Nine Transformations of the True Spirit.

Chapter 190 Black Token
Upon hearing this, Liu Fan's expression changed and he immediately summoned the vermilion flying boat.

Chen Yuan followed closely behind, touched his storage bag, took out the Duyun Boat, and stepped on board.

The collapse of the space magic weapon would make a huge noise, which would definitely attract many cultivators to investigate, so we must get away from this place as soon as possible.

Yu Qing also took out his green spiritual boat, glanced at Liu Fan, and then looked at Chen Yuan: "Daoyou Wei, can I go with you for a while?"

Chen Yuan understood his concerns and said with a smile, "Of course, Daoist Yu, please."

Yu Qing felt relieved, and he activated his true energy, controlling the green flying boat to come to Chen Yuan's side.

He didn't dare to separate from Chen Yuan and give Liu Fan the opportunity to snatch the treasure.

When Liu Fan saw Yu Qing being so cautious, his face darkened. He knew there was no chance for him to attack this time, so he urged his true energy and the vermilion flying boat turned into a beam of blood light and flew away.

Chen Yuan looked at Liu Fan who was walking away, his eyes narrowed and murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

Liu Fan knew that he was a physical cultivator and was almost ambushed and killed by him, so the two of them formed a life-and-death feud.

If there is a chance in the future, this person must be killed to prevent future troubles.

However, now that Liu Fan has obtained the Suzhen Flower and has refined the Huanzhen Pill, his chances of forming a pill have greatly increased. This is bad news.

It seems that after returning this time, I have to improve my cultivation to the late stage of foundation building as soon as possible, and then go to the places where the major monsters in Qi State gather, look for the descendants of the true spirits, and strive to form a pill, so that I can compete with Liu Fan.

Chen Yuan's mind turned, and he determined the next training plan. He said to Yu Qing: "Yu Daoyou, there is no time to lose, let's leave this place quickly."

Yu Qing nodded, and the speed of the flying boat under their feet suddenly increased. They flew above the clouds and flew away.

……

Half an hour later, Chen Yuan and Yu Qing stopped over the barren mountain where Yu Qing's cave was located in Anchi County, Zhourao Commandery.

Chen Yuan stood in the strong wind, his figure tall and straight, his sleeves fluttering, like a god.

Yu Qing seemed to be much more cautious. He bowed slightly, a trace of fear flashed in the depths of his eyes, and said, "Liu Fan had a vicious look in his eyes before he left. He must have been planning to kill people and steal treasures. Thanks to the help of fellow Taoist, I was able to avoid this disaster."

Chen Yuan said: "We have already left the Boping Mountains, so Liu Fan can't catch up with us."

"But he will definitely not give up. You must be careful in the future."

Yu Qing smiled bitterly and said, "Fellow Daoist Chen is right. In order to obtain the treasure left by Qingyou's ancestors, Liu Fan first lured the clan leader to leave Qi State, and then joined forces with the demon cultivators to destroy the Yu clan. After all his painstaking efforts, the treasure he obtained was far inferior to what you obtained. He will definitely not stop there."

"Moreover, the five major demon sects will soon invade Qi's cultivation world. Liu Fan is a true disciple of the Blood Spirit Sect, and he will definitely take the opportunity to find my whereabouts. I plan to leave Qi to avoid this demon."

After saying that, he stroked his storage bag, took out Luo Yansha, and returned it to Chen Yuan.

Chen Yuan put away the Luo Yansha and nodded, saying, "Take care, Daoist Yu. If you have any problems, you can come to Lingyun Sect to find me."

As he said this, he bowed and was about to control the Duyun Boat to escape.

Yu Qing was stunned for a moment when he saw Chen Yuan leaving so easily. Then he showed a look of gratitude and controlled the flying boat to catch up with him.

Before this, Yu Qing had always been wary of Chen Yuan, fearing that he would attack her, kill people and steal her treasures.

The two of them had joined forces before in order to snatch the token from Liu Fan, and he was the only one who knew the location of the space magic weapon, so he was not worried about Chen Yuan taking action.

But now, the relics of Master Qingyou have been divided up, and the Outer Demon Oath only restricts the three from revealing the matter.

If Chen Yuan was a ruthless person, he could easily kill him and snatch the magic weapon.

Yu Qing had been worried for a long time, so he took the initiative to give the thousand-year-old spiritual herb to Chen Yuan. He also suggested that Chen Yuan choose two magic weapons first, and then let Liu Fan choose, and he would be the last one.

He did this because he wanted to take fewer treasures and discourage Chen Yuan from taking action.

But after all, he still got dozens of rare spiritual herbs, two top-grade spiritual materials, and five top-grade spiritual stones, which might arouse Chen Yuan's greed.

However, his cultivation level is low, and Liu Fan is eyeing him covetously. After leaving the secret space, he must rely on Chen Yuan's protection to escape safely.

Now is the best time for Chen Yuan to kill people and steal treasures, but he just said goodbye and left without any delay, obviously not intending to do so. Yu Qing felt grateful but also quite ashamed.

He drove the boat to the front of Chen Yuan and bowed deeply: "I am a member of the Yu family's side branch. I have poor aptitude and it is difficult for me to practice. When I saw that Daoist Chen was determined to seek the Tao, I was moved with compassion and gave Daoist Daoist a basic practice method."

“I never thought that you, with your five spiritual roots, could cultivate all the way to the middle stage of foundation building and fight against Liu Fan. This time, I was able to obtain the treasure left by Qingyou’s ancestors, all thanks to your efforts.”

"Furthermore, you could have taken all the treasures from me, but you didn't intend to do so. I am ashamed of myself for judging others with my own mean mind."

"I will remember this favor in my heart, and if I have the chance in the future, I will definitely repay you."

Chen Yuan returned the greeting and said, "Fellow Daoist Yu, you are too polite. I was just an ordinary warrior with low strength back then."

“But fellow Daoist did not regard me as an ant. Not only did he not kill me, but he also gave me elixirs and taught me martial arts.”

"How can I snatch your treasure today just because I am so powerful?"

Yu Qing shook his head and said, "That being said, there are many cases in the world of immortal cultivation where close friends and brothers turn against each other for the sake of spiritual weapons and magic treasures."

"Fellow Daoist, you have been able to stick to your original intention. This is a great favor. Please accept this token."

As he spoke, he took out a token, waved his hand, and handed it to Chen Yuan.

Chen Yuan looked down and saw that the token was about the size of a palm and was completely black. On one side was written the word "Ling", which looked simple and majestic, while the other side was engraved with white cloud patterns, emitting a faint light.

He raised his head and looked at Yu Qing in confusion: "This is..."

Yu Qing explained: "I got this token from the Yu family secret cave. It is placed together with the gray token used to enter and exit the space magic weapon."

"According to the jade slips in the maze cave, these two tokens were passed down by Qingyou's ancestors."

"The gray token can be used to enter and exit the space magic weapon, and this black token is said to be able to open another cave of Qingyou's ancestor."

"But the strange thing is that the Qingyou ancestor did not leave the address of this cave. The Yu ancestors carefully studied this token but found nothing."

"I will be leaving Qi soon. This token is of no use to me, so I will give it to you. Maybe you can find another cave of Qingyou's ancestors."

Chen Yuan's eyes showed surprise. He raised his sleeves and put the black token into his storage bag. "Thank you for the gift, fellow Daoist."

Yu Qing smiled bitterly and said, "To be honest, because of the space magic weapon left by Qingyou's ancestor, the entire Yu family was destroyed. I dare not keep this token in my hands anymore."

"If you were not a disciple of Lingyun Sect and were not very powerful, I would not have given you this token."

Chen Yuan nodded slightly: "Thank you for your reminder, I will be careful."

After Yu Qing sent out the black token, he felt relieved. He knew very well that Master Qingyou was the ancestor of the Yu family, but he did not leave his treasures to his descendants, and even the token for entering the space magic weapon was divided into two. There must be something fishy about it.

This black token must have some secrets, but Yu Qing now just wants to stay away from Qi State and use the cultivation resources obtained from the Yu family's secret cave to practice well and improve his cultivation. He does not want to get involved in disputes anymore.

He bowed solemnly to Chen Yuan and said, "I'm leaving now. Take care, fellow Taoist. We'll meet again."

Chen Yuan returned the greeting and said, "Take care, fellow Taoist. We will meet again later."

Yu Qing nodded, sailed away to the south, and soon disappeared without a trace.

Chen Yuan watched Yu Qingyuan go away without stopping. He activated his true energy and turned the Duyun Boat into a stream of green light, escaping towards the north.

He has eradicated the Lingshen Sect and killed Ningbi, exceeding the sect's mission and can return to report.

He flew for half an hour when suddenly a strange wave came from behind him.

The several storage bags on Chen Yuan's waist suddenly exploded, and the items stored in them were all scattered in the Duyun Boat.

His heart trembled, and he raised his hand and put these items into the mustard seed ring. He activated the true energy in his body, and the speed of the Duyun Boat increased even more.

The space magic weapon finally collapsed, and the power of space dissipated, causing the storage bag to disintegrate.

Fortunately, the mustard ring is made of mustard stone, and the space inside it is extremely stable and will not be damaged within ten thousand years.

After the space magic weapon collapses, everything within a radius of ten thousand miles will be affected. Those cultivators who sense the fluctuations in space will definitely go to find out what's going on.

He had to speed up his escape and get as far away from the Boping Mountains as possible to avoid being involved in this incident.

Chen Yuan activated the Duyun Boat's maximum speed under normal conditions and flew for half an hour when he suddenly saw a beam of light flying towards him.

At this time, he was flying above the clouds and had a clear view of everything. He saw the light, so this person must have seen him as well.

Chen Yuan slowed down his escape speed, and with a thought, he took out the Fire Cloud Gourd, the Xuanshui Flag, the Lingyun Sect identity token, dozens of medium-grade spirit stones and some sundries from the mustard seed ring and placed them in the Duyun Boat.

The material of mustard stone is unique. One can take and put objects with only spiritual consciousness, without the need to inject true energy.

After Chen Yuan finished this, he took off the mustard seed ring on his right wrist and put it in his arms. The Duyun Boat also stopped and waited for the visitor.

A moment later, the escaping light stopped thirty feet in front of the Duyun Boat, and a figure appeared.

This man was dressed in dark clothes, was about thirty years old, had a short beard, and had a stern expression. A three-foot flying sword hung in front of him. He had obvious intelligence and was in the late stage of foundation building.

His eyes swept over the two high-grade spiritual weapons in front of Chen Yuan, as well as the many items scattered in the Duyun Boat, and finally stopped at the Lingyun Sect's identity jade card. His eyes moved slightly, and he bowed and saluted: "I am Shi Yong from the Tiangang Sword Sect. Is this fellow Taoist from the Lingyun Sect?"

Chen Yuan returned the greeting, "I am Chen Yuan from Lingyun Sect. Daoist Fellow Shi is very polite."

Shi Yong asked, "Did Fellow Daoist Chen encounter a spatial fluctuation, and was his storage bag damaged as a result?"

Chen Yuan nodded and said, "That's right. I was flying when suddenly a space wave hit me. All my storage bags exploded. I was in a very bad state. I'm sorry to have made you laugh."

Shi Yong's eyes flashed: "If you don't mind, you can take it for emergency use."

After saying that, he took off a storage bag from his waist, raised his hand and handed it over.

The storage bag spanned thirty feet and flew in front of the Duyun Boat.

Chen Yuan raised his hand to receive it, put all the things into the storage bag, and said with a bow: "Thank you for the gift, fellow Taoist. Chen owes you a favor."

Shi Yong smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Chen, there is no need to be so polite. This is just a piece of cake. Besides, our Tiangang Sword Sect and your sect are allies. Since this has happened, how can I sit back and do nothing? But I have one thing I would like to ask you."

"Fellow Taoist, please tell me."

"Fellow Daoist Chen's storage bag exploded due to the spatial fluctuations. It should be not far from where the spatial fluctuations broke out. Do you know where this spatial fluctuation came from?"

Chen Yuan shook his head and said, "I was flying away in a boat when a spatial fluctuation suddenly came from behind me and the storage bag exploded. I was startled and quickly controlled the boat to escape. I didn't know what was going on."

Shi Yong was quite surprised when he heard this: "Things that can cause spatial fluctuations must be extremely extraordinary. Isn't Fellow Daoist Chen interested?"

Chen Yuan showed a helpless look on his face: "Chen's cultivation is low, I dare not wade into this muddy water, and I have a mission to complete in the sect, I need to return to the sect to report, I can't delay."

Shi Yong nodded slightly: "I see, then I won't delay you any longer."

Chen Yuan bowed and said, "I'll take my leave."

He mobilized his true energy, and the speed of the Duyun Boat suddenly increased, flying towards the north.

Shi Yong watched Chen Yuan go away with his eyes flashing. He continued to control the flying sword and fled in the direction where the space fluctuations came from.

When he met Chen Yuan, he also suspected whether Chen Yuan was related to this matter.

But those exploded storage bags and items scattered on the flying boat could not be fake. They were all what a cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building should have.

Unless Chen Yuan has high-level storage magic weapons such as the Mustard Seed Ring and the Sumeru Ring, it is impossible to conceal the items.

What this person said should be true, he just happened to pass by and felt that his cultivation level was not high enough, so he did not dare to investigate the matter.

Shi Yong quickly forgot about Chen Yuan and increased his speed a little bit, rushing towards the place where the space fluctuation came from.

……

After Chen Yuan and Shi Yong parted ways, he activated the magical power of Fengluan in the Duyun Boat and fled north.

As the speed of the Duyun Boat increased dramatically, Chen Yuan also suffered the backlash of Feng Luan's demonic power, but he endured it with ease.

A quarter of an hour later, the Duyun Boat traveled more than three hundred miles before its speed slowed down.

Chen Yuan descended on a deserted mountain, put away the Duyun Boat, set up an invisible formation, closed his eyes and meditated, absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

He first had a fierce battle with Liu Fan, then entered the secret realm of space to search for treasures. After coming out, he kept on going and fled far away by boat. After stimulating the power of Feng Luan, most of the true energy in his body was consumed and he urgently needed to recover.

Shi Yong was obviously suspicious of him, but his suspicion was dispelled only because of his identity as a disciple of the Lingyun Sect and the items scattered on the Duyun Boat.

But out of caution, Chen Yuan activated the power of Feng Luan and escaped hundreds of miles away to prevent Shi Yong from changing his mind and coming to look for him again.

Chen Yuan was naturally not afraid of Shi Yong, but the sword cultivator knew the art of sword escape and could move quickly. If he clashed with Shi Yong and did not stop him, his identity as a physical cultivator and his powerful strength would be exposed, making Shi Yong think of the space fluctuation.

Only by avoiding this person can the hidden danger be eliminated.

After half an hour, Chen Yuan's true energy was fully restored. He lifted the formation and sailed away to the north.
