Nine Transformations of the True Spirit.

Chapter 247 Yuqing Sea

The darkness before dawn gradually faded away, and a bright light appeared between the sea and the sky, like a lit torch, burning the deep blue sea and gray clouds.

Gradually, the entire eastern sky was burning red. This was the dawn. The sun slowly rose from the sea, and the sea and sky suddenly became bright and brilliant.

The sun shines on a small island. It is a quiet island, only a few miles in size. There is a small stone house on the shore. A monk stands in front of the stone house, gazing at the rising sun in the sky with a leisurely look.

This man is tall, wearing a white shirt, with fair skin and sword-like eyebrows. His appearance cannot be described as handsome, but he is quite attractive. He has a pair of bright and lively eyes and a free and easy temperament. He is none other than Chen Yuan who was teleported from Donghuazhou.

He stayed on this island for a year and experienced dozens of starlight infusions. All the lost blood and essence in his body was restored, and he got rid of his skeleton-like evil spirit appearance.

During this year, his progress was extremely slow due to the loss of his essence and blood, which damaged his foundation. However, his body was continuously infused with starlight, and he was only one step away from breaking through the bottleneck and becoming comparable to a fifth-level monster.

This is the terrifying power of the Zhoutian stars. Although Chen Yuanming’s essence and blood have been severely depleted, he is still able to strengthen his body. Even the thousand-year-old spiritual herbs cannot have this effect.

However, the power of the stars in the sky could not improve his cultivation. After a year, Chen Yuan was still at the initial stage of foundation building.

Therefore, he did not plan to stay on this deserted island any longer. He had to improve his cultivation and strengthen his body so that he could refine the true spirit essence and blood contained in the white ape demon pill and strive to form the pill.

All of this requires spiritual veins and elixirs, so this is not a place to stay for long.

Chen Yuan stroked his storage bag, took out a bright yellow flying boat, raised it into the sky, and flew westward.

The place he was going to next was called Wentian Island.

Chen Yuan had to thank Master Qingyou for his memory, which prevented him from being completely in the dark.

Jiuxianzhou is vast, covering millions of miles in radius, far larger than Donghuazhou. Even for a Nascent Soul cultivator, it would be difficult to travel across the entire continent.

To the east of Jiuxianzhou, there is a Yuqing Sea, which is the sea area where Chen Yuan is located. It is also vast and boundless, covering an area of ​​hundreds of thousands of miles. It is full of spiritual energy, dotted with islands, and has countless cultivators.

The Silent Sea borders the Jade Purity Sea, covering an area of ​​tens of thousands of miles, and is a restricted area for all living creatures.

To the north and south of the Silent Sea, as well as to the farther east, is the boundless Sea of ​​Ten Thousand Monsters, where countless monsters live.

Originally, these monsters lived in the Yuqing Sea, which was full of spiritual energy. In ancient times, they were driven out by the sage monks of Jiuxianzhou.

The ancient sages founded a sect in Yuqing Sea, which has been passed down to this day, and they have been hunting monsters and expanding the sea.

Wentian Island is a large island in the eastern part of Yuqing Sea. A thousand years ago, it was the headquarters of the Wentian Sect.

The Wentian Sect is a large sect with a history of ten thousand years. There are several Nascent Soul cultivators in the sect, and even three great cultivators in the past, who are very famous in the Yuqing Sea.

But more than a thousand years ago, the Wentian Sect was suddenly destroyed overnight, and all the cultivators on the Wentian Island died. Only two Nascent Soul cultivators who were not on the island at the time and some low-level cultivators survived.

Master Qingyou was one of them. He happened to be out visiting a friend at the time and luckily escaped the disaster.

After learning the sad news, he was horrified and immediately returned to Wentian Island, took the Wentian Ding and fled.

There are only three large sects in the Yuqing Sea. Even if the other two sects join forces, it is impossible for them to destroy the Wentian Sect overnight.

Anyone who can do this easily is either an extremely powerful cultivator or a giant sect in Jiuxianzhou.

No matter who it is, no one can defeat Master Qingyou.

He had no intention of seeking revenge for his sect, he just wanted to stay away from this place of trouble.

In the past, the Wentian Sect was rampant in the Yuqing Sea, and had many feuds with the other two sects. In the competition for islands in the sea and cultivation resources, it destroyed many medium-sized sects and immortal cultivation families, and made countless enemies.

After the mysterious destruction of the Wentian Sect, no one had occupied the Wentian Island. The other two major sects watched for a while and then immediately started a fight to seize the Wentian Island and wipe out the monks of the Wentian Sect.

Those cultivators who had grudges against the Wentian Sect also took action to hunt down the remaining cultivators of the Wentian Sect.

The two Nascent Soul cultivators were soon besieged to death, and the surviving Jindan cultivator could only hide from place to place and struggle to survive.

True Man Qing You was also hunted to a corner and had no choice but to enter the Silent Sea and escape to Donghua Continent through the ancient teleportation array.

Later, when he sneaked back to Yuqing Sea, the ownership of Wentian Island was still uncertain. The other two major sects were fighting fiercely and fighting to the death, and gradually they no longer cared about the pursuit of the Wentian Sect monks.

However, those medium-sized sects and immortal cultivation families that had been suppressed by the Wentian Sect were relentless and set traps in the Wentian Sect's secret caves, ambushing and killing the remaining cultivators of the Wentian Sect.

The strength of Yuqinghai's medium-sized sect is comparable to the six sects of Qi State. The sect leaders are all Nascent Soul cultivators. It is easy to send out several Jindan cultivators to set up an ambush.

Unfortunately, Master Qingyou fell into a trap, but with his powerful strength he killed the two men, escaped, and returned to Donghuazhou.

However, his injuries were severe and difficult to treat, and he failed in his attempt to reach the Nascent Soul stage. He died not long after, leaving behind only a wisp of spirit, which lingered on in the Soul-Nourishing Tree.

Master Qingyou never knew until his death what kind of powerful enemy the mighty Wentian Sect had provoked, which led to the entire sect being destroyed overnight.

Chen Yuan was not interested in exploring the whole story. Although he had obtained the memory of Master Qingyou, he was not affected by it and was happy to see the Wentian Sect buried in the dust of history.

He just wanted to use the large spiritual veins on Wentian Island to practice and achieve Dan.

When a cultivator is forming a pill, he needs to absorb a vast amount of spiritual energy from heaven and earth, and he must have at least one small spiritual vein.

In addition, spiritual energy can be absorbed through other methods, such as high-quality spirit stones, elixirs, etc., but Chen Yuan cannot afford them. The best way is to use the spirit veins to form elixirs.

In the Yuqing Sea, islands with a radius of less than 20 miles are micro islands, those with a radius of less than 50 miles are small islands, those with a radius of less than 100 miles are medium-sized islands, and those with a radius of less than 200 miles are large islands.

The area of ​​a micro-island is too small to carry spiritual veins. Spiritual veins can only exist on larger islands.

Most of the small islands have a small spiritual vein, but there are also Jindan cultivators in charge. Those islands with medium-sized spiritual veins are all occupied by medium-sized sects or immortal cultivation families.

If a casual cultivator wants to form a pill, he can only join these forces, or go to the market on a large island and rent a cave.

There are only three large islands in the Yuqing Sea, which are occupied by three large sects. Caves are rented out in the markets they set up. The top-level caves have a concentration of spiritual energy comparable to that of small spiritual veins, and can be used by independent cultivators to form pills.

This was the situation a thousand years ago. Now that the Wentian Sect has been destroyed, there must have been some changes, but the Wentian Island has not been destroyed, and the large spiritual veins on the island are still intact. No matter which large sect occupies it, it should continue to rent out the caves.

Of course, if the rules on Wentian Island changed, Chen Yuan could only go to the other two large islands. …

Chen Yuan followed the path remembered by Master Qingyou and flew for more than ten days before arriving at a small island.

The name of this island is Fuyang Island. A thousand years ago, there was a small sect called Dingying Sect on the island, which opened a market.

Yuqing Sea is different from Donghua Continent. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth is rich, and the difficulty of cultivation is greatly reduced. There are densely distributed islands and countless independent cultivators. There is almost a market on every island with a spiritual vein.

However, the markets on small islands are often very small and extremely simple, and can only radiate to an area of ​​several hundred miles around the sea.

There are only two streets in the market town on Fuyang Island, but it was built by immortal cultivators after all. The shops along the street are exquisite and elegant with carved beams and painted buildings, far surpassing the gardens and courtyards of wealthy families in the mortal world.

Different from the market town in Qi State, there is no formation outside the market town in Fuyang Island. There are not only cultivators but also many mortals on the street.

As soon as Chen Yuan landed his light of escape and walked into the market, a mortal man in his thirties came up to him and bowed respectfully: "Master, do you need me to lead the way? I have lived on Fuyang Island since I was a child. I am very familiar with every store in the market. I can save you a lot of time and energy. You just need to give me a low-grade spirit stone."

Chen Yuan stroked his storage bag, took out a low-grade spirit stone, handed it to the mortal man, and said calmly: "Lead the way, I want to go to the largest shop selling jade slips in the market."

The mortal man was overjoyed. He took the spiritual stone with both hands, bowed, and raised his hand to invite: "Master, please come this way..."

These mortals who lead the monks in the market are called Hyacinths. They are not only widely found in the market of Yuqing Sea, but also very common in the market of Jiuxianzhou. Some low-level monks who are down and out are also forced to do this business.

Unlike Donghua Continent, Jiuxian Continent is rich in spiritual energy, and the chance of mortals possessing spiritual roots is greatly increased, with one in every hundred people having a spiritual root.

For the immortal cultivation sects in Donghua Continent, cultivation resources are already scarce, and checking the spiritual roots of mortals is not worth the cost. There are only a handful of people with spiritual roots among ten thousand people, and most of them have low qualifications. Even if they are accepted into the sect, it is just a waste of resources.

For them, the best option is to absorb fresh blood from various immortal cultivation families, and then accept the true spiritual root cultivators among the independent cultivators into the sect, while those with false spiritual roots will be allowed to practice on their own.

The chance of mortals in Jiuxianzhou having spiritual roots is very high. Each sect will regularly check the qualifications of mortals. As long as someone has spiritual roots, they will be accepted as a disciple. Even cultivators with five spiritual roots will have the opportunity to practice.

The Nine Immortal Continent has rich spiritual energy, and the difficulty of cultivation is greatly reduced. Practitioners with five spiritual roots also have the opportunity to cultivate to the late stage of Qi Refining, but the hope of building a foundation is extremely low.

They can cultivate spiritual herbs, protect mortals, help them resist natural disasters, and reduce the mortality rate of mortals.

For the sects in Jiuxianzhou, the more mortals they rule over, the more seeds of immortal cultivation there are, and the more likely it is that a genius will appear.

Therefore, all mortals know about the existence of immortal cultivators. Some things that immortal cultivators would not do due to face would be delegated to mortals, such as Hyacinthus.

Most of the immortal cultivators in Qi State live in the market towns and are very familiar with them. However, there are many independent cultivators in Jiuxianzhou, and most of them are devoted to their cultivation and rarely go to the market towns, so they need someone to lead the way.

Chen Yuan and the mortal man walked forward all the way. After asking a few questions on the way, he found out that the sect that now occupied Fuyang Island was called Luoyang Sect, and Dingying Sect had been destroyed at some point.

The mortal man led Chen Yuan to a shop called "Wanjuanzhai" deep in the market town, waited outside the door, and let Chen Yuan enter on his own.

According to the rules of Yuqinghai, ordinary people can only lead the way in the market and are not allowed to enter shops.

Chen Yuan walked in. The environment in Wanjuanzhai was elegant, and jade slips, ancient books and other items were placed on the bookshelves around it.

A middle-aged monk stood there with a smile on his face. Beside him, a young monk was using his spiritual sense to examine a jade slip.

Chen Yuan stood aside and waited quietly. After a while, the young monk bought the jade slip and left the shop. The middle-aged monk came up to him.

This person has a strong aura and is a cultivator in the early stages of foundation building.

Chen Yuan took the initiative to show his aura. His cultivation in the late stage of foundation building made the middle-aged cultivator dare not neglect him. He bowed and said with a smile: "Welcome to my humble shop. I am Liu Fuzi, the master of Wanjuanzhai. What do you need?"

Chen Yuan replied, "My name is Zhao Shan. I have been in seclusion for more than ten years and just came out a few days ago. I don't know much about the outside world. I want to buy the jade slips of the past ten years."

The middle-aged monk smiled and said, "Please wait a moment, Daoist friend. I will go get it right away."

He turned and walked towards the back hall. Chen Yuan stood with his hands behind his back, waiting quietly.

As the name suggests, the Current Affairs Jade Slip is a jade slip that records the current affairs of the world of immortal cultivation.

Monks are just like ordinary people. As long as there is a business that can make money, someone will do it.

There are many independent cultivators in Yuqing Sea. These cultivators usually practice hard. After coming out, they need to understand the situation in the world of immortal cultivation, so the Jade Slips of Current Affairs came into being.

These jade slips record the changing situations in the world of immortal cultivation, such as the struggles between sects, the advancement of cultivators, the birth of treasures, etc., so that independent cultivators can have a general understanding of the situation in the world of immortal cultivation.

The information in the current situation jade slips is rather vague, and contains many hearsays, but it is the best way for casual cultivators to understand the world of immortal cultivation.

Chen Yuan didn’t know what the current situation of the Wentian Sect was, so he couldn’t go there rashly. He needed to understand the situation clearly first.

After a while, Liu Fuzi returned to the main hall with five jade slips.

"Fellow Daoist Zhao, do you need a jade slip covering a radius of one thousand miles, three thousand miles, five thousand miles, ten thousand miles, or the entire Yuqing Sea?"

Chen Yuan's face lit up: "How many spirit stones does it take to make the jade slip of the current situation of the entire Yuqing Sea?"

He was somewhat surprised to find that in the market of this small island there was actually a jade slip of the current situation of the entire Yuqing Sea.

"Five medium-grade spirit stones." Liu Fuzi replied.

Chen Yuan nodded, took out two medium-grade spirit stones and handed them to Liu Fuzi: "No need to look for them."

Liu Fuzi was startled for a moment, then took the two middle-grade spirit stones and said with a smile, "Daoyou Zhao is very generous."

These two middle-grade spirit stones are both thunder-attribute spirit stones. One can be exchanged for three middle-grade spirit stones of the five elements. Chen Yuan took them out for a deal, and Liu Fuzi got a great deal.

Chen Yuan took the jade slip and used his spiritual sense to investigate. After a moment, he withdrew his spiritual sense and bowed to take his leave.
