Nine Transformations of the True Spirit

In the Lingyun Mountains, a wall of thousands of feet of cloud connected the sky and the earth, heavy and stagnant.

A ray of light flew from the sky at an extremely fast speed, and slowed down slightly in front of the cloud wall.

As if a strong wind blew by, the cloud wall suddenly began to flow, and a passage quickly emerged, with the escaping light going straight into it.

After a while, a foundation-building monk came to the passage, looking at the slowly flowing clouds and mist, his eyes uncertain.

He dispersed his consciousness and carefully checked, but still found nothing unusual, and then left.

In the Lingyun Sect Mountain Range, the escaping light passed through the cloud wall and reached the sky above Baiyun Peak. It finally stopped and revealed Chen Yuan's figure.

He landed in front of the cave, took out a transmitting talisman, put it to his mouth, said a few words silently, raised his hand and threw it, the transmitting talisman turned into a stream of light and flew out.

The stone door slowly opened, and Chen Yuan walked into the cave. After waiting in the stone hall for about two quarters of an hour, Zhuge Qi walked in.

He walked quickly to Chen Yuan, cupped his fists and bowed: "Welcome the Supreme Elder back to the clan."

"Elder Zhuge, there is no need to be polite." Chen Yuan waved his hand, "During the time I left, did anything happen to the world of immortality in Qi?"

Zhuge Qi straightened up, shook his head and said: "This sect has been suppressing the Ziyang Sect. In the past two months, the reputation of the Supreme Elder has spread throughout the country, and the morale of our disciples is like a rainbow."

"Tiangang Sword Sect and Mingyin Valley are the only ones who follow the lead of this sect, and they contributed a lot when dealing with Ziyang Sect."

“Although Ziyang Sect has been fighting back, it’s to no avail.”

"I follow the instructions of the Supreme Elder and only target the Ziyang Sect. I will leave Wanshou Mountain and Guiyuan Sect aside for the time being. Wanshou Mountain and the Ziyang Sect have begun to become seemingly inseparable."

"Only the Guiyuan Sect and the Ziyang Sect are too closely connected to dare to disobey orders, but they are unable to do their job."

Chen Yuan nodded slightly: "You've done a good job. Keep up the good work. As long as no alchemy cultivator dies, you don't have to worry about anything."

"Zhuge understands." Zhuge Qi's eyes flashed with joy and he immediately agreed.

Chen Yuan asked again: "How did you handle the few things I told you before I left the clan?"

Zhuge Qi replied: "The preparations for the sect's grand competition have been completed. As long as you have the cultivation level in the late stage of Qi refining, you can register to participate. It is not limited to inner disciples, miscellaneous disciples, and outer disciples. The format of the grand competition is the same as that of the past Immortal Ascension Conference. Same."

"The Immortal Ascension Conference has been widely advertised and will be held in four months. You can sign up in the late stage of Qi refining."

"All the new disciples who join the sect this year have had their spiritual consciousness tested. Those who are different from ordinary people will be sent to various halls and pavilions to learn the various arts of cultivation."

Chen Yuan praised: "Very good, but the methods of the sect competition and the Immortal Ascension Conference need to be changed. After each draw, the winner can advance to the next round."

"But the loser does not have to be eliminated immediately. Instead, he will face the loser on the second day. Everyone has two chances. If they lose all, they will be eliminated."

Zhuge Qi suddenly realized: "In this way, the influence of luck can be greatly eliminated and truly capable disciples will not be buried."

Chen Yuan nodded: "Yes, the sect competition must be successfully held, but the Foundation Establishment Pill cannot be used as a reward."

"For the next four years, the exchange of Foundation Establishment Pills in the Shanggong Hall will be temporarily suspended."

"If you want to obtain the Foundation Building Pill, you can only enter the secret realm of Dongxu Mountain, collect spiritual herbs, and exchange them with the sect."

Zhuge Qi was stunned for a moment, and then realized that Chen Yuan was not allowing the Qi Refining disciples to build foundations, forcing them to enter the secret realm of Dongxu Mountain.

He was wondering what Chen Yuan's intention was. After all, thousand-year-old spiritual herbs rarely appeared in the secret realm of Dongxu Mountain. No matter how many five- or eight-hundred-year-old spiritual herbs there were, they would be useless to Nascent Soul cultivators.

But he did not dare to question Chen Yuan's decision and could only accept it.

Chen Yuan pondered for a while and asked: "How many high-grade spiritual materials and high-grade spiritual stones are there in the sect's treasure house?" Zhuge Qi was shocked and replied: "There are still seven pieces of high-grade spiritual materials and approximately There are more than 2,400 yuan.”

Chen Yuan was a little surprised: "There are so many high-grade spiritual stones stored in our sect?"

After returning to the Lingyun Sect, he and Zhuge Qi went to the treasure house. He remembered clearly that there were nine pieces of high-grade spiritual materials. Now there are two pieces missing. They should have been replaced by other pill-forming elders, but they did not count the high-grade spiritual materials. Spiritual stone.

Zhuge Qi explained: "When our sect moved away from the Qi State, the master issued an order. Every time Elder Jiedan received the offering, the high-grade spiritual stones were halved. After returning to the Qi State, they remained unchanged and accumulated a lot. Top grade spiritual stone.”

"After the Supreme Elder returned to the sect, he took away 20% of the Yuyang Mountain mineral veins. The high-grade spiritual stones he received every year were doubled. The offerings from the elders in the sect were increased, and all the rest was accumulated, so it can reach this scale."

"How many of these two thousand, four hundred high-grade spiritual stones can be taken out?" Chen Yuan asked

Zhuge Qi lowered his head and thought for a moment, then said: "The guardian formation, the spirit gathering formation, the guardian formation of Lingyunfang City, etc. all require high-grade spiritual stones to operate, which consume about four hundred yuan every year."

"The offerings for the elders in the sect have not yet been distributed. They require more than three hundred yuan, and about one thousand seven hundred yuan can be taken out."

Chen Yuan nodded slightly: "Excuse me, Elder Zhuge, to fetch all the high-grade spiritual materials and spiritual stones."

Zhuge Qi's heart sank, but he respectfully replied: "Please wait a moment, Elder Taishang."

After that, he turned around and left, quickly walking out of the cave.

Chen Yuan looked at Zhuge Qi's back and thought about how many spiritual materials these spiritual stones and spiritual materials could exchange for repairing the ancient teleportation array.

Two months ago, after he left the Dongling Mountains, he visited several Nascent Soul monks that Master He had made friends with to purchase spiritual materials.

As an elder of the White Crane Sect, He Zhenren had been in the Nascent Soul stage for a long time and had made many friends with Nascent Soul cultivators.

For Xuanyuanzi's sake, he accepted two more top-grade spirit stones before handing Chen Yuan five letters.

These five people had a good relationship with him and none of them refused Chen Yuan.

Three of them were similar to Chen Yuan, all of them were the masters of medium-sized sects or supreme elders. They only took out one kind of spirit material that Chen Yuan needed, and he bought it for three top-grade spirit stones.

The other two were elders of Zhiyuan Sect and Tianxuan Sect. Chen Yuan first went to Zhiyuan Sect, which was closer, to visit Elder Peng.

Elder Peng was quite enthusiastic when he saw He Zhenren's letter. Chen Yuan explained his intention, but Elder Peng did not have the spirit material he needed.

Chen Yuan asked Elder Peng to act as a matchmaker and buy spirit materials from other elders of Zhiyuan Sect, and he readily agreed.

Elder Peng spent seven days to find five kinds of spiritual materials, but when he made the offer, he asked for three more top-grade spiritual stones, a total of seventeen top-grade spiritual stones.

Chen Yuan only had nine top-grade spiritual stones left, and he took out two jars of top-grade spiritual water and the last wood-attributed top-grade spiritual material from Tian You in exchange for these five spiritual materials, and left three top-grade spiritual stones.

As an elder of one of the ten major sects, the spiritual materials he used to refine magic weapons were also very rare in Jiuxianzhou, and even more precious to the Yuanying cultivators of Donghuazhou.

One of the elders of Zhiyuan Sect happened to be a wood-attributed cultivator. He was determined to get this spiritual material and gave Chen Yuan three top-grade spiritual stones instead.

The other two jars of top-grade spiritual water, one of which was the dark Yuan water obtained from Kuntong, and the other was obtained from Kunsong.

After killing Kunsong that day, he fought with the girl of Zhuyan Baigu Sect and had no time to check the treasures obtained from Kunsong.

Later, he checked and found that Kunsong had few treasures. The most valuable ones were a jar of top-grade spiritual water and a space spiritual material.

In addition, there were more than 300 top-grade spiritual stones and several 800-year-old spiritual herbs. There were no thousand-year-old spiritual herbs and top-grade spiritual stones, which should have been refined by him.

After leaving Zhiyuan Sect, Chen Yuan rushed back to Lingyun Sect, took away the spiritual materials and stones, and then went to visit the elder of Tianxuan Sect. (End of this chapter)
