Nine Transformations of the True Spirit

Chapter 298 Fulong Chizhen Teng



In the silent cave, the array screen flickered with a faint blue light. Chen Yuan stood in mid-air, looking down at Jing Shuhan in the array, his tone cold.

Jing Shuhan blinked, brushed a few strands of hair behind her ears, and smiled gently: "Don't worry, fellow Daoist Chen. I have been running away from Qi Lang's pursuit, and my true essence has been exhausted. I am panicked and can't calm down. Can I meditate for a while to recover my true essence, and then tell you about this in detail?"

Chen Yuan frowned: "I'll give you two hours."

Jing Shuhan smiled and saluted Chen Yuan. She raised her hand and took back the array flag stuck in the ground, put it on the mustard ring, and the array screen slowly dissipated.

She sat cross-legged on the ground calmly, took out two high-grade spirit stones, held them in her hands, facing the sky, and closed her eyes to meditate.

Seeing her defenseless appearance, Chen Yuan's expression relaxed slightly, and he landed on the ground, sitting cross-legged ten feet away from Jing Shuhan, and took a healing pill to treat the injury on his left arm.

But his consciousness was always on Jing Shuhan, and he would be aware of any action she took.

Half an hour later, Chen Yuan's injuries were completely healed, and Jing Shuhan was still absorbing the spiritual energy from the spirit stone to restore her true essence.

Chen Yuan was relieved, leaving only part of his consciousness to monitor Jing Shuhan and look inside himself.

In the Dantian, the spiritual light of the Yuan Tu armor was dim, and a crack on the back was very conspicuous. It was slowly rotating around the golden elixir, absorbing the true essence of the true essence in the sea of ​​true essence below.

That sword was Qi Lang's last resort. The sword light was united, simplifying the complex, and then integrated into the essence and blood, connected with the blood-colored giant sword's heart and blood. A sword heart was placed on it, and everything could be cut.

More than a hundred years ago, there was a level 7 green dragon that stirred up trouble in the beast tide and devoured seven or eight Jindan cultivators. No one could stop it and it acted recklessly.

Qi Lang had just broken through the bottleneck of the late Jindan stage and was stationed on the Blood Island. Upon hearing about this, he and his fellow disciples went deep into the beast tide and cut the green dragon in two in one battle.

An elder of the Zhenhai Sect traveled with Qi Lang and witnessed the battle with his own eyes.

After the beast tide ended, he spread the news that Qi Lang had cut the green dragon with a sword to promote the name of the Zhenhai Sect, saying that he had used this technique in the end, and the sword light was like blood, and the green dragon would die when it saw it.

Although these words are exaggerated, Qi Lang's power to cut the monster beast royal family is true.

From then on, Qi Lang's name spread throughout Yuqing Sea, and some people called him the second sword cultivator in Yuqing Sea.

The sword cultivators in Yuqing Sea declined, and there was only one sword cultivator in the early Yuanying stage.

Qi Lang has the cultivation base of the late Jindan period, and his strength is extraordinary. He is also an elder of the Zhenhai Sect, so no one doubts his title.

His sword is very powerful. Fortunately, Yuanluo Armor is the top among the intermediate magic weapons, so it barely blocked Qi Lang's sword and did not break in half.

But this treasure was so severely damaged that it must be repaired and nurtured for several years before it can be used again in the battle. It can't be counted on in Jueling Island.

Chen Yuan shook his head, retracted his consciousness, raised his right hand, and Binghuan slowly appeared.

Although Binghuan blocked the remaining power of the sword, it was also damaged. Fortunately, it was not very obvious. It was just that the spiritual light was a little dim. After a few days of nurturing, it can be restored to its original state.

After using two intermediate magic weapons in succession, Chen Yuan was still injured by the sword energy and his right arm was severely injured.

If it were other Jindan cultivators, without two top intermediate magic weapons to protect themselves, they would not be body cultivators, and they would only die under this sword.

The sword cultivators are unparalleled in attack. Even if a physical cultivator encounters them, if he does not have a magic weapon and his body is not strong enough, he will not be able to get any advantage.

Chen Yuan took out Qi Lang's mustard ring from his arms and probed into it with his spiritual sense. A sharp spiritual sense like a sword pierced and strangled Chen Yuan's spiritual sense.

Chen Yuan continued to send in his spiritual sense. It took him a quarter of an hour to finally wipe out the spiritual sense imprint on the mustard ring.

Sword cultivators are not only powerful, but also extremely condensed. If it were an ordinary cultivator, the spiritual sense imprint left in the mustard ring would be very loose and could be broken in a few dozen breaths.

Chen Yuan probed into the mustard ring with his spiritual sense, and a smile appeared on his lips after a sweep.

Qi Lang was difficult to deal with. His only magic weapon, the natal flying sword, also collapsed on its own, but he was also very wealthy.

In the mustard ring, there was a small pile of high-quality spirit stones. Chen Yuan counted them and found that there were more than 400 pieces.

Next to it were several medium-grade spiritual materials and a dozen five-hundred-year-old spiritual herbs, as well as thirteen wooden boxes with spiritual sealing talismans attached.

The spiritual herbs and high-grade spiritual materials that Qi Lang could treat so carefully must be at least eight-hundred-year-old spiritual herbs and high-grade spiritual materials.

In addition, there were three jade bottles made of one-hundred-year-old spiritual jade, and the elixirs inside were definitely not ordinary.

In the corner of the mustard ring, there were also several jade slips, shining with spiritual light.

Chen Yuan's mind moved, and he took out five jade slips from the mustard ring.

In front of Jing Shuhan, it was not easy to check other things for the time being, but the jade slips were fine.

Chen Yuan's spiritual sense spread out, and after checking the five jade slips one by one, he was slightly disappointed and put them into his mustard ring.

These five jade slips were not valuable. One of them recorded the inheritance of sword cultivation, but it only reached the middle stage of Jindan, which was obviously not Qi Lang's own cultivation method.

Among the remaining four jade slips, two of them recorded the magical powers of sword cultivation, and the other two were maps of the Ice and Fire Realm and the second trial of the Wind and Thunder Sea.

Sword cultivation magical power is very rare, but there are even fewer cultivators with sword cultivation qualifications.

That inheritance can only be cultivated to the middle stage of Jindan at most, and the two sword cultivation magical powers are only suitable for Jindan cultivators. They are not very powerful and their value is not too high.

The two maps are not very useful. Chen Yuan has the memory of Master Qingyou, and his understanding of Jueling Island is no less than Qi Lang.

The Wentian Sect was destroyed within a thousand years, but in the previous thousands of years, Jueling Island had been explored extensively by the three major sects at that time, and even the maps were almost the same.

Chen Yuan put Qi Lang's mustard seed ring back into his arms, closed his eyes and meditated.

After another half an hour, Jing Shuhan slowly opened his eyes and stood up from the ground.

The high-grade spiritual stone in her hand turned into powder, and her pale face became much rosier, and she looked full of energy.

When she stood up, Chen Yuan also stood up.

He stepped a little closer, came to Jing Shuhan, and asked, "Fairy should be able to speak now, right?"

Jing Shuhan smiled and said, "If I tell you, will fellow Taoists kill me?"

Chen Yuan frowned: "Is the fairy going to go back on her word?"

Jing Shuhan smiled softly: "I'm just a little worried. After all, fellow Taoist has a close relationship with Ancestor Yuntian. I definitely don't want him to know that you killed Qi Lang. Silencing is the best option."

"If I tell the truth, can fellow Taoist promise not to kill me?"

Chen Yuan's eyes turned cold: "My agreement with you is to save your life from Qi Lang, don't push it too far!"

He raised his hand to grab it, and the Feiyun Sword appeared out of thin air. It made a clear sword cry, shot towards Jing Shuhan, and stopped in front of her neck.

The sword energy blew out slightly, ruffling her hair and leaving a bright red blood spot on her white throat.

"I am the most threatened person. If you tell me now, I might spare your life. If you don't tell me, even if the attempt is in vain, I will not hold back at all!" Chen Yuan said.

Jing Shuhan's body stiffened slightly, but she soon relaxed. Without looking at Feiyun Sword, she smiled and said, "Fellow Taoist said that he cannot be threatened. Didn't Ancestor Yuntian ever coerce fellow Taoist to work for him?"

Chen Yuan said: "He is a Nascent Soul cultivator. The situation forces me to obey, but you are not. Did you say it or not?"

With a thought in his mind, Feiyun Sword was passed forward, and the tip of the sword was pressed against Jing Shuhan's throat.

Jing Shuhan's beautiful eyes flashed, and the smile on his face became stronger: "What Taoist friends are worried about is that I will publicize this matter and spread it to the ears of Patriarch Yuntian, which will be detrimental to Taoist friends, but please rest assured, Taoist friends, I won't do that."

Chen Yuan frowned: "You are the disciple of Old Ghost Ji. You have the opportunity to destroy Patriarch Yuntian's plan. How could you miss it?"

Jing Shuhan sighed softly: "Do you really think that fellow Taoist Ji will treat me as a disciple?"

Chen Yuan's heart moved, and his tone softened slightly: "Listening to what the fairy said, it seems that he has some grudges with Old Ghost Ji, so he should tell me what he is planning to destroy his plans."

After his words fell, Feiyun Sword stepped back a little, no longer pressing against Jing Shuhan's throat.

Jing Shuhan nodded slightly: "Since fellow Taoist was also coerced by Patriarch Yuntian, I will naturally tell the truth."

"It's just that this matter is a long story. I would like to ask fellow Taoist to remove the flying sword and allow me to explain it slowly."

She lowered her eyes slightly and glanced at the Feiyun Sword stopped in front of her throat.

With a thought in Chen Yuan's mind, the Feiyun Sword flew back, put it into his dantian, and said, "Fairy, please speak."

Jing Shuhan said: "The plot planned by Old Ghost Ji and Ancestor Yuntian is a Fulong Red True Vine. Fellow Taoist is a master of alchemy. He should have heard of this kind of elixir, right?"

"Fulong Chizhen Vine?" Chen Yuan was shocked and blurted out, "Fulong Chizhenvine that can extend life for two hundred years?"

Jing Shuhan nodded: "Yes, it is exactly this."

Chen Yuan said solemnly: "It is such a spiritual creature, no wonder it attracts the covetous attention of Patriarch Yuntian and Old Ghost Ji."

Jing Shuhan said: "Although Fulong Chizhen Vine is only a thousand-year-old spiritual grass, it has the effect of extending life and is even worth more than a three-thousand-year spiritual grass."

"This kind of spiritual creature has long been extinct in the Jade Clear Sea. Only one remains in Jueling Island, but only the Yuanying monks know this."

"Ancestor Yuntian and Old Ghost Ji entered Jueling Island this time precisely for this Fulong Chizhen Vine."

Chen Yuan frowned and said: "What's so special about the place where this Fulong Chizhen Vine is located? It requires Old Ghost Ji to expend his efforts to cultivate a disciple like Wang Lin, and Patriarch Yuntian forces me to work for him?"

Jing Shuhan said: "This Fulong Chizhen Vine grows in a secret space. The secret space is very strange and filled with a strange evil spirit."

"When a monk enters it, whether he is using magical powers or using magical weapons, his true energy consumption will double, and his power will be reduced by most. Even Nascent Soul monks cannot avoid it."

"But the strength of physical cultivation is based on the physical body. After entering the secret realm, it will not be affected."

"That's why Old Ghost Ji worked so hard to cultivate Wang Lin, and Patriarch Yuntian looked at fellow Taoist Taoist in a different light."

Chen Yuan suddenly realized, and the doubts that had been lingering in his heart for a long time were finally solved.

But then another question came to his mind, and he asked: "The transformed demon king's demon body is tyrannical. Since the physical strength will not be affected, the same must be true for the demon clan. Doesn't that secret space become the demon clan?" The world?”

Jing Shuhan said: "Fellow Taoist, don't worry about this. Only human monks can enter that secret realm, and the demon clan cannot compete for the Fulong Chizhen Vine."

Chen Yuan looked surprised: "Why is this?"

Jing Shuhan shook his head slightly: "I don't know this either, but the demon clan cannot enter the secret realm. This is what Ji Laogui said himself, and it is definitely not a lie."

Chen Yuan nodded slowly: "It seems that the secret space is even weirder than I imagined."

"The demon clan cannot enter, and the strength of the monks will be affected, and even the Nascent Soul monks will be forced to rely on the power of body cultivation."

"But apart from that, there should be other special features in that secret space, right?"

"Otherwise, just to capture the Fulong Chizhen Vine, Patriarch Yuntian doesn't have to use any means to hold me hostage."

"After all, as long as he leaves that secret realm, he is still a monk in the middle stage of Nascent Soul, and I am just a small alchemy body cultivator, and I can only let him slaughter me."

Jing Shuhan smiled and said: "Fellow Taoist is really keen. The place where the Fulong Red True Vine grows is also the place where the weird evil spirit is the strongest."

"If you want to pick off the Fulong Chizhen Vine, you will inevitably be corroded by the evil spirit."

"My fellow Taoist's physical body is indeed strong, but it is difficult to resist the strange evil spirit. As long as you step on it once, your physical body will collapse within three days."

Chen Yuan frowned: "Could the fairy be joking? There is such a terrifying evil spirit in the world that even a body cultivator can't resist it?"

Jing Shuhan said sternly: "I am absolutely not lying. Perhaps only the seventh-level monster royal family can not be afraid of its erosion. Human body cultivation will definitely not be able to survive this disaster."

Chen Yuan sneered: "No wonder Ancestor Yuntian wants to coerce me. He wants me to pull chestnuts from the fire for him."

He had long expected that Patriarch Yuntian had evil intentions, otherwise there would be no need to control his life and death and force him to enter Jueling Island.

But he originally thought that this matter was extremely dangerous. Ancestor Yuntian was worried that he would shrink and escape, so he used this method. Unexpectedly, he would definitely die.

A surge of anger arose in Chen Yuan's heart, and he suddenly had the intention to kill Patriarch Yuntian.

He paused and looked at Jing Shuhan: "This matter about Fulong Chizhenvine is so secret. It is only circulated among Yuanying monks and has not been known to outsiders for thousands of years. How did the fairy know about it? Why do you know so much about the secret space?”

A look of embarrassment appeared on Jing Shuhan's face: "This matter is related to the secrets of our family, so I cannot tell my close friends."

Chen Yuan raised his hand and grabbed it, Feiyun Sword appeared out of thin air, and said calmly: "What I said just now are all the words of a fairy."

"If you don't tell the whole story clearly, how will I know if you are lying to me or not? You just want me to turn against Patriarch Yuntian so that Old Ghost Ji can obtain the Fulong Chizhen Vine."

"By the way, Fulong Chi Zhen Teng is also a fairy. Whether there is such a magical elixir on Jueling Island is a matter of debate."

After that, he pointed a little, and the tip of the Feiyun Sword was pointed directly at Jing Shuhan. It was trembling slightly, and it seemed that it might shoot out at any time.

A chill rose in Shu Han's heart, and she saw undisguised murderous intent in Chen Yuan's eyes.

Even though Feiyun Sword was pressed against her throat just now, she didn't feel this way.

She knew that if her answer did not satisfy Chen Yuan, he would take action right away.

Jing Shuhan felt cold in her heart, but her face remained calm as usual. She chuckled and said, "Since Taoist friends want to know, I won't hide it. Please don't spread it around."

"The matter about Fulong Chizhenvine and the secret realm of space was told to me by a Supreme Elder of our sect."

"Which Supreme Elder?" Chen Yuan asked.

Jing Shuhan shook his head and said: "This Supreme Elder conceals his identity every time he meets me."

Chen Yuan frowned: "Why did he tell you these secrets?"

Jing Shuhan said: "He told me these things so that I could deal with Old Ghost Ji."

"Where do you start talking about this?"

There was a trace of hatred in Jing Shuhan's eyes: "Old Ghost Ji has never regarded me as his disciple. The reason why he accepted me as his disciple is because I am a spirit-containing body and he wants to refine me into an incarnation outside the body."

"Spirit-containing body?"

Jing Shuhan sighed softly: "This is a special physique. There is a trace of pure spirit in the body, which is very suitable for being refined into an incarnation outside the body."

"But Old Ghost Ji has planted a spell on me, and it can no longer be used by others."

Chen Yuan said: "Is this what the Supreme Elder told you?"

Jing Shuhan nodded and said: "Yes, although the Supreme Elder did not reveal his identity, I have already made a guess."

"There are only eight Nascent Soul cultivators in our sect, and there are only two who have grudges against Old Ghost Ji."

"He must be one of them. He doesn't want to see Old Ghost Ji transforming me into an external incarnation and increasing my strength, so he secretly wakes me up."

Chen Yuan's expression softened slightly, and it made sense that the sect was fighting within.

When he started his business in his previous life, the smaller the company, the more united it was; the larger the company, the more intense the internal conflicts.

The Tianji Sect has been passed down for thousands of years and has stood firm in the Yuqinghai Immortal Cultivation World. There must have been constant disputes within the sect.

Jing Shuhan continued: "Thanks to this Supreme Elder, I have not been kept in the dark by Old Ghost Ji, but I am unable to resist."

"I can only deliberately control my cultivation and never dare to break through the mid-term bottleneck, lest he refine me into an external incarnation."

Chen Yuan said: "Since the Supreme Elder doesn't want to see Old Ghost Ji transform you into an incarnation, why not just kill you?"

Jing Shuhan said: "Old ghost Ji's investment in me is just a drop in the bucket to him. Even if I die, his loss will not be big."

"Furthermore, there is no sworn relationship between me and Old Ghost Ji. As long as I live, I will definitely find ways to escape from Old Ghost Ji's control, and I can also provide the Supreme Elder with information about Old Ghost Ji, so he will spare my life." ,"

Chen Yuan nodded and asked again: "Old Ghost Ji wants to transform you into an incarnation, so why does he let you venture into Jueling Island?"

The hatred in Jingshuhan's eyes became even stronger: "He is approaching the end of his life and is in urgent need of the Fulong Red True Vine to extend his life."

"And I haven't been able to break through the mid-term bottleneck. I don't have enough cultivation to become an external incarnation."

"He has lost patience with me and asked me to enter that secret space with him. When necessary, he can use distraction to occupy my body, stimulate the potential of the spirit-containing body, and temporarily increase my strength to the Nascent Soul stage. "

"Although in that secret realm, the monk was affected by the demonic energy and was unable to exert his full strength, the trace of pure spiritual energy in my body was not affected and could be used as a great help to help him seize the Fulong Red True Vine."

"However, this technique will severely damage his soul. He will definitely not use it unless it is critical."

Chen Yuan nodded thoughtfully: "Old ghost Ji is so unscrupulous, surely Wang Lin also has some tricks he left behind, right?"

Jing Shuhan said: "Yes, he planted the Soul Blood Restriction on Wang Lin. With a single thought, he can take away Wang Lin's life."

Chen Yuan's heart moved: "Does Wang Lin know about this?"

Jing Shuhan nodded slightly: "The matter of Old Ghost Ji accepting Wang Lin as his disciple is extremely secret. Apart from him, I am the only one in the Tianji Sect who knows about it."

"He has already regarded me as his incarnation, and whenever he has something to do, he lets me do it."

"After I learned about the Fulong Chizhen Vine, I told Wang Lin about Old Ghost Ji's plan."

"He also hates Old Ghost Ji with all his heart, but he has been implanted with a soul-blood ban and cannot resist. He can only be at the mercy of Old Ghost Ji."

Speaking of this, Jing Shuhan showed a trace of regret on his face.

Chen Yuan's murderous intention towards Jing Shuhan was reduced to a minimum, but he still had doubts.

If what Jing Shuhan said was true, she and Ji Laogui would never be able to help him win the Fulong Red True Vine.

But this was only her one-sided statement after all. If she was lying and spread the news about Chen Yuan's killing of Qi Lang after she got away, Patriarch Yuntian would definitely not bypass Chen Yuan.

He pondered for a moment and said, "I can't see any flaws in what the fairy said, but after all, it's just your words. How can you prove that what you said is true?"

Jing Shuhan shook his head: "I can't prove it."

Chen Yuan frowned: "Then how do you want me to trust you, fairy?"

Jing Shuhan said: "I can make an oath for external demons."

Chen Yuan shook his head: "If the fairy violates the oath, the external demon will not take your life immediately."

"Moreover, there are many dangers in this Jueling Island. If the fairy encounters misfortune and reveals the matter to others before his death, or as at this moment, it is not impossible to ignore the oath in order to save his life."

Jing Shuhan pursed her lips tightly, pondered for a moment, and said, "What Taoist fellow Taoist is worried about is that I will spread the news about you killing Qi Lang."

"As long as I am with fellow Taoist, I will have no chance to spread this matter, whatever you wish, fellow Taoist."

Chen Yuan smiled: "Fairy, do you want to use my hand to pass the test?"

Jing Shuhan shook his head and said: "My fellow Taoist, this is wrong. Although my cultivation level is not high, Old Ghost Ji also gave me several treasures in order to help me pass the trial."

"Even if I am alone, I am sure to pass the trial. If you and I are together, we will actually benefit from our cooperation."

Chen Yuan said calmly: "If the fairy was really sure of passing the trial, she wouldn't have almost died in Qi Lang's hands."

Jing Shuhan's pretty face blushed slightly: "This is just an accident. There are very few people who can match Qi Lang in the entire Jueling Island. He is also a swordsman. I have tried my best to escape, but I can't escape."

"If it were any other late-stage pill-forming monks, I would have escaped long ago."

Chen Yuan said with a half-smile: "It turns out that the fairy has exhausted all her methods, no wonder she wants to go with me."

Jing Shuhan snorted softly: "Fellow Taoist, don't feel that you are at a disadvantage. We are all being coerced by the Nascent Soul cultivator. That secret space is our burial place."

"Only by joining forces can we have a chance."

"Furthermore, I was taught by Old Ghost Ji and the Supreme Elder, and I know a lot of secrets in Jueling Island. If you and I are together, it will be easier to pass the test."

Chen Yuan shook his head and said: "This reason is not enough. I also know the secrets you know. Ancestor Yuntian told me many secrets in order to let me pass the trial. Otherwise, how could I enter this cave?"

"And what you are dealing with is Old Ghost Ji, and what I want to deal with is Ancestor Yuntian. I really want to get rid of the control of Old Ancestor Yuntian, so I should cooperate with Old Ghost Ji."

Jing Shuhan frowned slightly, lowered his head and thought for a moment, then slowly raised his head and said: "Fellow Taoist is not a short-sighted person, so don't say such excuses."

"Old Ghost Ji will definitely regard you as a thorn in the flesh for Fulong Chizhen Teng, and it is impossible for you to secretly join forces with Old Ghost Ji in front of Patriarch Yuntian."

"What you say is that the benefits are not enough."

"Forget it, I know that there is a hidden island in the sea of ​​wind and thunder. There is a group of thunder beasts living on the island, and there are also several thousand-year-old elixirs. As a reward for helping me pass the trial, how about it?"

"Thunder beast?" Chen Yuan's eyes lit up, "Is this news from the Tianji Sect or from Old Ghost Ji?"

Jing Shuhan said: "Of course it's the news from Old Ghost Ji. Only the true disciples of our sect know the many secrets in Jueling Island. Even the matter about this cave was told to me privately by Old Ghost Ji."

Chen Yuan frowned and said, "Are you sure that those thunder beasts and the thousand-year-old elixir are still there?"

Jing Shuhan shook his head slightly: "This can only depend on luck, but Ji Laogui told me this matter in order to let me pass the trial. His attitude is very determined, and he should not be caught first."

"And Wang Lin also knows about this. Thunder beasts are not easy to deal with. Old Ghost Ji asked him to help me pass the trial."

"If he arrives at the island ahead of time, he will definitely drive away other cultivators and wait for me to join him. As long as nothing unexpected happens, you will definitely not suffer any loss."

Chen Yuan was determined in his heart: "In that case, I will help you pass the first test."

"But let me be frank. Before finding this group of thunder beasts, you'd better do what I say, otherwise there will be misunderstandings, and it will not end well.

"In addition, please don't spread the news that I killed Qi Lang."

Jing Shuhan smiled: "Don't worry, I still need your help to pass the test, and I will never make it difficult for you."

Chen Yuan nodded, drove the escape light, and flew to the north.

Jing Shuhan secretly breathed a sigh of relief and followed closely behind. (End of this chapter)
