Nine Transformations of the True Spirit.

After finishing this, Chen Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, and his spiritual sense probed into the spiritual herb atlas he had just copied and examined it carefully.

After being plotted against by the middle-aged scholar, Chen Yuan became more cautious than before.

The old man in black robe had a request for him, so the spiritual herb illustration he gave him should be fine, but just in case, Chen Yuan would have to destroy it to feel at ease.

What the old man in black robe said was true. This spiritual herb atlas recorded tens of thousands of spiritual herbs. Even the thirty, fifty, and eighty year old spiritual herbs used by Qi-refining monks were included. It was extremely detailed.

The records of thousand-year-old spiritual herbs, three-thousand-year-old spiritual herbs, and five-thousand-year-old spiritual herbs opened Chen Yuan's eyes. He immediately took out the spiritual herbs from the mustard seed ring and compared them one by one.

Three hours later, Chen Yuan finally withdrew his consciousness from the jade slip, but a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes and he lowered his head.

There were more than a dozen wooden boxes hanging in front of him, with their lids all open, containing three spiritual herbs that were suspected to be five thousand years old, including the green spiritual flower.

The other two magical herbs were exactly as he expected, the legendary five thousand year old magical herbs.

However, this emerald green spiritual flower with twelve petals is not recorded in the spiritual herb atlas.

Even in the spiritual herb illustration given to him by the old man in black robe, there was no record of this green spiritual flower. What was the origin of this flower and what were its magical uses?

Chen Yuan pondered for a moment, suddenly shook his head, raised his sleeves and flicked them, all the wooden boxes closed again, and the spirit-sealing talismans slowly returned to their places.

The thousand-year-old spiritual herb was stored in the mustard seed ring, while the three thousand-year-old spiritual herb, the five thousand-year-old spiritual herb and the green spiritual flower were stored in the space inside the body.

Chen Yuan raised his sleeves again, and a small hill made of jade slips appeared out of thin air in front of him, occupying most of the training room.

Chen Yuan took a deep breath, and dispersed his spiritual consciousness, dividing it into thousands of thoughts, which probed into the jade slip and checked them one by one.

These jade slips were treasured in a mustard seed ring by the monk who passed away. Perhaps there were records about the green spiritual flower among them.

Chen Yuan looked at this for three days, until he heard Wang Xuange's call from outside the cave. He withdrew his consciousness from the vast sea of ​​jade slips, and a look of fatigue appeared on his slightly pale face.

Chen Yuan took a breath for a while and became energetic again. He stood up and walked out of the training room, took out the jade token and waved it, opened the stone door of the cave, and welcomed Wang Xuan Ge in.

The two men sat down as host and guest. Chen Yuan wanted to say a few words, but Wang Xuange raised his sleeve and a jade slip and thirteen wooden boxes appeared out of thin air on the table and slowly slid in front of Chen Yuan.

"I am here on the orders of my great-grandmaster to give these spiritual herbs and the recipe to Daoist Fellow Chen. Please review them."

Chen Yuan raised his hand and picked up the jade slip. He used his spiritual sense to take a quick look inside, then opened all the wooden boxes. He glanced around and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

In these twelve wooden boxes, there are two three thousand year old spiritual herbs and ten thousand year old spiritual herbs. They are all rare spiritual herbs that are enough to refine elixirs for the late Nascent Soul stage, and can also be used to make several furnaces of elixirs.

Chen Yuan raised his head and bowed to Wang Xuange: "Thank you, fellow Taoist."

Wang Xuan Ge lowered his head slightly, and glanced at the wooden box and jade slips. A hint of reluctance flashed in his eyes, and he said lightly: "Wang has already informed the ancestor brother who is in charge of the Earth Fire Palace. If you want to use the earth fire to refine pills, just go to the Earth Fire Palace. Our disciples will not stop you. Farewell."

After saying that, he bowed to Chen Yuan and stood up.

When the old man in black robe asked him to hand over all the spiritual herbs and all the late Nascent Soul elixir recipes in the sect to Chen Yuan, Wang Xuan Ge was stunned and could not believe it at all.

But since Great Master had given the order, no one in Taiming Sect dared to disobey.

No matter how unwilling Wang Xuange was, he had to agree obediently.

But he didn't want to hand over the sect's treasure to an outsider, so he delayed for three days before coming to Chen Yuan's cave with the recipe for the spiritual herb pill.

How could Chen Yuan not hear the dissatisfaction implied in Wang Xuan Ge's tone? He pretended not to know and personally escorted Wang Xuan Ge out of the cave, showing all courtesy.

He didn't care what Wang Xuan Ge thought. The improvement of his own cultivation was related to the black-robed old man's plan of ascension. If Wang Xuan Ge dared to interfere, he would only ask for trouble.

After seeing Wang Xuan Ge off, Chen Yuan put away the spiritual herb pill recipe and returned to the training room, his face showing fatigue again.

After checking tens of thousands of jade slips non-stop for three days and three nights, Chen Yuan's spiritual power was greatly consumed, and he was just forcing himself to cover it up just now.

He closed his eyes and meditated, regulating his breathing for nearly three hours before he recovered and opened his eyes again.

Although the process of checking the jade slips was extremely lengthy, he also gained a lot from it.

These tens of thousands of jade slips cover everything, from the basic skills of the Qi Refining period to the magical skills that are sufficient to cultivate to the late stage of the Spirit Transformation period, the inheritance of the hundreds of arts of cultivation such as alchemy, refining, talismans and formations, the magical skills of cultivating spirit beasts and strange insects... and so on, too numerous to mention.

Among them, there are as many as five sets of Spirit Transformation techniques alone, and there are as many as eighty-three sets of Nascent Soul techniques, fourteen of which can be cultivated to the late Nascent Soul stage.

The inheritance of the hundred arts of cultivation is also extremely complete. Among them, the alchemy inheritance contains seventeen recipes for elixirs for the God Transformation Stage, and there are hundreds of recipes for elixirs for the Nascent Soul Stage. They were all collected by Chen Yuan.

However, the spiritual herb illustrations in the alchemy inheritance were not as good as the one the black-robed old man gave him. After all, the Yuling Sect was a sect based on taming beasts, and was not as good as the Taiming Sect in alchemy.

Among the ten major sects, Taiming Sect's alchemy skills have always ranked first.

Its founder, Danxuzi, was once the number one alchemist in Jiuxianzhou, and the legacy he left behind is unmatched.

In addition to the inheritance of martial arts, there are also various magical skills, some of which are mysterious and exquisite, some are strange and cruel, which opened Chen Yuan's eyes.

The only pity is that most of the inheritance left by the Yuling Sect is related to the art of taming beasts. There is only one physical cultivation method, which is the "Demon God Art" that Chen Yuan already possesses.

Among these tens of thousands of jade slips, what interested Chen Yuan the most was an illustrated guide to monsters and the new insights left by the divine cultivators of the Yuling Sect.

This monster illustration book records tens of thousands of monster species and is even more complicated than the spiritual herb illustration book that the black-robed old man gave him.

Among them are not only monsters from the human world, but also types of monsters from the thirteen realms that have been occupied by humans, which opened Chen Yuan's eyes.

The insights left behind by more than a dozen of Yuling Sect's incarnation cultivators detailed their secret methods and experiences in breaking through to the incarnation realm.

However, the secret method of the Yuling Sect to break through to the God Transformation requires cooperation with spirit beasts, which is useless to Chen Yuan.

However, those experiences of breaking through to the God Transformation realm were Chen Yuan’s first glimpse into the God Transformation realm, and he felt suddenly enlightened.

Some difficult problems that arose during daily practice were easily solved, and my understanding of the great principles of heaven and earth was deepened.

This was just a quick glance over. If he carefully understood it, he would gain more.

Chen Yuan put the Monster Atlas and the Experience of Transformation into the space in his body, then spent a day sorting out the inheritance of the Yuling Sect into different categories and keeping them properly.

This can be said to be his harvest in the secret realm second only to the White Ape Demon Pill and spiritual herbs. Almost all of the inheritance of the Yuling Sect is contained in these tens of thousands of jade slips, which are enough to rebuild an ancient giant sect.

And this was just the beginning. Chen Yuan took out dozens of wooden boxes with spirit-sealing talismans on them, raised his sleeves, removed the talismans, and slowly opened the lids of the boxes, revealing all kinds of spiritual materials.

The training room was filled with spiritual light, rolling heat, surging tides, flashing lightning, and oppressive cold, as if there was a melee between thousands of troops.

Dozens of spiritual materials gathered together, and the energy in the training room immediately became chaotic.

Chen Yuan raised his hand and took a wooden box, picked up a jade slip beside him, and examined it carefully. He deliberately left a spiritual material illustration book just to identify these spiritual materials.

Two hours later, Chen Yuan put the last spiritual material into the mustard seed ring, and the space in front of him became empty.

Among these dozens of spiritual materials, half are top-grade spiritual materials, totaling twenty-seven.

The remaining forty-six are top-grade spiritual materials, but they were extremely precious in ancient times. Now, more than forty thousand years have passed, and their value is almost comparable to that of top-grade spiritual materials.

Among these seventy-three kinds of spiritual materials, there are five space spiritual materials and three thunder attribute spiritual materials. Chen Yuan stored them in his body space, ready to use them to refine magic weapons.

Then he took out all the jade bottles in the mustard seed ring and first opened the eight jade bottles made of thousand-year-old spiritual jade. Sure enough, there were Nascent Soul stage elixirs inside.

What surprised Chen Yuan was that among the eight bottles of elixirs there was actually a bottle of Black Bone Jade Muscle Cream, which was made from three thousand years old body-tempering spiritual herb, Frost Bone Jade Marrow Vine as the main ingredient.

Applying this ointment on the body will allow the cold air to enter the body, refining the marrow and tempering the body. It is also very effective for a level ten demon king.

However, what disappointed Chen Yuan a little was that there were no late Nascent Soul elixirs among the eight bottles of elixirs, only two bottles of middle Nascent Soul elixirs and three bottles of early Nascent Soul elixirs.

In addition, there are two bottles of the Yuling Sect's unique Heavenly Demon Blood Purification Pill, which can make the demon beast's bloodline purer. It is an important means for the Yuling Sect to cultivate spirit beasts, but it has many restrictions.

The other jade bottles contained elixirs below the Nascent Soul stage, mainly elixirs for cultivation, as well as spiritual pills for improving the spiritual power of monsters, blood-purifying pills for purifying the blood, and other rare elixirs.

The most valuable of them are two Golden Wind Jade Dew Pills and three Spirit Purification Pills that can resist the environment of inner demons. They can be classified as spiritual objects for forming infants.

But among these hundreds of bottles of pills, there is not a single pill that can withstand the heavenly thunder calamity.

It can be seen that among the three tribulations of the Nascent Soul, the tribulation of heavenly thunder is the most difficult.

……

The number of low-level cultivation resources in the mustard seed ring was too huge, so Chen Yuan just sorted them out roughly, had a general idea of ​​it, and then ignored it.

This time he entered the secret realm of the Yuling Sect. Although he was nearly possessed by a middle-aged scholar and the risk was extremely high, his gains were far greater than those of other cultivators.

The demon elixir and soul of the Demon King Lianxu, the inheritance of the Yuling Sect, most of the spiritual medicines on the Spiritual Medicine Peak, dozens of rare spiritual materials, and a huge amount of low-level cultivation resources, all fell into his hands.

The foundations of the ten slightly weaker sects may not be as profound as his.

This does not include the 329 top-grade spirit stones and hundreds of bottles of medicinal pills. The wealth of a great cultivator is far less than that.

But Chen Yuan was not very happy in his heart. These cultivation resources were enough to make any sect rise and allow a casual cultivator to cultivate to the late Nascent Soul stage without worries. But it was still far from enough to break through to the God Transformation stage.

It is easy to improve your cultivation, but if you want your physical body to break through the bottleneck of the Spirit Transformation, I don’t know how many body-tempering elixirs I will have to consume.

Breaking through the realm was even more difficult. He refined the true blood of Kuiniu, but the bottleneck of spiritual transformation did not completely disappear.

Do we really need to collect the essence of the five elements, transform into a five-element spiritual body, communicate with the great way of heaven and earth, and impact the realm of incarnation?

This is the secret method that is most suitable for Chen Yuan to break through, but when he thinks of the massive amount of five elements essence required for this method, he feels horrified.

Even if Chen Yuan took out all the top-grade spiritual materials, thousand-year-old spiritual herbs, and top-grade spiritual stones in his hands, he could not even get one-tenth of it.

And these are all the treasures left by the ancient great sect Yuling Sect. If one really wants to collect all the five elements of essence, how many of the ten major sects will be left?
Chen Yuan shook his head slightly and temporarily suppressed this thought.

He looked inward at his body, and his consciousness entered his dantian.

Above the sea of ​​true energy, Chen Yuan's Nascent Soul was sitting cross-legged in meditation. His cold and indifferent eyes suddenly revealed some spirit.

After a while, the middle-aged scholar who was regulating his breathing with his eyes closed opened his eyes and stood up in the sea of ​​thunder and fire.

He looked at Chen Yuan's Nascent Soul, which was only three inches in size, and said with a smile, "Daoyou, have you prepared the eight hundred year old spiritual herbs?"

Chen Yuan nodded slightly: "Yes, as long as the demon king answers one of my questions, I will immediately offer the spiritual herbs."

The middle-aged scholar frowned, and the smile on his face slowly faded: "I have already told you the truth about the art of gentle breeze and rain, are you going to go back on your word?"

Chen Yuan said: "The Demon King has misunderstood. I just have a small matter that I want to verify with the Demon King. I will offer the spiritual herbs to you later."

The middle-aged scholar stared at Chen Yuan and said, "Fellow Daoist, please speak. But if you delay any longer, my soul will dissipate and you will never know the location of the spatial passage leading to the Burning Demon Realm."

Chen Yuan did not comment, and asked: "In the space channel, do we need space beacons to guide the direction?"

The middle-aged scholar was stunned: "Why do you suddenly ask about this, fellow Taoist?"

Chen Yuan said: "After Chen got the promise from the demon king, he naturally had to check it out."

"These past few days, Chen asked a fellow Taoist about the space channel."

"He told Chen that if he wanted to pass through the space channel, he needed a sign to guide the direction, otherwise he would get lost. May I ask the demon king, is that true or not?"

The middle-aged scholar pondered for a moment and nodded slowly: "Yes, if you want to pass through the space channel, you must have a space sign as a guide."

Chen Yuan frowned: "If it is a naturally generated space channel, does it also need a signpost to guide it?"

The middle-aged scholar shook his head and said: If it is a naturally generated space channel, the two worlds are connected, and the direction can be identified without the guidance of the signpost. "

Chen Yuan's eyes flashed: "Thank you for your guidance, Demon King."

After saying this, he slowly closed his eyes and never mentioned the spiritual herbs again.

The middle-aged scholar quickly reminded him: "Daoyou, the spiritual herbs that nourish the soul..."

Chen Yuan's Nascent Soul opened his eyes again and said calmly, "After thinking it over, I still feel that letting the demon king nurture his soul is too risky."

"Regarding the spiritual herbs, Chen can only break his promise. I hope the demon king will forgive me."

The middle-aged scholar's expression changed: "Daoyou went back on your word, don't you want to ascend to the upper realm?"

“Without my guidance, even if you break through to the Spiritual Transformation Realm, you will still be trapped in this world, watching your life slip away and dying in this cage!”

Chen Yuan's Yuanying smiled slightly, ignored the middle-aged scholar, and closed his eyes.

When he opened his eyes again, his gaze was cold and indifferent.

The middle-aged scholar's expression darkened, and he squeezed out a few words from between his teeth: "Shameless young man!" (End of this chapter)
