Nine Transformations of the True Spirit

Master Qingyou was stunned for a moment and murmured: "The collapse of the Wentian Cauldron? Thousands of years have passed..."

His expression was a little complicated, but he quickly returned to normal and said with a smile: "Although the Wentian Cauldron collapsed, are you willing to hand over all the magic weapons and spiritual materials you obtained?"

"I left three magic weapons and four high-grade spiritual materials in the mustard seed ring, which are enough to make any alchemy monk jealous. I wonder if Mr. Xiaoyou can resist such temptations?"

Chen Yuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Master Qingyou was unable to perceive the outside world in the Soul-nurturing Wood and did not know that he had not obtained all the treasures.

And after he absorbs the spirituality in the soul-nurturing tree, he will immediately put it away. Master Qingyou has never seen Yujue and does not know the secret of Yujue.

Chen Yuan said calmly: "Senior, you are overly worried. This junior did not enter the secret realm of the Heavenly Cauldron alone. He only got a flying sword magic weapon and this half piece of soul-nurturing wood."

"Even if the senior doesn't say anything, the junior will take the initiative to offer it to the teacher in the sect. It is useless to threaten the junior."

When he made the external demon oath with Liu Fan and Yu Qing before, he left a way out. If others already knew the existence of the secret realm of space, it would not be considered a voluntary leak and the oath would not be violated.

Master Qingyou smiled and said: "Even if I am willing to give away the treasure in my hand, besides the Asking Heaven Cauldron, I have another cave where many treasures are hidden..."

Chen Yuan's face darkened, and Master Qingyou said calmly: "Although I only have one soul left, I am not afraid of the soul-searching technique. Even if the master of my little friend's sect is a Nascent Soul monk, he can't even think of searching for my soul." ”

"As long as I inform the teacher of the little friend's school about this news, and add that the little friend also knows about it, I don't need to go into details about what will happen to the little friend then, right?"

Chen Yuan's expression changed. If Master Qingyou really did this, no matter how he argued, he would not be able to escape the fate of being searched for his soul.

Jin Luoheng treated him well, but in front of the cave treasure of "the first cultivator under Yuanying", any relationship between master and disciple would appear fragile, and Chen Yuan did not dare to gamble.

Although there is a jade jade guarding the soul, the soul-searching technique may not be useful to him, but if the secret of the jade jade is discovered, it may even lead to Yu Jue...

Chen Yuan's thoughts were swirling in his heart, and his face became increasingly ugly.

Facing a late-stage pill-forming monk, even if only his soul remained, he had no choice but to be coerced by him.

If it weren't for the jade jade guarding his soul, he would have been taken away by Master Qingyou.

Now that Master Qingyou has made it clear, he can no longer turn to Jin Luoheng for help and can only reach a compromise with Master Qingyou.

Chen Yuan slowly calmed down and said, "Senior, what do you want?"

Master Qingyou smiled and said: "Don't worry, little friend, I don't want to stay in your soul space forever."

"Although I live in the soul-nurturing tree and don't know anything about the outside world, my little friend's spiritual consciousness is far superior to that of monks of the same level, and he can enter the secret realm of the Heavenly Cauldron. He is definitely not a mediocre person. I don't want to be an enemy of my little friend."

"As long as little friend can find a foundation-building monk and let me seize the body, I will swear an oath to the outside world to leave immediately and never embarrass my little friend. How about that?"

Chen Yuan's heart moved. Not even the Nascent Soul cultivator dared to violate the external demon's oath. If Master Qingyou swore the external demon's oath, he could believe it.

He pondered for a moment and said: "As long as the senior swears an oath from the outside world that he will not reveal the secret realm of Wentian Cauldron to outsiders, and will not antagonize the junior in any way, the junior can agree to this."

Master Qingyou said: "I can make an oath right now. As long as I find a foundation-building monk and let me seize my body, I will never tell others about my entering the secret realm of the Heavenly Cauldron, and I will never tell anyone else." If you have this thought of being an enemy of your little friend, you will be invaded by external demons when you practice in the future, and there will never be peace!"

After he swore the oath, he smiled and said: "I have sworn the oath according to my friend's request. Do you also want to show your sincerity?"

Master Qingyou took the oath so readily that Chen Yuan didn't expect it, and felt a little uneasy in his heart. However, the external demon's oath has been taken, which shows that Master Qingyou is not lying.

He carefully recalled Master Qingyou's oath several times and found no loopholes. He suppressed the uneasiness in his heart and asked, "How do you want me to show my sincerity?"

Master Qingyou smiled and said: "I am just a soul. If I leave my soul space, I can kill me easily."

"Only if my friend also swears an oath from outsiders to find a foundation-building monk for me to help me seize my body, can I leave my soul space with peace of mind."

When Chen Yuan heard this, there was a trace of hesitation on his face, and the uneasiness in his heart surged up again.

Master Qingyou noticed the change in Chen Yuan's expression and said with a smile: "Why are you still hesitant, little friend? I have already made an oath, can't I still make you believe in my sincerity?"

After hearing this, Chen Yuan felt more and more uneasy.

He still couldn't understand why Master Qingyou would be so willing to swear an oath to a foreign demon.

Suddenly, he remembered the description of the external demon in "Nine Transformations of the True Spirit" and said slowly: "I don't understand something, and I would like to ask senior to clarify my confusion."

"Senior is a monk in the late stage of pill formation. After seizing the body, he only has foundation building cultivation. If he violates his oath and intrudes on his oath, what level will the external demons that invade his senior be at?"

Master Qingyou smiled and said: "My little friend is joking. External demons are natural monsters and they are not monks. How can they be divided into levels?"

Chen Yuan sneered: "As far as I know, external demons eat souls and souls, but cannot absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth on their own. That is why they invade the monks' souls and steal the spiritual energy when they are practicing."

"Monks have different cultivation levels, and the amount of spiritual energy they absorb varies. Naturally, the encounters with external demons are also different."

"After taking over the body, you only have the foundation-building cultivation, but your soul is that of a Jindan cultivator. Even if you break your oath and are invaded by the external demons, I'm afraid they can't do anything to you, right?"

The expression of Master Qingyou finally changed: "Who are you?"

The external demons are extremely mysterious, and cultivators who are invaded by them rarely survive.

Master Qingyou has a mysterious origin and a high level of cultivation, but his understanding of the external demons is far less than that of Chen Yuan.

Chen Yuan did not answer, but asked: "It seems that the senior has agreed with what I said?"

Zhenren Qingyou laughed again: "You guessed right, as long as I succeed in taking over the body, the external demons will not be able to do anything to me."

"But please rest assured, my cultivation will not be able to stop at the foundation building forever. When my cultivation is restored, I will still be unable to resist the external demons, so I naturally dare not violate my oath."

"If you still don't believe it, I can swear by my inner demon, how about it?"

Chen Yuan said: "Senior's cultivation was at the peak of Jindan when he was alive, but he did not form a Yuanying. After the senior took over the body, how many chances do you have to form a Yuanying? This kind of illusory oath, I don't believe it."

Zhenren Qingyou laughed: "It depends on your means. If you just find a foundation building cultivator with low qualifications, I will have no hope of forming a Yuanying, and naturally I will not put the oath on it. heart."

"But if you can find a cultivator with a natural spiritual root for me, I can rely on my cultivation experience to cultivate again in my life, and my chances of forming a fetus will be greatly increased. You don't have to worry that I will break my oath."

"Of course, if you really don't trust me, then I can only stay in your soul space."

"You are only in the middle stage of foundation building now. If you want to cultivate to the late stage of Dan formation and destroy my soul, it will take at least hundreds of years. Before that, you can only live next to me."

"But don't worry, you have the wordless jade disk to protect your soul, I can't take your body, and my life span is less than two hundred years. In more than a hundred years, my soul will dissipate on its own..."

He didn't feel ashamed for deceiving Chen Yuan at all, and his tone was very sincere, as if he was really considering Chen Yuan.

But Chen Yuan would never keep Qing You Zhenren in the soul space. Qing You Zhenren could perform secret techniques to send the essence of the soul into his soul space. Who knows if he has other means?

Chen Yuan couldn't always look inward. If he ignored Qingyou Zhenren, it would be like raising a tiger to harm himself.

Qingyou Zhenren knew this very well, so he was fearless and didn't worry that Chen Yuan would see through his lies.

Chen Yuan had only one way to go, that is, to find a foundation-building cultivator with excellent talent for him, so that he could keep the hope of forming a baby, and then he could keep his oath.

Qingyou Zhenren wanted to wait until Chen Yuan made the oath of the outer demon before making it clear. At that time, Chen Yuan was forced to do his best to find a talented cultivator for him.

But he didn't expect that Chen Yuan knew so much about the outer demon and saw through this in advance. He could only analyze the pros and cons carefully.

Unless Jin Luoheng didn't covet Qingyou Zhenren's cave, or Chen Yuan had a way to kill Qingyou Zhenren's soul, he could only search for a talented cultivator for Qingyou Zhenren to let him have the hope of forming a baby, and he would not break his oath.

Chen Yuan's expression changed, and there was a flash of struggle in his eyes, as if he was in hesitation.

True Man Qing You smiled and said, "Don't worry, my friend, I don't want to fight you to the death, and I won't let you work in vain."

"As long as you promise to find a genius cultivator for me, I can guide you to practice, and I can also give you half of the treasure in the other cave, and I will never let you suffer a loss."

Chen Yuan's expression changed slightly, and he seemed quite interested, but his eyes were still a little hesitant.

True Man Qing You threw out another condition: "I also know a shocking secret, and I am willing to share it with you. As long as you know it, your hope of forming a pill will be greatly increased, and even forming an infant is a bit possible."

"Is what the senior said true?" Chen Yuan finally stopped being silent.

True Man Qing You said solemnly: "Of course, as long as you make a vow, I will tell you this earth-shattering secret."

Chen Yuan asked: "Senior, is there a time limit for me to find a foundation-building cultivator?"

True Man Qing You said: "Of course, the sooner the better, but it cannot exceed ten years at the latest."

"If the delay is too long, even if I succeed in taking over the body, I will not have time to form a baby."

Chen Yuan pondered for a moment and said: "After I swear, will you leave my soul space?"

True Man Qing You shook his head slightly: "My friend, please forgive me, the spiritual power in the half piece of soul-nourishing wood It will soon be exhausted, and I can't place my soul there. Before I succeed in taking over the body, I can only stay in your soul space temporarily. "

Chen Yuan frowned: "Will what I see and hear be seen by the senior?"

Qing You Zhenren smiled and said: "Don't worry, my friend, I have practiced for hundreds of years, and what I have seen and heard is far beyond your imagination. No matter what opportunities and secrets you have, I will not covet them at all."

Chen Yuan nodded slowly: "Let me think about it for a few days and then give you an answer."

Qing You Zhenren smiled and said: "This matter is not urgent."

Chen Yuan bowed to Qing You Zhenren and slowly closed his eyes.

Qing You Zhenren looked at Chen Yuan's soul with his eyes closed, laughed, sat cross-legged, closed his eyes and rested his mind.

...

When Chen Yuan opened his eyes again, his mind had left his soul, and in front of him was a quiet and elegant practice room.

He pondered for a moment, closed his eyes again, absorbed the spirituality from the soul-nourishing wood, and restored his consciousness.

A quarter of an hour later, Chen Yuan's consciousness returned to normal. Only an inch of the soul-nourishing tree remained, and there was very little spiritual energy left in it.

Chen Yuan looked inwards, his mind entered his soul, and saw Qing You Zhenren sitting in his soul space, his eyes slightly closed, his expression indifferent.

Chen Yuan retracted his mind, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

When Qing You Zhenren offered the conditions, he did consider whether to find a talented cultivator for Qing You Zhenren to help him take over his body.

But Qing You Zhenren's words dispelled his idea.

The Soul Nurturing Tree still contains a lot of spirituality, and Qing You Zhenren only gave Chen Yuan ten years to find a foundation-building cultivator, which was enough for him to place his soul.

But Qing You Zhenren first agreed to return to the Soul Nurturing Tree, but then went back on his word and insisted on staying in Chen Yuan's soul space, being fickle and full of lies.

Chen Yuan knew that he must be worried that he would break his oath and destroy his soul.

It was normal for Qing You Zhenren to have such concerns. Even if Chen Yuan broke his oath, it was just because his state of mind was flawed. He would be invaded by external demons when he practiced in the future, and he would not die immediately.

If Chen Yuan wanted to fight to the death with him, he could destroy his soul first.

Moreover, Chen Yuan had the jade disc to protect him, so he was not necessarily afraid of the invasion of external demons.

Chen Yuan also had this concern. Even if he found a genius cultivator for Qing You Zhenren, Qing You Zhenren only had less than two hundred years of life left, and the probability of forming a baby was very low.

Before taking over the body, Qing You Zhenren would stay in Chen Yuan's soul space, and all of Chen Yuan's secrets could not be hidden from him, including the secret of the jade.

If Qing You Zhenren had no hope of forming a baby and broke his oath, whether he tried to snatch the jade or leaked the secret of the jade, Chen Yuan could not accept it.

He would rather keep Qing You Zhenren's soul in the soul space, and would not cooperate with such a treacherous villain and pin his life and death on his character.

And it's not that he didn't have the opportunity to destroy Qing You Zhenren's soul. According to the jade disc, the power of the Zhoutian stars is extremely yang and strong, and it has a killing effect on all evil spirits.

The body of Master Qing You has been destroyed, and only his soul has been sleeping in the Soul Nurturing Tree for a thousand years. Chen Yuan doesn't know if he is a ghost now, but he is definitely a ghost.

So Chen Yuan first used words to stabilize Master Qing You, and waited until the next time to guide the starlight to infuse the body, and then tried to guide the power of the Zhoutian stars to destroy Master Qing You's soul.

If the power of the Zhoutian stars is useless to the soul, he can only keep Master Qing You in the soul space and then look for the secret method to attack the soul.

This move is very dangerous, but Chen Yuan has the jade disk to protect himself, so he should not be possessed by Master Qing You.

But even if he is possessed, Chen Yuan will never compromise.

Although he longs for immortality and transcendence, he is not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death.
