Nine Transformations of the True Spirit

Chen Yuan fled all the way back to Qingshan Village, where the light fell and hung over the Li family.

At this time, Li Qingshan got the storage bags from Feng Yongyan and Cheng Zaiming. He had no shortage of elixirs and was meditating in the house.

"Qingshan, wake up quickly." Chen Yuan's gentle voice penetrated into Li Qingshan's heart and woke him up.

Li Qingshan stood up, walked out of the hut, and flew into the air. With a look of surprise on his face, he bowed deeply to Chen Yuan: "Disciple pays homage to Master, why do you have time to come to my home?"

Chen Yuan said in a deep voice: "As a teacher, I injured an enemy. This person will definitely retaliate. As a teacher, I am not afraid of him. But if you encounter him, you will definitely suffer. Take your parents and leave here quickly to avoid this person." revenge."

Li Qingshan was stunned for a moment, then responded: "Yes, disciple understands."

He lowered his head and looked at the house below, with some sadness on his face. This was his home, and his ancestors had lived here for generations. He had practiced in this house for twenty years, and now he suddenly had to leave his homeland, which made him feel very uncomfortable.

Chen Yuan said warmly: "Qingshan, because of the teacher, you have to leave your hometown. Do you have any resentment in your heart?"

Li Qingshan shook his head heavily, with a solemn expression: "Once a teacher, always a father. The master taught the disciple sword cultivation techniques, gave the disciple elixirs and spiritual stones, and saved the disciple from Feng Yongyan and Cheng Zaiming. The disciple couldn't repay his kindness, how could he be so heartbroken? Angry?"

After he entered the path of cultivation, he learned about the vastness of the world of cultivation, including the ten major sects, Nascent Soul monks, and the demon king in disguise... He was just a small foundation-building monk, and in front of the real power, he was just an ant. , even the master cannot do whatever he wants.

Chen Yuan nodded slightly: "That person may not come to seek revenge. This is just in case. I will give you half an hour to pack up the soft furniture and throw away any bulky things."

"Disciple understands." Li Qingshan agreed, but there was a hint of worry on his face, "Master, will sister be okay?"

Chen Yuan frowned and said, "My enemy shouldn't be so crazy, just to vent his anger and ask about your relatives."

"But there are no absolutes. It's better to be careful. So, you take Qinglan and leave together."

"Yes!" Li Qingshan cupped his fists and bowed, then lowered his head to escape.

Chen Yuan flew back to the cave, put the formations deployed around the cave into the mustard ring, and then collected the debris.

Then he used Fu Hai Ge, destroyed the cave, and wiped out all the traces left, before returning to Qingshan Village, which only took half an hour.

Many people gathered in the Li family courtyard. Li Dalong and his wife looked at several houses with tears in their eyes, full of reluctance. Li Qingshan and a graceful middle-aged beautiful woman were comforting them.

In addition, there were two old people, a middle-aged Confucian scholar, and a boy of fifteen or sixteen years old, with a somewhat frightened face. There were more than ten people standing aside, all servants of the hospital.

Chen Yuan landed in the courtyard. Everyone looked over and Li Qingshan came up to him: "Master!"

The rest of the people bowed down one after another, and many kowtowed.

"The villain has seen the immortal master!"

"Master Chen Xian, you are so polite!"

The scene was chaotic. Chen Yuan raised his hand to help, and an invisible soft force lifted everyone up.

Li Qingshan cupped his fists and bowed: "Master, my sister's husband's family also wanted to leave together. I made my own decision and allowed them, and asked Master to punish me."

Chen Yuan said: "It's okay. Have you packed up everything?"

His eyes swept over everyone. Except for the familiar Li Dalong and his wife, all the mortals did not dare to look at him and lowered their heads.

Only the graceful middle-aged beautiful woman looked at Chen Yuan blankly, and her delicate appearance when she was young could be vaguely seen between her eyebrows.

Facing Chen Yuan's gaze, she smiled softly and said a blessing: "Qinglan has met Mr. Chen."

Li Qingshan nodded: "All disciples have received it in the storage bag."

Chen Yuan raised his sleeve and flicked it, and a ray of light swept up everyone in the courtyard and flew into the air.

Everyone exclaimed, Li Qingshan frowned and said: "Don't panic!"

But these are all mortals, experiencing the feeling of flying in the clouds and mist for the first time. The novelty is mixed with fear, and they keep shouting and screaming.

Chen Yuan didn't say anything to stop them. They flew in the air for half an hour before they calmed down.

After flying for more than two thousand miles, passing through several prosperous cities, and arriving outside an inconspicuous county town, Chen Yuan just descended to escape the light.

Like Yunrui County, this county is also close to the Qingkang Mountains.

"Qingshan, take people into the county, settle down, and go to that mountain tomorrow to find a teacher." Chen Yuan pointed to a mountain with a height of tens of feet and ordered.

"Yes." Li Qingshan agreed and led everyone towards the county town.

Chen Yuan rode up to the mountain and sat cross-legged on the top of the mountain.

In the evening of the next day, Li Qingshan came to the top of the mountain, stopped in front of Chen Yuan, clasped his fists and bowed, and said respectfully: "Master, I have settled my parents, sister, brother-in-law and family."

Chen Yuan opened his eyes and nodded slightly: "My teacher will be practicing in seclusion next. You need to practice diligently and don't slack off."

Li Qingshan said: "Disciple understands. Only after this incident did I realize how stupid I was before."

"The world of immortal cultivation is extremely dangerous. Disciples should not be greedy for family affection and stay with their parents."

"The disciple has left a large amount of gold and silver to his parents and sisters, which is enough for them to be rich and prosperous for a lifetime. From now on, the disciple will follow the master to practice in the mountains and devote himself to seeking the Tao!"

Chen Yuan showed a look of approval: "Very good. It's a great pleasure for me that you can understand this. Now, let's go into the mountains with me."

He stood up, flew into the mountain with his escape light, and Li Qingshan followed closely behind.

The two of them went into the mountain for more than a hundred miles, and came to a steep mountain hundreds of feet high, and then they lowered their escape light.

Chen Yuan looked around and saw that this place was full of ancient trees, beautiful mountains and clear waters, waterfalls, pearls and jade splashing, and few people were here. It was very quiet.

He nodded with satisfaction: "This peak has beautiful scenery and rich spiritual energy. I will open a cave here. Don't go far. Choose a mountain within 30 miles around to open a cave."

Li Qingshan immediately agreed and flew back into the sky to find a place he liked.

Chen Yuan sacrificed the Fuhai Ge, selected a place on the mountainside, chopped it horizontally and vertically, and the hard rock was as fragile as tofu. After a while, he dug out a rough cave.

Then he carefully carved out a stone hall, a practice room, an alchemy room, and a stone room with a skylight to facilitate the infusion of starlight.

Chen Yuan took out the furniture in the mustard ring and put them in place one by one. Then he took out the array plate and array flags and set up a high-level spiritual array around the cave. Even if a Jindan cultivator attacked, the array could resist for at least a quarter of an hour.

He bought this set of array flags in Fanyang Market. Next, he needed to refine pills, practice hard in seclusion, and refine the essence of the true spirit. He had no time to be distracted, so the cave could not lack protection.

High-level cultivators were rarely seen in the Qingkang Mountains, and the level of monsters was not high. High-level spiritual arrays were enough to protect the safety of the cave.

After Chen Yuan arranged the cave, another hour passed. Li Qingshan came to the cave and reported: "My disciple's cave is 23 miles away in the southwest."

Chen Yuan encouraged him again before letting Li Qingshan retreat, opening the array, closing the cave, and coming to the alchemy room.

He raised his sleeves and took out the alchemy furnace that had been used for nearly a hundred years, as well as dozens of wooden boxes containing demon pills and hundreds of hundred-year-old spiritual herbs, and placed them on the ground, forming a small hill.

Chen Yuan now only had a bottle of late-stage pills in his hand, and he was still a long way from the false infant realm, so he needed a lot of pills.

And according to the previous experience of refining Zhu Yan's true blood, every time he refined the true spirit blood, the true essence would become more pure, and his cultivation would also decline. He had to prepare a large amount of pills in advance.

Chen Yuan sat cross-legged, and a jade pendant appeared out of thin air in his palm. He lowered his head and stared, gently stroking it a few times, his eyes were gentle.

This was the jade pendant that Jing Shuhan gave him.

After a while, Chen Yuan put away the jade pendant, his eyes slowly calmed down, his mind was clear, like an ancient well without waves.

He raised his hand and pinched the seal, and the true essence flew out, turning into a spiritual fire, wrapping the alchemy furnace, and then raised his hand and waved, a seventh-level demon pill flew into the alchemy furnace and slowly turned.

Chen Yuan's eyes closed slightly, and the training room fell into silence.

A month later, Chen Yuan opened the pill furnace, and two gray pills flew out. The rich spiritual energy spread, forming a few wisps of spiritual mist, lingering on the surface of the pill.

Chen Yuan frowned. The first batch of the seventh-level demon Yuan Dan was refined very smoothly, but the success rate was only 20%, which was really too low.

Since he refined dozens of furnaces of the fifth-level demon Yuan Dan on the Blood Island more than 20 years ago, and the success rate reached 50%, he has never devoted himself to refining pills, and his alchemy skills have never improved.

Now he skipped the sixth-level demon Yuan Dan and directly refined the seventh-level demon Yuan Dan. The success rate can be 20%, which is the result of his cultivation level being raised to the late stage of Dan Jie and his spiritual consciousness rising sharply. Otherwise, it would drop by another 10%.

Fortunately, he had a lot of demon pills prepared in his hands, and there were more than 20 eight-hundred-year-old spiritual herbs. Otherwise, the pills he refined might not be able to raise his cultivation level to the false infant realm.

Chen Yuan put the seventh-level demon essence pill into the jade bottle, meditated and cultivated, and restored his true essence.

Two hours later, Chen Yuan's true essence was fully restored. It was also midnight. He got up and went to the stone room with a skylight, took out the jade pendant, and led the starlight to fill his body.

The brilliant silver light descended, and after forty breaths (note), the true essence that had just recovered in Chen Yuan's dantian was consumed, his body was slightly strengthened, and the range of his spiritual consciousness also expanded by ten feet.

Compared with the eight hundred years of body-tempering elixir, the effect of starlight filling the body to strengthen the body is minimal, but it is more stable. With the accumulation of time, the effect cannot be underestimated, and it is the real foundation of Chen Yuan's practice.

He put away the jade pendant, returned to the practice room, meditated and cultivated, and when his true essence was fully restored, he got up and went to the alchemy room to start refining the elixir.

Time is like flowing water, and in a flash, ten years have passed.

In the past ten years, except for giving Li Qingshan a three-day lecture every other year, Chen Yuan spent the rest of his time refining pills, occasionally drawing starlight to infuse his body and strengthen his physical body.

He first refined dozens of level 7 demon pills into pills, greatly improving his alchemy skills, and gradually increasing the success rate of refining level 7 demon Yuan Dan.

His spiritual awareness was already higher than that of cultivators of the same level, and now he had dozens of furnaces of pills to refine. He was also very experienced, far exceeding other alchemy masters. After refining the last furnace of demon Yuan Dan, the success rate was as high as 60%.

If he went back to refine level 5 demon Yuan Dan at this time, he would have a success rate of 90%, which was no more than that of a great alchemy master.

The demon power in the demon pill was violent, and the success rate of refining demon Yuan Dan was originally 10% lower.

When Chen Yuan turned to refining pills with 800-year-old spiritual herbs, the success rate reached 70%.

When old man Dan Jue refined pills in the late stage of Jindan, the success rate was as high as 80%, unprecedented in history.

Chen Yuan is slightly inferior to him, but he is already better than 99% of the alchemy masters and is rare in the world of immortal cultivation. As long as he succeeds in forming a Nascent Soul, it will not be difficult for him to refine elixirs for the early stage of the Nascent Soul.

Chen Yuan refined more than 20 eight-hundred-year-old spiritual herbs into elixirs, but only six spiritual herbs were left behind because they lacked auxiliary medicines or could not be used to refine cultivation elixirs.

The recipe for the late-stage elixir can be easily obtained, but the spiritual herbs are scarce.

Chen Yuan was able to gather the spiritual herbs for several furnaces of elixirs mainly because he got many rare eight-hundred-year-old spiritual herbs in the outside world in Jueling Island, which can be used as the main medicine, and then buy some auxiliary medicines in the market.

Even so, there are still several spiritual herbs that have not been bought, resulting in several eight-hundred-year-old spiritual herbs being unused.

Whenever this happened, Chen Yuan was extremely grateful to the old man Dan Jue. If he had not left the recipe for the Yaoyuan Pill, Chen Yuan would not be able to gather the required cultivation elixir by refining only spiritual herbs.

After the eight-hundred-year-old spiritual herbs were used up, Chen Yuan took out a Kunyu grass and began to refine the body-quenching spiritual pill.

The spiritual energy contained in the body-quenching spiritual medicine is also quite violent, and it is extremely tough and difficult to purify.

Even though Chen Yuan had extraordinary spiritual consciousness and pure and profound true essence, it took him one and a half months, consuming most of his true essence and spiritual consciousness, to refine the first batch of Kunyu Pills.

The refining time of the Tempering Spiritual Pill is half a month longer than that of ordinary late-stage Jindan pills, and the success rate of the pills has also dropped to 60%.

The same is true for the second batch of Kunyu Grass. The third batch of Vajra Pills uses Vajra Apricot as the main ingredient, and the refining time is extended to two months, and the success rate of the pills has dropped to 50%.

After refining this batch of Vajra Pills, Chen Yuan's true essence was exhausted and his spiritual consciousness was exhausted. He rested for three days before he recovered.

After ten years of refining pills, Chen Yuan was extremely tired, but the harvest was also huge. He refined fourteen bottles of late-stage Jindan pills and two bottles of Tempering Spiritual Pills.

For the next month, he did not meditate and practice, but walked out of the cave, did not fly in the air, strolled in the quiet mountains and forests, listened to the monkeys and tigers, the cicadas and birds, climbed the thousand-foot peaks, and overlooked the vast mountains.

After a month, Chen Yuan felt relaxed, his fatigue was gone, and his state of mind improved a bit.

He returned to the cave, activated the formation, closed the stone door, took the elixir, and finally began to practice in seclusion. (End of this chapter)
