Nine Transformations of the True Spirit.

After Chen Yuan and Jing Shuhan parted ways, he rode on a beam of light and arrived at Longyu Island, more than 3,000 miles southeast of Tianji Island.

This medium-sized island is an important place under the jurisdiction of Tianji Island. It has a medium-sized spiritual vein and a small spiritual stone vein.

The formation on the island is open all year round, and dozens of Tianjimen monks are stationed there.

Chen Yuan came to the periphery of the spiritual vein, dropping a beam of light without concealing his figure.

Immediately, a Foundation Establishment cultivator who was patrolling everywhere came forward. When he saw Chen Yuan, his body was shocked and he quickly bowed respectfully: "Junior greets Senior Chen."

Chen Yuan was quite surprised: "You know me?"

The foundation-building cultivator said respectfully, "Uncle Ningbi has already instructed that the senior will come to Longyu Island in the next few days, and asked us to wait for the senior's arrival at any time."

Chen Yuan nodded slightly, understanding what was going on. He followed the foundation-building cultivator, entered the formation, and came to a quiet valley.

Zhenren Ningbi was sitting in a pavilion, watching the flowers in the valley blooming and competing for beauty.

After seeing Chen Yuan, she stood up to greet him and said with a smile: "Fellow Daoist and Shu Han were talking to each other from the bottom of their hearts, but I have been waiting here for a whole day and night."

Chen Yuan smiled slightly and said, "Thank you for waiting for me. I will give you the elixir."

It would take time for him to refine the eighth-level demon pill into a medicine, so Mr. Qingliu, Zhenren Ningbing, and Xiao Chengmo were waiting on the Dragon Fish Island. Yuan Xiang, Mr. Chengli, and Xinzhai Sanren, who had not killed the eighth-level demon king, had already returned to Renzhou.

For a Nascent Soul cultivator, three years is just a blink of an eye, but the elixir for cultivation is something that can only be found by chance.

Even for mid-Nascent Soul cultivators like Mr. Qingliu and Zhenren Ningbing, Nascent Soul early stage elixirs can be of great help.

However, the two of them had the support of a sect, so they mostly gave the pills to the early Nascent Soul cultivators in the sect instead of refining them themselves.

Ningbi Zhenren frowned slightly and said, "Fellow Daoists Qingliu, Ningbing, and Xiao are in retreat on the island. I will lead you there to meet them later."

“It’s just that Fellow Daoist Jin and Fellow Daoist Zhuge left Dragon Fish Island after returning from the Sea of ​​Thousand Monsters. We haven’t heard from them since, and we don’t know where they are now…”

Chen Yuan smiled slightly: "Thank you for your concern, Master and Senior Brother Zhuge have already returned to the sect."

Ningbi Zhenren's beautiful eyes flashed, and she said with a smile: "Daoyou and Shu Han will become Taoist couples soon, but do you want to take her back to the sect to practice?"

Chen Yuan said calmly: “Chen has not discussed this matter with Shu Han yet, so this is probably the case.”

True Man Ningbi said solemnly, "Although I accepted Shu Han as my disciple halfway through, I have always loved her very much. She has never been short of elixirs and spiritual stones. She also occupies a unique position in the sect, with abundant spiritual energy."

"Fellow Daoist has profound cultivation, and fellow Daoist Jin and fellow Daoist Zhuge are also very powerful. I think your sect's mountain gate is also in a blessed place somewhere. You can't let Shu Han's cultivation be wronged."

Chen Yuan said calmly, "Don't worry, fellow Daoist. Although my sect is secluded, it also has some foundation. It is only slightly inferior to your sect. The spiritual energy is still sufficient and will not delay Shu Han's cultivation."

Immortal Ningbi's heart moved, and she said with a smile: "Then I am relieved, fellow Taoist, please move..."

She led the way, and the two left the valley and came to the cave where True Man Ningbing, Xiao Chengmo, and Hermit Qingliu were.

In order to avoid suspicion, Master Ningbi stayed outside the cave, and Chen Yuan went to visit them himself and gave the elixir to Master Ningbing and Xiao Chengmo.

Master Ningbing was still as indifferent as ever. After taking the pill, he didn't even look at it. He just invited Chen Yuan to have another sparring match, but Chen Yuan politely declined.

Xiao Chengmo was very thoughtful. After putting away the pills, he clasped his fists and bowed: "Thanks to you for your help this time, my master and I have not contributed much, but we have benefited a lot. I will remember this favor in my heart."

Chen Yuan said, "Fellow Daoist Xiao, you are too polite. If your master had not stopped an ancestral spirit on Jinling Island, who knows how many more twists and turns would have occurred. This is a mutually beneficial move, so how can it be called a favor?"

Xiao Chengmo shook his head: "With your strength, the ancestral spirit of the Golden-feathered Eagle clan is just a minor disease that can be easily eliminated."

"But I can see that just destroying the Golden-Winged Eagle Clan will not satisfy you."

"If you attack the Jiaolong and Kunyu tribes in the future, Xiao and Master are willing to help you."

Chen Yuan smiled and said, "Don't worry, Daoist Xiao. If I have this intention in the future, I will definitely go to Hanzhou again and ask Daoist Xiao and your master to help me."

Xiao Chengmo's eyes lit up: "It's a deal. I'll be in Hanzhou, waiting for your good news."

Afterwards, he and Master Ningbing left Longyu Island. Chen Yuan came to the cave residence of Master Qingliu, paid him a visit, and handed the elixir to him.

Mr. Qingliu poured out the pill from the bottle, looked at it carefully for a while, and then put it away.

He raised his eyes to look at Chen Yuan, his expression slightly solemn, and slowly said: "Daoyou's alchemy skills are indeed extraordinary. This bottle of elixir is full of spiritual energy, comparable to our sect's unique Bi Xin Dan. It's worth it that I have waited on this Yulong Island for three years."

"It's just that Daoyou used elixirs as a reward to ask Tianji Sect to join hands with Daoyou to deal with the Golden-Winged Eagle Clan. Such a generous move is truly amazing."

Chen Yuan's heart moved, and he smiled and said, "It was also by chance that I got a lot of thousand-year-old spiritual herbs. However, I need demon pills to practice my skills, so I might as well take out some and refine them into pills, which can be regarded as making the best use of them."

Lay Buddhist Qingliu gave him a deep look and said, "Daoyou, please do what you can. For cultivators like us, cultivation is the most important thing. Don't put the cart before the horse."

Chen Yuan nodded slightly: "I understand, I will not lose sight of the main point."

Mr. Qingliu was silent for a while, then stood up and said, "I have been away from the sect for several years, and it is time for me to return to the sect."

"Don't worry, fellow Daoist. I will keep the details of the extermination of the Golden-Winged Eagle Clan secret. Even if Senior Brother Yue asks, I will not reveal a single detail."

“After returning to Renzhou, I will also warn my two junior brothers Xinzhai Chengli and fellow Daoist Yuan to keep their mouths shut.”

Chen Yuan slowly stood up and bowed.

He knew that Mr. Qingliu had already seen through the clues between the elixir and the demon elixir, but he did not say it directly, and even concealed the matter in front of Master Yue. It can be said that their friendship was very heavy.

Although Chen Yuan is no longer afraid of the ten major sects with his current strength, he does not want to get into trouble. He is still quite grateful to Master Qingliu.

After Mr. Qingliu left, Chen Yuan did not stay any longer. He said goodbye to Master Ningbi, and left Longyu Island with a flash of light.

Zhenren Ningbi looked at Chen Yuan's back in the distance, his eyes flashing, and suddenly he turned around, riding on a beam of light, and flew towards Tianji Island.

In just two hours, she crossed three thousand miles, returned to the Tianji Mountains, and landed outside Tianjizi's cave.

The blue-haired lion who was taking a nap saw her falling and quickly got up from the ground and went inside to report.

After a moment, the green-haired lion came out again and invited Master Ningbi to come in.

In the stone hall, Zhenren Ningbi saw Tianjizi sitting behind a rosewood jade table. After bowing, he sat down.

She said, "Master Brother had previously ordered me to find out where Fellow Daoist Chen's master was. Unfortunately, Fellow Daoist Jin and Fellow Daoist Zhuge only stayed on Yulong Island for a few days. I tried several times but got nothing."

"Not long after, the two of them said goodbye and left. It was not easy for me to secretly track the whereabouts of the two Taoist friends, so I had to give up."

"This time, Fellow Daoist Chen came out of retreat, and I tried to test him again, but still to no avail."

"But Fellow Daoist Chen said that his sect has a good foundation and abundant spiritual energy. There should be more than one medium-sized spiritual vein in the sect..."

At this point, she paused and frowned slightly: "Although the Yuqing Sea is vast, over the past tens of thousands of years, all the sea areas have long been visited by cultivators." "Any island with a spiritual vein has long been occupied by people and a sect has been established."

"If it is true as Fellow Daoist Chen said, that his sect has a profound foundation and abundant spiritual energy, it is impossible for him to hide from the world. Is he exaggerating to confuse me?"

Tianjizi shook his head slightly: "Fellow Daoist Chen's strength is amazing, and his progress is so fast that it is unprecedented in history. The master behind him must be extraordinary, and his profound foundation should not be false."

“Although Fellow Daoist Jin and Fellow Daoist Zhuge are only at the early stage of Nascent Soul, they have a solid foundation and each holds a high-level magic weapon.”

"Fellow Daoist Jin's Tai Chi magical power is even more mysterious, and seems to have some of the charm of ancient magical powers. It should not be underestimated."

True Man Ningbi said puzzledly, "But if there is such a sect in Yuqing Sea, it would definitely not be hidden from the eyes and ears of our sect and Zhenhai Sect. Could it be that Fellow Daoist Chen's master is in Jiuxianzhou?"

Tianjizi lowered his head and thought for a moment, then slowly spoke: "If I am not mistaken, Fellow Daoist Chen's master should be in a secret space."

Master Ningbi was stunned. "Space secret realm? Don't be ridiculous, Master Brother. Except for the Absolute Spirit Island, the space secret realms are all small and dilapidated, and it is impossible to plant spiritual veins."

"I'm afraid it can't even accommodate a small sect, so how can it accommodate three Nascent Soul cultivators?"

Tianjizi said in a deep voice: "If it is an ordinary secret space, it naturally cannot accommodate a sect."

“But in the ancient times, before the great changes in the world, the secret spaces created by the ancient cultivators were vast and boundless, with rich spiritual energy. They could even accommodate large spiritual veins and support a large sect with ease.”

"The three trial sites on Jueling Island are these secret spaces, fixed on Jueling Island by the ancient mighty ones with their great magical powers."

"There are more cultivators in Jiuxianzhou than in Yuqinghai, and the spiritual veins have already been divided up."

"Fellow Daoist Chen's sect is rich in spiritual energy, but it is able to hide from the world and remain nameless. It can only exist in a secret space left over from ancient times."

True Man Ningbi was shocked: "According to what the head brother said, this kind of space secret realm must be extremely rare. How could Fellow Daoist Chen's sect occupy it?"

Tianjizi shook his head: "How can I know? This kind of space secret realm is extremely rare even in the ancient times of immortal cultivation. Only the sects standing at the top of this world can refine it."

"Fellow Daoist Chen's progress in cultivation is so fast, it is different from that of ordinary people. Since he is not a true disciple of the ten major sects, it can only be explained by the ancient inheritance."

"No matter what, Fellow Daoist Chen's background must be extremely extraordinary."

"Since he is so secretive about the whereabouts of his master, Junior Sister, don't try to probe him. Otherwise, you will anger Fellow Daoist Chen and lose more than you gain."

Master Ningbi responded: "I understand."

……

After Chen Yuan left Longyu Island, he flew towards the south of Yuqing Sea, spreading his spiritual awareness along the way and being extremely alert.

Ever since he entered the world of cultivating immortals, he has never relaxed. Even though he is now incredibly powerful and has already stood at the top of the human world, he will not be careless at all.

Moreover, the place he was going to this time was related to an ancient teleportation array, so there could not be any mistakes.

It was not until he arrived at the quiet seashore that Chen Yuan felt relieved. He did not encounter any Nascent Soul cultivators along the way, nor did he encounter any Tianji Sect cultivators following him.

He slowed down his speed and came to an island only a few hundred miles away from the Silent Sea, and his escape light landed.

The island is dozens of miles in radius. There is no spiritual vein on the island, but the terrain is flat, the seas are calm, and many mortals live there.

Chen Yuan swept his spiritual sense and saw an invisible curtain covering a low hill in the center of the island, isolating his spiritual sense.

Chen Yuan smiled slightly, came to the top of the hill, descended from the hiding light, took out a sound transmission talisman, put it to his mouth, and said a few words silently.

Then he raised his hand and threw it, and the sound transmission note turned into a silver stream of light and flew into the formation.

After a while, the formation quietly dissipated, and Jin Luoheng and Zhuge Qi stood on the top of the mountain, looking at Chen Yuan with smiles on their faces.

Chen Yuan fell from the light of escape and bowed to Jin Luoheng: "Disciple greets Master."

Jin Luoheng smiled slightly: "No need to be polite."

Chen Yuan bowed slightly to Zhuge Qi again, and Zhuge Qi quickly returned the greeting.

In front of outsiders, Chen Yuan called Zhuge Qi "senior brother" and was very respectful.

But according to the rules of the world of immortal cultivation, age does not matter, what matters most is cultivation, and those who have achieved the most will be given priority.

Since Chen Yuan was the first to give birth, Zhuge Qi had to call him "senior brother".

After the greetings, the three of them came to a slightly simple cave and sat down.

Chen Yuan asked, "Master and Junior Brother Zhuge have been waiting on this Egret Island. Why don't they travel to Jiuxianzhou?"

Jin Luoheng smiled and said, "There is no rush to travel right now. Senior Brother Zhuge and I are not very skilled in cultivation, and we are carrying a large number of treasures obtained from the Golden Feathered Eagle Clan, so we should not take risks."

Zhuge Qi nodded and said, "Yes, after discussing with Senior Brother Jin, we decided to play it safe."

"After leaving Dragon Fish Island, I came here and lived in seclusion, waiting for Senior Brother Chen to come."

Chen Yuan nodded. When the two came to Yuqing Sea, they lived in seclusion on this Egret Island and were most familiar with the surrounding area.

There are no spiritual veins on the island. It is close to the Silent Sea and few monks pass by, so it is the safest place.

He raised his sleeves and five jade bottles appeared on the table out of thin air: "Master and Junior Brother Zhuge, please accept these five bottles of elixirs."

Both of them were stunned. Jin Luoheng frowned and said, "Master and Senior Brother Zhuge only gave you one demon pill, but these five bottles of pills are a bit too much."

Zhuge Qi also shook his head: "Senior Brother Chen still needs to practice, Junior Brother Jin and I will each take a bottle of elixir."

After returning from the Sea of ​​Ten Thousand Demons, the two already knew that Chen Yuan was able to refine pills using demon pills.

In the past, Chen Yuan had concealed some things, but now that he has refined the true blood of the Kuiniu, his physical body has broken through the bottleneck of level ten, his strength has greatly increased, and he is full of confidence, so he no longer hides it.

Chen Yuan said: "Master, you don't know that the elixir made from the eighth-level demon pill is only effective for cultivators in the early stage of the Nascent Soul."

"No matter how much I take, I can't improve my cultivation at all. It's useless to keep it in my hands. It's better to give it to Master and Junior Brother Zhuge to improve their cultivation."

"Master and Junior Brother Zhuge will each take one bottle. The remaining bottle will be given to Junior Brother Bai. He has guarded the sect alone and has made great contributions."

The two of them suddenly realized it, and Jin Luoheng smiled and said, "If that's the case, then I will be honored to receive your invitation."

He no longer refused and put away three bottles of pills, while Zhuge Qi put away two bottles.

The next day, the two left Egret Island, went deep into the Silent Sea, and took the ancient teleportation array back to Donghua Continent.

Chen Yuan turned around and headed for Jiuxianzhou. (End of this chapter)
