Nine Transformations of the True Spirit

Chen Yuan's heart moved and he said with a smile: "I have also heard of the name of Tianxuan Auction, but I didn't know that there were even Yuanying monks participating. I am really ignorant. Can you please give me some details?"

Lu Hong looked surprised: "Fellow Taoist actually doesn't know about this? That's right, Taoist friend Xuanyuan entered the Demon Realm twenty years ago, so he probably hasn't told his friends about this yet."

He shook his head and explained: "On the surface, the Tianxuan Auction is only attended by foundation-building and pill-forming monks, but after the conference, there will be an auction specifically for Nascent Soul monks."

"Normally, fellow Taoists from various sects sit in the sect, practicing in seclusion, and there are not many opportunities for communication. At this time, there are at least twenty fellow Taoists participating in the auction meeting, and as many as thirty or forty people."

"The spiritual materials required by fellow Taoists are relatively rare, but they have appeared several times in auctions in the past. Fellow Taoists can come to Tianxuanfang City to try them, and you should be able to gain something."

Chen Yuan's eyes flashed, and he cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, fellow Taoist, for clarifying my doubts. Four years later, I must witness the scene of Tianxuan Auction."

With a smile on his face, Lu Hong took out a jade medal from the mustard ring and handed it to Chen Yuan: "This is a token for participating in the auction. Please keep it, fellow Taoist, so that you don't have to collect it separately. This can save you a lot of money." Less trouble."

Chen Yuan took the jade token, pondered for a moment, and said, "My friend, which elder of your sect will be in charge of the auction? I want to auction a few spiritual materials."

Lu Hong said with a smile: "Elder Zhang of our sect is in charge of the auction. He is worried that there are not enough treasures in the auction. I will invite him here tomorrow and ask fellow Taoists to prepare spiritual materials."

Chen Yuan understood in his heart and said with a smile: "Then I have to thank you, my fellow Taoist. The spiritual materials I brought out should satisfy Elder Zhang."

The two chatted for a while, and then Chen Yuan personally sent Lu Hong out the door.

…

The next day, Lu Hong and another old man came to the courtyard where Chen Yuan lived.

Chen Yuan welcomed the two people into the main hall and seated them separately.

Lu Hong smiled and said: "Fellow Daoist Chen, this is Elder Zhang of our sect. He has prepared all the Tianxuan auctions. He can distinguish all kinds of spiritual materials, elixirs, magic weapons and demon elixirs at a glance, even ancient wonders. He also knows a lot.”

"Senior Brother Zhang, this is Daoyou Chen. He is an extremely rare physical cultivator. He has a close friendship with Daoyou He from the White Crane Sect. Although he had a baby not long ago, he once defeated Daoist Dukun from the Ziyang Sect in a fight and cut off one of his arms. Very extraordinary.”

Chen Yuan's heart moved, and he bowed his hands to the old man: "Chen Yuan, I have met fellow Daoist Zhang."

Elder Zhang returned the gesture: "You're welcome, fellow Taoist. I once had a relationship with Taoist Dukun. This man's cultivation level is not low, but he can't survive a few rounds at the hands of fellow Taoist. I admire him."

Chen Yuan glanced at Lu Hong and said with a smile: "I just have some brute strength, not worth mentioning."

Nearly four years had passed since the Six Sects Alliance, so it was not surprising for Tianxuan Sect to learn about this.

However, it can also be seen from this that although the four Xuanzongs are called together, they are also superior and inferior.

When he visited Zhenren He before, Zhenren He didn't know about it, and the same was true for Elder Peng of Zhiyuanmen.

However, Lu Hong was able to tell this matter in one sentence. Tianxuan Sect was well-informed, ranking above the White Crane Sect and Zhiyuan Sect, and was worthy of being called the number one in the righteous path.

The three of them chatted for a while, and then Elder Zhang turned to the topic and gently stroked his long beard: "What kind of spiritual materials are you going to auction, Fellow Daoist Chen?"

Chen Yuan raised his sleeves and flicked his sleeves, and three wooden boxes appeared out of thin air on the table. They were all made of five-hundred-year-old spirit wood. Each one was about a foot in size. They were attached with spirit-sealing talismans, and not a single bit of spiritual energy escaped.

He smiled and said: "Please take a look at it, fellow Taoist Zhang."

"Do you, Fellow Daoist Chen, want to test my eyesight?" Elder Zhang smiled slightly, raised his hand and took a wooden box into his hand.

He took off the spirit sealing talisman and opened the lid of the box. A hot spiritual energy came out, and the temperature in the hall suddenly increased.

Inside is a piece of withered yellow wood, about half a foot long, with a layer of red light shining faintly.

Elder Zhang's eyes flashed and he raised his head: "If I read it correctly, this is a piece of flame wood, a fire-attribute spiritual material with a trace of wood element aura, which can be used as the main material for refining high-level magic weapons."

Chen Yuan praised: "Zhang Dao has a friendly eye."

"What does Fellow Daoist Chen want to exchange for this piece of Yanli wood?" Elder Zhang asked.

Chen Yuan smiled slightly: "There are two more spiritual materials. Fellow Taoist, I'd better look at them together before talking about the others."

"Okay, I was a little too hasty." Elder Zhang nodded, closed the lid, took the second wooden box into his hands, took off the spirit-sealing talisman, and opened the lid.

"This is..." His expression changed slightly, and he stared at the contents of the box without blinking.

When Lu Hong saw this, he was curious. He turned around and looked over. He saw a piece of rotten green wood placed in the box, about a foot in size, which just filled the entire wooden box. It looked ordinary and unremarkable.

But he didn't dare to have the slightest contempt. Something that could change Elder Zhang's color must be something big.

Elder Zhang picked up the piece of rotten wood and inspected it carefully, his eyes becoming more solemn.

After a long time, he breathed a sigh of relief: "If I read it correctly, this should be a piece of Tianluo wood."

Chen Yuan nodded slightly: "Taoist friends have good eyesight."

This piece of top-quality spiritual wood was the last spiritual material he got from Tian You.

"Tianluo wood?" Lu Hong's expression changed, staring closely at the piece of rotten wood, "Is this the Tianluo wood that reaches the sky and the earth, and can be used to refine the wood elemental treasure?"

Elder Zhang shook his head: "Only ten thousand-year Tianluo wood can be used to refine spiritual treasures. This piece of Tianluo wood is only more than 1,200 years old and is too small in size. It can only be used to refine high-level magic weapons. "

Lu Hong was slightly disappointed, but he was still full of praise: "The Millennium Tianluo Wood is also very good. After it is refined into a magic weapon, it only needs to be carefully cultivated for hundreds of thousands of years, and it is very possible to become a top-level magic weapon."

Elder Zhang put the Tianluo tree back into the box: "The Tianluo tree is becoming increasingly rare. I saw a 1,700-year-old Tianluo tree three hundred years ago when I was just giving birth..."

He picked up the last wooden box, took off the spirit-sealing talisman, and opened the lid.

"Huh?" He frowned, with a trace of doubt in his eyes.

Lu Hong looked over. Inside the box was a purple gold alms bowl, containing a bowl of clear water.

He dispersed his consciousness and reached into the alms bowl, but was swallowed up like a mud cow entering the sea.

Lu Hong's face turned pale and his eyes were filled with surprise and uncertainty: "This bowl of spiritual water..."

Elder Zhang looked solemn, raised his hand to perform the formula, and poured a trace of true energy into the alms bowl. Then, he changed the formulas in his hand one after another, continuously injecting true energy.

After a long time, he finally stopped and murmured: "If I read it correctly, this should be a bowl of Youlan water."

"Is this Youlan Water?" Lu Hong's pupils shrank and he stared at the purple gold alms bowl.

Elder Zhang said slowly: "Yes, this Youlan Water only exists at a depth of several thousand feet. It is difficult to find traces and is extremely rare."

"I remember that the last time Youlan Shui appeared was fifteen hundred years ago, when Master Xie of Jiangxian Mountain went deep into the boundless sea and found a jar."

Chen Yuan smiled and said: "I also accidentally entered the cave of an ancient monk and got these spiritual materials."

Elder Zhang looked at him deeply and said, "Fellow Daoist Chen is really lucky."

Chen Yuan knew that he would not believe it, but with his strength, it was nothing to come up with a few top-quality spiritual materials, and there was no need to explain too much.

He changed the topic: "Can these three top-quality spiritual materials still be able to be discerned by fellow Taoist Zhang and be included in the auction?"

Elder Zhang said seriously: "Fellow Daoist Chen took out three top-grade spiritual materials in succession, as well as rare treasures such as Tianluo Wood and Youlan Water, which opened my eyes."

"Not only can it enter the auction, it can even be used as the finale. I wonder if you want to exchange for the best spiritual stones, or barter?"

"Barter."

"Oh? What do fellow Taoists want in exchange?"

Chen Yuan pondered for a while and said: "I still need five spiritual materials: Xuanji Jade, Jiuqu Yellow Sand, Five Elements Iron, Sanming Stone, and Chenguang Iron. I will exchange Yanli Wood for Xuanji Jade, Sanming Stone, and Chenguang Iron. Tian Luo Mu and Youlan Shui each exchanged for Five Elements Iron and Jiuqu Yellow Sand."

Elder Zhang frowned: "Three high-grade spiritual materials, such as Xuanji Jade, Shenguang Iron, and Sanmingshi, are relatively rare. Although they are somewhat rare, there should be many fellow Taoists who can produce them."

"But the Five Elements Iron and the Jiuqu Yellow Sand are rare treasures. In exchange for Tianluo Wood and Youlan Water, it is naturally more than enough, but there is no guarantee that anyone can take them out."

Chen Yuan sighed: "I don't know, the Five Elements Iron and the Nine-Bend Yellow Sand are extremely precious, otherwise I wouldn't have offered these two spiritual materials in exchange."

Five Elements Iron and Nine-Bend Yellow Sand are the two most precious spiritual materials needed to repair the ancient teleportation array. They are not rare in Jiuxian Continent, but they are rare in Donghua Continent.

Lu Hong raised his head at this time and looked at Elder Zhang.

Chen Yuan's heart moved, and he quietly dispersed his consciousness and captured a few words: "Senior Brother Yang said that the best formation... is the Youlan Water... you must exchange it for it, and you must not... wander..."

"Junior brother, don't worry... I... know it..."

The two communicated in secret, but did not set up a spiritual barrier.

They probably didn't expect that Chen Yuan, who had just given birth to a baby, had a spiritual consciousness comparable to that of a monk in the middle stage of Nascent Soul.

But in order not to disturb the two of them, Chen Yuan still withdrew his consciousness and waited quietly for the two of them to complete the transmission.

Without letting Chen Yuan wait for too long, Elder Zhang put down the wooden box containing Youlan Water and said with a smile: "To be honest, I am very interested in this bowl of Youlan Water. I wonder if Fellow Daoist Chen can part with it?"

Chen Yuan looked surprised: "Do you have the Five Elements Iron or the Nine-Bend Yellow Sand in your hand, Daoist Fellow Zhang?"

Elder Zhang looked a little embarrassed: "Such a rare treasure, I have never heard of it or seen it. I hope to exchange it for the best spiritual stone. The price will definitely satisfy fellow Taoist. What do you think, fellow Taoist?"

Chen Yuan looked disappointed and shook his head slightly: "Please forgive me, fellow Daoist Zhang, for I only exchange these two spiritual materials and have no interest in the best spiritual stones."

Elder Zhang said: "Although I don't have Five Elements Iron and Jiuqu Yellow Sand in my hands, I do have Sanming Stone and Chenguang Iron, and I am willing to give them all."

"Fellow Taoist can also ask for other conditions, whether it is top-grade spiritual stones or thousand-year-old spiritual grass. I just hope that fellow Taoist can exchange this bowl of Youlan water for me."

Chen Yuan looked embarrassed, lowered his head and thought for a while, and said slowly: "Fellow Taoist Zhang loves this Bo Youlan water so much, and I am also willing to be beautiful as an adult. As long as Taoist friend brings out thirty thousand-year-old spiritual grass, this Bo Youlan water will The water belongs to fellow Taoist." Elder Zhang shook his head repeatedly: "Don't be ridiculous, fellow Taoist Chen, I can't get thirty thousand-year-old spiritual grass. Even if I can get it, I won't exchange it for a bowl of Youlan water."

"Twenty plants, I have given birth to a baby soon, and I need a thousand-year-old spiritual grass to refine the elixir and improve my cultivation." Chen Yuan said.

Elder Zhang still shook his head: "Twenty plants is a bit too much. After all, Youlan Water is just a bowl of spiritual water, not a high-level magic weapon. What's more, I have to bring out Sanming Stone and Shenguang Iron, which are also among the top-grade spiritual materials. precious……"

Chen Yuan smiled slightly: "I can guarantee that there is no other person on the Nine Immortals Continent who can produce a bowl of Youlan Water and twenty thousand-year-old spiritual grass, not one less."

Elder Zhang frowned. Seeing this, Lu Hong interjected: "Fellow Daoist Chen, to be honest, this bowl of Youlan Water is not for Elder Zhang's own use, but the second largest formation outside the Demon Realm, which requires Youlan Water as a material. ”

"Twenty thousand-year-old spiritual grass is indeed a lot. Can fellow Taoist ask for a lower price?"

Chen Yuan's expression became solemn: "It turns out that this Bo Youlan Water is needed to set up the formation. As a monk in Donghua Continent, I must not ignore the overall situation."

"Let's do this. As long as your sect can produce eighteen thousand-year-old spiritual grasses, plus a Sanming Stone and a Sunlight Iron, I'm willing to hand over the Youlan Water."

Lu Hong smiled and said: "Eighteen thousand-year-old spiritual grass is still a bit too much..."

Chen Yuan frowned: "Fellow Daoist Lu, the eighteen thousand-year-old spiritual grass is already at the lowest price."

"Youlan Water is so rare. I am very lucky, so I was lucky enough to get a bowl."

"Although the thousand-year-old spiritual grass is precious, each sect can only produce a few."

"In exchange for Millennium Spiritual Grass and two high-grade spiritual materials in exchange for Youlan Water, I actually suffered some losses."

Lu Hong also knew that what he said was reasonable, and said helplessly: "What my fellow Taoist said is true, but using eighteen thousand-year-old spiritual grass in exchange for a top-grade spiritual material is really too much, and our sect really can't afford it..."

Chen Yuan pondered for a while and asked: "How many thousand-year-old spiritual herbs can your sect produce?"

Lu Hong and Elder Zhang looked at each other and said, "Fellow Taoist, please wait a moment. Lu can't make the decision yet, so he still needs to ask the head brother for instructions."

As he spoke, he took out a golden telegraph note from the mustard ring, put it to his mouth, said a few words silently, raised his hand and threw it, and the telegraph note turned into a golden stream of light and flew out of the main hall.

Only a quarter of an hour later, another golden transmission note flew back.

Lu Hong raised his hand to catch it and listened attentively. The transmission note burned and turned into a ball of golden light, slowly dissipating in the air.

Lu Hong looked at Chen Yuan: "Senior brother, the leader, said that you can give out ten thousand-year-old spiritual grass in exchange for Youlan Water, or you can give out a top-quality spiritual material that is no less than Youlan Water. Fellow Daoist Chen can choose on his own. "

Chen Yuan shook his head: "Ten thousand-year-old spiritual grass is too few. I only need Five Elements Iron and Nine-Bend Yellow Sand, and I am not interested in other top-quality spiritual materials..."

Lu Hong said solemnly: "Senior brother, the leader, has issued an order to switch to this bowl of Youlan water. I hope Fellow Daoist Chen will give it another thought."

"It's just a matter of changing to a top-quality spiritual material. You can also exchange it for Five Elements Iron and Jiuqu Yellow Sand at the auction."

His tone was a little heavier than before, with a hint of chill in it.

Although Chen Yuan has a friendship with Zhenren He, he is not an elder of the White Crane Sect after all. The Tianxuan Sect is determined to win this bowl of Youlan Water.

Chen Yuan didn't care and said with a smile: "Friend Lu, please be patient. I'm not trying to embarrass your sect. If your sect can't get the Millennium Spiritual Grass, you can exchange it for the eighth-level demon pill."

Lu Hong's expression softened slightly: "Our sect has some eighth-level demon pills. How many do you need, fellow Taoist?"

Chen Yuan said: "I don't need much, just eight pills."

Lu Hong's eyes widened: "Fellow Taoist, don't be ridiculous. The eighth-level demon elixir is more precious than the thousand-year-old spiritual grass. I can only take out two at most."

"Two is too few, six."

"Three, no more."

"Five, regardless of the type of demon elixir, as long as Guizong comes up with five more eighth-level demon elixirs, Youlan Shui will give them to you immediately."

"Four. In order to set up the formation, our sect has used several demon pills. We can only take out four demon pills at most."

Chen Yuan hesitated for a moment and did not bid immediately. Lu Hong struck while the iron was hot: "As long as Fellow Daoist Chen agrees, Lu will immediately bring out the Spiritual Grass Demonic Pill, Sanming Stone and Shen Guangtie."

Chen Yuan pondered for a while and said: "In fact, in Chen's opinion, Youlan Water is needed to curb the expansion of the Demon Realm. It is not an ordinary top-grade spiritual material, and should be jointly contributed by the nine major sects."

Lu Hong's heart moved: "What Fellow Daoist Chen means is..."

Chen Yuan smiled and said: "If Guizong is willing to give out five demon pills, ten thousand-year-old spiritual grass, Sanming Stone and Shen Guangtie, if anyone asks, I would like to declare to the outside world that Guizong took out twenty thousand-year-old spiritual grass." The spiritual grass was exchanged for a bowl of Youlan water."

A glint flashed in Lu Hong's eyes, and Elder Zhang stroked his beard thoughtfully, seeming to be deep in thought.

Lu Hong shook his head: "Twenty thousand-year-old spiritual grass is too few."

"Twenty-five, how about it?"

"Not enough, thirty plants."

Chen Yuan pondered for a while and said: "Deal!"

Lu Hong smiled: "Please wait a moment, Fellow Daoist Chen, Lu will come as soon as you go."

After saying that, he cupped his fists and bowed, stood up, quickly walked out of the main hall, took up the escape light, and flew towards the Tianxuan Sect's mountain gate.

After Lu Hong left, Elder Zhang stroked his beard and said, "Congratulations to Fellow Daoist Chen for getting what he wanted. I just got thirty thousand-year-old spiritual grass at once... Can Fellow Daoist eat it?"

Chen Yuan picked up the tea cup on the table, took a sip, and said calmly: "I want to see which comrade dares to attack me for the sake of some thousand-year-old spiritual grass, regardless of the overall situation."

His voice was very calm, but there was a hint of evil aura.

Elder Zhang felt a chill in his heart and said with a smile: "Taoist friends have great spirit."

Chen Yuan smiled slightly and put down the tea cup in his hand.

Only children who hold gold in a busy city will worry about people robbing them.

The two talked about their experiences in the world of immortality. After waiting for half an hour, Lu Hong walked into the main hall, and Chen Yuan and Elder Zhang stood up to greet him.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, please take a look." Lu Hong raised his sleeves and with a flick of his sleeve, seventeen wooden boxes appeared out of thin air on the table, densely packed all over the table.

Chen Yuan waved his hand, and the lid of the box opened. Ten thousand-year-old spiritual grasses, a white stone, a black iron block, and five demon pills were placed in sequence.

He spread his consciousness and scanned the many treasures one by one, inspecting them very carefully.

After a while, Chen Yuan nodded slightly, took out seventeen spirit-sealing talismans, pasted them on the wooden box, and put them into the mustard ring.

"This bowl of Youlan water will be given to fellow Taoist Lu." He waved his hand gently, and the purple gold bowl filled with Youlan water flew into Lu Hong's hand.

Lu Hong put it away with a smile on his face.

Under Chen Yuan's suggestion, Tianxuan Sect was able to obtain twenty thousand-year-old spiritual grasses, and exchanged them for Youlan Water at almost no cost.

Chen Yuan was also very satisfied. It would take some time for the news to spread.

By then, he had refined these spiritual grass demon elixirs into elixirs, improved his cultivation level, and was able to break through bottlenecks in his physical body.

Even if the Nascent Soul cultivator came to trouble him, he was not afraid at all, and was able to obtain many treasures legitimately.

After the two completed the transaction, Elder Zhang asked: "Fellow Daoist Chen has already obtained the Sanming Stone and Shenguang Iron. Do you want to exchange this Flame Li Wood for other treasures?"

Chen Yuan pondered for a moment and then named the two top-grade spiritual materials. Elder Zhang was surprised and said, "Fellow Daoist Chen still wants to exchange for spiritual materials?"

Chen Yuan sighed: "I need to refine my natal magic weapon again, and my master is about to give birth to a baby. I also need to prepare some spiritual materials for him."

"The Demon Realm continues to expand, and our sect has to be prepared. The sect-protecting formation needs to be strengthened. These spiritual materials are all necessary."

Elder Zhang calmed down slightly and stroked his beard: "These three spiritual materials are indeed very suitable for setting up formations. However, it is not difficult for the nine major sects to join forces to contain the demon realm. Fellow Daoist Chen does not need to worry too much."

"To be prepared, I have something else in my hands. I want to include it in the auction. Please take a look at it, fellow Taoist." Chen Yuan raised his sleeve and flicked it, and another wooden box appeared on the table.

"Oh? I would like to see what kind of treasures Fellow Daoist Chen can bring out." Elder Zhang picked up the wooden box with great interest, uncovered the sealing talisman, and opened the lid.

A piece of transparent jade came into view, with an orange flame burning quietly in it, exuding a rich fire-attribute aura, but the temperature in the hall did not rise by half.

A trace of doubt flashed in Elder Zhang's eyes, and he raised his hand to create a spell, which landed on the jade stone. The orange flame in the jade stone trembled slightly.

He paused for a moment, then fired another spell, and the orange flames trembled more violently.

Elder Zhang took a deep breath: "If I read it correctly, this should be the best spiritual material, flowing light."

"Liuguanghuo?" A trace of doubt flashed in Lu Hong's eyes.

He does not know the art of searching for ancient times, and he is not a great master in refining weapons. It is already very rare to be able to recognize Tianluo Mu and Youlan Water.

Elder Zhang stared at the orange flames intently and explained: "The Flowing Fire has not appeared in the world for thousands of years. I once thought that this fire has disappeared in Donghua Continent. I didn't expect to see it from the hands of Daoyou Chen. It's really a worthwhile trip." ”

Chen Yuan smiled and said: "Zhang Dao has a good eye. This thing is indeed a flowing light fire. I got it from the ancient monk's cave. I am willing to exchange it for the Nine-bend Yellow Sand or the Five Elements Iron."

Elder Zhang looked at Chen Yuan: "Liuguang Fire is not inferior to Youlan Water, and it has been extinct for thousands of years. It is more precious than Five Elements Iron and Jiuqu Yellow Sand. If you do this, fellow Taoist, I am afraid you will suffer a lot. "

Chen Yuan said: "It doesn't matter. Although the flowing light fire is good, for me, it is not as good as the five elements of iron and the nine-curved yellow sand."

Elder Zhang nodded: "Since fellow Taoist has made a decision, please leave the imprint of your spiritual consciousness. I will keep these three spiritual materials. I guarantee the reputation of Tianxuan Sect and will never use them for other purposes. If there is any violation, He shall be compensated three times." (End of Chapter)
