Nine Transformations of the True Spirit.

Just like when they left, Chen Yuan and Zhang Wushan flew for five days and five nights and returned to the Chongde Mountains.

Under the guidance of Zhang Wushan, Chen Yuan entered the gate of Haoran Sect and came to the island in the middle of the lake covered with green willows.

Mr. Qingliu was fishing on the shore with a book in his hand.

The dragon carp was playing in the lake. Even after shrinking its body, it was still about ten feet long. Its golden pupils seemed to be burning like flames, and its two long dragon whiskers were floating in the water.

After the two men greeted each other, Chen Yuan briefly recounted the entire fight, and lightly mentioned the process of his defeat of Chang Geng and Ye Wendi.

But Zhang Wushan supplemented it and told him all about the art of teleportation, the art of life sword, the "Demon God Secret", etc.

He would not hide anything in front of Mr. Qingliu.

Mr. Qingliu's gentle expression slowly changed. Even for a Nascent Soul cultivator, what Chen Yuan showed was surprising enough.

He asked, "My friend, you are actually practicing the Demon God Art. I must have misjudged you. I wonder who your master is. Could it be the Kuixing Patriarch?"

"Among the independent cultivators in Yuqing Sea, he is the only one who can take out a demon pill of the Kun Fish Demon King for you to refine, right?"

Chen Yuan's heart moved. Although the Haoran Sect did not interfere in the affairs of Yuqing Sea, it knew the situation of the Yuqing Sea's immortal world very clearly.

Ancestor Kuixing is the number one physical cultivator in Yuqinghai. Although he has only reached the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, it is said that he once fought a fierce battle with the leader of the Zhenhai Sect, and the result was a draw. His strength is unfathomable.

Chen Yuan bowed and said, "I don't have a master. It was just by chance that I accidentally entered the cave of an ancient cultivator and obtained a demon pill from the Kunyu Demon King and a set of "Demon God Sutra". Only then did I achieve my current level of cultivation."

Lay Buddhist Qingliu gave him a deep look and said, "My friend, you have no sect or school, and you have no master, but your cultivation has progressed so quickly. It is not easy at all. You are truly a genius..."

Chen Yuan lowered his eyelids slightly, with a smile on his face and a respectful expression.

Of course he knew that his words were full of loopholes and could not stand up to scrutiny.

But Zhang Wushan once said that Mr. Qingliu hoped that he would do him a favor after the baby was formed.

In addition, Mr. Qingliu was so concerned about him that he not only guaranteed him and helped him to use the spiritual vein to form a baby, but also allowed Zhang Wushan to go with him.

Obviously, he was not just kind-hearted and wanted to help the younger generation, but he also had a request to make, only after he had formed a fetus.

Chen Yuan had a clear idea in his mind, so he dared to reveal some of his cards.

He believed that the stronger his strength was, the more Mr. Qingliu would value him, and the safer his situation would be.

The most important thing is, if he doesn't activate his true blood, he won't be able to defeat Chang Geng and Ye Wendi, and he won't be able to complete the mission.

The art of teleportation is not unlike the unique Zhuyan True Fire, which can be mastered by great cultivators. Even if it is revealed, it will not attract too much attention.

The most urgent task is to form the Nascent Soul. Only when the Nascent Soul is formed successfully, can the sky be high for fish to leap and the sea be wide for birds to fly.

By then, he will be able to stimulate two kinds of true blood at the same time. The world is so big that he can travel anywhere, and he no longer has to worry about others coveting his magical powers.

As he expected, Qingliu Lay Buddhist did not dwell on the matter. He changed the subject and said, "Elder Yang actually went to Yunding Mansion. He only followed Junior Brother Gu's lead. He was the first to make trouble during the meeting that day. After the fight, did he do anything bad to you?"

Chen Yuan shook his head: "After the fight was over, Elder Yang left first."

"But when he showed up, he claimed that he and I were old friends, and secretly sent a message to me, saying that he wanted to make a deal with me."

"I didn't dare to break off relations with him, so I had to pretend to be nice to him and didn't tell Patriarch Yuan about my relationship with Elder Gu."

Qingliu Lay Buddhist frowned slightly: "After the duel, did Yuan Xiang ask about this matter?"

Chen Yuan shook his head. Qing Liu Jushi pondered for a moment and said, "According to my guess, Elder Yang is waiting for you to fail in the fight so that he can buy the Millennium Thunderbolt from you before our sect can buy it."

"Yuan Xiang should also know that he has other plans, but he didn't want to get involved in the internal affairs of Haoran Sect, so he didn't ask."

Chen Yuan's heart trembled. Yang Liqian was a Nascent Soul cultivator for many years. If he forced to buy the Millennium Thunder God, he would not be able to deal with it at all.

Mr. Qingliu said: "Fortunately, my friend won the duel and completed the mission. The Millennium Thunder Palm will be taken away by the sect, and he can only return empty-handed."

"But even if you fail in the fight, with Wushan by your side, he will at most force you to sell the Millennium Thunder Pill, and he won't do anything radical."

Chen Yuan clasped his fists and bowed: "Thank you, senior, for letting Brother Zhang accompany me. Without Brother Zhang, the Yuan family would certainly look down on me, and even if I win the fight, I'm afraid it would be difficult for me to return safely."

Qingliu stroked his beard and smiled: "This is just a precaution. Even if there is no one from Wushan, as long as you win the fight, Yang Liqian won't dare to do anything to you."

"Wushan, take Chen Xiaoyou to Liude Hall and complete the mission."

"Yes." Zhang Wushan responded respectfully.

Chen Yuan clasped his fists and bowed again, then stood up and flew away from the island in the middle of the lake with Zhang Wushan.

……

After leaving the island in the middle of the lake, Chen Yuan, under the leadership of Zhang Wushan, came to a valley and descended the light of escape.

This valley is extremely vast, surrounded by mountains, with roads on all sides and six large halls built on it.

There was a constant flow of monks coming and going in the valley, with lights rising and falling all the time, and the flow of people was bustling, almost as lively as the Chongde Market.

The two men descended from the light of escape and walked towards a large hall. Zhang Wushan introduced, "Brother Chen, this is the Liude Hall of our sect, which is dedicated to issuing sect missions. It is the place where the most cultivators in the sect gather..."

There are more than ten thousand cultivators in the Haoran Sect, 90% of whom are Qi Refining cultivators, and among the remaining 10%, 90% are Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Every day, low-level cultivators come here to receive and return tasks. It is a hundred times more lively than the Hall of Good Deeds that Chen Yuan visited in the Lingyun Sect in the past.

In order to make it easier for low-level monks to receive tasks, a sect leader moved mountains and opened up such a flat and vast valley, and built six halls, five of which were specifically for issuing tasks to low-level monks.

These six palaces are designed in exactly the same way and are even more magnificent than the main halls in the most luxurious imperial palaces on earth.

Chen Yuan was amazed by Zhang Wushan's introduction and followed him into the quietest Rende Hall.

This is the place where Jindan cultivators receive their missions. There are more than 200 Jindan cultivators in Haoran Sect, but they either have their own duties or are practicing hard behind closed doors. There are only a handful of people in the hall, checking the missions.

Unlike the Hall of Good Deeds, the tasks here are not posted on large vermilion pillars, but are engraved on rolls of bamboo slips and hung in the air.

The monks of Haoran Sect use their spiritual sense to investigate, and if they find a task they like, they will take down the bamboo slips and examine them carefully.

If you want to take on the task, you must leave a spiritual imprint.

If you don't want to take the task, just let go of the bamboo slips and they will fly into the air by themselves, waiting for the next person to take them down.

After Zhang Wushan's introduction, Chen Yuan learned that a suspended formation had been set up in the Liude Hall, which allowed these bamboo slips to float in the air.

These six formations consume 100,000 low-grade spirit stones every day, which is 36 million low-grade spirit stones a year.

But these are only 3,600 top-grade spirit stones. Compared to the dozen or so spirit stone veins that Haoran Sect directly or indirectly controls, these spirit stones are just a drop in the bucket. Moreover, they are the lower-grade spirit stones with the largest output, which are not worth mentioning at all.

Chen Yuan did not need to accept the task. He followed Zhang Wushan to a quiet room in the main hall, found a Jindan deacon on duty, and handed over the task bamboo slips.

Before Chen Yuan left Chongde City and went to Yunding Mansion, Zhang Wushan handed him the task bamboo slips. Now that the task was completed, he needed to hand it in in person.

With Zhang Wushan accompanying him, the Jindan Deacon naturally did not dare to make things difficult for Chen Yuan. He accepted the task bamboo slips and said that he would report it to the elders and notify them separately after verification.

Chen Yuan had no objection to this. His mission was to help the Yuan family win the battle and take back the spirit stone mine. The mission would only be completed after the Haoran Sect took over the mine.

He was not afraid that Elder Gu would continue to make things difficult for him, and he fought one against three people and turned the tide, completing the mission without any flaws.

After handing over the task bamboo slips, the two left Liude Hall, and Zhang Wushan sent Chen Yuan out of the mountain gate.

Chen Yuan came to Chongde City, received the jade token from the Sifang Pavilion, and returned to his residence which he had left for ten days.

The Jidan steward of Sifang Pavilion knew that Chen Yuan and Zhang Wushan were good friends, so he kept this courtyard.

Chen Yuan activated the formation and came to the training room. He sat cross-legged, took out the jade slip that Yuan Xiang had given him, and carefully studied the experiences of the six Nascent Soul cultivators of the Yuan family.

As long as Haoran Sect verifies the mission and lends him the spiritual vein, he will be able to break through to the Nascent Soul stage immediately!

……

Just as Chen Yuan was pondering over the experience of forming a baby, a burly man with a bamboo hat on his head walked into the Fanyang market thousands of miles away.

The centers of all the markets are extremely valuable, and those who open shops here are all wealthy clans and families.

Among the Fanyang markets, the three clans of Fanyang are naturally the most financially powerful.

The shops they opened were all located in the best locations in the market town. They occupied vast tracts of land, looked magnificent, were crowded with customers, and made huge profits every day.

Yuchan Palace is one of them. It is a shop opened by Luoyue Sect, and it sells everything.

But what is most praised is that Yuchan Palace is extremely well-informed and is the first choice for gathering information.

The Luoyue Sect has a special martial arts technique and there are many female practitioners in the sect. They are outstanding in appearance, beautiful and pure, some plump and some thin, each with her own strengths. They are like fairies banished to the mortal world and are quite famous throughout Renzhou.

Everyone knows that the fairies of Luoyue Sect are good at dancing and have a wide range of friends.

The fairy from Luoyue Sect definitely knows the secret information that others don’t know.

The big man in the bamboo hat had obviously heard of the reputation of the fairy from Luoyue Sect. After entering Fanyang Market, he went straight to Yuchan Palace under the guidance of a guide.

The big man in the bamboo hat stopped at the entrance of Yuchan Palace. The middle-aged guide beside him smiled and said respectfully: "Senior, this is Yuchan Palace. You only need to give me three low-grade spirit stones..."

"Get lost!" The man in the bamboo hat glanced at him coldly.

The middle-aged guide felt as if he had fallen into an icy cave. His smile froze on his face, and his eyes showed resentment. However, he did not dare to argue, so he could only smile and say, "Yes, I will get out of here right now, right now..."

He saluted repeatedly, then turned and walked away quickly.

This is the tragedy of low-level cultivators. If they want to earn some spirit stones, they can only be humble.

Some high-level monks treated them like ants and were unwilling to give them even this little bit of spirit stones. They had no ability to fight back and could only consider themselves unlucky, not even daring to show the slightest bit of dissatisfaction.

After the guide left, the man in the bamboo hat looked at the plaque of Yuchan Palace coldly before walking in. "Nascent Soul cultivator? Are you serious?" In a quiet room, a beautiful middle-aged woman stood up suddenly, her face full of surprise.

A pure girl stood in front of her and said respectfully, "That's right. That senior has a very strong aura. I have only seen him in the Sect Master and the Grand Elder. He clearly stated that he wanted to see Master. I dare not delay and came here to report immediately."

"Take my master there." the beautiful middle-aged woman ordered.

This was a garden with hundreds of flowers in full bloom, competing for beauty. She walked out of the pavilion, followed the pure girl, passed through two hanging flower doors and a large door, came to the back door of Yuchan Palace, and walked in.

The beautiful middle-aged woman is an elder of the Luoyue Sect. She has reached the middle stage of the Jindan realm and is in charge of the Yuchan Palace.

Her cultivation level was just right. There were very few cultivators in the late Jindan stage in Luoyue Sect. Most of them were either in seclusion practicing hard or traveling outside in search of spiritual objects for forming infants.

However, the cultivation level in the early stage of Jindan is too low, and it is difficult to deal with when encountering a Jindan cultivator.

The beautiful middle-aged woman was very capable and had been in charge of Yuchan Palace for more than 40 years. She kept it well organized and her business was booming. With her well-informed information, she even surpassed the other two shops.

She had received hundreds of Jindan cultivators, but this was the first time a Yuanying cultivator came to visit her.

Yuchan Palace sells everything, including magic weapons, elixirs, spiritual herbs, talismans, news...but these are all for cultivators below the Nascent Soul stage, and cultivators in the late stage of the Dan stage rarely patronize it.

The Luoyue Sect is just a medium-sized sect, slightly weaker than the other two sects in the Fanyang Mountains.

There are only two Nascent Soul cultivators in the sect, one is the sect master and the other is a supreme elder. All the treasures that can be used by Nascent Soul cultivators are kept here and will never be put up for sale in Yuchan Palace.

Today, a Nascent Soul cultivator actually came to visit. The middle-aged beautiful woman was quite puzzled, but she did not dare to be negligent in the slightest, for fear of upsetting this senior master.

Led by the pure girl, she quickly came to a quiet room on the third floor of Yuchan Palace and walked in.

A burly man wearing a conical hat sat on a throne with a gloomy face, and even the air in the quiet room seemed unusually heavy.

He wore a ring with a mixture of black and white on his hand, as if it was a fusion of yin and yang.

The beautiful middle-aged woman spread out her spiritual sense to test, but it was like a drop in the ocean. The big man in the bamboo hat in front of her looked like an ordinary mortal, with no energy leaking out at all.

The beautiful middle-aged woman was shocked. The reason why she could be in charge of Yuchan Palace was because of her extraordinary spiritual awareness. No matter whether she was investigating cultivation or treasures, she was always successful.

But she was unable to tell the cultivation level of the big man in the bamboo hat. She no longer doubted the words of the pure girl, and stepped forward and bowed: "Wu Yiyi, the shopkeeper of Yuchan Palace, greets you, senior."

The big man in the bamboo hat glanced at her with a cold look: "I'm here to buy some news."

As he spoke, a jade slip appeared out of thin air in his hand. He flicked his finger and the jade slip flew towards the middle-aged beautiful woman at an extremely fast speed with a slight sound of breaking through the air.

The middle-aged beautiful woman's face changed and she quickly raised her hand to catch the jade slip.

But a huge force surged in his hand, and the jade slip almost slipped out of his hand.

She involuntarily took a few steps back and bumped into the door before she stopped.

The beautiful middle-aged woman felt the stabbing pain in her wrist and was horrified.

She saw clearly that the man in the bamboo hat did not mobilize his true energy, and his strength almost made her unable to resist.

As a Jindan cultivator, she had been in charge of Yuchan Palace for decades. She had never suffered such humiliation. She felt ashamed and angry, and her eyebrows were raised. But when she met the cold gaze of the man in the bamboo hat, it was like a basin of cold water poured over her head, and all her anger faded away immediately.

She took a deep breath and probed the jade slip with her spiritual consciousness. There was a portrait of a young monk in a white shirt and handsome appearance. The words "Chen Yuan" were written next to it.

Below the portrait, there was a line of words written: "Middle or late Jindan stage, physical cultivation, powerful, can transform into a silver-white giant about ten feet tall during a fight, and drive a white flame to fight the enemy."

The beautiful middle-aged woman withdrew her consciousness, lowered her head slightly, and thought about the news about this person.

"Have you seen this person?" the man in the bamboo hat asked coldly.

Suddenly, the beautiful middle-aged woman frowned and murmured, "Chen Yuan... I seem to have heard this name somewhere..."

The man in the bamboo hat's eyes lit up: "Where is he now?"

The middle-aged beautiful woman smiled and said, "Don't worry, senior. Please allow me to think about it carefully..."

"Tell me, where is this person!" The big man in the bamboo hat stared at her and said word by word.

A strong murderous aura emanated from him, and the beautiful middle-aged woman felt as if she was being stared at by an extremely ferocious beast and could be torn to pieces at any time.

She forced a smile and said, "Please calm down, Senior. I am not sure if our sect has any news about this person. I need to ask."

"Please come back in three days. My Luoyue Sect is the most well-informed. If there is any news about this person, I will tell you the truth."

The big man in the bamboo hat frowned, his aura slowly dissipated, and he said coldly: "I'll give you one day. I'll come again tomorrow. As long as I have news about this person, spirit stones won't be a problem."

After saying that, he stood up, his burly figure like a small mountain, and strode out of the quiet room.

He really wanted to kill this mysterious middle-aged beautiful woman, but he wanted to find out the news about Chen Yuan even more.

For more than a month, he traveled to more than twenty markets in Renzhou but gained nothing, and even had a fight with two Nascent Soul cultivators.

Today I finally saw a glimmer of hope, and I can endure any anger I am feeling.

Moreover, the words of the middle-aged beautiful woman reminded him that this was Fanyang Market, and the middle-aged beautiful woman was a cultivator from the Luoyue Sect. If he dared to kill anyone, the Luoyue Sect would never let it go.

He was not afraid to fight with cultivators of the same level. The two Nascent Soul cultivators were all beaten and fled in panic, but he did not want to cause trouble and disrupt important matters.

After the big man in the bamboo hat left, the beautiful middle-aged woman felt relieved. Suddenly, she found her back was covered with cold sweat. She cast a spell and everything returned to normal.

The last time she lost her composure was before she reached the Jindan stage, when she met a Jindan cultivator who wanted to take her in as his cauldron.

The beautiful middle-aged woman sat down with lingering fear. There was no telling how many dead souls were under the command of this big man in the bamboo hat. The murderous aura was so strong that it seemed real.

She was really afraid that the man in the bamboo hat would kill her in a rage.

The beautiful middle-aged woman sat quietly for a while, calmed her mind, and finally calmed down.

At this time, the pure girl walked into the quiet room, bowed, and said respectfully: "Master, I have sent that Yuanying senior away."

The beautiful middle-aged woman said, "Go back to the mountain gate now and invite your uncle Qingyue to come."

"Yes." The pure girl responded and left the quiet room.

About an hour later, the pure girl came in, leading a beautiful female cultivator.

The beautiful middle-aged woman stood up and grabbed the female cultivator's arm: "Sister Qingyue, please sit down and talk."

The innocent girl bowed, walked out and closed the door.

Qingyue sat down next to the beautiful middle-aged woman and asked softly, "Sister Wu, do you want to talk to me about something?"

The beautiful middle-aged woman smiled and said, "Sister wants to ask you about someone. Thirty-six years ago at the Fanyang auction, Haoran Sect's true disciple Yan Tongchun had a conflict with a cultivator."

"After the auction, he asked you about this person. That person is in Box 59. His name is Chen Yuan. Is that right or not?"

Qingyue frowned slightly, with a look of reminiscence in her eyes: "Yes, that's what happened."

"At that auction, I also sold the Moon Shadow Mirror in order to raise money for elixirs for cultivation."

"After the auction, Yan Tongchun found me and asked about Chen Yuan."

"But this man is a pervert, and I am very annoyed with him, so I passed him on and told him to ask someone else."

The beautiful middle-aged woman asked, "Who did he find again?"

Qingyue said, "It seems to be Senior Brother Sun. Like Senior Sister, he was ordered by the sect to participate in the preparation of that auction. How come Senior Sister doesn't know?"

The beautiful middle-aged woman held Junior Sister Qingyue's hand and said with a smile: "After the auction, I went back to the sect to retreat. I only heard vaguely, but I don't know the details. My dear sister, you have helped me a lot."

Qingyue smiled faintly: "Senior Sister, you are too polite..."

The two talked for a while, and then the beautiful middle-aged woman personally sent Qingyue out of Yuchan Palace.

She returned to the quiet room, took out a jade slip, entered it with her spiritual consciousness, left a few words, and then instructed the pure woman to deliver the jade slip to Senior Brother Sun at the mountain gate.

As the shopkeeper of Yuchan Palace, the beautiful middle-aged woman dared not leave her post without the sect's permission.

Two hours later, the pure girl returned to Yuchan Palace and returned the jade slip to the middle-aged beautiful woman.

The beautiful middle-aged woman used her spiritual sense to explore inside and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

On the second day, the man in the bamboo hat came to Yuchan Palace again.

He stared at the beautiful middle-aged woman and asked coldly, "Where is Chen Yuan now?"

The beautiful middle-aged woman smiled and said, "Thirty years ago, this person appeared at the baby-birth celebration banquet of Shiping Shanren, the headmaster of Bailu Academy. Senior, you can go find Shiping Shanren and ask him a few questions."

"Where is Bailu Academy?" The man in the bamboo hat had a fierce look in his eyes.

The beautiful middle-aged woman took out a jade slip and presented it with both hands: "This map covers all the clans and families within a radius of ten thousand miles. Senior, you can take it and have a look."

The big man in the bamboo hat stretched out his big hand, grabbed the jade slip, and probed inside with his spiritual sense. Then he stared at the beautiful middle-aged woman and said coldly: "If I find out, you have deceived me..."

The middle-aged beautiful woman bowed and said, "Everything I said is true. You will know the truth once you try it."

The big man in the bamboo hat nodded, raised his hand and a pile of high-quality spirit stones appeared out of thin air on the table, then he stood up and left.

The beautiful middle-aged woman took a quick look with her spiritual sense and smiled. There were more than a hundred spirit stones in this pile, which was completely beyond her expectations.

But she was still not satisfied. After the man in the bamboo hat left, the middle-aged beauty called the pure girl.

She took out a jade slip and a visiting card and instructed, "Take this visiting card from your teacher and set off for the Chongde Mountains now. Deliver this jade slip to Yan Tongchun, the disciple of Haoran Sect. The sooner the better."

"Yes." The pure girl responded respectfully, put away the visiting card and jade pendant, turned around and walked out of the quiet room. (End of this chapter)
