Nine Transformations of the True Spirit.

Chapter 199 Sect Order
As the saying goes, "All medicines are three parts poison." Spiritual herbs that are less than a hundred years old can be ripened directly by cultivators, but if the cultivator's magic power is not pure enough, the Qi Refining Pills he refines will also contain three parts of poison.

After the Qi-refining monk has refined the pure spiritual power in the elixir, he also needs to expel the elixir poison from his body. Otherwise, over time, the magic power will be mixed with the elixir poison impurities, and the foundation will not be solid, and there will never be any hope of breaking through the foundation.

The elixirs for the foundation-building period are quite different. They are made from hundred-year-old spiritual herbs. Each elixir contains a huge amount of pure spiritual energy and does not contain elixir poison, so cultivators can absorb it with confidence.

However, this amount of spiritual energy is too huge, and it is pouring into the cultivator's body at once. When refining the medicinal power, the meridians have to withstand the impact of the huge amount of spiritual energy all the time. He has to exercise his skills carefully and consume some of the spiritual energy to protect the meridians and avoid injury.

In this way, the time to refine the medicinal power will be greatly extended. It will take at least two months for an ordinary foundation-building cultivator to refine each pill.

However, physical cultivators have strong physiques and extremely tough meridians, far superior to those of ordinary cultivators, so the time required to refine elixirs can be shortened.

However, most of the spiritual energy is used to nourish the body, and the speed of cultivation improvement is not as fast as that of ordinary cultivators.

Chen Yuan, however, was an outlier. His body was infused with the power of the stars in the sky and he did not need to absorb the thin spiritual energy of heaven and earth. His meridians were much tougher than those of cultivators of the same level. He could refine a pill in just one hour, saving a year of hard training and making rapid progress.

Moreover, he had plenty of elixirs during his eight years of seclusion, and after breaking through the middle stage of foundation building, he had accumulated a lot of true essence, so he had a certain amount of accumulation.

Otherwise, three years would be too short a time, not enough for him to cultivate to such a level, and he is only one step away from the peak of the middle stage of foundation building.

……

After Chen Yuan greeted Shen Danmei, he introduced her and Mo Jingchun to each other. The two started chatting and found out that they both knew Yi Jin.

Yi Jin was once supported by Jin Luoheng and had met Sun Congyao and Shen Danmei several times.

But after Mo Jingchun successfully built his foundation, he wanted to make up for his roots and focused all his energy on completing the sect's mission. Apart from his fellow brothers, he did not make friends with many foundation-building cultivators.

But with this relationship, and Mo Jingchun and Shen Danmei both having cheerful personalities, the three of them chatted happily while waiting for the elder of the sect to show up.

During this period, Shen Danmei told Chen Yuan that Jin Luoheng had not returned to the sect yet, and Sun Congyao was carrying out a sect mission and was not in the mountain gate.

Chen Yuan was a little disappointed. The war was about to begin, but Jin Luoheng was not in the sect. Without his master's care, he might suffer a loss.

The three of them chatted for a while, and more than 200 foundation-building cultivators slowly gathered in front of Lingyun Hall. They gathered in twos and threes, talking in low voices with solemn expressions.

All the core disciples of Lingyun Sect came here, waiting for the sect's order.

Two hours after the Xiyi Bell rang, five figures walked out of the Lingyun Hall, all of them emitting powerful spiritual pressure. All the cultivators who were whispering in front of the hall shut their mouths.

These five cultivators are all Jindan Zhenren. The middle one is a young cultivator, dressed in yellow coarse linen clothes, with ordinary looks and slightly dark skin. He seems to be the most common country youth in the mortal world, but his spiritual pressure is the strongest among the five.

To the left of the young monk stood a fifty-year-old man in a dark Taoist robe with three long beards fluttering in front of his chest. He looked dignified and majestic. His spiritual pressure was much weaker, but he exuded a sharp aura. When everyone looked at him directly, their eyes actually felt a little painful, as if they were being forced by the edge of a sword.

On the left of the fifty-year-old man was Xu Changan, a man Chen Yuan had met before. He had gray hair and beard and was tall, looking exactly the same as he had been before.

But the two real people on the right side of the young monk were people Chen Yuan had never seen before. They were a veiled female monk and a middle-aged scholar with an elegant appearance.

Suddenly, Mo Jingchun's voice transmission rang in Chen Yuan's ears: "Brother Chen, the old man with a long beard wearing a black Taoist robe is Master Mo."

Chen Yuan nodded slightly, and looked at the fifty-year-old man with a hint of curiosity. Elder Wang Xian had no master, and studied the art of flying swords alone, but he was able to successfully form a pill, which was really not easy.

I wonder who is stronger, him or the sword cultivator from the Tiangang Sword Sect?

Moreover, Mo Jingchun once mentioned that although Elder Wang Xian was a cultivator of the orthodox lineage, he treated all disciples equally. As long as they were willing to learn the art of flying swords, he would accept them as his disciples and teach them carefully.

In addition to Mo Jingchun, Wang Xian has eight other disciples, five of whom are from the orthodox lineage, and three are from the independent lineage, all of whom practice the art of flying swords.

However, most of these disciples only turned to practicing the art of flying swords after building their foundation. They are unable to refine their own flying swords and are far inferior to orthodox sword practitioners.

A few people, like Mo Jingchun, practiced the art of flying swords before building their foundation, but their inheritance was incomplete and they could not compare with orthodox sword practitioners.

Moreover, Elder Wang Xian only taught his disciples how to practice, but did not give them much care. His disciples had to run around for external objects to practice, and they seldom interacted with each other, and their relationship was cold.

Just now, several of Mo Jingchun's fellow disciples passed by, but the two sides just greeted each other and had no intention of discussing in detail.

……

After the five Jindan Zhenren walked out of the hall, they stopped at the top of the stone steps.

The young cultivator stepped out from the crowd and said in a deep voice, "Lingyun Sect's core disciples, listen up. The demon cultivators from the Blood Spirit Sect and the He Huan Sect have invaded Qi State. You are to follow me to the Demon-Slaying Desert to meet them."

"This battle concerns the survival of the sect. No one should avoid the battle. Violators will be killed immediately!"

These words were spoken extremely calmly, but they were clearly heard by everyone. The solemn and murderous meaning contained in them made those who heard them secretly frightened.

After the young monk finished speaking, he raised his sleeves and a flying boat appeared out of thin air in front of him. It slowly grew to a length of a hundred feet. There was a three-story tower on the boat, with six corners, vermilion lacquered pillars, and a cave door with round windows. It was the same one that Chen Yuan took when he went to the secret realm of Dongxu Mountain.

At that time, his cultivation was low and his vision was shallow, but looking at it now, he saw that this flying boat was full of spiritual energy and was even more extraordinary than the Golden Dragon Sword and the Wind and Cloud Bell.

Only a magic flying boat can be refined to be a hundred feet long.

Five Jindan Zhenren were the first to board the flying boat, and more than 200 core disciples rode on their escape lights and flew up.

Then, he waved his sleeves, and the giant boat slowly rose into the air and arrived in front of the sect protection formation.

The white clouds flowed to both sides, revealing a passage into which the huge boat sailed.

After flying out of the sect's protective formation, the giant boat rose further to a height of several thousand feet. A transparent light shield slowly emerged on the edge, blocking the cold air and strong winds outside.

Five Jindan Zhenren stood at the bow of the boat. The disciples did not dare to get too close. They stood on the deck in the middle and rear section of the giant boat, still gathering in groups of three or four as before, and communicating in low voices.

Chen Yuan asked, "Senior Sister Shen, Senior Brother Mo, do you know these elders?"
