Nine Transformations of the True Spirit.

Chen Yuan responded solemnly: "Junior will save it."

He collected the thirteen demon pills on the table, stood up, clasped his fists and bowed, then turned and left.

Wang Xuange also stood up, bowed, and left the bamboo building with Chen Yuan.

After the two left the bamboo forest, they flew up into the sky in a flash of light.

After flying out of Suyue Lake, Wang Xuange slowed down his speed and said with a smile: "Congratulations to Brother Chen for being given the tenth-level demon pill. After refining the pill, your cultivation will be greatly improved."

Chen Yuan smiled bitterly: "Fellow Daoist Wang should have known that I am also helpless. I would rather not have these level 10 demon pills and practice on my own."

Wang Xuan Ge sighed softly: "To be honest, I was originally very curious about why my great-grandmaster valued you so much."

"I even gave away all the spiritual herbs and demon pills that our sect treasures to you, so I can't help but feel a little resentful."

"But after the battle in the Sea of ​​Thousand Monsters, and after receiving guidance from my great-grandmaster, I finally realized what a natural genius you are."

"I was able to cultivate to the late Nascent Soul stage with my pseudo-spiritual root aptitude without any complaints."

“Now that you have the support of your great-grandmaster and the three seniors, you have a chance to achieve spiritual enlightenment and even ascend to the spirit world.”

"This is an opportunity that many people dream of. Even if it requires some risks, it is worth it."

Chen Yuan's eyes flashed with surprise: "Fellow Daoist, you even know about this?"

Wang Xuan Ge said, "Master Uncle saw that I was resentful. He may be worried that I didn't understand the inner situation and was perfunctory in my work, so he told me the whole story."

"In another month, Wang will visit the three large sects in Tanzhou and ask them to hand over their five elements essence."

"After our elders have rested, they will also begin to gather the five elements' essence."

Chen Yuan's heart trembled, and he looked apologetic: "I am trying to reach the God Transformation stage, but I have to ask the elders of your sect to help me. I am really ashamed."

Wang Xuan Ge said solemnly: "Whether Daoyou can successfully achieve divine transformation is closely related to Master's plan of ascension."

"Master's great uncle has protected our sect for more than a thousand years. All of our disciples are deeply grateful to our great uncle."

"As long as we can help our great-grandmaster ascend to the spiritual world, no one will complain even if we exhaust our sect's resources."

Chen Yuan shook his head: "But if I take away so many spiritual herbs and demon pills, I will need a lot of five elements essence, which will deprive the elders of your sect of the opportunity to break through to the God Transformation..."

Wang Xuan Ge said: "I have heard of this 'Five Elements Spirit Body' method before, but the conditions are too harsh. Apart from fellow Taoist, no one else can meet the requirements."

"Among the eighteen Yuanying elders of our sect, Wang knows that none of them has the possibility of achieving the Divine Transformation."

"As long as I can repay the kindness of my great-grandmaster and the sect continues to prosper, I will be satisfied."

"Only the head brother has some confidence, but he doesn't need to use the five elements of energy, so fellow Taoist does not need to blame himself."

Chen Yuan's expression eased a little, and he clasped his fists and bowed: "Fellow Daoist Wang, you are so righteous, I admire you."

Wang Xuan Ge smiled and said, "Wang is just being generous to others. Although our sect will consume a lot of its resources, other sects will have to contribute even more Five Elements Essence. None of the ten major sects will be able to escape."

Chen Yuan raised his eyebrows: "Don't these sects have any complaints?"

Wang Xuange sneered, "Master Grandmaster has joined forces with Senior Ren, Senior Cangsong, and Senior Lu. Even Sun Yuan has been killed. The demon tribe of Nanzhou is almost destroyed. The whole world is in shock. How dare they not obey?"

Chen Yuan's eyes showed some curiosity: "I don't know what the battle in Nanzhou was like. Can you tell me a little bit about it?"

Wang Xuange smiled and said, "That's not difficult."

Chen Yuan raised his hand and said, "Daoyou, please."

At this time, the two men had already arrived near Langao Island and immediately lowered their escape light.

Chen Yuan led Wang Xuan Ge into the cave, and specially took out a jar of unknown spiritual wine obtained from the secret realm of Yuling Sect, and filled the jade cup with his own hands.

Wang Xuan Ge picked up the jade cup, sniffed it, and couldn't help but show surprise: "This spiritual wine is full of spiritual energy. Could it be brewed from three thousand year old spiritual herbs?"

Chen Yuan smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist, you have good eyesight."

Wang Xuan Ge raised his head slightly, drank the wine in the bottle, and praised: "Good! It is sweet and mellow, with a long aftertaste. It must have been stored for at least thousands of years."

"The last time Wang drank such good wine was one hundred and thirty years ago when I went to visit Master Dugu of the Zhongyue Sect."

"But the Nine Mountains Pure Sound he brought out is far less mellow than this jar of spiritual wine."

He raised his hand and grabbed the jar of wine, filled it up again, and drank it all in one gulp.

After putting down the jade cup, Wang Xuange let out a long sigh, his face slightly flushed, and said with a smile: "Daoyou just asked about the battle in Nanzhou. In fact, this battle was very trivial and boring, far inferior to the battle in the Sea of ​​Thousand Monsters."

A hint of curiosity flashed across Chen Yuan's eyes: "Why is this?"

Wang Xuan Ge said: "In the battle of the Ten Thousand Monsters Sea, although we waited outside Beiming Island for more than ten days, we were able to lure the two royal families out of the formation and succeeded in one battle."

"Fellow Daoist has displayed his divine power to the fullest, and his demeanor is truly impressive."

"It just took a few days to break through the Cloud Dragon Formation."

“But from entering the Sea of ​​Ten Thousand Monsters to destroying the two royal families, it only took less than twenty days.”

At this point, he grabbed the wine jar, filled it with spirit wine, drank it all, and then continued: "But the South Province is vast, and there is no royal family to lead it."

"Sun Yuan has been staying in the Saint Burial Abyss for many years, and the transformed demon kings are all attached to the tenth-level demon kings, which is very loose..."

"Burial of Shengyuan?" Chen Yuan looked puzzled.

Wang Xuan Ge explained: "The Burial Saint Abyss is where Sun Yuan's cave is located. According to legend, in ancient times, a great demon fell in the Burial Saint Abyss."

"After tens of thousands of years, the Saint Burial Abyss is still filled with deathly aura, with no grass growing. It is now occupied by Sun Yuan, and there are no living creatures around."

"In this battle of Nanzhou, Master Uncle and the three seniors went deep into Nanzhou first and trapped Sun Yuan in the Sacred Burial Abyss."

"The monks of each sect will enter Nanzhou again to wipe out the transformed demon king."

Chen Yuan asked, "Sun Yuan just let the four seniors block him in the cave and watch the Nanzhou demon tribe be destroyed?"

Wang Xuange shook his head: "Sun Yuan will naturally not be trapped in a deadly place, and it seems that he has rushed out of the Burial Saint Abyss."

"But the four seniors joined forces to prevent him from escaping. In the end, they succeeded in killing him."

“However, during the battle of the God Transformation, within a thousand miles of the Saint Burial Abyss, the sky and earth changed color, and the spiritual energy became violent. No one dared to approach, and no one knew the specific circumstances of this battle.”

"The battle lasted for about a month, and everything calmed down within a thousand miles of the Sacred Burial Abyss."

"The great-grandmaster and three seniors showed up and announced that Sun Yuan was dead. The morale of all the sects was greatly boosted, and the speed of clearing out the demon king increased a lot."

"In less than two months, 90% of the transformed demon kings in Nanzhou were wiped out, and not a single level 10 demon king escaped."

“If the caves of these transformed demon kings were not scattered all over Nanzhou, it wouldn’t even take this long.”

Chen Yuan's eyes were filled with surprise: "Did the ten major sects all participate in the battle in Nanzhou?"

Wang Xuan Ge smiled proudly and drank another bottle of spirit wine: "Of course, there are only four Divine Transformation cultivators in our human race. Who dares not to obey the order issued by the great master and the three seniors?"

"Each sect has sent at least one great cultivator, two Nascent Soul middle-stage cultivators, and four Nascent Soul early-stage cultivators to participate in the battle."

"The Zhuyan White Bone Sect is weak. The seven Nascent Soul cultivators make up the majority of the sect's elders, but they dare not be perfunctory..."

He put down the jade cup, glanced at Chen Yuan, and said with a half-smile: "But the Jiuli Sect is still the most miserable."

"Thanks to you, fellow Daoist, most of the elders of Jiuli Sect died in that ancient secret realm, and the loss was heavy."

"We have to send out seven Nascent Soul Elders to deal with the demon tribe. There are only three elders left in the sect, and only Core Formation Deacons are guarding several important locations."

Chen Yuan shook his head: "Daoyou, you are wrong. I was possessed by the White Ape King in the secret realm. The death of the elders of Jiuli Sect is not what I want."

Wang Xuan Ge said: "But the Jiuli Sect blamed this incident on you, I have heard rumors that the Jiuli Sect seems to have secretly communicated with the Nanzhou demon tribe and wants to join forces to deal with you."

Chen Yuan narrowed his eyes: "Is this true?"

Wang Xuan Ge said, “I don’t know whether it’s true or not, but since the incident in the ancient secret realm, the Jiuli Sect has obviously suffered heavy losses, but it no longer sells monster beast materials and monster pills to the outside world, and it seems that it no longer enters Nanzhou to hunt monsters.”

"Even if they haven't joined forces with the demon tribe, they should have had some dealings with them in secret. This rumor is definitely not groundless."

"However, Ye Guihong should have cleared up the beginning and the end. Otherwise, as long as he leaves behind some evidence of colluding with the demon race, the Zhengqing Sect and the Zhuyan Baigu Sect will definitely not miss this opportunity and will cause great damage to the reputation of the Jiuli Sect."

Chen Yuan breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you for your reminder, fellow Daoist. It seems that I was not in a hurry to go to Wanling Pavilion to refine magic weapons. I have some foresight."

Wang Xuan Ge asked in confusion: "What does Daoist friend's refining of magic weapons have to do with Jiuli Sect?"

Chen Yuan said: "When I asked Daoist Qin Lian to help me refine treasures, Jiuli Sect Elder Tian You also asked Daoist Qin Lian to help..."

He recounted the whole story of the conflict between him and Tian You and how he captured his soul, omitting some secrets.

Finally, Chen Yuan said: "Before entering the ancient secret realm, Ye Guihong had teamed up with Sun Yuan, and he might not cooperate with him again."

"Although I am not sure, I still err on the side of caution, so I did not go to the Wanling Pavilion to refine treasures."

"Now it seems that maybe we have dodged a bullet."

Wang Xuange's eyes narrowed. "Fellow Daoist, you are not worrying too much. I have dealt with Ye Guihong several times. He is vindictive. Fellow Daoist has ruined the long-term plan of Jiuli Sect, and he will definitely not let it go."

"But fellow Daoist is valued by his great-grandmaster and the three seniors, and the Jiuli sect has suffered a great loss of strength."

"He certainly doesn't dare to cause trouble to you openly, so he can only collude with Sun Yuan in secret to plot against you."

"Wanling Pavilion has always had close ties with Jiuli Sect. Since he knows that fellow Taoist once captured Tian You, he will definitely not ignore this matter."

Chen Yuan nodded slightly: "Daoyou is right. If Ye Guihong wants to deal with me, he must first find my whereabouts."

"Besides the Wanling Pavilion, I have a close personal relationship with Daoist Qingliu, and there are many people who know about this."

"There must be a Jiuli sect disciple in Chongde City, asking about my whereabouts."

"As for your sect and Shaoxuan Sect, they are probably also within the detection range of Jiuli Sect."

"Even in Yuqing Sea, there may be disciples of Jiuli Sect active..."

Chen Yuan paused and smiled slightly: "But now that Sun Yuan has been killed by the four seniors, whether Ye Guihong is really investigating Chen's whereabouts or not, I should go to Wanling Pavilion."

Wang Xuange pondered for a moment and said, "Of course Ye Guihong can't do anything to you, but Jiuli Sect has a close relationship with Wanling Pavilion. If you go to Wanling Pavilion to refine magic weapons, he is likely to stop you." "But I have an old relationship with Nan Huaizi, the head of Wanling Pavilion, so I can write you a letter."

"If Ye Guihong really interferes, Nan Huaizi should not dare to make things difficult for his friend for the sake of our sect."

After saying that, he took out a blank jade slip, probed his spiritual consciousness into it, left a letter and a spiritual imprint, and handed it over.

Chen Yuan took the jade slip, put it into the mustard seed ring, clasped his fists and bowed: "Thank you, fellow Taoist."

Wang Xuan Ge put down the jade cup and glanced at the empty wine jar. With a hint of reluctance in his eyes, he smiled and said, "It's just a small favor. It's nothing to worry about."

Seeing this, Chen Yuan raised his sleeves and a wine jar appeared on the table out of thin air. "I still have a jar of this nameless spiritual wine, but I don't like wine. It would be a waste to keep it in my hands. Why not give it to you for your appreciation."

Wang Xuange's eyes lit up with joy: "Are you serious?"

"Unfortunately, this spiritual wine was obtained by me by chance, and I don't know where it came from. I hope you won't dislike it."

Wang Xuange laughed, grabbed the jar, took out the cork, took a deep sniff, and nodded repeatedly: "This one is even more mellow. I have never tasted such good wine before, how can I dislike it?"

"If you still have this kind of spiritual wine, don't forget Wang."

"No matter how many top-grade spirit stones you want, I will never bargain."

Chen Yuan smiled and said, "That's easy to say."

Wang Xuan Ge put the cork back in, put the wine into the mustard seed ring, stood up, clasped his fists and bowed: "Wang will not disturb you anymore, goodbye."

Chen Yuan stood up and escorted Wang Xuange out of the cave, then asked casually, "Did the three seniors suffer any injuries in the battle in Nanzhou?"

Wang Xuange hesitated for a moment and said, "On the surface, the three seniors are fine, but I don't know what's going on inside."

Chen Yuan's eyes flickered: "I wonder where Senior Lu is now, has he returned to the cave?"

Wang Xuan Ge gave him a deep look and said, "If you want to visit Senior Lu, just go to Tinglan Island."

"My great-grandmaster once instructed that Senior Lu will not easily leave Zhaoming Lake until you achieve the state of incarnation, and that I must not be negligent in the slightest."

Chen Yuan nodded: "Thank you for your reminder, fellow Taoist."

Wang Xuange said no more, and flew up into the sky with a flash of light.

Chen Yuan watched his figure disappear into the horizon, then he rode on a beam of light and flew all the way to Tinglan Island.

The scenery on Tinglan Island is beautiful, quiet and peaceful, with a few birds flying leisurely in the sky.

Chen Yuan landed in front of Lu Wangquan's cave, clasped his fists and bowed. Just as he was about to ask for a meeting, he heard Lu Wangquan's leisurely voice: "My friend, there is no need to be so polite."

Chen Yuan was startled, and then he saw the two stone doors in front of him flash with light and slowly open.

He stood up, thoughtfully, and walked into the cave.

It seems that Senior Lu is usually quite alert. Even in the cave, he never forgets to be on guard at all times...

Passing through a long and narrow passage, Chen Yuan came to the stone hall. Lu Wangquan was sitting behind the stone table, looking at him with a smile.

Chen Yuan clasped his fists and bowed: "Junior Chen Yuan, I pay my respects to Senior Lu."

Lu Wangquan raised his hand and pointed: "Young friend, please sit down."

Chen Yuan lifted the back of his clothes and sat down opposite Lu Wangquan, his body straight.

Lu Wangquan asked: "Congratulations on your great progress in cultivation. I wonder why you are here today?"

Chen Yuan said sincerely, "Today, Senior Qin summoned me and gave me a level 10 demon pill. I just learned that Sun Yuan was killed by the siege of the four seniors. I came here to thank you for eliminating a great enemy for me."

Lu Wangquan shook his head slightly: "Brother Daoist Qin made the greatest contribution to the killing of Sun Yuan this time. If I want to thank anyone, I should thank Brother Daoist Qin."

Chen Yuan's heart moved, and a puzzled look appeared on his face: "I only know that Senior Qin's alchemy skills have reached perfection. Could it be that his magical powers are also unfathomable?"

The reason he came to visit Lu Wangquan this time was to use Sun Yuan’s death to find out the methods of the four gods.

Lu Wangquan looked at him meaningfully and said, "My friend, you guessed correctly. Fellow Daoist Qin is not only unmatched in alchemy, but also has unfathomable strength."

"We almost failed in this fight against Sun Yuan. Fortunately, Fellow Daoist Qin turned the tide and prevented him from escaping."

Chen Yuan was surprised: "How could Sun Yuan be so fierce?"

A trace of fear flashed across Lu Wangquan's eyes, and he slowly said, "Sun Yuan has survived from ancient times to the present day, and has protected the demon tribe of Nanzhou for more than 30,000 years. If he was not strong, he would have been killed by our human ancestors long ago. How can we let him live at ease?"

"In the past thirty thousand years, he has refined countless spiritual herbs to temper his body. His body is comparable to that of a demon cultivator in the middle stage of the Spiritualization Stage, and his strength is enough to shake the heavens and the earth."

"The magical weapon Hunyuan Stick in his hand is made of some unknown spiritual material. It is indestructible, and he possesses the magical power of an immortal body. He is extremely difficult to deal with."

"In the end, it was only because Fellow Daoist Qin sacrificed his magical treasure that he was able to cut off his chance of survival."

Chen Yuan was puzzled and said, "As far as I know, the ten major sects all have a spiritual treasure to guard their heritage. The only one without a spiritual treasure, the Jiuli Sect, also has an ancestral beast that has lived for tens of thousands of years to guard the mountain gate."

"Senior Cangsong and Senior Ren should have no shortage of spiritual treasures. Could it be that the spiritual treasure in Senior Qin's hand is particularly powerful?"

Lu Wangquan smiled and said, "My friend, since you know that the ten great sects all have spiritual treasures, do you know that these spiritual treasures cannot leave the mountain gate at all?"

Chen Yuan was stunned: "Why is this?"

Lu Wangquan did not answer but asked: "If you were in charge of any of the ten major sects, how would you treat the spiritual treasures passed down in the sect?"

Chen Yuan said without hesitation: "Of course, it is to refine it and improve the strength."

As soon as he finished speaking, he was stunned.

Lu Wangquan smiled slightly: "This is why the spiritual treasures cannot leave the mountain gate. Except for the Jiuli Sect's ancestral beast, the spiritual treasures of the other nine major sects are all planted with many restrictions and cannot be refined by any cultivator."

"This is to prevent the younger generation from taking the spiritual treasure for their own selfish reasons."

Chen Yuan nodded slowly: "If the person who refined the spiritual treasure takes it out of the mountain gate and dies, and the spiritual treasure is left outside, this sect will be destroyed soon."

He thought of the Zixu Sword in his hand. This treasure of the Ziyang Sect had been kept in the mountain gate.

However, the Zi Yang Sect was too weak and eventually fell into his hands.

Lu Wangquan nodded: "Yes, no matter how powerful the spiritual treasure is, it is just a magic weapon after all, and it still needs a cultivator to control it."

“Even a Divine Transformation cultivator wouldn’t dare to claim to be invincible.”

"As powerful as Sun Yuan was, he was killed by the four of us."

"You must know that the Hunyuan Stick in his hand is a magical weapon."

Chen Yuan was shocked and opened his eyes wide: "Spiritual treasure magic weapon?"

Seeing this, Lu Wangquan smiled slightly and asked, "My friend, are you interested in that Hunyuan Stick?"

Chen Yuan hesitated for a moment and said, "Ever since I was taught by the seniors and learned what a divine weapon is, I have wanted to refine one."

"It would be great if we could obtain a magical weapon."

"But spiritual treasures are so precious that I dare not hope for them..."

Lu Wangquan sighed softly: "It's useless even if you have extravagant hopes."

"The Hunyuan Stick was connected to Sun Yuan's soul. When Sun Yuan died, the Hunyuan Stick also shattered."

A trace of doubt flashed across Chen Yuan's eyes: "As far as I know, the demon race cannot refine their own life magic weapon. Why is this Hunyuan Stick connected to Sun Yuan's soul?"

Lu Wangquan said calmly: "The ten major sects can all plant restrictions in spiritual treasures. It is not surprising that Sun Yuan has survived from ancient times to the present and has mastered some strange methods."

Chen Yuan seemed to remember something when he heard this, and asked, "May I ask, Senior, since the spiritual treasures of the ten great sects cannot be refined by humans, if there is an invasion by foreign enemies, how can we use them to defend against them?"

Lu Wangquan said: "Spiritual treasures are different from ordinary magic treasures. As long as they are spiritual treasures, they will give birth to instrument spirits."

"As long as you get the approval of the spirit of the weapon, you can control the spiritual treasure for a short period of time."

“If you can completely control the weapon spirit, you can even take it out of the mountain gate temporarily.”

Chen Yuan suddenly realized: "Senior Qin must have completely mastered the spirit of the weapon to be able to bring the spiritual treasure out of the mountain gate?"

Lu Wangquan shook his head: "It is extremely difficult to fully control the spirit of an artifact, especially the spiritual treasures of the ten major sects that have been passed down for tens of thousands of years, which are full of spirituality."

"If it could be easily controlled, over tens of thousands of years, people would have already used various means to refine the spiritual treasure. I wonder how many sects would have cut off their inheritance."

"Only when it is absolutely necessary can we pay a huge price and bring the spiritual treasure out of the mountain gate."

“As for the magic treasure in Fellow Daoist Qin’s hand, it was not left by the founder of Taiming Sect, but he got it from somewhere else, so he can use it freely.”

Chen Yuan was shocked: "The Taiming Sect actually has two spiritual treasures?"

Lu Wangquan nodded slowly: "Yes, I am just a casual cultivator. The spiritual treasures of Daoist Fellows Ren and Cangsong can only stay at the mountain gate to suppress their foundation."

"Brother Qin holds a magical treasure in his hand, so his strength is naturally the best among the human race."

"Sun Yuan also relies on the Hunyuan stick in his hand, and because the human race's incarnations are incompatible with each other."

"Only then can one, on his own, fight against several Divine Transformation cultivators of the human race."

"They even signed a contract that the two tribes would not interfere with each other and would protect the Nanzhou demon tribe for more than 30,000 years."

"The four of us joined forces this time because we want to help you reach the Divine Transformation stage, so we can work together sincerely."

"My friend has taken out the secret technique of the demon essence pill again. It requires a level 10 demon pill to refine the pill. Sun Yuan blocked our path, so we attacked him."

"Even so, it took us a lot of effort to kill him, and we almost failed."

Chen Yuan let out a long sigh and bowed: "Thank you for your teachings, Senior. I have really broadened my horizons today."

“No wonder Sun Yuan was so afraid of Senior Qin before the ancient secret realm was opened. It turns out that he was afraid of the magic treasure in Senior Qin’s hand.”

Lu Wangquan said: "These things are secrets to Nascent Soul cultivators, but after achieving the Divine Transformation stage, they will naturally know them. It's nothing."

"Young friend, you still need to improve your cultivation as soon as possible and strive for the Divine Transformation."

Chen Yuan said seriously: "Junior understands." (End of this chapter)
