Nine Transformations of the True Spirit.

Sect Leader Shen's eyes flickered, and he asked, "How would you like to divide it, Fellow Daoist Chen?"

Chen Yuan smiled and said, "After the last six sects' meeting, our sect took 40% of the Yuyang Mountain mines and 60% of the top-grade spiritual stones. Tiangang Sword Sect took 30%, Mingyin Valley took 20%, and Ziyang Sect took 10%."

"Now that the 10% of Ziyang Sect belongs to our sect, the top-grade spirit stones will naturally be transferred to us as well."

"The ten percent that Mingyin Valley returned to Guiyuan Sect did not originally include top-grade spirit stones. The remaining ten percent of top-grade spirit stones will be managed by our sect for the time being. What do you think, fellow Taoists?"

Sect Master Shen frowned and said, "As far as I know, during the last meeting of the six sects, our sect received 10% of the share of the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain, but the top-grade spirit stones belonged to your sect. Is that right or not?"

"It's true." Chen Yuan nodded.

Sect Master Shen said, "Shen has already returned to the sect, so why not let our sect manage the ten percent share of top-grade spirit stones?"

"In this way, your sect will occupy 70% of the top-grade spiritual stones in the Yuyang Mountain mine, and our sect will occupy 30%. Everyone will be happy."

Everyone is happy?

Bai Yanji lowered his head slightly, with a hint of dissatisfaction in his eyes.

Chen Yuan shook his head: "Fellow Daoist Shen is wrong. In the previous meeting of the six sects, Du Kun was very aggressive. If it weren't for me stepping forward, I'm afraid that our two sects would only have 10% of their share left, not to mention the top-grade spirit stones."

"Chen took the 10% share for your sect out of consideration for the friendship between our sects. I only took the top-grade spirit stones as a reward, which is not excessive."

Sect Master Shen said, "Daoyou Chen is a man of high moral character, and I will always remember that. However, this is a different time. I have already returned to the sect, and I only have 20% of the 30% share of top-grade spirit stones. It is embarrassing, so I hope Daoyou will help me."

Chen Yuan frowned slightly and looked at Bai Yanji and Wan Shihun: "What do you two Taoist friends think?"

"Everything is up to you, fellow Taoist." Bai Yanji said without hesitation.

"Junior dare not comment." Wan Shihun replied respectfully.

Chen Yuan nodded slightly, lowered his head and thought for a moment, then slowly said: "How about this, the 10% share can be returned to Fellow Daoist Shen, but I also have a condition."

"Please speak, fellow Daoist." Master Shen's expression relaxed.

Chen Yuan said, "Our sect's elder Zhuge is about to give birth to his infant son. Fellow Daoists Bai and Shen, can you lend us the spirit vein of the Myriad Beasts Mountain?"

"It will only take three years at most. Regardless of success or failure, the spirit vein will be returned immediately."

As soon as these words were spoken, the hall fell silent.

Zhuge Qi was the first to react. He bowed and was about to decline, but Chen Yuan glanced at him and he shut his mouth again.

Sect Leader Shen shook his head: "I'm afraid this is a little inappropriate..."

"I agree!" Before Sect Leader Shen could finish his words, he was interrupted by Bai Yanji.

Sect Leader Shen's face darkened and he turned to look at Bai Yanji with a somewhat cold look in his eyes.

Bai Yanji turned a blind eye and bowed to Chen Yuan: "Guiyuan Sect is willing to lend the spiritual vein of Wanshou Mountain to Taoist Zhuge."

Chen Yuan clapped his hands and smiled: "Fellow Daoist Bai is indeed very righteous. Fellow Daoist Shen, what do you think?"

Sect Leader Shen frowned. He was naturally unwilling to lend the spiritual vein to Zhuge Qi. Regardless of whether Zhuge Qi succeeded in forming a baby, the origin of the spiritual vein in the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain would be greatly depleted in the next twenty to thirty years.

But Bai Yanji had already agreed, and Wan Shihun was just a yes-man. If he disagreed, he would become the target of public criticism.

He had seen Chen Yuan's methods in the Demon Realm, and he didn't dare to say whether he could compete with the great cultivator, but a cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul was definitely not his opponent. No matter how unwilling he was in his heart, how could he say it out loud?

But he was unwilling to give up after all, and changed his mind, saying: "The spiritual vein of Ziyang Sect is far superior to that of Wanshou Mountain. Fellow Daoist Chen might as well let Fellow Daoist Zhuge form a baby in Ziyang Mountain Range. This way, the chance of forming a baby can be greatly improved."

Master Shen stared at Chen Yuan closely. He wanted to see how Chen Yuan would explain.

If the Zi Yang Spiritual Vein was kept unused and the essence of the Spiritual Veins of Ten Thousand Beasts was deliberately consumed, he would have to argue with them.

Chen Yuan sighed softly, "My master has not yet been able to form a baby. I have seen it with my own eyes and am anxious in my heart. However, I cannot let my master stay in seclusion in the sect, so as not to be accused of using public power for personal gain."

"The Purple Sun Spiritual Vein is just right for my master to use, and the cultivators in the sect will not have any complaints. I hope Fellow Daoist Shen and Fellow Daoist Bai can understand my difficulties."

Bai Yanji's face was full of admiration, and he clasped his fists and bowed: "Fellow Daoist Chen, you respect your teacher and value the Way. I admire you."

Zhuge Qi also reacted very quickly and said loudly: "The Grand Elder is dedicated to the public, and everyone in the sect respects him."

Jin Luoheng was a little surprised and shook his head, but didn't say anything.

Sect Leader Shen had nothing more to say and took a deep breath: "In this case, I agree to lend the spirit vein of the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain to Fellow Daoist Zhuge."

Chen Yuan clapped his hands and smiled: "Elder Zhuge, why don't you thank the two seniors?"

Zhuge Qi stood up and bowed deeply to Master Shen and Bai Yanji: "Thank you two seniors for your help."

Bai Yanji returned the greeting without any airs of a Nascent Soul cultivator. He smiled and said, "I wish you a successful Nascent Soul formation."

Master Shen just nodded, his expression slightly gloomy, and said nothing.

After Zhuge Qi sat down again, Chen Yuan said, "Since Fellow Daoist Shen has agreed to lend the spiritual vein, the 10% share should be returned to the Tiangang Sword Sect. Let's make the contract now."

As he spoke, he took out four blank jade slips, removed the contract with his spiritual sense, and took out the cloud pattern jade pendant, leaving the seal of the headmaster, and gave it to headmaster Shen, Bai Yanji, and Master Wanhun. The three of them probed into their spiritual sense to check, and the jade slips stated that in addition to the top-grade spiritual stones, Lingyun Sect occupied 50% of the Yuyang Mountain mine, Tiangang Sword Sect occupied 30%, and Mingyin Valley and Guiyuan Sect each occupied 10%.

Of the top-grade spiritual stones produced by the Yuyang Mountain mine, Lingyun Sect holds 70% and Tiangang Sword Sect holds 30%.

The three of them left their sect leader's seals on four jade slips one after another. Each of them kept one and gave one to Chen Yuan, and the agreement was reached.

In the future, at least two sects must raise objections before it can be revised.

Chen Yuan put away the jade slip and said with a smile: "I have something else to ask, and I hope the three Taoist friends can help me."

Master Wan hurriedly said, "Please tell me, senior. As long as I can help, I will never refuse."

Bai Yanji also said righteously: "Bai will definitely do his best."

Sect Leader Shen said calmly, "What else does Fellow Daoist Chen want to borrow?"

In the Demon Realm, he and Chen Yuan had fought side by side against the enemy, but now a rift has developed between them and they are confronting each other.

Chen Yuan said: "You two fellow Taoists also know that Chen's skills are special and he needs a lot of demon pills. I am willing to exchange the best spirit stones for the eighth and ninth level demon pills in the hands of the three fellow Taoists. This is also a mutually beneficial move."

Wan Shihun immediately replied: "There is an eighth-level demon pill in our sect's treasury. I am willing to give it to you, senior, for free!"

Chen Yuan shook his head slightly: "The eighth-level demon pill is so precious, I can't take it for free, it's better to exchange it for spirit stones."

Wan Shihun insisted on his own opinion: "I have not yet formed a fetus, so even if I get a top-grade spirit stone, I can't use it. I am willing to offer the demon pill to you, senior."

"Then I will be disrespectful to refuse." Chen Yuan smiled.
Bai Yanji hesitated for a moment and said, "I have an eighth-level demon pill in my hand, and I am willing to give it to you...

"Fellow Daoist Wan doesn't need top-grade spiritual stones, but fellow Daoist Bai does need top-grade spiritual stones for cultivation. So please name a price."

"How many spirit stones are you willing to give out, fellow Daoist?" Bai Yanji secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Six top-grade spirit stones for an eighth-level demon pill, and fifteen top-grade spirit stones for a ninth-level demon pill."

"The price offered by Daoist friend is very fair. Bai has changed it."

Chen Yuan looked at Master Shen again: "What do you think, Fellow Daoist Shen?"

Sect Leader Shen said calmly: "Our sect does not have any demon pills. I am afraid that I will disappoint you, fellow Taoist."

Chen Yuan's eyes flashed, and he smiled: "It's okay, if you get the demon pill, you can come to Lingyun Mountains to find me."

Master Shen nodded, but his tone was obviously perfunctory.

Chen Yuan didn't care at all and turned to ask about the process of breaking through the gate of Wanshou Mountain. Bai Yanji briefly recounted it, but Sect Leader Shen still said nothing.

Afterwards, everyone discussed how to hunt down the remnants of Zi Yang Sect and Wan Beast Mountain. Sect Leader Shen seemed a little impatient and stood up to say goodbye.

Chen Yuan did not try to keep him and ordered Zhuge Qi to send him out of the mountain gate. Wan Shihun and Bai Yanji stayed overnight at the mountain gate of Lingyun Sect.

The next day, Zhuge Qi discussed the matter of offerings with Bai Yanji and Wan Shihun, and agreed that the two sects would hand over a batch of cultivation resources to Lingyun Sect every five years.

The two then said goodbye and left, saying that they would deliver the two level eight demon pills as soon as possible.

When Zhuge Qi reported this to Chen Yuan, he was quite puzzled and asked, "Grand Elder, why do you want to leave the Dark Yin Valley? It would be better to destroy it directly and take over the spiritual vein."

Chen Yuan shook his head slightly: "Destroying too many sects at once will only lead to suppression from the four major Xuan Sects. Destroying the Ziyang Sect is already very eye-catching. For this reason, I even handed over the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain to the Tiangang Sword Sect and the Guiyuan Sect."

“Although there is no Nascent Soul cultivator in Mingyin Valley, we must take it step by step. Otherwise, the four major Xuan Sects will fully support Tiangang Sword Sect, and our sect will only fall into a disadvantageous position.”

Zhuge Qi suddenly realized that Chen Yuan did not mention the grudge between him and Yan Zhang anymore, and instead asked, "Do you have any spiritual objects for forming infants?"

Zhuge Qi said: "Master left me a drop of Soul Cleansing Liquid, so I have some confidence in overcoming the Heart Demon Tribulation. I also took a few Body Tempering Spirit Pills, so I should be able to withstand the Yin Fire Tribulation. The only thing I can do is to do my best for the Heavenly Thunder Tribulation."

Chen Yuan nodded: "To form a baby is to go against the will of heaven. This is my experience in forming a baby. You can take it and comprehend it. Remember not to spread it to others."

"I will call Elder Chu back right now and let him handle the affairs of the sect for the time being. You will go to the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain to retreat and achieve the Nascent Soul stage."

Zhuge Qi's expression became solemn. He took the jade slip with both hands and bowed deeply: "Thank you for your guidance, Grand Elder."

He solemnly put away the jade slip, bowed and left.

Chen Yuan pondered for a moment, then stood up and walked out of the cave, riding on a light and arriving at Jiangzhen Peak.

Jin Luoheng was meditating in the cave. When he saw Chen Yuan coming, he smiled and asked, "What do you want from me?"

Chen Yuan took out two wooden boxes and a jade bottle and handed them to Jin Luoheng: "This is the spiritual item for forming an infant that I got from the Ziyang Sect's treasury. Please accept it, Master."

Jin Luoheng did not refuse and put it into the mustard seed ring: "You are so thoughtful. When you were forming your infant, I was unable to help you. Instead, I had to rely on you for support..."

Chen Yuan smiled and said, "Master, if you are in trouble, I will do the hard work. If Master had not rescued me, I would have died in Qi Yuanshan's hands."

"Before I left the sect, my cultivation progressed very quickly, and Master had no intention of investigating. I have always been grateful to Master." (End of this chapter)
