Nine Transformations of the True Spirit.

Chapter 134: Spiritual Herbs Move People’s Hearts, the Trend is in My Hands

Chen Yuan knew very well that Jin Luoheng was giving him one last chance to argue.

Jin Luoheng has spoken out to protect him several times just now, but he will not continue to bear the pressure from the Jindan cultivators of various sects just for him.

If he still had any bargaining chips, he would use them now.

Fortunately, Chen Yuan was prepared for this, and said solemnly: "Elder Jin, there were people who stayed in the secret realm in the past, and they are still alive after ten years. I was just lucky enough to accidentally enter a spiritual medicine garden and break through the foundation building stage. I don't know how to enter the spiritual medicine garden. When the secret realm is opened next time, you seniors can send your disciples to check the place I mentioned, and you will know whether it is true or not."

These words were well-reasoned, but the cultivator surnamed Zou remained unmoved: "Who knows if what you said is true or not? How about this, you take out all the items on your body and let me check them..."

Chen Yuan said coldly: "I am a disciple of Lingyun Sect, I am afraid it is not my turn to be examined by you!"

The cultivator surnamed Zou had never expected that Chen Yuan would dare to contradict him. He was stunned for a moment, and then flew into a rage: "How dare you, you brat, disrespect this immortal!"

boom!
A powerful pressure emanated from the cultivator named Zou and pressed towards Chen Yuan, but was dissipated by Jin Luoheng with a casual flick of his hand.

He smiled slightly: "It is not decent for Fellow Daoist Zou to attack a junior. Brother Chen, why don't you apologize to Fellow Daoist Zou?"

Chen Yuan changed his cold expression and bowed to the monk named Zou, saying respectfully, "I made a mistake in my words. I hope Senior Zou will forgive me."

The monk named Zou snorted coldly and was about to speak again.

Chen Yuan did not give him this opportunity. He looked at Jin Luoheng and said loudly, "Elder Jin, when I entered the secret realm before, I was responsible for collecting spiritual herbs. Now I will donate all the spiritual herbs to the sect!"

After saying that, he stroked his storage bag, and hundreds of spiritual herbs appeared out of thin air on the ground, piling up like a small hill, emitting various colors of spiritual light.

There are more than thirty wooden boxes among them. When opened, the spiritual herbs inside emit rich spiritual energy and colorful mist. They are all eight hundred year old spiritual herbs.

Everyone's attention was drawn to it, even the Jindan cultivators were no exception.

Old Monster Qu looked at one of the wooden boxes, his expression slightly changed: "Golden Dragon Ganoderma?"

Several other Jindan cultivators also recognized at a glance some of the long-desired eight-hundred-year-old spiritual herbs, and their eyes were filled with excitement.

If they were allowed to obtain these spiritual herbs and make elixirs from them, their cultivation would surely increase greatly.

When Ji Bin saw the spiritual herbs in front of Chen Yuan, his eyes widened. The thought of searching his soul that he had just had disappeared without a trace.

The spiritual herbs obtained from the secret realm of Dongxu Mountain need to be handed over to the sect.

But he and Jin Luoheng escorted disciples here together, so they were allowed to intercept some of them. This was the unspoken rule of the Lingyun Sect, and no one could say anything about it.

Among these spiritual herbs, there were more than a dozen of the several five-hundred-year-old spiritual herbs that he had been searching for.

Just for these spiritual herbs, he must protect Chen Yuan!
Jin Luoheng's expression was calmer, but there was a flash of shock in his eyes. He then smiled and said, "Nephew Chen, did you get these spiritual herbs from the spiritual medicine garden?"

Chen Yuan said respectfully: "Reporting to the elder, half of these spiritual herbs were obtained from the spiritual medicine garden, but the other half were obtained from the demon pill cultivators of Ziyang Sect when my disciples hunted demon beasts and rescued disciples from the four sects."

Jin Luoheng nodded and said, "Very good. Although you have been stranded in the secret realm for ten years, you have collected so many spiritual herbs and made great contributions to the sect. Your contribution is the first. After you return to the sect, I will give you a generous reward."

Chen Yuan bowed and said, "Thank you, Elder Jin..."

The two of them spoke very quickly, and were about to settle the matter in a few words. At this moment, Xie Chaohong shouted, "Wait a minute!"

Jin Luoheng turned his head and looked over, saying calmly, "Does Daoist Xie have anything else to say? Junior Brother Chen has made it clear that he just accidentally entered the Spiritual Medicine Garden and told me the address before. If Daoist Xie doesn't believe it, you can send a disciple into the secret realm to check."

At this time, Xie Chaohong no longer thought about the spiritual medicine garden. All he had in his eyes were the twenty or so eight-hundred-year-old spiritual herbs.

If he could get these spiritual herbs, coupled with the support from the sect, he would be confident that he could cultivate to the peak of the Core Formation stage, and his hopes of forming an Infant Formation would be greatly increased. How could he allow Jin Luoheng to take the spiritual herbs away like that?
Xie Chaohong said, "The secret realm of Dongxu Mountain is shared by the six sects of Qi State. It is a cause for celebration that Junior Brother Chen accidentally discovered the spiritual medicine garden, but it is not appropriate for all these spiritual herbs to belong to your sect."

At the same time, he sent a message to the cultivator surnamed Zou, who understood and immediately agreed: "Thank you, fellow Daoist, what you said makes sense. Now our six sects have joined forces to fight against the Demon Sect. Although the Spiritual Medicine Garden is an ownerless land, it is ultimately a shared property of our six sects. These spiritual herbs should be shared by the six sects. What do you think, fellow Daoists?"

Everyone understood that he was going to gather the strength of all the sects to overwhelm the Lingyun Sect and snatch the spiritual herbs!
The two elders of Mingyin Valley looked at each other, and there was a look of interest in their eyes.

They had no grudges against the Lingyun Sect, but they were very envious of these rare spiritual herbs, and would naturally be willing to get a piece of the pie.

Old Monster Qu's eyes flickered, and no one knew what he was thinking, but he was staring at the eight hundred year old golden dragon ganoderma.

Only the heroic Taoist remained silent. The Tiangang Sword Sect and the Lingyun Sect were allies in this trip to the secret realm. Although he was also quite tempted by these spiritual herbs, he was not in a position to ask for them.

Ji Bin saw that the situation was dangerous and became very anxious.

If the Jindan cultivators from various sects broke the rules and tried to snatch the spiritual herbs, he and Jin Luoheng would not be able to resist even if they joined forces.

In front of so many rare spiritual herbs, even if it was to break the rules, it was not a big deal. The Jindan cultivators present were the top leaders of various sects. Many of the rules were made by them for their own benefit. Now that there was a greater benefit, they could naturally kick it aside.

Jin Luoheng had a solemn expression and cold eyes, and he was ready to take action. For a moment, the atmosphere in the field became extremely solemn and murderous.

At this time, Chen Yuan suddenly said, "My dear seniors, I didn't explain it clearly just now. These eight hundred and five hundred year old spiritual herbs were obtained by me and fellow Taoists from various sects when we hunted monsters and eliminated those monster pill cultivators. They were not obtained from the spiritual medicine garden."

As soon as he finished speaking, a dozen Qi-refining disciples who had left the secret realm with him spoke in agreement.

A disciple from the Myriad Beasts Mountain said, "Elder Qu, Uncle Chen is a man of high character. He didn't want anything except the eight-hundred-year-old spiritual herbs from the monsters he hunted, and gave them all to us. Please review it, Elder!"

Several Tiangang Sword Sect disciples each took out nearly a hundred spiritual herbs from their storage bags and said, "Elder Zhang, these are the spiritual herbs we got when we followed Uncle Chen to hunt monsters and rescue fellow Taoists. Uncle Chen, please take a look."

Yun Fang, Duan Changyu and four other disciples of the Lingyun Sect, as well as several disciples of the Mingyin Valley, also took out handfuls of spiritual herbs from their storage bags and handed them over to the sect’s masters.

The appearance of these spiritual herbs surprised Old Monster Qu, the two elders of Mingyin Valley, and Taoist Ying Ting.

They had thought that Chen Yuan would definitely rely on his status as a foundation-building cultivator to collect all the spiritual herbs in the secret realm, but they did not expect that he would distribute so many to disciples from various factions.

Although there is not a single eight hundred year old spiritual herb among these spiritual herbs, most of them are three hundred year old spiritual herbs, and there are also many rare five hundred year old spiritual herbs, which are just suitable for use by Jindan cultivators.

The five hundred year old spiritual herbs in the hands of the disciples of the three sects add up to at least hundreds of them, which is actually much more than the five hundred year old spiritual herbs in Chen Yuan's hands.

Jin Luoheng showed surprise and looked at Chen Yuan again.

This boy is so courageous that he is willing to give up so many spiritual herbs just to protect himself.

Ji Bin breathed a sigh of relief. The appearance of these spiritual herbs was enough to break up any possible alliances formed by the various sects.

As expected, Old Monster Qu was the first to speak: "Fellow Daoist Zou is a bit too much. The Spiritual Medicine Garden is originally ownerless. Since it was discovered by Junior Brother Chen, the spiritual herbs in it should belong to him, and it has nothing to do with the other five sects."

The elder of Mingyin Valley said, "That's right. If someone's disciples get more spiritual herbs, all the sects will join forces to divide them up. How is that different from robbery? This is inappropriate!"

These words were spoken with great righteousness and full of justice, which was completely different from the hesitation in his expression just now when he wanted to share the spiritual herbs of Lingyun Sect.

Old Monster Qu and the elders of Mingyin Valley expressed their attitudes one after another. The handsome Taoist naturally stood on the side of the ally Lingyun Sect. The verbal provocation of the cultivator named Zou could no longer be effective.

His face turned extremely ugly, and he sent a message to Xie Chaohong: "Fellow Daoist Xie, this boy is so cunning, please forgive me for my incompetence."

Xie Chaohong also knew that the situation was hopeless. In order to get the spiritual herbs, the Jindan cultivators from the four sects would definitely not allow him to embarrass Chen Yuan again.

He stared at Chen Yuan for a long while, then suddenly turned to look at Jin Luoheng and said, "It seems that I have wronged Junior Brother Chen. In this case, these spiritual herbs naturally belong to your sect."

Jin Luoheng nodded, raised his hand and collected all the spiritual herbs on the ground.

At this time, the secret realm of Dongxu Mountain was also closed.

The six Jindan monks withdrew their magic power, and the gate of spiritual light slowly dissipated. It would take ten years for it to open again.

During this trip to the secret realm, only a hundred disciples from the six sects returned, with heavy casualties.

Among them, Zi Yang Sect and Gui Yuan Sect suffered the most, with 19 and 8 disciples respectively, almost all of them were killed or injured.

The situation of other sects was not much better. A total of twenty-one disciples came out from Lingyun Sect, eighteen from Wanshou Mountain, fourteen from Mingyin Valley, and sixteen from Tiangang Sword Sect.

But these four sects at least harvested a large number of spiritual herbs, but Zi Yang Sect and Gui Yuan Sect lost both their wives and their soldiers, with many disciples killed or injured, and the spiritual herbs they harvested were very few, which could be said to have seriously damaged their vitality.

But who asked Zi Yang Sect to send the demon pill cultivators into the secret realm? It was unreasonable. Even if they suffered such a huge loss, they could only bear it silently.

After the secret realm was closed, disciples from various sects left one after another.

Xie Chaohong looked at Chen Yuan deeply before turning around and boarding the Zi Yang Sect's giant boat and flying towards the south.

This gaze was as cold as ice and as sharp as a knife. It seemed to pierce directly into Chen Yuan's soul, making him shudder.

He knew that Xie Chaohong had kept him in mind.

But when he tried to kill the Zi Yang Sect's Yao Dan cultivator, he was well prepared and had no intention of showing any fear.

Since you have offended Xie Chaohong, you should find a backer who is no less powerful than him.
