Nine Transformations of the True Spirit.

Chapter 683 Secret Technique
Old Demon Ren stared at Chen Yuan without saying a word, and the air suddenly became extremely heavy.

Chen Yuan stood with his head bowed, looking respectful but without any fear on his face.

Suddenly, Ren Lao Mo turned around, walked out with a flick of his sleeves, and said coldly: "Let me see the Kunpeng blood you refined."

Chen Yuan felt relieved. Although he knew that Qin Wuya would stand up for him, he couldn't help feeling a little nervous when facing the threat from a Divine Transformation cultivator.

Qin Wuya stood up and said, "Please ask Xiaoyou Chen to demonstrate it to Daoyou Ren."

"Junior obeys your command." Chen Yuan responded respectfully, and bowed to the young monk with a fist, apologetically, "Junior has not yet greeted Senior Lu..."

The young monk smiled and said, "No problem."

This Senior Lu looked to be only seventeen or eighteen years old, with red lips, white teeth, and a handsome face, like a teenager. He looked even younger than Chen Yuan.

After a cultivator has established his foundation, the rate at which his appearance ages will be greatly slowed down.

Chen Yuan’s aptitude was too poor. He wasted nearly twenty years in the Qi Refining Stage. By the time he was building his foundation, he was already in his thirties.

He had never taken any anti-aging pills, and was able to maintain his appearance at around 20 years old. This was because before he established his foundation, he had been infusing his body with starlight for many years, which filled his body with vitality.

This Senior Lu is clearly just a casual cultivator, yet he looks so young.

Either they were still young when they established their foundation, or they took anti-aging elixirs when they were young, which is extremely rare.

Several people walked out of the bamboo forest and came to the shore.

Just like getting angry, Qin Wuya locked the space of this world, and Chen Yuan activated Kunpeng's true blood and performed the art of teleportation.

Now that his cultivation has broken through and his body has become stronger, it has become much easier for him to perform the teleportation technique.

In just fifteen breaths, Chen Yuan successfully performed the teleportation technique and flashed to a place five hundred feet away.

Old Demon Ren and Senior Lu were well prepared. When they saw Chen Yuan perform the teleportation technique, they just nodded slightly and were not surprised at all.

On the contrary, Taoist Cangsong, who had already seen it once, showed some joy on his face.

Senior Lu noticed that Taoist Cangsong's expression changed, and asked, "You two Taoist friends told me about young friend Chen. Why are you so happy today?"

Taoist Cangsong stroked his beard and smiled: "Fellow Daoist Lu, you don't know that the last time Young Master Chen demonstrated this teleportation technique, it took him thirty breaths to perform it, and he could only teleport to a distance of a hundred feet."

"In just ten years, his control over the power of space has improved so much."

"After he becomes a god, it won't be difficult for him to replace the space beacon and identify the direction of the spirit world."

Senior Lu suddenly realized that a gleam of light flashed in the cold eyes of Ren Lao Mo.

Chen Yuan folded his black wings behind him, restrained his aura, and said respectfully: "Since I have received the entrustment from the seniors, I dare not slack off for a single day. I only hope to become a god as soon as possible and help the four seniors ascend to the spirit world."

Upon hearing this, except for Ren Lao Mo, the other three nodded slightly and smiled.

They have already stood at the top of the human world, and all they want is to ascend to the spiritual world.

Chen Yuan's words hit the mark exactly what they wanted.

Qin Wuya said: "This is not the place to talk, let's go inside and talk."

Several people followed him back to the bamboo building and sat down as host and guest. Chen Yuan took the initiative to step aside and stood aside.

But Qin Wuya said, "Friend Chen, one day you will achieve the state of a god, and you will be able to sit at the same table with us."

Taoist Cangsong stroked his beard and smiled, "Daoyou Qin is right. Please take a seat, young friend."

Chen Yuan showed hesitation and looked at Elder Ren and Senior Lu.

Although the four people had requests for his help, he was ultimately just a Nascent Soul cultivator.

According to the conventions of the immortal cultivation world, low-level cultivators can only sit with high-level cultivators with their consent.

Otherwise, it would be considered disrespectful and you deserve to be killed by high-level monks.

This is the cruelty of the world of immortal cultivation. Although both low-level cultivators and high-level cultivators are cultivated from mortals, there is a world of difference in their strength.

Low-level cultivators can only be cautious in front of high-level cultivators. If they are not careful, they will die.

As for mortals, they are no different from ants in the eyes of cultivators.

If it weren't for the fact that monks needed to cultivate from mortals, the major sects would have intentionally protected the reproduction of mortals in order to pass on their Taoist traditions, but they would have been slaughtered by the monks long ago.

Of course, Chen Yuan doesn't have to worry about being killed by the two men, but since the old demon Ren has a sinister temperament, it is better to be cautious and not give him an excuse to embarrass him.

Senior Lu smiled slightly and said, "Young friend Chen, there is no need to be so polite."

Ren Lao Mo nodded, his expression still cold.

Chen Yuan then sat down next to the bamboo table. Fortunately, the table was quite large, so five people sitting around it did not feel cramped.

According to the etiquette of entertaining guests, several people should sit at separate tables.

But except for Chen Yuan, all the people present are Divine Transformation cultivators, and there are no etiquette in the human world that can restrain them.

Qin Wuya took out a teapot and teacup, poured Qingming Dew for the few people, and then said: "Friend Chen came out of retreat today, so Qin invited the three Taoist friends to have a chat."

"Friend Chen, this is the Xuanyin Sect's Grand Elder Ren Youming, and this is Lu Wangquan..."

Chen Yuan greeted the two men in turn. Ren Lao Mo remained indifferent, but his eyes kept wandering around him.

Lu Wangquan raised his sleeves and a jade bottle and five wooden boxes appeared out of thin air on the bamboo table and slowly slid in front of Chen Yuan.

He smiled and said, "Lu has traveled all over the Nine Immortal Continents and found four Golden Yang Pills, one three thousand year old spiritual herb, and four thousand year old spiritual herbs. I will help you, my friend, to reach the level of a spirit."

Chen Yuan showed a look of joy, clasped his fists and bowed: "Thank you for the reward, senior."

Without even looking at it, he put the jade bottle and wooden box into the mustard seed ring.

Jin Yang Dan is a late Nascent Soul elixir. Although the six spiritual herbs have not been examined yet, since they were specially collected by Lu Wangquan, they must be extraordinary and should be able to be put together to make a furnace of elixirs.

Taoist Cangsong raised his sleeves and a jade bottle and nine wooden boxes appeared on the bamboo table and slid in front of Chen Yuan.

There was a hint of reluctance in his eyes: "It is hard to find elixirs for the late Nascent Soul stage, so I used Na Yuan Dan, Mu Xuan Dan, and Qing Yin Dan to make a bottle."

"There are also two three thousand year old spiritual herbs and seven thousand year old spiritual herbs. We can refine two furnaces of elixirs."

Chen Yuan also clasped his fists in thanks and put away the jade bottle and wooden box.

The three thousand year old spiritual herb was too precious, and even Taoist Cangsong could only take out two.

Only in the secret realm of the Yuling Sect, which has not been opened for tens of thousands of years, can one find more than a dozen three thousand year old spiritual herbs.

The elixir of the late Nascent Soul stage is even more difficult to obtain. Great cultivators will refine it when they get it, and it is rarely circulated in the world of immortal cultivation. Taoist Cangsong, as a spiritual cultivator and the supreme elder of Shaoxuan Sect, could only barely scrape together a bottle.

Several people's eyes fell on Ren Lao Mo. He raised his sleeves and flicked them. A jade bottle and four wooden boxes appeared out of thin air on the bamboo table. He said calmly: "These are three Xuanyou pills, one three thousand year old spiritual herb, and three thousand year old spiritual herbs. I will give them to you today."

Taoist Cangsong frowned and said, "Friend Chen must break through to the Spiritual Transformation stage within a hundred years. Daoist Ren only brought out these things, which is too little."

Qin Wuya and Lu Wangquan's faces were not looking good either. The Xuanyin Sect was the leader of the evil sect and dominated Xizhou. For tens of thousands of years, its reputation was comparable to that of the Taiming Sect. However, they only produced three pills and four spiritual herbs, which was too perfunctory.

Ren Lao Mo glanced at Taoist Cangsong and said calmly, "Before I went into seclusion, I used up a lot of spiritual herbs, and these are all I have."

"Ren Mou observes that friend Chen's cultivation is not far from the peak of the late Nascent Soul stage. Refining these pills should be enough to cultivate to the peak of the late Nascent Soul stage and reach the bottleneck of the Spiritualization stage."

Taoist Cangsong's eyes flashed with sarcasm: "This is a coincidence..."

Lu Wangquan is just a casual cultivator, so it would be fine if the number of spiritual herbs and elixirs he took out was smaller.

But the old demon Ren was not even as good as Lu Wangquan, which made Taoist Cangsong, who had pieced together a bottle of elixir, very angry.

But since Ren Lao Mo had already started to explain, he couldn't continue to be aggressive, but he did not hide the displeasure on his face at all.

Qin Wuya glanced at the jade bottle and wooden box on the bamboo table, frowning slightly: "Friend Chen has refined the blood of the true spirit, and the true essence in his body is thick and pure. I'm afraid these pills can't help him cultivate to the peak of the late Nascent Soul stage."

He raised his eyes and looked at Chen Yuan: "My friend, improving your cultivation is only the first step. The bottleneck of transformation is the real difficulty. I don't know how long it will take."

"How about letting me refine the spiritual herbs into pills? The success rate will be higher.

Several people looked at Chen Yuan at the same time. He hesitated for a moment and shook his head slightly: "Senior Qin, I appreciate your kindness."

“But even if Senior Qin took action himself and refined the spiritual herbs that the three seniors gave me into elixirs, it would not allow me to reach the threshold of the Spiritual Transformation.”

Qin Wuya's eyes flashed: "What do you mean, my friend?"

Taoist Cangsong's eyes flashed with coldness: "Five bottles of late Nascent Soul elixir are not enough for you to improve your cultivation to the peak of the late Nascent Soul?"

Taoist Cangsong took out the most spiritual herbs and elixirs. He was already unhappy, and then Demon Ren was perfunctory about it. Even Chen Yuan dared to ask for a high price, which made him extremely unhappy.

Chen Yuan did not explain, but took out a jade slip, presented it with both hands, and said respectfully: "I have a secret technique in my hands, please take a look at it, four seniors."

The four of them didn't expect Chen Yuan to do this, and they were all stunned.

Qin Wuya was the first to react. He raised his hand to take the jade slip into his hand and probed his spiritual sense into it.

Suddenly, Qin Wuya's expression changed slightly. He looked at Chen Yuan again, with a hint of surprise in his eyes, and then he lowered his head to look at the jade slip again.

The other three people saw this and showed some curiosity in their eyes, even Ren Lao Mo was no exception.

How mysterious was the "secret technique" that Chen Yuan mentioned that made Qin Wuya lose his composure like this?

After a while, Qin Wuya looked up at Chen Yuan and asked, "Where did you get this secret technique, young man?"

Chen Yuan said respectfully: "I have inherited the legacy of an alchemist in Yuqinghai, and this secret technique is among them."

Qin Wuya nodded slightly and handed the jade slip to Taoist Cangsong beside him.

Taoist Cangsong took the jade slip and immediately probed into his spiritual consciousness, his expression suddenly changed.

Seeing this, Lu Wangquan and Ren Laomo, who were standing by, looked even more confused.

After a long while, Taoist Cangsong withdrew his consciousness and looked at Chen Yuan deeply: "Young friend Chen actually has such a secret technique in his hands. It really opens my eyes."

He handed the jade slip to Lu Wangquan who was standing beside him. The latter probed into it with his spiritual sense and his expression changed slightly, but not as out of control as Taoist Cangsong.

After a moment, he withdrew his consciousness and nodded slightly: "This secret technique is indeed mysterious..."

He handed the jade slip to Ren Lao Mo, who was already getting a little impatient. He snorted coldly and probed his spiritual sense into the jade slip.

The next moment, Ren Lao Mo's pupils shrank and an expression of disbelief appeared on his cold face.

He retracted his consciousness and stared at Chen Yuan closely: "Can this secret technique really refine the demon pill into a medicinal pill and improve my cultivation?"

Chen Yuan said sternly: "How dare I deceive you seniors? This is an eighth-level demon essence pill. Please take a look at it."

As he spoke, he took out a jade bottle and presented it with both hands.

Taoist Cangsong immediately raised his hand and took the jade bottle into his hand, poured out a pill, held it in his hand, and looked at it carefully.

After a while, he raised his head and looked at Chen Yuan, frowning: "What is the difference between this pill and ordinary pills? How can it have a trace of demonic energy left in it as recorded in the secret method?"

Chen Yuan looked troubled, and Lu Wangquan said, "Don't worry, Daoist Cangsong. Let's ask Daoist Qin to take a look. Maybe he can see some clues."

When Taoist Cangsong heard this, a hint of embarrassment flashed across his eyes, and he handed the pill to Qin Wuya who was standing beside him.

Qin Wuya took the demon pill and examined it carefully.

In less than a moment, he nodded: "This pill is just as the secret method records, there is a very faint trace of demonic energy left, it should be made from an eighth-level demonic pill. But if you are not an alchemist and have not mastered the secret method of alchemy, it is very difficult to see."

He raised his head and looked at Chen Yuan: "Young friend Chen, did you take out this secret technique to refine a pill with the tenth-level demon pill to improve your cultivation?"

Chen Yuan took a deep breath and said, "I dare not deceive you seniors. After obtaining the secret technique of the Demon Yuan Pill, in addition to refining pills with spiritual herbs, I have been hunting monsters to obtain pills and improve my cultivation over the years."

"He also took advantage of the weak bottleneck of physical cultivation, so he was able to raise his cultivation to the late Nascent Soul stage within a hundred years of forming the Nascent Soul."

"If you want to improve your cultivation, you still need to refine the demon pill into a pill."

Taoist Cangsong frowned and said, "My friend, you got five three thousand year old spiritual herbs from the ancient secret realm, and Fellow Daoist Qin gave you two more. You can at least make seven furnaces of elixirs."

"The spiritual herbs we gave you today can make four furnaces, and there are nearly two bottles of elixirs. Isn't it enough for you to improve your cultivation to the peak of the late Nascent Soul stage?"

Chen Yuan smiled bitterly: "After I refined the blood of the True Spirit, it is indeed as Senior Qin said. The True Essence in my body is purer and richer than that of the cultivators of the same level, and I need a lot more elixirs."

“In addition to the seven furnaces of spiritual herbs, this junior also refined three level 10 demon pills into elixirs. After refining them all, I was able to push my cultivation to this level.”

"If I want to raise my cultivation to the peak of the late Nascent Soul stage, even if I take into account what the three seniors have given me today, I will at least need... at least ten bottles of late Nascent Soul pills."

The bamboo building fell silent. There was no sound at all, only the rustling of bamboo leaves in the breeze.

Taoist Cangsong stared at Chen Yuan and said word by word: "Ten bottles of late Nascent Soul elixir... I have already used all my strength to gather a bottle of elixir and two furnaces of spiritual herbs for you. You still want ten bottles?"

Chen Yuan sighed: "This junior also knows that the three thousand year old spiritual herbs are extremely precious, so he took out this secret technique of the demon essence pill."

“As long as there is a level 10 demon pill, I can refine it into a pill and improve my cultivation.”

"Otherwise, you can only absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth bit by bit, and it will take an unknown amount of time before you can reach the threshold of becoming a god."
