Nine Transformations of the True Spirit.

Chapter 133: White Rainbow Elixir
Boom!

When the two sides were confronting each other, there was a dazzling flash of lightning, followed by a sudden thunder that shook the heaven and earth.

Dark clouds hung low in the sky, almost pressing down on the top of the mountain. Everything around was gloomy, the air seemed to become solidified, and the atmosphere was extremely depressing.

The battle between Jindan cultivators seemed to be about to break out.

At this time, the white-haired old man from Ziyang Sect suddenly bowed to the elders of the four sects and said, "My fellow Taoists, please listen to what I have to say."

Old Monster Qu turned his gaze and said, "Old Man Qi, do you have anything else to say?"

Everyone looked over as well. The white-haired old man was very famous in the Qi State's immortal cultivation world. He entered Taoism at the same time as Old Monster Qu and had practiced Taoism for more than four hundred years. He held a very high position. Since he had spoken, everyone had to give him some face.

The white-haired old man said calmly: "This matter has nothing to do with Junior Brother Xie. It was done by Qi. I hope you fellow Taoists will forgive me."

As soon as these words were spoken, the thunder from the sky suddenly stopped, and even the lightning that was flashing through the clouds became sparse.

Xie Chaohong immediately turned his head and glanced at the white-haired old man, his eyes flashing, but he didn't say much.

Old Monster Qu said: "In this case, please give me an explanation, Elder Qi!"

At the same time, the tip of the black flying sword behind the handsome Taoist turned and pointed at the white-haired old man, trembling slightly, as if ready to strike.

The white-haired old man closed his eyes slightly, lowered his head, and said in a calm voice: "Forty years ago, I accidentally got a body cultivation method, from which I researched a secret method that can implant the demon pill into the body of a Qi Refining cultivator to temporarily enhance his strength. So I suggested to the sect to implant the demon pill into the bodies of several Qi Refining disciples, and then send them into the secret realm to collect spiritual herbs, which led to what happened today."

He paused for a moment, then looked up at Xie Chaohong: "Junior Brother Xie didn't agree with this. First, implanting the demon pill into the body of a Qi-refining disciple has a very low success rate, which is also against the harmony of nature and not the right way. Second, doing so violates the rule that all sects have shared the secret realm of Dongxu Mountain for thousands of years, so he strongly opposed it. But Qi took advantage of his seniority and forced the matter to be settled, but he also promised Junior Brother Xie that this time, the disciples of our sect would only collect spiritual herbs when entering the secret realm, and would never attack the disciples of other sects..."

The elder of Mingyin Valley shouted, "Did the magic weapon of our sect disciple find its way into the storage bag of your Ziyang sect disciple?"

The white-haired old man was interrupted, but he did not get angry. He continued calmly: "I don't know about this matter either. It should be that the disciples under my tutelage acted on their own and were eager for quick success, so they did such a cruel thing."

Old Monster Qu stared at the white-haired old man and said word by word: "Old Man Qi, you and I have known each other for more than 300 years. Do you think that you can clear yourself of the relationship by saying 'I don't know'? Without the permission of the Jindan Elder, how dare these Qi Refining disciples risk the wrath of the world?"

Boom!

A bolt of lightning descended and exploded in mid-air, landing right behind Old Monster Qu. In the flash of lightning, his hair and beard turned white, making him look awe-inspiring.

The white-haired old man bowed to the Jindan cultivators and Xie Chaohong, and said, "Although this was done by our sect's disciples, I was wrong to research this secret technique and not discipline them strictly. I am willing to apologize to all of you fellow Taoists... Please accept these four bottles of Baihong Pills."

After saying that, he stroked his storage bag, and four jade bottles appeared out of thin air in front of him. He raised his hand and pushed them, and they slowly flew towards the Taoist Yingting, Jin Luoheng, Old Monster Qu, and the elder of Mingyin Valley.

Hearing the three words "Baihong Pill", all the Jindan cultivators present were moved.

Jin Luoheng and the others took the jade bottle, injected their spiritual consciousness into it, and after investigating it, their expressions eased a little.

Ji Bin and another elder from Mingyin Valley did not receive any pills, and both showed regret in their eyes.

The Baihong Pill can help cultivators in the middle and late stages of the Jindan stage to increase their cultivation, and is extremely precious.

This bottle of elixir can help Jin Luoheng, Taoist Ying Ting, and the elder of Mingyin Valley save ten years of hard work.

Only Old Monster Qu didn't care about the pill, but he would not give it back and just put it into his storage bag.

The white-haired old man gave out four bottles of Baihong Pills at once, and the aura of the four elders could not help but ease, and they were no longer as aggressive as before.

There was no more thunder in the sky, and the thick dark clouds became much thinner, with a few beams of sunlight shining through the gaps in the clouds.

But the white-haired old man knew that this alone was not enough to calm everyone's anger.

He bowed his head again and said, "Although my disciples did something evil, fortunately, I was punished by this nephew Chen, and it did not lead to an irreparable mistake. My sect also failed to harvest many spiritual herbs. It is better to forget it. I promise that I will never use this secret technique to implant demon pills into my disciples in the future. After returning to the sect, I will ask the headmaster for punishment."

After everyone took the pills and listened to his words, they felt that what the white-haired old man said made sense, and their expressions relaxed.

This time, the Zi Yang Sect lost more than it gained. Not only did it fail to harvest many spiritual herbs, it also lost the lives of dozens of disciples. Only about twenty people returned, less than one-fifth of the number of people who entered the secret realm. It can be said that the sect was seriously injured.

The white-haired old man has taken on all the blame, and it would be a bit too much if he continues to hold on to it.

The handsome Taoist priest retracted his flying sword, and the others restrained their pressure. The dark clouds in the sky slowly dissipated, and the sun shone again.

Xie Chaohong saw the change in everyone's expressions and knew that this hurdle had been overcome. He secretly sent a message to the white-haired old man, "Brother Qi, thank you for helping me out. I will definitely repay you handsomely in the future."

This trip to the secret realm was planned by him, and the white-haired old man was only responsible for performing the secret technique. But the white-haired old man took the initiative to take on this matter for him, which made Xie Chaohong very grateful.

The white-haired old man said calmly, "Junior Brother Xie has extraordinary talent. He may be able to glimpse the Nascent Soul realm in the future. If you lose face because of this, the elders in the sect may have prejudices against you, and your path will be hindered. My life is coming to an end, and my reputation is useless. It is better to throw it away and keep a little dignity for Junior Brother Xie. But please don't forget to find a disciple with physical cultivation talent for me. This is my last wish."

Xie Chaohong saw the white-haired old man mention this matter several times, and knew that this matter was very important to him, so he replied solemnly: "Brother, don't worry, within three years, no, within a year, I will search all over Qi State to find a good disciple for you!"

The favor he owed this time was huge, and the four bottles of Baihong Pills were priceless. Only by accomplishing this could he repay it.

At this point, the matter was settled. The four sect elders no longer asked for explanations from the Zi Yang Sect and continued to maintain the Ling Guang Sect.

At this time, several colorful streams of light flew out from the gate and turned into human figures falling down. Seeing this, the dozen or so disciples from various sects who came out with Chen Yuan all walked towards the area where their own sect was located and made way.

Chen Yuan lowered his head and walked behind Ji Bin, but was stopped by Xie Chaohong: "Wait! Junior Brother Chen, please stay."

Chen Yuan stopped and bowed to Xie Chaohong: "The junior respectfully listens to the senior's teachings."

Everyone's eyes turned to him again, and Jin Luoheng frowned slightly: "Xie Daoyou, what else do you want?"

Xie Chaohong looked at Chen Yuan with a calm expression, but his words were filled with a hint of coldness: "The matter of our sect has been resolved, but Junior Brother Chen has not yet proven whether what he said is true. What should we do if another foundation-building cultivator from Lingyun Sect enters the secret realm in the future?"

The Zi Yang Sect has lost face in front of all the other sects, and the culprit is this little foundation-building cultivator who came out of nowhere. How could Xie Chaohong let him go?
Moreover, there are many mysteries hidden in the fact that this person broke through the foundation in the secret realm. This matter is related to the secrets of Dongxu Mountain, and he must not be allowed to get away with it.

Chen Yuan was not panicked. Over the past ten years, he had imagined countless times the scenario of being interrogated by Jindan cultivators from various sects, and he already had a plan in place.

But just as he was about to answer, Jin Luoheng raised his hand to stop him, then turned to look at Xie Chaohong and said with a smile: "Jin also has a question, if Ziyang Sect implants the demon pills into the bodies of Qi Refining disciples in the future and sends them into the secret realm to collect spiritual herbs, what will happen?"

Xie Chaohong said: "I can assure you, Mr. Jin, that this will never happen again."

Jin Luoheng was unmoved and asked, "How can you guarantee this, Brother Xie?"

Xie Chaohong said coldly: "Of course, I guarantee it with the reputation of my Ziyang Sect!"

Jin Luoheng smiled and said, "I, Jin, also guarantee with the reputation of my Lingyun Sect that I will never send foundation-building disciples in from now on."

Xie Chaohong said: "Then those who have broken through the foundation in the secret realm are not included in this list?"

Jin Luoheng shook his head and said, "Our sect will no longer have any disciples who can break through to the foundation-building stage in the secret realm."

Xie Chaohong said coldly: "Just based on your words?"

Jin Luoheng narrowed his eyes and his tone turned cold: "Fellow Daoist Xie can say it, but I can't? Is the reputation of your Ziyang Sect higher than that of my Lingyun Sect?"

After hearing this, Xie Chaohong was at a loss for words.

In his mind, the Zi Yang Sect is a long-standing sect and is naturally far superior to the Ling Yun Sect.

But if you dare to say these words, you will offend the five major sects together, which you must never say.

Xie Chaohong's heart moved, and he sent a message to the cultivator named Zou from Guiyuan Sect: "Daoyou Zou, please force me."

The cultivator surnamed Zou was quite resentful of the Zi Yang Sect for deceiving him, but although Gui Yuan Sect and Zi Yang Sect were allies in name, they were actually masters and servants.

He could only suppress his anger and said, "Fellow Daoist Jin, what you said is wrong. Since we know the secret technique of Ziyang Sect, we can check whether the disciples of Ziyang Sect have demon pills implanted in their bodies in the future. This is not a difficult task. But if your sect has another person like this nephew Chen who breaks through the foundation in the secret realm, we are too far away to do anything. If we don't make it clear now, it will not be a good thing for your sect's future trips to the secret realm. What do you think?"

Jin Luoheng frowned slightly. Now that the cultivator named Zou had said this, he could no longer defend Chen Yuan.

The cultivator surnamed Xie was somewhat dissatisfied with what the cultivator surnamed Zou said. How could a disciple of Zi Yang Sect allow him to send a Jin Dan cultivator to inspect him?
But in order to force Chen Yuan to tell him the secrets of the secret realm of Dongxu Mountain, he could only agree with what the cultivator named Zou said.

Taoist Master Yingting, Old Monster Qu, and the Jindan elder of Mingyin Valley also did not want to see Lingyun Sect dominate the secret realm. Although they did not speak out in agreement, they did not try to stop it either.

Ji Bin sent a message to Jin Luoheng: "Brother Jin, let me search their souls. If you don't give a joint explanation to all the sects, they won't let it go."

Jin Luoheng still did not answer. He looked at Chen Yuan and said softly, "Nephew Chen, do you have anything to say?"
