this order.

If the top disciples are full of resentment, other low-level disciples are very excited about the rewards announced by the sect.

Before entering the secret realm, there are rewards of magic tools, spiritual stones, and talismans. If you are lucky, you can find rare spiritual herbs in the secret realm and bring them out, and you can also exchange them for foundation-building elixirs, spiritual tools, spiritual talismans, and cultivation elixirs, and your road will be smooth from then on.

Some disciples with true spiritual roots who had never considered entering the secret realm before signed up to enter the secret realm as soon as possible. Many miscellaneous disciples who had failed to break through the foundation building also signed up enthusiastically.

But at the same time, there were also many cautious people who saw that this trip to the secret realm would inevitably lead to a fight that was ten or a hundred times more brutal than before, so they did not dare to sign up.

These people accounted for the majority of low-level disciples. After all, cultivators who could cultivate to the tenth level of Qi Refining were all shrewd people.

Only those who were strong and extremely confident dared to enter the Dongxu Mountain Secret Realm.

As the time before the opening of the Dongxu Mountain Secret Realm became shorter and shorter, more and more people signed up. In addition to the casual cultivators who participated in the Ascension Conference, ten days before the secret realm opened, the registration ended, and a total of eighty-seven people wanted to enter the Dongxu Mountain Secret Realm.

Among these eighty-seven people, except for the casual cultivators who entered the sect through the Ascension Conference, the rest of the disciples were the best among the low-level disciples of Lingyun Sect, with strong means and strength at least equal to Huang Yundao.

Among them, there are more than a dozen top disciples with countless trump cards. They are not only gifted, but also have experienced a lot of training. They are not just vases with empty cultivation but no fighting skills.

They have pure magic power, are proficient in magic, and have magic tools and treasures given by their teachers. As long as nothing unexpected happens, they will definitely bring back the most rare spiritual herbs to Lingyun Sect.

…

Bai Shifeng is a peak of more than 900 feet in the mountain gate of Lingyun Sect. It is majestic and magnificent with a variety of scenes.

There are more than a dozen foundation-building cultivators who have opened caves on the mountain.

The day after the registration ended, a disciple of the tenth level of Qi Refining came to Bai Shifeng, outside a cave, released a sound transmission talisman, and waited respectfully.

This person looked more than 30 years old, with a straight nose and deep eyes, and a strange bun, like a foreigner.

After waiting for a while, the stone door of the cave opened, he chuckled, walked in, and came to a stone hall with simple and elegant furnishings.

Sitting on the main seat in the hall was a wealthy monk with a full forehead and a round chin. It was Huang Anhe.

When he saw the visitor, his face darkened and he said with obvious displeasure:

"He Xin, you are not going to the secret realm, why do you come to me?"

The Qi Refining disciple bowed to Huang Anhe, with a respectful expression, and said:

"Uncle Huang, after thinking about it, I still feel that this deal is a loss. Uncle Master needs to add some spirit stones."

It will probably be late tomorrow, I will try to update on time.
