Nine Transformations of the True Spirit

The city of Xuedaofang was bustling with people and monks were constantly coming and going. Chen Yuan had been in and out of Xuedao many times and knew the place well. He turned around a few streets and came to a splendid shop.

This shop is called "Ming Qing Tang". Behind it is a medium-sized sect. It occupies a very large area and the interior decoration is extravagant. In this market where every inch of land is at a premium, it shows its strong financial resources.

Chen Yuan pressed down his bamboo hat and stepped inside. A young female cultivator at the tenth level of Qi Refining came up to him and said with a smile: "This fellow Taoist..."

"Take me to see the person in charge of your hall." Chen Yuan didn't want to waste time, he breathed away as soon as he released it, his voice was old and low.

The coercion of the monks in the early stage of pill formation caused the young female cultivator's complexion to change, and she bowed in a panic: "Senior, please follow me."

Chen Yuan followed the young female cultivator and came to a quiet room. A middle-aged beautiful woman was already waiting here, and her Qi in the early stages of pill formation was clearly revealed.

The Zhengqi Alliance can allow the foundation-building deacons to do business with the elders of the Keqing in the pill-forming stage, but ordinary shops do not have such confidence and can only ask the pill-forming monks to come forward.

After seeing the ceremony, the two sat down. Chen Yuan still wore the bamboo hat. The middle-aged beautiful woman didn't mind and said softly: "I am Yanrou, what kind of business does this fellow Taoist want to do with me?"

Chen Yuan's head hung slightly, half of his face hidden under the bamboo hat: "Can your hall accept monster materials?"

The beautiful woman smiled and said, "Fellow Taoist, you want to sell monster materials? I will charge you as much as you can. The price will definitely satisfy you, Taoist."

Chen Yuan nodded slightly: "Fellow Taoist, please take a look."

He raised his sleeve and flicked it, and a storage bag slowly flew towards the beautiful middle-aged woman.

A strange look flashed in the middle-aged beautiful woman's eyes. The storage bag that Chen Yuan took out was of inferior quality. It was commonly used by foundation-building monks, but it was beneath the dignity of being placed in the hands of a pill-forming monk.

But her face was calm, she took the storage bag very naturally, and looked inside with her consciousness.

After a moment, the middle-aged beautiful woman withdrew her consciousness, and the smile on her face became thicker: "The monster materials in this storage bag should come from seven fifth-level monsters, and are completely preserved. I am willing to pay 35 yuan for high-grade monsters." Lingshi, I wonder what your friendship is like?”

"Yes." Chen Yuan cherished his words like gold.

The trading volume of monster materials in Xuedaofang City is huge and the prices are transparent.

Although the price was slightly lower than Chen Yuan expected, it was quite fair. The price difference of one or two spiritual stones was not worth bargaining with a middle-aged beautiful woman.

The middle-aged beautiful woman was in a good mood when she saw that Chen Yuan was so happy. She immediately ordered someone to fetch thirty-five high-grade spiritual stones and gave them to Chen Yuan.

After Chen Yuan left Ming Qingtang, he directly drove away from the Blood Island with the light. After escaping for dozens of miles, he changed his clothes in a deserted place, put on a wooden mask, and then turned around.

This time, he traded in a different shop and exchanged materials from seven or eight monster beasts for thirty-eight high-grade spiritual stones.

In the next two days, Chen Yuan sold monster materials several times and sold nearly half of the monster materials he had.

In every transaction, he always covered his face, and his Qi was sometimes in the middle stage of pill formation, and sometimes lowered to the early stage of pill formation. His voice also changed several times, and he never used his original voice to talk to people, so he was extremely careful.

But even so, he decisively stopped after selling monster materials for three consecutive days.

The city of Xuedaofang is very large, but the flow of materials from dozens of level five monsters into the market in a very short period of time will still cause turbulence in the market and inevitably attract the attention of interested people.

When Chen Yuan sold monster materials on the last day, the price was already one or two pieces of high-grade spiritual stones lower than the previous two days.

The Danjie monk who was doing business with him would also make insinuations and ask if he had more monster materials in his hand, saying that he would eat them all. It was obvious that he was suspected of being the person who had been shipping a lot of goods in the market in the past two days.

In this case, Chen Yuan could only postpone the sale of monster materials to avoid attracting others to investigate.

He practiced in the cave for two days, and when he came to Wei Changhong's residence, his spiritual consciousness came out, landed on the formation screen, and sent a message: "Fellow Daoist Wei, Chen Yuan is here to visit."

After a while, Wei Changhong pushed the door open and said with a smile: "Fellow Taoist Chen came at just the right time. A good friend of mine happened to be a guest at my house today, and I just wanted to introduce him to you."

Chen Yuan's eyes flashed and he said with a smile: "Then I'll trouble you, Fellow Daoist Wei."

The two walked into the main hall, and an old man sitting on the Grand Master's chair slowly stood up and nodded to Chen Yuan.

When Chen Yuan saw this man, his heart trembled, but there was nothing strange on his face. He just nodded and smiled at the old man.

Wei Changhong smiled and said: "Fellow Daoist Chen, this is Brother Lu Guilu, the head of the Lu family on the Wuchen Island in the Qingliu Sea. He has profound cultivation and is one step ahead of you and me on the road to immortality."

"Brother Lu, this is Chen Yuan, Daoyou Chen, the elder of the guest minister of the Zhengqi Alliance. I hit it off with him and we have a very good relationship."

Chen Yuan looked at the old man opposite, smiled slightly, and bowed his hands: "Fellow Daoist Lu, please be polite."

Lu Hui returned the gift and looked at Chen Yuan carefully: "You are so polite, Fellow Taoist Chen. I think Fellow Taoist looks familiar to me. Have you been to Wuchen Island?"

Chen Yuan shook his head: "Chen has been hunting monsters in the Mo Sea and has never been to the Qingliu Sea."

Lu Gui said calmly: "It seems that I remembered it wrong. I have lived longer and have met more monks. It is inevitable that there will be confusion. Please forgive me, Fellow Daoist Chen."

Chen Yuan smiled and said: "It doesn't matter."

Wei Changhong looked at Lu Gui and then at Chen Yuan, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, but he didn't ask anything and just asked them to sit down.

The three of them were seated separately. Chen Yuan raised his sleeves and nine pieces of middle-grade spiritual stones slowly flew towards Wei Changhong: "Fellow Daoist Wei, this is the rent I owe to the cave. Please accept it."

Wei Changhong caught the spirit stone and said with a smile: "Fellow Daoist Chen is interested."

He casually glanced at the spirit stone in his hand, then put it into the mustard seed ring, and then turned to look at Lu Gui: "Brother Lu, fellow Daoist Chen is on the same level as me, and he has been hunting monsters in the Sea of ​​Ten Thousand Monsters all year round. I’m very familiar with it. You can ask Fellow Daoist Chen for advice on what you just said.”

Lu Gui said calmly: "I won't bother Taoist Chen with some minor matters."

Wei Changhong was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Okay, it's me, Meng Lang. Come, Fellow Daoist Chen, Brother Lu, please have tea..."

He raised his sleeve and flicked it, and the teacup on the table slowly slid towards the two of them.

Lu Gui took the tea cup and sipped it gently.

Chen Yuan didn't seem to understand the meaning of Lu Gui's words at all. He took the tea cup with a smile and tasted it carefully.

Under Wei Changhong's guidance, the three of them talked about their experiences and experiences in cultivating immortals, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

On Chen Yuan's face, everything was normal, but in his heart, his thoughts were surging.

He didn't expect to see Lu Gui here at all.

However, the Lu family is an affiliated family of Zhenhaizong, and Wei Changhong is an elder of Zhenhaizong, so it is normal for the two to know each other.

Chen Yuan carefully recalled his actions on Wuchen Island, and confirmed that there were no flaws, nor had he revealed his true appearance in front of the Lu family monks, and he slowly felt relieved.

Before he entered the Lu family, he deliberately left a huge scar on his face. He controlled the power of his body and did not repair it, completely destroying his appearance. He should be able to hide it from Lu Gui.

But after all, he made a big fuss in the Lu family, and he felt a little guilty, so he got up and left after an hour.

Wei Changhong tried to persuade him to stay, but he was very determined to leave and insisted on leaving.

In desperation, Wei Changhong had to get up and see him off, and Lu Gui followed him.

After walking out of the small courtyard, Chen Yuan extended his hands to the two of them and said, "Two Taoist friends, please stay. If you have time in the future, Chen will have tea and discuss Taoism with these two Taoist friends."

After that, he took up the escape light and flew towards the cave.

He flew not far away, suddenly paused, then turned back and flew away from the Blood Island.

After Chen Yuan left, Lu Gui also said goodbye: "Friend Wei, Lu suddenly remembered that there is still a trivial matter to deal with, so I will take my leave."

Wei Changhong's eyes flashed and he gave Lu Gui a meaningful look: "In that case, then I won't keep Brother Lu."

Lu Gui bowed his hands and flew away.

Wei Changhong looked at Lu Gui's back, his eyes flickering.

…

After Lu Gui left the Blood Island, he dispersed his consciousness and flew dozens of miles, and his escape speed finally slowed down.

Opposite him, Chen Yuan stood suspended in the air with a calm expression and a hint of caution in his eyes.

Lu Gui stared at Chen Yuan: "Should I call you Fellow Daoist Chen or Fellow Daoist Ziyang?"

Chen Yuan did not answer, but asked: "How did Fellow Daoist Lu find out my identity?"

When he was leaving just now, he received a message from Lu Gui, revealing his identity as a Taoist Ziyang and asking him to meet outside the Blood Island.

Chen Yuan was surprised when Lu Gui discovered his identity, but he was not afraid of the Lu family before, and now he had no fear at all, so he came to the appointment immediately.

Lu Guidao: "Although you have changed your appearance, your energy has not changed."

"And I happen to have learned a little skill, I can identify people's vitality. As long as I meet people, I will never forget them."

Chen Yuan suddenly understood, nodded and said: "I see, Fellow Daoist Lu summoned me here, what's the important matter?"

Lu Gui sneered: "You sneaked into the Lu family, stole the inheritance of the old man Dan Jue, and formed a big feud with my Lu family. What do you think I want?"

Chen Yuandao: "Fellow Daoist Lu, what you said is wrong. The inheritance of old man Dan Jue is not the property of the Lu family, so why should it be stolen?"

"And I only took away the inheritance and left the space magic weapon to the Lu family. I did not harm the lives of the monks of the Lu family. I have no grudge against the Lu family."

"And in my opinion, Taoist friends don't have any intention of seeking revenge, so why should they lie to each other?"

Lu Gui suddenly calmed down and stared at Chen Yuan: "How did you see that I have no intention of seeking revenge?"

Chen Yuan said: "If Fellow Daoist Lu wanted to seek revenge, how could he conceal my sneaking into the Lu family?"

"Over the years, I have been paying attention to the news about the Lu family, but the Lu family has never exposed any news about me. Unless my fellow Taoist has no intention of seeking revenge, there will be no second explanation."

Lu Gui fell silent, and after a while, he slowly said: "You guessed it right. Although I deeply hate you for taking away the inheritance of old man Dan Jue, I don't want to offend an alchemy master, let alone an extraordinary physical practitioner. ”

Chen Yuan said: "Then why did fellow Taoist Lu call me here?"

Lu Gui stared at Chen Yuan: "First answer my question, who are you? I have collected information about Wang Lin, and the magic weapon you use is completely different from his."

Chen Yuan smiled slightly: "When did I say that I was Wang Lin?" (End of Chapter)
