Nine Transformations of the True Spirit.

Chapter 191 Reward
Lingyun School.

A thousand-foot-high wall of clouds connecting the sky and the earth stood outside the mountain gate. Clouds and mist flowed slowly on the surface of the wall. Occasionally, birds, hawks, and falcons flew into it, but they were swallowed by the mouth of a giant beast and never came out again.

A misty green light flew from a distance, and its speed gradually slowed down. A figure standing on it appeared. It was Chen Yuan who had returned from Dingzhou.

When the Duyun Boat entered the cloud wall, its speed had become extremely slow.

Chen Yuan clearly felt a slight wave sweeping over his body and dissipating silently.

This is the sect protection formation investigating Chen Yuan's identity. If he did not leave his natal Yuan lamp in the Yuanming Hall, or if his soul aura was different from the aura left in the natal Yuan lamp, he would be killed on the spot.

A quarter of an hour later, the Duyun Boat passed through the cloud wall and Chen Yuan returned to the gate of Lingyun Sect. His tense nerves finally relaxed.

After parting with Shi Yong, he flew day and night for six days and finally returned to Lingyun Sect from Dingzhou.

Along the way, Chen Yuan was extremely cautious. He always passed through the clouds and avoided densely populated areas, and did not encounter any other cultivators.

But he also encountered several massive battles between officers and soldiers and rebels and rioters. There was even a battle involving tens of thousands of people, with corpses strewn all over the ground and blood flowing like a river.

To the north of the Chimang Mountains, rivers dried up, the earth cracked, there were floods, turbid waves, water disasters and droughts occurring simultaneously, there were starving people everywhere, refugees were migrating, it was like hell on earth.

Demons are everywhere in the world of immortals, and the mortal world is also in the midst of smoke and war. The State of Qi is about to usher in a chaotic era.

As Chen Yuan walked along, the sense of urgency in his heart continued to increase.

The demon cultivators are about to invade Qi State, and he has forged a great feud with Liu Fan. He must improve his cultivation as soon as possible, and finding the descendants of the true spirit is also urgent.

After Chen Yuan returned to the mountain gate, he put away the Duyun Boat, rode on the escape light, and headed towards the Hall of Good Deeds.

The Lingyun sect stipulates that foundation-building cultivators are not allowed to use spiritual weapons when escaping through the mountain gate, and their escape speed cannot be too fast to avoid colliding with the sect's elders.

Two quarters of an hour later, Chen Yuan descended his escape light outside the Hall of Good Deeds, walked up the stone steps, and entered the hall with many Qi-refining disciples beside him.

There were still people coming and going here, with at least hundreds of disciples standing in front of the vermilion lacquered pillars to receive their sect missions.

In addition, there were hundreds of people who lined up in several teams, exchanging task talismans and receiving good deeds.

These people are all Qi Refining disciples. Their tasks are relatively simple, mostly serving in palaces, looking after spiritual medicine gardens, digging spiritual minerals, cultivating spiritual herbs, etc.

After completing the task, the person in charge will check it and the talisman will automatically change from red to blue. You just need to come to the Hall of Good Deeds to return the talisman and receive your good deeds.

If a foundation-building cultivator wants to return a mission, the deacon on duty that day needs to personally check it and issue the good merits.

Chen Yuan found a disciple on duty and explained his purpose.

The disciple on duty led the way, leading Chen Yuan out of the Hall of Good Deeds and to the flat ground below the top of the mountain.

The environment here is elegant and quiet, with six small buildings scattered around at different heights. Chen Yuan had been here once when he received the mission.

The two came to a small building, which was the one where Wang Ran was.

Chen Yuan was quite surprised: "Is it Senior Brother Wang who is on duty today?"

The disciple on duty saw that Chen Yuan knew Wang Ran, and his attitude became more respectful: "That's right, please wait a moment, uncle."

He knocked on the door gently and said loudly, "Deacon Wang, a senior uncle wants to see you."

Chen Yuan stood behind him, with his hands behind his back, waiting quietly.

After a while, the door opened and Wang Ran walked out. Chen Yuan bowed and said, "Brother Wang, I am here to return the mission talisman."

"Junior Brother Chen?" Wang Ran showed a look of surprise, turned to the disciple on duty and said, "You go down."

"Yes."

The disciple on duty bowed to Wang Ran and Chen Yuan respectively, then turned and left.

Wang Ran raised his hand and said, "Brother Chen, please come in."

Chen Yuan followed Wang Ran to the reception room on the second floor, where the host and guest sat down.

Wang Ran raised his hand and waved. The purple clay teapot on the table slowly flew up. He poured spiritual tea for Chen Yuan and said, "Junior Brother Chen has completed the sect mission in less than a month. It can be said to be extremely fast."

Chen Yuan picked up the spiritual tea and took a sip. "Thanks to my brother's care, I was able to receive this mission. If it were any other mission, I would definitely still be tracking down the traces of the demon cultivators or trying to hunt down monsters."

Wang Ran stroked his beard and smiled: "My junior brother and I are mutually beneficial. If my junior brother is delayed for too long on the sect mission, how can he have time to make pills?"

Chen Yuan smiled, stroked his storage bag, took out a mission talisman and a jade slip, handed them to Wang Ran, and said, "I have eradicated the Demon Cult and killed the man behind it. The details are all in this jade slip. Please take a look, brother."

Wang Ran took the jade slip and the task talisman, and probed his spiritual consciousness into the jade slip to check it out.

Suddenly, his expression changed and he exclaimed, "A demon cultivator in the late foundation building stage?"

After a while, Wang Ran put down the jade slip and looked at Chen Yuan with a look of surprise. He asked, "Junior Brother Chen, the person who controls this Spirit God Sect is really a late Foundation Establishment Demon Cultivator, and you killed him?"

Chen Yuan nodded and said, "Yes, I brought her head back. Please take a look at it, Senior Brother."

After saying that, he touched the storage bag, and a wooden box appeared out of thin air on the table.

Chen Yuan waved his hand again, and the lid of the box opened, revealing a green head with eyes wide open and a look of unwillingness on its face.

Wang Ran's spiritual sense swept across Ningbi's head and he could still sense the remaining spiritual energy. He must have been a cultivator in the late Foundation Establishment stage when he was alive.

Chen Yuan said: "I also brought back the body of this person, but it is inconvenient to take it out. I will give it to my senior brother to check later."

Wang Ran nodded, raised his hand and closed the wooden box again, then looked at Chen Yuan with a much more serious look.

With the cultivation level of the middle stage of foundation building, he was able to kill a demon cultivator in the late stage of foundation building. What kind of strength is this!
Chen Yuan is not only proficient in alchemy, but also can fight against opponents of higher levels and kill late-stage demon cultivators. His strength is unfathomable and he must not be offended. We must make friends with him.

Wang Ran made up his mind and asked, "Those black pills and mortal blood essence, did Junior Brother also bring them back?"

Chen Yuan nodded and touched his storage bag. Several cloth bags and a jade bowl containing red beads appeared out of thin air on the table.

After Wang Ran carefully inspected it, he said solemnly, "Brother Chen, you not only eradicated the Spirit God Sect, but also killed the late foundation building cultivator behind the Spirit God Sect and brought back the body as evidence. You have made great contributions. The reward of 2,000 merits is a bit too little."

"It's just that this mission involves a cultivator in the late stage of foundation building. I have no right to make the decision. I must report this matter to Zhang Zhizhang. Please wait for a moment, Junior Brother."

He stroked his storage bag, took out a sound transmission talisman, put it to his mouth, moved his lips, said a few words silently, and then threw the sound transmission talisman forward.

The sound transmission note turned from real to virtual, passed through the wall and flew away.

A quarter of an hour later, another sound transmission note flew into the small building and fell into Wang Ran's hands.

He listened attentively for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said, "Junior Brother Chen, Zhang Zhizhang praised you highly and increased the reward for this mission to 12,000 merits!"
