Nine Transformations of the True Spirit

Time flies, and half a year has passed in a flash.

Chen Yuan's cultivation has reached the peak of the Qi Refining Stage, and he has not made any progress. He has spent all his time on refining magic tools.

He has many magic tools, including the Chixiao Sword, the Seven Star Blade, the Dingguang Mirror, the Silver Gang Sword, and the Purple Bee Needle, all of which are extraordinary.

Four of them were recently acquired by Chen Yuan. Only by refining them carefully can he use them as easily as his arms in the battle.

Fortunately, it is relatively easy to refine magic tools. Chen Yuan uses his magic power to warm them up every day. After four months, except for the Seven Star Blade, which is more difficult to control, he can send and receive the other magic tools at will.

During this period, Mo Jingchun sent Chen Yuan another purple leaf lotus.

Chen Yuan refined four soul-restoring pills and gave two to Mo Jingchun.

In addition, he drew starlight to his body to restore his magic power.

If you are short of elixirs, you can take an elixir-making task, make three furnaces of Yuhua Pills, and secretly keep a few of them, which can also earn good deeds.

On this day, after Chen Yuan drew the starlight to infuse his body, he took the last Yuhua Pill in his hand and meditated to practice.

After his mana was fully restored, he walked out of the cave and went to the Alchemy Pavilion.

It had been two months since the last time he refined Yuhua Pills.

The elixirs were used up, so it was a good time to replenish some.

Chen Yuan came to the Alchemy Pavilion to receive tasks many times, and he was very familiar with the disciples on duty in the Alchemy Pavilion. After receiving the tasks with ease, he took the spiritual herbs issued by the disciples on duty and came to the Earth Fire Hall.

The short and fat disciple who was on duty at the Earth Fire Hall today was the one Chen Yuan met when he came to participate in the alchemy test.

He still regarded Chen Yuan as a disciple of a master of alchemy in the Alchemy Pavilion, and believed that he had great hope of becoming a master of alchemy in the future and successfully building a foundation, so he was extremely respectful.

"Brother Chen, you came at the right time. The earth fire room with the strongest earth fire power is just empty..."

Facing the attentive short and fat disciple, Chen Yuan just smiled indifferently and didn't take it to heart.

And it was this attitude that made the short and fat disciple more humble.

...

Chen Yuan received an alchemy task this time. It took him twenty-one days to refine three furnaces of pills.

After more than a year of entry, his success rate in refining late-stage Qi Refining pills has increased to 70%.

A total of twenty-one Yuhua Pills were refined this time. Chen Yuan handed over the task token, identity jade card and ten Yuhua Pills to the on-duty disciple, leaving eleven.

After checking, the on-duty disciple transferred twenty good deeds to Chen Yuan's identity jade card and handed it back.

Chen Yuan took the jade card and walked out of the alchemy pavilion.

As soon as he walked to the door, two disciples walked in from outside, talking and laughing.

"Junior Brother Wen, how could you believe what old man Geng said? The ancient books in the Sutra Pavilion have been read countless times by the senior brothers of all generations. How could there be any secrets left until now?"

"Hey, Senior Brother You, don't say anything. For some reason, the spiritual energy in the spiritual medicine garden where I am on duty has been disordered many times in the past year, and several purple-leaf lotuses have been destroyed inexplicably. I and several senior brothers have been deducted a lot of good deeds by the Alchemy Pavilion, and our progress in cultivation has slowed down. I was confused for a while and wanted to find some clues about the ancient secret realm and the cave of the cultivators, report them to the sect, and exchange some good deeds. I believed the nonsense of old man Geng and stayed in the Sutra Pavilion for two days. I never thought that he, a foundation-building cultivator, only knew how to brag..."

The voices of the two people reached Chen Yuan's ears. He was moved and drove the flying boat to the Sutra Pavilion.

After entering the sect, he never went to the Sutra Pavilion again. If he hadn't met these two disciples today, he would have almost forgotten the old man Geng who guarded the Sutra Pavilion.

This person has a very bad reputation among the disciples of Lingyun Sect. Senior Brother Yuan, Mo Jingchun, and the two disciples he met today all sneered at him, and did not respect him at all because he was a foundation-building cultivator.

But Senior Brother Yuan and Mo Jingchun said that Old Man Geng had entered the secret realm of Dongxu Mountain and obtained a five-hundred-year-old spiritual herb that was enough to refine a pill for the Jindan period. He exchanged it for a foundation-building pill from the sect and successfully built his foundation.

Mo Jingchun talked about this matter when chatting with Chen Yuan, and it caused a sensation at the time.

The secret realm of Dongxu Mountain is extremely dangerous, and the disciples of various sects are ruthless in order to compete for spiritual herbs.

Those who can escape from it unscathed and gain something are 99% of those with high means.

But Old Man Geng had just entered the tenth level of Qi Refining at that time, but he took out a five-hundred-year-old spiritual herb and many hundred-year-old spiritual herbs, which was extremely surprising.

After he exchanged for the foundation-building pill, someone had the idea of ​​​​taking the foundation-building pill.

But old man Geng hid in the mountain gate and cultivated to the peak of the tenth level of Qi Refining. He took the foundation-building pill and successfully built his foundation in one fell swoop.

After the carp leaped over the dragon gate, old man Geng was also very self-aware. He did not expect to continue to improve his cultivation and immediately became a deacon disciple.

But he was born as a casual cultivator, without any skills, shallow connections, and low strength. He accepted several sect tasks that required fighting, but all failed. Finally, he was sent to the Sutra Pavilion to spend the rest of his life.

But the Qi Refining disciples in the sect did not know the inside story and were quite in awe of this legendary foundation-building cultivator.

Some people read too many legends and dramas in the secular world, and even thought he was a hidden master like a sweeping monk, and they flattered him a lot.

Later, a disciple who entered the sect through the Ascension Conference heard about the legendary deeds of old man Geng and went to the Sutra Pavilion to ask for advice on entering the secret realm of Dongxu Mountain.

Old Man Geng was not shy about sharing his knowledge, and was very enthusiastic in teaching everyone, but he wanted to charge a lot of spirit stones.

However, the experience of entering the secret realm of Dongxu Mountain was extremely valuable, and Old Man Geng was a foundation-building cultivator, so it was reasonable for him to charge some spirit stones.

But after the next trip to Dongxu Mountain, almost all those who listened to Old Man Geng's experience died in the secret realm.

The few who survived were extremely angry and went to Old Man Geng to ask for an explanation.

It turned out that they followed the experience taught by Old Man Geng and joined forces to search for spiritual grass after entering Dongxu Mountain. However, they suffered heavy casualties. These few people were lucky enough to survive.

At the same time, it was unknown who reported that Old Man Geng was weak and failed repeatedly in sect missions.

From then on, Old Man Geng became notorious, but he could barely maintain his dignity by relying on his status as a foundation-building monk.

And he also needs to provide training for his grandson who lives in Lingyunfang City, so he continues to use the experience of the secret realm of Dongxu Mountain and the ancient books in the Sutra Pavilion to deceive the new disciples.

Every year there are people who are fooled, some who have just started and don’t know the inside story, and some who know that Old Geng’s words are exaggerated, but are pretentious and think that they can find opportunities hidden in the pile of old papers.

But as time went by, Old Man Geng became more and more famous among the Lingyun Sect, and fewer and fewer people were deceived by him.

I didn't expect to meet someone who was deceived by Old Man Geng today.

When Mo Jingchun talked about Old Man Geng, his slightly mocking expression reappeared in front of Chen Yuan's eyes.

Mo Jingchun had been to the secret realm of Dongxu Mountain and knew how dangerous it was. He looked down upon people like Old Man Geng who relied on luck to pick up spiritual herbs and talked nonsense.

But Chen Yuan is somewhat interested in Old Man Geng. He was able to escape from Dongxu Mountain and even picked up rare spiritual herbs. It seems a bit far-fetched to explain it simply by luck.

Moreover, the disciples who listened to Old Man Geng's words did not find nothing in the secret realm of Dongxu Mountain. It was just that the restrictions they encountered were too powerful, and they suffered heavy casualties.

In more than seven months, Chen Yuan will enter the secret realm of Dongxu Mountain. Regardless of whether it is useful or not, it is not a bad thing to learn more about Dongxu Mountain.

Anyway, the twenty or thirty spiritual stones that Old Man Geng collected were just a drop in the bucket to him.

…

The Alchemy Pavilion is not far from the Scripture Collection Pavilion. Chen Yuan's imperial envoy Fei Zhou arrived at the door of the Scripture Collection Pavilion in only half a quarter of an hour.

Just like the day he entered, the Sutra Pavilion was still deserted, with few people coming.

He put away the flying boat, stepped in, and came to Old Man Geng.

He was leaning on the recliner, holding a book with a yellow cover in his hand, and was flipping through it boredly.

Seeing Chen Yuan approaching, he put the books on the desks in front of him, showed a kind smile, and said:

"Master nephew wants to enter the Sutra Collection Pavilion and read classical books?"

Chen Yuan stopped and saluted Old Man Geng:

"Disciple Chen Yuan has met Master Geng. He came here to ask about the secret realm of Dongxu Mountain."

When Old Man Geng heard this, the smile on his face became more kind:

"This is easy to say. As long as thirty low-grade spiritual stones are needed, I will pass on all the experience of entering Dongxu Mountain to my nephew. I will gain a lot by keeping my nephew in Dongxu Mountain."

Chen Yuan touched the storage bag, and thirty more spiritual stones appeared out of thin air on the table in front of Old Man Geng.

"Thank you, Master Geng."

Old Man Geng's eyes shone, and he immediately raised his hand and put the spirit stone into his storage bag, as if he was afraid that Chen Yuan would regret it.

"Ahem!"

He cleared his throat and said:

"I had just entered the tenth level of Qi Refining, but in order to build the foundation pill, I still ventured into the secret realm of Dongxu Mountain. My nephew should know that Dongxu Mountain is extremely dangerous. Not only are there many monsters blocking the way, but also disciples from various sects. They are like crazy demons, fighting and fighting for spiritual herbs.”

"My cultivation is shallow, so I am no match for them. I can only avoid others and walk to remote places, hoping to pick up a few rare spiritual herbs in exchange for a Foundation Establishment Pill."

"At first, I picked up a few Breitling Grasses, but they were the most common ones. They were of little value and could only be entered deep into Dongxu Mountain. I deliberately waited for a few days until everyone else entered the core area of ​​Dongxu Mountain. , I just set off to avoid the fighting."

"After I entered the depths of Dongxu Mountain, I had great luck and found an extremely secret elixir garden. The restrictions were not strong. I picked a five-hundred-year-old elixir and a dozen hundred-year-old elixir, and then returned to I hid on the outskirts of Dongxu Mountain until the secret realm was opened. I gave the spiritual grass to the sect in exchange for a foundation-building pill, and successfully built the foundation."

Old Man Geng spoke eloquently and detailed his experience after entering Dongxu Mountain.

After hearing this, Chen Yuan frowned.

What Old Man Geng said was too bizarre and sounded like random fabrication.

Dongxu Mountain is an ancient secret realm with monsters and beasts everywhere. How could there be a spiritual medicine garden?

There's something going on this afternoon, so Chapter 2 may be later.
