Nine Transformations of the True Spirit.

After Chen Yuan took away the thousand-year-old spiritual milk and the stone bowl, he left nothing else.

He walked along the stone steps back to the ground, walked into the thatched hut, sat cross-legged, took out a bottle of pills, poured out a pill, and swallowed it into his stomach.

The elixir turned into a huge and pure spiritual energy and entered into his meridians. Chen Yuan practiced his skills and closed his eyes.

Six years passed in the blink of an eye. Chen Yuan had refined more than fifty pills and his cultivation finally reached the peak of the early Nascent Soul stage. He was only one step away from the middle Nascent Soul stage.

Every time he refined a pill, Chen Yuan would stop practicing, take out the jade pendant, and draw the starlight into his body. Under the tempering of the power of the stars in the sky, his body was slowly strengthened.

Since the formation of his Nascent Soul, Chen Yuan has refined more than two hundred Nascent Soul early stage pills, which are enough to allow three or four ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators to cultivate to the peak of the early stage.

According to Chen Yuan's initial estimate, two hundred Nascent Soul early stage pills should be enough for him to break through the bottleneck of the middle stage.

But as the physical body broke through the ninth level bottleneck, the Dantian meridians were also slightly strengthened, and the true essence contained increased a little, so two hundred pills were slightly insufficient.

He could only take out the thousand-year-old spiritual herbs he got from the secret realm. There were thirty-one in total, twelve of which could be used to refine Nascent Soul stage elixirs.

The other nineteen thousand-year-old spiritual herbs can make four furnaces of elixirs, leaving three spiritual herbs.

Chen Yuan started to refine the elixir, which took him four months, and he obtained a total of twenty-four pills.

He went into seclusion again to practice, refining twelve pills, and finally broke through the bottleneck of the middle stage. His cultivation level increased greatly, and his spiritual awareness expanded to an area of ​​three hundred miles, comparable to that of a great cultivator.

At this time, there were less than three years left before the secret realm opened. Chen Yuan did not practice in seclusion anymore. Instead, he took out the four ninth-level demon pills and thousand-year-old spiritual herbs in his hand and began to refine pills for the middle stage of the Nascent Soul.

He originally had six thousand-year-old spiritual herbs that could be used to refine Nascent Soul stage elixirs, and he obtained another twelve from the secret realm, making a total of eighteen herbs, which were used to make four furnaces of elixirs.

This is an extremely astonishing number. Even the nine major sects cannot produce so many thousand-year-old spiritual herbs at once to refine Nascent Soul stage elixirs.

Not to mention that Chen Yuan still has six three thousand year old spiritual herbs in his hand, which can be used to make a furnace of late Nascent Soul elixir, which is enough to make the great monks envious.

The difficulty of refining elixirs for the middle stage of the Nascent Soul is much higher than that for the early stage of the Nascent Soul.

Chen Yuan first started with the Yaoyuan Pill, just like when he had refined the Vajra Pill before. When he refined the first batch of pills, only five pills flew out of the furnace and the success rate dropped to 50%.

Fortunately, as Chen Yuan's cultivation level improved, his true essence became more pure and rich, and his spiritual awareness also greatly improved. It only took him one month to refine a furnace of pills.

After more than three months, all four furnaces of demon Yuan Dan were refined, and a total of twenty Yuanying middle-stage pills were obtained.

The ninth-level demon essence pill is more difficult to refine, but it also allows Chen Yuan to accumulate more experience.

After refining the last batch of pills, Chen Yuan vaguely felt that his alchemy skills had improved significantly and seemed to be about to make another breakthrough.

But he was not in a hurry. Instead, he meditated and adjusted his breathing as usual. When it was late at night, he got up and walked out of the thatched hut, took out the jade beads from the space in his body, and drew the starlight into his body.

The secret realm of space could not stop the silver light beam from falling from the sky. The dazzling silver light enveloped Chen Yuan's whole body. After fifty breaths, it slowly faded away.

Because refining pills consumed a lot of true energy, another 20% was consumed, leaving less than 60%.

Chen Yuan clenched his fists, feeling his strength increase slightly, put away the jade pendant, returned to the thatched hut, and sat cross-legged on the jade bed.

He flipped his hand and took out the Taixuan Order, raised his hand and made a gesture, and the Taixuan Order slowly flew up and hung in front of Chen Yuan, condensing into a light shield that wrapped Chen Yuan inside.

Afterwards, Chen Yuan practiced his skills and absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

The spiritual mist surged in from all directions, and after passing through the light shield, it became more refined, entered the meridians, circulated thirty-six times, and finally entered the dantian.

A day later, Chen Yuan's true energy was fully restored. He slowly opened his eyes, smiled with satisfaction, and put away the Taixuan Order.

If it were in the Lingyun Sect, it would take at least five days to recover 40% of the true essence after each infusion of starlight into the body.

In the secret realm of Dongxu Mountain, Chen Yuan has exclusive access to a large spiritual vein, which can be restored to its original state in just one day.

He took out four thousand-year-old spiritual herbs from the mustard seed ring, put three aside, and picked up only one, throwing it into the alchemy furnace.

Then he raised his hand and made a gesture, and his true energy surged out, transforming into true energy fire that enveloped the alchemy furnace.

Since his alchemy skills were on the verge of a breakthrough, Chen Yuan was particularly focused when making the elixir this time.

A month later, the pill took shape, the furnace lid was lifted, and five golden pills flew out and fell into the jade bottle.

Chen Yuan shook his head in disappointment, closed his eyes and adjusted his breathing. At midnight, he walked out of the thatched hut, took out the jade pendant, and drew the starlight into his body.

He then meditated and practiced to restore his true energy, and began to refine the second batch of pills.

Another month passed, and in the end, only five pills were obtained from this furnace of spiritual herbs.

But Chen Yuan's alchemy skills improved a bit, and the feeling of breakthrough became clearer and clearer.

Still according to his usual practice, he drew the starlight into his body, restored his true essence, and then refined the third batch of pills.

Chen Yuan concentrated all his energy, purifying the spiritual fluid, integrating it into one, condensing the pill into a shape... He was cautious in every step, but when the pills were formed, only five pills flew out.

He took a deep breath, calmed down his slightly impatient mood, first drew the starlight to infuse his body, then recovered his true essence, and quietly adjusted his breathing for three days, completely emptying his mind, before he began to refine the last batch of Nascent Soul Middle Stage Pills. This time, Chen Yuan forgot about the breakthrough in alchemy, and focused all his attention on how to refine this batch of pills. Every step was smooth and there was no hesitation or hesitation.

A month later, the day of condensing the pill and taking shape finally arrived. Chen Yuan raised his hand and lifted the lid of the furnace. Six pills filled with spiritual energy flew out and fell into the jade bottle.

Chen Yuan's success rate in refining Nascent Soul Stage elixirs has increased to 60%!
If he were to turn back now and refine Nascent Soul elixir for the early stage, the success rate would reach 70%.

For tens of thousands of years, Donghua Continent had only two alchemy grandmasters from the Tianxuan Sect who had achieved such attainments in alchemy.

Chen Yuan's alchemy skills have reached the top in Donghua Continent.

Of course, compared with the top alchemy grandmaster in Jiuxianzhou, Chen Yuan still has a big gap.

There were once four great alchemy masters from the ten major sects who had cultivated to the late Nascent Soul stage. Their success rate in refining Nascent Soul early stage pills was as high as 90%.

Outside of the ten major sects, there is a grand master of alchemy who has only reached the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, but his success rate in refining pills for the early stage of the Nascent Soul is as high as 90%.

This person is Old Man Dan Jue. Many people believe that his alchemy skills are the best among all the great alchemy masters throughout history.

After all, Old Man Dan Jue is just a casual cultivator. Unlike the alchemists from the ten major sects, he does not have more spiritual herbs to use for making pills.

He has less experience in alchemy, but his success rate is just as good as ever, so his alchemy skills are naturally stronger.

But only Chen Yuan knew that in addition to using thousand-year-old spiritual herbs to refine pills, he also refined many demon essence pills. His experience in alchemy was not inferior to that of other grand masters.

As for the elixir for the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, there has only been one person throughout history, and his success rate is as high as 90%.

This person's alchemy skills are recognized as the best in Jiuxianzhou, superior to all the great alchemy masters.

He is also the only one among all the alchemists in Jiuxianzhou who has reached the level of a spirit cultivator, and the founder of Taiming Sect, one of the ten major sects - Danxuzi.

The founders of the ten major sects are all extremely talented, but there are only three who have achieved the level of Divine Transformation, and Danxuzi is one of them.

There is also a legend that says that Danxuzi not only has the best alchemy skills in the world, but his cultivation is also unparalleled in the world. He overwhelms the Nine Immortals and is invincible. Even the other two gods have to retreat away from him.

Under his influence, the Taiming Sect has always been ranked among the top ten sects in terms of strength for tens of thousands of years. Even at its weakest, it has never fallen out of the top three. Its foundation is unfathomable, and the other nine sects are unwilling to be its enemy.

……

Chen Yuan refined six mid-stage Nascent Soul pills, and his alchemy skills finally achieved a breakthrough, but his energy was greatly depleted and he was extremely tired.

After guiding the starlight into his body as usual, he did not meditate for the next seven days. Instead, he viewed the mountain and water scenery in the secret realm and adjusted his state of mind.

Seven days later, he returned to the Spiritual Medicine Garden to practice in seclusion.

At this time, he had a total of forty-one Nascent Soul Middle Stage elixirs in his hand. There was no Nascent Soul cultivator in Donghua Continent who could compare with him.

Even in Jiuxianzhou, apart from the leaders of the ten major sects, there should be no Nascent Soul cultivator whose wealth can match his.

This is the fruit of tens of thousands of years of accumulation in the secret realm of Dongxu Mountain, as well as the secret technique of transforming decay into magic, the Yaoyuan Pill. Even Chen Yuan himself cannot replicate it.

He took a deep breath, poured a pill from the jade bottle, put it in his mouth and swallowed it.

As soon as the pill entered the throat, it turned into a stream of pure spiritual energy and flowed into the meridians.

This spiritual energy is much larger and more violent than the elixir Chen Yuan had taken before.

He did not dare to delay and immediately restrained this spiritual energy, circulating it slowly according to the mysterious route of the exercises. In the process, he further removed the dross and retained the essence, gradually assimilating it.

Chen Yuan was immersed in cultivation, and a month passed by without him noticing.

After this huge and pure spiritual energy circulated for thirty-six cycles, it was finally completely transformed into true essence and flowed into the dantian without any hindrance.

After breaking through the realm, the sea of ​​true energy, which had dropped by half, increased significantly.

A pill for the middle stage of Nascent Soul is better than several years of hard training.

But it is still a very long way from filling the entire sea of ​​true essence.

Chen Yuan slowly opened his eyes and frowned.

At this rate of cultivation, another 120 to 30 mid-Nascent Soul stage pills will be needed to reach the bottleneck of the late Nascent Soul stage.

But he has far more true energy than cultivators of the same level, so naturally he needs more elixirs to fill the gap.

Chen Yuan sighed lightly and thought no more. It was now late at night, so he stood up and walked out of the thatched hut, took out the jade pendant, and drew the starlight into his body.

After fifty breaths, the silver light faded away, he put away the jade pendant, returned to the house, and restored his true energy.

One day later, Chen Yuan took out the second Yuanying middle stage pill, swallowed it, closed his eyes, and continued to meditate. (End of this chapter)
