Nine Transformations of the True Spirit.

"The royal family of monsters?" The beautiful young woman frowned slightly and looked Chen Yuan up and down. "I'm afraid I'll disappoint you, fellow Taoist. I don't know any news about the royal family of monsters."

Chen Yuan put down the teacup in his hand and said, "Spiritual stones are not a problem."

The beautiful young woman shook her head: "I really don't know, if you need a seventh-level demon pill, these four kinds of demon beasts are enough. The demon beast royal family is very powerful, why do you want to provoke them?"

Chen Yuan stood up and bowed, "I only need information about the monster royal family. Sorry for disturbing you. Goodbye."

After saying that, he turned and left without any hesitation.

The beautiful young woman's eyes flickered as she watched Chen Yuan walk out of the quiet room without saying a word.

Chen Yuan went downstairs and left Qi Mingtang. The girl who was waiting on the street came up to him.

Chen Yuan asked: "Which of the shops opened by the three major sects is the closest to here?"

The girl said, "The nearest one is Zhenhai Pavilion, please follow me, senior!"

The two walked across a street and stopped in front of Zhenhai Pavilion.

Although Zhenhai Pavilion is called a pavilion, it is actually a large hall. It is magnificent and several times larger than Qimingtang. It is always crowded with monks coming in and out.

The girl was still waiting on the street. Chen Yuan stepped in, revealing his cultivation aura. Under the guidance of the welcoming female Qi-refining cultivator, he met the person in charge who was in the middle stage of the Jindan stage.

Chen Yuan was wearing a gold-thread mask. The person in charge of Zhenhai Pavilion did not recognize his identity. However, when he saw that he had reached the late Jindan stage, he was quite enthusiastic.

After the two of them sat down, Chen Yuan went straight to the point and proposed to buy information about the monster royal family.

The head of Zhenhai Pavilion's eyes lit up: "I have information about a level 7 green dragon and a level 7 golden-feathered eagle. It's true and reliable. I can definitely use it to find the traces of these two monsters. Are you interested, fellow Taoist?"

Chen Yuan frowned and asked, "Do you know any news about the Kunyu clan?"

The head of Zhenhai Pavilion said with a smile: "You are indeed new to the Stone Sea and do not know much about the monster race."

"The Golden-Winged Eagles live on islands. The other branches of the Flood Dragons, except for the Blue Flood Dragons, also live on islands. The Red Flood Dragons only live on volcanic islands. It is easier to find their traces, and they don't move around often."

"But the Kun fish are very different. Kun fish are good at space and can escape very quickly. They have no fixed place to stay and like to wander in the deep sea, tempering their bodies and devouring natural treasures. Their numbers are extremely rare, so it is extremely difficult to find their traces."

Chen Yuan nodded thoughtfully and said, "Thank you for your advice, but I only need information about the Kunyu clan. I am not interested in the Green Dragon and the Golden-winged Eagle. I will take my leave now."

The head of Zhenhai Pavilion was quite regretful and stood up to see him off, still saying: "Among the three royal families, the Kunyu clan does have the most powerful bloodline, but it is hard to find its traces. The Golden-winged Eagle and the Green Dragon are only slightly inferior. If you can kill these two monsters, this pavilion is willing to pay a high price to buy the monster pill..."

Chen Yuan just declined politely and left Zhenhai Pavilion.

He knew what the person in charge of Zhenhai Pavilion was thinking. Over the years, the borders between humans and monsters had become stable. Since the death of old man Dan Jue, major wars had rarely broken out.

If the three major sects directly attack the demon beast royal family, it is likely to cause conflict and even bring about a beast tide.

Kongyu Island is not as impregnable as Xue Island. Even Xue Island has been attacked by a tide of beasts before. Kongyu Island is even less stable.

Selling the news and letting others take action, hiding behind the scenes to purchase materials for demon pills can not only weaken the demon clan, but also avoid conflicts with the demon beast royal family.

A thousand years ago, the three major sects did not act in this way. At that time, wars between the two races broke out frequently, and beast tides were also extremely frequent. There would be no compromise at all.

But the war could not last long. Both races could not afford the continued casualties of high-level monks, so they gradually stopped and formed a tacit understanding.

The three royal families will not easily enter the Sea of ​​Rocks and the Sea of ​​Ink to rob and kill monks, and people from the three major sects will not casually enter the Sea of ​​Ten Thousand Demons to hunt monsters.

But everyone knows that this is just a temporary rest.

The contradiction between the human race and the demon race is irreconcilable. As the number of cultivators and demon beasts increases, the demand for cultivation resources grows day by day. A war will eventually break out, and it will be either you die or I die.

……

After Chen Yuan left Zhenhai Pavilion, he went to Tianji Pavilion and did get some information, but they were all widely circulated things and were of no use at all.

For example, the Kunyu clan’s homeland is on Beiming Island, which is a large island, but there are several transformed demon kings stationed on the island, and a large formation has been set up, so no one dares to attack Beiming Island.

The Kun fish clan is already rare in number, and they like to swim in the deep sea. Even the well-informed Zhenhai Sect and Tianji Sect don't know much about them.

After Chen Yuan left Tianji Pavilion, he came to the last Zhengqitang under the guidance of the girl.

The head of Zhengqi Hall is a young monk who calls himself Xue Yuanlong. He looks only about twenty years old, but his eyes are quite vicissitudes, as if he has seen all the affairs of the world. He has two strands of white hair hanging on his temples and has an elegant temperament.

When Chen Yuan proposed to buy information about the Kunyu Clan, Xue Yuanlong smiled and said, "I know a little about the Kunyu Clan, but it's very difficult to get information about the Kunyu Clan. It requires a lot of spirit stones. Fifty high-quality spirit stones for one piece of information, would you accept it?"

Chen Yuan was delighted. He walked past four shops in succession and finally found nothing.

He said in a deep voice: "Spiritual stones are not a problem, but how can Fellow Daoist Xue guarantee that the news is true and reliable?"

"If I spend a lot of money just to buy some information that is hard to tell whether it is true or false, but in the end I can't find a single Kun fish, wouldn't that be a big loss?"

Xue Yuanlong said: "Don't worry, fellow Daoist. Our trade route connects to Jiuxianzhou and we have some dealings with the demon tribe. The news about the Kunyu tribe came from within the demon tribe and is guaranteed to be true and reliable."

Chen Yuan's eyes narrowed slightly: "Fellow Daoist Xue really trusts me enough to tell me such a secret."

Xue Yuanlong smiled slightly: "Daoyou came from Renzhou, I don't know the inside story."

"The Ten Thousand Monsters Sea has some unique spiritual herbs and materials, and the Jade Purity Sea also has some special products. Exchanging what we have with the monsters is what the three major sects are doing."

"Even some medium-sized sects and families are like this. Everyone knows it tacitly. It's just that our sect has the largest business and is the most informed."

Chen Yuan's heart moved, and he asked curiously: "How did Fellow Daoist Xue know that I am from Renzhou?"

Xue Yuanlong said, "I once traveled to Renzhou and participated in the Fanyang Auction. I also have a mask like the one on your face."

He raised his right hand, and an exquisite gold-thread hollow mask appeared in his palm, exactly the same as the one Chen Yuan was wearing. Chen Yuan's eyes flashed, and he smiled and said, "To be honest, I did come from Renzhou. I came to Kongyu Island because I needed a Kunyu Demon Pill to refine a magic weapon. I wanted to find out the news about the Kunyu clan before going out to sea to hunt monsters."

"Since Fellow Daoist Xue has traveled to Renzhou, he must have some connection with me. I think the news about the Kunyu Clan cannot be false. I wonder when did Fellow Daoist Xue go to Renzhou?"

Xue Yuanlong put away his mask, and the two of them then talked about things in Renzhou, especially the grand occasion of the Fanyang auction, and they had a very pleasant conversation.

Xue Yuanlong revealed that he traveled to Renzhou more than a hundred years ago, participated in the Fanyang auction, and even traveled to Ningzhou west of Renzhou.

Chen Yuan stayed in Renzhou for eleven years. Although he was in seclusion practicing most of the time, he had several casual conversations with Pei Song, Cheng Xianmo, and Zhang Wushan, and had a deep understanding of Renzhou. He also personally experienced the Fanyang auction, and there was no flaw in his words.

After a long time, Xue Yuanlong returned to the topic and said, "We have five pieces of information about the Kun Fish Clan, involving the traces of the seventh-level Kun Fish. How many do you need?"

Chen Yuan said without hesitation: "I want them all."

"Fellow Daoist, you are straightforward!" Xue Yuanlong smiled, took out a jade slip from the mustard seed ring and handed it over.

Chen Yuan took the jade slip and used his spiritual sense to explore inside. Xue Yuanlong was not in a hurry to ask for the spirit stone. He just watched quietly, picked up the teacup and sipped the tea carefully.

After a while, Chen Yuan withdrew his consciousness and frowned slightly: "Do you have more detailed information? Spiritual stones are not a problem."

These five pieces of information are indeed related to the traces of the level seven Kun fish. If they are true, it is not difficult to find a level seven Kun fish as long as you follow the map, but they have nothing to do with Kun Feng.

Xue Yuanlong looked embarrassed: "This..."

Seeing this, Chen Yuan raised his sleeves and a jade bottle appeared on the table. He said, "This is the reward for the five pieces of information. Please accept it, fellow Taoist."

When Xue Yuanlong saw that what Chen Yuan took out was not a spirit stone but a jade bottle, he was stunned for a moment, then he took the jade bottle, opened the stopper, and poured out three pills full of spiritual energy.

"Yellow Tooth Pill?" He showed a look of surprise and examined it carefully before putting the pill back into the jade bottle.

Chen Yuan said: "These three pills should be enough to buy these five pieces of information, right?"

Xue Yuanlong smiled and said, "Of course, three late-stage Jindan pills are a bit more than what I paid for these five pieces of information. I will ask you to give me fifty high-quality spirit stones."

After saying that, he raised his sleeve and a small pile of spirit stones appeared out of thin air on the table.

Chen Yuan took a quick glance and counted the number, which was exactly fifty. He raised his sleeve and put the spirit stones into the mustard seed ring. At the same time, a jade bottle appeared out of thin air on the table.

Xue Yuanlong looked at the jade bottle and asked, "What do you mean, fellow Taoist?"

Chen Yuan said: "This bottle of medicine is called Yue Gu Dan, and its medicinal power is similar to Huang Chi Dan. As long as Daoist Xue's information satisfies me, this bottle of Yue Gu Dan will belong to Daoist Xue."

As he spoke, he opened the cork and pointed. Ten crystal white pills flew out of the bottle in a row, filling the room with spiritual energy and fragrance.

Xue Yuanlong only felt that the speed of the circulation of true energy in his body had increased a bit. He stared at the ten pills with fiery eyes.

He had just broken through the bottleneck of the late stage and was in need of elixirs for cultivation. These ten Moon Gu Pills were enough to save him thirty years of hard work.

Chen Yuan pointed again, and ten pills flew back into the bottle. He replaced the stopper, and the rich spiritual energy slowly dissipated, but the refreshing fragrance of the pills still lingered in the quiet room.

Xue Yuanlong looked at the jade bottle reluctantly, frowning: "These five pieces of information are all the information I have about the seventh-level Kun fish. There are still a few pieces of information related to the Kun fish monster king. Even if I tell my friends, it will be useless."

Chen Yuan said, "How about this, Fellow Daoist Xue, tell me about the Kunyu Demon King involved in these pieces of news. If there is anything I'm interested in, Fellow Daoist Xue can tell me the details. How about that?"

Xue Yuanlong's eyes lit up: "This makes sense, please wait a moment, fellow Taoist."

After saying this, he took out a blank jade slip from the mustard seed ring, closed his eyes slightly, and probed his spiritual consciousness into it.

After a while, he opened his eyes and handed the jade slip to Chen Yuan.

Chen Yuan took the jade slip and probed inside with his spiritual consciousness, and found three names written on it, namely "Kun Tong, the eighth level demon king", "Kun Mi, the ninth level demon king", and "Kun Lang, the eighth level demon king".

When Chen Yuan saw Kun Tong's name, he was delighted. He withdrew his consciousness and said, "To be honest with you, Fellow Daoist Xue, before I came to your hall, I also went to Tianji Pavilion and Zhenhai Pavilion to inquire about the news of the Kunyu clan."

"I heard that this level 8 demon king Kun Tong has a human-demon hybrid offspring named Kun Feng, who is also a level 7 demon beast, is that correct?"

Xue Yuanlong nodded, his expression slightly more serious: "Yes, Kunfeng is the son of Kuntong. Not many people know about this, but Zhenhai Sect, Tianji Sect and the demon clan have some secret dealings, so it's not surprising that they know about this. Are you interested in Kunfeng, fellow Taoist?"

Chen Yuan nodded slightly. "That's right. The Kunyu Demon Pill I need requires a bloodline that is as pure as possible. According to the people in charge of Zhenhai Pavilion and Tianji Pavilion, this Kunfeng is quite powerful and his bloodline should be quite pure. But when I asked further, they were vague."

Xue Yuanlong showed hesitation, but he saw the bottle of Moon Gu Pill on the table from the corner of his eye, so he said, "Well, I'll tell you a piece of news for free. This Kun Feng is extremely powerful. He has mastered the art of teleportation before he has survived the transformation thunder tribulation. Eight years ago, he encountered an ambush by the Jiaolong clan, and he tore a golden Jiao and a red Jiao alive and broke out of the siege!"

Chen Yuan's expression changed slightly, but it was not revealed under the mask. He said, "How could this Kun Feng be so fierce?"

Xue Yuanlong said: "Although Kun Feng killed two dragons, he himself was also seriously injured. He was saved by Kun Tong and survived."

Chen Yuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "The Jiaolong clan would actually openly ambush and kill Kun Feng. It seems that there are constant disputes among the three royal clans."

Xue Yuanlong sneered, "That's right, especially the Kunyu clan and the Jiaolong clan, who are fighting endlessly for the position of the master of the Ten Thousand Monster Sea. They are so short-sighted. Sooner or later, the Ten Thousand Monster Sea will be flattened by our human race!"

The monk Yuqinghai has a deep blood feud with the demon clan. Although there is no major war now and they even have business dealings in secret, they are always thinking about how to destroy them.

Chen Yuan smiled and said, "Your Highness is indeed well-informed. Does Fellow Daoist Xue have any news about Kun Feng? I am willing to use this bottle of Moon Gu Pill to buy it."

Xue Yuanlong's eyes flickered, and he hesitated for a moment before he said, "I do have a piece of news in my hand that is related to Kun Feng, but after being ambushed by the Jiaolong clan, he returned to Beiming Island and did not leave. Daoist friend, please do not waste time on him."

He really wanted to tell Chen Yuan a false news and get this bottle of Yuegu Pill.

But Chen Yuan could easily take out a bottle of late Jindan elixir just to buy a piece of information. He came from Jiuxianzhou and his background was mysterious.

After weighing the pros and cons, he still didn't want to offend Chen Yuan, so he decided to tell the truth.

Chen Yuan smiled and said, "It's okay, Brother Xue, just go ahead and tell me. As long as this information is useful, I will definitely offer you this bottle of Moon Gu Pill with both hands." (End of this chapter)
