Nine Transformations of the True Spirit.

Chen Yuan looked back at Li Qingshan and smiled: "Yes, you have successfully established your foundation and differentiated into four sword shadows. The most commendable thing is that you are still fearless in the face of life and death. You have developed this sword heart."

Li Qingshan felt relieved, and suddenly felt a huge wave of fatigue coming up. He bowed deeply: "Disciple greets Master!"

Chen Yuan nodded, turned around, looked at the young scholar and Feng Yongyan, his eyes turned cold: "You two are bullying the few with your numbers, so don't blame me for bullying the weak with my strength."

The enormous pressure surged like a sea wave, making it hard for the two men to breathe. Feng Yongyan, who had never experienced such a feeling, blushed, his pale face was full of fear, and he couldn't utter a word.

His father, the dean of the academy, was only at the middle stage of the Jindan realm, but the person in front of him was a cultivator at the late stage of the Jindan realm, one level higher than his father's.

Why didn't this sword cultivator tell me earlier that he had a master who was in the late Jindan stage. If I had known this, why would I have come to cause trouble for him?
The young scholar, bearing the enormous pressure, raised his hands with difficulty and bowed: "Junior Cheng Zaiming from Bailu Academy, greets you, senior."

"Please understand, Senior. It was not us who intended to cause trouble for your disciple. It was he who spoke rudely and insulted our White Deer Academy first."

"Junior Brother Feng, please tell us what happened immediately. Don't let this senior misunderstand you!"

"Oh? Is this true?" Chen Yuan's eyes fell on Feng Yongyan, and he slowly withdrew his pressure, "Then I will give you a chance to figure it out."

The pressure disappeared. Feng Yongyan took a few breaths, looked at Li Qingshan, then looked at the young scholar, and stammered, "This... this..."

Cheng Zaiming said solemnly: "This senior has a profound cultivation. One can tell at a glance that he is a man of virtue. If you tell him the truth, he will surely distinguish right from wrong and handle the matter impartially!"

Feng Yongyan raised his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth and stammered, "Yesterday, I met that...that fellow Taoist in the Qingkang Mountains. He spoke rudely and insulted my White Deer..."

"You are slandering me!" Li Qingshan shouted angrily, "It was you who wanted to force me to buy my level 3 demon pill with ten low-grade spirit stones. So, do you dare not admit it?"

Chen Yuan said calmly: "This matter is simple. I know a little bit about the art of soul searching. Since there is a discrepancy between your two statements, I can find out with a simple search."

Feng Yongyan heard this and no longer dared to hide it: "I was greedy and wanted to force this Taoist friend to buy his demon pill. I beg you to be magnanimous and forgive me this time for the sake of my father!"

Cheng Zaiming's eyes widened, and he said angrily, "Junior Brother Feng, are you serious? You actually lied to your fellow senior brother!"

Feng Yongyan ignored Cheng Zaiming and just stared at Chen Yuan.

Chen Yuan frowned: "Who is your father?"

"My father is Feng Tiande, the abbot of Bailu Academy, a cultivator in the middle stage of Jindan. I am blind and have offended your disciple. Please spare my life!" Feng Yongyan hunched over and bowed deeply. His handsome face was full of pleading, without a trace of dignity.

A playboy like him, when faced with someone he cannot afford to offend, would abandon all his dignity just to stay alive.

But his explanation instead made a hint of murderous intent flash in Chen Yuan's eyes.

Feng Yongyan has already become enemies with Li Qingshan. If the roots are not removed, they will grow again when the spring breeze blows!
Feng Yongyan's heart trembled, and he immediately saw through Chen Yuan's thoughts. He didn't understand anything else, but he was the best at guessing other people's minds. Otherwise, he would not be able to please his father, the dean, and let his father indulge him so much.

He said loudly: "Senior, before the two of us came to look for this fellow Taoist today, Senior Brother Cheng had informed a fellow senior brother. If we fail to get back in time, that senior brother will definitely report it to the master!"

"Oh? Are you threatening me?" Chen Yuan's eyes were filled with murderous intent.

Feng Yongyan said repeatedly: "I dare not, but the headmaster of our Bailu Academy has just formed a Nascent Soul, and I died in the hands of the senior. For the sake of the reputation of the academy, the headmaster will definitely not let it go."

"Senior, why do you want to make enemies with the academy because of me? I beg you to spare my life. Whether it's a beating or a punishment, I will accept it!"

Chen Yuan frowned and looked at Cheng Zaiming: "Is what he said true?"

Cheng Zaiming glared at Feng Yongyan with disgust before saying, "Yes, the headmaster has indeed just formed his Nascent Soul. Before the two of us came to look for this fellow Taoist, I sent a sound transmission note to a senior brother I am close to, telling him about this."

Chen Yuan's face darkened. The headmaster of Bailu Academy had actually formed a Nascent Soul. The lives of these two people could not be saved.

He was not afraid of any cultivator of the same level, but he did not dare to be an enemy of a Nascent Soul cultivator, even if he was a newly promoted Nascent Soul cultivator.

Chen Yuan's expression eased a little: "For the sake of your academy's dean, I will not punish you."

"But you two can be spared the death penalty, but you can't escape the punishment of living. Leave the storage bag behind and apologize to this disciple."

"Storage bag? This, this..." Feng Yongyan's face was full of pain.

For a dandy like him, spirit stones are necessary for all kinds of pleasure-seeking and debauchery. Taking away all his wealth would be more painful than killing him.

Cheng Zaiming also showed a look of reluctance, but immediately took off the storage bag on his waist and bowed deeply to Li Qingshan: "I have wronged you, Taoist friend. If I have offended you, please forgive me."

After saying that, he raised his hand and the storage bag flew towards Li Qingshan.

Li Qingshan took the storage bag, bowed in return, and said calmly: "It's okay, Brother Cheng also believed the slander of the villain."

When Feng Yongyan heard this, his face turned red. The humiliation he suffered today was greater than that in the past hundreds of years.

But he didn't dare to act rashly in front of a cultivator in the late Jindan stage. He took off the storage bag with his trembling right hand, bowed to Li Qingshan, and said dejectedly: "I was greedy and wanted to force you to buy your demon pill. I offended you, which is really wrong. Please forgive me."

After saying that, he also pushed the storage bag forward. Li Qingshan took it, but did not return the greeting. He just said coldly: "Fellow Daoist Feng, you'd better be careful when you walk in the world of immortal cultivation in the future. Don't think that you can do whatever you want just because you have a Jindan cultivator as your father!"

Feng Yongyan felt a surge of shame and anger in his heart. When had he ever been taught a lesson like this?

But the situation was stronger than the person, so he could only smile and say: "You are right, fellow Taoist. I will be more cautious in the future."

Feng Yongyan hated Li Qingshan deeply, but he could only bury this hatred deep in his heart.

His father, the dean of the academy, certainly did not want to offend a cultivator in the late Jindan stage. Although the headmaster of the Bailu Academy was a Yuanying stage cultivator, he would not stand up for a playboy like him.

After they all handed over their storage bags, Chen Yuan said calmly, "Why don't you get out of here?"

The two men bowed deeply as if they had been pardoned, turned around and left at an extremely fast speed, soon disappearing into the horizon.

Chen Yuan turned around and looked at Li Qingshan, a smile on his face: "Qingshan, how are your parents and sister?"

Li Qingshan bowed deeply and said respectfully, "Thank you for your concern, Master. Thanks to the elixir you gave me, my parents and sister are all fine."

Chen Yuan nodded slightly: "Follow me, Master."

He turned and flew into the mountains, and Li Qingshan followed closely behind him. Soon, the two flew into the mountains for dozens of miles and came to a mountain peak, which was the location of the cave opened by Chen Yuan.

The stone door of the cave was quietly covered with moss, but the inside was spotless, obviously someone cleaned it from time to time.

Chen Yuan sat down in the main seat, looked at Li Qingshan, and said with a smile: "You are thoughtful."

Li Qingshan said respectfully: "This is what a disciple should do."

Chen Yuan said: "Tell me in detail how you fell out with that disciple from the White Deer Academy."

Li Qingshan told the story of how Feng Yongyan tried to force the purchase of the demon pill after he had killed the tiger demon. At the end, he said in a cold voice, "Feng Yongyan is cunning and shameless. I was careless for a moment and fell into his trap."

"If Master hadn't arrived by chance, I would have almost died at the hands of him and Cheng Zaiming. One day, I will take their heads to avenge myself!"

Chen Yuan laughed and said, "Do you really think that your master just happened to arrive and saved you?"

Li Qingshan was stunned. Chen Yuan continued, "Before you fought with those two, I returned to Qingshan Village. I saw that they were not friendly and seemed to want to cause trouble for you, so I waited and watched. I only showed up when I saw you were in a desperate situation."

Li Qingshan suddenly understood and bowed: "Disciple understands, Master is training me. I have just entered the foundation building stage (note), and I have gained a lot from fighting with two cultivators in the middle stage of foundation building."

Chen Yuan nodded slightly: "Yes, the world of immortal cultivation is extremely dangerous. Your master cannot protect you all the time. You must be careful in the future and never fall into danger like today."

"Yes, disciple will remember it." Li Qingshan responded solemnly.

Chen Yuan said: "Feng Yongyan is just a playboy. If you have the chance in the future, just kill him, but don't leave any traces."

"Yes, disciple understands. Before I break through the mid-term bottleneck, I will never attack Feng Yongyan and cause trouble for Master." Li Qingshan said solemnly.

Chen Yuan smiled. Li Qingshan's thoughtfulness made him feel at ease.

He said, "Master has been traveling for seven years, and you have successfully established your foundation. You must have practiced very hard, and I think you have accumulated a lot of questions. You can tell me all of them today, and I will answer them one by one for you."

"Yes!" Li Qingshan's eyes were filled with excitement, and he immediately spoke out the key point that he had been thinking about for a long time during his cultivation.

Chen Yuan hit the nail on the head and went straight to the point. In just one day, he answered all the difficult questions that Li Qingshan had accumulated over the past seven years. He then spent another two days instructing Li Qingshan on the next path of cultivation.

He was not a sword practitioner, so he could not teach Li Qingshan the art of splitting light and shadow. He could only point out his way of cultivation, which shortened the time.

After finishing the instruction, Li Qingshan withdrew respectfully, and Chen Yuan came to the practice room to meditate and practice.

The next day, his true energy was fully restored. He walked out of the cave and flew towards the Jinshan market in the west with the light of escape.

Two months ago, he and Jing Shuhan spent a few days together before they reluctantly separated and rushed back to Jiuxianzhou.

He flew all the way and just returned to Qingshan Village today, where he encountered Li Qingshan and Feng Yongyan fighting. He did not take action immediately, but watched and watched how Li Qingshan would respond.

Li Qingshan had just established his foundation and his cultivation was low, but he was extremely talented in sword cultivation and could separate into three sword shadows. He also gained some insights at the moment of life and death, which made Chen Yuan extremely satisfied.

He originally wanted to kill Feng Yongyan and the other two, but the fact that the headmaster of Bailu Academy had actually formed a Nascent Soul was something he had not expected, so he had no choice but to let the two go.

But Li Qingshan still had a grudge with Feng Yongyan. He didn't know how close the relationship between his father, the dean, and the principal of Bailu Academy was. This was a hidden danger and he had to find out.

Moreover, in order to refine the King Kong Apricot, Kunyu Grass and more than twenty eight-hundred-year-old spiritual herbs into elixirs, a lot of auxiliary medicines are needed, which also need to be purchased in the market. (End of this chapter)
