Nine Transformations of the True Spirit.

Chapter 249 Zhu Yan
There is no time in cultivation, and years are unknown in the mountains.

Fifteen years passed in a flash. Chen Yuan refined all the three hundred year old spiritual herbs in his hands into pills. He practiced hard in seclusion, and his cultivation finally reached the peak of foundation building. He was only one step away from forming a pill.

After being infused with starlight hundreds of times, his body successfully broke through the bottleneck and became comparable to a fifth-level monster.

Originally, it wouldn't take so much time for him to break through this bottleneck, but it took him several years to refine the elixir and he wasted a lot of times to infuse his body with starlight, so his physical breakthrough had to be delayed.

After Chen Yuan's physical body broke through, he deliberately left Wentian Island and went to a nearby desolate sea area to test himself. His strength suddenly increased to 300,000 pounds. The damage caused to him by mid-grade spiritual weapons was negligible, but high-grade and top-grade spiritual weapons could still threaten him.

After all, Chen Yuan is just a cultivator. Even if his body has been strengthened to such an extent, he is still far from comparable to the white ape. When the white ape is at this level, it is not even afraid of the attacks of ordinary top-grade spiritual weapons.

However, the breakthrough of the physical body also brought a disadvantage, that is, the amplification effect of the giant body secret technique was greatly weakened.

Now that Chen Yuan has practiced the secret technique of the giant body, his height has increased to about nine feet, and he looks more and more like a bronze giant. However, his strength has only increased by twenty or thirty thousand pounds. His protective effect has been greatly improved, and he can resist the attacks of high-quality spiritual weapons.

This secret technique is only useful for cultivators who are in the foundation-building stage. As Chen Yuan's cultivation level continues to approach the stage of forming a pill, his physical body continues to improve, and the effect it plays becomes smaller and smaller.

After returning to Hanxing City, Chen Yuan was not in a hurry to refine the white ape's essence and blood. Instead, he continued to practice in seclusion until his cultivation reached the peak of the foundation building stage.

It is extremely difficult to refine the true spirit essence and blood for the first time. Having a physical body comparable to a fifth-level monster is only the minimum standard. The chance of failure is still very high. Improving your cultivation level can increase the success rate.

On this day, Chen Yuan's cultivation level could no longer improve even a little bit, so he finally stopped practicing and carefully adjusted his breathing for three days, bringing his condition to its peak. With a thought, he took out the White Ape Demon Pill from the mustard seed ring.

The demon core of an ordinary fourth-level demon beast will become dull and its spiritual energy weak after being stored for more than ten years.

But this white ape demon pill is quite different. It is still full of spiritual energy. The whole body is white with a faint reddish hue. From time to time, a ray of light flashes, as if it contains tremendous vitality.

Chen Yuan looked at the demon pill in his hand and couldn't help feeling a little nervous.

Success or failure, it all depends on this.

Only by refining the true spirit essence and blood in the white ape demon pill can he hope to form a golden pill.

If he fails, he will die.

Chen Yuan took a deep breath, and the various experiences he had on the path of cultivating immortals emerged in his mind, and his mood slowly calmed down.

Immortality is elusive, the great path is hard to find, and the path of cultivating immortals is to go against the will of heaven, so why should you be afraid!
He no longer hesitated, and gently tossed the demon pill away. He raised his hand and made a gesture, and his true energy rushed out from his dantian, slowly circulating along the special route recorded in the "Nine Turns of the True Spirit" technique.

Suddenly, Chen Yuan raised his right hand and slapped his chest, spurting out a large mouthful of blood, which fell on the demon pill hanging in the air. At the same time, he pointed and injected a strand of true essence into the demon pill.

The demon pill was wrapped in Chen Yuan's essence and blood, glowing with a strange blood-red color. It trembled slightly and made a buzzing sound. It only calmed down after the true essence was injected into it.

Chen Yuan looked at the demon pill with a focused expression and continued to inject true energy into the demon pill. Before he knew it, three days and three nights had passed.

At this time, most of the true energy in Chen Yuan's body had been consumed, and the essence and blood he sprayed out had also been completely integrated into the demon pill. The white demon pill, which was originally slightly red, had completely turned blood red.

Chen Yuan then stopped pouring his true essence into the demon pill, closed his eyes and meditated, absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

After half an hour, Chen Yuan's internal energy was restored and he opened his eyes again. The fatigue in his eyes disappeared and his eyes were serious.

He slowly raised his right hand and suddenly inserted it into his heart with force!

Blood dripped down his arm, Chen Yuan's eyes bulged, he gritted his teeth and pulled his hand out again, revealing a deep wound, and one could even vaguely see his heart beating hard.

A sharp pain came over him, his forehead was covered with cold sweat, he gasped for a few times, then raised his left hand, grabbed the demon pill hanging in front of him, and slowly put it into his chest.

The blood-red demon pill slowly merged into Chen Yuan's heart. Chen Yuan immediately circulated his true energy, and the wound on his chest healed quickly.

Chen Yuan closed his eyes and looked inward. His heart beat slower and faster, as if he had fallen into a deep sleep.

Chen Yuan practiced the techniques recorded in the Nine Transformations of the True Spirit, and the true energy in his body flowed into specific meridians and began to circulate.

After the true energy circulated for a cycle, Chen Yuan's heart suddenly skipped a beat, as if a hammer had hit a block of iron, making a dull thud.

A stream of dazzling red white ape blood was pumped out from the heart. Chen Yuan felt a huge force erupting in his body. The muscles all over his body suddenly exploded, blood splattered, and the training room was full of blood. He almost couldn't maintain his meditation posture.

"Ouch!" He groaned. The severe pain that tore his whole body apart almost made him faint.

But this was just the beginning. The white ape's blood flowed slowly in Chen Yuan's body, and the pain continued to intensify.

Chen Yuan gritted his teeth, and his true energy rushed out from his dantian, quickly repairing his torn body.

The white ape's blood flowed slowly, and the dazzling red color gradually dimmed, becoming closer and closer to the color of Chen Yuan's blood.

An unknown amount of time had passed, but there was no difference between the white ape's blood and the blood in Chen Yuan's body. He finally refined the white ape's blood.

Chen Yuan gasped heavily for a few times. At this time, he had turned into a bloody man. The speed at which his body repaired could not keep up with the speed at which his wounds were tearing. His whole body was covered in blood and he looked extremely terrifying.

Just a wisp of white ape's blood essence almost caused his physical body to collapse.

And this is just the beginning. He needs to refine all the essence and blood in the white ape demon pill in order to obtain the true spiritual bloodline.

The next moment, his heart beat heavily and pumped out the second strand of white ape's blood.

Even greater pain came over him, and Chen Yuan felt as if he was thrown into a huge millstone. The millstone ruthlessly rolled over his body, trying to grind him into powder.

Then he was thrown into the volcanic magma, his whole body was surrounded by a burning sensation and was about to be burned to ashes.

The wounds on his body became more numerous and denser, and blood gushed out happily.

But his body was not surrounded by flames. This was an illusion, coming from the pain in his soul.

The strange white flame that could burn the spiritual consciousness was torturing Chen Yuan.

This is a natural magical power derived from the white ape bloodline. If Chen Yuan wants to refine the true spirit essence and blood in the white ape demon pill, he must overcome this difficulty.

Chen Yuan endured pain comparable to that of soul refining, and finally he could no longer bear it and screamed loudly.

He had never been so miserable before. He felt like a ghost thrown into the eighteen levels of hell, experiencing the most severe torture in the world.

Chen Yuan's mind moved, and he took out a medium-grade spiritual wood from the mustard seed ring, put it in his mouth, and bit it hard. The screams suddenly disappeared.

A weird smile slowly appeared on his twisted face.

No one understands the preciousness of life better than Chen Yuan, who died once, and no one desires immortality more than him.

Even though he was in such pain, he never gave up. He was even a little thankful that the white flames only targeted his soul, not his body. He still underestimated the horror of his true spirit blood. Even though his body was comparable to that of a level 5 demon beast, he was still on the verge of collapse when refining his true spirit blood.

If the white flame also affected his body, he would definitely not be able to hold on.

But now, Chen Yuan has successfully refined the first strand of essence and blood, which means that his body can withstand the pressure generated when refining the true spirit essence and blood.

As long as he can endure the severe pain of burning soul, there is hope of refining the essence of his true spirit and blood.

But no one knows how much spiritual essence and blood is contained in the White Ape Demon Pill, and how long Chen Yuan needs to hold on.

This is an endless purgatory.

After an unknown amount of time, Chen Yuan successfully refined the second strand of white ape's blood essence.

Then came the third strand of blood essence, and the pain came endlessly, but Chen Yuan's heart was as solid as a rock.

Once the refining of the true spirit essence and blood begins, it cannot be stopped.

There are only two paths before him, one is death and the other is success.

The third strand of blood essence, the fourth strand of blood essence, the fifth strand of blood essence...

The white ape's blood essence flowed extremely slowly, just like the knife in the hands of an executioner who was executing a person by slow slicing.

But Chen Yuan managed to get through it bit by bit. He refined more and more white ape essence and blood, and the pain he suffered gradually eased.

Suddenly one day, the pain was so light that it could be ignored, and purgatory ended.

Chen Yuan refined hundreds of strands of white ape's blood essence, and the white ape demon pill in his heart was only the size of a soybean.

Finally, his heart beat heavily, and with a thud, the last bit of white ape's blood was pumped into the blood vessels, and the white ape demon pill shattered silently.

This strand of white ape's blood was dazzlingly red, as red as the first strand of white ape's blood.

But it flowed much faster and soon flowed throughout Chen Yuan's body and returned to his heart. The dazzling red color also dimmed, and it was no different from the blood in Chen Yuan's body.

Boom!
When this strand of essence and blood returned, his heart beat heavily. Chen Yuan opened his eyes, and a ray of white light suddenly lit up, illuminating the dim stone chamber, but then disappeared, as if it was just an illusion.

At this time, Chen Yuan's body was covered with blood scabs, and his top-grade robes were shattered under the huge force from inside out.

Chen Yuan used a dust removal technique to clean the robes and blood scabs, changed into a new white robe, and cleaned off all the blood stains that were splashed on the stone walls of the training room.

He raised his hand and took in an hourglass in the corner of the training room.

This hourglass is a time-measuring device. When monks are in seclusion and practicing, they don't notice the passage of time. Almost everyone has a similar time-measuring device.

The hourglass contained 10,000 grains of sand, and every twelve hours, a grain of sand fell. With a sweep of his spiritual sense, he found 3,754 grains of sand at the bottom of the hourglass.

It took him ten years to refine the essence of his true spirit.

But it was all worth it. Chen Yuan put the hourglass into the storage bag, clenched his fist slightly, felt the explosive power contained in his body, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

The true spirit essence contained in the white ape demon pill is extremely rich. After refining it all, Chen Yuan's physical strength increased greatly, comparable to that of a sixth-level demon beast.

His strength has also greatly increased. Although it has not been verified, it is at least twice as much as before.

If he meets Liu Fan again now, he will never flee in panic, at least he can fight Liu Fan to a draw.

Chen Yuan’s gains were more than that. He could now use the strange white flame that could burn spiritual consciousness.

Chen Yuan raised his hand and made a gesture, the true energy in his body slowly surged, and his black hair slowly turned white, and after ten breaths, it turned pure white.

A layer of white flames slowly emerged and wrapped around his hands.

Chen Yuan clenched his fists, feeling the tremendous power in his body, and a great sense of pride rose in his heart.

Even if a Jindan cultivator stood in front of him, he had the confidence that he could blow him to pieces with one punch!
But this state did not last long. After a few breaths, the true energy in his body was exhausted, the white flame on his hand slowly dissipated, and his white hair turned black again.

He shook his head, sat down again, and meditated, with a smile on his face all the time.

His "Nine Transformations of the True Spirit" has finally been accepted by the public.

After Chen Yuan refined all of the white ape's blood essence, he obtained a fragmentary inherited memory and realized that what he had refined was Zhu Yan's blood essence.

Zhu Yan is an extremely powerful true spirit, shaped like an ape, with a white head and bare feet, and is in charge of killing.

The true spiritual blood in the white ape's body is very strong, which is why its appearance is somewhat similar to Zhu Yan.

That strange white flame is called Zhuyan True Fire, which can burn the souls of all living beings in the world, causing them unbearable pain, stirring up murderous intent in living beings and causing chaos in the world.

It was by relying on this innate magical power that the white ape destroyed the imprint of Chen Yuan's spiritual consciousness left in the spiritual weapon, and even almost burned Chen Yuan's soul along the spiritual connection.

After Chen Yuan stimulated the blood and essence of Zhu Yan in his body, he could also control the white flames to fight the enemy, but due to his cultivation level, he could only attach the flames to his hands and could not leave his body to attack the enemy.

This method of stimulating the essence and blood of the true spirit is the only magical power recorded in "Nine Transformations of the True Spirit".

After Chen Yuan stimulates Zhu Yan's true blood, his appearance will change to a certain extent, and he can use the magical powers of Zhu Yan's true spirit.

The power of this supernatural power is related to the level of cultivation and the true spirit essence and blood. The higher the level of cultivation, the more true spirit essence and blood are refined, and the more supernatural powers one has.

If he practices "Nine Transformations of the True Spirit" to the extreme and the Zhu Yan's true blood in his body is rich enough, Chen Yuan can even transform into Zhu Yan's true spirit and have the power to destroy the world.

But his cultivation is now low, and the Zhuyan essence and blood in his body is relatively thin. After stimulating the true blood, it can only last for a few breaths and can barely drive the Zhuyan true fire. Only after forming the pill will there be any improvement.

However, Chen Yuan is not yet able to reach the stage of Danjie. The essence of the true spirit is a treasure of heaven and earth. In addition to strengthening Chen Yuan's physical body, refining Zhu Yan's true blood also makes his true essence more refined. His dantian and meridians are also greatly widened, able to accommodate more true essence. Even the speed of absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth has become much faster, comparable to that of a cultivator with four spiritual roots.

Chen Yuan only knew that some rare thousand-year-old spiritual herbs could improve the qualifications of cultivators after being refined into elixirs. It turned out that refining the essence of the true spirit had the same effect, which gave him a big surprise.

He had originally cultivated to the peak of the foundation building stage, but now he has regressed to the initial late stage of the foundation building stage. He must accumulate true energy again before he can break through to the pill forming stage.

This will slow down his cultivation speed, but it will make his foundation more solid, greatly increase his potential, and make his path longer.
