Nine Transformations of the True Spirit.

Qin Lian was surprised and said, "Jiuli Sect has its own weapon refining grandmaster, why would he come to our pavilion to refine magic weapons?"

The Jiuli Sect is one of the ten major sects, the overlord of Lizhou, with a complete heritage.

The cultivators from these ten major sects rarely purchase magic weapons from the branches of Wanling Pavilion, and they almost never ask the Wanling Pavilion's refining grandmaster to refine magic weapons.

Gui Yuan Shu spread his hands and said, "I don't know the whole story, but Elder Tian and I have a history. Since he has come to me, I naturally cannot turn him away. I can only ask Junior Brother Qin for help."

Qin Lian said: "If it were normal times, Qin would naturally be willing to refine a magic weapon for Elder Tian, ​​but since I have already promised another fellow Taoist, it is inconvenient to break my promise."

"Please ask Senior Brother Gui to tell Elder Tian that once this matter is settled, Qin will refine a magic weapon for Elder Tian."

Guiyuanshu frowned and asked, "Excuse me, Junior Brother Qin, what is the name of the fellow Taoist who came from Renzhou? Is he a cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul?"

"When I was in charge of Renzhou Baibao Pavilion, I met Mr. Songshan and Old Monster Feng once."

These two people are both well-known Nascent Soul Middle Stage cultivators in Renzhou. Seeing that it was useless even if he brought up the title of Jiuli Sect elder, he couldn't help but suspect that perhaps these two people came to Qin Lian to refine magic weapons.

Qin Lian shook his head: "This fellow Taoist is called Chen Yuan, and he just formed a fetus a few years ago."

Gui Yuan Shu was immediately displeased when he heard this, and said, "Jiuli Sect and our Pavilion have always had business dealings. How could Junior Brother Qin offend Elder Tian for a casual cultivator who has just formed his infant?"

"Moreover, Elder Tian is willing to give out four top-grade spirit stones and ask Junior Brother Qin to help refine the weapon. How many spirit stones can Fellow Daoist Chen give out?"

Qin Lian was interrupted from his meditation by the Guiyuan Tree and was already in a bad mood.

Now, after hearing these words and looking at Guiyuanshu's sharp-nosed and monkey-faced face, he felt even worse and his expression immediately turned cold: "Fellow Daoist Chen only took out two top-grade spirit stones."

Guiyuanshu smiled and said, "The wealth of casual cultivators is meager, and this fellow Daoist Chen has just formed his infant, so it is understandable that he cannot afford more spirit stones."

"Before I came here, Junior Brother Qin accepted this for the opportunity to refine a high-level magic weapon, and there is nothing wrong with that."

"But Elder Tian is now willing to give out more spirit stones. Why should Junior Brother Qin keep his promise to this person?"

"He is just a casual cultivator without any sect or school. Junior Brother Qin, just find a reason to send him away. I don't think he would dare to cause trouble for our pavilion."

Qin Lian said calmly: "Senior Brother Gui made a mistake this time. Although Fellow Daoist Chen is a casual cultivator, he took out a high-level magic weapon, a top-grade spiritual material, and several high-grade spiritual materials."

"He not only asked me to refine a magic weapon, but also to refine a high-level magic weapon. That's why I only asked for two top-grade spirit stones."

"Moreover, he came with Senior Brother Pan's token. Senior Brother Gui also knows that Senior Brother Pan helped me a lot in the past. How can I go back on my word?"

Guiyuanshu was stunned and said, "This person wants to ask Junior Brother Qin to refine two high-level magic weapons? He just formed an infant and is a casual cultivator. How can he be so wealthy?"

Qin Lian said, "To be honest with you, Senior Brother Gui, I had a sparring match with Fellow Daoist Chen, but I only lasted a few breaths before I was defeated."

"Fellow Daoist Chen is very powerful and has an ominous aura. He has the souls of many Nascent Soul cultivators in his hands. He is definitely not someone you can easily deal with. Since Qin has promised to refine a magic weapon for him, I cannot break my promise so easily."

Guiyuanshu rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Since Junior Brother Qin said so, I am quite curious about this Daoist Fellow Chen. I wonder what method he used to defeat Junior Brother just after forming his infant?"

Qin Lian frowned and said, "I am not in a position to reveal Fellow Daoist Chen's methods, but everything you said just now is true. Senior Brother Gui, please go back."

Chen Yuan trusted him, so he told him the truth about his methods. Naturally, he could not reveal Chen Yuan's trump card to others.

More importantly, Qin Lian didn't want to offend Chen Yuan.

Chen Yuan has just formed his infant form, but his strength is so strong. With so many spiritual materials and treasures, his cultivation may be able to reach a higher level in the future.

If he wants to upgrade his robes and Chongxuan Peak to top-level magic weapons, he will need the help of a weapon refiner. Qin Lian has already started to prepare for this and will never become enemies with Chen Yuan.

But when Guiyuanshu heard this, he thought that Qin Lian was just bluffing and that Chen Yuan's strength was actually mediocre.

It was only because of his friendship with Shopkeeper Pan that he insisted on refining the magic weapon for Chen Yuan.

Guiyuan Tree chuckled and said, "Since Junior Brother Qin has made up his mind, I will not force you to do anything. I will take my leave now."

After saying that, he clasped his fists, bowed, stood up and left.

"Brother Gui, take care." Qin Lian did not move, but raised his hand and waved, and the two black stone doors slowly opened.

He watched the Guiyuan Tree walk out of the cave before he stood up and returned to the training room to continue nurturing his natal red cauldron and thinking about how to refine the two magic weapons.

But three days later, Qin Lian, who was in meditation, was awakened by the old voice of Guiyuan Tree: "Junior Brother Qin, are you in the mansion? Guiyuan Tree is here to visit you."

Qin Lian frowned, stood up and walked to the main hall, sat down, and pointed, and the stone door slowly opened.

Gui Yuan Shu walked in. Qin Lian looked cold and said, "What's the matter, Senior Brother Gui?"

Not only did he not come out to greet him, he didn't even stand up to greet him, which was extremely rude. His dissatisfaction with the Guiyuan Tree was obvious.

But Guiyuan Tree seemed not to care about this and sat down opposite Qin Lian.

He sighed and said, "Yesterday, I felt that what Junior Brother Qin said made sense, so I went back to persuade Elder Tian that it would not be too late to ask Junior Brother to refine the treasure after a few years."

"But who knows what method Elder Tian used to persuade the Pavilion Master these days and let Junior Brother Qin refine a magic weapon for him first." "There is no choice but for me to be the bad guy. This is the Pavilion Master's order. Please review it, Junior Brother Qin."

As he spoke, he took out a jade slip from the mustard seed ring and handed it to Qin Lian.

Qin Lian showed a look of surprise. He raised his hand to take the jade slip and probed his spiritual sense into it.

After a while, he withdrew his spiritual sense and his face looked very ugly.

He didn't expect that Guiyuan Shu would actually go to the Pavilion Master and ask him to refine a magic weapon for Elder Tian of the Jiuli Sect.

The jade slip did contain the spiritual command from the master of Wanling Pavilion, but it only advised him to refine a magic weapon for Elder Tian first, and the tone was rather tactful.

He understood the Pavilion Master's thoughts. Wanling Pavilion generally had no dealings with the ten major sects, but the Jiuli Sect was special. It was located in Lizhou, bordering Nanzhou, and had close private dealings with the demon clan of Nanzhou. It had many spiritual materials and demon beast materials that were unique to Nanzhou.

There are only three places in Jiuxianzhou where monsters live, namely Nanzhou, Hanzhou and Wan Yaohai.

Among them, Hanzhou is barren, with the least number of high-level monsters, and the output of monster materials is not much.

All the monster materials in the Ten Thousand Demons Sea are in the hands of the monks of Yuqing Sea.

There are many high-level monsters in Nanzhou, and the fighting among the monsters is fierce. Many cultivators enter Nanzhou through Lizhou to hunt monsters or look for spiritual materials unique to Nanzhou.

Therefore, Nanzhou produces a steady supply of monster materials and some special spiritual materials every year, most of which are under the control of the Jiuli Sect.

In order to refine magical weapons and spiritual tools, Wanling Pavilion not only needs spiritual materials, but also materials from monsters. It has always had business dealings with the Jiuli Sect.

The three thousand year old fire silk that Qin Lian had mentioned to Chen Yuan before was what was obtained through a transaction between Wanling Pavilion and Jiuli Sect.

Since Elder Tian had asked the Pavilion Master for help, it was not difficult for the Pavilion Master to make a choice since on one side he was an elder of the Jiuli Sect and on the other side he was a casual cultivator who had just formed a fetus.

This must have been the idea of ​​Guiyuan Tree. The master of Wanling Pavilion is a great monk. If it weren't for Guiyuan Tree's mediation, Elder Tian would have no way of meeting him.

But even if the Pavilion Master issued an order, Qin Lian did not want to submit.

It was not only for the possible opportunity to refine a top-level magic weapon, but also when Qin Lian thought of Chen Yuan's elusive figure when he was sparring with him, and the sharp black light on his arm that looked like a crack in space, he felt a chill down his spine.

But he could not ignore the Pavilion Master's order. After all, he had just formed his infant son and had only refined three high-level magic weapons. His status in the Wanling Pavilion was far inferior to that of the other two weapon-refining grand masters.

Qin Lian placed the jade slip on the table, lowered his head and thought for a moment, then said, "The Pavilion Master clearly stated in his decree that Elder Tian has taken out more top-grade spirit stones, so let me consider it carefully."

"But I don't want to break my promise. How about this? Let Elder Tian and Fellow Daoist Chen bid with top-grade spirit stones. I will refine a magic weapon for the one who bids the highest. How do you think?"

Guiyuanshu frowned: "This..."

Qin Lian said: "This is not without precedent in our pavilion. Fellow Daoist Chen is just a casual cultivator, and Elder Tian is an elder of the Jiuli Sect. He should not be afraid of competing with Fellow Daoist Chen, right?"

Guiyuanshu's brows relaxed. "Well, let's follow Junior Brother Qin's advice. I will go back and tell Elder Tian about this matter. Please also ask Junior Brother Qin to notify fellow Daoist Chen."

"At noon, I will go to Wanling Pavilion with Elder Tian to compete with that Daoist Chen. The one who offers the highest price will be given priority to refine a magic weapon for Junior Brother Qin."

After saying that, he stood up, bowed, and turned to leave.

Qin Lian stood still and watched the Guiyuan Tree leave. Then he stood up and walked out of the cave. With a flicker of light, he flew to the Wanling Peak and landed in front of Chen Yuan's cave.

"Is Daoist Chen in your residence? Qin is here to visit you."

After a while, the stone door of the cave opened and Chen Yuan walked out with a look of surprise on his face.

He raised his hand and said, "Fellow Daoist Qin, please come in."

The two walked into the main hall of the cave and sat down as host and guest.

Chen Yuan took out the teapot and teacup from the mustard seed ring and used a water gathering technique to condense a pot of clear water.

Then inject the true essence, the water will boil instantly, the teapot will be slightly tilted, filled with spiritual tea, and the fragrance will overflow.

The teacup slowly flew towards Qin Lian. Chen Yuan asked, "It's not even a month yet. Could it be that Fellow Daoist Qin's life treasure has been fully restored?"

Qin Lian took the teacup, drank it all in one gulp, shook his head, and smiled bitterly: "Qin came here today not to ask Fellow Daoist Chen to refine a magic weapon, but because something unexpected happened..."

He explained the matter in detail, with an apologetic look on his face, and bowed: "Qin has already promised you, but I broke my promise. I feel extremely guilty."

"It's just that the Pavilion Master has issued an order, and Qin has no other choice."

"If you don't want to compete with Elder Tian from the Jiuli Sect, you can wait for a few years. Then Qin will refine a magic weapon for you without charging a penny."

Chen Yuan was furious when he heard this, but he remained calm and said calmly, "Fellow Daoist Qin, don't blame yourself. If it weren't for your argument, I wouldn't even have the chance to bid."

"I still have a few top-grade spirit stones. If that's not enough, I still have two top-grade spirit materials. Elder Tian wants to ask Fellow Daoist Qin to refine a magic weapon, but I'm afraid he'll have to wait a few years." (End of this chapter)
