Nine Transformations of the True Spirit.

The Blood Island Market was bustling with people and monks were coming and going. Chen Yuan had been to and from the Blood Island many times and was familiar with the place. He turned a few streets and came to a magnificent shop.

The name of this shop is "Ming Qing Tang". It is owned by a medium-sized sect and occupies a vast area. The interior decorations are extremely luxurious, showing the strong financial strength in the market where every inch of land is valuable.

Chen Yuan pressed down his bamboo hat and stepped inside. A young female cultivator at the tenth level of Qi Refining came up to him and said with a smile, "My fellow Taoist..."

"Take me to see the person in charge of your hall." Chen Yuan did not want to waste time, so he let out a breath and then retracted it, his voice old and low.

The pressure from the cultivator in the early stage of Jindan made the young female cultivator's face change. She bowed in a panic and said, "Senior, please follow me."

Chen Yuan followed the young female cultivator to a quiet room, where a beautiful middle-aged woman was already waiting, her aura of the early stage of Dan Jin was clearly evident.

The Righteousness Alliance can allow the Foundation Establishment Deacons to do business with the guest elders in the Jindan stage, but ordinary stores do not have such confidence and can only let the Jindan cultivators come forward.

After the two of them exchanged greetings, they sat down. Chen Yuan was still wearing his bamboo hat. The middle-aged beautiful woman did not mind and said softly, "My name is Yanrou. What business do you want to do with me, fellow Taoist?"

Chen Yuan lowered his head slightly, half of his face hidden under his bamboo hat: "Can your hall accept monster materials?"

The beautiful woman smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist, are you going to sell monster materials? We will take whatever you have, and the price will definitely satisfy you."

Chen Yuan nodded slightly: "Please take a look, fellow Taoist."

He raised his sleeve and a storage bag slowly flew towards the middle-aged beautiful woman.

A strange look flashed in the eyes of the middle-aged beautiful woman. The storage bag that Chen Yuan took out was of very poor quality. It was something commonly used by foundation-building cultivators. It would be unworthy of a Jindan cultivator to put it in his hands.

But her expression remained calm. She took the storage bag very naturally and used her spiritual sense to explore inside.

After a moment, the beautiful middle-aged woman withdrew her consciousness and smiled even more: "The monster materials in this storage bag should come from seven level five monsters, and they are well preserved. I am willing to pay 35 high-quality spirit stones. What do you think?"

"Yes." Chen Yuan was very frugal with his words.

The scale of monster material transactions in the Blood Island Market is extremely large and the prices are transparent.

Although this price was slightly lower than what Chen Yuan had expected, it was still quite fair. The difference of one or two spirit stones was not worth the effort of bargaining with the beautiful middle-aged woman.

The beautiful middle-aged woman was in a very good mood seeing Chen Yuan being so straightforward, and immediately ordered someone to bring thirty-five top-grade spirit stones and give them to Chen Yuan.

After Chen Yuan left Mingqingtang, he directly rode away from the Blood Island. After escaping for dozens of miles, he changed his clothes in a deserted place, put on a wooden mask, and then returned.

This time, he changed to a different shop to trade, and still exchanged materials from seven or eight monsters for thirty-eight high-quality spirit stones.

In the next two days, Chen Yuan sold the monster materials several times and sold nearly half of the monster materials he had.

In every transaction, he covered his face. His Qi was sometimes at the middle stage of Jindan and sometimes suppressed to the early stage of Jindan. His voice also changed several times. He never used his natural voice to talk to people and was extremely cautious.

But even so, he decisively stopped after selling monster materials for three consecutive days.

The Blood Island Market is extremely large, but the influx of materials from dozens of level five monsters into the market in a very short period of time will still cause turbulence in the market and inevitably attract the attention of interested parties.

On the last day that Chen Yuan sold monster materials, the price was already one or two high-quality spirit stones lower than the previous two days.

The Jindan cultivators who made deals with him would also ask him indirectly whether he had more monster materials, saying that they would eat them all, and it was obvious that they suspected that he was the one who made the large-scale shipments in the market in the past two days.

In this situation, Chen Yuan could only postpone the sale of monster materials to avoid attracting investigation from others.

He cultivated in the cave for two days, and then came to Wei Changhong's residence. He sent out his spiritual consciousness, landed on the formation curtain, and said in a voice transmission: "Daoyou Wei, Chen Yuan is here to visit."

After a while, Wei Changhong pushed the door open and said with a smile: "Fellow Daoist Chen, you came at the right time. A good friend of mine happened to be visiting my house today, so I would like to introduce him to you."

Chen Yuan's eyes flashed, and he said with a smile: "Then I'll trouble you, Brother Wei."

The two walked into the main hall, and an old man sitting on the armchair slowly stood up and nodded to Chen Yuan.

When Chen Yuan saw this person, he was startled, but there was no expression of abnormality on his face. He just nodded and smiled at the old man.

Wei Changhong smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Chen, this is Brother Lu Gui, the head of the Lu family on Wuchen Island in the Qingliu Sea. He has profound cultivation and is one step ahead of you and me on the road to immortality."

"Brother Lu, this is Fellow Daoist Chen Yuan, a guest elder of the Righteous Alliance. We hit it off right away and have a very good relationship."

Chen Yuan looked at the old man opposite him, smiled slightly, and bowed: "Fellow Daoist Lu, I am honored."

Lu Gui returned the greeting and looked at Chen Yuan carefully: "Fellow Daoist Chen, you are too polite. I think you look familiar. Have you been to Wuchen Island?"

Chen Yuan shook his head: "Chen has been hunting monsters in the Mohai Sea and has never been to the Qingliu Sea."

Lu Gui said calmly: "It seems that I remembered it wrongly. I have lived longer and have met more cultivators. It is inevitable that I may be confused. I hope that Fellow Daoist Chen will forgive me."

Chen Yuan smiled and said, "No problem."

Wei Changhong looked at Lu Gui, then at Chen Yuan, with a hint of doubt in his eyes, but he didn't ask anything, just asked the two to sit down.

The three of them sat down as host and guest. Chen Yuan raised his sleeves and flicked them. Nine medium-grade spirit stones slowly flew to Wei Changhong: "Daoyou Wei, this is the rent for the cave that I owe you. Please accept it."

Wei Changhong took the spirit stone and said with a smile, "Fellow Daoist Chen is thoughtful."

He glanced at the spirit stone in his hand nonchalantly, then put it into the mustard seed ring, and turned to look at Lü Gui: "Brother Lü, Fellow Daoist Chen and I have the same level of cultivation, and he has been hunting monsters in the Ten Thousand Monster Sea for many years, so he is very familiar with the Ten Thousand Monster Sea. You can ask Fellow Daoist Chen for advice on what you just said." Lü Gui said indifferently: "It's just a small matter, so I won't bother Fellow Daoist Chen."

Wei Changhong was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Okay, it's me, Meng Lang. Come, Fellow Daoist Chen, Brother Lu, please have some tea..."

He raised his sleeve and flicked it, and the teacup on the table slowly slid towards the two of them.

Lu Gui took the teacup and sipped it gently.

Chen Yuan seemed not to have understood the meaning of Lu Gui's words at all. He took the teacup with a smile and savored it carefully.

Under Wei Changhong's guidance, the three of them talked about their experiences in cultivating immortals and their cultivation, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

Chen Yuan looked normal on the surface, but his mind was filled with thoughts.

He never expected to see Lu Gui here.

However, the Lu family is a subsidiary family of the Zhenhai Sect, and Wei Changhong is an elder of the Zhenhai Sect, so it is normal for the two to know each other.

Chen Yuan carefully recalled his actions on Wuchen Island, confirmed that he had not revealed any flaws and had not revealed his true appearance in front of the Lu family cultivators, and slowly put his mind at ease.

Before he entered the Lu family, he deliberately left a huge scar on his face, controlling the power of his body and not repairing it, completely destroying his appearance. This should be able to hide it from Lu Gui.

But after all, he had caused a big fuss at the Lu family, and he couldn't help feeling a little uneasy, so he got up and said goodbye after an hour.

Wei Changhong tried to persuade him to stay, but he was determined to leave.

Helplessly, Wei Changhong had to stand up and see him off, and Lu Gui followed beside him.

After walking out of the courtyard, Chen Yuan bowed to the two and said, "Please stay, fellow Taoists. If I have time in the future, I will drink tea and discuss Taoism with you two again."

After saying that, he rode on the light and flew towards the cave.

He flew not far before his body suddenly stopped and then turned back and flew out of the Blood Island.

After Chen Yuan left, Lv Gui also said goodbye: "Friend Wei, I suddenly remembered that I have a trivial matter to deal with, so I will take my leave now."

Wei Changhong's eyes flashed, and he looked at Lu Gui meaningfully: "In that case, I won't keep Brother Lu."

Lu Gui bowed and flew away.

Wei Changhong looked at Lu Gui's back, his eyes flickering.

……

After Lu Gui left the Blood Island, he spread out his spiritual sense and flew for dozens of miles, and his speed finally slowed down.

Opposite him, Chen Yuan stood in the air, his expression calm, but a look of vigilance in his eyes.

Lu Gui stared at Chen Yuan: "Should I call you Fellow Daoist Chen or Fellow Daoist Zi Yang?"

Chen Yuan did not answer, but asked: "How did Fellow Daoist Lu know my identity?"

Just when he was saying goodbye and leaving, he received a message from Lu Gui, who revealed his identity as Taoist Zi Yang and asked him to meet outside the Blood Island.

Chen Yuan was very surprised when his identity was discovered by Lu Gui, but he had never been afraid of the Lu family before, and he had no fear at all now, so he came to the appointment immediately.

Lu Gui said: "Although your appearance has changed, your aura has not changed."

"And I just happened to learn a little trick that allows me to discern people's auras. I will never forget anyone I have met before."

Chen Yuan suddenly understood and nodded, "So that's how it is. Fellow Daoist Lu called me here. What's the important matter?"

Lu Gui sneered, "You sneaked into the Lu family, stole the inheritance of old man Dan Jue, and made a great enemy of my Lu family. What do you think I want to do?"

Chen Yuan said: "You are wrong, Fellow Daoist Lu. Elder Dan Jue's inheritance is not from the Lu family, so how can it be stolen?"

"Moreover, I only took away the inheritance and left the space magic weapon to the Lu family. I did not harm the lives of the Lu family cultivators, so I have no hatred with the Lu family."

"And from what I see, you don't have any intention of seeking revenge, so why lie to me?"

Lu Gui suddenly calmed down and stared at Chen Yuan: "How do you know that I have no intention of seeking revenge?"

Chen Yuan said: "If Fellow Daoist Lu wanted to seek revenge, why would he hide the fact that I sneaked into the Lu family?"

"Over the years, I have been keeping an eye on the news of the Lu family, and the Lu family has never revealed any news about me. There is no other explanation except that you have no intention of seeking revenge."

Lu Gui fell silent for a while before he slowly said, "You guessed right. Although I deeply hate you for taking away Elder Dan Jue's inheritance, I don't want to offend an alchemy master, let alone a physical cultivator with extraordinary strength."

Chen Yuan asked, "Then what is the important matter that Daoist Fellow Lu called me here for?"

Lu Gui stared at Chen Yuan and said, "Answer me a question first. Who are you? I have collected information about Wang Lin. The magic weapon you use is completely different from his."

Chen Yuan smiled slightly: "When did I say I was Wang Lin?" (End of this chapter)
