Nine Transformations of the True Spirit.

Chapter 251 Guests coming
Three months later, Chen Yuan woke up from his meditation and slowly opened his eyes.

According to the experience gained from the memory of Master Qingyou, after a cultivator has formed the core, it will take at least half a year to stabilize his state before he can come out of seclusion.

But he only practiced for three months before his cultivation became stable and he could fight with others at will without worrying about his realm falling.

After refining Zhu Yan's true blood, "Nine Transformations of the True Spirit" truly revealed the power of the supreme technique. From then on, Chen Yuan truly mastered the practice and saw a glimmer of hope for achieving immortality.

In his dantian, a golden pill was slowly turning. This was the golden elixir.

As the saying goes, "Once I swallow a golden elixir, my life is in my own hands," the golden elixir is condensed from the essence of true energy and mixed with a bit of the origin of the spirit and soul. It is the foundation of the cultivator's path.

Even if one dies unfortunately, the soul can attach itself to the golden elixir, escape from the body, possess someone else's body, and live a new life.

Below the golden elixir is a sea of ​​true essence that is a thousand feet in size.

The Dantian in a cultivator's body is not a real object. Although it is located on the Dantian acupoint, it is not in the same space as the internal organs. It is infinitely small, yet infinitely vast, and extremely mysterious.

The cultivators in Donghua Continent call it Dantian, the cultivators in Yuqing Sea call it Qi Hai, and the cultivators on the Jiuxian Continent call it Zifu.

But no matter how many names it has, the essence is the same.

After a cultivator forms a core, the lake of true essence expands to form a sea of ​​true essence, which is ten times more abundant than before the core formation and is extremely pure. Even the weakest cultivator who has formed a core formation cannot be defeated by a cultivator who has established a foundation.

Of course, descendants of true spirits like the white ape and people like Chen Yuan who refine the essence and blood of true spirits are not included.

But even for Chen Yuan, he had to stimulate Zhu Yan's true blood to have a chance of defeating a Jindan cultivator. Otherwise, he could at best draw with the Jindan cultivator. This was a crushing defeat in terms of cultivation.

In addition, the spiritual awareness of the Jindan cultivator is far superior to that of the foundation-building cultivator.

Chen Yuan did not release his spiritual sense. He didn't know how strong his spiritual sense was, but it would definitely be stronger than that of the cultivators of the same level.

After practicing for nearly a hundred years, Chen Yuan finally obtained the golden elixir, and a faint joy rose in his heart.

The next step is to refine elixirs, improve cultivation, and nurture the two magic weapons, the Golden Dragon Sword and the Wind and Cloud Bell. Most importantly, he must completely absorb Zhu Yan's true blood for his own use.

This is his most powerful magical power, more important than the two magic weapons.

In addition, the thousand-year-old ice silk gloves also need to be upgraded to a magic weapon. His physical body is now comparable to that of a sixth-level monster, and is difficult to be hurt by even the best spiritual weapons, but it cannot resist magic weapons. The thousand-year-old ice silk gloves are indispensable, otherwise he will be restricted in close combat with others.

As a physical cultivation technique, "Nine Transformations of the True Spirit" does not include the method of refining the natal magic weapon, so there is no need to consider this, which saves a lot of effort...

Chen Yuan thought about the next training arrangements, stood up and walked out of the training room.

Eight sound transmission notes were hung in the reception room, emitting a faint spiritual light.

He raised his hand and gathered all the sound transmission notes in his hand. His spiritual sense spread out, and words of congratulations came into his ears.

These sound transmission notes were sent by other cultivators after he had achieved the Core Formation. Most of them were from nearby cultivators who had achieved the Core Formation, congratulating him on his success. Their tone was very cordial. There were also a few who wanted to visit him in person, and their words were earnest.

Chen Yuan read all the sound transmission notes one by one, and found that there was nothing urgent, so he ignored them and returned to the practice room to figure out the elixir recipe and prepare for refining the elixir.

After forming the elixir, the spiritual energy in the cave, which was originally quite rich, became much thinner, and the speed of cultivation was as slow as a turtle.

Small spiritual veins can only support the minimum cultivation of Jindan cultivators. If one wants to improve his cultivation, he must take elixirs, or practice directly in medium-sized or even large spiritual veins.

Large and medium-sized spiritual veins are definitely out of reach for independent cultivators, and they can only rely on elixirs to improve their cultivation.

However, the five hundred year old spiritual herbs are different from the three hundred year old spiritual herbs. The three hundred year old spiritual herbs can mature in decades or even more than ten years under the nourishment of large spiritual veins, and there has always been a relatively sufficient supply in the market.

Five hundred year old spirit herbs can be quickly ripened to three hundred years old, but the remaining two hundred years can only mature little by little, and even in the three major sects, they are extremely scarce. Only giant spirit veins can quickly ripen five hundred year old spirit herbs, but there are no such spirit veins in Yuqing Sea. Only the giant sects on Jiuxianzhou have such means.

This makes the price of five hundred year old spiritual herbs extremely expensive. A most common five hundred year old spiritual herb can be sold for at least fifty medium-grade spiritual stones. Some rare spiritual herbs can even be sold for a sky-high price of hundreds of medium-grade spiritual stones.

It takes at least four or five five-hundred-year-old spiritual herbs to refine a furnace of pills, and the success rate is often only 30% to 40%.

A bottle of early-stage Jindan elixir can be sold for twenty or thirty high-quality spirit stones. Most Jindan cultivators only take one or two elixirs a year, and the rest of the time they have to concentrate on hard practice.

The thirty-two five-hundred-year-old spiritual herbs in Chen Yuan's hand were extremely precious. He did not dare to be careless and studied the pill formula carefully.

Among the three pill recipes in his hand, Youyun Pill is the most difficult to refine, so he put it aside for now. Fucen Pill and Linghai Pill are equally difficult, so Chen Yuan chose to start with Fucen Pill first.

He studied for a long time before he started to refine the pill, being extremely careful and cautious, but he still failed to refine the first batch of Fu Cendan.

Chen Yuan only had two furnaces of Fucen Dan spiritual herbs in his hand. After the first failure in refining, he reviewed it for five days before starting the second time.

The second time of alchemy, he finally persevered to the end, but failed at the stage of condensing the pill.

Chen Yuan withdrew his spiritual sense, sighed, and his face looked very ugly.

It is too difficult to refine pills for the Jindan stage. Although Chen Yuan had a 70% success rate when refining pills for the late foundation building stage, he still had to start from failure.

However, these two failures allowed him to accumulate sufficient experience. When he tried to refine the Fu Cendan for the third time, Chen Yuan finally succeeded and produced two pills.

Chen Yuan looked at the two Fucen Dan hanging in his palm, a smile appearing on the corner of his mouth.

From today on, he is the master of alchemy.

A 20% success rate may seem low, but this is the first batch of Jindan stage pills he has ever made, which is already very good.

Many alchemy masters have only a 10% success rate in their first batch of early-stage elixirs, and they are even ecstatic about it.

Alchemy is different from refining weapons and talismans. Even the strongest weapon refiner or talisman maker can fail sometimes.

However, the failure of alchemy is reflected in the condensation of pills. As long as the alchemist has refined the first batch of pills, he will not fail when refining pills of the same level in the future, no matter how low the success rate is.

It took Chen Yuan two months to refine the elixir three times. Adding the previous one month of researching the elixir formula, it took him three months to stabilize his realm.

He stood up and walked out of the training room, replying to the letters one by one according to the addresses of the caves left in the sound transmission talisman, and never turning away any of the monks who wanted to visit him.

Hanxing City is the most suitable place for Yuqinghai cultivators to practice. Chen Yuan plans to stay here for a long time in the future, and he will inevitably have to deal with other Jindan cultivators.

However, he had already consolidated his cultivation in three months. If he replied immediately, the matter would be exposed, which is why he had delayed it until now.

In less than half an hour, Chen Yuan received two sound transmission notes, which agreed on the time for the visit.

But the others did not reply. They might be practicing in seclusion, or they might have left Wentian Island.

An hour later, a beam of light landed in front of Chen Yuan's cave. Chen Yuan opened the door to welcome the guest and led him into the cave.

This is a beautiful middle-aged woman, wearing a light blue dress, with a graceful figure. Her eyes seem to contain all kinds of charm, but they are not vulgar at all.

She bowed and smiled, "My name is Su Jin, and I am honored to be the elder of the Righteous Alliance. I am here to show my respect to you, fellow Taoist."
