Nine Transformations of the True Spirit.

Mr. Qingliu listened quietly to the conversation between the two and was quite surprised.

He had never heard Chen Yuan talk about his master, and thought that he was just an ordinary cultivator. His cultivation and strength were all acquired by chance. He didn't expect that he actually had a Nascent Soul master.

However, as one of the ten great sects' elders with a profound background, he did not care about it.

Moreover, with Chen Yuan's current strength, even if he has no background, he does not need to bow his head in front of the ten major sects.

Chen Yuan smiled and said, "In addition to visiting Daoist Fellow Qingliu, I have another matter that I need Daoist Fellow Yue's help with."

Sect Leader Yue was a little surprised: "Fellow Daoist, please speak."

Chen Yuan said: "Fellow Daoist Yue also knows that Chen is a physical cultivator. His skills are quite special and he needs a demon pill to assist him in his cultivation."

"Now I am already a mid-Nascent Soul cultivator, and the demon pills I need have also changed from the original eighth-level demon pills to the ninth-level demon pills."

"It's just that the ninth-level demon pill is hard to find. I want to exchange a few ninth-level demon pills from you with top-grade spiritual materials."

"I hope you can help me, I will be very grateful."

Sect Leader Yue's eyes flashed, and he said with a smile: "Fellow Daoist Chen is wrong. The value of the top-grade spiritual material and the ninth-level demon pill is almost the same."

"Fellow Daoist is willing to exchange top-grade spiritual materials for the ninth-level demon pill. It is a mutual benefit. How can it be called a help?"

Chen Yuan shook his head: "To be honest, I once exchanged cultivation pills and top-grade spirit stones for a ninth-level demon pill, but after taking out the top-grade spirit materials, I got nothing."

"Although top-grade spiritual materials are good, they are also divided into different grades. They are not particularly rare."

"Although the value of the ninth-level demon pill is slightly lower, it is extremely rare. How many people dare to covet the ninth-level demon king?"

"Only the ten major sects have a deep foundation and should have a lot of ninth-level demon pills. That's why I have the audacity to ask for your permission to be my disciple..."

Sect Leader Yue nodded slightly and said, "There are only three places in Jiuxianzhou where demons gather: Hanzhou, Nanzhou, and Wanyaohai. There are quite a few level eight demon kings, but level nine demon kings are rare. It is even more difficult to kill them."

"Most of the ninth-level demon pills that each sect can produce are left over from the past, and this is also the case with our sect."

"Since you asked, I naturally cannot refuse. So I will take out two ninth-level demon pills. You only need to exchange them for two top-grade spiritual materials. I wonder if you can accept it?"

Chen Yuan was stunned. Exchanging two level nine demon pills for two top-grade spiritual materials, from the perspective of value alone, Sect Leader Yue suffered a great loss.

The ninth-level demon pill can only be obtained from a ninth-level demon king, but not all Nascent Soul cultivators are like Chen Yuan, who can kill a ninth-level demon king as easily as taking something out of his bag.

Moreover, the Haoran Sect has a deep foundation and is definitely not short of ordinary top-grade spiritual materials. The fact that Sect Leader Yue is willing to take out two ninth-level demon pills is a gesture of goodwill to Chen Yuan.
Naturally, he would not miss this opportunity and immediately agreed: "I will follow what Daoist Yue said."

After saying that, he took out two kinds of top-grade spiritual materials obtained from Kunhai, Yuntian Patriarch and others from the mustard seed ring and handed them to Sect Leader Yue.

Sect Leader Yue simply glanced at them indifferently, then put away the two top-grade spiritual materials. He did not mention the matter of the demon pill, and changed the subject to discuss his cultivation experience with Chen Yuan.

Chen Yuan did not ask any more questions and took this opportunity to ask Master Yue for advice on many difficult issues in cultivation.

Although he is a physical cultivator and Sect Leader Yue is a Dharma cultivator, their paths of cultivation are different but lead to the same destination, and they have many similarities.

Although "Nine Transformations of the True Spirit" is the most advanced martial art in the universe, Chen Yuan practiced it on his own without the guidance of a high-level cultivator, so it was inevitable that he had some doubts.

Sect Master Yue is a long-time great monk who inherits the Haoran Sect's tradition and has profound insights. He has solved many of Chen Yuan's confusions.

Of course, Sect Leader Yue was not simply discussing the mysteries of Taoism with Chen Yuan, but wanted to take this opportunity to get a glimpse of Chen Yuan's insights on the way of cultivation.

The more in-depth his conversation with Chen Yuan became, the more frightened he became.

Although Chen Yuan had many confusions, his understanding of cultivation was no less than his.

In some areas, his insights are even more insightful than those of him, the head of the Haoran Sect.

This is definitely not something that an ordinary cultivator can do. The skills that Chen Yuan practices are definitely extraordinary.

His master, Jin Luoheng, should not be an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator, or he had some other opportunity and obtained the top-notch skills left over from the ancient times.

Sect Leader Yue paid more attention to Chen Yuan, and was also quite glad that he did not ask for a high price just now.

This favor should be enough to offset Chen Yuan's favoritism towards Elder Gu after he returned from Hanzhou.

The three of them had a very pleasant conversation, and two days later, Chen Yuan got up to say goodbye.

Sect Leader Yue smiled and said, "I have benefited a lot from talking with Fellow Daoist Chen."

"If you still need a ninth-level demon pill, I have a little friendship with the head of the Jiuli Sect, Zhong. I can give you a letter and introduce you to one or two."

Chen Yuan's heart was moved, and he shook his head slightly: "Fellow Daoist Yue, I appreciate your kindness."

"But two ninth-level demon pills are enough for me to practice for now, so I won't bother you, Brother Yue."

He still imprisoned Tian You's soul and had the token of the elder of the Yuling Sect obtained from a monk of the Jiuli Sect. How could he take the initiative to contact the Jiuli Sect?

When Sect Leader Yue saw that Chen Yuan refused, he stopped talking and stood up to escort him out of the hall.

Just as Chen Yuan left Haoran Peak and arrived at the island in the middle of the lake where Qingliu Jushi lived, a Jindan cultivator came here and handed two wooden boxes to Chen Yuan respectfully.

He opened it and saw two level nine demon pills inside.

Chen Yuan smiled slightly and put away the wooden box. The remaining resentment towards Master Yue in his heart also disappeared.

……

Now that he had obtained the ninth-level demon pill, Chen Yuan did not stay any longer. He left Chongde City the next day and returned to Fengyuan Mountains.

After returning to the cave, he spread his spiritual sense as usual and suddenly discovered that not far from Li Qingshan's cave, someone had recently opened up another cave.

The walls of this cave are rough, and there is only one stone room, which is extremely simple. A young woman is meditating and practicing. She has a beautiful face, but a slightly sad expression between her brows.

A low-level spiritual formation was set up outside the cave, which only had the effect of illusion and concealment, and even a Lian Dan cultivator could break it easily.

Chen Yuan's spiritual sense swept over the female cultivator. She was at the middle stage of the Jindan stage and must have just broken through the bottleneck not long ago.

He frowned and probed into Li Qingshan's cave with his spiritual consciousness. He was meditating and practicing in the training room.

Chen Yuan secretly sent a message to wake Li Qingshan from his meditation, then he raised his sleeve and opened the door to the cave.

After a while, Li Qingshan walked into the cave, passed through the passage, and came to the stone hall.

After seeing Chen Yuan, he was obviously relieved and bowed: "Disciple welcomes the return of Master..."

Chen Yuan nodded and got straight to the point: "Do you know the origin of the female cultivator who has reached the Jindan stage and opened up the cave this time?"

Li Qingshan quickly replied: "I was just about to report to Master that this fellow Taoist came to visit Master. He calls himself Liu Ye and is a cultivator from the Yuqinghai Tianji Sect..."

"Tianji Sect?" Chen Yuan's eyes flashed, "Invite her here quickly."

"Yes." Li Qingshan agreed immediately and turned to walk out of the cave.

A quarter of an hour later, he and the beautiful female cultivator walked into the cave one after the other, their footsteps hurried. "Master, I have invited fellow Daoist Liu Ye to come." Li Qingshan said respectfully.

The worry on the beautiful female cultivator's face faded a little. She looked at Chen Yuan quietly and bowed: "Junior Liu Ye, I pay my respects to Senior Chen... Senior Chen."

Chen Yuan's heart moved, and he asked, "I think I have never met you before, why do you know me?"

Liu Ye glanced at Li Qingshan and said hesitantly: "Junior..."

Chen Yuan said calmly: "Qingshan, go down and practice first."

"Disciple, I'll take my leave." Li Qingshan responded respectfully and turned to leave.

After he walked out of the cave, Liu Ye said, "I am here to pay my respects to you at the behest of my master and at the request of my junior sister."

"Junior Sister Jing is seriously injured and urgently needs a drop of blood from you to refine the elixir. Please give me a drop of blood to save Junior Sister Jing's life!"

Chen Yuan's expression suddenly changed: "Jing Shuhan? She is injured?!"

The pressure from the middle stage of the Nascent Soul suddenly dissipated, accompanied by a thick murderous aura, which spread and filled the entire stone hall.

Liu Ye took several steps back, his delicate body trembling violently, his pretty face pale, and the aura of the middle stage of Jindan emanated from him, but it was still difficult to resist.

Li Qingshan was in a better condition, but he also had to release sword energy to resist. His face was pale and his expression was very ugly.

When Chen Yuan saw this, he reacted immediately, restrained his energy, suppressed his anger, and said in a deep voice: "Chen has lost his composure, I hope you will forgive me, Daoist Liuye. How is Jing Shuhan now? Can you tell me more details?"

Liu Ye took a deep breath and forced a smile: "Junior dare not..."

Her face was still as pale as paper, and her eyes revealed a hint of fear and shock.

Junior Sister Jing said that Senior Chen was a cultivator in the early Nascent Soul stage and that he must not be allowed to return to Yuqing Sea. But now it seems that Senior Chen is clearly a cultivator in the middle Nascent Soul stage and his cultivation is even higher than that of Master.

As Liu Ye's thoughts turned, he explained, "Don't worry, senior. Although Junior Sister Jing is seriously injured, her life is not in danger. It's just that if she doesn't heal in time, her cultivation may fall to the middle stage of Jindan..."

Chen Yuan's expression eased a little: "I still have not asked Daoist Liu Ye how to address her?"

Liu Ye said: "Senior Sister Jing and I are from the same school. When Senior Sister Jing was still a disciple of Uncle Ji, I was her close friend. We have been through life and death together and have a very close personal relationship."

“However, I only learned about the matter between you and Junior Sister Jing not long ago after Junior Sister Jing was injured. But I have heard of your name a hundred years ago.”

"More than 20 years ago on Jueling Island, the senior even showed off his cultivation and had a verbal confrontation with Patriarch Yuntian and the Kunhai Monster King."

"Both of them have died on Jueling Island, but Senior escaped unscathed and became famous throughout the Yuqing Sea..."

Chen Yuan nodded: "Does Daoist Liuye know why she was injured? Who did it?"

Liu Ye gritted his teeth and said, "It's Ao Li from the Jiaolong clan!"

"Junior Sister Jing is about to give birth to a baby, so she went out traveling with Master to look for spiritual objects to form a baby. After entering the Sea of ​​Ten Thousand Monsters, she was stopped by Ao Li, who wanted to take Junior Sister Jing as his concubine."

"Master naturally refused, but Ao Li is a ninth-level demon king, whose strength is even higher than Master's. He is also from the Jiaolong clan and is not afraid of our sect's reputation. When he failed to get it, he took it by force."

"Master fought with him and was defeated. Junior Sister Jing was also affected by the aftermath and was seriously injured."

"After returning to the sect, the master gave Junior Sister Jing a healing elixir. Her injuries no longer worsened, but she was unable to recover. She needed a drop of her essence and blood to refine the elixir in order to recover."

"Ao Li..." Chen Yuan's eyes flashed coldly, "Shu Han was seriously injured, why does he need Chen's blood to heal his wounds?"

Liu Ye's face turned slightly red, he lowered his head slightly, and his voice became softer: "Senior, you should know that Junior Sister Jing has a special physique, and there is a pure and spiritual energy in her body."

"And she said...she said that she had passed on the pure and spiritual energy in her body to the senior."

"The pure and spiritual energy left in her body is already incomplete. If you want to keep your cultivation intact, you need a drop of your blood to balance the yin and yang."

Chen Yuan was stunned: "Is this true?"

Liu Ye nodded slightly: "Junior dare not deceive seniors, this is what Junior Sister said in person..."

Chen Yuan felt relieved and was about to agree, but after changing his mind, he stopped, frowned, and remained silent.

There are three kinds of true spirit blood in his essence and blood, which are far inferior to those of the three great demon beast royal families in the human world. How can he easily give it to others?

If his true intentions were discovered by someone with ulterior motives, the ten major sects would probably join forces to snatch the skills from him.

No matter whether what Liu Ye said was true or false, no matter how serious Jing Shuhan's injuries were, he could not take any risks.

Thinking of this, Chen Yuan changed his mind and said calmly: "Shu Han is injured, how can Chen sit here alone, I will go to Tianji Island myself."

"It just so happens that Chen has quite a bit of experience in alchemy. I will make an elixir for her and mix it with her blood essence. There is no need to bother your sect's alchemist."

Liu Ye was stunned, as if he had not expected Chen Yuan to answer like this.

She hesitated and said, "Junior Sister Jing once told you not to go to Tianji Island. After Master learned about what happened between Junior Sister Jing and you, he seemed a little dissatisfied with you."

"Because of the death of Patriarch Yuntian and the Demon King Kunhai, the Zhenhai Sect and the Kunyu Clan have been searching for the whereabouts of the seniors in Yuqing Sea."

"If the senior shows up on Tianji Island at this time, would it be inappropriate..."

Chen Yuan smiled slightly: "It's okay, Chen is free and sensible."

He didn't dare to go to Chongde City, but Tianji Island was nothing.

Although Chen Yuan is a cautious person, he never acts timidly.

After practicing hard for more than two hundred and sixty years and going through untold hardships to refine the three kinds of true spirit blood, if he was still afraid of a large sect, wouldn't it be a waste of his cultivation strength?

If the Zhenhai Sect and the Kunyu Clan really wanted to take action, that would be exactly what he wanted.

Liu Ye was startled, but when he thought of Chen Yuan's mid-Nascent Soul cultivation that he had just revealed, he was relieved: "Junior Sister Jing probably doesn't know that Senior has made further progress. Since Senior is willing to go to Tianji Island, it's naturally the best."

"But Junior Sister Jing is seriously injured. I wonder when you will leave?"

Chen Yuan said, "Please wait for a moment, fellow Taoist. I will instruct my disciple on a few matters and then we will leave immediately."

"I will be waiting outside your house." Liu Yeying bowed and turned to leave.

After he left, Chen Yuan spread his spiritual sense and saw Li Qingshan standing outside the cave, next to the cliff, looking into the depths of the Fengyuan Mountains with a worried look on his face.

He whispered a few words, and Li Qingshan's expression changed. He came to his senses, nodded to Liu Ye who walked out of the cave, then quickly walked into the cave, passed through the passage, and came in front of Chen Yuan.

He clasped his fists and bowed, then asked, "Master, I am here to ask you to come here. What is your order?"

Chen Yuan said solemnly, "Your master's wife is seriously injured. I have to go to Yuqing Sea to heal her. It may take a few months or even several years before I come back."

Li Qingshan was shocked: "Master's wife was seriously injured? Why is this?" (End of this chapter)
