Nine Transformations of the True Spirit.

Jing Shuhan stared at him blankly, and a hint of red suddenly flashed across his pale face. He whispered, "Why are you here? This is Tianji Island!"

Her voice was urgent. Without waiting for Chen Yuan to answer, she suddenly exerted force on her hands, trying to shake his hand off.

But her strength was far inferior to Chen Yuan's, and she was seriously injured and weak at the moment, so how could she break free?

After struggling for a few times, her hands were still firmly held by Chen Yuan, and the other hand holding her waist also tightened a little.

Jing Shuhan was embarrassed and anxious, and lowered his head: "Master and Junior Sister are here, let go quickly..."

Chen Yuan didn't care: "Let me take a look at your injuries."

He spread out his spiritual sense and probed into Jing Shuhan's body.

Her body was filled with a faint blue spiritual energy that circulated around and constantly tore through the barriers of her meridians.

At the same time, the walls of her meridians were covered with a layer of light yellow spiritual energy, which was constantly repairing her meridians.

The two kinds of spiritual energy were like two armies confronting each other, treating Jing Shuhan's meridians as a battlefield and fighting each other.

But the blue spiritual energy is extremely tenacious. The damage caused to the meridians by a wisp of blue spiritual energy requires at least ten wisps of yellow spiritual energy to repair.

Moreover, with the constant pulling, Jing Shuhan's meridians had become riddled with holes, torn everywhere, and extremely fragile.

Chen Yuan's eyes flashed coldly: "Is this all Ao Li's doing?"

He also had two Yunlu Pills in his hand, which were also effective for the injuries of Nascent Soul cultivators. If taken by Jindan cultivators, no matter how serious the injuries were, they could be completely recovered.

After hearing that Jing Shuhan was seriously injured, Chen Yuan wanted to let her take a pill, but he didn't expect that her injuries were so serious that she could not withstand the medicinal effects of Yunlu Dan.

After all, Yunlu Pill is a pill for healing Nascent Soul cultivators. Although the medicinal power is extremely mild, it is still too powerful for Jindan cultivators. Jing Shuhan was seriously injured and was unable to refine it.

Jing Shuhan no longer struggled at this moment, and snuggled in Chen Yuan's arms, but there was still a hint of uneasiness in his eyes as he looked at Master Ningsu.

She whispered, "That's right. Ao Li didn't care about the face of the demon king at all and wanted to force me to be his concubine."

"Master tried to stop him, but Ao Li suddenly attacked me while fighting with Master."

"I tried my best to defend myself, but it was useless. The cold evil entered my body, causing me to be seriously injured..."

Chen Yuan said coldly: "A ninth-level demon king is so despicable. I will definitely kill him and avenge you!"

Jing Shuhan's expression changed slightly, and he spoke hastily, his voice a little hurried: "Ao Li is very powerful, you are no match for him..."

Zhenren Ningsu laughed sarcastically: "Fellow Daoist Chen, you are so arrogant. Ao Li is the leader of the Blue Dragon lineage."

"Looking at the Ten Thousand Monsters Sea, he is only inferior to Kunyang, Ao Mei, Jin Feng, and Kun Hai."

"If it were so easy to be killed, the Ten Thousand Demon Sea would not be under the rule of the demon clan now."

After entering the training room, her face has been very ugly.

How dare Chen Yuan touch his disciple in front of her, his master, and totally ignore her. How disrespectful!
Now hearing Chen Yuan's wild words again, he was even more displeased and couldn't help but ridicule him.

Master Ningsu was extremely dissatisfied with the fact that Chen Yuan and Jing Shuhan had secretly decided to get married.

Although Liu Ye reported to her after returning to the sect that Chen Yuan was a cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul and had unfathomable strength, she was still skeptical.

She had secretly contributed to Ji Laogui's death and put all the blame on Chen Yuan, knowing that he was only in the middle stage of the Jindan realm.

In just over a hundred years, it is already difficult to form a Nascent Soul, so how is it possible to cultivate to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul?
In the eyes of Master Ningsu, Chen Yuan is a boastful person who is ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth.

He had deceived Jing Shuhan with sweet words back then, and now he was deceiving Liu Ye with some unknown means, and he dared to come to Tianji Island in person to take the risk.

Isn't he afraid that his whereabouts will be exposed, causing the Tianji Sect and Zhenhai Sect to join forces to eliminate him and leave him without a burial place?
If it weren't for the fear that Chen Yuan would spread the truth about Ji Laogui's death, Zhenren Ningsu would have driven him out of Tianji Island long ago.

Chen Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly, and the aura of the middle stage of the Nascent Soul slowly dispersed: "Fellow Daoist Ningsu may have forgotten that Kun Hai has already died in Jueling Island. What is there to be afraid of a mere Ao Li?"

Master Ningsu's pupils shrank, and she stared at Chen Yuan closely: "You...are you really in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul?"

Liu Ye heard this and bowed immediately: "How dare I lie to you in front of Master!"

Jing Shuhan raised his head from Chen Yuan's arms and stared at him blankly: "Your cultivation... has broken through again?"

Chen Yuan restrained his aura, lowered his head, and said gently: "I am lucky. I got some opportunities and my cultivation has improved a lot."

"Kun Hai and Yun Tian both died at my hands. Even though Ao Li is strong, he is definitely no match for me."

"You stay in the cave and rest first. I will make you some medicine to heal your wounds, and then we will go and seek revenge on Ao Li."

After saying that, he helped Jing Shuhan and sat down on the jade bed again.

Jing Shuhan nodded slightly, and a smile finally appeared on his pale face.

Chen Yuan gently released his right hand that was holding Jing Shuhan's waist, stood up, and bowed to Master Ning Su: "Please prepare an alchemy room for me."

Zhenren Ningsu's eyes were still a little dazed, fixed firmly on Chen Yuan, without any contempt anymore.

She returned the greeting and said solemnly, "Fellow Daoist, please follow me."

In the world of immortal cultivation, strength is respected. Now that Chen Yuan has demonstrated the cultivation level of the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, all her previous dissatisfaction with Chen Yuan immediately disappeared.

Chen Yuan turned around and gently held Jing Shuhan's hand, and whispered, "I will definitely send the elixir to you in half a month at the least and a month at the most."

Jing Shuhan nodded slightly: "Master has given me healing pills. I can still hold on for two months. You don't have to worry."

Chen Yuan felt relieved and turned around to follow Master Ningsu and Liu Ye out of the training room.

He is a Nascent Soul cultivator and cannot stay in the Tianji Sect for long, otherwise he would have started to refine elixirs in Jingshu Han's cave residence.

After walking out of the cave, Chen Yuan put on the gold-thread hollow mask again to cover his face.

The three of them flew out of the Tianji Mountains along the same route they came. However, this time, the vague sarcasm on Zhenren Ningsu's face disappeared without a trace.

After leaving the mountain gate, Zhenren Ningsu did not send Chen Yuan back to Yingke Peak, but led him to the Tianji Market, outside a secluded courtyard, and dropped his escape light.

There was a formation guarding outside the courtyard. Zhenren Ningsu took out a jade token, injected his true energy into it, opened the formation, and the gate of the courtyard was opened.

She came to her senses and handed the jade token to Chen Yuan with both hands: "This courtyard was bought by me in my early years. No one knows about it. It is the safest place. You can make pills here."

Chen Yuan nodded slightly and walked into the courtyard.

The three of them came to the main hall, and Zhenren Ningsu took out a jade slip and several wooden boxes with soul-sealing talismans from the mustard seed ring, and handed them over with both hands.

"This is the recipe for the elixir and the spiritual herbs needed to make it. Please have a look, fellow Taoist."

Chen Yuan took the jade slip and probed inside with his spiritual sense. After a quarter of an hour, he withdrew his spiritual sense: "Zhi Yuan Dan... If Chen remembers correctly, this kind of elixir needs Zhi Yuan grass as the main ingredient."

"It's just that Zhiyuan grass was more common in ancient times, but now it is rarely seen in the world. I didn't expect that fellow Taoist has this kind of spiritual herb in his hand. It really opened my eyes."

"Could it be that the yellow spiritual energy in Shu Han's body that repaired the injured meridians was transformed from the Zhiyuan Pill?"

Zhenren Ningsu said: "Yes, one of our predecessors once found a few seeds of Zhiyuan grass from Jueling Island and planted them in the spiritual medicine garden."

"I spent a lot of effort to get two Zhiyuan grasses from the sect. Please ask Senior Brother Li to refine one pill first and let Shu Han take it to heal his injuries." "But without the essence and blood of fellow Taoists mixed in, the Zhiyuan Pill can only treat the symptoms and not the root cause. Shu Han's injuries cannot be cured, and his realm will fall as a result."

"Please be careful when refining the elixir. If you fail to do it, I won't be able to produce the third Zhiyuan grass."

Chen Yuan nodded slightly: "Don't worry, fellow Daoist, although Zhiyuan Pill is not easy to refine, it is only as difficult as the Yuanying early stage pill. With Chen's alchemy skills, it is not a problem."

Zhiyuandan is different from the cultivation elixir that Chen Yuan had refined before, and Yaoyuandan is a kind of magical elixir.

One furnace of spiritual herbs can only produce one successful pill, which contains all the medicinal power of one plant of Zhiyuan grass. There is no such thing as a successful pill rate.

Zhiyuan grass is just an 800-year-old spiritual herb. It is this method that makes its healing effect comparable to that of Yuanying stage elixir, but its medicinal power is extremely mild and can be absorbed by Jindan cultivators.
But because of this, the difficulty of refining Zhiyuan Dan is comparable to that of Yuanying stage elixir, and only the grand master of alchemy can be sure of refining it.

Chen Yuan opened the wooden box and carefully checked each spiritual herb.

Especially the eight hundred year old Zhiyuan grass, he scanned it carefully with his spiritual sense, and only stopped after making sure there was no flaw.

The matter was of great importance. No matter how confident he was in his alchemy skills, he had to make all the necessary preparations and must not let this furnace of Zhiyuan Dan go to waste.

Chen Yuan knew several kinds of healing pills that were as effective as Zhiyuan Dan, and he was not short of treasures.

But Jing Shuhan's injuries could no longer be delayed any longer, and this time the elixir must be successful.

He breathed a sigh of relief, put all the spiritual herbs and jade slips into the mustard seed ring, and said to Zhenren Ningsu: "The spiritual herbs are correct. Chen will start refining the elixir. Please go back, fellow Taoist."

Zhenren Ningsu nodded slightly, raised her hand and pointed at Liu Ye: "I will let my disciple Liu Ye stay here. If you have anything to do, just let me know."

Chen Yuan looked at Liu Ye and said, "Thank you for your help, fellow Daoist."

Liu Ye bowed quickly and said, "I dare not. I will stay outside the courtyard and will not disturb you from refining the elixir. If you have any instructions, just call me."

Chen Yuan nodded, and Master Ningsu did not stay any longer. He stood up and walked out of the courtyard, and Liu Ye followed closely behind.

After the two left, Chen Yuan closed the gate, took out the jade token, activated the formation, then went to a quiet room, took out the recipe for Zhiyuan Dan, and studied it carefully.

An hour later, he slowly opened his eyes, put away the jade slip, took out the spiritual jade pendant that Jing Shuhan gave him, and rubbed it gently.

Chen Yuan stared at the jade pendant in his hand. His eyes, which were originally filled with a bit of evil spirit, gradually became peaceful, his mind was focused and his spirit was clear.

After a long time, he put away the jade pendant and took out the alchemy furnace and spiritual herbs.

Chen Yuan raised his hand and the lid of the wooden box opened, and the Zhiyuan grass slowly flew into the alchemy furnace.

Then he pointed his finger, and his true essence turned into flames, wrapping around the alchemy furnace and burning fiercely.

In the alchemy furnace, there was a bright red color. The Zhiyuan grass was slowly melting under the true fire, oozing out drops of spiritual liquid.

Chen Yuan slowly closed his eyes and concentrated on refining the Nascent Soul Early Stage Pill, which was not difficult for him.

Half a month later, the veil covering the courtyard slowly dissipated, the gate slowly opened, and Chen Yuan walked out.

Liu Ye, who had been waiting outside the yard, came over immediately.

While Chen Yuan was refining the elixir, she was waiting in the bamboo forest beside the courtyard, always spreading her spiritual sense and paying attention to the movements in the courtyard.

Chen Yuan is a Nascent Soul cultivator, so naturally he does not need protection, but leaving him alone in the market town would be a lack of hospitality.

But if Chen Yuan had not demonstrated his cultivation level of the middle Nascent Soul stage at Yueying Peak, it is unknown whether Zhenren Ningsu would still be so polite.

Liu Ye stopped in front of Chen Yuan and bowed, with a look of expectation in his eyes: "Welcome Senior to come out of retreat. May I ask if your alchemy went smoothly?"

Chen Yuan nodded slightly and said gently: "Please ask Daoist Liuye to inform your master that I have refined a Zhiyuan Pill."

Liu Ye was overjoyed when he heard this: "Please wait a moment, Senior. I will report to Master right away!"

After saying this, she didn't care about being rude and bowed hastily, then rode on her light and flew towards the Tianji Mountains.

Chen Yuan didn't care at all. He stood with his hands behind his back, waiting outside the courtyard.

This place is extremely secluded, there are no shops nearby, and there are few pedestrians. After a long time, only two monks passed by.

Chen Yuan did not reveal his cultivation level, and was no different from an ordinary person. Many cultivators who passed by did not notice his presence.

Occasionally, there are those who are very vigilant and always pay attention to the surrounding environment, but they will just take a curious look and then leave.

But there were also a few people who, after seeing Chen Yuan, were suddenly stunned, then quickly looked away, and then quietly looked at Chen Yuan's face, with a bit of surprise in their eyes, mixed with a bit of doubt, and finally they often shook their heads slightly and left quickly.

Chen Yuan's mind moved, and he took out a gold-thread hollow mask from his storage bag and put it on his face to cover his face. After that, the monks passing by here no longer cast their eyes in this direction.

About two quarters of an hour later, two beams of light descended from the sky, revealing the figures of Zhenren Ningsu and Liu Ye.

True Man Ning Su got straight to the point: "Fellow Daoist, have you refined the Zhi Yuan Dan?"

Chen Yuan nodded slightly: "Fortunately, I have fulfilled my mission."

Zhenren Ningsu breathed a sigh of relief: "Daoyou, please follow me."

After saying that, she rode on a beam of light and flew towards the Tianji Mountains.

Chen Yuan and Liu Ye followed closely behind, and soon flew out of the market town and entered the Tianji Sect’s protective formation.

Just like before, the disciples of Tianji Sect were all in awe of Master Ningsu and took the initiative to give way and salute him.

But they kept looking at Chen Yuan, obviously very curious about who this masked male cultivator was who could walk side by side with Zhenren Ningsu.

The three of them continued all the way until they arrived at Yueying Peak, where they descended into the light of escape and walked into Jing Shuhan's cave.

Zhenren Ningsu stopped and called out, Jing Shuhan opened the training room, and the three of them walked in.

Jing Shuhan's face looked a little paler than it was half a month ago, but the look in his eyes as he looked at Chen Yuan was smiling and exceptionally gentle.

Master Ningsu sighed and shook his head.

Liu Ye showed some pity on his face: "Junior Sister Jing, how do you feel?"

Jing Shuhan forced a smile, his voice extremely weak: "Don't worry, Senior Sister, I can still hold on..."

Chen Yuan walked quickly forward and held her hand, but it felt like he was holding a piece of ice, so cold that it pierced his bones.

The spiritual consciousness probed into Jing Shuhan's body. The blue spiritual energy in her meridians was less than before, but it still filled her entire body.

The walls of the meridians were covered with layers of white frost, and tiny cold thorns were densely packed, crisscrossing all over Jing Shuhan's meridians.

If she moved a little, she would pull the cold thorns and her meridians would be torn apart, leaving dense wounds and excruciating pain.

The blood and energy that repaired the injured meridians were now extremely thin, and were working in vain to repair the meridians pierced by the cold.

The medicinal power of the first Zhiyuan Pill given by Zhenren Ningsu is about to run out.

Chen Yuan didn't dare to waste any more time. He took out the jade bottle and poured out the Zhiyuan Dan.

He held Jing Shuhan's waist with one hand, hugged her in his arms, and put the pill to her mouth with the other hand: "Take this Zhiyuan Pill, and your injuries will be healed." (End of this chapter)
