Nine Transformations of the True Spirit

Chen Yuan and Zhang Wushan had a great conversation. In addition to talking about their experiences, they also exchanged their cultivation experiences, which was very rewarding.

Zhang Wushan was a disciple of a large sect. He was taught by Qingliu Layman. He had a deep cultivation level and had reached the false infant realm. He was only one step away from forming an infant. He was similar to Qingyou Zhenren a thousand years ago, but his understanding of the way of cultivation was more subtle than Qingyou Zhenren.

Chen Yuan's cultivation progressed very quickly. He had many difficult problems. Zhang Wushan could often point out the problem and clear the fog in front of him.

Chen Yuan was a rare physical cultivator with a strong body. He had experienced countless starlight infusions and tempered his body with the power of the Zhoutian stars. He had unique insights on how to warm the body with spiritual energy. After a detailed description, Zhang Wushan suddenly understood.

He was going to prepare for the Nascent Soul next, and this step was more difficult than the combined effort from the first level of Qi Refining to the False Nascent Soul. Not only did he have to polish his True Essence to make it pure and thick enough to break the Dan and transform into a Nascent Soul, he also had to survive the Yin Fire Tribulation, the Heavenly Thunder Tribulation, and the Heart Demon Tribulation, each one more difficult than the last.

Most of the late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators had weak bodies and could not even survive the Yin Fire Tribulation, let alone the Heavenly Thunder Tribulation and the Heart Demon Tribulation.

Zhang Wushan's True Essence was pure and thick, and he could break the Dan and transform into a Nascent Soul at any time, but he was not sure about surviving the three Nascent Soul Tribulations, and he dared not take this step.

He was also very happy to get Chen Yuan's guidance, and then he knew how to better use his spiritual energy to warm his body, and his confidence in Nascent Soul formation was a little greater.

In return, Zhang Wushan also shared with Chen Yuan part of the Nascent Soul experience he had collected from the Nascent Soul cultivators of the Haoran Sect.

The most essential part naturally could not be told, but just the more superficial experience benefited Chen Yuan a lot.

He had no Yuanying cultivator to guide him, and the Nine Transformations of the True Spirit was very brief and almost nonexistent for cultivation below the stage of Shenhua.

The person who created this technique seemed to have never thought that the people who practiced this technique would have to worry about the cultivation before the stage of Shenhua.

Chen Yuan also confirmed in his conversation with Zhang Wushan that Qingliu Layman had not revealed the news of Zhuyan True Fire to others, not even Zhang Wushan, his direct disciple.

He was even more grateful to Qingliu Layman. Qingliu Layman was a senior master and would not plot against the magical powers of the younger cultivators, but it was not certain for others.

After all, even a Yuanying mid-stage cultivator like Patriarch Yuntian could not resist the temptation of Zhuyan True Fire.

…

The two talked until noon the next day, and Chen Yuan just got up to say goodbye.

Zhang Wushan wanted to keep him, but Chen Yuan apologized, "I regret that I met you too late, and I want to continue discussing the mysteries of the Tao with you until we are satisfied."

"But the auction is about to start, and I still need to raise spiritual stones, so I have to leave first. I will definitely visit Chongde Mountains in person in the future."

Zhang Wushan showed regret, took out a jade token from the mustard seed ring, and handed it to Chen Yuan, "Well, the auction is a serious matter and cannot be delayed."

"Please keep this jade pendant, Brother Chen. When you come to Chongde Mountains in the future, just show this token and report the name of "Zhang Wushan, the true disciple of Yuexing Lake", and the on-duty disciple will notify me."

Chen Yuan put away the jade token, and Zhang Wushan personally sent him out the door, and the two said goodbye.

Chen Yuan first rented a cave in Xianju Pavilion at the foot of the mountain. As the auction was approaching, many cultivators came to Fanyang Market, including many Jindan cultivators. The caves in the market were almost rented out. Chen Yuan spent 20 high-quality spirit stones to rent a cave, and he could only live there for one month.

After repairing the magic weapon, he only had 63 spirit stones left, which was nearly one-third of his.

He did not lie to Zhang Wushan. He really needed to raise spirit stones, otherwise he could not buy the treasure that could limit teleportation, which was the key to ambush Kunfeng.

Chen Yuan followed the crowded flow of people and walked all the way to Fanyang Pavilion. There were all kinds of people on the road. Tens of thousands of immortal cultivators who killed people without blinking gathered in one place. There were conflicts all the time, but at most they were just arguments, and no one dared to take action.

In order to deal with the surge in foreign cultivators in Fanyang Market, the three medium-sized sects behind it sent a large number of disciples into the market to patrol everywhere.

At the same time, there were always two Yuanying cultivators in the market, and the powerful pressure was always over the market, like a mountain pressing on the hearts of all cultivators, and no one dared to act rashly.

It was precisely such a powerful means that maintained a good order, so that a large number of low-level cultivators came to Fanyang Market without worrying about being killed by high-level cultivators.

There were also a lot of people in Fanyang Pavilion, and they were crowded and formed several long queues behind the counter.

Chen Yuan couldn't wait any longer, and showed the aura of the late Jindan stage. Immediately, a foundation-building deacon came up and invited him to the quiet room on the second floor.

After Chen Yuan sat down, he said lightly: "How many treasures are there in this auction?"

The foundation-building cultivator hurriedly took out a jade slip from the storage bag, handed it to Chen Yuan with both hands, and said respectfully: "This is the treasure list of this auction, please take a look."

Chen Yuan took the jade slip, probed into it with his spiritual sense, and checked it carefully.

Only by first confirming whether there are things he needs at the auction can he make targeted efforts and raise the necessary spiritual stones.

The jade slip records a total of thousands of treasures, 90% of which are only suitable for cultivators at the tenth level of Qi Refining and foundation building, and the remaining more than 100 treasures are needed by Jindan cultivators.

Chen Yuan's consciousness is strong. After a moment, he read the jade slip and retracted his consciousness, but his expression was a little tangled.

It is worthy of being an auction held once every ten years. There are all kinds of treasures, and he really found something.

Lot No. 79 of the Jia character, Zhenkong Stone (incomplete), is a top-grade spiritual material. It lacks spirituality and can be used as an auxiliary material for refining space magic weapons. It can also suppress space fluctuations within a radius of 100 feet for a few breaths. The starting price is 500 high-grade spiritual stones.

Zhenkong Stone can suppress space fluctuations, but cannot teleport, which meets Chen Yuan's needs.

But this thing is a bit useless. It can only suppress a range of 100 feet, while Kun Feng can teleport across a distance of 100 feet.

Moreover, Zhenkong Stone is also a very famous top-grade spiritual material. Although its spirituality is lacking and its value is reduced by half, it can also be used to refine space magic weapons.

This kind of spiritual material is most favored by the sects and families. The starting price alone requires 500 high-grade spiritual stones, and the final transaction price is at least thousands of spiritual stones.

Chen Yuan can take out a thousand spiritual stones to repair the magic weapon, but he got it from Ji Laogui, a Yuanying cultivator. The thousand-year-old ice silk is produced in the extreme north ice field and is extremely rare in Renzhou, so he spent such a high price.

If you want to raise another 1,000 high-quality spirit stones, you have to spend a lot of money.

But treasures that can limit teleportation are extremely rare, and it is even rarer to encounter a spiritual Zhenkong stone that is lacking in spirituality. You must not miss this opportunity.

After weighing the pros and cons, Chen Yuan finally made a decision and said to the foundation-building deacon: "I have a few treasures that I want to send to the auction. Can you make the decision?"

The foundation-building deacon was delighted when he heard this: "Please wait for a moment, senior. I will report to the head of this pavilion now!" (End of this chapter)
